[Before the chapter starts, I would like to warn you that I am changing little things in the story that happened on Earth-22, so if you see something outside of DC's original storyline, I suggest you ignore it.]
Earth-22
Mount of justice.
"Bruce ... what are you doing !?" Kara Zor-El screamed in horror when she saw the dead bodies of several heroes who were friends of hers.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Bruce laughed with a laugh very similar to that of a certain crazy clown. "This is so fun."
He takes something out of his pockets, revealing that he has some black Kryptonite, he looks at Power Girl and smiles.
“When I was Bruce Wayne, I thought that with enough preparation, I would always win. But, I was wrong. I was caught up in an invincible war, refusing to see the obvious answers right in front of me. The answers that are so clear to me now with the victory just around the corner. To win, you need to adapt and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh at all restrictions. Everything is holding you back. You see ... a Batman who laughs ... is a Batman who always wins. ”
“You went crazy !! What happened to you, Bruce !? ”
Bruce took the black Kryptonite and put it in a revolver and pointed it at Kara.
Kara Zor-El didn't know what was going on in Gotham City, she was quietly living with her adoptive parents. After all, she was on vacation, she wanted to have some time with her family and not have to think about something related to being a hero.
She was living peacefully and didn't realize that Joker was going crazy and causing a massacre in Gotham, Joker was killing all of Batman's villains, he didn't spare anyone.
It all started when Joker started a murder spree in Gotham City, when he was dying from the same chemicals that made him what he was. He killed all of Batman's enemies, including the Penguin, Catwoman, Crocodile and the Ventriloquist.
Joker also killed Batman's friend Jim Gordon, on the day that all these changes were happening in Gotham, Kara Zor-El was quietly spending time with her adoptive family.
No one can blame her, a hero's life was difficult and stressful, even for an alien with powers that look like a god, sometimes they just want to rest.
The day she returned from her vacation, she saw the scene she is currently witnessing, Batman who was always a serious hero, now had a huge smile on his face as he stepped on the corpses of the heroes she once worked with.
Seeing the bodies of her companions, hearing Batman's disturbing laugh, anger clouded her judgment, she jumped towards Batman with the intention of killing him.
* Bang! *
A black Kryptonite bullet flew towards Kara, but before the bullet penetrated the heroine's body, she was saved by someone.
"Kal-El !!" She screamed in horror when she saw the bullet pierce her cousin's body.
"Cough" Superman coughs blood on the floor.
She started to blame herself for what was going on, if she didn't lose control of herself it wouldn't have happened.
Kal-El looked at Batman. "What did you do with Lois and my son Jon !?" He ignores the bullet wound and questions Batman.
Batman's smile grows, he intended to test the effects of black Kryptonite on Kara who was also a Kryptonian, but now that Superman has appeared and taken the damage for himself, this is still a result that pleases him. “HAHAHAHAHA, I wonder what I did to them? After killing so many people, my memory is a little confused. HAHAHAHAHA. ” Batman laughed like this was the funniest joke in the world.
* Cough *
Superman again coughs up blood on the floor and kneels.
"Bruce ..." A boy wearing a hero costume that had a big 'R' appeared, he had an expression as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Kara looks at the approaching boy and realizes it's Robin. "Robin get out of here and tell everyone what's going on!" She ordered.
Kara takes away Robin's attention, and thinks about what to do. As a heroine her response was immediate, she first has to save her cousin. When she goes to support Kal-El on the shoulders, she suddenly feels something piercing her belly.
She looks down and sees Robin holding a green Kryptonite dagger. "... Why ...?" The last thing she saw when she fell unconscious was Robin's smile, which was very similar to Batman's.
"Kara !!" Superman coughs up blood on the floor and tries to punch Robin, but the boy just dodges while laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
Robin and Batman laugh together watching the state of Superman and Power Girl.
"Flash!!" Kal-El shouted.
"Oh?" Batman commented a little surprised, he was sure he had killed Flash before, 'do I have amnesia?' he asked himself.
A red streak suddenly appears and saves Kara, he runs towards a small Kryptonian ship that was located on the Mount of Justice. "Stay safe, Kara." Flash spoke and started typing at high speed.
Seeing the ship leaving for the sky, he took the communicator and said: "Diana, the ship has left, Kara is safe."
"And Kal-El?" Diana who was at Themyscira asked.
"Probably dead or crazy, anyway, this is not a good result for us." Barry spoke in an emotionless voice.
"What are you going to do now? Are you going to come back again? ”
"Yes, this time, I sent Kara to a universe where she can help us, I didn't do that the other times. I hope the future changes with this difference."
"What if the future doesn't change?"
"I just have to try as many times as necessary." Barry said, he looks back and sees Batman approaching him while dragging Superman with a chain around his neck, beside him were several 'Robins' who had smiles similar to those of the Joker.
"The Batman who laughs should not be created."
Diana sighs. "Run ... Barry, just run."
Barry displays a sad smile, he thought, 'How many times have you said that word to me?'
"Yes, I will ... We will see it in a flash." Barry hangs up the communicator and runs!
He runs the mount of justice several times, then he runs towards the sea.
* BOOOOOOOOOOM! *
Several sonic booms are heard, then a singularity is formed and Barry enters it.
