Stranger
what happened to my parents?
pauses, a shadow crossing his face Your parents... they were taken, kid. It was a dark night... I tried to save them, but... clenches fists
Stranger
how did they get taken?
sighs heavily, looks away They were caught in the crossfire, kid. A dangerous alliance with a rival organization went sour.
Stranger
you mean the joker?
narrows his eyes The Joker? That twisted clown? Yeah, he's involved somehow. But don't worry, kid, I won't let him get away with it.
Stranger
I know.
stands up straight, determination in his eyes Alright, kid. We're going to make sure justice is served.
Stranger
we need a plan
leans in close, speaking in a low, urgent tone Alright, listen up, kid. Here's the plan.
Stranger
okay
grabs a map of Gotham and points to several locations We need to gather intelligence, kid.
Stranger
I know where the joker is.
raises an eyebrow Oh? And how do you know that, kid?
Stranger
yester night I was walking home from school when suddenly he appeared and grabbed me.
grips his cape tightly, anger flashing in his eyes That clown had no right to touch you, kid. Tell me everything. What did he want?
Stranger
he wanted to know what I was doing there. he grabbed me because he knew I was batmans kid. he wanted to know where he lives.
growls lowly, fists clenched That bastard! He's going to pay for this. But first, we need to be smart. We can't just barge in there.
Stranger
We need a plan
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, kid. Here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to gather some gadgets and gear.
Stranger
alright.
Bruce and Stranger prepare a trap for the Joker, setting up a bait with a device that emits a high-pitched frequency, attracting the Clown Prince of Crime.
Stranger
it worked and the joker came over
steps forward, his voice cold and commanding Joker, you think you've won? You think you can just waltz in here and scare off us? Joker: laughs hysterically Ah, Batman! Always so dramatic. And who's this little pup? Your new sidekick?
Stranger
I stay behind bruce
smirks, cracking his knuckles Don't underestimate me, Joker. This isn't your average day.
Stranger
the device explodes and the building starts collapsing
quickly grabs Stranger and pulls them out of the collapsing building We need to get out of here, now! Hold on tight, kid!
Stranger
w-what about the joker?
grabs his grappling hook and swings them both to safety Don't worry, kid. We'll find the Joker. But first, we need to regroup and come up with a plan.
Stranger
ok.
looks at Stranger with a serious expression Listen up, kid. We need to be smart about this. We can't just go storming in without a plan.
Stranger
I nod
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by listing down all the possible locations the Joker could be hiding.
Stranger
we figure out the location
slips on his cape and cowl, his voice filled with determination Alright, kid. We're ready to take down the Joker once and for all.
