Candy's Sweet Tooth

This Whole Chapter is in the Play

Candy stood on the sidelines as Sweet Tooth recorded a video for the news. Gob filmed while Joe worked the sound, and finally, he was ready to film and taunt the Batman, leading him to his death.

Sweet Tooth slipped into frame, his back to the camera. 'Who can take a sunrise- AH! And sprinkle it with BLOOD!' He flipped around, the big reveal so far going off without a hitch. 'Why hello, Gotham City. It's me- Sweet Tooth. Time for your fa-'

'And Two Face.'

Candy jumped up from her seat. No no no! He's not supposed to be there! Sweet Tooth's anger bubbled up inside him- That idiot has ruined my shot! There's only one thing to do.

'Beat it, Two Face,' Sweet Tooth grinned, not dropping his character.

'Wait but- Y- ugh,' Two Face sighed and walked off.

'Let's try that again, shall we? Hello, Gotham! It's me! I'm sure you've noticed by now that Gotham Square is in my sticky grasp, but just like a kid in a candy store, I've managed to sneak a few extra goodies into my pockets while no one was looking! Let's take a peek at my secret stash, shall we? Oh, and Batman- I sure hope you're watching, because it's sure to make your mouth WATER!'

Candy's giggle echoed from out of the frame, and she threw Robin to Sweet Tooth's feet as he clicked his fingers.

'The boy Wonder Boy!' Sweet Tooth cackled as Candy stepped into the frame behind him. 'Poor Robin. He risks his life trying to be Gotham's Lifesaver, and they hate his guts! But how much? See I'm dyin' to find out! So I've devised a little... a little hmm... Whatchamacallit! A DEATH TRAP! Feast your eyes on this!'

Candy stepped to the side, twirling her arms and presenting Sweet Tooth's secret weapon. 'My NUCLEAR WARHEAD! At exactly 5AM tomorrow morning, I will lower the Warhead into the city's water supply. Oh, haha- it's going to be quite the Fun Dip! Because the warhead will make the water so tart, that anyone who drinks from it... Well perhaps I should just show it to you! Let's give it a lick, shall we, Miss RACHEL DAWES!'

Candy once again twirled her arms as Gob and Joe forced Rachel into the place next to the Warhead. 'NO! PLEASE DON'T!'

Sweet Tooth was not patient, and this was no time for virtues. 'It puts the Warhead on it's tongue,'

Gob held Rachel's nose and pushed her towards the large Warhead. 'Or else it gets the hose again,' Candy finished, a surprising malevolence in her tone.

Not wanting to go through the horrid torture again, Rachel licked the Warhead. Candy giggled and jumped up and down, and Sweet Tooth's plan grew closer still to it's goal. Now was the time that Candy and Sweet Tooth had been waiting for.

This better work, Candy thought, her giggle piercing Gob and Joe's eardrums. Suddenly, there was a squishy splat.

Candy burst into even more hyper fits of giggles, and Sweet Tooth almost fell to the ground laughing. Robin, disgusted, hid behind his cape. Sweet Tooth then remembered why he was doing what he was doing, and turned to the camera.

'That's right- HER HEAD IMPLODED! Just like all of Gotham's will- unless Skittle me this.' He pulled a bag of Skittles up to his ear and shook it, tempting Candy to snatch it away and devour them. 'Will Gotham forsake it's heroes, or will it's heroes forsake Gotham? See I've set up a Facebook poll, and for the next 7 hours, I'll be taking votes from the Gotham populous. The moment the sun rises, I will either lower the Warhead into the sunny city's water supply... Or I will kill Robin.'

He stopped for a second, the sudden malicious tone taking the place of his light-hearted candy theme for his final words. 'So it's all for the people of Gotham to decide! Do I implode your heads, or put a bullet in the Boy Wonder's?'
