Hello, Multiverse. And Gotham, if we can find one, eh?

[gothams_joker]

Y'know, you make the good ol' crossing and yet? You do nothing with me! You sign up for communities, but not with me! Really, why not lead with your best foot forward? Or best hand grenade, as the case may be.

There's even a Luthor around for me to bother! No Bats in the ol' belfry but it's probably only a matter of time until he shows up. Figures. Just when you need some fun he's nowhere to be seen. But when you're in the middle of something he's there six ways from sunday. It's so gauche. Hmm? Oh, her. She doesn't count. None of the little helper-monkeys count, do they.

Heh, this place has fake gods, angry demons, magic users - but not enough of li'l ol' me. Time to introduce a little bit of chaos to the ol' soup. Whaddaya say, for old times' sake?

There really needs to be more universes where you're supposed to be dead.

[timeshare_batwoman]

An odd sentiment coming from his hench wench.

[byebye_mistah_j]

I'll ignore the comment since the version of myself from your world likely gave you enough trouble to warrant the comment.

At any rate any position "Hench wench" or otherwise is former. I was the one that killed him.

[timeshare_batwoman]

Not directly; you were long presumed-dead by my time. But you and your puddin's last crime came back to trouble me.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Except I'm guessing that final crime never happened in my world.

[timeshare_batwoman]

I should hope not. Does the name "Joker Junior" ring any bells?

[byebye_mistah_j]

You're kidding...we had a KID?!

[timeshare_batwoman]

Only in your twisted minds. Everyone else saw a kidnapped, brainwashed, broken child. And that's not even getting into what your Mistah J did to him from beyond the grave.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Could you stop calling him mine?! I shot him in the head! What more do you want from me?

[She calms down after a moment looking sheepish.]

S-sorry.

[bodilesswarrior]

You - really?

[her shock softens into a genuinely warm smile] Good for you, Harleen. Thank you.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Barbara?

[She looks genuinely surprised.]

You're welcome but considering he was going to beat me to death I wasn't exactly doing it for noble purposes.

[bodilesswarrior]

Yes.

[Barbara shakes her head] Doesn't matter. You did the world a favour. [there's a hard edge to her voice, but the gratitude is sincere]

[byebye_mistah_j]

I'll take your thanks then.

[She decided a change of subject was in order.]

So I share a head-space with a kid that could be your son based on his expertise.

[gothams_joker]

Oh, you again. How are you, sweetie?

[byebye_mistah_j]

Still a fair aim with a gun.

[gothams_joker]

[He sighs, theatrically]

You're so dull for a Harley. I mean, honestly, You're just batgirl with a firearm.

Poor form, Harley, poor form.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Oh I can be less dull but I thought I would never see you again yet here you are, multiple times.

Though if it makes you feel any better I'm not completely sane.

[gothams_joker]

[Cue theatrical shock]

Why gosh! Really? You? Not entirely sane? Why, I'm shocked! Flabbergasted! Floored!

[He smiles again]

For those with a disgusting lack of humour in the room, that was sarcasm.

[byebye_mistah_j]

[She scoffs.]

Yes clearly but this is a new development after your death.

[gothams_joker]

[For the first time he laughs]

Oh, yes, of course. Because you were so mentally stable before.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Still it was consistent. Unwitting devotion and regression into some dimwitted personality.

[gothams_joker]

Dimwitted? What good would you have been to me, then? Loyal, yes. But I made you clever, not just smart. Taught you to think on your feet and to sell a punchline now and again.

You supplied the homicidal rage yourself, kiddo.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Maybe dimwitted is the wrong word. Gullible is more like it.

At any rate as of recently I've developed schizophrenia and I imagine if I ever actually touched the old suit again I would develop multiple personalities.

[gothams_joker]

Then why not get it over with, kiddo? Harley and Not Harley. It'll be a nice dichotomy. Like ol' Harv, but less annoying.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Mostly because it would be the third time I snapped in less than a decade.
