Summery: Joker finds his daughter in the house when he gets home and they talk about life in Gotham.
You hated nights alone. Nights left you with time to think and over think. The quite house let you think of everything you didn’t have. It didn’t matter how many clothes, jewels and money your parents gifted you, you still felt completely alone. They were your world but everything started and ended with them. The difficulty was finding anyone who could look past your parents, their reputations proceeded them and hung over you like a shadow. It made you feel like you were left in the middle of the maze with no map.
You walked through the empty house as your bare feet made sounds echo off the marble floor and extravagant decor.
Going into the living room you saw one of your fathers many, many, bottles of whiskey, you snatched it before walking outside. You looked at Gotham from the distance of your house. You swung your legs over the edge of the balcony and sat teetering on the edge with the bottle in hand.
You watched the changing of lights over all the buildings and the sound of distant gunfire. It’s almost like you could hear your father laughing his manic laugh as he caused chaos. Your mother by his side watching the world that they lived in pass by from the windows of the Lamborghini a smile covering her face. They had each other no matter what happens they’d find the other, you knew they feel the same about you. Yet you still felt this awful loneliness when you thought about your future.
Soon you had emptied the bottle as hours of saddening thoughts plagued your thoughts. You held it over the ledge and watched as you saw the crystal smash below on the concrete dining area. You heard a gunshot ring out from below and the entirely of the glass doors on the ground floor shatter.
Out below you walked the joker, your father, the man who vowed to always love and protect you. Even from the distance you could see the rage that ran through his body, he tried to hide it from you yet you knew. No man was perfect especially your father but he wasn’t all that others said he was there was more he never let anyone but you and your mother to see. He wildly pointed his gun around in the dim light looking for the intruder. He lowered his gun and ran his hand through his hair and he looked up towards the sky.
He saw the small feet and pale legs of his daughter hanging over the edge. Suddenly he felt the fear of loosing you, his daughter, his light, his last piece of sanity.
He rushed into the the house and up the stairs. As he threw open your door he could hear you laughing like your mother as you sat in the face of death. Everyone thought he had no fear but his only fear was losing you. That’s why he kept you away from his life for so long. Away from the world of danger and death, it brought him unwavering fear of the thought of you being lost to him forever.
“Baby kitten?” He walked towards you with caution trying to talk softly and calmly.
You didn’t say a thing but you had stopped laughing when his voice reached your ears. “What are you doing out there?”
“Daddy?” He wanted to rush to your side but he was afraid he wouldn’t reach you I time.
“Anything kitten, anything you desire I will give it to you.” He always wanted you to be happy and smile for him.
“I’m so lonely daddy.” Tears started streaming down your face as you spoke to him, his insanity somehow made you feel sane and calm. “I have everything a girl could want but I still feel so sad and alone.”
“Princess you are not alone, I am here for you I will always be here for you.” His voice grew closer as you heard his shoes click against the marble. You pushed yourself up and put your feet underneath you so you were crouched on the railing. His heart stated to race when she moved, her life was on an edge and he froze unable to help.
She quickly jumped off the railing onto the balcony turning to face her father. The second her feet touched the ground he quickly engulfed her in his arms.
“Princess you scared me, why were you sitting there?”
“I’m not sure, it just felt more peaceful than sitting inside this big empty house alone. It was better than being alone with my thoughts running through my mind casting shadows everywhere.”
“Oh sweetheart, I know how scary the inside of ones mind can be. How about we find you a companion for when me and your mother can’t be with you.”
“A companion?” You pulled your face away from his chest to look into his eyes, was your father trying to set you up.
“No, no, no, little one,” he let out a long loud laugh before he continued,“ not like that, I’m not handing you over to some ungrateful boy so he can take you away from me. Because darling you’re never going to be rid of me. I am talking about a pet.”
“You said you never wanted a pet.” On the long list of things of things you father hated, number one being Batman of course, pets was rather high on the list.
“I’d rather deal with some mutt or feline furball than see you unhappy. All I want is to see my princess to smile.” He placed his smile tattooed hand over your mouth and looked down at you. You gently wrapped your hands over his to pull it from your face to reveal your very own smile.
