Laughing gas or Venom? (Joker)

[Deleted]

Bane entered the east side of the city at a slow pace; it was almost midnight and the run down area was dark save for the moon shining over head. The man was dressed in his common style; a black skull themed mask, black long sleeved shirt and pants; both of which are form fitting to his muscular frame so as to flex with any possible movement. In addition he wore a pair of black combat boots; though there was the Venom dispersing apparatus on full display connected to Bane's body and slowly fed in the green liquid to keep him satiated in his addiction.

Now Bane was not afraid to walk out in public; if the Batman or anyone for that matter were to approach him he would fight them should the need arise. But even so many of the thugs in this area knew Bane by his looks and did not bother him. So the masked man made good time in reaching the safe house; and pushed the door open before he went in to see how much Venom had been produced by the machine that was put into action at the end of his last stay in this location.

so i wrote that the joker is already inside the house, if it's not okay please tell me and i will edit^^

The clown heard the noise of a door closing. He smiled and looked up from the thing that he was observing. He was wearing his suit, but it was a bit loosed, the sleeves were turned over his elbows and no coat, it was hunged up on the hall stand behind the door like he was in his house. The coat fall down when Bane pushed the door.

The Jester wasn't planning to hide himself from Bane because the Joker knew that it would have been a waste of time to do so in this house. It was too small and Bane knew it all. The Joker knew how skilled the strong-man was, especially in finding hidden people. Muscles and brain, Joker was impressed. He liked Bane and his green venom, the thing he was observing before Bane showed up. Unfortunately, the clown hadn't had much time to study the Venom, just few minutes before he was interrupted.

"Welcome back, hun!" the Joker opened his arms like he was waiting for a hug and walked in front of Bane "I'm sorry, I couldn't arrange the dinner, I got back just few minutes ago!" joking he was saying that he wasn't here since so much time ago and that he wasn't here for villain-things, or he was just acting like that. The Joker liked acting and all that theatrical-stuff.

However, the clown was prepared if Bane had a violent reaction to his presence. Surely masked-man here could understand Joker's real intention. The clown noticed his coat on the floor and made a face wanting to put it back.

Bane had heard the coat fall; and just let that go. It was a sign someone had been in the room; but if not for the coat's sound Bane would still have seen the clown standing over the Venom production system. Now Bane figured that Joker had not taken any of the drug; or he would most likely have been in a rage; and would have been much bigger than he was at this time. So Bane stepped forward and pushed the door closed behind him; and made his way straight to the clown. 

Yet when Joker spoke and posed for a hug Bane instead picked Joker up by his collar; grasping the knot of his tie  in a death grip as he did so. "I don't care how long you have been here. All that matters to me; is what you have done to my Venom; and why you would come here alone if at all. Though I doubt you have thought anything through to have a good enough reason for coming in here." And with that Bane looked into the clown's eyes through his mask; only to toss him onto the couch against the far wall; though with enough force to have the couch tilt a moment on its hind legs only to slam back down on all four legs as he approached once more.

No worries on him being there already. If you don't want to have Joker handled the way I posted; let me know and I am willing to edit it.

it's all ok!^^

Joker felt his feet lifted up from the floor and pain around his neck. His ears heard Bane's voice, the clown tried to reply but it was really difficult right now. All that came out from his throat were chokes, a little bit funny to see. When Bane looked at him, the clown couldn't help himself but making an "innocent smile" even though he was chocking. The clown always found funny that he couldn't really control his laughing or smiles. 

The Joker saw something into the masky-man's eyes, or maybe it was just the Joker's experience intuition "It will hurt..." the clown thought before being tossed around. His back hurt the couch deeply and all the air in his lungs left him in a second. After that his face and arms hit the floor, a bruise start appearing on his cheek.

Painfully, the clown started laughing while taking breaths. He grabbed the couch standing up and kept playing the part of the wife "Oh...You are always so hot-blooded! I will say that I stumled again..." the clown laughed "I have to do all in this house" the Joker mumbled trying to take his coat and dust it, but he saw Bane's figure came closer to him.

The clown smiled again and laughed, a tremling one, as if he was unnerved or something, but more likely he wasn't. Just acting...right? "You know, I am here for business! I like your product!" the clonw nodded stepping back from the approaching Bane.

[Deleted]

Once the couch settled and Joker began to catch his breath and started to laugh Bane had made it to the furniture. "You stumbled. You got hit by a car. Or you got on my bad side. I don't care what you tell your thugs. I know you wont go to the police or even Batman expecting help. The latter two would lock you up." Now Bane's voice remained calm; but he was at very least annoyed. Though the main annoyance was the fact that Joker had yet to answer about what he was doing to the drug. Bane didn't care about the comments about doing the work in the safe house.

But then Joker's voice faltered a little; and Bane did not trust it to be out of true fear. Joker was a regular resident of Arkham; and was one of the few who should be in there. But Bane was not one to force another into a prison himself. But the comment of business was something that Bane wanted to have explained. And as such the muscular man closed the distance between the two quickly and pushed the clown into a seated position on the couch; so as to stand looming over him and to appear more imposing. If he could psychologically force Joker to tell the truth he would. "What are you getting at? If you have a business proposal I will hear it out. But you double cross me; and you will be found in the gutter with my knife in your chest." And as he said this all Bane crossed his arms across his chest while waiting for an answer.

[The Joker]

The pain was like the audience of this show, he wasn't bothered by it unless the audience wasn't satisfied. Joker smiled, Bane wasn't catching the acting fact, that he was playing the part of the poor wife "Oh well, I'm not the damsel in distress right now" he replied giggling. However, he was annoyed that Bane wasn't seeing his wife acting...was he acting too bad or too good? Obviously, the clown thought of the latter, modesty aside.

When Bane talked about the knife in his chest, the Joker posed his fingers in a photographic fashion in front of his right eye "Well, it isn't a nice picture" then lowered his fingers on his growing bruise "Mhhh...instead this is more fashionable, I must admit that..." he laughed a little "...well, everything is fashionable on me" he winked, but noticing Bane's bad mood the clown coughed and started talking in a business way.

The clown liked playing games, every kind of them. Joker let Bane push him on the couch and looked up at him "See..." his gloved hands started folding his sleeves down slowly "...it seems that our venoms can be friends" his legs crossed "I think that our venoms can be bond together and create a new stronger version" he had an enthusiastic tone and he almost stood up, but he kept himself from doing that so he was still sat down on the couch.

The Joker sat back in a more comfortable position and kept eye contact with Bane "Think about the possibilities! Less side effects and more goodie effects!" the clown clapped his hands together producing a soft sounds because they were gloved. The Joker made a happy smile waiting for an answer.

[Deleted]

Bane knew too well what Joker was playing at with his wife act. But he hadn't been in the mood to play along. And he wasn't going to try and get Joker to stop laughing; after all he seemed to be the type to laugh at anything even if it didn't make sense to laugh at. As well the damsel comment would not be acknowledged; the muscle bound man wanted to get his 'guest' to focus if he could. Then when Joker responded to Bane's threat he clenched one hand into a fist; which caused his knuckles to pop softly, "If you think a bruise is fashionable I can certainly give you more if you keep playing around like this."

Though when Joker began to speak about bonding the different Venom drugs together he growled audibly and grabbed Joker's hair tightly and lifted him to be inches from his own masked face. "If you put anything in my Venom I will make sure you feel every bit of pain I inflict on you." Yet then he dropped the clown once more and sighed as he took a breath to calm himself. "But if you are thinking to make a mixture of our drugs for us to use on others; you must never taint my personal supplies." Normally Bane would not act out so rashly at such a minor stressor; but he was beginning to feel a twinge of withdrawal symptoms and pressed the button on his chest slightly to have another shot of his venom from the supply he wore injected into his body. This caused his muscles to tense and swell slightly and a low growl escaped his lips as it began to work. "Though anyone you give the venom to may perish. And it is even more likely that you will be unable to control them once the venom begins to work on their bodies."Personally Bane did not care about the people Joker may drug; but if he ended up fighting any of Joker's gang; he wanted to know if they would be like himself.

[The Joker]

The Joker was keeping playing the part even because Bane didn't like it. Joker found that very funny...but really...what does the clown not find funny? He lowered his eyes on Bane's fists listening to the answer "You would do this for me...?! Oh...you are always so kind!" the clown played again and giggled, however he put a gloved hand on his mouth to stop that giggle to become a real laugh...mh...was he keeping himself from laughing just for not being hit again...? What...?! The Joker let it out moving his head back and doing so he hit the head against the wall "Auch!" he moved a hand on his head.

Some seconds later the clown felt pain again, Bane had grabbed him. Joker was forced to face the masked man. Joker looked at him with a smirk just for annoying the strong man here even more, it wasn't a wise thing to do, but ehy...wise is boring. Instead Bane wasn't boring. Joker fell down again on the couch hitting his back "Ah...you know that I like it rough" the clown tried to laugh, but nothing came out from his red lips. Strange.

Joker stood up, the back hurt and he put a hand there complaing for the pain like an old man then took his coat from the floor. When he dusted it, he felt one less burden on his chest, a good sensation, then he put a hand into a pocket where there was a comb and a small handy-mirror, however the mirror had a rift because of the falling, didn't matter, more faces the clown could see of himself the better. The Jester brushed his green hair, feeling pain doing so because of Bane, "Per belle apparire bisogna soffrire" he whispered an italian saying and looked at his reflection. The bruise was still there, but the hair was in order at least. Chaos was hilarious, however chaosy-hair wasn't. Using the mirror, Joker could see behind him so he looked at Bane injecting a dose. The Joker smiled.

The comb and the mirror were put in the coat that was hanged up on the rack again, then he turned towards Bane "Don't worry" his tone was a serious-business one if a clown could be serious "I don't want to use our venoms against you..." he pointed to himself "...or me" Bane could use the new venom for attacking him too with new henchmen "I want to use it on..." Joker walked near Bane and grabbed his chin to make him face the clown "...Batman".

When the Joker commented on Bane's kindness the man was slightly amused at the idea that he was seen as kind by someone he has been threatening. But when the Joker stifled his laughter Bane felt he was making some headway; but he simply shook his head when the white skinned man hurt himself. Yet when Joker smiled at Bane's frustration the large man growled again; and in response to the comment about liking it rough Bane made one comment, "So you will love this then?" And with that Bane took a swing at Joker's ribs; yet he did hold back enough to keep the fool from needing a hospital. Not that Bane would take him for treatment if he needed it.

Then once Bane had finished taking his dosage he saw that the Joker had straightened up his appearance and hung his coat up once more; but paid no mind to both actions. And the promise to not have Bane's supply tainted was taken simply as a potential lie; and would need to be careful about his own supplies. Yet when the Joker finally said he wanted to drug the Batman Bane actually laughed at something the man claimed; even if his head was being held in place. "You want to use our drugs on the Batman? We don't even know how the cocktail will react on someone. And if you were in the same room as him I doubt he would hold back from killing you should it happen. But if you think you can handle him in that scenario I can help you." And as he said this last bit Bane stepped forward; so that his chest would push Joker back a bit. He had let the clown grab a hold of him; but he was still going to show that he was the one in control here.

[The Joker]

The Joker always noticed when he had amused someone and he did now, a step foward "I amused you, eh?" the clown smiled, but then the smile disappeared when Bane talked. He saw the swing, but couldn't do anything to stop it. His ribs screamed, however Joker didn't make a sound biting his lip for not yelling and he stopped breathing for few seconds "Oh...I'm lovin' it" he said like the mcdonalds' clown and took some breaths. His ribs weren't loving it by the way. He was wearing just a green shirt with purple trousers. He opened the shirt to see the bruises on his body "Thank you for hitting to make me more fashionable, but without making me go to the boo-center" that was the hospital. A laugh wanted to come out, but the rips protested so it came out like a painful laughter.

"I made you laugh too...I think we are making big steps in our relationship" a giggle then he listened to Bane's word about his Batsy "You know what they say, a bat in the hand is worth two in the belfry" a smile "You are nice to worry" a little bit of sarcasm. Joker made a face when Bane pushed him, his ribs made a face "I seriously can help you too with your venom, I can fix some of its side effects" his green eyes looked at the venom in the tubes on Bane's back.

Joker found funny that Bane let him grab his chin before, they were playing this game of the alpha man and the pain plus the bruises were saying that the big-strong man was winning. Joker buttoned the shirt up trying to not care about the pain, he was used to it and was having fun playing this alpha-game. Joker fixed the shirt's collar "We need human test subjects...my henchmen will be glad to play" the clown nodded "So...how can you help?" a smile showed up on the porcelain face.

[Deleted]

"A fool will amuse almost anyone at least once in his life." Bane responded to the initial comment; though the comment Joker made after being struck was not the real reaction he was hoping for. At very least Bane wanted to beat him into being serious if he could. "That blow was to show you to behave yourself. If you do anything to stab me in the back; you will wish I sent you to the hospital." And when the pained laughter came out Bane did feel a bit of enjoyment at Joker's momentary suffering; and the bruise that was coming about was only a little added success.

"I will admit you made me laugh. But that is because of how badly it could end for you. And do not take that as concern for you. I only state it to let you know that if you are in over your head I will not necessarily be there to pull you to safety." Bane said as he tried to set Joker straight on any potential occurrence they may run into. "Also. I do not want you doing anything to my own supplies. I make it myself; and I do not trust your warped brain to be able to work with it safely enough to use in my body. And as for the bat being in our hands; I would rather him in the grave. But how he gets there does not matter to me."

Then as Joker volunteered his men as test subjects Bane made his way to the drug producing machine and flicked it off so that it finished and the last of the venom was dumped into the storage tank it emptied into. At which point the large man began to put the Venom in a number of transportation capable bottles; yet these bottles were not the type to hook to his injection apparatus. "I can help by being a supplier. And if need be; I can attract the bat into a situation where he can be ambushed by your men." As he said this Bane moved over to a closet and began to rummage through it until he found a backpack fit for carrying camping supplies; one he had used in the past to transport gear from safe house to safe house. After which he tossed the bag to Joker and pointed at the full batch of bottled Venom, "You may take all of those bottles. Once you are finished with any of those; destroy the bottles and the bag. I do not want either back."

[The Joker]

"You mean a clown" the Joker smirked when Bane talk about the fool then he listened to Bane "Security lesson, got it" he nodded franatically. The Joker knew that Bane wanted to make him more serious, but Joker was a clown and a clown shouldn't be serious...a clown shouldn't be many things...like a crazy killer.

The clown raised his hands "Oh, I know, I know...I read the clause in small" then he tilted his head when Bane said that the clown here wasn't clever enough to make alterations to the Venom "Oh...you are right...I am just the creator of the most powerful and dangerous Venom in all Gotham, but yeah, I am not smarty-pants enough for your green-thing" Joker crossed his arms and looked away in a I'm-offended-manner, the theatrical way.

"I hope you don't matter because it matters to me" the Joker pointed to himself regarding the bat-grave "It's my business, capisce?" he talked like a mafioso and grinned then his eyes moved towards the bag filled with Bane's Venom "Don't need that" Joker shook his head when Bane suggested the idea about ambushing "I can attract my Batsy, always" the clown winked, however he was just joking. He was always joking, you know.

The Joker looked again at the bag and the venom inside, he approached it and took a bottle, his brows made a V...as he was serious now. He thought about their venoms and how they could be bonded. The brows stopped frowning and a smiled showed up again. Yeah, he smiled too much, but he had good reasons...most of the time and this was one of those times. He knew what to do or he believed he knew...he had few ideas.

"How much is your venom addictive?" the Joker asked with a business tone, it was similar to a serious one, almost. He put back the bottle in the bag and half-closed his eyes. Then suddenly, the Joker took back the bottle again and opened it, he placed the bottle on the table and took his acid from a pocket in the trousers, the acid was in a plastic container. The clown's tongue was outside his mouth. The acid was poured into the bottle and Joker closed the bottle right after, he didn't want any gas to come out from the bottle. It could hurt Bane and maybe the clown too. The Joker looked at the bottle and waited, his tongue still outside in a working-manner.

[Deleted]

"Yes a clown." Bane responded with an annoyed tone, but he didn't speak about the 'security lesson' comment. Instead he watched as Joker raised his hands defensively; making sure the white skinned man didn't try to hit him. But even when the man tried to act offended Bane pulled him closer once more; this time by his hair, "Most dangerous is right. And that is why I will not take anything you have worked on. I know your men have a low survival rate for what you give them.

Then when Joker said he could attract Batman himself he shrugged and released the Joker. "I am fine with watching from the sidelines if you wish to take Batman on on your own." Then while Joker looked over the drugs Bane made his way towards the machine to set it up for the next production cycle. "It has killed everyone I know has used it. And I need to take it multiple times a day. So I will let you decided if that is too addictive for your uses." While Bane saw that the Joker began to mix the drugs he took a step back; but saw the container get sealed right away, so at least that was good; it was not about to remain open.

[The Joker]

The Joker liked to be taken seriously and not viceversa, yes that was not right for a clown, however Bane was taking the clown seriously regardless of the clown thing, Joker was a clown in the end...even if he liked it or not. The Joker couldn't help himself but smile when Bane took him by his green hair "Be aware of the clown" he whispered at Bane's face after he spoke. Joker started laughing, he wanted to move his head backwards while laughing, but he couldn't do it because of Bane.

The clown passed an hand through his hair when Bane finally stopped grabbing it. Joker wanted to reply, but his attention was focused on the bottle. The green liquid was bubbling...maybe too much "Wait...wait for it...ohoh...oops!" Joker grabbed the bottle and opened a window then the clown put himself in a baseball position e throwed the bottle out of the window. The Joker put his fingers in his ears when the bottle hit the ground, however nothing happened...the fingers were took off from the ears and Joker looked at the bottle that was on the sidewalk in the street outside. The clown rose a brow and in that moment the bottle exploded "Oh well...I just invented a new type of grenade..." the acid was eating the sidewalk. Joker smiled "Oh well, you are the ace up in my sleeve...!" then he corrected himself immediately "Your sleeve...yours!" the clown coughed in a nervous manner.

[Deleted]

"I am well aware of you. And you should beware of others as well." Bane responded to the whisper directed at himself. But the loud laughter could be ignored for now. Yet when Joker tossed the new mixture outside the masked man growled and turned from the window to look at the Joker. And his mood only turned worse when he heard the explosion.

So in response to the foolish action of the Joker Bane took a swing at the man; aiming his fist at the suit clad man's shoulder. "You need to think when you are working with me! I do not need the cops coming here because you wanted to play with a chemical bomb!" And then the masked man moved towards the door and made sure that it was locked after first shutting the window once more. Then he regained his composure and turned once more to the Joker. "I am not the one planning this. Do not think that you need to patronize me to keep me calm. Though I doubt your deck would have anything but the joker cards in it if anything at all."
