Don't Believe Everything You Read On the Internet

Chapter 46

        "Bruce, there's something I need to tell you," Joker admitted.

           "Yeah, and what's that?" Bruce asked.

        Joker squirmed in his spot. He didn't want to tell Bruce, even if it would get them out of there. Once Bruce knew how Joker felt about him, he would go and blabber about it to Batman, and then Batsy would break up with him for sure. Not only that, but Bruce was super close with Batman, so he would take his side over Joker's any day of the week. Still, Harley would really get on his case if he didn't at least try to tell Bruce his feelings.

          "I-I really like you....r hair. It just falls in your eyes in a way that screams heartthrob," Joker rambled.

          "You really like it? I don't want to seem like a Superman copycat," Bruce responded, starting to mess with his hair.

          "Nah, Superman's hair looks like he spends a fifth of his day working on it. While I can respect that, there's something about the natural look that has this casual flair."

           "Thanks, but your hair is so much better than mine. Look at it! It's so vibrant."

         "Well, if I'm going to be the most recognizable villain in Gotham, I need to look the part."

       "You certainly do."

       "Why thank you, Bruce! You know, if you wanted to have me give you a makeover some time, you could just come over."

        "I'd like that."

       "Oh, really?"

        "Sure, why not. Hang on, if that's all you wanted to tell me, then why are we still in here?"

       "Pft, I dunno. Maybe we should just try to break the door down."

        "No, there's definitely something else that you're not telling me. Those villains are your best friends, they wouldn't keep you in here longer than needed."

         "How do I know you're not the one with the secret?"

         "Please, these villains don't know my secret! Well, except for Poison Ivy. I'm not sure how the hell she found out."

          "Woah, don't you mean 'how the heck'?!"

          "Sorry, I forgot this was PG. Anyway, can you please tell me your secret?"

          "No, you'd freak out. Tell me yours!"

          "No, you'd freak out. Just tell me yours so we can leave this place!"

          "I don't want to! I value our friendship too much!"

          "I'd be your friend even if you were secretly a giraffe."

         "Ugh, why do you have to be cute at a time like this? Sometimes you can be so impossible."

       "I'm impossible? I'm not the one who's hiding secrets!"

       "You totally are!"

        "Okay, bad example, but other than that, I'm way more level-headed than you."

        "I wear clown makeup! What did you expect?"

       "I expected you to be a bit more open. You've always been the open one, and I'm the secretive one."

         "'Always'? Do we have some sort of history that I'm not aware of?"

        "Eh, yes and no."
