Flying Solo 21: What Is Wrong With My Future...?! (Locked to Terry & Terra)

Terry!

A little Bat mentioned that I shouldn't take on the Joker alone.

Any reason why she would mention that unless something happens to me that involves the Joker...?

Tell me I'm wrong, Terry.

Terra...I might need a little more time off than I thought. Let me know if you get the okay for being released, and we can see about heading to the ( Read more... )

CRAP

I hope you're sitting down. Because right now? I'm hoping that you being here has changed everything I'm about to tell you.

...This isn't gonna be good, is it?

And yeah-I'm sitting down. At least for now.

No. It isn't.

...

40 years from my time, you'll be ambushed by Harley Quinn and taken to the Joker. He'll torture you, break you... turn you into his 'son'. Bruce and Barbara will find you more or less a former shell of yourself...

...and in one last act, you'll end up killing the Joker. It would take you two years to recover from that, but that was it. Batman, Robin and Batgirl as a team were no more. You and Barbara would retire after that. It would take Bruce 20 more years to retire as well.

Believe me, Tim. I've mulled on telling you this ever since you came here. Kelsey knows about this, as does Clark. The only reason we haven't told you before now is because we didn't know what may happen if we did.

Right now? After hearing about all these alternate universes?

I have no doubt in my mind that you being here in the Digital World has prevented that...

...but, at the very least, keep on your guard. And DON'T go after the Joker on your own - no, correction - DON'T go after him alone OR just with your partner PERIOD.

...This is 'cause of what happened with that other Batman, isn't it?! I nearly get skewered by an evil version of our mentor, so you don't think I'll be able to take care of myself and X!

And I haven't stopped looking over my shoulder since I started patrolling again! Sure it's been light, but it's still patrolling!

What!? No! I'm just saying don't go after him on your own!

...

The reason why I know about all this, Tim? The reason why I worry even now? Is because in my time, the Joker comes back...

...and he's YOU.

Believe me - I'd rather be Batman than the Joker...

...How the heck did I end up becoming the Joker after surviving all that?!

He implanted a chip inside you during that torture - something he stole from Cadmus and imprinting his DNA onto. It didn't kick in until years later, but even then...

...it was like the Joker somehow gained Bruce's skills - or even worse, Bruce BECAME the Joker.

It makes me glad he doesn't have this kind of technology here in the Digital World.

...You're not the only one who's glad he can't get that kind of technology here!
