A change of venue

[ha_in_havoc]

It was time to move. Eddie was out of Arkham and, no doubt, working to hunt down his favorite doctor. The clever little bastard was bound to find the hideout sooner or later. The Joker would rather it be sooner and be able to plan, than have later be a surprise...so he stepped up the timetable himself

Luke has settled with only minor fuss into the role of captive doctor. He's not happy about the whole mess, but he's practical enough to know that until he's found, or sees an opening for escape (or is killed -- always, he knows, a distinct possibility) he's stuck being dragged around by the lunatic. And that's all there is to it.

It was interesting to learn that Harley was taken too, and the Joker's stated reasons (or lack thereof) why. And the possible real reasons. Very interesting. Talking to the girl herself, and watching the two of them interact, has the possibility of being the same.

"Dr. Quinzel," he greets her, as he's nudged into the van, and sits. At the Joker's remark, his attention shifts. "Do you even -- have you ever had a license?"

Not that he's nervous, of course. Or has any kind of fear of machinery controlled by people who aren't him. Not at all.

"Dr McCoy," she greets back, and glances at the Joker in the front seat. All this time in the Joker's...camp, so to speak, and the most she really wants to do is get back to Pamela. Getting closer to the Joker feels almost secondary, and she doesn't really understand why.

And part of her doesn't want it to feel secondary. It's a very confusing time. "Where are we going?" As if the Joker would tell her. At all. As if anyone would.

Part of her really, really does not want to be here. Maybe she needs a crazy tuneup.

The clown cackles loudly at Dr. McCoy's questioning. And here he thought the problem was just planes. Good to know it extends to any instance where the doctor is not in control of his own safety.
"Don't worry, doc, I know what I'm doing."
No. No he has not ever had a license. Why should that matter?

He had hoped, with time, Harley would want to be here. He'd hoped that clingy attachment she has would just transfer to whatever focus was made most available. It may get very ugly if she won't give up Pam on her own. Once she does, though, there's no guarantee the Joker will still want her around.
"I..ah..just thought we could use a change of scenery. Besides, I suspect this place is due to be flooded with uninvited house guests."

"I've heard that one before," Luke mutters unhappily. This is going to be an exceedingly unpleasant ride, even if no more words are said. (Which isn't going to happen, anyway.)

"You alright?" he asks Harleen, rather than address the 'reason' for their moving. (That -- there are people tracking him down? -- isn't something Johnny needs to be reminded of the urgency of.)
