Chapter 5: Bruce Wayne's Problem

Batman arrived back at the BatCave a mere twenty minutes later. He was troubled by his earlier encounter with the Joker, but tried not to let it get to him too much. He busied himself by chatting with Computer while he removed his Batman suit and became Bruce Wayne once again.
"Hey, computer."
"Hello, Batman, sir. Alfred is upstairs grouting the tiles in the twelfth bathroom." his AI helper replied.
"Ok, thanks. Did I get any mail while I was out?" asked Bruce.
"You received a letter from the orphanage, a coupon for the new Italian restaurant down the road, and an invitation to dinner with Barbara Gordon, from the Commissioner." it recited.
"Ugh. I don't know why everyone keeps trying to set me up with Barbara. I mean, she's okay, but she's also really judgy. Anyway, I don't even like her like that." affirmed a rather annoyed Bruce Wayne.
"Shall I decline it then, sir?"
"No, no, no. That'll look bad in the press. Accept, but make it clear in the reply it will be a strictly professional meeting."
"Okay, sir. Is there anything else?"
"No thanks, computer. I'm going to my office."
It was still raining. Bruce, however, felt different. Lighter, somehow, but extremely confused as well. Why did he feel like this? And above all, why couldn't he get the Joker out of his head?
