I wished you never returned to Gotham. I had hoped you'd find someone and settle down.

The wish I had dreamed about for years replayed in my mind as I saw the man I had cared for as a son finally sitting just across the café from me. Gone now was mournful ache of failure in my heart, Bruce was safe and happy like I promised. As a waiter came with menus to his table, I smiled and nodded at him. Without taking his gaze from me, he took his menu and smiled in return before turning his attention to his lady companion.

I sipped my Fernet Branca slowly, and watched him as he laughed and talked with her. Hearing that laugh again after all these years filled me with joy. Life seemed to be turning out well for him at last.

The liquor burned my throat as I watched him open his menu and as his smile dropped. He stood up, kissed his lady, and walked out of the café. As he strode out, I caught a glimpse of a playing card in his hand.

My heart fell and dread consumed me.

It was a joker.


In a building overlooking the café, a waiter laughed heartily.

"You didn't think you could retire, did you Batsy? You are mine."
