The last two days had been rather slow for the college student. Wandering around the University of Gotham Campus, a wall mounted TV caught his eye as it showed Gotham's own playboy billionaire philanthropist at a charity fund raiser. Pausing for a moment, Jacob Jackson or 'JJ' as his friends called him, couldn't help but be envious of a man like Bruce Wayne. Infathomable wealth, beautiful woman constantly fawning over him and who could forget the amazing cars? Lambos, Rolls, Bugatti, Bruce Wayne had them all. Heck, JJ wouldn't be surprised if Bruce Wayne could solve world hunger just by selling off his car collection. 

The fund raiser broadcast was cut short as it was interupted by a breaking news bulletin. It seemed that Gotham was having a rather busy night as both Deadshot and Bane were active. The live feed from the scene of Deadshot's hostage situation showed that there was already numerous police on the scene as well as a maniac in a letterman jacket. JJ wasn't about to get caught up in that mess, Bane however happened to be at the Ace Chemicals' building, the place notoriously known as the first sighting of the Joker. How very poetic that it could be the first place for the Fool to make a public appearance? Changing direction, JJ hurried back to his dorm, it looked like he was in need of a change of clothes. 

Cool night air filled his lungs as the Fool bounded from roof top to roof top propelled by the spring loaded shoes on his feet. The glowing green sign for Ace Chemicals appeared on the horizon as the Fool came to a stop, leaning over a ledge just in time to see some animated tree like create charge into the building. Could Bane have had a run in with the wrong chemical? Was that creature what was left of Bane? The Fool wasn't certain but the show certainly had to go on.

"Lets go spread some cheer." He cackled as he tapped the handle of his large mallet agains his free hand. Jumping down, the Fool ran towards the building sliding through the opening before springing onto the back of the giant wooden creature. 

"Watch out! Here comes Jack the Giant Slayer!" He cried, swinging his hammer down. "No I don't want to climb your beanstalk!" With another swing, he looked forward only to see Bane below the wooden monster struggling with the creature that the Fool had assualted. 

"One day we'll all laugh about this!" He yelled jumping to the ground as he pulled a handful of marbles from his satchel. "Or we could all lighten up right now!" He yelled as he shattered the small orbs on the ground releasing the gas within. 

"Hey Bane! Didn't the luchador style go out the same year your Mom and her army boots?" The Fool yelled as he threw a playing card towards the angry latino. "Hey man, I know what it's like to need a fix, I stay out of my way when I don't get my morning coffee but we have rules in this city. Rules that you sir have broken!" The smaller man taunted as he danced around Bane while avoiding the no doubt enraged walking tree. 

"First rule of Gotham though, you've got to smile!" The Fool cried as he wrapped his yo-yo around Bane's legs and tugged. It threw the man off balance but the Fool didn't anticipate for Bane to take a hold of the yo-yo's string and pull the Fool towards him. With a punch to the gut, the Fool flew backwards, winded as he slumped up against a wall. 

"Is that the... *cough* best you've got." The Fool sputtered as he tried to get up, for the first time just noticing Skeleton Jack in the room. "Oh hey! Did I miss Hallowe'en?"
