Batman:
I almost felt bad that I had tricked Joe into telling me where that Joke was, almost, but I hoped that he heard me when yelled that the stuff in the tank was green soda. Well, whether he heard me or not made little difference as he would survive the fall in any case. Unless he couldn't swim and if he couldn't swim well, then he was screwed, but I doubted that was the case.
The time for messing around was over and I couldn't afford to linger any longer I needed to get to the tailor shop and fast. The specifics of whatever the Joker was up to were irrelevant, because whatever it was couldn't be good in any way shape or form. I didn't need to fall apart right then even if somewhere deep inside a small part of me still wanted to.
I remembered something Alfred once said to me long ago right after my parents were murdered, 'I know things seem dark and overwhelming, but there is always hope, young man. Find hope in the darkness for hope is the light that fights back the darkness and when you find hope its light will mend what is broken.'
Alfred was right then and even as I was racing to stop the Joker I knew that he was still right. There was always hope and as I searched for it I found it in the fact that it was not over yet, it was not the end and it never would be as long as there were criminals like the Joker out there in the dark of night. I would always continue fighting the good fight, because it was right.
As I ran I activated a remote homing beacon in my belt that notified the Batmobile's tracking system of my position. The result was that an automated system would then start the engine up and that same system would then guide the car to my position would rendezvous with me wherever I would be.
It was dark as I came running out the front of the factory where the Batmobile was waiting and idling and when in drew near the top opened for me thanks to the proximity sensors. I got inside, put it in gear and spun away heading for the tailor shop. While I was racing there I got a feeling that something bad was about to happen and if the hair on my neck weren't covered by the cowl I am sure they would have stood on end.
As I suspected the tailor shop was closed and everything was dark when I got there, I mean after all it was after one A.M. I circled around the block and found a place to park the car then proceeded to find a back way into the tailor's apartment above the shop.
