Who: Tim Drake - mostdangerousbird, The Joker - thelastlaugh, and everyone else joining in.
What: Joker Plot Wrap Up
When: July 4
Where: Lake Michigan/Chicago
Content Warnings: The usual Joker jerkishness, near drowning

The Joker had left some hints as to what he was doing, but then he always left a few. He's not like the Riddler, compulsively trying to get caught.

But the Bat can't show up to play unless he has directions to the party.

In Gotham, a situation like this, the Joker would want the Bat to have to choose between a Robin and a city to save.

Still, the group figured it out in time to actually try and save both.

But they'll have to work fast.

No.

[He won't. They won't. ]

Other people are handling the boat and evacuations, and thanks to you they had a lot of time to get people out. Bats is going after the clown. There's nobody like Nightwing or Alfred to drop you off with. Someone needs to take care of you.

So you can choose where to go for help but you don't have a choice on us getting you there and keeping you safe from him until they bring him in.

[Bart can't help the rueful chuckle that escapes him.]

If you think we're going to leave you anywhere, you're hiding more hits to the head than that video showed. That boat's not making landfall, more like escape velocity. Even Bats is okay with taking advantage of the power levels that can be brought to bear in situations like this.

So, we can go to find someone with actual medical expertise, or we can go somewhere out of the way, in which case we're staying close in case you relapse or something. Trust me, healing quickly isn't always a good thing.

[ There’s a suspicious pause because, yes, Tim took a significant number of hits to head and elsewhere before the stream started. He thinks. It’s foggy. Admitting that won’t help.

Oh, but Bart’s maybe added in an option for less notice and oversight. ]

Somewhere out of the way.

[ He’s not verbally agreeing to them staying with him. He’s just conceding. He’s exhausted, and the adrenaline is fading fast. They can do what they want - towels, moving him. Tim just wants it to stop hurting. ]
