It was particularly dark and stormy on this night in Gotham City, a place where it seemed the sun never shined. There wasn't very much light illuminating from buildings, very odd for a city that never sleeps. All was quiet, until in the middle of the city, sirens began to blare.
"It seems the Joker has escaped again Bruce."
exclaimed Barbara Gordon (Oracle) who was sitting in her wheelchair, she was wearing a grey dress, her hair in a bun so as not to distract from her work, yet one bundled strand of hair always managed to rest gently against her forehead.
"I just sent him in two days ago, I can't deal with him right now, I'm doing an appearance at a charity for the physically disabled and mentally disabled, he's just going to go to Harley and think of some great scheme that I will eventually stop and send him back." said Bruce Wayne (Batman) who was practically yelling trying to talk over the announcers.
"If you say so Bruce, I... I... just don't want him to hurt another... She paused recounting the moment when she was paralyzed by the Joker, he had a gun pointed at her, as she opened her front door, she wondered who the stranger could be, unable to see him in the dark, he stepped out of the shadows. She saw his face and felt a sharp pain in her stomach as well as her back, she quickly fell onto the floor. The Joker stood Grinning as the smoke still barreled out of his gun. the bullet traveled through her abdomen, shattering her spine, paralyzing her below the waist. Even though she was crippled, she never stopped being a hero, she quickly focused on her computer monitor as the Grin of Joker vanished from her mind.
"I know Oracle, (Batman always felt regretful for not killing the Joker years ago, he just couldn't kill, if he killed one, what would stop him from killing them all, then what would happen when there were no more villains?) If he tries anything dangerous, alert me okay, Barbra."
The Joker, Dangerous, oh yeah I'll tell you when it does happen."
"Goodbye Barbra."
"Goodbye Bruce."
She put her head in her hands and began to cry,
"Why did he have to... I just... If only I didn't answer the door."
A buzzing noise began to signal on the computer monitor, it was the tracker Batman had put on the Joker years ago, to keep an eye on him, it only signals when The Joker is leaving the city limits of Gotham.
"Where is he headed to?" said Barbara with a puzzled look on her face.
The weather was very different in Jump city, it was shinning from the light of the sun, there were no clouds in sight. The T - tower stood erect on its small island in the middle of the ocean, the golden gate bridge glistened in the distance. Sounds of grunts and short bursts of breath came from the training room. Robin was doing his usual two hour training sessions, he started early this morning after waking up from Beastboys screaming, Robin woke up quickly and had forgotten to put on his costume while training, he started to lift weights in his boxers, he still had on his trademark domino mask, which never left his face. Beastboy was asleep in his room shape shifting uncontrollably, it seemed as if he was fighting someone, he eventually turned into an elephant and he broke his bed. Robin walked into Beastboys room who was still screaming, Robin yelled over him
"Beastie boy what are you screaming at!"
