DC x DP prompt - Dead Joker (yippee)
So Danny ends up in Gotham, typical stuff. Bad reveal? School? Runaway? Ghost king business? Whatever.
But as soon as he steps into the threshold, everything's screaming and wailing and crying because the souls of the dead are so angry and so scared and so sad and everything else dead people feel after an unjust murder for "humour".
Danny, obviously, can't sleep because well who can sleep listening to children sobbing? (There's a faint sound of laughter if he focuses hard enough, it's always there)
And he ends up in Arkham because he's crashing out so hard he might be going insane. But he doesn't know where's worse. Gotham, he has to fend for himself with a chance of bats and being shot/stabbed but he's basically free? Or Arkham, he's got everything given to him... But he has to be poked with needles and is that the fucking Joker surrounded by angry spirits??
Yeah, he thinks the outside is better.
He's going crazy and they won't let him out of the asylum because he's a medical anomaly and he's clearly insane (rude, it's the fucking clown who's driving him up the walls.)
There's an breakout at some point for plot reasons and Danny's running around the facility trying to find an exit because he refuses to spend another second with that failed clown (clowns are supposed to be funny? Why isn't he funny? Why aren't clowns funny anymore?)
Who does he find? The clown he's trying to avoid. Joker goes on his whole monologue about Batman and Jokes and whatever it is the Joker talks about.
Danny is not taking it so he just grabs a gun from the guard that's dead nearby (maybe he already grabbed it because murder is mostly justified when you're trying to escape Arkham?) and he shoots Joker in the neck.
Why? Because I want that guy to suffer Because Danny wasn't thinking, he was running on 3 hours of sleep he had 4 days ago and very little caffeine and ectoplasm.
And suddenly everything is quiet, the crying spirits are quiet -er at least. And Danny feels a huge weight off his shoulders and Danny just curls up into a ball and sleeps.
Chaos ensues. Because if not chaos why chaos shaped?
