The Cape crusaders.

Joker's Game

"Hey batfreak wakey wakey!" Joker's voice blared over the intercom as Batman came too.
Batman realizes he is tied to a chair in the dark room only light is above his head barely lighting his surroundings. He then freaks when he doesn't remember anything that happened. He tries to get of the chair and tries to wiggle free.
"Don't worry Batsy I didn't peak. Hahaha." Joker says laughing afterwards.
"Where am I and who are you?"
A light flickers on in the room in front of him. There in a chair sits a body with a tv as a head. The body is wearing a purple suit, pin striped. The Tv flickers on and Jokers face is there.
"I'm the Joker, and would you like to play a game?" Joker asks
"Where am I? Joker how did you get me here?" Batman asks still trying to wiggle free.
"Well Batman, I gassed you pretty easy, you should always cover your mouth. Anyways you'll have to play my game to get out a live." Joker replies. "Lets get started."
Half the room lights up and Batman looks around. He looks for ways to get out. Behind him is a man with a battle axe. To his left is what looks like a king with the sword through his head. And to his right is what looks like a queen with a staff. Batman thinks to himself. Well there is a king...God I hope the Joker didn't actually kill him, queen to my right looks like, and behind me is I assume a Jack. Batman keeps looking, there is a door Behind each person except the jack. Batman is interupted by Joker talking.
"Well there is a way out on each side. There is a game of cards in one of the pockets of the king and queen. Once my Jack cuts you free..." Joker started.
"These aren't real people Joker are they?" Batman yells.
Joker replies with laughter, "they were, hahahahah," he continues, "so no cheating. To your left 21, you deal me in. Hahaha. Two cards for each at the count of three we flip each one over that isn't flipped. To the right old maid. If the Joker is in the hand that I delt earlier then you win."
"What do I get if I win? And how do I know you haven't cheated?"
"I knew youd ask that... You'll have to trust I haven't looked. Your queen Will open of you win old maid and loose 21 king opens if you loose old maid....oh you get the point, hahaha."
"Alright Joker I'll play your game and once I get out of here you're mine." Batman promises
"Hahaha good....well lent the games begin." after he says that the Jack opens his hands and drops the axe cutting Batman's ropes.
The Batman jumps up and starts toward the queen when Joker speaks again, "oh behind the king is your belt...a nifty one may I add. And behind door the queen is Gothem's Mayer....or was it the other way around....welp good luck Batman."
"What are you going to do to the mayer?" Batman demanded
"Nothing nothing....if you save her," Joker chackled.
"Joker, nothing better come to harm to her," Batman threatened
The tv goes back and forth from static to Joker's face and him just looking around.
Must have been pre recorded, thought Batman
Batman then runs to the Queen and pulls the cards from where joker said and the tv then comes on again. Batman turns and looks.
"Oh I don't have the Joker card looks like you win Batsy."
Batman looks around the room in all the corners and inspects the clothing of the King from a far. Then turns to see if there was possibly a trip wire from where he pulled the cards.
Did he plan this ahead of is there cameras... Batman continues to think as the door opens. The room on the other side is dark. Batman walks through and the lights come on with a click. The Mayer is sitting in the middle with his utility belt attached to her. On the latch of the belt there is a timer.
Dang, a bomb.
Batman is about to look for away to sdisarm it when the Joker comes on a different screen.
"I had a new friend of mine rig this one up. He calls himself the riddler, you two might meet later on. You must solve his riddle before the timer. If you are wrong when the timer runs out boom! If you are right then it unmatched and you get both....told you I forgot."
Batman looks around and finds a camera, then he realizes that there are no wires.
How is he seeing me? He must be behind a glass or something.
"If it's information you seek, come and see me.
If it's pairs of letters you need, I have consecutively three...Who am I?"
Batman looks at the timer and ponders. Timer reads 2.59 and starts counting down.
"Three minutes bats!" joker yells
Batman ponders all options on his head. The clock says one minute when Batman knows the answer
"A Bookkeeper." Batman says
Then the belt unlaches and falls to the ground as the mayer is muffled saying oh my godsh thanks.
Batman goes and helps her up and cuts the rope on her hands then rips the tape off her mouth.
The tv comes on again and joker is there.
"Well how in the world did you solve that problem? I thought it was hard. Oh well, you win I guess....till next time batsy that was fun."
The door opens and the Mayer runs out and Batman stops at the door way.
"The Jack! Mayer run for safety I'll be back." Batman says.
Then Batman ran to the first room and saw that the man that was holding the ax was gone. And so was the ax.
"The mayer!"
Batman runs out and the building and the Mayer is with the comitioner.
"Thank you Batman, the Mayer is safe." He says.
"The Joker is still loose Gordan. But I'll find him. He is insane but I will get him." Batman replies.
Batman pressed a button on his belt and the batmobile shows up and he jumps in and drives away.
