*sorry I couldn't help to make another Lego Batman themed fanfic. Lego Joker and Batman are just so adorable together!*
Nemesis Anniversary
Jack managed to nab Robin outside Wayne Manor.
He was in a hostage taking kind of mood, and he'd tailed the kid from the latest crime scene. Batman and the GCPD were still preoccupied with the giant armadillos equipped with squirting flowers he had deployed.
With some duct tape, bubble gum, and his natural agility, Jackr had the squirming, struggling Robin in his clutches. He had even rented a nice sinister dark cave for the occasion, too.
"You won't get away with this, Joker!" Robin said, tugging futilely at the duct tape and bubble gum. "Batman will stop you. I know he will."
"Oh, he can try," Jack said, with his manic clown grin. He knew he looked eerie in the semi-blackness of the cave, the only available light throwing his shadow across the walls. "That's what I'm counting on, little Boy Blunder. You're my handy bait. "
"He won't fall into a trap so easily," Robin bit back loyally, but that only made Jack's smile widen.
He had so many plans in mind for Batman. Their Nemesis Anniversary was coming up, marking a milestone date, and Jack was doing a build-up countdown thing. Like the Twelve Days of Christmas, but with less maids-a-milking and more Gothamites-a-screaming.
He had even gotten a pair of matching rings to commemorate the occasion. The rings were both gold with four tiny gems/daimonds embedded on the outside: black, yellow, green, purple -their colors, of course.
Simple but elegant. Jack almost wanted to go all-out, maybe give Batman a locket with his picture inside of it, but Jack didn't want them be like those nemeses. Too obnoxiously obsessed over each other, you know the type.
The ring box would definitely be left on top of a bomb that Batman would be racing to defuse, but Jackr wasn't sure yet if it would be laughing gas or a regular bomb.
"I'm bored," Robin announced. His high-pitched voice echoed shrilly through the cave. He kicked his red booted feet, making a clunk noise against a rock.
Irked at the interruption of his Nemeversary thoughts, Jack snapped, "This is a kidnapping, not a daycare."
"Don't you have TV?"
"No."
"How about a supervillain computer? Batman has a superhero one in his cave."
"I rented this cave. I only had the time to set up the robot piranhas, the lasers, and the giant mallet, but not hook up a supercomputer. Jeez, kid."
"Well, it is the twenty-first century," Robin pointed out. "How about a smartphone?"
"Of course I have a phone," Jack said. He had tried to check the news to see if Batman had finished with the armadillos yet. "...I didn't set up WiFi and the guy in the cave next over locked his," he admitted.
"Great," Robin sighed. He dejectedly kicked his boot on a rock again.
Jack really didn't want to hear more of Robin's whining. It was getting on his nerves. Like always, he had that antsy warm feeling tight in his chest whenever he was anticipating Batman's attempts to thwart his plans.
To calm himself down, he toyed with the velvet box in his pocket, which currently held Batman's ring. He knew Batman would put it on when the day came; he knew. He thought of Batman saying I hate you against the backdrop of the setting sun, their hands clasped together.
