They arrived back at the saloon now. Joker took her down from the horse and carried her in his arms, through the back door and up the stairs.

"What you're feeling is completely natural, honey. You've been through a trauma. But I'm here, I will try to comfort you in any way I can."

"...I-I dont ever wanna see him again. He's the devil. He's from hell," she shivered.

Joker undressed her again and put on her nightdress "I will protect you my love, I swear."

He then snuggled close to her in bed.

She laid next to him and held his hand. He held it tight and she then closed her eyes, "I love you..."

"I love you too honey." he kissed her forehead gently.

She smiled in her sleep and snuggled closer. He watched over her sleep and held her close in her sleep.

Soon morning came and he woke up. She woke up once he kissed her forehead. She smiled at him.

Jonah came to the saloon, but saw Joker wasn't around.

"Oh, hello, Jonah." Gary smiled slightly.

"Where's the Ranger?"

"Oh Joker? He's busy. He went on a date last night and is kinda tired. I advise not to wake him up."

"Well he better wake up now, he's real girl came into town!"

"Real...g-girl?" Gary shivered.

"Oh no no!" Jackson overheard ans knew what he meant, "honestly, she isn't his girl! Its her from El Paso, is it!?"

"That Sophie girl." Jonah replied.

"She is not Joker's girl!"

"Oh yeah? That kid of hers, is his kid!" Jonah said.

"Stop the rumors, Jonah, we are tired of people lying about Joker, Sophie, and the kid as if there was a thing that happened to them to have a kid! It never happened!" Jackson yelled.

"It never happened? NEVER HAPPENED!?" Jonah yelled at Jackson. He lunged at him and soon the whole saloon was in a fight. Gary jumped and hid behind the bar counter.

By this time, Joker and Sarah weren't at the saloon, Joker took Sarah back to Bruce and Alfred's, but when he came back, the fight was still going on. He noticed Jessie and Gary hiding behind the counter of the bar.

He growled and shot his gun in the air making all the drunken men to stop fighting. "Who started this!?"

Everyone pointed at Jackson. He had a bloody nose and broken jaw. Jackson shook his head and pointed at Jonah.

"This sick son of—"

"JONAH!" Joker yelled at him, "mind telling me what the meaning of this is about?"

"You. Its about you, and that girl of yours back in El Paso."

Joker froze.

"Thats right, before the Wayne's were killed by those da** Indians, she told the whole town about your girl, a dancer and that you got her pregnant!"

"Its a da** lie!" Jackson yelled, "he just had a crush on her!"

"They never even kiss!" Jessie yelled behind the counter.

"Then how do you think she had that little girl!?" Jonah snapped.

"Shes a harlot! Like some of the dancers here. She does it for money." Jessie said, but Gary kicked him.

"Don't say that word! Its not appropriate for a boy your age!"

"First of all.....I don't appreciate you calling her a harlot" Joker said in a calm voice, which sometimes meant trouble. If he sounded eerily calm he was often very mad "she's a dancer but she's never done anything extra for cash!! Not every dancing girl does that, you ignorant sh*t head!! And secondly, I don't see how it's any of your d*mn business!! Now get out of here, you're fired!!"

Everyone walked out ans Jackson slowly walked out with Gary and Jessie.

"Jessie, run and fetch the doc, he needs to take a look at Jackson" Joker leaned on the bar "Gary, pour me a scotch would you? I think I need it."

"We're not...fired?" They all asked.

"Of course not. I fired Jonah for being a trouble maker. Plus he's always spreading rumors about me. I'm done with him."

"Well...he never worked here. He works at the mill," Gary said.

"He works at the stables too. Murray used to pay him to stable horses for customers here. I'm not gonna keep paying him a wage when he disrespects me like that" Joker said, downing his whiskey.

"Hes just jealous, mate."

Joker nodded as he stared down at the bar, deep in thought "why do you think she's here, Gary? Do you think she's..... looking for me?"

"Miss Sophie? Maybe..."

"I hope she's alright and not in some kind of trouble."

"Like...what?"

He shrugged, "I dunno. maybe GiGi's father showed up. He was always trouble. He was jealous of me being protective of them."

"So...Sophie wasn't your first? Because I thought it was her...because you told everyone you and Harley never slept together...," Gary said, "you said someone was, before Sarah. But you never told me who."

"Does it matter who it was? " he sighed "it wasn't Harley or Sophie....Sophie's different, we never even really did anything."

Gary sighed, "it cant be Ivy then..."

"What makes you think that?" he asked, lighting up a cigarette.

"...well before Miss Sarah left to her home that day you saved her from the Indians, she told me what you said to Harley infront of Sarah. You slept a couple of times with Ivy."

"Okay, so it was Ivy. It was a mistake, I know that now. But.....it just happened. It's in the past now"

"...how it happened?"

"how? Seriously?" he laughed slightly and covered his face "too much liquor I guess. We were in a argument about something. It got bad that we started making out...and then it just happened."

Gary was in shock.

".....she was making fun of me, kinda, you know how Ivy is, saying how I have a tough reputation but actually wasn't a real man....I guess it was my way of proving that I am..." he shrugged "the other times....I guess she enjoyed it and wanted more, and I was lonely so I just went with it."

"Now She completely doesn't like you near her..."

"She's close with Harley and we know how Harley used to be obsessed with me. Maybe she was worried how Harley would react."

"Surely not that close...was she?"

Joker shook his head, "no...atleast...I don't think so..."

"They could be hang if they did...," Gary whispered.

Joker nodded, "well, I guess it's their business. Tho it doesn't exactly make me feel great....you know, like maybe I turned her...."

"...mate, Ivy has been the stubborn woman she has ever been even when...you left...as the old you. You did nothing wrong. I believe she just hates men in general. I am a bit concern for Miss Sarah though. What I mean is...she is a pretty girl and...most of the dancers here...they go...both ways I've heard from their conversations...," Gary said, looking really concerned.

Joker frowned, "any of them dares try anything with her, I'll turn them over to the law. But I will speak to Ivy. Obviously not Harley. She hates Sarah and me."

"Harley could do anything to make you hers...its possible. Speaking of Harley I haven't seen her since she went with you and Ivy to save Miss Sarah. You think she's still with the Indians?"

"Probably. I think she's probably close to their chief, he wanted Sarah and Harley hates me.... they're a perfect match of insane and evil."

"Well, you could also ban her since she did you wrong." Gary suggested and chuckled.

"I will think about it, buddy." Joker smiled and patted Gary on his head.

Meanwhile, Joker and Gary walked around in town. Joker wanted to see Sophie even though he was not sure if he should.

Suddenly he saw Sarah with Bruce. But then he heard someone call his name from behind, "Jo?"

He turned and froze in fear seeing it was Sophie with her daughter Gigi.

Sarah and Bruce were coming towards him and Gary. He didn't know what was wring with him. He was shaking. "Gary, do something! Pull them off!" He then ran away from the girls and Bruce.

"But I...," Gary stood there standing between the girls and Bruce now, "hello, ladies, fancy weekend, huh?"

"Why is Joker leaving?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, I wanted to speak to Jo," Sophie said, "he owns me money for little Gigi here."

Sarah froze. "I see, you must his ex girlfriend from El Paso?"

"Ex? Sweetheart, I wish. But he's too sweet to leave me. When I heard Jo went back to my hometown, I just had to see it for myself. I bet he missed me."

"Uh actually, miss...he...," Gary couldn't speak once he turned to Sophie. He never seen a beautiful woman until now. "Uh...uh...uh..."

"And I assume that little girl of yours is Joker's too?" Sarah frowned.

Gary shook his head.

"Why yes she is," Sophie lied. "Ain't she cute. Just like her clown daddy. Bet your kids won't be cute as mine and Jo's. We will have more once we are married."

"M-married?"

Gary kept shaking his head.

"Yes he purposed to me before he came to Gotham." She showed her ring to Sarah and Bruce.

"Miss Sophie," Gary blushed putting her hand down, "please...you're gonna make yourself a show here. Look I will take you to my place to wait for Joker."

"Jo," she corrected him.

"Jo...right."

"Why not the saloon?"

"Well, uh...it had a big mess and needs to be cleaned up, so another time," Gary took her hand and led her to his house.

Bruce turned to Sarah worried about his cousin.

"Aunt...Martha...she was right...," Sarah teared up, "and last night we...oh no...why did I fell for his stupid trap!!!" She cried and ran back Bruce's place.

"Sarah! Wait!" Bruce cried to his cousin and chased after her.
