"Well guys, shall we head out?" Joker turned to Ed and Oswald.
"What?" Oswald groaned, still holding his knee.
"Don't you see that? It's Selena!" Joker ran upstairs and into the bathroom, and began putting some liquid white foundation of Harley Quinn's on his face.
"We're going to fight her?" Riddler called up to Joker.

"Why not?" He asked. "And Batman is going to be there."
"So you only care about Batman." Penguin said.
"Pretty much." Joker started on the red lipstick, and once he was done, he threw it into a random drawer.
He heard two sighs from downstairs.
"Fine. Get me my suit please, Ed." Oswald said, and Riddler came upstairs and went into Joker's room to find the suit.

Joker turned off the bathroom light and went into his room as well. He took his clean purple suit and changed into it in the bathroom.
After combing through his curls, he grabbed a couple of guns (including his trusty shotgun) from the cabinet and tucked them into his pocket.
He also grabbed some fireworks and explosives, just in case.

Joker laughed and went downstairs.
"Nygma, do you wanna make a pit stop at your apartment to get your suit?" He asked.
"Can you come get this?" Edward was crouched down at Oswald's waist, trying to button the jacket.
Joker bent down as well as Ed took a step back.
"Suck in please, Oswald." Joker mumbled, and finally got the button closed.

"Yes, I want my suit." Riddler said.
Joker handed a rifle to Edward, and Oswald grabbed a handgun from underneath the couch.
"Okay. Let's go." The trio tied up their shoes and went back into the freezing weather.

They hopped into the Jokermobile, leaving Bear inside, and Joker hit the gas pedal.
He was speeding way above the limit of course, but nobody dared to intervene.
"My apartment. Take a left." Riddler directed, and the van flew left.

"Slow down!" Penguin hissed, flying onto Riddler in the back seat.
Edward groaned.
The Joker's head started to ache all of a sudden, and he only made the vehicle go faster.
They reached the apartment very quickly, and Edward hopped out to run in and get his suit.
Joker grabbed some chewable Tylenol out of the cup holder, and popped three in his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Oswald asked from the back.
"Headache." Joker told him. "Don't worry about it."
"Don't overdose." Warned Penguin, peeking around the drivers seat at him.

The pain felt like it was drilling into Joker's head. He had a pretty high pain tolerance as well, so he knew that it had to be bad.

Hahahahah!

Damn. Here we go again.
He smiled, the laughter starting to cloud up his brain.

Riddler came back just then, with his green suit in hand.
"Change in here." Joker ordered, not meaning to snap at Ed, but it came out that way.
"Okay.." Ed glared, and Joker backed the van out, getting back on the road.

"You have to take a U-turn." Oswald said, obviously trying not to look at Nygma's body as he undressed in the back.
"I know where it is." Joker snapped again, and immediately giggled.
"Jeez, okay." Penguin frowned and looked out the window.
"I'm sorry, I have a headache." Joker grumbled.

Hahaha!

Neither of the others said anything to that. Joker could tell that they were annoyed.
"When was the last time you ate something?" Asked Oswald.
"Does it matter?" Joker rolled his eyes and they pulled up to Gotham Jewelers.
He laughed as he got out of the car before the others could respond.

Joker pulled out his shotgun and laughed as manically as he could, and barged into the Jewelry store.
He saw Selena flip over a table before running up to the roof, followed by a dark shadow.
Everyone in the shop screamed from their hiding places once they saw the Joker enter.

He shot the gun into the ceiling with a bang and laughed again before smiling at all of the rich bitches inside, and ran up the stairs to follow the Bat.
Penguin and the Riddler entered after him, Penguin following Joker upstairs and Riddler staying down to threaten to shoot anyone who gets up, or calls the police.

Haha!

"Where are you, Batsy?" Joker sneered, his eyes fogging up from the laughter in his mind taking him over.
A huge shadow swooped down from above him, and flew down upon Catwoman, who suddenly popped out from behind a metal box.
She unsheathed her claws and slashed as Batman attempted to kick her in the chest.

Joker laughed out loud.
"There you are!" He shot his gun at Batman three times, rapid and without hesitation.
He knew it was Bruce, but something in his head told him to shoot.
Shoot and kill him.
"The Joker?" Grumbled Batman, his attention shifting from Catwoman to him.

Joker grimaced and shot again.
Batman deflected the bullets back towards them, and Oswald narrowly dodged one that came a bit too close to his head.
Catwoman took the opportunity to slip away from the crime scene, and when Batman turned around for a split second to check where she was, she was already gone.

The Bat gritted his teeth angrily.
"You're double-sided!" Batman hissed to Joker, throwing a Batarang as Joker continued to shoot.
Damn.
His round was out.

Hehahaha!

"Cover me!" He laughed to Oswald, who took the chance to fire half of his round at the Bat, a lot of the bullets lodging into Batman's armor.

A siren turned on nearby.

The laugh in his head got louder.

Ahahahaha!

Joker finished installing the new round in his shotgun, and Batman dashed towards him with surprising speed, even for Joker to see.
The Bat pushed Penguin forcefully onto the floor, and Penguin landed hard on his elbows, and screamed in pain.

HAHAHA!

The crazy laughter filled his head and invited him in. Joker had tried to push it away all evening, but now it was just too much.
His head stopped aching suddenly, and a Violet light appeared in his eyes.

The last thing that he remembered was laughing, and taking off across the rooftop.
