Dancing with myself.
It was a well known fact that no one, no one really liked Lazlo Valentine aka Professor Pyg. The only person who truly did was Tommy Elliot aka Hush, but that guy was a nut case anyway, I mean making your face to look like Bruce Wayne? Insane!
So naturally, Pyg was alone when Hush was put in solitary for assaulting a guard and all the other inmates sat as far away from him as possible.
"Not that any of you care… but why is Pyg on his own?" Music Meister asked his fellow inmates as he sat by the radio he was aloud to have on good behaviour. It kept him calm and allowed him to listen to music, which in Arkham was the only fun thing he could truly do without getting yelled at.
Firefly, Moth, Ratcatcher, Shark and Kirk looked up at him since they were the inmates he was sitting with, Harley and Ivy were across the room, chatting about god knows what.
"You're kidding right?" Firefly stated as he stared at him. "No one likes him."
"He's crazy," Moth whispered and Meister gave them a look.
"All of us are crazy, Drury."
Otis nodded his head. "True, but no one wants to be near that kind of crazy!"
"You can't reason with him or bargain," Shark explained. "He'd just cut you up on that table of his and think he was doing you a favour and by the end of it, you would whole heartedly agree with him once the conditioning and the drugs have entered your system and re-wired your brain."
"Yeah, and I heard that the masks he puts on your face… when you try to take it off… well… their actual faces came off with them!" Kirk cried before he was shaking his head. "I'm sorry but that's… insane. Beyond all reason."
Meister shrugged. "Was Joker any better?"
"No, he wasn't," Garfield agreed as he looked up at Meister. "But no one was friends with that psychotic loon either!"
"Maybe that was the problem."
"No the problems occured when anyone tried to be friends with him and jesus if they made any moves towards Harley!"
"What happened?"
Shark shook his head. "One guy whistled at her once, they found him the next day hanging from a drain pipe with his lips cut off," he chuckled slightly. "Kinda funny when you think about it."
"Not really…" Kirk whispered before he looked back at Meister. "You don't want to go near him."
"Yeah and the damn opera-."
"Opera?"
Garfield nodded. "Loves it. Doesn't stop singing it sometimes, surprised you haven't heard him."
Music Meister's eyes lit up. No one else in here liked Opera, maybe he could speak to Pyg about that?
The others watched as Meister moved around the couch heading towards Pyg sitting in the corner.
"Double M, where you going?" Drury cried out as they watched him.
"Dude, are you nuts?!" Firefly blanched as Messier kept going, before he grabbed a chair and was sitting in front of Pyg.
Otis shook his head as the others stared in horror, even Harley and Ivy had finally caught on to what was going on.
"It's been nice knowing you Music Meister…" Otis muttered as he turned and returned to looking after his rats.
"Hey Pyg," Meister greeted with a little wave, Pyg looked up at him a face of sadness and he sniffed slightly before grunting.
"What does he want with Pyg, mother? What does he want..?" more squealing followed the words and Meister forced himself not to wince.
"I heard you liked Opera," he explained as he began to tune the radio to classical music. "That and classical music I imagine."
"It helps Pyg concentrate… helps make his work better… presentable… perfect!"
"Yeah…" Messier repressed a shudder. "Well, I haven't been able to talk about Opera with anyone else, all the others don't like it, they find it boring."
"Opera is not boring!" Pyg looked astounded that anyone would think such a thing. "Opera is a craft, it is emotion! Tragedy and drama, yet beauty all at the same time!"
"I know! Oh you have no idea how nice it is to finally find someone who understands!"
The others sat watching from afar, finally realising one thing.
"Pyg and Meister are friends?" Moth cried out and the rest nodded.
Then Edward came running into the room, eyes wide and wild with a look of pure terror on his face with Scarecrow chasing after him as best he could.
"What's the matter Eddie, Crane toxin ya or something?" Garfield barked but Edward shook his head and Jonathan actually looked like he was trying to calm him down.
"Mist's pregnant!" Edward yelled and the room fell silent as he stood there shaking. "With twins!"
Suddenly Harley and Ivy were swarming him, with Kirk rising to his feet to see if he could help in anyway.
Otis, Shark, Garfield and Drury continued to sit on the sofa staring in shock, before Shark tilted his head and raised what would've been an eyebrow.
"Mozzeltof?" he said in question as they continued to stare.
Otis shook his head. "Mist's pregnant."
"Scarecrow's being comforting," Shark mumbled.
"And Meister and Pyg have become friends!" Drury cried out.
Garfield groaned and put his head in his hands. "Harley was right. These are the end times."
THE END.
Note: I had a lot of fun with this one gotta say! :D
The end times indeed :D
