Hello, reader! I'm happy to present to you this really weird dream that I had and elaborated on! First of all, I don't own Batman, Joker, or any of the BatFamily except for ItBat's character, who is one of my close friends and really owns herself, I guess. There aren't any zombies in this, by the way. I intended the title for it literally being they are the last ones. I might write another story later with zombies, let me know in the review if you want that.
That aside, I feel the need to elaborate on my two OCs. The first one, whose name you don't learn until the end, commonly known as Jokey, Queenie, etc., was me in the dream. Joker just picks her up because she's one of the only people he can find. The second one, ItBat, was a huge Batman fan before the population of the Earth disappeared, and now that she's part of the BatFamily, she's pretty excited. Batman found her. She's very protective of all the kids, especially baby Timmy.
The BatFamily kids' ages have been scrambled somehow, and there really is no explanation for this. It just puts a new twist on the Family's life.
Thanks for reading, and please leave me a review! –SevvyGirl
The Last of Us (Batman Edition)
Chapter 1: Trouble in the City
I stand with Joker in an unfinished building that he's turned into his HQ. Down below are Batman, baby Timmy, 8 year old Damian and 9 year old Babs, 12 year old Jason, 10 year old Dick, ItBat, and Batman himself, just walking around and playing.
"What are you doing?" I ask as Joker fiddles with a remote control. "That's not a detonator, is it?"
"No. It's a remote control, can't you tell?"
"Um, aren't you a little old to be playing with toy cars?"
"Look over there, what do you see?" Joker asks, snapping the back panel in place.
"The BatFamily and a ruined post-apocalyptic city. Jason is alone over there under that tree…hey, what's Damian doing on that backhoe?"
"Perfect timing!" Joker laughs and fiddles with the controls as Bats and the others go to stop Damian from getting hurt.
The backhoe suddenly roars to life.
"What are you doing?!" I shriek at Joker. "Don't hurt them! We're the last people on Earth!"
"I'm not going to hurt them…fatally," he cackles and swings the claw of the machine around, but Batman epically dodges and jumps onto the tractor. It continues to swing in circles, its treads leaving deep marks in the soft ground of the construction site which we're in the top of.
I watch the scene play out, and it is kind of comical, until finally Batman rips the wiring out of the machine and it turns lifeless.
"Aww, party's over," Joker sighs, tossing the remote to the floor and pouting.
"You know, if you would quit trying to torture them, maybe they'd be nicer to us both."
"You guys are on good enough terms. I wouldn't want to lose you completely to their side."
"All I'm saying is, the rest of the world has vanished. We're the only people left. We might as well get along."
"Are you flirting with me?" he giggles.
Irritated, I turn and say, "Forget it. I'm going down to see them."
"Make sure you suck-up to the Bat and get in his good graces, Two-Face."
"Two-Face? Really? That's immature. We're Jokers."
"I'm sorry, Jokey. I'll come with you."
I roll my eyes at the unoriginal nickname and leave without waiting for him to catch up.
"Are you guys OK?" I ask Bats and ItBat.
"Did the Joker do that?" Bats growls, literally. ItBat has her arms crossed and is staring around angrily.
I nod. "Yeah, he's an idiot."
"Obviously," ItBat snaps as the Joker comes near. "I'm going to rip his throat out!"
"ItBat. Control yourself," Batman tells her. "I'm going to rip his throat out," he snarls and marches up to the skipping Joker and grabs his throat. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"
"Relax, Bats, I had the whole thing under control. Nobody got hurt," Joker shrugs and Batman throws him ten feet into a pile of sand.
I abandon Joker for the BatFamily for a while, even though they're pretty cautious around me because of my association with the Joker. The do let me in on their plan though. Batman and ItBat have been ciphering gas out of cars lately, and managed to get a large black van to run. They're planning to leave Gotham.
"We don't want Joker to come, but you, SheJoker, we'll let you come if you want. You've never done us any harm."
I look down. "I want to…but I can't just leave Mr. J here. With Harley gone, he'll die within the week."
"I think you're underestimating him; he likes to come off as weak, but he's not. I assure you, if you leave him, he'll be fine with blowing up the city until the explosives are all gone."
"He took me in when this," I say, gesturing around me, "happened. I can't leave him when he needs me the most."
Batman shrugs and Joker bounds into the firelight and grabs me in a hug. "My loyal Jokey! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
"Oh no, HE'S here," Jason says and walks off grumpily.
"Please let me come with you," Joker asks politely, still suffocating me.
"NO," Jason, Batman, and ItBat say at the same time.
"Joker, let me go, can't breathe," I wheeze, but he ignores me. "Joker…joker…JACK," I finally grunt and he lets me go. "Don't call me that!"
"Don't strangle me."
"Jack?" Batman questions.
"Uh…like Laughing Jack, the Creepypasta," I lie. Joker would not be pleased if Batman found out his identity through me.
ItBat narrows her eyes at me and I look away.
"Bedtime!" Batman announces and Joker disappears into the darkness. I stay with the Batfamily.
