When Batman went out that night, he had no idea what he was getting into. The stars were sparkling and the moon was bright. He could see all the rooftops in the distance. Bruce sighed under his mask. Secretly he hoped for something big. It was rather boring just flying around on his grappling hook and not seeing any action.
Little did he know what awaited him.
Somewhere near by, the Joker sat watching the Bat's every move.
"Oh Batsy, you make me tremble in anticipation."
The Joker's usual smiling face was replaced by a thoughtful, far away look. He imagined what he could do to the BATMAN. He wanted to play with him. He wanted to cut him. He wanted to burn him. He wanted to punch and kick and kiss...wait...kiss?... He wanted to watch those amazing amazing? blue eyes look up at him with real emotion. H wanted to touch those sensual sensual?!lips. He wanted to rip that tight leather right off the Bat's ass and stick his quivering memb...WAIT! What?! Im not even gay...am I?
A confused look came over the Joker's handsome features. He honestly didn't know. He had never really explored his sexuality before. He had always connected sexual release with cutting people. Now was different, though. From the first time he laid eyes on that masked crusader, Joker couldn't keep his mind off of him. He pegged it as the thrill of the chase and went on with his normal causing chaos and mayhem. But now, watching Batman kneel and inspect the city, Joker knew better. He had to get his Batsy alone to figure this out.
But first, he would torture him a little...
It had been two months since the Joker had broken out of solitary. How he did it no one knew. Its like he evaporated into thin air. Everything was still there...bed, table, toilet, books, even the straight jacket...but no Joker. They turned the place upside down to find any chance of a hole somewhere. Nothing. Which lead to a month-long investigation by the I.A. who still kept tabs on all of the employees.
Batman had watched all of this from a comfortable height on the roof. Now that he was a fugitive believed to kill atleast 5 "innocent" people, Batman couldnt just waltz right into the station and ask what the latest was. It didnt matter anyway. He was glad that Gordan could be such a success. Commissioner! Still he had to wonder when he could work with his friend again.
Bruce shook his head in frustation. He was distracted again. He was supposed to be listening to a board meeting. He still had Wayne Enterprises to deal with in between late-night brawls with the crooks of Gotham. He couldnt wait to get out there and find out information about the Joker. Finally, some real action! It had been too long since he had a really good challenge. Bruce knew he shouldn't be like that, but with the Joker, he couldn't help it. What did the great criminal mastermind have up his sleeve this time?
Finally, the meeting was over. Bruce didn't really know what happened but it was dark and he had a clown to catch so he sauntered off in the direction of the elevator to make his way to the parking garage. He had bought a new lamborghini since he crashed the last one saving the traitor Reese. Sometimes he wondered why he even bothered saving some of the people he saves. They don't appreciate him anyway. Still, he had to do it because who else would?
Bruce's thoughts shifted back to his upcoming mission. Arriving at his secret headquarters, Bruce went inside and greeted Alfred warmly.
"Hello Master Bruce. How was the dull day of a businessman?" Alfred knew well that Bruce prefered the life of Batman. The need of excitement had alway shown in those deep brown eyes even as a young boy. Rachel had seen it too. That is why she had decided to let Bruce carry on his romance with the black leather and gadgets instead.
"Boring. Any word on the Joker?" This was the ritual these days. Bruce would immediately shift the conversation to Joker. Alfred was beginning to wonder if he was infatuated with this Joker character. Maybe he was trying to put Rachel out of his mind by being constantly on the move.
Immediately going to the trick panel where he hid his suit, Bruce changed for the night. Saying a quick goodbye to Alfred, he sped off in his new Batpod ready for action from the Joker.
The Joker did not disappoint. Although, compared to the usual acts of the so-called madman, Batman was shocked about the lowkey pursuit he usually embarked in...
