Chapter 1: After the Joker's Dead
"Alfred, can you come over here,
please?"
"Yes, Master Bruce, what is it
sir?"
"You know that I've recently
defeated the Joker, right?"
"Of course, sir. I don't think there's a person in the world who doesn't."
"Then explain to me something Alfred, why do I think that he's not dead?
Bruce Wayne, now a peaceful man sitting at home without a thing to worry about, no problems at Wayne Industries, no problems with his love life (He's currently dating Vicky Vale), and there hasn't been any problems in Gotham for a while. His alter ego (Batman) has a solid reputation for being Gotham's best hero. Plus, has recently defeated the Joker, and now he has not a thing to worry about. Yet something still bothers him. How could the Joker Die so easy?
" I mean I know he's gone for ever, but to think that the joker could just die from falling off of a clock tower? I've given him more tougher and more complicated situations than that. It's like he was totally unprepared."
"Well that's probably the reason why, sir. May I do say that you now need a brake, Master Bruce. Please. The Joker has finally been lifted off of your back. Take this time to relax and calm yourself. Now, Ms.Vale will be arriving shortly for the special night you have invited her for. I suggest you get ready."
" Yeah, Alfred. I'll be coming down in a sec." He was about to get up, just as he took his last look on the bat computer showing the headline news about Joker's death
"What Happened that day?…."
He walked out of the Batcave, still pondering on that night…
1 Week Earlier…" Oh, come on now, Ms.Vale, Being in a relationship with me isn't so bad. I mean look at the promises you'll receive, a shit-load of everlasting fun, the city will be ours to torture, and I'll be your credit card!" said Joker. He and Vicky were on the top of Gotham's clock tower.
" Seriously, baby, what do you see in the Bat? He's a vigilante. No one can trust vigilantes. They're masked-freaks that go wrong in the head!"
" Well that seems to fit you perfectly. Let me go you psycho!" yelled Vicky. She was tied to a pole with ropes on her wrists, waist, and ankles.
" Why did you have to tie me up everywhere? The hands hurt enough."
" I know, darling, I know. But that's the price for being on the Batman's side. You get to be bait. The little Batty-watty knows, I have you, So it's obvious that he'll-"
" Come after you?"
Batman was standing in the archway in front of the stairs, completely soaked. Joker had left a funny for him on the bottom of the stairs.
" Oooh, Loook..It's the Batman, and he wooks so vewy angwy, 'Momma, da Badman's gonna hut me!', Ha Ha Ha Ha, I guess my little prank worked."
" Let Vicky go, Joker. You need help."
" Ahhhhhh, go soak your head! But wait- You Already Did! HA HA HA HA HA HA !"
" What are you planning to do with Vicky!"
" Well, I've already used her as bait, oh yes! Know I have to tell you that even if you do kill me, it's gonna take for ever to get little miss perfect off the pole because each of those cleverly-knotted ropes are stronger than steel. Here, feel 'em!"
WHAM! Joker swung a rope at Batman and sent him flying. Joker walked over swinging the rope, and laughing sinisterly.
" HA HA, Oh and let me tell ya, Batty, After I kill you, Ms.Vale and I are going to have a little fun, if ya know what I mean!"
BOOM! Apparently, Batman's Platinum Knuckles also sent Joker flying. Joker was now hanging for his life on the edge of the tower.
" I see you need help. Here." Batman handed a hand.
" No way, NO! I ain't gonna give my hand and be in debt to my enemy! NO WAY! That's NOT how I roll!"
" OK, but just so you know, here are your choices. Being indebted to me, or being friends with ol' cement down there." Joker looked down. It was a long drop.
" Geez, I hate it when I don't win." All of the sudden, thunder struck upon the tower's top.
GRGRGRGRRRGGGGRRRGG…there was a rock slide on the tower. One of the big sized rocks was aiming towards Batman and Joker. The rock hit, and the Joker fell off the edge. The Joker was dead.
A Couple of Minutes Later…
" He..he..he..he.." Batman had successfully dodged all of the rocks coming towards him. There was one priority left. He had to get Vicky out of here.
" Are you all right?" he called towards Vicky.
" Besides the fact that I'm tied to a pole, yeah I'm fine!"
" Good. Let's get you outta here."
Wow. My first chapter, and it's bigger than any of the essays I do in school. Please review!
