Bruce stood on the rooftop in silence. His covered eyes glaring at the tall building in front if him. It was empty, abandoned. Not a single sign of life inside.
He was waiting for someone. For a very important person. Someone that was going to arrive any minute now.
"I have arrived batsy!"That oh so familiar voice shouted
Joker appeared on the rooftop, that smile still as wide as ever.
"Now what brought you to invite me this time?"he smirked as he went to him" Another interrogation, a trap to send me to Arkham?"
Bruce didn't say anything and just stared at the building.
"This building was originally supposed to be an extension of my company, but due it's bad condition it is now am abandoned area. No worth, no purpose."
"And what does that have to do with me?"He said smugly
"I-!"
BOOM!!!
The building was engulfed in a loud explosion. Spread debris all over the area. The building engulfed in yellow, red and smoke. It was so unpexted that it even shocked the Joker of all people.
"What the-?"
"Happy birthday darling"
Birthday?
Joker slowly turned around to his wife, as Bruce smiled sweetly at him.
"I know how much you love explosions, so I set up bombs to go off the moment you arrived "
"My birthday is today?"He said disbelief
"Not necessarily, I couldn't figure out what your real birthday was"he said"So I decided to give you one"
Joker felt a sense of joy filling his body. Tears began to form on is eyes as Bruce smiled so sweetly at his face.
"Bats...you didn't have to do that for me"he smiled
"Of course I would, I love you"he said"and as your wife I will please you every day, till the day we die"
His smiled widened.
"I want you darling, please take me!"
"After what you did for my special day..."
He pulled him over for a kiss.
"I'll give you all the love in the world"
2 hours earlier...
Ever since he first met his father, he was never allowed in a certain room in the batcave. It was forbidden. Even now as an adult he still never dares to enter the old man's secret room.
But now he was curious, what was he hiding?
Was it more contingency plans?
A weapon?
Perhaps some secret diary?
He can no longer stay out from his promise.
He needed to find out what was inside. Or else he'll never know until Bruce dies.
So he moved the shelf away to reveal the door. His hand gripped on the door knob, and he opened the door wide.
There was darkness. Pitch black. Not a single thing in sight.
He reached for the light switch, but that decision turned out to be the worst mistake of the night.
With one flick the lights turned on. At that moment his eyes widened in horror.
The thing he saw in that room could be described as unspeakable.
The walls were filled with pictures of the Joker. The word 'Darling' being written over them. There were tv monitors playing all of the news highlights and videos of him and his crimes. There was journal on top of a podium in the middle.
It looked obsessive.
Insane.
And down right mad.
"What the hell?"He said in complete horror
There has to be an explanation for this. No way he-
His eyes were now on the journal.
He picked up the journal in his hands and opened the first page.
It was 30 years ago. The day Bruce and the Joker first met.
There was a new Villain in gotham. He was known as the joker.
I knew who he was. He was the man who fell into those chemicals and lost his mind.
Despite all the havoc he did tonight. I cannot help but feel bad for him.
If only he didn't fall in there. I partially feel guilty for it.
But at the same time, I hope that one day. I can find a way to help him.
It seem pretty normal at first, but the more he read the journal the more obsessive and pervaded it became. He practically became obsessed with the joker. And he was now at the most recent entry.
Today.
Darling never had a birthday in his life. I want to do something special for him.
So I'll be setting up bombs on that abdoned building I was about to use. I ensured that no one was there, and I left him a video.
This is going to be the best birthday ever! My husband will love it.
I can't wait until we make love tonight. I brought toys!
It was at that moment that Jason realized, thar his own father was completely out of his mind. He suepected something was off between them, but would've never expected something like this
But it only got worse, as he read the last line on the page.
I know you're reading Jason.
His heart sunk.
Immediately he placed the journal down turned off the lights and left the room. He closed the door and blocked the door with the shelf. Before running upstairs to head to his room to forget what he-!
"So you went in that room, after I told you to stay away"
He froze. Bruce was there. Colder than ever.
"W-w-what!?"He exclaimed sheepishly "Of course I wasn't in there old man, you know me!"
"But I also knew that you wouldn't keep that word forever'
"...Fine you got me"he sighed lowly",But still, what the fuck was that!?"
"Oh that?"He said "It's just a culmination of years of my time with him, I couldn't take it anymore"
"...How long?"
"10 years ago"he said softly"I didn't want anyone to find out, but he did"
"?"
"I wanted to end it all that night, until he revealed to me how much he loved me, and cared for me"
"The joker loved you?"
"How ironic don't you think?"He chuckled softly"But it all made sense, I was the one who gave him meaning and purpose, no matter how many times I stopped him it turned out to be the best moments of his life, he was a man with no past nor purpose, and tonight u want to give him something so special that he will finally understand why I wanted him for so long"
"...I suppose you are right"
"How strange, I thought you were going toyell at me and never want to see me again"
"You know most of that anger was from the Lazarus pit" he sighed"I was wondering why there hasn't been any crimes involving him for a while, so you had something to do about it"
"I guess in a way I did solve a problem " he smiled sweetly"To be frank, I was never in my right mind to begin with, maybe that's why we both connect so much"
Jason nodded.
"Just please promise me something old man"
"Yes"
"Don't get into trouble"
Bruce chuckled slightly and patted his back.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere"
In the present time the two lovers were laying together on top of the roof top. As they kissed each other with pure passion and love.
"Thank you"Joker said softly"I love you"
Bruce smiled sweetly at his face.
"I love you too, darling"
