Hey bolo, another short chapter. But would you rather short than waiting? i agree that the joker is more insane. He just had a bad life. but in my story he's more evil. enjoy.
Chapter 5
"Lizardman?" The man laughed a sickening laugh. "Well you die today."
"Why would that be? I didn't do anything to you."
"Maybe I just feel like it." The man growled. He swung the mace at Xander who ducked and rolled.
"Haven't you read my comic books! It's not nice to do this to a superhero!" Xander screeched. He wondered if Batman would come get him, as dorky as that sounded. He wasn't ready to be pulverized meat yet.
As the man came closer Xander backed up to the wall and realized he could escape. He turned and began climbing. The man grabbed his foot and he tumbled back to the ground.
"That's not fair." Xander complained rubbing his foot. The man raised the mace.
"That's it, I'm using the poison." He pressed the button on his belt. "Or maybe I'm not." He closed his eyes and prayed. He felt someone grab him.
"Have a good afternoon?"
"God it's good to see you." They were jerked upwards and landed on top of a building.
"You've sent me far out of the way. The bat signal went off."
"I'm right there with you."
"Come on." Batman jumped to another building and made his way down a fire escape towards the Batmobile.
"He was big. And maybe he was a vampire!" Xander called as he stumbled to catch up.
"I think the signal came from the Mayor's office. He must be in trouble."
"That's usually why they make the signal isn't it?" Xander looked back down to make sure the man wasn't following him. "What could it be?"
"Anything. But I'll bet it's connected to the Joker or Sketch."
"Or both. Evil villains have been known to work together. And it's more likely since the Joker made him evil."
"We'll find out." the car stopped in front of the town hall skyscraper. "Going up." Batman shot his grapple out and was jerked out of the car. Xander scrambled to shoot his own and followed Batman up, occasionally having to use his feet and hands to get the extra inches.
"This one." Batman stopped near a window and Xander struggled yo stop. He went to far and had to climb back down with his sticky hands.
"Warn me please, when you're gonna do that."
"Look. In there." Batman swung to the side and Xander peered in. The Joker was there. The mayor was tied up next to him. Batman leaned in and cut a hole with what looked like a diamond knife and extracted a piece of glass. The voices floated out to them.
"Mayor oh mayor. Why don't you tell me where the Gem is?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Sure you do. Big, round, red. I know you had it filched from the museum in Metropolis last year. See if you help, you'll get a reward. Now be a good boy and tell me."
The Joker reached out with something and Xander was about to jump. Batman held him back as they watched The Joker apply face paint to the mayor. "Happy little clowns." The joker laughed maniacally.
"Why does he want that gem?" Xander whispered as quietly as he could to Batman.
"The gem is said to have powers of control. My guess is that The Joker wants to control the people he turns made. Maybe loose them on the city."
"That's a cheerful idea." Suddenly the Joker's face popped up and he appeared at the window. A reign of bullets whipped outside.
"Drop!" Batman yelled. Xander let go of the wall and with his grapple to catch him, he plummeted. Once back in the car he unhooked himself and they took off.
"I bet he kidnaps the mayor."
"We'll have to go the carnival."
"The one that he owns. The dilapidated scary insurance man frightening one?"
"Yes. I think so..."
"Fun. Do you think your phone will reach my dimension? I want to call my girlfriend in case I die."
"Xander..." Batman warned. Xander crossed his arms and sunk into the plush leather seats.
"You know, you're a lot cooler on television. And in the movies. Except in the Adam West version. Talk about funny. It was this Batman comedy show. And you wore tights." Xander laughed, evening the score.
"I do not wear tights. Sometimes I wear inflammable insulators. Nothing like tights."
"I'm so sure." They headed to the other side of town. They were in for a long night.
