Joker 2113 (Part 5)

October 28, 2113
Inside Harley was just as evil as Joker, she just didn't know it at that time. Once joker explained the situation to her she knew exactly who could accommodate the needs of the crew. She informed Joker on the weak Justice system of the Juvenile Facility and how she knew of some deserving girls. "So Harley you say there are 5 girls in there that you can get out and into our clutches, no kidnapping needed? I swear toots I really could love you HAHHAHAHHAA!" Joker cackled at how simply this plan was going to go down. "Ok Har, let's get this plan into action." Joker and Harley held hands like a highschool couple as they skipped to the Van. In the past few hours she took a big liking to Joker. He really wasn't a bad guy inside, he was evil as Satan himself, but he treated her nicely and said sweet things. She was also very attracted to his ruthless nature towards everyone else other than her. For this plan of hers only needed her and him to go off without a hitch. They drove to the Girls center. "Ok Puddin, so you're going to park around back in the bushes while I go inside and round them up. Hide in the bushes and clip a hole in the fence and just wait. Make sure you put your hood up as to not freak them out." Harley pulled on her Lab coat and got out her ID Badge. Joker dropped her off in front of the Facility and road around back the long way so he wouldn’t be seen. Harley walked up to the front gate "Hey Tom, how you doing?" She waved at the security guard as she went in. She walked through these corridors every day for the last 6 months. Today would be her last. "Damn I never got to give my 2 weeks" She mused to herself. When she got to the cafeteria she started asking around. "Hey have you seen Anya today?" blank faces and shaking heads was all she was met with. She decided to check the garden as she knew Anya and her crew liked to smoke cigarettes there when no one was watching. "Well well well, you know the rules about smoking Anya, you’re not even legal to do it yet." She took the cigarette out of Anya’s hand and took a drag. Harley had never smoked in her life, until now. "Oh c'mon Nurse Harley, how you gonna do that and take a drag too, daymn." Harley smiled and gave it back. "Look I been reading your file. I don't think you or your friends should be here. I have a plan I’m gonna help you escape." Anya looked puzzled."Reals, let's do this." Anya was ready to go. Harley pointed at the fence where she saw Joker yesterday taking pictures "Ok go over there, there should be a hole clipped into the fence, go through  it and you'll be outside, then you see those bushes over there? well there should be a Van parked there, get in it and the driver will drive you into the city where he will let you off and you’re on your own from there. He has some money and regular clothes for you." Anya and her crew barely let Harley finish her sentence before they bolted for the hole in the fence. The 5 girls slipped through the hole and dashed to the bushes. They found the van and got in the back. Joker was sitting there hood up. Hey ladies need a lift?" He stifled his laugh. He began driving out of the bushes and intentionally ran over a log. "Shit, that sounded like my tire, gimme one moment girls." He got out of the van. From his hoody pocket he produced a canister of knockout gas that Krane had made. He pulled the pin and threw it in the open windows. The smoke seeped out of the van like a Cheech and Chong movie. He heard a loud "HEY!" then 5 muffled THUDS. He waited for Harley and the van to clear out. He opened the side door and the rear door to let it air out quicker. Harley appeared, "Toots what have I been doing my whole life without you?" Harley smiled. She pulled from her pocket several sets of zip ties. They began cuffing the girls’ hands and feet.
When Anya awoke the boys had already had round one on her and her friends. Her whole lower half hurt like she had been put in  a blender from the waist down. Her nipples were sore. She looked down through watering eyes and saw she was naked. She looked around and there were 3 guys having sex with Jana while another group was doing something to Amy. Then she caught the eye of a  short chubby kid that waddled like a penguin when he walked. "Hey guys look that one's awake" The guys all turned their attention towards her. "Oohh now the real fun begins" Said the big one in a tank top. Form the other room all Joker and Harley heard was a blood curdling scream of "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Joker turned to Harley "Well I guess that means at least one of them is awake. Wow I should have went into porn with these guys instead of crime. They've been in there for 2 hours." Harley bore a smile evil enough to match Joker's "Too bad so sad, I always told Anya that one day they would get their come uppins, instead they're getting cummed on, I suppose that is about the same." She and joker laughed manically. Joker was ready to continue his master plan. Halloween was only a few days away. He walked into the room where the crew was. OK boys it's time to...holy hell what the fuck are you doing?" Joker was actually shocked at the position they had this poor girl in. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Joker "You know what I don't care but if you break your toys I will not replace them so be careful, anyway c'mon wrap it up we got things to do." The guys dropped Anya on the floor like a brick. Her body hit the ground with a smack that sounded like a pimp slap times 50. They zipped up their pants and started to walk away. "Ah ah ah, what did I just tell you boys. Clean up your toys or I will take them away." The boys went and picked up the girls and dragged or carried them over to a wall that had hooks on it. Bayne hooked each of the girls up by their zip cuffs. When the boys had cleared out Kat walked in and strolled right up to Anya. "Hey bitch, now who's in control?" Kat smiled. Anya lifted her head but could not speak. Kat raked her long sharp nails across Anya's bare chest. Anya opened her mouth to scream but Kat grabbed her tongue before she could let out a sound "What's the matter? Kat got your tongue? HAHHAHA. Enjoy your break cause these boys didn't seem even close to done with you HAHAHHA...." She walked away and you could hear her laugh fading down the hall. When she walked in the room the whole crew was looking at Joker. She sat down next too Rose. Rose held her hand. "Ok kiddies, now that everyone is here Uncle Joker has some things to tell you. Ok First off, you lil fuckers better say thank you to Harley, we may be criminals but that's no reason to not have manners." The boys all said "THANK YOU!" in unison and then started clapping. Harley Curtsied like a princess and bowed her head. Joker pulled out a cartoon sized mallet and started to bang on the dilapidated desk he was using as a podium. "OK Ok simmer down, next we got a problem..." He pulled down a bed sheet revealing an enlarged picture of Batman "This is our problem. The Bat. Now my intention is to be a thorn in his side, and thanks to you guys so far so good, however, he is getting close. We need to do something, something BIG to keep his attention for a lil bit. And thanks to our newest recruits Kat and Rose we have a plan, so it's going down like this...."
Batman was pacing in the Batcave. "It's been 2 days and not a peep from this maniac, I don't trust it." He said to himself out loud. "Computer still no hit on that sample?" Computer pulled up the chemical makeup of some residue Batman found at the Boys detention facility. "Sample is a type of ink. It has chemical residue of aluminum on it. No other identifying properties have been found." Batman continued pacing, he contemplated calling Joker on the walkie talkie but he did not want to instigate that lunatic any further. BEEP BEEP BEEP. Computer started to blare an obnoxious beeping sound. "Police report another kidnapping. This one happened at the Gotham Girls Juvenile Facility. 7 Girls are missing. There doesn't seem to be any foul play however  with the other recent kidnapping from the boys’ facility this may not be a simple escape plan."
Batman didn't like this, Joker was taking Kids . What was he gonna do with them. Batman was very worried about the children and their safety. Joker seems very unstable and dangerous. Batman hopped in the Batmobile. "Computer, set course for Girls Facility, engage autopilot." The Batmobile took off. " I hate driving this thing out in Daylight but it’s too far to walk."
When Batman arrived he parked in the woods about a quarter mile away and walked through the forest to his intended goal. Along the way he scoped every bush tree and shrub. When he got to the detention facility he immediately saw the hole clipped in the gate. He used the suits zoom mode to get a closer look while remaining in the distance. there were police everywhere. From the corner of his eye he saw something in the bush to his right. He bent over and picked up a canister. It had a hand written "K" painted on it. He then also noticed the tire marks in the dirt. He took a dirt sample as it has some odd greenish chemical residue. He also took the Canister he found and some pictures of the tire tracks. "Hopefully these clues will lead me to this dirtbag." Batman could hear the police making their way over to the bush he was in. He was out like a flash of light into the woods.
"Joker?" Krane stood before Joker looking very timid yet pleased with himself. "I've been working on a mutation serum, I’ve tested it on some of the rats lingering around and well....I think you're gonna like the results." Joker was interested. Krane bid for him to follow and Joker did. When they got in Krane's Lab it was nothing like Joker had left it. All the beakers and tubes were in use. They all seemed to have some purpose. There were several rows of cages each filled with rats. Some of the rats looked malnourished and deformed, however some of them looked incredibly healthy, maybe too healthy. One was the size of a medium house cat. "Well as you can see test subjects AA-BE are flops, they have all sorts of side effects and deformities, however as you can see from my 3 pets here, my ZUES OMEGA formula works wonders now that it’s been perfected. I would like to start on human trials." Joker sat there poking the cage of the extremely large one. "Huh what ? oh yeah go ahead, you need some test subjects?" Krane looked at him indignantly. "No, I’ve done my testing and I’m sure it will work on humans I was just wondering if any of the boys wanted to volunteer." Joker took his attention from the Super rat. He glared at Krane like he was very upset "So let me get this straight, you're positive that this stuff will work on humans and to test it you wanna use one of your own crew?" Krane cowered before Joker. Joker got closer. His menacing stare subsided and a huge grin came over his face. "Sure go for it, let’s see who wanna do it." Joker walked past Krane and rang his watch buzzer. "Boys meet me by Krane’s Lab" He spoke into the watch. Within seconds the entire crew gathered in front of Krane's door. "Ok Boys, Brain, uh I mean Krane here says he has a formula that can transform you into SUPER VILLAINS, powers and all that, so now the big question is,....Who wanna go first?" They all looked at each other but no one spoke up. Then Bayne stepped up. "Fuck it I’m game, what kinda powers we talking here?" Krane piped up, "Depends on you. The Serum I made was meant to enhance your natural abilities, so it depends on person to person. However I have been able to splice DNA and give the rats abilities from other animals, for example my Ratfish...." Joker stepped in front of him and put his hand over his mouth. "Look bottom line he says it works and we need to try it out you in or what Bayne?" Bayne kept his natural demeanor of "just too cool to be here" and nodded. "Good, go with him and let’s see what he can do."
Krane and Bayne closed the door of the Lab. "Ok big guy, so you care about what exactly we gonna do or can we skip it and get to work?" Bayne, being a boy of few words just looked at Krane. "Right then let’s get started. Imma need ya to step in this enclosure." Krane pointed to something that resembles a large test tube, big enough for a human to stand in. Bayne complied silently as usual. When Krane closed the doors he could see a nervous shine in Bayne's eyes. Is the big guy really claustrophobic? Krane pondered this for a moment. Fear always intrigued him. He thought about his other experiment. soon enough for now he need to concentrate. Bayne stood there looking unphased, thought Krane saw differently. "Ok Big guy you ready? now you're gonna have to hold your breath a minute so take a big one then imma drop some liquid on you." Bayne sucked in a whole forests worth of oxygen. when he gave the thumbs up Krane dropped the putrid looking green liquid on him. Bayne just stood there. nothing happened. Krane was puzzled. Some sort of mutation should have been achieved. Krane went above Bayne to check the top of the large vial. He opened a small cover to take a sample of the goo. as he reached in to collect the sample a vial dropped out into the  goo. The cork immediately melted. "Oh shit" Krane had just dropped a whole lot of adrenaline into the tank. "Oh shit" He hopped off the giant tube. "Oh shit" he went to the controls and tried to drain the liquid inside. At this point Bayne was starting to struggle to hold his breath. “Don’t worry B, I'm working on it and ill have you out of there in a sec." Krane was lying through his teeth as the controls were not working. His computer froze. "Ohshit" he needed to reboot. at minimum that would be another 2 mins and 17 seconds before the computer rebooted and he pulled up the control program. Bayne was clearly losing air. He was panicking, All of a sudden he started to grow. He eventually capped out at 7ft.HA was struggling and thrashing about when his fist broke the Shatter proof glass. The big guy was REALLY BIG now. Bayne Gasped for air. He stood up and directed his attention at Krane. He grabbed Krane up by his throat.
"Puddin, they been in there awhile I’m starting to worry. you should go check on them." Harley had the look of a concerned mother. Joker rolled his eyes. "Fine, I’ll go check on....." He didn’t even have a chance to finish his sentence when he heard a crash from inside the room. Joker burst in the room to find some giant monster  lifting Krane by the throat off his feet into the air. "Why for ju tries to khiel meh huh?" Joker looked closer "Bayne?" Bayne turned to him and said "Joker dis lil egghet jus triet to drown meh?" Krane wiggled his legs in an attempt to get free but Bayne's grasp had the force of a crocodile's jaws. "It was an accident, the computer malfunctions." He wheezed through a half closed windpipe. Joker was still in awe of Bayne. He was HUGE! Jokers trademark wicked smile crept across his face like cat stalking prey. "Bayne my boy, You’re HUGE! Nerd boy over there did that for you, calm down and enjoy your new being." Bayne considered this.  he put Krane down and began to relax. He also began to shrink. "What the....Bayne is small again, well small for him, Brain what the fuck happened?" Krane looked just as shocked. A shoulder shrug was all he managed to reply with. Joker didn't even know how to reply to that so he did like he normally would when he was at a loss for words and instigated the situation. "You know what fuck Bayne you were right, he's useless go ahead and kill him, I mean he did try to drown you." At the mere mention of the drowning Bayne got furious again and sprung to his previous state of largeness. "Wait a second I got it, Bayne don't kill him, calm yourself again. Bayne stopped in his track "But Yoker, him has triet to khiel meh, you even says so..." Joker stopped him, "listen just trust me on this one. calm yourself. Hey egghead, why for him talk funny" Joker mocked Bayne's Russian caveman accent. Again Krane shrugged, but this time he had a theory. "All I can assume is that since he had to gain so much muscle mass so quick that his brain hasn’t had time to catch up." Bayne was back to his normal size. "Excellent" Joker said, "Ok let’s do the rest of the crew, hell I might step in there myself. HAHHAHAHA" Krane shook his head," Impossible, That hulking mass of person broke my administering chamber. imma need a new one. I was previously using one of the glass vats used for storing the soda made, alas twas the last." Joker was not happy about this. then he had an idea. "Ok c’mon group meeting." He B-Lined for the door. As he walked he called a meeting over the walkie watches. When he arrived at his quarters the entire crew was there, including normal Bayne who had followed him like a puppy the entre walk. "Ok boys...and Girls, sorry still getting used to that, ANYWAY, we need to put the previous plan on hold so we can get Krane some supplies so you can all have powers like Bayne over here." Deuce was the first to speak up "Well he don't look like he changed much to me... " Joker interrupted him,” watch this, Hey Bayne, Deuce over here said your mothers a dirty whore and he may actually be your dad" Bayne almost blew a fuse. He got a pulsating vein in his forehead and within seconds he grew tremendously. "Whoa Calm down, I was Just Kidding Bayne, I was just testing something. So it seems that whenever you get angry or stressed you become that thing that you become. anyway you were saying Deuce? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA" Deuce stood there in silent awe of Bayne’s massive figured. Bayne Calmed himself down, and shrank back to his normal size again. "Ok kids, Krane needs some supplies, and with Bayne’s new found strength this should be cakewalk. Bayne, go take the last 2 rows of seats out of the school bus. Everyone else go to the school bus and pile in the front. Harley you can ride on my lap....HAHAHHAHAHA" Harley clapped like a school girl giggled and ran to the bus. Bayne had already torn out the seats when Harley arrived. She stood in front of the bus door like a school teacher herding her class for a field trip. The kids piled in as directed with Harley following and Joker bringing up the rear. He hopped in the driver’s seat and Harley Jumped on his lap. When they arrived at Wayne Enterprises Research lab Vic got out and scanned the building with some device he conjured up. He pointed to the side of the building "Bayne you need to break through the wall right there and continue breaking  through until you see a storage room with many of those giant glass tubes that you broke through earlier in Krane’s room." Bayne got out and did as he was instructed. Vic followed behind him. The rest of the crew armed their weapons and took position in the bus windows in case the bat showed up.
Krane stayed behind. He needed to figure out how exactly Bayne got the powers he did. The strength was no surprise, but the dramatic change in size was what astonished him. Not that Bayne got so big, that he knew would happen, though he did expect him to grow quite so large. What really astonished him was that Bayne could fluctuate between the 2. He also wanted to work on his fear formula. He almost had it perfected but Joker requested that he work on this mutation experiment first. Well before he has to get back to that he was going to finish his personal experiment. He had been working on this on paper for the past 2 years. With jokers assistance he finally had the means to make it happen. "That's it! Finished. now to test." He went to his test subjects’ area. He pulled a cat out. The cat was vicious. He made sure to grab it with his gloved hand. She hissed at him and tried to claw and bite him, but his hawk training glove was too thick. He dropped her in a tank and quickly threw a lid on. She scrambled around the inside clawing at every wall trying to escape. HE then dropped a mouse in there and she instantly pounced on it tearing it to pieces. HE took a droplet serum and put it on a piece of dried ice. Instantly it started smoking. He dropped the ice in the tank. The cat ran away from it. Once it had dispersed he stuck his hand in there to see what would happen. She ran to the other side of the tank and hid. He dropped a mouse in there again. The mouse went to investigate the blood smeared around the tank. The cat froze. Her eyes locked on the mouse. She began to tremble uncontrollably. "YES! IT WORKS! MY FEAR SERUM WORKS! WHOO HOO!" Krane skipped around the lab laughing and shaking his own hand. He stopped dancing and composed himself in the manner a scientist should. Ok funs over now back to work. How did Bayne be able to control his transformation. It had to do with when he got angry....The adrenaline.
"Batman, there seems to be a disturbance at the Wayne Research facility in downtown Gotham." Computers voice startled him as he was in deep thought. HE couldn't figure out what any of the things joker was doing had to do with each other. HE broke into a hardware store, a military supply store, 2 children’s detention facilities, set someone on fire at a gas station,  and now Wayne Enterprises Research facility. What was he up to? "Computer fire up the Batmobile, initiate auto pilot." He really wanted to change her programming to automatically do that but he hasn't had  a chance to. the prototype Batsuit was finally finished and no longer a prototype. He had injected Nanobots into his body and had them implanted into the suit. Now he could control the suits abilities by simply thinking of commands. He was working on merging the nanobots signal with Computers so that he didn't have to speak to computer at all, when the disturbance was reported. By the time he had gotten to Research facility Jokers crew had already come and gone. There was a hole the size of a truck in the wall. he could see all the way inside. They seemed to stop in the storage room. What was missing? He had about 2 more minutes before the police arrived. He had to move quickly. When he was inside the storage room he saw several large empty areas. He would have  to check the main computer after they pull inventory for insurance. For right now he just had to get any clues he could.
When Joker and the crew arrived back at their hideout they were amped. The adrenaline rush they were feeling was better than any high. "Great work all, you kids make me so proud! HAHHAHA, ok Bayne bring one of those tubes up to Krane’s room and lien up the others over there" He pointed to a corner in the garage. Just then Krane came running down to Joker, " I thought I heard you guys. Guess what? my fear serum is complete. One dose of this and whoever comes in contact with it will be terrified into submission." Joker liked the thought of that. The literal terror he could inflict upon the city. "Krane, you my boy have just earned a brownie point, and you know what that means? you get first choice and alone time in the toy room." Krane went to collect his reward and Joker took the vial of liquid and walked towards his room. Harley was only steps behind. "Har, how do you suppose we give ol' Batsy a dose of this juice?" Harley looked puzzled then shot a finger into the air "I know puddin, didn't you tell Vic to make you a gun capable of spraying anything Krane came up with?" Joker stopped dead in his tracks and about faced "Yes I did, didn’t I?" Well let's go have a chat with Vic.
Krane finished up, it didn't take long as he was pretty inexperienced in the matters of females, and went back to his lab, along the way he stopped by Kat and Rose's room. He had a glow of confidence in him that he never had before. Hey ladies, would one of you like to be next?" Kat acknowledged him first " I would" Rose looked at her with shock in her face. "Kat no, what if you get all big like Bayne?" Kat looked at Rose sympathetically "If I get big like Bayne with my agility we'll be unstoppable." Rose didn't like it. "I wanna go first" Krane and Kat's Jaws both dropped in awe. "Why?" Kat finally managed to mutter. "Just cause, and if you love me you won't make it an issue." Kat was disgruntled that she would pull that card but she complied. "Fine but I wanna be there when you do it." Krane continued to stand silently in the doorway as they bickered and decided. "Ok so Rose you're first and then you wanna go Kat? are we agreed on that?" His timid mousy persona was fading, Kat noticed this when he first stepped in the room. She had initially assumed he was a virgin until moments ago and he was brimming with confidence over losing it, but something told Kat there was more to it. Would he experiment on himself? She figured it didn't matter and followed him and Rose to his Lab. "Now Rose what kinda abilities are you looking for?" Rose didn't even hesitate, "I want control of plants" Krane was kinda taken aback by this request but it didn't show. "I can't promise exactly that but I can promise that something cool will happen" He smiled at her the way a child does when caught with their hand in the cookie jar. "Step in my newly acquired body tube. All I have to do is attach these hoses" He climbed to the top and attached the hoses to the top that would pour the "goo" in. He secured them with some clamps and climbed down. He ran around the room and collected leaves from various plants he had lying about. He threw the switch and the green liquid poured in. Rose looked nervous. As she stand there soaking up his concoction, he climbed to the top and dropped the leaves in. They instantly disintegrated and mixed with the chemical stew. Krane noticed that ivy was changing color. At first he thought it was just the tint from liquid inside but then he could noticeably see she was changing. So could Kat. "Hey What the fuck is happening to her? Get her outta there now." Krane sprinted to the switch and drained the goo. Rose practically fell out of the chamber when it opened. She had definitely been turned green, All except for her now even more vibrant Red Hair. When she regained composure she was not happy about being green. "What did you do to me? SEE KAT THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO GO FIRST! WHAT IF YOU WERE TURNED INTO A CAT?!? HUH?!" Kat was in absolute and genuine shock. "I...I...I don't know. I'm sorry." Rose was as compassionate as ever, "It's ok there's no need to be sorry, I kinda like it, I was just freaking out. Let's see what I can do." She looked at a plant and pointed her palms at it. Nothing happened, however she did feel weak. She collapsed. As she did a nearby plant caught her and lightly placed her on the ground. It then crept along the floor like a snake and opened a shade letting in the afternoon sunlight. the sun beams hit Rose and she started to move a little. The plant Then went to the nearby faucet and turned it on. The whole time Kat and Krane kept staring and blinking. They were unable to believe their eyes until the plant wrapped itself around Kat and guided her to the faucet. She quickly found a container lying around and filled it with water. The plant released its grip and took the container of water from her. It dumped the water on Rose's face. Her pores soaked up the water like a sponge. She opened her eyes. "What happened?" Krane looked down at her lying on the ground. "Well love, you need to learn how to control it better, but I believe you got your wish."
Joker found himself at Vic's door. He knocked once and flung the door open. "Vic my boy, I’m in need of something that can spray this shit. Something in a water gun type of weapon." Vic  was working on something, but joker couldn’t even begin to fathom what it was. "Boss I was just going to call you in before I got caught on this." He continued working on his project but nodded his head towards a table that had several of his creations lying on them. Joker and Harley walked over to the table. "Wow Vic these look awesome, really really awesome....soooo whatta they do?" Vic laughed at this. "Now I know why you are called Joker. you crack me up which isn't easy to do. Anyway That flower goes in your lapel, I figured it was a good style for you. Anyway what you do is put whatever you want, acid, gas, nitrogen, in that enclosed shatter proof vial. Then you put that in your inside pocket. Poke a lil hole going through to the front of your Jacket and insert that hose into the vial. Then touch the back like this" Vic grabbed his shirt and showed joker how to use the flower. "When you press that button on the back it will spray up to 13 feet in front of you." Joker was all too pleased. He grabbed the flower and walked out of the room. "Thanks Vic, you must be a mind reader." Vic's smile left his face and he now looked very puzzled. "Wait what about the rest of them?" Joker was already half out of the room "I'll check them later you just made my day." Harley blew Vic a kiss and followed Joker. His voice trailed off down the corridor.
Batman was back at the Batcave. He was analyzing the meager clues he dug up at Wayne research when he heard a voice. Joker. "Hey Bats you there? I always hated leaving messages." In the background Harley could be faintly heard. "Puddin that's not an answering machine it's a..."Joker Cut her off. "Shut up Harley, BATS! Dammit I know you hear me." Batman picked up the Walkie, "What do you want you lunatic?" You could hear Joker's smile through the speaker. "Batsy, relax I’ve decided to give myself up in exchange for the freedom of my crew. They've promised to turn over a new leaf and I realize that I corrupted and tricked them. So how bout it Meet me at Central Gotham Park? By Rams Meadow. "Batman didn't believe him for a second. "OK 30 minutes." Batman stared at the walkie waiting for Joker's response. He heard Joker clear his throat. "Deal, but....I want only you leave the Fuzz alone, I will only surrender to you." What was Joker up to now? Batman knew this was a trap but it was the only chance he had.
Joker put down the Walkie. "Wonderful ok so this is the plan. Har I want you to stay here and hold down the fort. Imma need Bayne." He pressed a button on his 2way watch. "Bayne I need your assistance come to my room." Just then he heard a loud crash come from the training room "What the fuck? Harley vamos and page Bayne back tell him to meet us in the training room instead" Joker stood in the doorway of the training room thoroughly amazed for the second time today. "Holy hell, Rose?" Rose was standing atop a giant plant, and she was green. "HI JOKER!" She screamed like a child who sees their grandparent for the first time in years. She was visibly less timid. She was also pretty Naked Barring some leaves covering up her "personal areas." The plant lowered her down and she pet it like it were a family dog. She stepped down from her enormous leaf platform. "Sorry didn't mean to break anything I was testing my new powers and I went a lil overboard. hehe" Joker was  already figuring out how to use this to his advantage. "Rose, I think you may be able to assist me with something..."Just then Bayne came in "You wanted to see me?" Joker waved him over. "ok look this is what we're gonna do. I've got the bat meeting me in Gotham central park in about 25 minutes. I want you 2 to come with. Bayne stay in your normal form unless you need to. I want the 2 of you to park your asses on a bench and I’ll meet the Bat. Rose when he shows his face I want you to make the vegetation grab him just long enough for me to spray him. Bayne if anything goes wrong Wolf out or whatever you do and smash him but if you don't have to don't." They both nodded and started walking towards the garage. "Oh and Rose, you're fuckin green hun, go put some clothes on and cover up, we're trying to not draw attention..."
Krane’s next volunteer was Kat, Kat had specifically asked to be enhanced with some sort of cat powers after seeing Rose in action, but she requested to be able to turn it off like Bayne could. By this time he had figured out that Bayne's mutation was based on the adrenaline he dropped in the tank and after turning Rose green he figured out how to control the transformations. "Ok Kat. step into my office" Krane smiled menacingly. Joker's insanity seemed to be rubbing off on everyone around him. he started the machine as per normal, but then he went up to the top and dropped some cat fur into the chamber. Kat was very uncomfortable not being able to breathe but she would not let it show. Krane was intrigued by her and Bayne both as they seemed to have no fears at all or if they did they masked it really well. He climbed down the massive tube and injected  his new component into the hose leading in. This would give her control over her transformation. He could see her starting to run out of breath. He really needed to ask Vic to make a breathing apparatus for this machine. Though it did help him time how long to leave them in there if they broke another tube he would be pissed. He flipped the switch to drain the massive beaker. The chamber door opened and Kat gasped for air. "ok ...so..I’m not Green or furry, that's good. But I don't feel any different." Krane was not happy about that. "Maybe we just gotta find your trigger. Try to climb to that beam up there." He pointed to one of the beams attached to the ceiling support above their heads. Kat jumped onto the pole. She jumped further than she had expected, she expected to land on her ass but she balanced herself out with her tail and landed on her feet. Wait her tail? "I've got a tail? I've got a tail. I'VE GOT A TAIL!" She was excited. "Krane was smiling again. "That’s not all you got..." He snickered and pointed at the mirror. She looked in the mirror, She looked like a 2 legged Panther. All black fur, glowing green eyes, claws sharp as razors, and thumbs. That was a plus at least she could still grasp things. She turned from the mirror and ran at Krane full speed. She pounced on Alucard as he and Ed entered the room. "What the fuck Kat get the hell off of me." She did, "How did you know it was me?"
Alucard laughed "Uh I dunno lemme see, Krane’s doing experiments on people and one of us has been turned into a GIANT MAN CAT, I wonder who it could be?" Kat laughed. She turned back into a human. Her eyes stopped glowing but her pupils still looked like a cats. Ed decided to speak up. "OK if you 2 are done playing Kat and mouse could either of you tell us where Joker is, I got some stuff for him." Krane responded, "Don't know we're a lil preoccupied, go find Harley she should know.
Joker got a  buzz on his 2way. "Joker, it's Ed. You wanted  a riddle right, well put this on a piece of paper and leave it with the Bat. In Nation of CO2, burst bubbles Sow Dozens of sticky situations." Joker was unimpressed. "Don't you think that's just giving it to him?" Ed was not happy with that reply. "No I do not you understand it cause you know we're in a soda factory, he doesn't it'll take him forever to put that together." Joker wrote it down. "Look Ed if this fruit bat finds our hideout before Halloween I will eviscerate you." Joker clicked doff his watch. They had arrived, while he was politicking with Ed over the riddle, he had let Bayne and rose out a few blocks away. They strolled like a young couple in love. holding hands. they sat down on a bench. Joker emerged from the Van. He walked partially through the woods till he hit the meadow near Bayne and Rose. He walked out in the open. "BATS! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE SHOW YOUR FACE!" He pulled down his hood to reveal his menacing appearance. Batman swooped down from a Tree and stood in broad daylight in his suit. "Batsy, glad you could make it good to see you again. How's life?" He smiled his biggest smile without popping another stitch. Batman glared at him. "Before I bring you in can I ask you why?" Joker stopped smiling "Oh you really believed me that I was gonna just give in like that? HAHAHAHHAHA!" Batman was not amused. "Actually no" Joker stopped laughing. He took a fighting stance. "Ok Bats so then let’s get this over with, I been taking Martial arts lessons, let’s throw down. If you win, well if you win I’ll have to be unconscious anyway so I guess you get to take me in, BUT if I win....." Batman as aware of his surrounding as he was did not happen to notice the vines that were approaching his feet. He didn't notice until they quickly wrapped themselves around his ankles while other vines wrapped around his arms and midsection. You could hear an audible “CRACK” as the ones around his torso squeezed a  little TOO tight and broke a few ribs while restraining Batman. Joker Sprayed batman directly in the face as Vic had demonstrated. Batman started coughing. When his fit stopped he felt weird. He was very anxious. He took a good look at Joker and started screaming. Joker took advantage of his open mouth and put the piece of paper in, he shocked him with his hand buzzer to make him be quiet, instead he was rendered unconscious from Joker's high voltage hand buzzer. The vines released Batman with just a wave of Rose's hand. He lay there motionless but not dead.
Brad was in the dark. Where was he? Last he remembered the clown had sprayed him with something while something else that felt like snakes grabbed him. then a bright light and finally darkness. Where did they take him. Oh no! they removed his suit. What was this place? Was it a closet? he felt cramped and suddenly claustrophobic. suddenly a door opened. "C'mon Brad you have to attend it's the proper thing to do." A Tall Dark figure put out a hand. What was he talking about? "Who are you? and where am I?" The figure chuckled he opened the door further letting light in. "Dad?" It couldn't be Dad died shortly before mom. "Braddox Oliver Wayne, Get out that closet this instant and go put on your Sunday best. We're going to church and that's the last I’ll hear of it." MOM? Brad didn't know what to think, He jumped out of the closet and hugged his father as tight as he could. Before he got to speak another word the sunshine faded and a bullet emerged from his father’s chest, missing Brad's face by inches. His mother screamed. His father dropped him and started to melt. His mother put a kitchen knife to her throat and slit it ear to ear. Her blood gushed all over the place he was covered in it. "Not again, no, no, this didn't happen the same day, no this can't be happening again!" He began sweating. his surroundings changed he was in a church standing in the back. His parents’ bodies were being hung from the ceiling like piñatas. Joker was blindfolded and taking swings at them. Brad felt something restrain him again. It was a group of snakes of differing sizes. They constricted and he could barely breathe.  he fell down. He never hit the floor, he just kept fallings. All he could hear was the wind rushing past his ears and an evil laugh getting louder as he fell. He eventually hit the ground with a thud. He was losing consciousness again, he opened his eyes as much as he could and all he could see was the Joker with a giant Mallet which was about to come down on his head. He lost consciousness, yet at the same time regained consciousness. He was back in the park. Joker was gone. A crowd of people were starting to gather. they were keeping their distance but staring and pointing and gossiping about what he could possibly be. His sonic hearing allowed him to hear them all. He was still sweating and very anxious, but he regrouped himself best he could and took off into the trees. He pulled piece of paper out of his mouth and From there he disappeared.
when Joker returned he called a meeting with everyone to tell them what had happened and to show off Bayne, and Rose. What he hadn't counted on was another surprise when he returned. Kat. She looked different...Her eyes, they were the eyes of a cat. Green with an elongated pupil. almost like a long diamond. Exactly like a cat's. When the meeting started Krane interrupted and asked Kat to show her abilities. She transformed, everyone stared in awe at her movements, her ability to scale unscaleable objects, her increase speed, strength and ability to jump. Her already accelerated acrobatics were sharper. After everyone was done picking their jaws off the floor Joker gave Krane a pat on the back and divulged the exploits of the night. "Hopefully the bat is in a fetal position whimpering as we speak." He said. "Ok Kiddos, go get some sleep we have work to do tomorrow. only a few more days and my plot will be complete. hahhahahahaHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!" Joker's cackle was unsettling to everyone, including Harley.
Brad had stuff to do in the morning so he decided to put down  the cape and cowl and finally catch some sleep for the first time in days. He couldn't think and his head was fuzzy. The nanites made him not need as much sleep but he still needed sleep. they may have made him faster stronger and sharper, but not invincible. He was still human. He was sure all he needed was a good night’s rest. though only a few hours any sleep at all would be considered a good night’s rest. The dream he had earlier bothered him. More than that the fact that Joker had done something to him and gotten away bothered him more. Joker did something but he was still unsure what. Why would he meet him in the park and then put him to sleep? "Did he remove my mask?" Brad asked himself. He thought about it and realized that he couldn't have. The mask didn't come off like that and he was pretty sure computer had some sort of safety against that. He would have to wait until morning to find out.
Harley and Joker were on their way to bed. Ed caught them in the hallway "Joker, I have a new riddle for you." Joker looked at him up and down, like he was sizing him up. "You know Ed, I been thinking about it, the whole riddle thing isn’t working out. We already have 3 mutants and fear gas. The last thing I need to do is give Batsy clues. so you have exactly 3 seconds to tell me why I should keep you on board or imma shoot you in the face." Ed was startled. was Joker serious? "one" Joker said. Ed couldn't think straight "Well I, um, I mean..."Joker interrupted him “two, three" He pulled out a gun and shot Ed in the face. "patience never was one of my strong points." The whole crew came to see what had happened. Ed lie there bleeding from the hole in his face. "And then there was eight, don't worry about this, Ed and I had a lil disagreement and I handled it. Go to bed, we got shit to do in the morning." He grabbed Harleys hand and skipped to their room. He put on some old school trance music to reset the mood. Harley was still concerned with what had just happened. as a psychologist she was a lil concerned that he just did that and then went on to have no emotion. She was more concerned though that it didn't bother her. "Puddin, what plot were you referring to earlier?" Harley finally decided to ask. Joker turned to her with his usual wicked smile "Harley, Harley Harley, don't you concern yourself with that. I’ve had an agenda this entire time, just go with it and know that in a few days the scene will be set for us to rule this city, hell maybe the world one day." Harley was not thrilled with that answer but joker scooped her up in his arms and dipped her to the beat of the music. HE kissed her passionately and stared into her eyes. She was unsure how someone who clearly cared for her could be as cold conniving and uncaring about anything else, however at this moment it didn't matter. He twirled her and let go. She landed on the bed and Joker climbed in beside her. Her pulled off her top and kissed her neck gently like he was a junior high student attempting to get to second base. She threw him off of her. He lay there looking hurt and startled. She jumped on top of him tore his top off and kissed him madly.
