The Joke's On You, Bats! [ 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝙹𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚜 ]

Planning The Joke

The dark night sky seemed to compete with the bright lights of Gotham. There was no star in sight, but who looked at the sky anyways? The clouds seemed to roll in the air with pollution and mystery. What this night holds... No one plans to find out.

Green hair, freshly dyed and wet from recent bathing, hung in a pale face. Long lashes glistened, green eyes peered at a blurred reflection. His infinite grin widened slightly.

"Aren't you a handsome devil?"

His body could be flawless but had scars here and there. He probed one that was over his heart, he blamed the Bat.

"Damn Batarangs..." He growled to himself.

A filthy purple suit hugged his figure but could allow him to move freely. His grease paint already done and ready for a new game. He giggled at the new idea for torment he had. His mind churned out the small kinks and flaws that surfaced. Hell, if it all went according to plan it'd bother him to no end.

The green haired man addressed a few henchmen after his moment alone.

"Listen fools, I need you to rob a bank. The Gotham Bank, no duh, right? Anyways, I dont care how much you steal exactly, just make sure to kill lotsa people and come back here. Make sure the Bat is following ya. Got it!"

When they nodded in unison, Joker kicked up and yelled,"Well don't just stand there, go!"

They all left hurriedly before he could growl something else. Or worse.

He ran to a nearby window and looked out, his grin more mischievous than before.

"Oh, Batsy. A surprise awaits you.."

Harley came bounding down the stairs, already dressed in her costume of mayhem. She grinned at her Joker, putting her arms on his back as he stared out the window. His grin faltered, turning more into a frown.

"How's about we take some days off after this?" She purred, sliding her arms under his and wrapping around his torso.

"Do you really think I'd stop playing games with Bats just to waste time with you?" He growled, shoving her off.

She pulled away and looked up at him, pouting childishly. "Why, Mista J? Don't cha know that sometimes you need to take a break?"

"Breaks don't exist unless there's bones involved. Now, let daddy have his fun or he'll break your arm again!" He growled, not in the mood for any of her games.

"But, puddin'... That's not fair," she whined,"It's like you care more for the Bat than me."

"Don't you see, pumpkin?" He cooed, turning to face her fully, holding her with mock gentleness. Her eyes turned hopeful, maybe a kiss will come.

"I do care more about the Bat than you."

He grinned an evil one, seeing the pain in her eyes and her lower lip quiver. He could literally feel her heartache, his thumb brushed a tear rolling down.

"Ah, there's the reaction I wanted. Absolutely beautiful."

She sniffled and started to smile some, not sure if he gave her a compliment or not, but she'll take what she gets. Not wanting to push him any further, she bounded off to see what the others were doing.

He watched her go, a giggle escaping and eventually whole hearted laughter echoed down the vile halls of his recent hideout. It echoed so far, Harley and his henchmen could hear the bone chilling humor.
