Warning: Detailed gore, mentions of rape and torture
Joker smiled down at his three victims "Jonny, get my toys!" he yelled cheerfully.
Jonny came back with a few cases and duffel bags, Joker opened one and pulled out two pieces of wood, both with six sharp metal rods pointing towards each other and a large bolt on each end connecting them together "This is call the knee splitter, its only for my very special guests," he said cheerfully "It was made in the medieval ages but wasn't really used after that, well not that I know of but I liked the idea of it so much and it was so easy to make, I made my own," he chuckled and moved over to Amanda Waller who hadn't stopped glaring at him "Now we just put it on," he said as he put her knee in the middle of the spikes, one set of spike behind her knee and one in front "And now…we tighten these," he finished and began tightening both bolts at the same time.
Slowly, her knee was crushed and impaled by the twelve spikes, the two men tied to the other chairs were almost sick, Captain Boomerang looked disgusted at the sounds of the bones cracking, Harley and Killer croc watched smiling and Deadshot watches emotionlessly.
"Ok!" Joker said over Waller's screams of pain when he was finished "It's more painful when I take it out, plus I have five more knees to do," he added and started to unscrew the spikes from her knee and proceeded to do the same to her other knee and the two men's knees.
After an hour of various torture, removing nails, removing teeth, putting out cigarettes on their skin etc. Joker turned to Jonny again "Bring the rats," he said and he nodded.
Harley didn't even know what he was doing this time, Jonny came back with six small metal buckets, six long pieces of fabric and a cage of rats, he handed them to the Joker "Here ya go boss," he said.
"Now," Joker started, putting down the items and opening the cage, taking out one of the rats that proceeded to bite his glove "These are my pet rats, they are very very hungry," he said and grabbed one of the metal buckets and one piece of fabric. He placed the rat on Griggs' thigh and quickly put a bucket over it before tying it down, the rat began to bite at the man's skin making him yell in pain "They're hungry and trapped so the only thing they can do is eat their way out, have fun," he explained and did the same to his other thigh and the same to the other two captives "Move them to the basement, we'll check on them in the morning."
The Joker's henchmen did as they were told and he went back up to his penthouse to find Harley already there laying on the couch, she looked tired "When was the last time you got some sleep?" he asked.
"Before you went missing," she whispered.
"Get some sleep," he said and kissed her cheek.
"Only if you promise you will too," she replied.
He smiled "I promise," he sighed and went into the bathroom to clean the blood off.
When he looked up into the mirror he saw Jack Napier staring back at him but this time he wasn't scared, this time he wasn't weak. He growled and threw his fist into the mirror, the mirror shattered into a spider web shaped crack but it wasn't enough, he could still see the reflection. He began to pound his first into the mirror until he was punching the wall and the mirror pieces were on the floor "Jack are you ok?" he heard from the doorway and turned to see Jeanie leaning into the room.
"Don't touch me," he growled and backed away.
"What are you talking about?" she asked walking towards him.
"Don't come near me," he muttered again but she reached out to him making him put all of his efforts into trying to punch her but unfortunately his hands were weak and bleeding from shattering the mirror.
She managed to control his hands and shove him against the tiled wall "Mr. J!" he heard her shriek and opened his eyes to see Harley standing in front of him with a forming bruise on her cheek, surrounded by a smudge of blood "What wrong Mr. J?" she asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I'm fine," he murmured and tried to shove past her but she grabbed his wrist.
"Look at what you've done," she sighed and tried to make him sit down.
"I said I'm fine," he growled and pushed her away before walking back into the bedroom and laying down on his side of the bed facing away from her and letting his knuckles bleed into the sheets.
Harley was about to say something back but she decided to just lay down beside him facing his back, she didn't understand, he had been so happy since he managed to torture a few ears out of that Waller bitch and now it was almost like he was angry at her or even scared of her, she decided it would be best to leave it till morning and see how he felt then. She slowly drifted to sleep staring at his back through the dark.
When she woke up the next morning she found the bed to be empty, the only hint that Joker has been there was the dried patch of blood on the sheet. She sighed and got up to get dressed and ready. When she got downstairs to his club she managed to find him in the basement standing in front of his three victims, he turned his head slightly when he heard her close the door "Nice of you to join us, Harley," he said and turned back.
Harley looked over at the three tied to the chairs and even she almost gagged when she saw that all of the flesh that was originally on their thighs had been gnawed at and eaten away by the rats.
Her attention was turned back to the Joker when he began to speak to the hostages "Now this involves all of you," he began "Because you raped my Harley," he said pointing to Griggs "You let it happen," he pointed to Waller "And you made me watch it," he said finally pointing to the doctor "Now we have a couple of special guests here, bring 'em out Frost!" he yelled like a game show host and his loyal henchman dragged in three people with their hands and feet tied.
The first person the Joker revealed was the one in front of Griggs, it was a woman about the same age as him, she had tears running down her cheeks and she looked up at him "I thought you said you wouldn't do this again!" she sobbed "Am I really that bad?!" at this Harley realised that this must be Griggs' wife and mother of his children.
Griggs felt rage wash over him "Where are my kids?!" he demanded bravely.
Joker held out his hand to Jonny who gave him a small paper bag that had a large red stain on the bottom. He tipped it upside down on Griggs' lap and three fingers, four toes, three ears and one eyeball feel out of the bag "Those are the only parts of your children left," he said simply throwing the bag away as the woman sobbed over her children's remains "NOW guest number two!" he said walking to the one in front of the doctor, he lifted off the bag to reveal another woman who Harley thought must be his wife.
"Dan?" She asked confused "Why are you here?! What did you do?!"
Joker moved on quickly to the person in front was Waller to reveal…another woman? Harley was confused for a moment until Joker explained stroking the whimpering woman's face "Your beloved sister, the only thing that you ever really cared about," he sighed.
Waller looked away, trying to look like she didn't care but anyone could see through it.
"Now!" Joker began again but he could barely be heard over everyone's sobs "Shut up!" he roared and they all resorted to whimpering, three burly scary looking men walked into the room and stood behind the Joker "You are going to feel what I felt and then you are going to feel what Harley felt, these fine gentlemen," he said gesturing to the men "Are going to rape all of you!" he finished and grabbed Harley's wrist leading her out the room with Jonny behind them but not before yelling joyfully "Have fun!"
The club was in full swing upstairs and Joker took Harley into the private bar where her three loyal squad members were there waiting for them, she sat down next to Deadshot, she could barely look at her king after what he just did. Those were three innocent women and two innocent kids, she just stared at the floor as he went to the private bar, poured himself a drink and lit a cigarette.
Deadshot leaned towards Harley "You ok?"
"No, no I'm not," she glared at Joker.
"What," he asked puffing out a cloud of smoke.
"'What?' Really?" she yelled standing up "That was too far J!" she screamed.
"Too far, you can't go too far with those pieces of shit," he yelled back.
"So you let yourself turn into them?!" she asked.
"I'm doing this for you!"
"Are you, really?!" she asked frowning, "I think you're doing this for you!"
"Some of it is for me! You try to go through the torture those assholes performed on me, they brought back memories I'd rather forget, they exposed weaknesses, and hell, I'm going to make them pay for it!"
Harley felt so many emotions are once, that she became confused and ran out of the room and back to the penthouse, she was stuck between angry and sympathetic.
Two hours later, Harley still hadn't come back downstairs and Joker was still waiting in the lounge, the three men had since left, when Jonny came into the room "They done, sir," he said and went back to the basement, followed by Joker, when he got down there, everything was in the same place and no one was crying, they were all just laying or sitting emotionlessly. Joker quickly slit the throats of the three women, getting small sobs from their family member, he turned to Jonny "Let them go," he said without humor "I'm done here."
He left the basement, knowing that the three worthless live behind him wouldn't dare bother him again. When he got to the penthouse he sat down on the floor in the middle of the lounge before falling onto his back and staring at the ceiling, unmoving and he didn't laugh or even smile.
