CHAPTER 1 : 2GOTHAM

Jack Napier knew it was a dark and Gloomy day in Gotham. Jack was sitting there in his office. He was busy with work and didn't feel like being bothered. His room was dark and ominous. Exactly how the green hair man liked it. He heard the door open. Anger rushing through his body as he immediately turned back to stare at the light creeping in from the door

"What could you possibly want." The man said in a cold tone. From the door stood Selina Kyle.

"Heya Jack!" She purred. "Selina here. I was wondering..."

Jack glanced at the beautiful woman who entered his office. He was about to speak, but the words died on his tongue as he couldn't help but stare at her. She was gorgeous, as always, and Jack loved the way she held herself. She was confident and independent. Which was exactly what he wanted in a woman.

"What?" the man said, his eyes darting up and down her body. A smile graced Selina's features.

She made her way towards Joker's desk, her kitten pumps clacked against the linoleum floors with each step.

With mischief in her eyes, she said "Would you go to prom with me?"

The Joker froze as he heard the question. He was still staring at her, but his expression changed to one of surprise. Prom? Of all the things Selina could have asked him, that was not one of the options he had predicted. A small chuckle escaped his lips, as he replied, "Why, why on earth would you want me to go to prom with you?"

Selina pretended to think for a moment, placing her finger on her chin exaggeratedly. "Bruce hasn't asked me, so I figured I'd ask you"

A sly smirk appeared on the jokers face. "So I was your last choice" He started to laugh, as if to emphasize the humor in that fact. This made sense in a way. Bruce Wayne, the young billionaire. He was considered the perfect specimen. So of course, Selina would ask him first. It made little sense to ask the insane clown man.

Selina's eyes softened ever-so-slightly. Anyone could have easily missed it, but Joker wasn't just anyone. But just as quickly as it came, that softness was replaced with a familiar mischief.

"No, Bruce is too aloof. So you're technically my first option" Joker tilted his head to the side a bit as he considered this new bit of information.

So this wasn't really about Bruce at all. She wanted the Joker, specifically. Which meant she had a special interest in him. This was exciting, to say the least. Joker bit back a laugh.

"Alright then. I'll go to prom with you."

——————————————————————————————————

It had been an hour or so after Joker and Selina's last conversation, and it left a noticeable impact on the Jokers mood. His typical hunched posture replaced by a little extra pep in his step. But of course, when it comes to Jack Napier nothing good could ever last.

As he made his way through the halls of Gotham High he was graced with the unfortunate pleasure of bumping into Bruce Wayne. There's palpable tension in the air. Bruce was walking down the hallway, minding his own business when he came face to face with the Joker. immediately he could feel the tension between them in the air.

Though Joker appeared to be keeping his cool, Bruce knew better. The Clown wasn't one to be trusted. Even as he looked up at him, he noticed the man was trying his best to control his smile. As if he was planning something.

"Jack." Bruce regarded him, annoyed. Joker didn't need to hear anything more than the way Bruce addressed him to know that this was not going to be an easy encounter. The mere mention of his real name was enough to set Bruce off, and it got on the clowns nerves.

"Bruce." Joker replied, trying not to show how much the billionaire was already beginning to annoy him.

"Where is Selina?" Bruce's gruff voice echoed against the metal lockers behind Jack.

The way Bruce asked about Selina immediately got on the Jokers nerves. So what if he was going to prom with Selina? Did it concern Bruce?

"Why would you be concerned about where she was?" The Joker replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Because I'm going to ask her to prom. Not that that's any of your business, Jack." Bruce replied. It was obvious that he too was losing his patience.

"Oh no. It most definitely is my business." Joker replied in a harsh tone. He wasn't going to let Bruce try and win Selina over so easily. She had asked him to the prom first. He felt like it was his right to have her. After all, she had chosen him over Bruce. That had to mean something. "

What? But I thought-- Selina and I... We have something special. And YOU'RE getting in the way!" Bruce shoves Jack, sending him onto the lockers. Jack's back hit the metal with a resounding thump.

Joker was not prepared for Bruce's physical response. The billionaire had a hot temper, that much he knew. But Bruce had never actually tried to hit him before. That said something. And it wasn't good. Joker felt his nose begin to bleed. And he was pissed. This wasn't what he had planned for this moment. Bruce Wayne crouched down to where Jack remained slumped, pressing his hands to his nose as he desperately tries to get the bleeding to stop. Bruce looked Joker dead in the eyes.

"I'll say this once, Jack. Leave Selina alone."

"No." Joker replied flatly, anger boiling up inside him.

He couldn't afford to take the high road about this. He wasn't going to let Bruce come and claim Selina as his own. If anyone was going to have her it was going to be him. "Do you understand?" The man yelled, standing up despite the blood running down his face.

Selina watched from a distance. She gasps quietly without either noticing her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. And it left an uncomfortable pit in her stomach. Yet despite this, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks flush. 'That's kinda hot' she thinks to herself.

Joker didn't see Selina watching them from the shadows. He was too focused on the billionaire in front of him. But it wouldn't have changed anything even if he knew she was watching. He wasn't going to let Bruce take her. She was his.

Bruce walks away from Jack in search of Selina. Joker dusted off his suit before turning his attention to the direction Bruce had gone in. Selina was still on his mind. The tension he and Bruce felt toward each other was palpable. There was no denying that. But Joker felt more than just anger towards Bruce right now. He felt something darker. Something he hadn't felt in a long time. He wanted revenge.

He was going to take Selina to prom and then he was going to make Bruce hate him.

——————————————————————————————————

Bruce finds Selina in the cafeteria.

He sits down and looks her deep in the eyes, holding her hand as his eyes sparkle under the fluorescent cafeteria lights. His hair swayed gently as a breeze passed by. His scent reminds Selina of vengeance, his muscles flexed with justice. And then he asks her; "Will you go to prom with me?"

As the conversation between Bruce and Selina played out, Joker walked as quietly as he could toward both of them. His thoughts were filled with rage and hate as he watched the two of them together. The way the billionaire looked at Selina, the way she melted into his gaze. Her heart belonged to Bruce. It was obvious in every look she gave him. It made the clown sick, as he watched him ask her to the prom.

Joker had to act quickly, he couldn't afford to let Bruce win Selina over. He approached the lunch table she sat at, keeping a few feet away from them, still trying to remain as quiet as possible. His head was running with different ideas on how he was going to steal Selina away from Bruce.

The man was on a mission. As he stood there, he saw that Bruce had successfully asked Selina out. She had said yes. His anger was growing with every passing second. But he had to keep it together. He wanted to rip Selina away from this man, but he needed a plan. Something that would ensure he would have the better odds at taking her and leaving Bruce feeling defeated.

From Jokers perspective, he saw Bruce and Selina hug. And with one last fleeting touch they part. Bruce left the cafeteria and Selina stayed in her seat. Joker watched Bruce make his quick exit from the lunch room. The anger that had been boiling inside him quickly turned into excitement. He had a chance. A small chance, but a chance nonetheless.

The Clown quickly sat down at the table beside Selina. His presence was enough to make her look up at him with surprise. "Hello, darling." Joker greeted, looking her over.

His eyes were still full of rage towards Bruce, but he hid it well. He was going to try and get Selina on his side. He needed her to want him more than she wanted Bruce.

"What do you want, Jack?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. There was fear in her eyes, but there was also something else. Something that gave Joker hope.

Joker smiled at her, ignoring the fear. "I want you, Selina. I want you to be my date to the prom." He leaned in closer, his breath tickling her ear.

"I want you to dance with me. I want to make you feel things you've never felt before."

Selina swallowed hard, feeling a shiver run down her spine. Part of her wanted to believe him, wanted to trust him. But another part of her knew better.

"You're just saying that because you want to make Bruce jealous." She accused, her voice still shaking.

"Maybe at first," Joker admitted with a smirk. "But I promise you, Selina, if you give me a chance, I will make you forget about him. I will give you everything you ever wanted." He reached out, gently taking her hand in his. "Please, Selina. Give me a chance to show you."

Selina deliberated with herself for quite some time, staying silent for a few moments before she eventually replied. "Okay Jack, I'll give you a chance"

Joker's smile grew wider as she agreed. "Thank you, Selina. You won't regret it." He leaned in closer, his lips almost touching her ear. "Now, how about we get out of here and find a quiet spot to talk?" He offered his arm, gesturing for her to take it.

Selina furrowed her brows "we are in a quiet spot, literally no one is here IDIOT"

Joker chuckled softly. "Well, I guess that's one way to keep things quiet." He looked around, then glanced back at her with a mischievous grin. "Come on, let's go somewhere more...private."

Selina chuckles at his suggestion. "Buy me a drink first, and maybe I'll maybe I'll consider".

Selina gathered her things and began to make her way out of the cafeteria. Joker watched her go, feeling a stab of anger mixed with frustration. He didn't like being rejected, and he wasn't about to let her walk away that easily.

He quickly caught up to her, grabbing her arm gently but firmly. "Look, Selina, I know you're not used to someone treating you like this," he said, lowering his voice. "But I promise you, I'm different."

Selina had an unreadable expression on her face as she turned towards Jack.

"Save it for Prom.". Selina ripped her hand away from Jack's grasp as she walked briskly in the opposite direction.

Joker let her go, feeling his anger rising. He knew he had to keep calm if he wanted to have any chance with her. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Maybe there was another way to get to her. He decided to try a different approach.

——————————————————————————————————

Bruce Wayne is currently in Geometry Class currently not listening to the teacher drone on and on. He already knows the material so he focused instead on making paper bats. Selina sits down next to Bruce, handing him a note.

"Hey, Batman," she whispers, "this just arrived for you." Bruce takes the note, and opens it up. Inside is a single line, scrawled in Joker's familiar handwriting:

"I'm sorry, Bruce. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. Please, I need your help. Meet me at the old abandoned zoo after school. - J."

Bruce glances at Selina, then back at the note. He folds it up carefully and slips it into his pocket.

"Thanks, Selina." He says, trying to keep his emotions in check. "I'll, uh... handle it." The class bell then rung, announcing the end of the school day. Bruce hurried out, weaving through crowds of people with precision. He was a man on a mission.

Bruce arrives at the abandoned zoo, dressed in a black trench coat. He slowly approaches the meeting spot, scanning the area for any sign of the Joker. The wind picks up, rustling through the overgrown bushes and abandoned cages.

Joker emerges from the shadows, dressed in his usual purple suit and green hair. He seems nervous, twirling his cane as he waits for Bruce to approach. "Hello, Bruce. I'm glad you could make it."

Bruce narrows his eyes, taking a step forward. "Why did you send that note?" He demands. "What do you want from me?"

Joker takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. "Look, Bruce... I'm in a bit of a tight spot. Some people from my past caught up with me, and they're planning on doing some very bad things. I need your help to stop them."

"And why should I believe you?" Bruce counters, suspicion clear in his voice. "You've done enough damage already."

Joker's face contorts into a twisted grin. "Oh, you don't have a choice, Bruce. They're going to come after Selina, and neither of us want that, whether you help me or not. But if you help me, I can make sure they don't succeed."

Bruce's expression hardens. "Alright. But if you're lying to me, Joker, I'll make sure you regret it." He says, glancing around once more before continuing. "What do you need me to do?"

"You see, Bruce... Selina stole the wrong thing from very dangerous people. I did what I could to protect her, but these men are batshit insane. They're going to come after us at the docks tomorrow night." Joker gestures vaguely towards the abandoned aquarium. "I need you to fight with me. Together, we can take them down." "

Alright," Bruce says slowly, "but you have to understand that I won't hesitate to end this if I think you're lying to me."

With that, he extends his hand.

"Deal?"

Joker's smile returns, wider than ever.

"Deal."

He clasps Bruce's hand firmly, his grip surprisingly strong. "And thank you, Bruce. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again."

As their hands touch, Bruce is momentarily surprised by the softness of Jack's hands. There's a spark, a connection... He tries to brush it off, but it lingers in his mind, making him feel uneasy. He pulls his hand away, clearing his throat. "Alright, then. Let's go over the plan."

Joker nods, seeming to readjust his posture. "They'll be waiting for us at the old warehouse by the docks. We'll sneak in from the roof, and take them down one by one. You're faster and stronger than me, so you can handle the heavies. I'll handle the mooks."
