[So...yeah, hi. James talking. For those of you that don't know, I'm from Austria. Suicide Squad is out on August, 18th here and even though I told myself not to watch spoilers...well, I fucked up. BAAAADlyyy. I am weak...and I saw shit. godDAMN! I'm tf out. All I wanted to say is that this chapter includes spoiler sentences at the chemical plant. Just for those of y'all that didn't watch the movie yet. Also, for the needy ones of you guys/girls, the next chapter might be interesting. Until then, Bye Bye!]

"Get out of the car!" I demanded as I glared at Joker through the windshield of his purple car, totally ignoring the honking car behind him on the road. As if I'd give a flying fuck about anything else than Joker right now. He owed me an answer.

A smile on his face, Joker finally opened the door of his car and stepped out, my eyes following his every move and making sure he didn't pull another one of his tricks. I mean. Not that I'd be mad at him. Why should I be? He only used me to get out of Arkham and dropped me like a hot potato afterwards. But again. No hard feelings.

Slightly smiling, he narrowed his eyes at me as he walked up to me, his green eyes glowing while he moved his lips, obviously speaking but somehow, I didn't hear a single thing. 'Those ruby red lips...' I blinked and snapped out of my zone, finally able to focus on his words.

"...told ya a million times that I just wanted outta Arkham. Nothing else. Don't blame me for this fiasco." He slowly circled me, my eyes following him but I didn't turn my head to follow his moves. Why should I? It's not like I cared if he'd stab me from behind. If he wanted to kill me, he'd already have done it.

"I know what it's like." Joker said as he stopped in front of me, only about a foot and a half away from me while I kept staring at his face. "When you got everything sorted, the clock's set and then, boom! Someone smashes your reality and creates something new. Within. A. Ssssecond!" He said and clapped his hands together right in front of my face.

What the hell was he trying to do? Scare me? Make me flinch? Please. There wasn't much that could scare me after what happened at Arkham. I just kept my eyes locked on his face and grinned. "Within a second, huh?" I asked and placed my hands on his cheeks, quickly but gently pulling his face closer to mine and kissing him on the lips.

I had my eyes closed and even though I couldn't see anything, I could feel things. Pretty well. And what I felt were his hands slightly touching my arms and moving down to my waist. But I also felt how he almost immediately broke the kiss and turned around, leaving me slightly angry.

"What is wrong with me then?" I asked in frustration and he shook his head, slowly turning towards me again. "That's complicated." He started but got interrupted by a pretty big, pretty angry truck driver that kept honking for some time.

"Could y'all freaks wrap things up?!" He asked with outraged eyes and Joker just turned his head around to him. "Yeah, yeah, calm your ovaries, we're in the middle of something here."

"So am I! I'm on a damn schedule and ca--" he got cut off by me grabbing a gun from Joker's holster and shooting the moron point blank between the eyes to shut the fucker the hell up.

"Ha!" Joker laughed and looked at me, a smile still on his face as I pointed the gun at his head. "I have it with you and your manipulations!" I growled and kept my arm up, leaving Joker staring at me. "Then do it, shot me!" He stared right into my eyes and almost begged me to pull the trigger.

"Just...tell me one last thing. Is my shoe tied up?" Joker asked me and - only for literally a second - my eyes moved down to his belt, I didn't even move my head. But suddenly, faster than I could react, he grabbed the gun from my hand and I winced in surprise. While Joker grinned triumphantly.

"Still couldn't do it. So disappointing." He said and pointed the gun at his right temple. "Yet so easy." He said and put the gun into his belt. "Just one last...advise." Joker started and I looked at him but immediately got slapped to the ground.

"Don't act as if you know me. It's...unhealthy." He chuckled and pointed his gun at me again while I was still on the ground, staring up at him.

"What happened?" I asked quietly and watched Joker putting his gun back into his holster. "What changed?" My eyes still on his face, I sat up as Joker just sighed in annoyance but turned around and walked back to his car, opening the door of the passenger seat while he kept walking and I immediately got up on my feet, then got into his car with him before he drove off.

"Question."

I turned around on the platform I stood on and took my eyes off the nine vats of chemical waste to face Joker who stood a few feet away from me.

"Would you die for me?" He asked and I kept my eyes straight on his face. "Yes." I answered without hesitation but Joker turned his head aside, his face remaining emotionless while I gulped. "That's so easy." He said quietly and stared back at me.

"Would you..." He paused and thought for a moment, then quickly inhaled before he continued. "Would you live for me? Hm?" He asked, his emerald green eyes glowing in the darkness and I felt my heart skipping a beat.

"Yes." I whispered a few moments later and felt a tiny smile growing on my face and my eyes becoming filled with tears of all the emotions while my eyes scanned his serious face.

"Careful." Joker said and warningly moved his pointer finger up. "Do not speak this oath thoughtlessssly." His strong voice echoed through the entire factory and I gulped as he placed his left hand over my mouth to keep me from speaking.

"Desire becomes surrender, surrender becomes power." My eyes still staring into his, he removed his hand from my mouth with his pointer finger stroking down my bottom lip. "You want this?"

"I do." My voice was still quiet but a little stronger than before while Joker leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

"Say it." He demanded and looked at me again. "Say it. Say it!" Joker opened his mouth widely and lifted my head a tiny bit with his fingertips on my chin. "Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty pretty, pretty..." His voice became so quiet I could barely hear it so I finished the word.

"Please." I answered and he took his fingers off my chin while he slightly nodded. "God. You're so good."

I turned around and stared down from the platform at the nine vats of boiling chemical waste. I wasn't scared. I wanted to be with Joker for ever. And I'd do whatever it'd take to make him love me.

Facing him again, I looked into his eyes and he gave me a small smile to encourage me to actually jump. A short moment of silence followed as I stretched my arms aside and slightly grinned before I let myself fall back and my feet lost contact with the platform.

'I'm actually doing it...' I thought to myself and closed my eyes as I hit the hot liquid, my body feeling numb and my world soon becoming quiet...and black.

♦♦

Something...some kind of impulse went through my body like a thunderbolt and I suddenly opened my eyes widely, gasping for air.

I immediately noticed Joker's face right above me, I felt his arms around me, one hand on my back and the other one at the back of my head. 'Did...did you jump after me...to save me?'

But I didn't care at all anymore as Joker closed his eyes and leaned down, while I started to slowly close my own, my eyes looking at his lips while I felt his breath on my skin.

Our lips connected and I placed both of my hands on the back of his head, feeling his wet hair and smiling as he kept kissing me a little deeper. I moved my right hand down his neck to his back over his partly dissolved red, silky shirt. the hot liquid of the chemical waste on my skin. And there was this feeling of my stomach cramping as he grabbed my hair tightly.

After a few seconds, Joker pulled back and I looked at him for a short moment before I moved my left hand down over his neck and chest. I squeezed my eyes shut again as both of us started to laugh loudly for actually more reasons than I could count.
