How to Kill a Joker
Authors Notes I don't own any of the DC characters or the universe, if I did. I'd have some more alternate earths shown.
Chapter 3 offers and plans
The Luthor Manor
Lex had cried so much, he couldn't produce anymore tears. Part of him blamed himself for what happened to Lena. He could have hired private tutors for his daughter. But he wanted her to go to public school and make friends with children her own age.
He could have assigned more security to his daughter that could have kept her and the others who went on that field trip alive.
He looked at photos of him and Lena in her room and thought of her 6th birthday party just a few months ago.
Flashback Luthor Manor 6 months ago
Lex smiled as he watched Lena ran around with her young friends while he and other parents had some birthday cake.
Lex was happy to see Lena have such a good time with her friends from preschool and had a tear in his eye,
Lena ran to her father and hugged him as she asked "Why are you crying Daddy? Are you sad?"
Lex wiped away his tear and he kissed Lena on the forehead and said "These are happy tears. I'm so happy my little princess is having fun on her birthday."
Lena laughed as she hugged her father once more before going off to resume playing with her friends.
End of flashback
Lex put down the photo as he was done reminiscing and went to his study to get to work on his plan, to get revenge on Joker.
As he was about to get on the phone, a thought entered Lex's head. 'What if Lena's death is payback for my evil deeds in the past?' Lex didn't know what to say as he thought more and more about this.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door as a security guard entered the room with a package, the guard explained. "This was dropped off sir by a courier. He was told it's for your eyes only sir."
The guard put the package on the table and left as Lex saw the package was addressed to Baldy.
Lex opened the package and saw it contained a laptop with a disc with the words play me on the disc.
Lex did so as a video appeared on screen showing Joker, Harley Quinn and Joker's henchmen commit their massacre at the beach, they first started by killing the security detail watching the class from nearby before going onto the isolated beach and killing the teachers, before they went after the children, saving Lena for last.
Lex was filled with more anger and grief as he watched Joker murder his daughter as Harley Quinn was laughing.
Once the video was over, Lex called the metropolis Police to get the laptop as he then placed a call to his bodyguard Mercy who was on vacation to tell her to get in touch with Deadshot and Deathstroke, he had a job for them.
In the meanwhile, he got in touch with the Metropolis bank and withdrew 100 billion dollars from his personal account and had it put into a new one. After that he got in touch with his secretary Amy and asked her to arrange a meeting with Bruce Wayne as soon as possible,
The meeting was arranged to take place later that week, as Lex turned on the TV and saw all the news channels were reporting on what happened at the beach, with pundits debating were parents right to blame Superman and what punishment should Joker receive when caught by the police.
After an hour, Lex got a call on his mobile phone from Mercy, saying Deathstroke and Deadshot would take this job Lex had for them. He sent a text, informing her to tell both men that he was willingly to pay both men 5 billion dollars to bring Joker to him alive.
After the text was sent, Lex soon got a new message saying Deadshot and Deathstroke both accepted the contract from Lex and would begin looking for Joker immediately.
The Fortress of Solitude
Superman arrived back at the fortress and went over to the computer and watched CCTV footage of what happened at the beach. By the time he was done watching. Superman had tears in his eyes, he knew those parents were right, what happened to those children at the beach was his fault.
Superman vowed that he would do his best, to ensure a tragedy like this would never happen again. He then heard people calling out for his help with a landslide in Cuba and flew off to help.
The Luthor Mansion- the next day
Lex sat in his study as the two Metropolis Police Detectives assigned to the Joker case, Daniel Carl and Stephen Andrews and gave both envelopes full of several thousand dollar bills, to ensure that he is informed of all developments in the Joker case, and that he would tell them any developments he got in return.
The two men took the money as Detective Carl said "You can come with us to the morgue now and formally identify your daughter's body."
Lex nodded as he got his coat and followed the detectives to their car which headed to the local morgue, where he saw the families of the other victims had also arrived to identify their loved ones.
After a half hour of waiting in the hallway and seeing some of the other parents emerge from identifying their loved ones in tears, Lex finally had to identify his daughter, he saw her face, and cried as he nodded to confirm it was her and was led outside by detective Andrew who said "I promise you Mr Luthor. The Joker will pay for what he's done."
Lex didn't say a word and knew no matter what it took, Joker would regret his actions by the time Lex was done with him.
