Y/N's POV

I am back at the manor. Me and Alfred are talking.

Alfred: I think you should have Lucius make something for you.

Y/N: Yeah, maybe something that can help me track down the Joker.

Alfred: Indeed, sir.

We saw the Gotham News turn on.

Vicki: This is Vicki Vale, reporting live from Gotham City. We have some footage of the Joker. This footage might be disturbing for some viewers.

Then the screen cuts to a hostage tied to a chair. The Joker's voice is heard behind the camera.

Joker: Hello... Gotham.... City...

The hostage is crying.

Joker: You see this gentlemen right here? He is just a regular citizen here in Gotham. Why is he here? No reason.

Joker then started laughing.

The hostage then speaks.

Hostage: T-The... Batman.... will s-stop y-you.

Joker: Oh.... I hope he does....

Joker then got out a gun and shot the hostage in the chest. The gunshot also knocks the chair over. Joker then turns the camera around, so it shows his face.

Joker: Batman... I hope you are watching this. Everyone knows who I am. But none of us know who you are.

I stay silent and continue watching.

Joker: I want you to take off your mask, and show the whole world who you are. Or people are going to keep dying. I may be joking, I may not.

Joker then starts laughing again. The footage ends. Me and Alfred just stand there and process what we just watched.

Y/N: Oh no.....
