a chaotic Gotham City playground, illuminated solely by the sinister glow of a full moon. Among the desolate streets, he saw Batman chasing the joker he was driving over roofs breaking them when he was able to stop the jokers car he jump out his car standing tall, his dark cape billowing in the wind. Across from him stood the Joker, sliding his body out the car his maniacal grin etched upon a twisted face.

As their battle raged, Jackson watched with a mixture of awe and fear. The city itself seemed to tremble under the weight of their clash. Buildings crumbled, from joker throwing bombs or laughing gas. Innocent bystanders scrambled to safety while others were trapped in the chaos.
Among the destruction, Jackson noticed a young boy, not too different from himself, cowering in fear. He recognized the child as his younger self, frozen in time, reliving this tragic memory. The child's eyes widened in terror as he saw the devastation unfold before him.
Jackson (thought bubble): Why can't Batman defeat him? Why does this keep happening?
Amidst the chaos, Jackson glimpses a conversation between Batman and the Joker.
Joker: Ha! I don't want to kill you, Batsy. Where's the fun in killing someone who completes me?
Batman: Your reign of terror ends here, Joker.
Suddenly, Batman seized an opportunity and delivered a powerful blow to the Joker, sending him soaring through the air. As the Joker laughed uncontrollably, Jackson's young self watched in astonishment as Batman effortlessly restrained the chaotic clown.but the Joker turns his head all the way around looking at the child with a terrifying grin and his body looms over the child the fear running up the child's spine
Joker: I'll see you soon kid and I'll make you smile until you die
The joker jumps towards the child before anything happened Jackson shoots up sweat running down his face his breath his hands rubs his face these dreams have been happening so much lately is it because I seen Batman that day he was looking for information on some gigs we had planned he broke my arm and tried scare tactics but I didn't fold but penguin he got thrown and threatened he snitched on all are gigs money stopped coming in for months luckily for me I raised the prices on are arms deal so I could take some off the top and I had my own gig going on so I kept having money come through which thanks to penguin I learned how to run it and how to make deals
the apartment I bought is all the way on the other side of Gotham no knows where I live it's pretty nice place nothing to fancy but it's nice and I keep all my illegal stuff at the other apartment so what happened last time won't happen again putting on my suit and head to the lounge working for penguin was interesting at first I did learn a lot about how crime really works and how to build yourself up even how to keep up a looking innocent in the eyes of the public but the problem is we can't go any further penguin is holding us back his ego is easily hurt he drove a man to suicide because he was laughing and he thought he was laughing at him
And he folds to easy I'll be the first one to admit I'm scum but penguin is a man with no morals his pride is what he acts on but he is a smart man but he won't go far since his pride is waking him down he treats us all like we are beneath him for now I'll just follow under him until I build my own and crumble his
Penguin: good your here kid moneys been slow for the past couple of months because you lazy bums have been slacking
Penguin: so you guys are going to rob a armored truck but not any truck this one is owned by Lex Luther and it's driving through Gotham
Jackson: are you sure that's a good idea
Penguin: are you questioning me
Jackson: I'm just saying he is the richest and smartest so wouldn't he be expecting someone to rob it and has defenses against thieves
Penguin: that's for you to figure out so get it done and if you fail I'll carve all those tattoos off your body
Jackson (fake smile): of course I'll make sure we get it done
Penguin: that's what I want to hear now get out of my sight
I grab the information about the armored truck location the good part is that it's going over a bridge I take two groups with me and drive around I had some guys block off the end of the bridge with cars the truck is surrounded by motorcycles hopefully this works I ram the side of the truck trying to push it nearly off the edge the guys on motorcycles start shooting at me thankfully some of the henchmen keep them off me I get the truck on the edge of the bridge I hop out the car and as the man try and get out the falling truck I push one in and get inside with him
Jackson: if you don't wanna die open the back
He nods and opens a door to the back I quickly run inside and start grabbing stuff it's all technology based items this really could make some selling to the right person I try and be quick but the truck wouldn't stop shaking
Henchman: it's falling you gotta get out of there
Jackson: here (throws the bag full of tech at them)
I run up the truck trying to get out as the truck falls off the bridge I jump out and grab on to the bridge they help me up I look down watching the truck sink into the dark water we all return back to the lounge
Penguin: great now I can sell these and get my money coming back
Henchman 5: what about are payment
Penguin: you want your payment here it is
He raises his umbrella and shoots the guy in the chest sending him to the ground killing him penguin laughs
Penguin: does anybody else want payment (no answers) good
He leaves truth be told I expected that that's why I kept a bag for my own I need to sell it quick before they track it to me I leave and head back to my apartment
Lex Luther POV The security footage of my truck being robbed is quite interesting
Mercy: should I call the police or handle it another way
Lex: find information on this person and we are going to pay him a visit
