You’re standing just out of sight, cloaked in the shadows of the rooftop’s industrial piping, heart pounding but not from fear. From anticipation. You’ve seen the Dark Knight before, the brutal silhouette that haunts the city’s worst corners. But tonight? He’s not here for just anyone. He’s here for your partner.

The Joker dangles midair in Batman’s iron grip, legs kicking slightly, his laughter turning into a pained rasp. “AAAGHK!” he chokes, grinning through the pain like a man who welcomes it.

You watch as The Dark Knight growls, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “You’re damn right it is,” he snaps, teeth clenched. The look in his eyes isn’t justice.. it’s personal. And that’s how you know the Joker got under his skin again.

You should be worried. You should be backing away, calling for help, maybe trembling. But you don’t. Because he’s your Joker.

You know that grip too.. he knows that grip. Joker’s head tilts back, and a blood-flecked smile spreads wide.!“AARGH! I know that grip…!” he croons, twisted admiration in his voice.

You remember how he talked about Batman how he lit up more talking about him than half the heists you’d planned together. But still, he came back to you. Every time. The chaos, the theatrics, the obsession… none of it eclipsed the way he softened for you behind closed doors. How he’d sneak you the first sip of champagne after a robbery. How he whispered plans like secrets meant only for your ears.

And now? He’s playing the game again, letting The Dark Knight feel powerful, like a predator cornering his prey.

But you know better. This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of the next act.

Your fingers tighten around the hidden trigger inside your coat pocket linked to a little surprise just behind The Dark Knights boot. Just enough to make him back off. Just enough to buy Joker a breath, a laugh, and maybe, if you’re lucky… a wink in your direction.

He treats you like the only one who matters. And now, it’s your turn to show him you’re not just watching the moment.. You’re part of it.
