Heroes and villains are supposed to be enemies. Not supposed to, are 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 to be opposites for eternity! It has been like that for years and supposed to be for more to come, however, that has been defied for the first time...
There's nothing quite so unnerving as coming across pictures of your own face in unexpected places. Batman stared, his mouth going utterly dry, as he moved closer to the walls of Jokers' lair. There had to be photos of him from 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 back- long before he even knew Joker, back when he was just Bruce Wayne. A cold chill ran through his spine.
In files, there were confidential medical records going down to old child health care records, notes on favorite colors, school projects, scans of online activity. Bruce felt infected. Like some awful virus had seeped across every inch of his life. On a shelf, there were specks of blood that must have been swept off the ground after a fight.
"It's impressive, isn't it?" Batman whipped his head around. It was him, Joker. An air of nonchalance surrounded him as he stood opened armed, gesturing with his whole body to the room laid out before him. A lopsided smile, that didn't reach his eyes, appeared on his face, disappearing the moment Batman spoke.
"What the hell?!" Bruce practically yells. "Where did you find this?!"
Joker gives him another sick smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Batty, off topic. What if I want to change?"
Bruce's eyes widen. Change.. Joker wanted to.. change..? "As if," he said, not believing a word that came out of his mouth.
"I will invert your rib cage if you don't," Joker responded. Batman furrowed his brow.. what an unusual threat?
"Fine. But I'll kill you if you try anything," Batman said, still weary about this. But he felt.. strange... like-... like he wanted to believe Joker truly wanted to turn to the good side...
"Yay(o^▽^o)," Joker responded happily. And soon after that, Batman was watching as Joker happily packed his bags. He had somehow convinced Batman to let him stay at his place. Stupid idea on Bruce's part if Joker really was just playing him. But he felt obliged to say yes..
"Let's go Batty!" Joker happily said as he walked out.
"Kill yourself."
