DATA ENTRY 2

SUBJECT: Gotham

I have found a supplier for my future endeavors as a merc. This man is insane, but we all aren't we?

This man goes by the alias Joker…

The Joker has been on my list of contacts for some time now. He was once part of the mob, and has been causing a ruckus all throughout Gotham City. Something… happened to him. Whether those chemicals messed with his mind, or it is just an act to make himself known to the people, I don't know. But he is a good ally to have, even though he is on the brink of completely losing it, if he hasn't already.

He is also the rival to the infamous hero known as Batman.

Batman… Batman I have the utmost respect for. I am a villain no doubt, and would gladly put a bullet in between the Bat's eyes any time, but…

The way he has such an iron fist over Gotham, even if meant for good, reminds me of myself.

Speaking of Gotham, I will have to trek there soon. The Joker is being stubborn with supplying me here. He wants me to travel across the country just to get my equipment. I don't see why, because Joker has so many connections. It wouldn't be of a burden to send some of his goons here.

This is of no problem however. I have been hiding out in a broken down hotel for many months now. It's right on the outside of town. I can't stay in Jump, because it has become too dangerous for me. Metropolis is teeming with JLA recruits, and Gotham seems like the best choice. Gotham is a cesspool for crime anyway. I'll fit right in…

I sent Joker the E-mail about the merchandise, and this was his response…

Slade,

Oh goody! I have the almighty Slade to tell tall tales with! I have what you need Slade, and you will have to make your way here to get it! Let me see if I can get recap on the amount you are asking for…

Joker

What bothers me about this response, other than the "Sladey-poo", is that he doesn't ask for any money. I don't trust the Joker, and I never have, but I am going to take a chance and make my way to Gotham.

I'll update when I reach the city…
