Batman arrived at Arkham Asylum at three o'clock on the dot. Even after all his reasoning, he was still terrified. He'd never done anything like this before, not as Bruce, and never in a million years as Batman. But this was the only form his love knew him in, so he took a deep breath and plunged through the gates. Batman shook his head.
"The things I do for love."Once again, the same guard slid back three bolts, she unlocked two padlocks, and typed in at lightning speed a four-digit passcode to a small pad on the wall. Batman took in for the second time the padded walls all around, the small interview table which had been prepared for his visit again, the metal bed and thin blanket on the other wall, it was eerily similar to his last visit. But this time would be different. Batman looked at him, already sat down at the table. He saw that the Joker was still crumbling under his jaunty exterior, and Batman blinked back tears. He turned to the guard and said commandingly,
"Leave us." She nodded, and, without a word, closed the door and was gone.
Batman took a deep breath.
"Joker, I've come to tell you something." He did his best to look assertive, then noticed the security camera in the corner. Batman didn't know if he could do this with an audience.
"Oh shit, the security cameras better not work." he mumbled.
Joker had his head in his hands.
"Don't worry, I broke that ages ago. Apparently they 'don't have the expenses required yet' " Joker mocked. "I heard a few of the guards talking about it the other day."
Batman was confused at the sudden change in behaviour since their last talk.
"Uh... okay. So anyway, I came to..."
The Joker cut him off.
"No, today is a time for confessions. Me first. Do you want to know why I've been torturing you all these years?"
Shocked, Batman gave a vague mumble in the affirmative.
"I had a crush on you. Ever since you defeated me as Red Hood when I got roped into criminality, I have pursued you, showed off for you, even gave face like I was okay for you in this god-awful place. All because I loved you."
