Pink only gave her guide a side glance,Deciding that he has served his purpose she bubbled him up as well.
She ignored his fists punching the Pink bubble, as he struggled with no effect, as she turned her head to the rest of the bubbled men.
'Unless some of them suddenly awaken supernatural strength, then they aren't going anywhere; after all, even bullets shouldn't shatter my bubbles.'
'But just to make sure,' as Pink, she raised her hand, making the bubbles float higher and higher, until they reached the ceiling of the mall.
Once Pink felt confident that they should break a few bones if they broke out by some magical nonsense or outside help, she turned her head, forgetting about them, as she followed the direction of the laughter.
[The Joker ( (A/N): The crazy goat himself) POV.]
The Joker was bored, as he glanced at his subordinates looting around, while Harley kept trying on new jewellery.
'Where is bats?'
The Joker, after all, prepared a big surprise this time, big enough to have a real blast.
The Joker felt his grin grow larger, as he moved his head backward, as a pink hand with a pink shield broke through the pillar that he was standing beside.
The hand would have broken his jaw, or more, if he hadn't moved.
The Joker turned his head with a snap, as he glanced at two glowing diamond irises; instead of fear, his bloody lips just stretched into a huge, disturbing smile.
"Sorry, dear girl, but being dead… is such a buzzkill."
[Pink Diamond (Mc) POV.]
I pulled my hand back, as the pillar collapsed due to my shield cutting it in half from the middle.
'What, do clowns have plot armour now?' Pink felt slight frustration, as the Joker simply dodged what she believed was a finisher move.
'Fine, the hard way it is…..I think I prefer it anyway.' As her eyes shifted to see herself already surrounded by many men wearing clown masks with rifles, not that she paid any attention to them.
The only two that had her attention were Harley quinn, that was holding a giant hammer with a red smiley face on it.
'Talk about a choice of weapon…..Hmmm, Harley isn't as hopeless as her pudding; after all, she did break off with him in some shows…and besides, I remember her saving the world once, and I would rather not risk a bet if this earth would need her or not.'
And of course, the Clown himself, who had a raised eyebrow with that wide, disturbing smile, as he glanced at her diamond before looking up at her face.
"Now, now, what do we have here? I didn't expect a side show before bats arrive …Not that I am complaining, mind you, but why so serious?"
Before the Clown had a chance to continue his classic monologue, Lion roar came from behind, as pink rings of energy smashed into the men.
Pink, seeing it, rushed at the nearest beside her; she didn't use her sword, she used her shield against the bullets, and when she was close enough, she bubbled them as they struggled, trying to break through hopelessly.
Harley was after Lion, who simply kept entering a portal after a portal, as she ran after him, just to come out of the portal to find Lion's head sticking from another portal, looking at her with a smug look, which only made her chase him harder.
As Pink bubbled another man, she stopped, as she saw the Joker holding a gun to some random man's face.
"Now, dear, why don't you stop that…after all, I would rather not blow the joke on you before the main show arrives."
But Pink simply stopped, while her grip was on the throat of some poor man, as his legs were dangling in the air, as she stared at him for a very long minute before, unnoticed by even herself, her face showed a cruel smile.
"Joker, you think this is funny?"
"Hmmm?" The joker head turned to a disturbing angle, as he looked at her.
"What can I say?… Comedy is subjective."
'Yeah, he is as twisted as I expected. But I already checked…There are no cameras here, too bad for you, Clown.'
"Do you think I am a hero? If you shoot that man, then it's your mistake; why should I care?"
"You already killed a hundred or so in your little joke; what is one more?"
"Shoot him, and then there will be nothing to stop me from breaking all your bones like that pathetic organic creature you are …."
Pink's hand grabbed the man's neck beside her, as he drifted to the dream world from the lack of oxygen, as she turned to face the Joker and the terrified hostage at the same time.
"Then I will keep fixing and breaking your body, until I am sure you are paralysed."
"And even if you told everyone, it would be the word of a clown against mine …After all, getting emotional and using too much force, after the many humans I saw you end with that gas, is reasonable, isn't it?"
'Of course I am bluffing…maybe,' as she tried not to look as Lion, that had teleported Harley somewhere across the earth, was now sneaking on the Joker from behind.
'Where did he send Harley?' To be honest, she did not care; after all, that woman has serious problems, she could use a time off from Gotham and her pudding.
Instead of answering, the Joker's grin grew wider, as in the last second he moved to the side, while kicking the man towards lion, while placing a bullet to the chest before he went running.
Pink cursed under her breath, as she bolted toward the man and threw a bottle of tears on his head.
But she didn't notice a small grin forming on the hostage's face, as he healed up.
She told Lion to watch the hostage, and then she gave chase, the ground cracking under her super strength, as she pushed her light form to move faster.
Pink felt like she was a train at that moment, as she broke through a few walls while running in a straight line.
When she arrived on a staircase, preparing to give chase, she heard a small ringing noise and, the next second, a booming sound, as some sort of trap activated.
The explosion broke the staircase into rubble, while smoke covered the area with falling debris.
The only thing that broke through the dark smoke was the flash of pink light in a diamond shape.
And two diamond irises that were filled with annoyance.
Pink thrust her hands forward, as they sank into the concrete and started climbing.
(A few minutes later)
A Pink fist broke through the rooftop of the mall, as the arm moved to the sides to bring the rest of Pink body to the surface.
The Joker simply stood on the side of a helicopter, as it prepared for take off, there watching with an amused grin on his face, as Pink form, slightly covered in dubris, came to view.
"You were never meant to be the main character today, dear, but since you so sincerely wished for the main act, then fine…"
"Everyone has a breaking point, dear; I wonder what yours is. AHAHAHAHAHAH…"
As his mad laughter stopped for a second, saying, "Just for you, I changed my mind; I will just skip to the punchline."
As his left hand held a remote with a red button, he pressed it while the helicopter started taking off.
Pink was preparing to jump and catch the helicopter, but the Joker's next words sent a sense of dread down her spine: "I think you are rather fond of your Lion, aren't you?"
In the next second, hundreds of explosions took place, one after the other, as the entire mall started collapsing.
Pink's last view, as the ground beneath her collapsed and she bubbled herself, was a terrifying smile on the Joker's face as he waved his hand at her.
(Some unknown time later)
As the rescue operations were underway, the casualty rate was terrifying; those who weren't already dead by the gas were paralysed before being buried alive.
The rescuers were surprised to find a number of the criminals responsible for the incident surrounded by Pink bubbles; since they couldn't break the bubble, police officers at the location simply monitored them, placing two men to guard each bubble.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking, as a small earthquake spread through a part of Gotham.
It wasn't much, but it caused some minor damage across the city, while those at the mall ruins all fell to the ground, while trying to stabilize themselves.
The next second, a huge part of the ruins was simply shattered, as smoke filled the area.
When the dust settled, Pink figure came into view.
Pink light form wasn't harmed, except few dirt and debris clinging to her, while her diamond was flashing with lights, as her chest heaved, taking breaths, not because Pink needed it, but because of the anger she was in, while her two hand surrounded by transparent spheres of vibrations.
'I could have brought that helicopter down from the sky with my fruit, but I couldn't because of those fragile organic and their cities!'
Finally seeing her surroundings, she forced herself to calm down, as she ignored the many looks of recognition and shock across the crowd.
She walked to a huge boulder and lifted it, moving it to the side, as she picked up her sword and stored it in her diamond.
'That stupid Lion better have teleported to safety, or I swear I will cut his tail off!'
As she was about to look for her friend and maybe even help out if possible.
'I can't believe I fell for the classic villain bomb move….Maybe I should have ambushed him instead of charging in like a bull.'
Pink felt her smile become strained, as she looked around.
'This looks really bad ….Note to self: never underestimate the clown plot armour from now.'
"Lion is probably fine; after all, he isn't normal, he can teleport, and even if he is buried, I doubt it could harm him much," Pink muttered under her breath, although her diamond kept flashing with low pink light in worry.
Pink threw a pink bottle at a doctor who was close, as she said, "save everyone and do whatever you want with the rest; I couldn't care less."
Pink prepared to start digging Lion out if he was still buried, but froze, while her diamond started flashing with increasing frequency
You all expected Pink to win with ease huh? She would have if she didn't underestimate the joker and fall for the classic bomb move ….so Jokes on you everyone but my Mc will succeed and fail so in the future don't think pink will just win because the plot demands it
For I have no mercy….although the one who truly won isn't decided yet hehe let's just say….The joker isn't getting out of this mess just yet…and a small hint to the next chapter…..The plot is about to thicken!.
