A Rose By Any Other Name

Batman and Selena arrived at the Ace Chemical plant searching for clues to Joker's whereabouts when a group of Shadow Soldiers attacked them. Quickly utilizing their advanced fighting techniques Batman and Catwoman disarm, disable and destroy the group. They allow one to remain conscious and plant a tracker on him in the middle of the fight.

Acting like they were leave, but instead followed the soldier back to his base of operations. The duo followed the man through the main city, as he made his way to the outside where he met with two elite soldiers and was killed. The Lanky Shadow and the Deceptive Shadow both shot him in the head with a 357 magnum then left, heading towards the forest. Selena looked at Batman with wide eyes, "They just killed him."

"I guess he wasn't supposed to return."

Suddenly gunfire erupted from the forest into the trees where the two hid. Batman quickly dropped down, the bullets following him partially while the others stayed aimed in the trees, moving with Selena's movements. Batman was suddenly surrounded and he began his assault, dropping a smoke bomb to distract the soldiers, leading into a series of strikes, however the soldiers were unaffected and instead caught Batman's attacks and held him, while the others smashed their rifles against his skull repeatedly until he collapsed, seeing Selena dropping out of the tree after being shot in the legs and left arm. Deceptive Shadow appeared with Harley's hammer and grinned as he slammed the weapon into Batman's head, rendering him unconscious.

Suddenly Batman was soaked in ice cold water, his skin felt bare to the world, the sound of bats and beeping echoed around him. Muffled cries radiated around him, he opened his eye to discover he had been blindfolded. "Who is there?" He demanded fiercely.

"You are in no position to demand Batman." The shrill, cold, almost dead shivering voice of the Joker rang through the cave. "After all don't you care for miss Selena...or how about the Butler...Alfred right?"

"NO!" Batman suddenly realized his cowl was off, his cape gone, his tights, armor, everything. He was naked.

"That's right I know who you are. And after all these years. All of our fighting, our troubles, our arguments...oh it makes me laugh that its because you're just an orphan who's delusions of grandeur were able to be fulfilled with your wallet!" Joker began to laugh and suddenly muffled cries rose and the sound of a knife slicing across thick meat echoed in Bruce's ears.

"What have you done!" Bruce struggled to break free and was met with a lash from what felt like a barbed whip.

"I'm opening my present. I wanna know what you got me." He laughed and removed the gag he had on Alfred.

"Master Wayne..." Alfred gasped as Joker plunged his knife into the old man's knee, pushing and twisting to tear the tendons and ligaments, popping the knee cap off and out, Alfred screaming in pain, the others muffled cries also sounded.

Joker walked up to Bruce and forced his mouth open, Bruce fighting it was lashed again, three more times, finally Joker had his mouth held open and slowly slid the blade across his lips and tongue, Alfred's blood dripping off. Bruce roared and struggled again as Joker removed his blindfold to see Alfred hung naked upside down, slashes across his stomach and small bone under his head, as blood slowly ran down his leg from his knee. "He'll live for a little bit."

Bruce stared at Joker with an intense fury when one of the elite soldiers came to him. "Sir just kill him, don't gloat!" Joker suddenly nodded and pulled out a comically large Magnum, aiming at Bruce between the eye he turned the gun on the Soldier and fired, his brain matter splattering everywhere.

"Fuck you." Joker grinned, "you see I want you to escape, I want you to kill me. I want you to prove that even someone as self righteous as your sorry ass can have a bad enough day." Joker smiled his yellow grin and forced Bruce's head to turn, to see that Joker had also caught Ivy, Selena, and Harley, who were being brutally violated by numerous soldiers one after another after another. "Look at their faces, faces I have personally covered, along with my many soldiers." Joker laughed and shooed away the soldiers penetrating Selena and brought her to him, put the gun against her head and smiled. "I could kill her, watch as the light in your eyes dies and then my soldiers would continue to rape her, even using the bullet hole to fuck." Joker laughed and pulled the trigger, the sound of a bulled echoed in the halls and that was it. He laughed manically, dropping into a crouch to keep from falling. "I'm not gonna kill her." He walked up to Bruce and tussled his hair, "You are."

Against his wishes Bruce's body began convulsing and his right hand was freed, Bruce suddenly grabbed onto Selena's throat and began choking her. Joker laughing, tears running down Selena's crusted face. Bruce struggled and finally after Selena's body went limp and she had stopped breathing for more then five minutes Bruce had control again and Joker walked up to Selena and stabbed her in the back with a syringe. Bruce's hand was restrained and Selena's body began convulsing as Adrenaline coursed through her veins, reviving her barely.

Joker laughing once more pushed Selena back over to the soldiers to be violated. The madman removed Bruce's gag and smiled. "I see you have a question." Joker smiled, "Ask."

"How did you get soldiers like this?" Bruce asked.

"Internet is a wonderful thing...and apparently I am some kind of phenomenon. I found out a bit before Arkham City was opened, that I was dying, immeditately I went out and set up numerous plans." Joker raised his hands, "I know...I don't make plans...well this time I did." he smiled, "I wanted to retire...but I needed you dead."

"That was the whole blowing up Old Arkham?"

"Yupo." Joker spun around, "But you lived...so I activated Plan B, I would rule Gotham as a King until the government deems it necessary to nuke the city, using my precious cult of followers." Joker smiled and turned around, "Thank you all for being batshit crazy college kids with expendable lives and bank accounts." He chuckled and turned back to Bruce.

"What about Laughing Shadow." He asked

"What about him?"

"Who is he?"

"Look around...who do you not see here." He reached and unlocked Bruce's head from the contraption. He looked around and saw Alfred, Selena, Ivy, Harley, he had captured and killed Twoface, his entire 'good' side was fried in what looked like oil, Joker had captured Riddler and impaled him on a spike that he painted yellow like an exclamation mark. And all through out the cave Joker was displaying every other Batman enemy in the city, killed in some 'funny' way. And surrounding the dead trophies and Bruce was Joker's army of horny confused mentally twisted college kids who were either getting ready to rape the three ladies or were on the floor fucking each other in all manners.

"Who?"

"You boy." Bruce's eyes opened wide and turned, "Oh yes. Your son, in spirit, is my number two. JUNIOR!" Joker yelled out, calling Laughing Shadow. "Remove your mask, show him who you are." Laughing Shadow nodded and removed the mask, revealing a man with dirty blonde hair and the chiseled features like Bruce.

"I am Jack." He looked at Bruce with discontent, "I am the son of Harlean Quinzeal and Bruce Wayne. And I am going to kill my father and replace him with the man who raised me."

"HOW! Joker how?"Bruce's eyes teared up as Jack spoke.

"Science is my bitch! " Joker laughed, "For fuck sake, All of the elite soldiers, even Jack, are modified clones of your son. Sadly your real boy is somewhere in between here and Metropolis. I guess the last clone we made on the road was too much." Joker and Jack both laughed as Bruce let out a loud cry, "BTW, he was born with a serious form of epilepsy that I've was treating, so I expect you to compensate me for treating your boy and all of the clones." Joker erupted into more laughter before walking over to his seat. "So, let us see how long you can last Batman."

Jack sat next to Joker and grinned, "Yes...how long...Father."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, we are drawing a close on this conflict between Batman and Joker, maybe it will end next chapter. Either way, I promise not to stop writing the smut for you fans, I am deciding however whether to just add it on to this story after all is said and done like epilouge chapters or should I start a new story based around a Batman Harem. I would enjoy to know your thought on what I should do, and whether you like the story as it comes to a close. So please review, comment, pm, submit a pic, and/or check out one of my other stories. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
