I hope you like my story, I'll post the second chapter tomorrow! :) My first story on FF and my first batman fic! So, as they say *be gentle*
He had always been alone. Amongst all the chaos and anger, he was still alone. Sure, he had henchmen, accomplices, etc. Call them what you will, but you couldn't call them friends. The Joker? Have friends? The very idea was absurd! No, he didn't have friends. Of course not. Why would a man like him even need them? He preferred to work alone, though he needed the mindless cronies.
Despite it's name, chaos needed a little order, just to get it going. Lately though, he had felt a little... lonely. Maybe lonely wasn't the right word, he wondered. That would show weakness. He sighed, trying to accept it. Yes, he was lonely. Standing up from his current seat on the grimy windowsill, he dusted off his coat and set off for the warehouse he was currently using as his HQ. He surveyed the room before leaving. Blood pooled around the dead mobster's stomach, where he had been stabbed repeatedly. Ah, the pride of a job well done.
He slammed the door on the way out, trying to keep hold of some sanity. (Not that he had much left) He had thought murder was a good solution for loneliness, and of course it hadn't worked. Finally, he got back to the warehouse and observed. His men were disgusting. No, they weren't men, they were animals! Was this the sort of company a criminal was expected to keep?? He had probably said it a million times, but he was a better class of criminal! One of the men was talking about a young woman he had raped and killed earlier that week. Joker walked up and shot him in disgust. That was one thing he wouldn't do. What was Joker to do? Lonely, and surrounded by male chauvinist pigs! (He felt a little sympathy for those feminist's cause. A teensy little bit.)
He thought for a minute. And thought some more. Aha! Eureka! An idea! He hurried to his room, smeared another layer of greasepaint onto his face, and raked his fingers through greasy hair. He looked pretty damn good.
