WARNING: Attempted S##ual Assault

--Batman--

I drive through the city and use glasses that have a program I made to try and find Joker in the alleys that are too dark to see from the street. I can feel the panic ride up into my body as I go for a few hours without any sign of the Joker.

"Damn it, where are you!?" I mumble allowed and just like that I hear a gun go off a few alley ways ahead. I quickly make it to the alley to see Joker breathing heavily, ruffled and bleeding while standing with one foot on a man who lays on the ground. Joker holds his gun pointing at the mans head with a ciggeret in his mouth and that animal look in his eyes.

I get out of the car and aproch slowly. "Joker?..." I say and Joker quickly turns to look at me. Joker looks unsteady, like he's about to faint. The man in front of him lays dead, bleeding out. Joker looks back at the man, his hands shaking slightly as he lets out a spine chilling chuckle. Jokers clothes a mess but he is without his purple blazer that sits on the ground. Joker uses his free hand to brush a hand through his hair.

"Joker, put down the gun... He's dead." I say and Joker lowers his gun slowly but doesn't look towards me and that crazed look still there, like the world isn't there. "Joker we have to go before the police get here." I say but Joker doesn't move.

--Joker--

Burces voice echoes through my head with the gunshot ringing in my ears still as I look down at the dead man. I feel myself falling down a rabit hole in my mind, unable to pull myself back to reality. I hear the words Batsy says but I can't fully understand like it's a different language.

Suddenly I feel Bruce gently pull the gun from my hand and grab my wrist gently. I look up at him quickly and as he touches my hand. I'm pulled from my thoughts and back to reality.

I don't know why but I shake violently as Bruce pulls me out of the alley way and tells me. "Get in." I listen and get in on the other side while Bruce gets in and drives. I look around the car to see he had some device on that blocked any cameras near by from working. I throw the ciggeret out.

I look at my hands as they shake. "What happened?" Bruce asks, concern on in his voice but it still echoes through my head with the ringing of the gun. "I..." That is all I can get out of my mouth before fnding myself unable to speak, everything like a distant memory.

Bruce drives with a cousious look on his face and we make it into the manner. Alfred gives us a worried look, by now I had calmed enough to talk but my hands and everything still shake. I sit down on the couch in a cross cross possition, my hands infront of me as I stare at them not knowing what to do.

"Mr. Joker are you alright?" Alfred asks sitting next to me and I hand my head, not looking at him. "Joker... What happened?" Bruce asks seemingly forgetting hat I had said earlier.

--Batman--

Joker sits, silent with his hands shaking. I can't help but to worry, this is the longest I've ever seen Joker not talk and he's never just sat still.

I kneel next to Joker so that I can clearly see his face as he stares at his shaking hands. "Joker... Jack..." I say and Jokers eyes dart to me quickly and gives a surprised look like he didn't expect me to remember what he told me. "What happened?" I ask and Joker looks back at his hands before balling them.

"He cornered me... I tried to shoot him but he got my gun before I could and threw it... Then he tried to get my clothes off but I had manidged to push him away and got my gun, hitting him in the face and nocking him to the ground before shooting him right in the head... I was in fight or flight when I killed him." Joker says in an oddly calm voice.

I can see the shock on Alfreds face. Joker lets out a twisted laugh and stands quickly. "I'm alright though!... He failed and died! I'm still alive!" Joker says as tears start to stream  down his face. I walk over to Joker who backs away from me quickly. "Don't!" Joker yells quickly and I stop in my steps as he starts shaking a lot more violently. Joker looks at his hands and laughs. "I'm shaking..." Joker says with a false joy.

I don't know why but I hold my arms open. Joker looks at me surprised and so does Alfred but I don't lower them. Joker hugs me as I pull him into my arms and I hug him as he breaks down, unable to hold up the 'I'm fine act' very long.

Damn clown... What the hell is going on in that brain of yours that causes such back and forth? What happened to you all those years ago?
