Five minutes later, Alfred ran outside, seeing a familiar shape arrive. He smiled in relief, a sigh escaping his lips. He looked at his ripped up suit, but did not care. At this point, he cared only about his Master's safety. He hoped that the clown and Robin brought something to defeat Superman with.
Something must calm his destructive ways and rage.

Joker landed carefully onto the snow and saw Alfred. Robin opened the door and climbed out of the jet, running to Alfred and hugging him. The clown chuckled softly, taking out the keys from the ignition slot and climbing out of the jet as well. He locked all the doors and walked up to the butler who looked as if he had just been through a violent war. Alfred smiled at Joker and his eyes widened as the pale man gave the butler the keys to the jet.

"It's best if you go back," he said calmly. "I think we got this."

"Are you sure?" Alfred asked, raising an eyebrow to Robin and the clown. "We are talking about Supe-"

"Superlame," Joker cut in, making Robin giggle. "We know. But we don't want you to get killed off for no reason. You already did enough. Don't you think so, Robin?"

The freckled face boy nodded and smiled at Alfred, "you deserve a little break! You did enough work for now!"

Alfred took in some of the cold air into his lungs and exhaled. He looked at Joker with serious eyes. "Alright. I guess it is a good idea, then. Just in case any criminals decide to run loose back at Gotham, I will go back. Please, be careful. We all should know how violent Superman can be."

Joker nodded and bit his lip, "I made a little secret weapon for Superlame just in case he tries anything."

Alfred nodded and pat Robin's head "Then, I'll leave you two to it. Please be careful." They both nodded as they headed towards the door. A few moments later, Alfred had left and went back to Gotham City.

Joker looked at Robin, smiling to the young boy. The two then entered inside the Fortress of Solitude, feeling the even colder air hit their faces. The clown bit his lip, remembering his nightmare from earlier that day. It seemed that the dream had turned into a reality. The only difference was that he was not alone. He was accompanied by the Boy Wonder, who stood by his side, and Joker was not running, not yet at least.

Then it hit the clown. He looked at Robin and grabbed his hand, tears beginning to form in the corners of his eyes. "We need to leave! Now!" He shouted silently in panic. Robin nodded as they ran towards a loud crash, screams followed afterwords. Joker's tears began to fall as he remembered what the caped crusader looked like in the nightmare. How the blood treckled down the Dark Knight's bruised bottom lip. The thoughts made the clown tremble as they ran closer to an empty space area. Robin gasped as he saw Superman choking his father in the air. Batman continued to thrash and try to loosen the other's grip, only making it slightly worse.

Joker growled and gritted his teeth in anger and fear; bottom lip quivering and eyes turning into sharp knives. Robin could tell that the pale man was very angry at the, so called, 'superhero'. It was very obvious.
"We'll stop him, Mister Joker! Let's go!" He whispered, determination glistening in his eyes.

The clown nodded, gripping onto Robin's hand as they followed the flying superhero. The freckled face boy and the clown went into several corners rapidly so that Superman did not notice them. But then, it hit the Joker in the blink of an eye. He looked at Boy Wonder and smirked.
"Can you distract Superlame for me? I can help your da- I mean- Padre and stop him!" Joker said in a whisper.

Robin nodded and gave a thumbs up to the Joker, "you got it!"

Joker smiled at the little boy and hugged him tightly, more tears escaping his eyes. He then said, "please be careful. I can't lose you and Batsy."

Robin smiled and returned the hug to the clown, wrapping his arms around him. "I promise, Joker. I'll be safe!"

Joker nodded and let go of the little boy and watched as he ran to the floating superhero, shivering slightly in fear. But as soon as he relaxed his pounding heart, he called out in a loud yell, "Hey, Superlame! Bet you can't catch me!"

This made the man in tights growl, eye twitching in irritation. He then flew towards the small boy and throwing the Dark Knight down onto the ground. Batman landed on his right side and looked up, a terrified gasp escaped his mouth. Robin ran around the room as Superman tried to grab him, frequently missing the small boy. This enraged the superhero more as he began to throw large icebergs at Robin. He jumped on them and did several flips and somersaults.

But then, the superhero grinned wickedly and began to ignore the boy, flying back to the injured Dark Knight to finish him off. He grinned wickedly and could see the Joker in the corner of his left eye. The clown flinched as he noticed that the tight-wearing male saw him dead in sights. Superman chuckled darkly and hovered over at the caped crusader, a large smirk pressed firmly on his lips.

Batman winced in pain, trying to get up from his spot. Fresh cuts were all over his face, blood threatening to spill out at any moment as he tried to limp towards the entrance of the storage area. Joker wanted to cry right then and there. He remembered the dream again. He remembered how Batman was thrown against the wall and lasered to death. The look on Batman's face made the clown tremble with fear and anger, his fist clutched tightly as he let out a low growl from his throat. He didn't want it to happen in real life. And he would not let that happen.

Superman growled at the Dark Knight and grabbed him by the neck, throwing him at the ice-cold wall. His back collided with the wall, a rush of pain flooded through his body. His limp body then fell down onto the floor, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He tried to get up, but fell back down.

Robin saw this from afar amd gasped, tears forming his eyes. He couldn't take in what was happening. "Please, Superman! Don't do this!" He yelled, tears falling down his cheeks. He was afraid of what might happen.

Superman rolled his eyes at the boy, ignoring his pleads. He faced Batman and laughed at his weak-looking face. "And you thought you could beat me? How ironic!" He laughed at the caped crusader, his eyes widened in fear as Superman's eyes twitched.

Joker couldn't take this anymore. Superlame had gone too far, this time. Batman was his and and his alone. No one, other than the clown himself, could kill him. He pulled out the smoke bomb from his coat, shaking around the mixtures and gripped onto it tightly.

Suddenly, the Joker ran at full speed towards the injured Dark Knight, tears and anger burning in his eyes. He then faced Superman and grinned. "Say cheese!" He exclaimed, throwing the smoke bomb at the tight-wearing male, who wore a very confused look on his face.

Then, he was hit by the thick, green and white smoke. He coughed hard and felt his powers were seeping away quickly. Joker ran to Batman's side and teared up at the sight. The man in black tried to say something, but it was silenced by a laser-like sound. His eyes widened as he realised what had happened.

Joker was shot by Superman's burning laser eyes in the chest.

The clown screamed in pain, more tears falling down. His grin turning into a flat face as he fell on his knees, falling forwards onto the ice-cold floor.

When the smoke subsided, Superman expected to see a wounded Batman, but was surprised to see a wounded clown, laying down face-first to the floor. Robin gave out a terrified scream as he jumped down onto the many icebergs that had been previously thrown. Batman got up and limped over to the Joker, most of his strength slowly returned as he laid down before. Robin ran past the tight-wearing male, who was now on the floor on all fours. Tears blinded the freckled face boy's black, beady eyes as he ran to his father and the Joker.
