Joker pulls a gun up to my head and laughs.

"So funny." I say sarcastically.

"Have a little fun before you die kiddy!" He shouts happily.

"If you say so." I slide under the joker and shove my sword through his leg.

He screams and it turns into a psychodic cackle.

I raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"Heck's wrong with you?" I ask, not really caring.

The joker turns and laughs.

I jump back.

"How crazy is this guy?" I turn to ask batman but he's gone.

"Uhhh... I'll take that as super crazy." I state and return my attention to the psycho in front of me.

He picks up a baseball bat. It's been spray painted green and purple and it has a joker face on it.

"You wanna know how your big bro, robin, died?" He slams the bat into his palm.

"Jason is not my brother, nor will he ever be. I am the one and only robin. Now, let's grow some wings." I grin and launch myself at the joker.

He tries to dodge so I land and launch at him again.

He is unprepared and I shove my sword through him.

"Damian! Stop!" I hear batman shout.

I ignore him and pull my sword up.

The blade leaves his head and he crumples to the ground, dead.

Batman grabs my shoulder and throws me in the bat mobile. "Stay. Here."

"O. K." I say, copying how he talked.

Batman growls then slams the door.

He comes back after a few hours.

He's silent all the way back to the cave.

"Bruce, sorry. I'm just used to finishing off my enemies."

"God dammit Damian! Apologizing isn't gonna do anything! You killed a man today in cold blood!" Batman shouts.

"I was raised as an assassin. I was born as an assassin. So if there is a problem with who I am, then just fire me!" I shout and stomp up to my room.
