——————————————————————————————————
Soon the familiar cackles of pure madness had spread around the hall. The Joker was here and wanted to play.
——————————————————————————————————
Meda cursed out in Greek under her breath. How could they be so reckless and clueless? They should have spotted him or took him out before he arrived. No matter I'll get them now.
Meda shared a glance with her cousins and they all MM.
"What's the plan" Nico MM'ed
"The usual" I MM'ed back
"So, wing it" Thaila MM'ed
I nod to Thalia to tell her to change and distract the goons and clowns.
Joker paused in his victory speech to walk around his captives like they were rare zoo animals. Each of the Wayne's looked terrified except the small one who looked bored and annoyed. Each one had defiance in their eyes, probably due to the fact this was a regular occurrence of their kidnapping or the fact they are the Bat-family. Yes, I figured it out in like two days. Seriously 4 kids, 4 robins, rich, rich. duh!
"Let. Them. Go" Thalia/Lightning snarled at the Joker.
"And what if I don't want to?" The Joker spoke in an eerily calm voice. "Anyway, you are in no position to defeat my thugs, defeat me and still save the poor, poor, hostages," Joker states in a mockingly sad voice.
At this point me and Nico have snuck out and changed into our hero attire ready to help Lightning if the need arises.
"Oh, is that so? "Thalia replies in a teasing voice like what she goes when she teases me and Nico. Thalia has a smirk on her face that is feeding into the anger of Joker. Seriously, people say I need anger management classes. The worst thing I've done when angry was blow up a mountain. I'm not that bad!
the Joker's calm facade fades until he is laughing and crying on the floor like a mad man. "And people say I'm crazy?" He bursts into more laughs till he sees no one is laughing and glares at them. An uneasy laugh spreads as people rush to do what Joker wants.
"Don't worry we are close by if needed, we are just sneaking around knocking down the bad guys in the corners and non-seeable areas." I MM.
Nico and I take out all of the goons in the less populated area's then converge on the ones with the hostages. Thalia picks this moment to say "since when was I alone?" Thalia then shoots lightning at Joker and Quin before coming and helping us rescue the kidnapped.
"You took your time" Thaila states in a fake annoyed voice.
"Why we're just making sure we looked perfect for the paparazzi shoot later today," I grumble back. We make swift work of the goons till its just Quin and the Joker left.
"Lightning, get the civilians to safety then come back to take out the trash," I tell her. She sends me a quick grin then runs to do what is said.
As the Joker and Quin get up and get ready to charge, I see Thalia's done her job and has rushed to the music set. She then puts on Green Day at an ear-shattering volume. Let's get this party started.
Joker charges at me in a sloppy form that makes me wonder how he got this far as a villain. I make quick work of him by tripping him then bashing his head with the palm of my hand, making him fall unconscious. I look over and Harley looks worse for wear with her whole costume being ripped to shreds except her bra and pants. I look back at Joker and realise he's the same. Good job Thalia.
We are getting ready to return to our civilian forms when a large man-bat drops from the ceiling. Yay! Rat-wings is here. I wonder if he eats bats would it be considered cannibalism? I'll ask him.
"Hey Man-Bat, as you can see, we have done your job for you. Now we have one simple question," the others look at me with a questioning look, "If you eat a bat, would it be considered cannibalism?" I ask.
Rat-wings sent us a questioning look then went to handcuff the bad guys and goons. Finally, after 5 minutes he looks up at us and asks, "who are you?" in an accusing tone.
Me being me said, "Wondy wonderful cousins/sister" in an amused voice. He looks taken aback for a second before asking how. We laugh and then say "Multiverse" together it creeps anyone out.
After a few minutes of conversation, we agree to go to the watchtower with him.
Yay! Space!
