I don't own any DC characters used obviously. Elijah is my oc so please don't steal them. I will be using they/them pronouns when referring to Elijah so that's a heads up. I don't own any images used because my drawing skills are non-existent. THERE WILL BE SWEARING AND SOME TORTURE. I will put a warnings before the chapter starts if there's torture or other horrific scene that could offend people who don't get offended at everything. We'll see how often I update this. TIME FOR THE ACTUAL DESCRIPTION! ~~~~~~~~ The wicked smile wouldn't leave their face; no matter how much they tried, that damned smile wouldn't leave. The Joker left his mark, and it seemed as if he was right there, staring right back at them through the mirror. Looking at what the mirror showed was almost as unbearable as the events that caused the damned smile. Wide eyed and grinning like a fool, Elijah curled up on the cool tile floor, not wanting to see their reflection. But they could still feel that damned smile. The image of that smile and the echoing laugh were burned into Elijah's mind, refusing to leaving. The tears that surged were no longer clear and salty. Instead, they were dark and tasted of iron. Elijah wanted it all to stop, even for a moment, but nothing stopped. Everything continued on, leaving behind a child of hope in the claws of pain and misery.All Rights Reserved
