"Joker."

"Hey! You remember me!" he yelled, "I'm so… touched"

And then he laughed. That terrible, terrible laugh. It runs chills down your spine, and gives even the most courageous a small shiver.

"What do you want, Joker?" I tried to keep my voice as steady as possible.

"Oh, haven't we gone over this already?" he said with dramatized boredom, "I've already told you! I want this world to see things the way I do: life is a joke, and it's meant to be lived with a big SMILE on your face!"

After stepping into the light, he traced the contours of his smile with his fingers.

Was it just me? Or did Joker look really beat up? His usually white skin looked even paler, his bright red lips and neon green hair losing color, and becoming a duller shade of what once was there. Like a spirit who is not able to let go of his body, but being trapped within by fear or hate for what lied ahead.

All of a sudden, Harley Quinn walked out of the pitch black as well. "Well, well, well, look who it is! The boy blunder himself, come back for more, little man?"

I remember the first time I had fought her, she beat me to a pulp. That crazy bitch always has something up her sleeve.

"I'm only gonna ask one more time!" I yelled, my voice shaky, "WHERE IS HE?"

My yell echoed off the walls of the cave, and you could hear startled bats fly away into the distance.

"No need to shout, Robin! No one is gonna hear you anyway!" Joker screamed, and let out a long horrific giggle afterwards.

"The name isn't Robin, it's Nightwing." I said confidently.

"Oh, how sweet, gone solo have we?" Harley said.

All of a sudden, I look down at my arm, and realized that I'm covered in red dots. Then, as I look up to see where they are coming from, the lights come on, and all around me are Joker's henchman, all with sniper rifles.

"There's no one to help you now little boy," said Joker menacingly.

Then, my wrist pops a Wing-Ding from out of my sleeve compartment and into my hand.

Then I speak, "Two things. One, I am far from a little boy. And two, you're not the only one with something up your sleeve."
