Ephemeris

Two

The last four days have been an absolute whirlwind and I have not gotten a single moment to stop and collect my thoughts! I still want to record the surprises that J had for me after the wedding before I forget all the small details. The business he needed to handle turned into a rather messy affair and our poor Johnny was shot in the shoulder lastnight. I haven't been able to see him myself but J assured me that this is not Frost's first time on the receiving end of a bullet and will make a full recovery in some time.

But back to the purpose of this entry!

Shortly after the ceremony J and I walked back together through the garden and into the house, and while Frost was tasked with preparing my next "surprise" these frenzied newlyweds did what I'm sure all newly married couples like to do. I am a bit embarrassed to put all the sordid details into writing though I have no shame in the acts themselves. But surfice to say that our union is one that was barely over before it was consummated, multiple times! Through some kind of miracle my dress remains intact though I can't say the same for the lingerie I had specially chosen to wear underneath. Thankfully my very meticulous husband had a new outfit already picked out for me to change into, I had no idea there was anything else happening beyond our small ceremony so moving forward I was going in completely blind.

J left me alone briefly to change into his own after-party outfit as he called it and judging by what he left out for me it was going to be quite the affair. The dress was very very short with a strapless top, it was pale ivory with gold and bronze beading along the bottom, and spikey stiletto pumps in the same pale gold as the accents on the dress. I felt a bit silly but I stood infront of the mirror for way too long just swishing my hips and watching the tassels at the bottom of the dress twist and shift around me. I was lost in thought when I heard a loud deep purr, I looked up and locked eyes with J staring at me in the mirror. He looked incredible and yet somewhat casual for a night out, he wore a pair of perfectly tailored black denim pants, a crisp white silk shirt, and a white and black suit jacket. He had replaced a tie with a few of his favorite gold chains, they laid perfectly framed on his chest by the silk shirt which was unbuttoned to just above his belly button.

When I questioned him as to what was going on he brushed me off with a sly smile and a wink before scooping me up and carrying me bridal style back down the stairs and this time to the front doors. Like the well oiled machine he is, Frost was there to open the doors at just the right moment so that J barely had to break his stride until we were on the front steps leading down to the long winding driveway.

Before us sat a car, not just any old one from J's collection but a brand new snowy white Lamborghini Aventador. Now I am not a huge car person but I have seen J fawning over this particular car for months now, just waiting for one to come off the assembly line so he could get his hands on it. I never would've expected him to pick white though and when I asked him about it he gave me his signature cackle and opened the passenger door. I'm sure I made an audible gasp when I looked inside! Instead of the typical purple, green, gold, etc interiors that are so expected in The Joker's cars I found lush black leather with cobalt blue accents. The accent lighting was also blue LED and instead of the traditional Lambo emblem on the steering wheel I could see a small blue rose. Later J gave me all the details and explained that it was a sterling silver and enamel rose in the same style as the rose tattoo he wore on his shoulder for me.

I must have looked incredibly confused! J came up behind me, wrapped his strong arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder he whispered in my ear, "Is it not customary to give my bride a gift on our wedding day??" I quickly turned in his arms and kissed him with all the strength I could muster! Never in my life had someone given me such an extravagant gift! I had never even owned a car from the current decade let alone something as expensive and extravagant as this! He just laughed and motioned for me to climb into the passenger seat while he stalked around to the driver side. Once we were safely inside he pressed the glowing blue start button and we were off, to where I still had no clue.

Generally for safety when we travel even locally we have Frost drive us but I know how much J enjoyed being behind the wheel himself. He is a bit of a speed demon but let's be honest, your average Gotham City cop is not about to pull over any vehicle known to be associated with The Joker, so understandably I was nervous taking this new car out for the first time. He just cackled and hit the gas harder as we made our way downtown. As we jetted towards the city I became lost in my own thoughts watching the lights race past. I still can't believe that we pulled it off, we made it to the altar. I was fussing with the beautiful new wedding band that has now joined my sapphire engagement ring when J's low smooth voice cut through the silence. "Are you ready for your last surprise my little bunny rabbit??" He practically cooed at me which only made me melt into the leather seat even more. I don't think this man will ever stop having this kind of effect on me!

As we got deeper into the city I began to recognize the route we were taking. Unless he was just driving for the fun of it we were only a few blocks away from 'The Grin & Bare It' the very club I had snuck into a lifetime ago to try and see the enigma that is The Joker first hand. I still think about that night so often, replaying those first moments and the unabashed stupidity I possessed. At the time I thought it was bravery but looking back I had a death wish, suicide by Joker seemed the most fitting way to go. Crazy that the man I thought would be my end gave me a new beginning.

I snap out of my thoughts just as we roll to a stop. Usually when we go to the club or any of J's various businesses we always use the private entrance. I was about to question him when I realized that there was no one around, this time of night there should be a line forming around the block with fluorescent lights ablaze and scantily clad silhouettes dancing in the large windows that line the front of the building. This time there was none of that just a darkened sign and one lone light above the door. The club's head bouncer was standing in the same place as always though, arms crossed and stoic. His makeup was even there as always, all the bouncers has subtle clown makeup, his was a set of purple triangles around his left eye, the rest of the staff had green on their right eyes.

As excited as I was for whatever this surprise would be I was also a bit nervous and worried about being here with no one else around. Since being with The Joker I have become hyper aware of my surroundings both for my own safety but also for his. I would never want to compromise J for anything, I am too aware of the long list of people who would like to see my love dead and buried, law enforcement and other criminals alike!

I was brought back to earth again when I heard J growling under his breath and when I looked over he gave me a confused and annoyed look. I felt terrible and had to reassure him that I was okay just very confused. He insisted that I trust him and just let him lead the way, of course I trusted him but this was just a very emotionally charged place for me, which I'm sure he knew. I let him open my door and help me out of the car before leading me to the main entrance where he excitedly reached for my hand and gave it a squeeze. With a nod to the bouncer the large double doors slowly opened and we walked in.

The sight before me was beyond my wildest imagination. The entire club was lit, the fixtures sparkling like gold and diamonds everywhere but what really pulled my attention was the hundreds of blue roses decorating the space. I couldn't have counted them if I tried! I stood there with my mouth open just staring as J let go of my hand and walked in a few feet before turning with his arms spread and the biggest most genuine smile I had ever seen cross his handsome face. Again I can only hope to paraphrase what he said in that moment.

"Alice, you know I am a man of tradition and there was no force on this earth to keep me from giving you a proper wedding reception. Of course, the problem with that is well.. I don't trust any one else near you.. buttttt that doesn't mean we still can't have a party!"

When he laughed it echoed through the entire room, a cacophony of my favorite sound in the whole world. We danced for what felt like hours! J even had all of my favorite foods delivered in and we dined like royalty. It was so exciting to spend time together in this club without fear or worry of prying eyes on us. We had been together long enough by now that I was a well known presence by his side. Not many details were known about me publicly but those who frequently did business with The Joker atleast knew he now had a mysterious blue haired woman at his side and you were not to speak to her unless spoken too. I sometimes felt alittle silly but it was so exciting being involved with J's business dealings and from time to time my presence really did help out in a deal!

Back to the night at hand though! We stayed until the early hours of the morning which is not surprising for us, time seems to lose some of its power inside these walls. I did have one final request before we left for home, I whispered a song title in J's ear and asked him for one final dance of the night. His face was confused at first but he quickly remembered and ordered the song be played. With my shoes long since discarded, he walked me out onto the very center of the main dance floor and pulled me close just as the music began to play. The song was 'If I Were a Carpenter' by Bobby Darin, these lyrics had a very special meaning to me and I know J felt it too. We let the song repeat about fours time, just lost in each other as he slowly and gracefully guided me around the floor. When the music ended for the final time he gather me up in his arms and purred into my ear. He whispered the most delightfully naughty list of things he planned to do me when we got home and while I was happy to go upstairs and let him get to work on that list right here he was right, it was time to go home.

This time it was Frost who drove us home, my shiny new Lambo had been taken back to the property while we were inside lost in our own little party. I curled up in J's lap like a sleepy kitten as we made our way back out of the city. Through the black tinted windows I could just see the first hints of daylight starting to creep above the horizon. I knew we would be awake for atleast another full day before I could get him to lay his head on a pillow and actually sleep. We would be heading out, what now was technically tonight, to the Penthouse for a few days and I knew there was a few very important meetings lined up over the course of the weekend.

Episode 5: Two of a Kind

Meanwhile...

I paced back and forth anxiously waiting for my pint-sized companion, Audrey. She was one ballsy chick that one. Smart too. Smart enough to see right through me I'm sure. There were so many times I just wanted to up and leave. Escaped those sweet judging eyes, but I had promised her. Promised to help find her dad. Promised her we would both find our loved ones together. To think a guy like me on some hero's mission. It was a stark contrast from my life before and the selfish intentions I shared with my previous group. If you can even call us a group.

You see I had traveled with two men before meeting Audrey. A crooked cop, named David who framed me for murder and a convicted predator named, Mark. I had traveled with them for two months and had survived with them despite the dysfunctional dynamic between us, but back then it was all about preserving myself. Even if meant ignoring Mark's angry outburst towards David and any poor souls we came across. Even if it meant looking away when David used his forked tongue to take advantage and hide his own dirt. Without batting an eye I watched them take and scheme.

Part of me even feeling at home with such behavior, but then I met Audrey and everything changed. She saved me. Both physically and mentally I was revived.

Now I was standing here doubting myself. Wondering what I would even say to her. The memories of them both perishing still fresh in my mind. The anger I felt when I almost killed Mark with my bare hands still vivid. If Audrey hadn't stopped me I would have. That in itself scared me. How easy it was to resort to violence. To descend back into my old ways. Was I becoming the monster I once was or was I becoming something much worse? I wasn't sure, but she had already made up her mind about me. I was sure of it.

I sighed stopping in my tracks eying a corpse just outside. "Speaking of monsters..."

I grasped the rifle still resting in my hand. Seeing the occasional corpse walking through wasn't an unusual occurrence, but what came next definitely was. As I stepped forward towards the doorway ready to dispose of the mindless bag of bones, a strange man appeared out of nowhere behind it. He grabbed it by the head and stabbed it with his knife. Another man then ran up behind him carrying a gas can. They were both tall, white, blonde from what I could see, but one wore a long coat and a mask. A woman was also with them, but she veered to the left suddenly as they came closer to the rest stop.

I ducked behind the counter. Both in shock and in fear. Who were these people? What did they want? I watched the masked guy in the coat ordered his companion to fill up the gas can pointing towards the pumps. He seemed to be the leader. He stopped briefly studying our car. His hand lightly gliding across the hood as he walked. He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a glock as his eyes narrowed on the rest stop before him.

He entered slowly and cautiously brandishing his weapon. I held my breath as he reached the counter placing his palm on it. As he leaned over the counter, the other man called out to him.

"Hey, Matt! You got to look at this car!"

He turned around lowering his gun and his guard. He gestured for his partner to be quiet and turned around to my rifle in his face. His eyes widened and he froze.

"Put the gun down,” I said. My eyes still glued to his weapon. He slowly placed it on the counter and held up his hands.

"Good. Good. Now, who the hell are you?!"

He pulled down his mask and glared back at me. "Who are you?"

His partner then came walking in. The gas can still in his hand. He dropped it immediately upon seeing us.

"Oh, shit! Please don't shoot. Please. We...we just wanted gas, sir", he stammered. "Are you...are you the owner? We can give it back."

I snickered, "The owner is dead. His body's out back with a bite wound and a bullet in the head. Nah. I'm no owner. Just surviving. Now tell me is this your brother...Matt or Matthew? I did hear that right, right?"

The one they called, "Matt" looked back at his brother shooting him a dirty look and turned back to me frowning. "Yes. As my brother said we need gas. Are you alone here?"

"I'm the one asking the questions, here. I got the upper hand."

"And we got the numbers," he smirked. "So tell me what's your name? You know mine. And well this is Nathan. Yours?"

My rifle remained trained on him. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I guess it doesn't matter. It's Vince. Now tell me. Where did your lady friend go?"

"Lady friend?"

"Don't play stupid. I saw her. Where she go?!"

"To the restroom," Nathan blurted out nervously.

"Nathan!" Matt hissed.

"Audrey...," I gasped.

"Who?" they both said in unison as they exchanged puzzled looks and panic began to set in.

Sorry for the delay. I totally felt the pressure of getting this meeting right both visually and in writing! It's an important and awesome moment! Hoped you liked it! The next chapter will follow this week and hoping to do another Friday! *crosses fingers*
