It was a bright sunny day. The children merrily skipped through the streets into the schools. From the distance cars lined up to drop their young off for their daily dose of education. From that point the parents would take off to whatever destination they pleased. Whether it be to an office building, a mechanics garage, maybe even a restaurant. Or just simply back home to take care of things around the house. None of them would guess that theyre kids ranging from 2-4 years old were to become a target of a psychotic, mass murderers plot.
At an unknown location, a twisted laugh echoed throughout the dark, blood stained building. His joy being expressed was because he had just received a phone call from one of his goons, letting him know that everything was in place, and it was time to commence phase 1. His demands to all of the super hero's were quite simple. Though the person who got the simplest, retaliated the harshest. His first target would be the one known as Green Lantern. He was viewed as a hero, a man who would do anything for the sake of justice. At least, many thought anything.. It came down to his last chance to make this decision. If he made the wrong one, then he would easily turn from hero, to villain. Some may even forget about the real mastermind of the plot, just to despise the man who allowed it to happen due to pride.
It was a well known fact that most Gothamites listened to radio, or watched the morning news. It was time for hell on earth.
Nestled into the seats of their cars, stuck in a traffic jam, or sitting in an office with the radio up, or washing dishes with the tv blaring, his public service announcement would come in quite clearly, and abruptly.
The usual anchorman's voice and figure were quickly faded by static. It was then that the jokers painted, and scarred face came into view, holding a hand held home camera up to his face. The peoples attention was then grabbed by that familiar laugh. A laugh that would send chills up the bravest of men's spines. The Jokers face was shoved into the camera. His scars and face paint clearly visible.
"Dear great citizens of Gotham.. You have all learned to put your faith and trust in these so called heros, and learned to despise men such as me.. They teach you to not be afraid of people like me, that they can save you through anything. But a simple question.. What if they couldn't save you? Or, an even better question. What if they couldnt save the most valuable thing to your lives.. Oh, like say I have bombs planted in every daycare center IN THE CITY!!! And on top of that, your children have been breathing a toxin that causes a deep sleep for close to 15 minutes now."
He yelled out the last words following another hideous laugh. At this point he knew all the people listening to him had to be in major shock. Some parents may jump in their cars and try to get to the daycares, but because of other parents and emergency vehicles, it will just create accidents and traffic jams. It will be mass chaos in the streets
"I made a demand not too long ago. That the one who you all love.. The guy with the green ring.. Do something simple, real simple, and just give that itty bitty piece of scrap around his finger, to the catwoman, and he refused! This brings me back to my demand. The Green Lantern is to GIVE HIS RING to the CATWOMAN. If this is not done in 25 minutes, and made public, all of YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE!!! decisions on you green lantern, pride or blood!!"
The tvs and radios shut off and went back to the former anchorman.
As the Joker went to take a seat and watched the television for his demands to be met, he could already see from a news chopper several accidents already blocking off roads. He tossed the detonator to all the bombs up in his hand. They're were approximately 5 daycare's in the area, and all the people inside of it were passed out. So they're would be no internal evacuation, and there's no way he would be able to help all of them. He had a decision to make, and if it were the wrong one, he would find himself as the villain just as the Joker did.
