(unfinished) Batjokes

1 - Pretty For Bats

(Disclaimer: Gore :000)

*The Joker's POV*

The Joker laughed to himself as he looked at his beaten victim, strapped down in a janky chair, his body limp as he sat there unconscious. The Joker sat in his own chair, bouncing his leg in anticipation. The worn floorboards creaked at every bounce his leg gave. He had just kidnapped someone that worked close with Jim Gordon at the GCPD, hoping that it would catch Batman's attention. Dust danced around in the air as the creaking filled the lonely, abandoned warehouse. The clown prince was growing impatient.

He could feel his adrenaline spike just at the thought of the man in black. Batman constantly fighting the Joker filled him with a sensation that no one else could fulfill for him- he had grown such a strong attachment to him. He gnawed on the sensation that fighting the dark knight gave him. The adrenaline that would pulsate throughout the Joker's body was immense and he had grown dependent on Batman to give him that high- as if Batman were the Joker's personal drug.

He ran his gloved hand through his green curls, sighing. He got up and was now standing in front of the cop, his body still slouched over. The Joker bent over the man, a freakish grin plastered on his fair-skinned face. He grabbed the mans face in one of his gloved hands, squishing it as he had held it right in front of himself. His breath was practically seeping into the man's pores.

"Wake up Mr. Police man! I want to get the show started already! Bats still isn't here, so I want to bang ya up a bit! Maybe your high pitched screams will help his little bat ears hear us!" The Joker finished with a laugh, jolting the man awake.

The fear in the man's eyes came quick. It didn't take long for him to recognize the horrid sight in front of him- the Joker bent over him with a sharp knife in his hand. The Joker laughed as he watched the cop writhe under his grip.
"Oh don't be such a baby! I'm just gonna cut ya up a bit!" The Joker felt an incredible fresh wave of insanity fill him as those words left his lips. He wanted to see this mans blood create a pool at his feet.

The Joker laughed once a more, twirling the knife in between his fingers. In one swift motion, the Joker then brought the knife up to his victims chin, slicing, separating the skin from his muscle. The man yelled in agony as blood dripped down his chin.

"Ooh this is gonna be so exciting! It's going to be like a costume party- and you're gonna be my costume!"

*Batman's POV*

As soon as Batman saw the glowing bat symbol, gleaming in the foggy night, he raced to Jim Gordon. The lights from cars and street lamps were a white blur as he made his way over to the rooftop of the police station, the honks of cars and the sound of his swift footsteps merely a distant noise in his busy mind.

Jim knew he was there as soon as he heard Batman's grappling hook shoot at a far corner of the rooftop. He hurried after the noise, worry very clear in his face. Batman, standing in front of the man, knew something was wrong. He sensed it had something to do with the Joker- it had to be. The last time Jim had this look, it was because of the Joker. Because of the Joker and Jim's daughter, Barbara. "Jim-" Batman started, but Jim was right ahead of him. He wasn't wasting any time.

"Batman, a police officer by the name of Francis Adams was kidnapped by the Joker. He told us that he was going to take him to some warehouse and torture him- to get your attention! I really don't know what else he's got planned, but Adams knows about your identity, and I fear that may be what he's after. He threatened to kill Adams if we went after him ourselves," Gordon finished, sighing to himself. Batman, turning to face the ledge of the building, clenches his fists. Jim stands beside him, looking out to the city. "Y'know, I'm very worried about this city and it's people," Gordon puts his hand into his pocket and takes out a cigarette, using his other hand to fish out a lighter and light his cig. He puffs a cloud, furrowing his eyebrows. "Although you can be a shifty figure, we're counting on you Batman. I've been in Gotham too long to see it turn to complete shit now," He inhales and lets a gray cloud out into the air. They stand there, silent for a bit. Jim then throws his cigarette on the floor, stepping on it as he heads back to the doors of the building. He opens the door, but when he looks back to the rooftop, Batman isn't there.

Batman quickly finds the warehouse Jim was talking about. The faint screaming was a dead giveaway, and it was one of the very few warehouses in the area. He heads to the floor in which the screams and grunts are coming from, but they suddenly stop as soon as he reaches the door leading to them. He slowly opens the door, the back of a man- who Batman quickly realizes is the Joker in a cop uniform- comes into view.

The Joker seemed to be touching his face a lot, the sound of staples puncturing into something echoed around the room, followed along with the Joker's small grunts. Batman continued to creep up on him, hoping that the Joker didn't feel his presence in the room. As soon as he was right behind the Joker, he stopped moving. He began to laugh, holding his face. Batman now saw that his gloves were fully red.

"Oh Batsy.. You know, it's really rude to keep your date waiting like that. I had to find another way to entertain myself- looks like this guy didn't have as much fun," The Joker finished with a laugh, turning around to reveal Francis' face poorly stapled onto his very own face, bloody and limp. Batman's eyes widened as he watched a corner of the face begin to slide, the staple keeping it in place leaving cuts down the Joker's face.
"Now, Bats- my darling- I know I look absolutely bombastic today, but I didn't expect to be jaw dropping!" The Joker says, the corners of his mouth creeping up from behind the 'mask'. "Now come along Batsy- we've got a lot to talk about,"

(Okay I'm not expecting all my chapters to b this long, but since this was the intro, I decided to make it a bit lengthy. Also I'm figuring this story out as I go so uh..)
