what am I doing more_surreal November 29 2011, 03:00:30 UTC

Calvin was really, really not supposed to sneak out of the house and fly around the City unsupervised, especially after dark, especially when the town was having another disaster. But he'd heard that there was a flaming lava fire hydrant somewhere out there, and he would never have forgiven himself if he passed up this chance to see something like that. It could be gone by morning! Really, all he was doing was keeping his priorities straight. It was a life skill.

A small boy in a red cape and cowl softly whooshed across the darkened City, looking for something amazing to be in awe of. He was alone, vulnerable, none too aware of his surroundings, and near the operating area of the City's newest (and temporary) hero.

Joker dropped the cutpurse he had been stalking to the sidewalk. The man was out cold but not dead.

"Think twice next time," he muttered and pulled a padded grapnel from under his cloak. Not as elegant as his erstwhile enemy's "Batclaw" but it did its job.

Just as he muscled his way to the roof he saw a streak of something approaching and his brain said the word "Superman" before he realized the figure was far too small.

Never a dull moment in this job.

He went into a crouch and hissed to the boy from the shadows as he passed.

"You! Stop!"

His voice had a sharp, steel edge to it.

If Calvin hadn't been airborne there would have been a screech as he came to an immediate and complete stop. There was no hesitation- that voice had to be obeyed. Common sense suddenly flooded him along with adrenaline, and he began to feel fear as he realized that he was a kid by himself in the dark.

"Who's there?" He called out.

Joker stepped from his shadows, eyes narrowing as he locked gazes with the boy.

"It is not safe out here."

Calvin couldn't meet that gaze for more than a second, and immediately looked away. It wasn't just how stern and parental it was- there was something else there, something really scary.

"Yeah, yeah I know. Actually, I was just on my way home now!" Except that home was in the opposite direction of where he had been flying, which meant that if he left for home now, scary mask guy would know he was lying...

Joker folded his arms over his chest and did his best to imitate Batman's intense stare.

"And where might 'home' be?"

His best was good. His best was very good. Calvin continued finding ways to avoid those eyes.

"Um... Hey, I'm not supposed to tell strangers where I live!" Fear was giving an unusual boost to Calvin's usually dormant common sense.

"Wherever it may be," Joker growled, "you'd best be going there."

And he strengthened his voice, tried to imbue it with more command.

"Now!"
