Joke's Not Funny

Everything That's Happened So Far

Quick note this is not canon, I have never read the comics, I am looking more into it, and I have only watched the animated series. So many things will be different from the canon. There will be mentions of underaged drinking, mentions of sexually assault in one or two chapters which will get their own disclaimer, abuse, lgbtq+ characters,

Prologue

Tim POV

I could feel my blood pressure rise as I walked the streets or entered the manor. Everywhere I saw a reflection, but my reflection wasn't me. What I saw was someone else who I never wanted to go back too or remember. I rushed through rooms and rooms. All of them had mirrors but none of them were me. I felt my heart pound like a drum threatening to break out. I rushed through more rooms trying to escape the mirrors as it got harder and harder to breathe. I ran into a room not looking around until I locked the door. I felt dizzy and I could tell I was shaking. Then I noticed I was in the bathroom with a mirror staring right at me. I screamed because of all the stress I felt. As he looked right back at me. I hit the mirror with my hands breaking it. As I cried I felt my conscience slip away into the mirror and out into a circus.

Main story

Dick POV

I was talking to Alfred when I heard Tim scream and glass breaking. Jason wasn't here, Bruce was busy, and Damian was being himself so when we got there only Damian was there but he wasn't doing anything to get the door open. I tried to open the door only to find it was locked, so I kicked it down. When the door fell down there was a card on the mirror. The card had one of those fake bang guns on it and the back had the letters “JJ” on there. Weird, I never knew Tim liked collecting cards. Even then this is a really weird card and Tim wasn’t anywhere in sight. “Damian, can you call Jason?” I asked him. Damian looked like he was about to say something before stopping himself and walking off to call Jason who was probably killing someone. When Damian walked off I noticed the vents in the bathroom were open. I looked in there with a flashlight to see nothing. “Tim could be in there.”
I was pacing back and forth in the living room, while Damian sat on the couch watching me pace, and Alfred was in the kitchen making dinner and cookies. That was when Jason rushed in the room out of breath and he looked like a mess. “WHAT IS GOING ON?!” He looked around before asking his next question. “WHERE IS TIM?!” I stopped pacing and rushed to him “Jason! Tim went missing in the bathroom and I looked everywhere in the manor! The only other place I could think of was the vents!” “... … … That is the issue? The fact Tim went missing? He’s probably overworking himself again but if he is still in the vents then yeah I can do something.” “Really?!” “Yeah.” He walked over to Damian and lifted him up “Jason what are you doing?!” “PUT ME DOWN, TODD!!!!” “I’m solving the issue.” He tossed Damian into the vents “If you come out without Tim and you haven’t searched the whole manor you aren’t getting dessert!” Now I was still pacing and Jason was waiting for Tim. I was already feeling nauseous again and my headache from earlier was back. That was when we heard it. We heard lots of moving and muffled sounds coming from the vents above us. Jason grabbed a crowbar and we stepped aside from the loose part of the ventilation system. When it fell my heart dropped and I felt my face go pale, because I was staring at Joker Junior.
Now I wasn’t completely unaware of what happened to Tim during his time as Robin and I never talked about it cause I didn’t know what happened besides he was kidnapped, brainwashed, put in a rehab, and that he may still have the other personality. I thought Jason knew this already so when I saw the pissed look on his face when he saw the Joker Junior I thought. “Oh… Bruce didn’t tell him even though we agreed he would be the one to tell everyone.” Joker Junior did not get a chance to stand up or move because Jason already hit him with a crowbar and was going to do it multiple times if I didn’t take the crowbar away from him. Damian jumped down and landed on Jason. Which distracted him long enough for me to deal with the now passed out Joker Junior.
Alfred already finished dinner and dessert so while Damian was eating dinner Jason stole some of the cookies before actually eating dinner while I was waiting for Joker Junior to wake. Now I actually had a chance to get a good look at him.good look at him. He wore a purple jacket, orange shorts, and black boots. His hair was a bright green and his mouth had a large cut that made it look like he was always smiling even when he wasn’t. Now I would also include his eyes but they were closed at the moment. A few more hours passed and he still hadn’t woken up. “Jason, are you sure you didn’t put him into a coma?” “I couldn’t have put him in a coma, I barely hit him once!” “You are still stronger than him, you never know!” Joker Junior woke up, his eyes were a bright red.
Jason’s eyes went a bright green. “Where is Tim?!” Joker Junior looked up at Jason before speaking “I’m sorry I just woke up from a horrible hangover a few hours ago and then I realized I was hallucinating when looking in the mirror and then I was hit and knocked out by a crowbar so I’m going to need a few moments to get my thoughts organized, because god are the voices strong right now!” I looked at him, the only thing catching my attention was the hangover part. “I’m sorry, a hangover? Have you been drinking? How old are you?” “Oh shit that’s a hard one… I think I’m seventeen? I don’t remember it’s been a while since I looked at my age which was when I was like what? Fifteen? Fourteen? Maybe even thirteen.” “That’s way too young to be drinking! You shouldn’t be allowed to be near alcohol!” My headache got worse. “Meh not like it matters. You win some, you lose a few hundred!” He laughed at that when Jason pushed the seat he was tied to over as he fell over he yelped loudly. “Hey! That wasn’t very nice!” “That’s why I did it you little-” “Jason don’t you dare finish that sentence!” “It’s not even my fault I’m here! I’m just as confused as you! One second I’m fixing my lipstick, and the next I’m in a bathroom I don’t recognize next to a really weird picture!” Jason checked his pockets to find the rest of the deck of cards all having the letters “JJ” on them like the one I found and a picture of Tim and a blonde dude. “So your name is JJ?” “Yep!” “So… JJ do you know who the blonde guy is?” “Nope!” Jason looked at me like he couldn’t believe I was actually being nice to him.
I untied him after I convinced Jason that keeping him tied up will do nothing to help us find Tim. We could already tell that JJ wasn’t exactly our Tim, because of a few things he said like not remembering his birthday since he was thirteen. Which most likely meant there was an alternate reality he was from and that Tim was stuck in there now. “So… What do you normally do?” “I guess I just do pranks and stuff sometimes I just kill someone or something!” I heard Jason scoff at that “I don't see why we are letting him walk around.” “Look as long as someone who isn't Damian supervises him and he doesn't hurt anyone then he should have the right to walk around.” “That doesn’t matter! He shouldn’t have that right! We don’t know how many people he’s killed” “Todd I wouldn’t recommend you use that excuse. Especially because we don’t know how many people you’ve killed. With the same logic you're using then maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to be walking around.” Jason scoffed at Damian’s argument and walked off clearly mad.
Me, Damian, and JJ were walking in town. JJ had a hoodie on with a mask so no one got a good look at his face or hair so they couldn’t associate him with the Joker which would’ve been very bad for us. Luckily no one saw him. Until we ran into a blonde boy with blue eyes he saw his eyes and grabbed his arm. “Tim?” JJ looked him in the eyes and the boy looked shocked like he knew something was wrong, but how did he know Tim? His eyes took a look at a sorrowful side before he hugged JJ “I’m not sure what happened but please get better.” He let JJ go with hesitation. I started walking off with JJ close behind me when I noticed JJ glancing at the boy. “Everything okay JJ?” “Yeah it just felt like I was supposed to know him.” When walking off I noticed something in the corner of my eye. I turned around and only saw a mirror with people walking by. That was weird. I could’ve sworn something else was there.
