A day after the break in at Arkham and Jason's nightmare, Bruce was currently making his way towards the Bat-Computer. He had heard that Joker was acting more cautious and he could count in one hand and still have fingers left on who could have made him that scared but he needed proof. He sits down and looks over the footage of Joker's cell. He had placed camera feeds throughout the entire Island, especially after he started taking down corrupt staff and guards along with the creation of the Arkham Island Bat-cave a few years ago. He sees that some one had cut the lights in his cells and he could barely make out who it was but he knew who it was. He activates the Night vision in the cameras and makes out Oliver's figure, in full gear and Joker in his prison jumpsuit. He can't see or hear what he is saying (sound muffler device Wayne Tech and Queen Consolidated had co-developed a few years ago probably) but he knew a threat when he saw one.
He gets up from the chair makes his way to the training area, where Oliver was watching Sara and Tim practicing with their bow staffs. He walked over to Oliver and whispered in his ear.
"Lockers, now." He and Oliver excused themselves while Tim and Sara shared a look that basically said 'They're gonna fight' and the latter two went to over the infirmary and prepare incase things got bloody. Bruce locked the doors and activated the noise cancellation system. He looked at Oliver straight in the eye.
"Where we're you last night?" Bruce asks cautiously
"Cut the bullshit Bruce, you know already and I'm not apologizing for my actions even though I could have killedhimand you would have never found the body." Oliver growls
"I know but I need to know what you threatened him with."
"ARGUS" Bruce reels back a bit. Oliver was really thinking of handing over Joker to Waller? That could go so wrong in so many ways on so many levels that he could write an entire book series and he'd still leave some things out. "Waller owes me and even she knows not to fuck around with Joker. He'd be sent to the Lian Yu ARGUS prison."
"And what else?" Oliver was quiet for a moment. He was good liar but Bruce was one of the few who could tell when he was lying so he decided to press the fuck it button. What's he gonna do, beat him to a pulp?
"I told him that I would give him a slow death if ARGUS or the GCPD failed to capture him." Bruce shouldn't even be surprised but he still is.
"Okay."ERROR!Oliver.exe has stopped working.
"Wait, what?" Oliver's brain is still rebooting after Bruce said he was fine with it. He expected an argument at best and a brutal fight at worst (like their arguments turn out most of the time).
"I'm not exactly okay with it but if it means Jason will be safe from him forever, I can live with it. But I need you to make me a promise." Oliver nods. "Promise that if he comes anywhere my son, you'll kill him." Oliver reels back at that. He wants him to what!? Bruce 'thou shall not kill' Wayne, the fucking 'Hollier than though' Batman. "I don't care how quick, how long or how painful it is so long as he's dead."
"Why?"
"Why?" Bruce snorts at that. "Cause my son was kidnapped, tortured in the most inhumane ways for over a year and what is to say that we saw everything Joker did? For all we know, we only saw a portion of everything Joker did." Oliver had to concede to that point. What if Jason went through more than they thought? That was grim thought pushed into the back of his mind. There will time for that later.
"Okay, I'll do it." Bruce and Oliver shake hands. "But you better not back track or you're a dead man."
"I believe you and I won't. I promise." They both walk out of the Lockers and sees Sara and Tim on stand by with first aid kits in there hands. Their eyes comically widen when they see them unharmed and quite calm.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Both exclaim at the same time. How the fuck did they not try and beat the ever living shit out of each other?
Batman puritans are gonna fucking murder me for this but I really don't care. I also enjoyed poking fun at modern Batman and his is always must be right mindset and attitude which I despise with a passion. Hope you all enjoyed, appreciate criticism but will delete hate.
