I've wanted to do a Joker V. Joker challenge for some time.

Task Two: This is a Joker V. Joker challenge, meaning that two contestants will pair up against each other, tournament-style. Two of them will face off and the others will give them their contest. Only the winner doesn't receive a penalty point and the rest do. A tie counts as a loss for both contestants.

"So… I think Leo and Percy should first," Jason said.

"Sure, but the thing is that Leo might start crying when he loses," Percy said. "I don't think my powers will be able to stop them."

"Funny, because I'm going to burn you so hard- son of Poseidon or not," Leo said.

"So, what should we make them do?" Frank asked Jason.

Frank and Jason whispered for a few minutes before Jason said, "Okay, your task will be to steal as many shoes as possible."

"Stealing shoes?" Percy asked.

"Yeah," Frank said. "And you can't get caught. Both of you'll have ten minutes each."

Percy stepped up first as he peered around the park, wondering what to do.

"Percy," Frank said, "It's already been three minutes. Stand there any longer and you're going to get barnacles."

"Percy, on your left, there's someone who's taking off his shoes," Jason said.

Percy noticed that indeed, a guy was laying out on the grass in the sun and had taken off his shoes. They were only about a foot away from him though.

"I'm going to have to be really sneaky about this," Percy said.

He then tiptoed around the guy until he would be approaching him from an angle that would, hopefully, mean that he was out of his range of vision.

"And you can see friends, as the shark moves towards its unsuspecting prey," Leo said.

"Or to be more accurate, a killer whale," Jason said.

After that, he went down on his knees and began crawling towards the shoes.

"This looks so weird," Leo said.

"Yeah, imagine what someone would think if he saw this," Frank said.

Percy finally reached the pair of shoes when the guy craned his head a little and Percy withdrew his hand and turned around.

"Well, that was close," Frank said.

Percy then waited and tilted his head when he saw that the guy had gone back to staring at the clouds. He then slowly reached for the shoes and began dragging them away.

"I don't believe it," Leo said. "He's getting away with this!"

Just then, the guy got up a bit, and of course, noticed Percy dragging away his shoes.

"Those are mine, man," the guy said.

"Oh, these are yours?" Percy asked, trying to feign surprise. "I was just, uh, you know, trying to lie down and these shoes kind of got in the way. Sorry."

With that small save, Percy got up and brushed the grass off himself.

"You only got two minutes left, Percy," Jason said.

Percy decided that these sorts of desperate times called for desperate measures. He went to a nearby fountain, and used the water to spray a jet of liquid at someone's feet.

"He just used his powers, is that allowed?" Leo asked.

"I think as long as no one sees them," Jason said.

"Oh no," the man said.

Percy held his breath, waiting for the guy to take his shoes off when he'd get his chance, only for the guy to take them off- but he didn't put them on the sidewalk and instead walked away carrying them in his hands.

Result: Percy got zero shoes.

Now, Leo was up and about wandering the park area, but much like Percy, unable to find someone who had taken off their shoes.

Leo knew he just had to find a single shoe to beat Percy, but that was turning out to be extremely hard as one; he didn't have a power that was useful in this situation like Percy's; and two, the park had no place where people might take their shoes off and exchange them for something else, like a tennis court. If Leo didn't get any shoes, then that meant that he and Percy were tied, meaning they both lost.

He sat under a tree, looking around and thinking of some way- any way that he could maybe get someone to take off their shoes.

The only thing that really came to mind was to light someone's shoes on fire, but that would be way too dangerous and he would probably get caught, unlike Percy.

It was just as his time was about to run out that he saw a bunch of women gossiping and that they had left their baby strollers around them unattended.

Leo narrowed his eyes.

"It looks like Leo's going for those unattended children," Percy said.

"Leo, you're a real criminal, you know that right?" Frank said. "Yeah, we should probably call the police."

Leo ignored them and tried walking there like he was just out on a casual stroll… until he walked close to a baby that was sleeping, and then very gently took a small shoe off and pocketed it.

"He did it!" Jason said. "I can't believe he did it!"

"I think one of the mothers saw him though," Frank said. "She looked like she was going to ask something, but didn't."

Once Leo was far enough, he said, "Like stealing shoes from a baby."

Result: Leo got one shoe. Leo beats Percy in this round.

"Okay, so, we've got to figure out what we want Frank and Jason to do," Leo said to Percy.

After a few minutes of talking, Percy said, "So, Frank, Jason, we hear that the two of you are considered very polite people."

"Thanks," Frank said. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Because no one will think that after this," Leo said.

"Both of you will have ten minutes each, like we did," Percy said. "And the goal is to step on people's feet."

"We have to step on people's feet?" Frank asked.

"Yes, and you have to do it so that no one says anything," Leo said. "If someone says something about it, you lose. And stepping on the same person more than once doesn't count."

"Also, you can't say sorry or apologize," Percy said smugly.

Jason decided to go first. He was just standing by himself in a lone corner of the park watching people go.

"I don't get it," Jason said. "How do you step on someone's foot and not say sorry? It's like you're messing with the very fabric of the social order."

"You could just give up," Frank said.

"Never," Jason said. "I'll just have to step on people's shoes."

Jason was looking for a large crowd, so that it would be possible for him to try and step on someone's shoes without being noticed.

Unfortunately, though he tried several times, he just couldn't find an opening and it looked extremely weird as he kept turning and going back while walking.

After several minutes he did see an opening though, and he with all the agility he could muster, he hopped onto a woman's foot before continuing walking like he didn't know what happened.

"Oh, she clearly noticed," Leo said.

"She's looking back- she- just walked away," Frank said. "Awww, man."

Jason then saw someone eating ice cream, and very casually trampled on the guys' foot. He walked away and didn't look back, hoping that he hadn't been noticed.

"Look at that guy's face!" Percy said. "That definitely hurt him. How much do you weigh Jason?"

"Yeah, he's really let himself go after this war was over," Leo said. "You need to go back to doing your Camp Jupiter workout- walking around in your armor all the time!"

"Aww, the guy just shook his head and began eating his ice cream again," Frank said.

"Okay, that's it," Jason said. "I'm not going to be doing any more of this."

Result: Jason managed to get step on two people's toes.

Frank was up, and he had a strategy for the game.

"You see, no one's going to bother telling you off if you're distracted," Frank said. He then took out a pair of binoculars and used it to look like he was bird watching. "And so they'll just see a guy who stepped on someone while bird walking and didn't notice."

"Yeah, except for the fact that anyone would notice if they stepped on someone's foot," Percy said.

"Yeah, well, mock me when I win," Frank said confidently.

He spotted someone sitting on a bench whose legs were spread out, so he decided that this was a good opportunity.

As Frank walked away after stepping on his shoe, the guy said, "Hey, I don't know if you noticed, but you stepped on my foot."

"Ooohhhh!" all three of them said at once.

"Sorry," Frank said. "I was just, you know, bird watching and didn't notice."

"Yeah, just be careful next time," the guy said.

Result: Frank didn't step on anyone, and so Jason wins.

"And now for the final fight," Leo said. "Jason and I! Unless you two wanna fight for the bronze medal first."

"No," Percy said. "And anyway, we already know what we're going to ask you two to do."

"Yup," Frank said. "You guys are also going to get ten minutes. You need to get people in the park to slap you."

"The one who gets the most slaps wins," Percy said.

"Wait, what?" Leo asked.

"Okay, I have to say that that is unfair," Jason said. "For one, I have such a beautiful face that no one would ever slap me, while on the hand Leo's face basically screams 'slap me' and that's usually what people hear as subtext whenever he talks. This'll be a cake in the park for him."

"You know Jason, you just might get several from me the more you keep talking like that," Leo said.

"I wasn't finished," Frank said. "Only slaps to the face count, not punches or kicks."

"And this is for the championship, so don't disappoint us," Percy said.

Jason stepped up first.

"I'm seriously considering just forfeiting," Jason said. "No one's slapped me in my face in my life. Leo on the other hand probably has lots of practical experience."

"You could try dressing up as Jason from Friday the Thirteenth again," Percy said. "People might slap you then, but they might just as well shoot you too."

Jason therefore decided to go pick a fight. Once he found someone who kind of looked like he worked out a bit (so he wouldn't run if Jason challenged him to a fight) Jason decided to step up.

He went up the guy and gave him a hard shove.

"Watch where you're going," Jason said.

"Oh, sorry man," the guy said.

"Aren't you mad or something?" Jason asked.

"Oh no, bro," the guy said. "Collisions like that happen in this universe, but we need to remember that we're all connected."

The guy hugged Jason and left.

"Wow, it's like people literally can't slap Jason," Frank said. "Leo, you've got this in the bag."

"Yeah, we believe in you, Leo," Percy said.

Jason scratched his head, thinking of what to do now. He decided that if he wanted someone to slap him, he would slap someone first.

He found a teenage boy with his head turned down and Jason went and lightly struck him across the sheet.

"Whoa," the guy said and looked up. "Dude- thanks for that. I've been trying to stay awake- I've got this paper to finish. Can you do that again?"

Jason looked very, very, displeased. "You know what, sure buddy," Jason said.

"You know, it kind of tingles, like your hand's electric or something," the guy said.

"I don't know why that would be true," Jason said.

"You're letting your powers show, Sparky," Leo said.

"I think Sparky's getting flustered," Percy said.

"Maybe you should go around wearing a 'slap me' poster slapped onto your back," Leo said.

Jason glanced around some more. "You know what guys… I quit.."

Result: Jason didn't get slapped at all.

"As always, the Valdez has a plan," Leo said. "I made this before leaving."

"You only have three minutes left now," Percy said. "I hope it was worth it."

"And you don't need a plan to win this," Frank said. "Just be yourself."

And so, Leo started walking around the park with a placard around his neck that said: I LOST A BET. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SLAP ME IN THE FACE.

As you can imagine, he got a lot of weird looks.

"No one's slapping him though," Frank said.

"Yeah, they're just looking at him weird," Jason said.

"Okay to be honest, if I saw a guy like that wandering around through the park," Percy said, "I probably wouldn't slap him."

"Oh wait look, someone's coming to him and they look pretty mad at something!" Frank said. "And yeah! That was right in the face!"

"Okay I win now," Leo whispered. "I want this to end."

"Nah, you'll have to go through the whole time," Percy said.

"I hate you guys," Leo said.

He got smacked in the face three more times before time was up.

Result: Leo Valdez wins the tournament!

A/N: And that ends this round! Frank and Leo have only one point each, while Jason and Percy have two each. On a side note, if you saw someone like that walk down the street, would you slap them?
