4) Welcome To Gotham (3)

They made it back to the Joker's place after ditching the car and crawling the sewers for a while, they came to the street where they had a get away car before leaving. Harley didn't mind at all, she sung skipping and following him the entire way, he actually nodded his head along with it, she had a beautiful voice.

"Harley dear?" He said looking over to her as she was rolling in a pile of money.

"Yeah Puddin'?" She asked stopping to look over at him.

"When I go to get this new place, why don;t you move in with me? It is a little inconvenient for you to always need to come over, where are you staying at anyway?" He asked while setting down a pile of money.

Her eyes were shinning as she looked at him, "Really Puddin'? I can live with you, that is great!! I was staying over at this small little apartment I found, now though since I can stay with you I will find us a better place."

"A better place?" He asked with a brow raised.

"Yeah." She said while standing and slipping on her shoes as if she was going to take off at that moment.

"Well wait let me get ready. I want to join you to find a place, plus we can get it for free as long as we are really....convincing." He said with a creepy smile while putting his gun into the waist of his pants.

Harley beamed at him nodding her head, "Great idea Puddin', it will help our name grow while also letting us keep all the money we just gained."

He nodded. At the moment he didn't have a real plan for the money, it was just going to be used to hire goons, who they would most likely kill in the end one way or another.

Money also didn't really appeal to him, seeing as he was just going to rob and steal for everything he wanted then it was just something to have on hand just in case. Harley also was bigger thief then him so he knew that she wouldn't be using the money, before he even made the suggestion he knew she would just take the place by force.

Though he did think about buying a night club or something for a base, it was just so if the batman came after them they wouldn't be ambushed at their own home. Unlike the other Joker though who was obsessed with Batman, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the guy the first chance he got.

Hell it was one of his goals to kill the guy, he wanted to leave his mark by kill five great superhero's, maybe more if he got the chance.

They sped through the city, Harley already set up an interview with a real estate agent as they were leaving, they were meeting her at a pent house apartment. Though he wasn't really surprised about how cheap the price was for it, with the crime in this city the worst place to live only had rent going for $250, while the place they were looking at is only $800.

It was a four bed room, five bathroom with a swimming pool on the patio, there was also room to add things but first they needed to see the place fully. Harley was over the moon ever since he allowed her to live with him, if he was being one hundred percent honest then he just didn't want to be alone, not again.

As they pulled up they ignored the looks while going into the building, since they were meeting the woman at the top they went straight there since she might be there. When they did make it to the top a woman was standing outside the apartment waiting on them, "You must be---" Her words died off as they got closer to her.

"Hello!" Harley sang, "Here is what is going to happen, you are going to give us the place or Mr. J here isn't going to be to happy. So how about we work on transferring the ownership of the place."

"M-M-My C-Ca-Company owns the whole building it would take a while to falsify the paperwork." The woman stuttered as Harley was tapping her bat right next to the woman's head.

"Well Mr. J, what do you have to say to that?" Harley said with a smile, she only really called him Puddin' when they were alone. When she was doing things like this it was Mr. J showing who was really running things between them.

Joker didn't waste any time pulling out his gun and making sure a silencer appeared on it, he took a shot right next to her head, the bullet grazed her hair cutting some of it off. The woman couldn't hold her bowls after that, this happens a lot to people in Gotham but no one ever expects it to happen to them when they walk out of their house.

"I-I-I C-Can have it done in two days." She said tears streaming down her face.

"Great! Mr. J I am going to watch her until we get the place, that way just in case she tries something then I can kill her before we get the heat on us." Harley said with a giggle skipping over to him, she kissed his cheek before he nodded at her.

Shaking his head he walked away, he didn't need to be with her for this part, he was going to take the chance to explore Gotham a little more, but he needed t get out of his make-up first.

An hour later he was walking the streets, it was hardly eight o'clock at night but the sound of gun shots were already being heard, it just showed how different it was from where he lived. Well not to much actually, seeing as he was homeless in his past life he was in the poorer parts of town and the streets weren't all that safe.

"Hand over anything expensive you have on yourself or I will cut you." A man who clearly looked like he has been doing drugs said while holding what was a hunting knife towards his gut.

Joker raised a brow before quickly pulling a gun and shooting the man in the gut, the guy let out a breath and went to his knees, "P-please...I....I have a family." He said while holding his stomach as he looked up at the Joker.

"A man with a family wouldn't be doing something like this. If you really had a family you would be taking care of them, this is a dangerous city after all." Joker said as he pulled the trigger again shooting the guy right in the head, this was now his fourth kill since he has shown up in the world.

At least he was getting the Welcome To Gotham that he thought, he was sure that he should have been mugged or at least and attempt sometime he was out the day before, but he wasn't. Putting the gun away he whistled a tune while walking deeper into the city, he completely ignored everyone else who saw the murder.

There were so many police sirens going off in the city he was sure that none would even show up, though he didn't see anyone pulling out a phone to call the police.

While he was walking he looked up and happened to catch sight of a woman in a black body suit jumping across the buildings, smiling he ran to the nearest alley and went up a ladder. It only took him seconds to reach the roof, as he did he caught her three roof's away sneaking into a building.

Since he wanted to meet more of the characters of the world he followed along, his footsteps silent as he went into the window, he caught sight of her looking at a glass container holding a necklace. "So how expensive is it?" he asked making the woman jump as she heard his voice.

"Who are you?! How did you get in here?!" She said while glaring at him.

"Well Cat... Can I call you Cat? Well Cat it is simple, I followed you. I was interested in what you were doing so I followed along, though I was wondering how Batsy over there knew we were both here." He said while pointing to Batman who was watching the two of them from the shadows, he was sure if he didn't have Enhanced John Wick sense's then he wouldn't have noticed the man.

She ignored him whipping her head to look where he was pointing, Batman walked out of the shadows while looking between the two of them, "I knew she would be here the moment the jewel was brought into the city. There is a gala for it tomorrow, I knew she would be here to try and take it before the gala happen. Though I also wanted to catch you, I saw what you did to that man on the street."

Joker didn't say anything but brought out his gun and took a shot at Batman, it had Armor piercing rounds shooting out of it, he wanted to see if one bullet was able to break through the suit. Seeing the bullet hit the man in the chest he knew that it wasn't strong enough, though he did hear the man make a low grunt from the impact of the bullet.

"Well didn't see that coming, you are pretty ruthless huh?" Catwoman said while looking back to Joker who had put the gun back to his side.

Batman didn't say anything he threw a smoke bomb out covering the room, Joker could hear the faint sounds of his feet but he had to really concentrate on the sound.
