My Joker Lore 🃏

Most of this was already established when I started this AU last year but I decided to make some designs changes and tell the story again

Part 1: Gaggy

(Drawing from last year, reposting because these designs are mostly unchanged)

The Original Joker was one of Gotham's most feared gangsters, his clown persona was simply a theme he and his goons liked to put on in order to differentiate from other Gangs, like Penguin's or Black Mask's.

Gaggy was his right hand man, he took pleasure to deal with the Joker's dirty work and would always torture his captured enemies. One night while doing an operation inside the Ace Chemicals factory, Gaggy cornered Joker and told him how he could be so much more. The Joker did everything that he did for money, Gaggy thought that he could bring something different for this city.

Gaggy wanted to commit crimes to cause chaos, he said he could be the Joker that Gotham deserved. Joker screamed how no one would follow a freak like Gaggy, the gang was loyal to him.

Gaggy shot the Joker, who fell in a chemical pool under them. Gaggy recovered the body and was surprised to see that the substance bleached his dead boss's skin white like a ghost. "They are only loyal to me" he had said minutes earlier. They will continue to be loyal to the Joker. Gaggy cut the Joker's face off and strapped to his own, wearing it like a smiling mask.

Part 2: The New Joker

After the New Joker took over, the gang members that rejected him were executed in front of all the others, who were too scared to leave. His madness attracted new goons to the gang, the more violent kind that, just like the Joker, wanted to commit crimes not for money but for sadistic impulses. They took over the Ace Chemicals Factory as the new Joker base.

After months of chaos, the Batman finally arrested the Joker. He was sent to the Arkham Asylum and his "mask", which he kept preserved all these months, was discarded.

The Joker became obsessed with getting a new mask, he wanted his outside to look like the clown he felt inside. During his stay at the Asylum he was usually seen with a mask made of paper taped to his face, with a big smile drawn in the front.

After scaring off and harming many Arkham doctors, the Joker was left to the care of the new psychiatrist, Dr. Quinzel. Joker realized that Dr. Quinzel had a chaotic side that he hid deep down, just like he used to.

Harley Quinzel became the only Arkham employee the Joker would talk to. After months, Harley became convinced that Joker could help him become who he truly was, and that he wasn't that bad after all, he just saw things in a different way.

Harley "accidentally" let Joker escape, and while he was causing mayhem in the Asylum, Harley had one mission: get the Joker a new mask.

While all the guards were in the courtyard, Harley went down to the morgue. He got a sample of the same substance that bleached the old Joker's face, he would use it in a corpse and cut out a new mask to his beloved Joker. Before he could start, a coworker entered the room and saw Harley holding a scalpel and about to cut off a corpse's face. Harley threw the chemicals at him and cut his throat. It's not like he planned but he thought the Joker would appreciate the mask a lot more now.

The Joker escaped and met Harley outside of the Asylum, but getting a new mask wasn't enough to prove his loyalty. The Joker made Harley jump on those same chemicals at the Ace Chemicals Factory. It was painful but Harley survived, his skin and hair were bleached white and his eyes became red.

Part 3: Clown Prince of Crime

Harlequin became the Joker's right hand man, his agility as a former gymast were extremely useful.

After a while, Joker started to become paranoid about Harley. He was to him what he was to the Old Joker. What if Harley decided to betray him just like he did? Joker did not feel anything romantic for Harley, he was simply useful, but Harley's love for the clown was the only thing that made him sure he wouldn't be betrayed, so he had to keep Harley believing that he loved him back.

One day, one of the Joker's plans went wrong and a explosion from his own bombs burned him. He laughed maniacally while the fire burned his mask and destroyed his face, but after Harley put the fire down and took him back to the base he became weak and wasn't seen for weeks.

The explosion burned off his lips. "It's like you're smiling all the time!" said Harley, but a smile doesn't mean nothing if you're smiling all the time. The other gang members began to suspect that Joker was dying, and he became paranoid that Harley was trying to take his place.

Harlequin spent the day on a mission to get Clay Face's "magical lotion" that would be able to cure Joker's face and maybe bring his hopes up. As soon as he got home, Joker shot him before he could say anything. He fell through the window and supposedly died.

Joker might have been physically weak at that point, but he was crazier than ever, his new plan would make sure no one in Gotham would defy him.

He kidnapped Robin, bleached his skin and cut off his brand new mask. Only after that he put an end to the young man's misery. Now wearing the face of Batman's sidekick, everyone in Gotham knew he shouldn't be messed with.

What he doesn't know, is that his actions to keep his position will ultimately bring his dowfall, as both Harley and the Robin will return one day to seek revenge against the Clown Prince of Crime.

It took a long time to get there, but Dash quit bullying Danny when he realized he was in love with the little twerp. By the time they were 15, Danny realized that he liked the new and improved Dash, and decided to give him a go and they became boyfriend.

Everything crumbled at 16 when Dash discovered that he was actually adopted, and his biological parents were Harley Quinn and the Joker.

When Danny told his parents about that, his mom looked confused. “Honey,” Maddie began, “Don’t you remember that you’re Batman’s son?”

“What?!” Danny blurted out. “Don’t you think I’d remember something like that?”

“We told you when you were five and you said you didn’t care about that.” Maddie reminded him.

Turns out, Dash wasn’t the only one with surprise parents. Now neither of them knew what to do.

Iceberg Siren pt 1

**based on a prompt by @purple-goo-writes about Danny getting a job as a club singer for Penguin- I hope y'all like it!**

Oswald Cobblepot watched as his lounge’s newest acquisition crooned on stage, the crowd transfixed by the young man’s stunning voice. The Penguin was beginning to notice that the Iceberg’s profits went up by twenty percent every night this particular new hire was singing, and he had plans to promote the kid. Daniel Nightingale lived up to his name.

He’d stumbled into the young man in an alley, starving and beaten, and offered him a cleaning job. Daniel had taken him up on it, after his sharp blue eyes searched Oswald’s face like he could see his very soul. One of his bartenders had heard the young man singing while he worked a few weeks in, and soon enough, Daniel was the Iceberg’s crowning glory, even if he didn’t know it himself.

Oswald would make sure the young man knew how valuable he was to the Penguin and never left.

Danny gave a short bow to the crowd after his last song, and they all made noises of disappointment as he slipped off the stage through the door in the back. It had been several months since he’d started singing at the Iceberg, and he was thriving. Penguin had started paying him more for less work- Two nights a week he sang, enchanting the denizens of Gotham’s underworld.

It was probably cheating, that he was using some ghostly tricks picked up from Ember, but it’s not like the GIW existed in this universe to track him down.

“Siren! Boss wants you in the VIP lounge before you take off.”

Matt, his security detail, was waiting for him outside his dressing room.

“Sure! Walk me up?”

Danny winked at Matt, who just rolled his eyes.

“Happily married, Siren. Let’s go.”

With a laugh, Danny turned to head up the back steps to the VIP area, swinging his hips a little to make Matt sigh in exasperation.

He wasn’t truly interested in Matt- nor anyone else he’d met in the dimension, but as he began to be fed on a regular basis and filled out more, he found that people thought he was attractive, and he enjoyed the attention. It was far different from being reviled as a nerd or even as the local menace. The attention of people who wanted him felt easier to control even than the attention he received from the ghosts as their king.

The door to the VIP balcony swung open as he approached, and he was waved through. Plastering a sultry smile on his face, he slunk through the tables, winking at patrons as he made his way to his boss.

The Penguin was sitting in a comfortable chair on a raised dais, across the table from a man Danny hadn’t seen in the Iceberg before. The stranger was wearing a domino mask, and had a streak of white through otherwise black hair.

“Thank you for coming, Siren. Please, sit!”

An attendant melted out of the shadows with a third chair, placed beside the bossman. Danny smiled gratefully at the attendant and settled into the chair.

He wasn’t sure what Penguin wanted- sometimes he called Danny up just to show him off in his glittering dress that clung to his skin, and sometimes he called Danny up to read whether a person was trustworthy or not.

“Siren, Mr. Hood here was suggesting a possible business deal- why don’t you hear him out and tell me what you think?”

Ah, reading. Danny could do that.

“I don’t have time for nonsense, Cobblepot.”

The man’s growl raised goosebumps on Danny’s arms, and he had to take a moment to collect himself. Damned if that wasn’t sexy as hell.

“Oh, but Mister Hood, I’d love to hear about your business proposal! What my employer does with his money affects us too, you know- if the business proposal falls through….” Danny batted his eyelashes at the man. “I’m sure you know what happens to the bottom line.”

Red Hood sighed, and then began to explain himself.

Danny didn’t listen to the actual proposal more than he needed to make the appropriate noises. Instead he listened to the tone and cadence of the crime lord’s voice, the way his body moved as he spoke. Everything screamed sincerity, even the small, half-formed core pulsing in the man.

Wait. Hold up. Turn around, go back. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. A core? Here? In someone so clearly still living?

He would have to investigate, but later. His employer was beginning to look to him for a verdict.

“Wow! That sure does sound interesting,” simpering, Danny stood and wrapped an arm around Penguin’s shoulders. “I think you should hear him out, boss- he seems pretty up-and-up to me!”

Penguin smiled sharply up at him and then waved him away.

Danny could feel the stranger’s eyes on him as he left, swaying back to where Matt was waiting at the door.

~~

Look. Danny didn’t intend to get into this situation on his day off, but things just happened to him that didn’t happen to other people. Sam and Tucker would call it the “Fenton Luck”.

Danny didn’t think luck was involved at all.

If luck had been involved, the weird clown wouldn’t have attacked him with a crowbar. If luck had been involved, Danny wouldn’t have responded like he would with a ghost. If. Luck. Had. Been. Involved, the clown would not have flown back into a brick wall and then slumped like a marionette with it’s strings cut.

Stepping forward, Danny leaned down to check his victim’s pulse, but reeled back when he got a good look at the man’s face.

The Joker’s sightless eyes stared back up at him.

Ancients.

“Whatcha got there, sweet thing?”

Luck had nothing to do with anything in Danny’s life, ever. He was cursed somehow, that had to be it.

“A bagel?”

Harley Quinn hopped off the roof and came to investigate Danny’s dead body.

“Sure looks to me like an ex-boyfriend of mine, and not at all bagel shaped. You didn’t even leave a hole in him!”

“I’m…. Sorry?”

Harley grinned up at him, all teeth and a fierce light in her eyes.

“No need, sugar, you did a good thing. What I wonder is why the gas hasn’t triggered?”

Danny laughed nervously- he couldn’t help it, his fear response was laughter!

“Gas?”

“Mhmm! Had his body rigged, the bastard. Joker gas should have spread for six blocks or more when his vitals stopped.”

“Oh. I- you won’t tell the bats, will you?”

“My lips are sealed! I don’t owe Batsy anything!”

With a sigh, Danny shrugged.

“I’m a meta. Joker gas preys on fear, and so do I. The gas must have triggered, but I’m close enough that I filtered it pretty fast.”

Harley put her hands on her hips.

“Batsy doesn’t like metas much.”

“The Bat can suck it.”

She laughed and slung an arm over his shoulder.

“I like you, kid! Let me call my body disposal squad.”

“Oh. Okay.”

Ten minutes later, Poison Ivy and the Red Hood walked into the alley, looking around cautiously. Harley had talked Danny into braiding her hair, and was chatting amiably at Danny.

“-And that’s why Bill owes me a trip to Cabo. I don’t plan to collect, though, he’s just a henchman. Ives! Thanks for coming!”

Red Hood put his hands on his hips.

“I get why you called her, Harley, but why me?”

Harley tilted her head, pulling her hair out of Danny’s hands carelessly.

“You deserve to see him before he disappears, kid. The whole of Gotham deserves that, but we can’t risk it.”

“See who?”

She pointed at the body, and Red Hood went to inspect it. While he did so, Ivy walked up to Danny, peering down on him.

“I know you.”

“Hi, Dr. Isley.”

“I was right! You work for Oswald. Almost didn’t recognize you without your getup. I take it this was your doing?”

“Yes ma’am, although entirely on accident.”

She laughed, and Danny smiled too.

“One we’re all glad for. Thank you.”

There were stomping footsteps, and Red Hood was suddenly in front of them. Harley stood up from the box she’d been sitting on, shielding Danny with her body.

“You did this?”

Danny the angry pulsing of the Hood’s half-formed core. It felt similar to the way his own core had felt when he was forced away from Amity Park. He slid out from between Harley and Ivy and held out his hand.

Hood took it, whether on purpose or unconsciously.

“Hi. Danny Nightingale. I just avenged thousands by accident. Please don’t kill me.”

The pulsing turned from anger to relief, and the Red Hood laughed. It sounded odd through the modulator in the helmet, but Danny smiled along nonetheless.
