#maybe some mild joker bashing

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Tim is the first to find out the Red Hood’s identity and from then on sticks to Jason during patrol like glue (much to Jason’s chagrin, dammit, it would feel wrong to beat up Robin when he’s that starry eyed…)

Cue: PANIC from the rest of the Batfamily, who still think Hood is a forty-something year old crime lord and now assume they’re dating.

Break Out Arthur Fleck/Joker x reader one shot part 2

A/N: Hey guys! I decided to go with the idea I had for the second part of Break Out. I decided not to write a summary since I thought it would give too much away. This might not be as suspenseful and dark as the first part, but hopefully you like it. I’m still basing Joker off of his personality in Arkham and it’s hard to say if he’ll be out of character. I hope he isn’t. If this is awful, I’m sorry 😂 Here’s the link to part 1 https://darkshadow90.tumblr.com/post/620422286556692480/break-out-arthur-fleckjoker-x-reader-one-shot

You woke up. ‘I’m not dead. He didn’t kill me? He must’ve been so preoccupied with escaping from Arkham, it didn’t matter to him if I was dead at the time or not. I remember he said he didn’t want me calling the police. Then not long after that I passed out. But where am I now?’ Your throat was sore and your head hurt a little. “Oh, good you’re awake.” A nurse was fixing your pillow. It occurred to you that you were in the hospital. “Thankfully, you’re not seriously injured. You have no major injuries to your head. It’s just a mild concussion, but we’re gonna keep you overnight just to be safe. Just take it easy and get some rest, okay? Looks like you’ve got a visitor. I’ll leave you two alone.” She left the room and a man walked in. “Hey there,” he said.

He didn’t look like someone you knew. He had short black hair, nicely combed. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers. Once you got a better look at him, you realized he was the orderly that was in the elevator with you and the Joker. “You’re the orderly from the elevator. What are you doing here?” “I found you unconscious in one of our psychiatrist’s offices. I was worried when you weren’t responding, so I called an ambulance. The doctor said you didn’t suffer any major injuries. How are you feeling?” “Well, my throat is sore and my head hurts a little, but I’ll live.” “Do you remember what happened?” “The office was the only unlocked room I could hide in. Somehow, the Joker knew I was hiding in there. He found me hiding under the desk. He told me I was the only visitor, and since it was the day he was planning on escaping from Arkham, he didn’t want me to ruin it by calling the police. He asked if I wanted to hear a joke, and after he told it to me, he grabbed by neck from behind me and squeezed it until I passed out. I don’t remember hitting my head, though.” The man felt sorry for you.

“I’m sorry. I could tell you didn’t feel entirely safe judging by the look on your face when you got off the elevator. I should’ve known he was up to something. I thought we had everything under control. But then he attacked one of the staff and...” “It’s okay. You didn’t know. It’s not your fault. I was visiting a friend. She checked herself into Arkham a few days ago. She’s supposed to go home tomorrow, but now I don’t want to pick her up alone. Not after what happened.” “If you want, I can meet you at the front desk and go with you.” “Really? You’d do that?” “Sure. Just tell the receptionist your name and ask for Johnny.” You thanked him and told him your name. “It’s no big deal. I’m just glad you’re okay. I should get going. I’ve got an early morning shift. See you tomorrow.” You said your goodbyes and decided to get some rest.

It was dark when you woke up. It must’ve been nighttime. Even though you were in the hospital, you were worried. The Joker escaped from Arkham, and could be anywhere. ‘Why would he come back for me? I’m just some random person. It’s not like I have anything he would be interested in. But then, I don’t have to. He’s the Joker. Who knows what goes on in that mind of his? He’s probably robbing banks or dealing with mobsters, or something.’ Unfortunately your anxiety became worse as you turned on the TV, flipping through channels and you landed on the news. The news about the Joker escaping from Arkham and your hospitalization nearly made you panic. It meant he would know you were alive. Maybe he already knew. There weren’t any stories about him committing any crimes, so you wondered how the media knew he escaped. Then it hit you. The staff at Arkham must’ve called the police. ‘Shit. He knows. He’ll come here.’ You heard screams from outside.

You thought you heard gunshots. Your heart was racing. You climbed out of bed. Thankfully, you were wearing thin hospital pants so the lower half of your body wasn’t naked if you needed to make a run for it. You carefully opened you door and looked outside. It didn’t look like anyone was injured. Doctors and nurses were running scared for their lives. You looked to your left and froze at what you saw. Joker and two men wearing clown masks. ‘Great. So I’ve got him and his goons to deal with.’ They didn’t see you. The front desk was at the end of the hall. The woman behind the desk nearly went pail from fear when she saw the Joker and his men approaching her. He sauntered over to her and leaned over the counter. He had a smug grin on his face, acting as if he was trying to make conversation with her. “I’m looking for someone.” He mentioned your name. “Do you know where she is?” She was trying her best to stay calm. “I’m sorry, but visiting hours are over. I can’t let you see her now.” He nodded. “Boys.” The two men went behind the counter and began taking out files from the shelves. “S-sir, I can’t let you do that. It’s against the rules. P-please don’t take the files out of the shelves. We have them organized to keep track of patients.” The men didn’t listen to her. They kept taking out files until they found yours. “Here it is, boss.” The man handed it to him. Joker quickly flipped through it, not really caring to read the majority of the contents. When he finished, he threw it over his shoulder. Joker took a gun out of his pocket and aimed it at her. You were terrified he was going to shoot her. He shouted, “Bang!” She screamed, and he laughed. He thought it was funny to scare her like that. You thought he would fall to his knees from laughing so hard. His men looked at each other and shrugged, not understanding what was so funny. You decided to make a run for it.

You ran passed your room. ‘What a nutter. No wonder he was in Arkham. What a smug prick, too. Scaring her like that, and then laughing about it. At least he didn’t kill her. I’ve got to buy myself some time and hide somewhere. You turned left and found an area with crash carts and medical supplies and equipment. You peeked behind the wall and saw the two men go in your room. Joker wasn’t with them. You weren’t sure why, but at least none of them found you yet. You ducked behind the wall and quickly crouched behind the crash carts. You took some time to breathe. There were silver trays with medical supplies, one of them was in front of you. It hid you a little more from view. You looked ahead of you and saw a vent. ‘If I can make it to that vent, I can crawl through it and try to get to the security office and call the police. I don’t want to risk putting another receptionist’s life in danger. It’s me he wants anyway. He’s smart. He knows I know he’s here buy now. If he’s not with his goons, he’s probably up to something. But what? Does he really get that much enjoyment going after one person?’ It wouldn’t surprise you if he did.

You didn’t waste any time. You made your way to the vent, and carefully removed it from the wall. You climbed in and carefully began making your way through. You were being as careful as you could to not make any noise. You made your way through each path despite the fact you weren’t sure where you were going. You peeked through each vent you came to. You still wanted to be quiet. Just because they hadn’t found you didn’t mean they weren’t looking. You heard voices up ahead. Unfortunately you didn’t have a direction you could go except straight ahead. You peeked through the vent, but you didn’t see anyone. Whoever it was must’ve been gone. You sighed in relief. It startled you when Joker suddenly looked through the vent. “Peekaboo,” he crooned. You kicked the vent, knocking him over in the process. ‘Shit! How did he know?’ You quickly jumped out of the vent and ran.

You ran down the hallway, and went into the first room you came to. You crouched behind the wall, and you tried to make it to the phone, but someone grabbed you and threw you to the ground. “Just as I thought, you didn’t disappoint. I knew tonight would be fun.” He had you pinned down. You tried to fight him off, but he bashed your head on the ground. “Night-night.” You prepared yourself for what was to come, but it never came. The last thing you saw before you passed out was a dark figure tackling Joker off of you. You knew you were safe when you realized who it was, and smiled. “Batman.”

You woke up in your room. The police told you Batman apprehended the Joker and took him back to Arkham. Batman told the police Joker came after you because he was bored, and you were one of the people lucky enough to survive crossing paths with him. He also knew that if you called the police at the hospital, Batman wouldn’t be far behind. He didn’t want his fun to end just yet. Now that he’s back in Arkham, you would be safe. You checked yourself out of the hospital and went to Arkham to pick up your friend. You asked for Johnny and he went with you to make sure you were safe the whole time. You told your friend about everything that happened. Needless to say, both of you were happy your lives would be normal again.
