The next morning Jester and Julia were awakened to their bedroom door flying off the hinges. The sound startles both awake and they find themselves in a room full of clowns. And then amongst them, Jason strolls in looking quite pissed off with his Joker face. He takes one look at Jester and pulls his gun and aims it at him.
"You let him go!" He marches forward thrusting the barrel of the gun into Jester's forehead.
Next to him Julia quickly reaches under her pillow for her gun. She draws it but a clown quickly steps up and hits her with the handle of an AK-47. Blood seeps from her nose as it knocked her out in one blow.
"Please don't hurt her," Jester swallows as his eyes lock with Jason's. "You're mad at me, take it out on me."
"She shouldn't have tried to pull a gun on the fucking Joker," Jason stares back.
"You're not the fucking Joker," Jester defiantly raises his chin.
Jason backhands Jester hard with the gun still in his hand. It only makes it hurt more. "I. Am. The Joker. And I should put a bullet in your fucking head for letting Bruce go. What, were you and J sharing him too?" Jason smirks at him.
"No," Jester says flatly, "I don't share my twins love of chiropterology."
"Then why the hell did you let him go?" Jason growls, pressing the barrel of the gun into Jester's head again.
"Because it was the right thing to do," Jester calmly answers.
"Heh-heh, the right thing," Jason giggles, "because you're just the foremost authority of what's right, hum? Ha ha haaaaa! Oh I needed that laugh this morning! I guess you like to paint yourself as the good twin, is that it?"
"Well, you do have the role as the bad twin all wrapped up, don't you?" Jester stares. "I'm not like J, and I'm not like you. If I was, I'd be the one standing there with a gun pointed at you, wouldn't I? I'd be the one J chose if I was, correct?" One of his green brows raise. "Haven't you ever asked yourself why he chose you?"
And with that Jason hits him again. "J might have tolerated your lack of respect but I will not!!" He shouts.
Jester licks the blood from his busted lip and looks back up at Jason, "What the hell do you know about respect? You don't even respect your own family."
Jason calmly harnesses his gun. He balls his fist and punches Jester. Hard. Then he punches him again. And again. "You're the one who needs to learn a lesson about respect!!" Jason turns to his clowns, "Beat the shit out of him and dump him in the harbor!!" He commands and storms off.

Jester's POV
Well one thing I can say about the clowns is, they're very proficient at following Jason's orders. They beat the shit out of me. They broke my jaw and several ribs. I was barely healed up from J's attack. My jaw was already weak from Bruce and Jason. So in all honesty, it didn't take a lot to break my jaw. I was beat until I lost consciousness.
