Take a joke bats // batjokes

His last laugh

Bats. Bats. Bats.
It's been about three weeks since the last time I saw him. It's been everyday that has followed where I've had the same dream.
Bats.
Swarming in my head almost to the point where I could only see blackness.
Yes, I said it.
Almost.
Something is on the other side. I don't know what it is but, I need to know.
This vision isn't only in my dreams. It is in my daydreams. It's where only I can see them.
"Get out, get out, GET OUT!" I start to shout in my cell. I can feel everyone's eyes on me but I don't care.
How did the bat get my head? Was this something deliberate or accidental? Does it.. even matter anymore?
I need to get out.
Maybe I just need to end this fight once and for all.

Ever since the last time I saw the joker, I've been hearing the same maniacal laugh in my head. Over, and over, and over again.
I choose to ignore it but never does the clown fail to get inside my head and bother the hell out of me.
"Master Bruce?"
"Yes Alfred?" I say, snapping out of my trance.
"It's the joker again. This time he has hostages locked in a building with him. I believe he is asking for your company."
"I'll be right on it." I say, making my way toward the batmobile.
What could he want this time? Why hostages? Could he be asking for a fight this time?
As I arrived, I could see the joker on the top of the building.
"He's asking for you." Said commissioner Gordon.
I make my way to the roof.
"Joker."
"Hey there Batsy. I'm glad you came."
"Why are you doing this?" I say almost worryingly.
"I've been thinking. Well, I suppose it's more like dreaming. I see bats. Why does it feel like I'm connected to you?"
"This is insane. Your insane!" I say, feeling astonished.
"AM I REALLY?!" he says, shouting, moving toward me.
Inhale. Exhale.
"Ok. I've been hearing things. I've been hearing your laugh-"
"Ever since we last met. See!? Something is bringing us together. I know it sounds insane but maybe something is telling us to end this."
"End what?"
"Our fight.." he says, moving toward the ledge.
"Wait. What are you doing?" I say, quickly moving toward him.
"I'm doing you a favor-"
"No. You can't die. Not yet. It's not right. It doesn't feel right."
"Then tell me bats, what the hell does!? My time is up. I'm tired. My story, is over. I can't just keep running around, chasing you, waiting for something to happen. I need closure for god's sake!"
He moves his hand on my chest.
"Tell be batman. Tell me who you are and I'll end something you never would." He says, softly.
I stand there speechless. Maybe he's right..
I take my mask off which makes the man in front of me laugh with surprise.
Our lips meet but what breaks the kiss is the man in front of me moving off the ledge.
It wasn't long until I found myself falling too.
