Reckless, indeed ( ... )

The Joker said nothing, but only wiggled the gun at the computer, impatiently.

This was the room that the PDA had recorded before he jumped to shut it off. There was still MRE packaging and a couple of empty water bottles on the floor and around the desk. There was also a bottle of aspirin sitting beside the monitor. Opposite from the computer there was a bed, unmade, with military linens and a green wool blanket on it.

In the corner of the room there was a box of dynamite, grenades, some C4, and a few ammunition cans. There was also a small crate full of wires and odds and ends, which was, ostensibly, a pile of bomb parts.

The electric light flooded out the flame of the lamp that sat on top of the CPU. The monitor was showing a boot-up screen. Looked like Windows 98.

Noriko moved to the computer, though as she waited for it to boot up her eyes kept drifting back to the corner. She was drawn back to the day Stryker had blown up the bus of students, and she looked back to the screen uncomfortably.

Finally the screen finished loading, and she clicked about fairly quickly. She didn't have much time to spare. She couldn't get the internet to connect, whether it simply wasn't set up or wasn't working all together she didn't know, and she swore under her breath, pulling up a word document instead. Forge was smart. He could figure it out.

Forge ( ... )

The Joker was silent for the duration. He had occupied himself by picking up one of the half-eaten MRE packs and sitting on the bed, eating. As her time came to an end, there was a creak from the bed. Then the sound of the gun clicking as he decocked it.

He reared back, and in just enough time for her to turn around to see what he was doing, he pistol-whipped her across the head with the handle of the gun. And he was stronger than he looked- strong enough to knock her out, and out of the chair, with the one well-placed blow.

As he did before, he stood over her for a little while. The real debate was whether it would be better to kill her now or haul her ass back outside. Finally, with a, sigh of irritation, he holstered the pistol and stooped down.

Nori would come to a while later to find that he had stuffed her in a dumpster somewhere in Nesreca. Aside from being in the trash, two other things were off. One, she was missing her gauntlets. Two, there was a note pinned to her chest with a creepy smiley face on it.

It said, 'Smile!'
