Joker and Penguin ended up just walking out of the Ocelot.
Bruce Wayne did look at them once as they walked out, Joker having eaten nothing and Penguin having eaten his fish food or whatever.

Surprisingly, Bruce did nothing. He just let them walk out.
A little weird to Joker, but he decided it didn't really matter because the two of them were out on the street already.

"So," Penguin asked, staying by the Joker's side, even though they were in a rich part of town, "where are we going now?"
"Well.. we could go find you more clothes." Joker said. He began counting on his fingers the things that they could do. "Go to the park, plot on killing Batman.."

He smashed into somebody, and Penguin gasped.
"Watch where you're going." Snapped Joker, looking up. The pair stopped walking completely.

"Edward Nygma?" Gaped Oswald.
"How are you doing, Mr. Penguin? Joker?" Smiled Nygma.
"What are you doing here?" Joker asked. "You're probably broke. What are you doing in the richest part of Gotham?"
"I'm sure you are just as poor as me, Joker." Sighed Ed, cleaning his glasses. "I'm taking a walk."

Indeed Riddler was wearing a black shirt with a question mark on it, and khaki pants. Over the green shit he wore a knitted brown sweater.
"Very fashionable, Ed." Joker mumbled.

"Hey, um.." Oswald piped up. "Do you wanna come with us somewhere? W..we were just walking around." He got flustered, unable to meet the Edward's eye.

Joker grimaced, wanting to object, but as he was about to, Ed actually smiled at Oswald, looking down.
"I would like to join you, Oswald." He said, his face tinting a little bit.

Oh my gosh.
Joker thought.
The Riddler is going to kill him.

"Okay. You guys wanna go get ice cream or something?" Asked Joker, hesitant since Edward had once betrayed him for who knows why.
"Yes!" Penguin exclaimed, jumping up. Joker laughed.

"We're not paying, right? We can just rob them." Nygma stated.
"Obviously. We're not stupid, Ed." Said the Joker, and the three of them turned out of Diamond District and into Old Gotham where the GCPD was and some of the other shops, Edward and Joker on either side of Oswald.

At Dilly's Creamery, the three of them scared away every customer, and the cashier was positively shaking.
"One chocolate chip scoop with a strawberry cone." Ordered Penguin, and stole a glance at Ed before become as red as the strawberry ice cream cone.

"Pistachio with a waffle cone." Said Edward, cleaning his glasses.
Joker shook his head, signaling he wasn't getting any.
"What's wrong with YOU?" Edward scoffed, turning to the Joker. "Do you not like ice cream?"
"I'm not hungry right now, Nygma; it literally 11 in the morning." Joker stalled.

"It's 12 now." Oswald commented, holding up his watch so the others could see the time.
"Where'd you get your watch?" Edward asked. "It's the neatest watch I've ever seen, I think."
Oswald blushed lightly.
"I don't remember."

Joker rolled his eyes.
"Oswald, you got that from Gotham City Jewelers. Remember?" He reminded him.
"I fucking knew that, stupid." Penguin put the watch back in his pocket.
Nygma actually giggled, putting his glasses back on, which caused Penguin to smile, and Joker to glare at them both.

Soon enough the lady came back with Penguin and Riddler's ice creams, and nervously held out her hand for the cash.

Penguin took the opportunity to lean forward and spit in the palm of her hand.
The three of them ran out of the store, laughing, and leaving the woman with a hand full of sticky spit.

"You're disgusting!" Joker teased Penguin as Penguin licked his ice cream.
They got to the end of the road and we're about to cross onto the street where Joker's tent was, as it looked like it was going to rain again, but a shadow leapt in front of them.

"Batman?" Exclaimed Joker. "What do you want?"
"We didn't see you at Bruce's party." Penguin said, holding his ice cream cone in two hands. "I thought you guys were roommates or something."

Batman's stance softened a little, either noticing that Penguin looked like a kid compared to Joker and Riddler, or he was remembering Penguin's breakdown and he was trying to be a little softer on them.

"You stole from Dilly's Creamery." Batman said.
"No shit, Sherlock." Joker mumbled. "What does a broke guy have to do to get some ice cream around here?"
"You also spit in her hand." Batman turned to Penguin, who picked up a chunk of his ice cream and threw it on the Bat.

It stuck to his armor like tape, and began sliding down, leaving a white trail in its wake. Oswald giggled.
"I will send you all back to Arkham." Growled Batman.

Joker's brain stopped functioning, and the three of them went completely still in fear, remembering the torture they'd all endured while inside.

"Y-you can't do that!" Penguin stomped his foot on the ground, nearly dropping his ice cream cone.
Batman glared at them.
"You all look ridiculous."

"Shut up, Batman! You can't take us to Arkham for.. robbing an ice cream store!" Joker laughed.
"No, but you also took food from Bruce Wayne's breakfast party." Batman said.

"He let us!" Penguin started shaking slightly, Joker hoped the Bat didn't notice.
"He called me right after." Batman growled. "And I will have no problem taking down the three most wanted criminals of Gotham who are wearing sweatshirts and holding ice cream cones."

"Can you just leave us alone? It would be greatly appreciated." Nygma held up the "ok" sign with his free hand.
"Yeah, I mean, give us a break. I'm sure you want a break as well." Joker said.
"Of course I do, but you lunatics keep robbing stores so I can't catch a fucking nap." Batsy grumbled. The Joker laughed.

"Right, so get the hell out of here, I just want to go home." Joker said to him.
"Just this once, I'll let you go." Batman sighed, turning to Penguin as the ice cream on his bat suit dropped onto the ground.
Batman grabbed a chunk off of his uniform and pulled his arm back, ready to throw it on Penguin.

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Batman said after a pause, as Penguin flinched before the Bat even threw the ice cream.
"He's scared shitless of you, Batman!" Yelled Joker, putting his arm in front of Oswald's body.
Penguin was flinching hard, his whole body turned away from Batman, and his eyes were closed tightly. Penguin absentmindedly dropped his chocolate chip ice cream on the ground, due to a shaky hand.

"He's just a kid, okay!?" Joker said, meeting Batman's eye. "You don't know what he's been through!"

Edward put his arm around Oswald, who hesitantly stood back up straight.
"Fine, if you're going to throw that thing, throw it at me instead!" Joker said angrily.

Batman disgustedly dropped the ice cream on the ground.
"Get out of here while you have the chance."

The three villains ran past the Bat, the wind from them blowing his cape back as he stood there glaring at the ground.

"Aww, it's alright Penguin, don't cry!"
Batman heard the Joker say.

"Don't baby me!" Oswald's raspy voice said. "I'm not crying!"
"Here, it's okay, you can have my ice cream." Edward said quietly.

Batman shook his head and shot a grapple on top of a building, disgusted to have chocolate chip ice cream splattering his front.
