Mini Joker

Chapter 1

(Journey in the m/m)

So you ask yourself a million times how does it feel to actually be fatherless; to actually have to live under your strict ass mother who basically won't even give you a simple detail as to what he looks like or how he dresses? My answer is I don't know. It's been a whole 19 years and her selfish ass won't even let me dream of him. But if dinner wasn't put on the table, she'd have a fit.

Anyways, My name's Journey and I live in the infamous city named Gotham; where villains like Two-face and Penguin yearn for dominance and where the vigilante Batman makes them think twice. You ask why such a beauty like me lives here? Well initially, my mom was born and raised here and some of her family before she moved down here so it only made sense for me to continue living where my family resides. Let me fill you in on a little something. My family were real life supers like actual people from a different planet who were adored by millions and worshiped for their doings onto the millions and millions of people throughout the galaxy. For some reason I've managed to not even get an ounce of super anything. All I've ever gotten was a bipolar disorder and a desire to hurt people for no apparent reason. Sometimes I can control it; other times I can't. Sometimes I just feel like drifting away because for one, I don't know my dad, two, my mom won't tell me about my dad, and three, I'm crazy as hell so there's no win win situation here.

So to keep myself busy, I've started a skateboard business. It's called 'Journey's Kryptonics '. I love going skateboarding as well as making them. It's not like I own a whole building, its just a small shack my uncle let me have. Plus, my business has been going quite well to the point where I can actually get my own apartment as well as furnish it. I'm not about to live with my mother and her strict ass rules all my life so it's about time I do actually have a life.

*BUZZ*

I looked at my phone and saw that my mom was calling me.

"What could she possibly want now!"

I answered the phone and was greeted by yelling...as usual.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU JOURNEY! I TOLD YOU TO BE AT THIS GOTDAMN HOUSE BEFORE 8 AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?"

"Let me guess...8 o'clock."

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO. YESS IT IS SO BRING YOUR ASS HOME OR ELSE!"

"Mom I'm 19 years of age. I will be 20, practically an adult . While you're at home sitting on your ass all day, I'm actually running a business here to support the both of us. So please enough with the bullshit and I'll be home to give you some dinner that you should have been cooking. See you later."

And with that I hung up the phone and continued to work.

*An hour later*

I started shutting down my skateboard shop and got in my mint green Jeep Renegade and drove to In-N-Out Burger to get me and my mom some food. After purchasing and getting some food for the both of us, I took a short cut to my house. On my way home, I saw two big vans with the word joker on them parked in front of the town bank. My initial thoughts were to keep going but instead I drove into an alley to see what was going on. I noticed a man with a purple suit and green hair laughing hysterically about nothing. As I looked closer, it's like I could see my reflection. Was he like a long lost brother? Was he like an uncle or something? I just couldn't figure it out. I brushed off the thought and started to crank the car up but as soon as I cranked up my car a man dressed in body armor with red and white hearts on it came towards my car with a bob wire covered bat.

"Well well well, what a beauty we have here. The boss could use a new toy to tear apart huh."

I looked at him like he was a joke. Any man who is covered in hearts trying to act tough and hard, isn't a man at all I'd say. Something within me wanted to get out this car and give him a piece of my mind but yet I still forget that I don't carry any special power like my family so I simply just sat there with my hand on the gear ready to switch to drive and speed off quickly. Within the blink of an eye, he broke my car window with one hit and snatched me out the car.

"Let me go you fucking ass wipe"

"Hahaha, we got a squirmer fellas"

"LET ME GO YOU FUCKING MORON."

I kicked him in his balls and immediately he dropped me and he fell to his knees. I felt a rush of adrenaline take over me. It felt like something I've only dreamt of feeling. He looked at me with embarrassment and a one simple tear fell down his face. I pulled the thug up by his face, looked in his eyes and said, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stranger. I'm very crazy and if I were you, I'd run as fast as you can before you and your CRAZY LUNATIC ASS FRIENDS GET HURT!!!!!

I kicked him in his face and got in my car and drove out of the alley. When I passed by the bank, the man I noticed before dressed in a purple suit grinned with his thumbs up at me. Was he congratulating me or something.....? I don't know but something was definitely off about that man.

I drove all the way home and parked in the garage. Thankfully my mom's food wasn't cold because she'd sure have a fit. I got my skateboard out of my car as well as our food and walked to the front door. I took out my key opened the door and put our food on the counter.

"MOM! I'M HOME!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP GIRL. GODDAMMIT I HATE YOU. WHY COULDN'T I BE BLESSED WITH A BOY?"

"And why couldn't I be blessed to be with my dad. Oh how I have had so many dreams about living with him but yet my selfish, stupid, self-centered MOM WON'T EVEN GIVE ME THE LIBERTY TO EVEN KNOW HIM. THAT'S THE ONLY FUCKING THING I ASKED OF YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO EVEN LET ME KNOW WHO MY FA-"

*SMACK*

"I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I COULD TO PROTECT YOU FROM YOUR DAMN FATHER. HE DIDN'T WANT YOU. THE VERY THOUGHT OF HIM HAVING A CHILD TO RAISE MADE HIM SICK TO HIS STOMACH. HE THREW YOU AND ME OUT ON THE STREET WITH A DUFFEL BAG OF MONEY AND TOLD ME TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. HE LEFT ME FOR A BITCH HE MET WHEN HE WAS IN JAIL. ALL I HAD WAS YOUR FATHER BUT APPARENTLY HE DIDN'T HAVE US JOURNEY."

My mom began to cry and she sat on the couch with her hands covering her eyes. I walked over to her and sat on the floor in front of her waiting for her crying to settle down.

"Mom I'm sorry for raising my voice but you yell at me everyday for nothing. I cook, clean, soothe you when you're down and all I get is a slap in the face from you...literally. Tell me everything about my dad...please. It's all I ask of you."

She looked into my green eyes and whimpered.

"You have his eyes Journey aha... He was everything and more...An innocent girl I was then would've never even thought of dating a man like him...humph...but I did...Journey, here's how me and your dad met....
