Batman x Joker What Would I Do Without You

Chapter 2

Batman's POV

Batman sat in his batcave one day, checking his giant computer monitors for any crime going on. It seemed as though nothing was happening today. The streets were clear, most citizens seemed happy, everything was going completely great for once. It made Batman suspicious, he especially expected the Joker to be up to something. He began to worry and decided to call commissioner Gordon to see if anything more serious might be going on without his knowledge of it.

The phone rang, "Hello Batman, What seems to be the trouble?"

"Nothing much has been going on today, why the city so peaceful? Is there something bad guys are planning that I don't know of?!?"

"Relax, I haven't heard anything bad at all, maybe you can finally take a day off of fighting crime after all these years" Gordon joked to lighten Batman's mood some.

"Alright, I can't help but worry though, you know how I feel about putting this city's needs before anything else." He said starting to calm down a bit.

"It's understandable, I'll talk to you later though if anything should pop up"

With that Gordon hang up the phone and Batman decided to patrol the city on his own for a while. Better to spot something in person than on a screen he thought.

Joker's POV

Joker had been sitting in his hideout, and none of his henchmen were around since most of them were in Arkham and haven't tried escaping yet. Harley Quinn was in the same room as Joker and she decided to try and make her sugarplum happy since he seemed so down in the dumps today.

"Hey puddin, what's so wrong today?" She asked attempting to give him a hug.

Joker pushed her down and started pacing around the room to think.

"I don't know what to do about that damn bat." He said sounding more angry at himself than anything.

Harley couldn't stand seeing him like this,"How about we go blow up something, or terrorize some people? That always seems to cheer you up Puddin."

Joker glared at her, "Today isn't a good day for that, I need to have an emotional day to myself sometimes you know!"

Joker walked up to the roof to be alone, his feelings for Batsy grew stronger everyday and he can't even talk about it let alone even try to express it... Is it wrong to feel the way I do? Am I allowed to show how depressed all of this really makes me instead of hiding behind my reputation as the clown prince of crime? Would Batman just beat him up like always and push him away if he tried to explain any of this to him in person?... So many complicated questions rolled into Joker's mind and he had no real answers for any of them... He decided he would take a stroll around the city on his own. No killing, no being evil, just to have some long overdue time to thing about what happens next in his life.
