Sarah came home and was shaken up. What happened was the supporters of Joker went crazy, they were at the Blackgate and wanted to kill The Joker for Joker.

Arthur and Mr Gold were sat playing chess when Sarah came in with Jessie.

"What happened?" Gold asked and they both jumped up and went to her

"Did someone upset you?" Arthur asked

"...Your supporters..."

"What about them, what have they done?" Arthur asked, concerned.

"...they are mad the trial is taking to long so they headed to Blackgate....," she paused shaking, "...they want to kill The Joker themselves...."

Arthur groaned and quickly grabbed his car keys, "leave it with me, I need to fix this" he then ran out. Sarah was worried and looked at Gold concerned.

"Papa...I hope he doesn't...kill The Joker, because they will take care of that."

Gold pulled her into a hug and comforted her, "I doubt he would. He will probably just talk to them."

Arthur drove as fast as he could over to Blackgate and once he arrived his supporters recognized his car and mobbed him as soon as he left the vehicle.

"Hey, HEY!!" he yelled as he climbed onto the roof of the car "Seattle down everyone! Y'all are gonna get me thrown back into jail when I've just been let out for the weekend for good behavior. Come on guys. I know you're pissed, so am I, but we have to wait this out. My girl deserves legal justice for what he did to her. If you kill him she won't get that, and the system will still blame it on me."

The supporters stopped, but then one used a megaphone and said, "He's a phony. A big phony!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Everyone then booed at the guy who yelled that.

"Who is? You talking to me? Because that's not going to hurt my feelings, dude. But you're lit a loyal supporter of you want to do something that'll land my a$$ back in jail!"

Jackson and Jessie then told the guy to leave. "If you're the real Joker you would kill him," he said.

"Booo!" All the supporters booed.

The supporters said they were sorry and just wanted him dead already. But they understand now.

Arthur was going to head back, but decided to go and see Harley. He wanted a piece of his mind.

While that was happening, Sarah took Courage out for a walk. Mr Gold thought she would be fine since maybe one of his goons was with her, but they weren't. One of The Joker's goons was spying on her and followed her. Suddenly Courage sensed someone was following them so he barked.

Sarah was scared now. That's when the goon came out and she backed up.

"Where do you think you're going? The Joker maybe locked up but you still can be held captive until we help him out."

Sarah picked up Courage and ran. The goon then chased after her and she got inside the house and closed the door. "Papa! PAPA!"

Mr Gold rushed in and she had her back against the door making sure the goon couldn't get in.

Gold frowned, "I've had about enough of this! The police aren't doing their job, and where are Arthur's goons when we need them?!" he growled angrily.

Meanwhile Arthur was waiting in the visiting room of the jail. When the door finally opened and Harley walked in with a guard. He then frowned at her.

"Puddin!? Oh you do...choose me?" She noticed his mad look.

"Harley, I wanna know why you want me so much? I think it's pretty clear we're not right for each other."

"Yes we are, puddin, I even support you so much. I would do anything for you....except leave you."

"But you can't make me love you and want to be with you, Harley. You lied in court about Sarah and the Joker, and you lied about us having sex 10 times a day! Why would you say that?"

"The Joker part is true. You will see the video...,but I said that part of us to scare her and upset her...," she looked down.

Arthur frowned, "I don't believe the video is true. If it is true, I'd be willing to get back with you, that's how certain I am that it's a fake!"

She smiled, "you will."

"Yes! That's how sure I am that it's BS!"

She then giggled.

Arthur then reached across the table and grabbed her by the hair, "you think this is funny!?"

"Heehee." She giggled, "You're so cute when you're angry Mr F~"

"Cute! You won't think I'm cute, Harley, if you keep pissing me off!!" he grabbed her shirt and shook her, "...I wish I'd never fallen for you!"

Harley then kissed him holding his face.

Arthur was in shock and froze up. He managed to break the kiss, but kept hold of her shirt, "why did you do that?!"

She smirked, "you obviously still love me. If you didn't you would've fight back. That's why I did it to see if you still love me and I am right."

"I didn't fight back because I was in shock, that's all! We're not the same, Harley. I'm a good person now. You don't really love me."

"Oh really, I bet you still wanna kill The Joker afterwards."

"...I...it doesn't matter what I want to do. I can't!! I have to be better. You wouldn't get it."

"I can be good for you~~~" she played with his hair.

Arthur shivered, but she pulled him closer to him and looked into his eyes, "I can be better for you~~~"

"......" he swallowed roughly and blushed "...I don't think you can. You seem to enjoy being bad."

"And you think you will be? Mr Fleck, she probably just loves you because you saved her not being you. She doesn't know you fully, she just knows you as Joker. I know you more since I was your therapist for a month."

"....right, and you fell in love with the real me? Pfft. If I stopped being Joker, you wouldn't want me, Harley."

"...maybe...maybe not~~~," she continued to play with his hair and smelled his scent against his neck.

".....so, what happened between you and the Joker? As if I need to ask."

"...he took no interest in me. I even flirted him, but he never noticed."

Arthur smirked, feeling disgusted, "I knew you'd try flirting with him. And he wouldn't have you, so you want me back.."

"...he was my first. I only helped him because I want you and he liked the idea. If I take you, Sarah would not be a bother around you," she nibbled his cheek.

"Sarah deserves to be happy. As a woman, don't you think that what those little girls suffered was wrong?! You have no reason to hate Sarah. She's never done anything to hurt you."

"Oh yes she did!" Harley growled, "She took the man I love away!"

"....." Arthur was going to argue, but then he realized that from her point of view, it would seem that way, "Harley, she didn't take me away. It was my fault. I fell for her."

"...why?" She started to tear up, "why would you do that!?"

"I didn't mean to, it just happened. I couldn't stop it. I'm sorry," he brushed her tears away, now feeling bad, "I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't think you really loved me. If there's anything I can do to prove I'm sorry, I'll do it."

"Dump her...dump her please. I want you. All I want is you, Mr Fleck~"

".....I can't dump her, I love her and....she needs me-" he stopped then, wondering.

Did Sarah really need him? He was beginning to feel like they weren't as close anymore. She went to church today with Jessie. She often turned to her father for comfort, not him. What if Harley was right? What if she only loved "Joker" because he rescued her?

Suddenly he got a text from Sarah it said "SOS."

Arthur quickly rushed to the door, "I have to go. I.....I'll come see you again, and we'll talk more then."

He then left, calling Jackson as he ran to his car, "Get to Sarah's place. There's trouble! I'm headed there now!"

"Already there boss and taken care of. Turns out someone send one of The Joker's goons to come after Sarah and her father."

"What?! Is Sarah okay? And Gold?"

"Mr Gold is healing himself. He was shot."

Arthur cussed and drove faster, "I'll be there in five minutes. I want some of the boys outside at all times now. F**k the police, they're no good at doing their job!"

Once the house, Arthur came and seen Sarah holding her arm. Mr Gold was nowhere But Jackson was by his den. Jessie was getting the first aid kit for Sarah's arm.

"Sarah!" Arthur ran to her and hugged her carefully, "you're hurt! Where's your old man?"

"...he's in his den...they shot him...in the face..." she teared up.

".....but he can heal himself, right?" he asked, worried.

"He's trying...I-I saw...his face...it's like a big hole...I'm surprised he was able to stand and walk to his den."

"Jackson, get doc here just in case....," Arthur called to Jackson. Jackson nodded and headed out. He then turned back to Sarah, "I'm so sorry, princess. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's so powerful, he healed your scars, I'm sure he can do this too."

"Where were you? Jessie and Jackson said you left right after you talked to your supporters."

"...there was something I felt I had to do...," he admitted, nervously.

"...you didn't kill him...did you?"

He shook his head, "no. No, honey, I wouldn't do that. Not now."

"...then where did...you go?" Sarah started to tear up.

"I went to give Harley a piece of my mind. I was mad at her for what she said in court."

The look he gave was no anger. He was calm. Too calm.

"So...did you? And how did she respond?"

"Yes. I told her she has no reason to be mad at you. You've never done anything to hurt her."

"...and how did she respond?"

Jessie looked over. He sensed Arthur was trying to hide something but also trying to tell whatever he was hiding.

".....she got upset. She wants me back. But I told her I love you, and that....you need me."

"...," Sarah teared up. She let go of her bleeding arm and wrapped her good arm around him and cried against his neck.

He held her tightly, "I love you so much.... I can't let you go. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed me. I promise it won't happen again."

She nodded and kissed his cheek. "It's alright, I'm not mad. I maybe crazy inlove with you, but...before we get married, I think we should know each other more. I know I am saying this at a bad time. But...I just want to say this before I forget again." She blushed. She wasn't wrong. She had forgotten to mentioned it. Mainly because she was so depressed all the time that she forgot about all the important people around her.

He smiled and nodded, "I'd like that. I want you to know me better than she ever did. And I want to know everything about you."

She blushed. "I am sorry I didn't ask you to drive me to the church this morning...I wanted you to sleep in...and plus I don't think my father would let me since he wasn't religious himself...I also just wanted you two to know each other...wait...how did you know he can heal...Jackson?"

"He told me."

"...and you're not weirded by it? He's very self conscious about that..."

"Princess, if he's not weirded out by a criminal clown dating his daughter, then I'm not going to be weirded out by your old man being a wizard."

"...well I told the pastor about him, and he's concerned..."

Arthur sighed, "yeah because he probably thinks that it's black magic and stuff. But we know your dad is a good man. That's all that matters."

"...I did tell him that, but I even said it's witchcraft. He's not mad he's just worried in the future it will betray him. All evil seem good at first until it consumes you and hurts you later down the road. I'm worried if he keeps using it even for good...it may not help him..."

Arthur thought about this and nodded, "I guess all we can do is wait and see. I mean, he's an adult so he's responsible for making his own choices. I just hope the priest doesn't expect him to become religious or anything like that."

"...well...I do want him to be with Belle. He wants to.... Would you want to be with me if I died...? You do believe me that I went to heaven did you?"

"Of course I believe you. And of course I'd want to be with you if anything bad happened to you....but, again, your dad isn't big into religion, and it has to be his choice, honey."

She looked down. "And It's more than just religion...it's a relationship with God. That's what the priest told me. I know dad doesn't think that because of him trying to find something to fill inside. I just hope somehow he will believe and make the choice...because Belle she wants him to. If he doesn't...she will forget him when he dies. He will be out of existence in her memories."

"That's really sad. Once the time is right, you'll have to speak to him about it, and- wait, does this mean you'll want me to have a relationship with God too? I mean, I'll do anything for you, princess. But I'm not sure God would want a relationship with me."

"...well the priest did ask me if can bring you to talk to him. But I can say Jesus told me-God's Son-that he loves you a lot. He the reason why I survived and had us meet because He knew you would be inspired by my bravery and survival. He wants you to know Him, Arthur. That's what he told me."

"...I-I will think about it, Sarah," he said and held her close. He then kissed her forehead. She looked up at him and held his hands. He smiled and nuzzled his nose against hers.

After awhile, nothing came from the den, so the doctor went in and found Mr Gold passed out on the desk.

"PAPA!!!" Sarah screamed. Her eyes widened in shock.

The doctor checked his pulse, "it's slow, I got to work on him quickly," he then laid him on the floor and quickly worked on him.

Arthur comforted Sarah while the doctor worked on Gold. He put him on an IV, and bandaged the wound on his face. It seemed Gold had mostly healed himself but it had taken a lot of his energy so he'd passed out from exhaustion.

Sarah noticed something his hand which the doctor even noticed. He jumped back once he opened his hand seeing it was a eyeball.

"Is that his eye?!" Jessie yelled, panicking.

Arthur covered his mouth and had to walk away, as the thought alone made him feel sick.

"I guess he was almost finished..." the doctor said.

"......." Arthur then stepped outside to get some air.

"Well get it finished, Doc!" Jackson said.

The doctor nodded and did so. Sarah went outside to look for Arthur.

"Are you okay, honey?" Arthur asked, pulling her into a hug, "he'll be fine. Doc is a great surgeon, he patched me up when I busted my ribs and lung. Your dad is in safe hands."

"I know...thank you." She hugged him back.

"You don't have to thank me, baby. You know I'd do anything for you and your old man," he kissed her forehead.

She blushed and kissed his cheek.

"I love you, my brave little princess," he rubbed his nose against hers.

"...oh, excuse me," Doc coughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to let you know that Mr Gold is now stable. He's resting and on strong pain medication, but I'm confident he'll make a full recovery."

"Thank you..."

Arthur shook his hand, "thanks, doc..."

Doc smiled, "you're welcome. I'll be on hand if you should need me."

Sarah then went into Mr Gold's bedroom where they took him while they fixed him up. She found him asleep on the bed and she looked worried. She walked over to him and held his hand. Mr Gold then slowly woke up.

He noticed her crying so he lift his hand up and brushed her cheek. She looked up and smiled seeing he was ok.

"What happened? I can't see out of my right eye..."

"You were shot, Papa."

"I-I know that," Mr Gold said, "but I was healing myself. Why still can't I see?"

"...your magic took most of your strength. And while you were healing...your eye was still...out..."

Mr Gold sighed and held up his hand to his eye, but she immediately stopped him.

"Papa! No!"

"I'm just gonna fix my sight, sweetheart."

"Papa! Don't! Has your magic take out your energy like this before?"

"...no. And I have almost died multiple times."

"Papa...I think you need to stop..."

"What? No you're being silly, dearie. I will be fine."

"Papa, listen to me. I think this magic could kill you if you keep using it," Sarah teared up.

Gold frowned slightly, which hurt him to do so, "why would you think that?"

"...well look, it almost hurt you..."

"I've been doing this for years. I know what I'm doing, Sarah."

Sarah looked at him worriedly, "I-I know, Papa, but-"

"I'm fine! Stop worrying about me, kiddo." He said.

Sarah sighed. She dropped her head and walked out crying.

"Sarah?"

She ignored him and went to her room.

Arthur heard this and went in to speak to Gold.

"She's just worried about you. It's really drained your strength trying to heal that injury."

Gold sighed "I know... but the magic won't kill me. Why is she suddenly worrying about that?"

Arthur shrugged, "the priest maybe. He believes it'll cause problems for you."

"He would say that," Gold growled, "he wouldn't understand. He'll just see it as black magic."

"Alright, Gold, don't get all worked up. Right now you need to rest, okay. Get your strength back."

Gold nodded, "yes. You're right, son. Just, make sure she's alright. I know she'll be worrying over me."

Arthur nodded and patted his shoulder.

Sarah was crying in her room until Arthur came in and comforted her.

"It'll be okay, princess. He's been through a lot. Once he's recovered he'll probably listen. He'd never intentionally upset you."

"I can't bare to to talk to him now...He won't listen..."

"He's had a long day, he's cranky, in pain, and not thinking straight. Just give him time, honey, and he'll listen. I know he will."

Sarah looked down in tears.

He gently held her face and brushed her tears away, "trust me, princess. Everything's gonna be alright."

Sarah gripped on him crying.

He held her and gently rocked her in his arms, trying to comfort her.

"He doesn't care for his own life anymore." She cried.

"...he will. Really honey, you just have to speak to him once he's had some rest," he tried to reassure her."

She finally calmed down and looked up at him.

He looked down at her and smiled slightly, "he'll be fine, princess. Trust me," he kissed her nose.

She then nuzzled her nose against his.

"You should get some rest, princess. You've had a long day too. Do you want me to tuck you in?"

"Please?" She begged with puppy eyes like he did with her.

He chuckled and picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. He laid her down carefully and tucked her in. He then sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down and kissed her cheek.

She then pulled him down and held onto him. "Don't leave me, please."

He chuckled and nodded, "okay princess, whatever you want," he lay beside her and held her close. She then snuggled close and fell asleep.
