Prepare to have an extremely OOC Joker... sry :(

A psychotic laugh rang through the old warehouse building, echoing off of the walls. Surprisingly enough. it hadn't come from Renegade, but he certainly had been the cause of the cackling.

"You're funny, you know that? I could get myself a kid like you." The Joker sent his signature smile.

"That's what I keep telling everyone, but no one ever believes me! Especially Batman!" Renegade agreed. He was quite the comedian, or at least he thought so.

"Don't get me started on the Bat, he's such a buzzkill." The Jokers words reminded Renegade of an old joke he had made.

"Maybe we should call him... the Bee-man. Ba-dumsss." Renegade made the drum noise on his own.

Renegade was met with loud obnoxious laughs from the Joker,"Harley is going to love you! You know, after I break her out of Arkham."

"Let me guess, the bat." He was referring to who had put her in there. Obviously it was Batman. The police force of Gotham city were not exactly great at their own job.

The Joker nodded and let out an angry grunt,"If only I knew who was behind that mask!"

Renegade shrugged,"He's probably really ugly anyways. Someone without a life would have to do what he does every night."

The Joker let out a small cackle.

Renegade laughed along until smoke suddenly filled the room, blinding the two criminals. He couldn't see anything more than a foot in front of him, but he could hear the Joker shouting,"Who did this?!" Then the sound of punching was heard and his shouts were silenced.

Renegade turned quickly to run, but was ultimately stopped by a deep familiar voice,"Renegade, stop."

The boy paused as he was asked to do and stomped his foot,"Why must you ruin all of my tea parties? First it was Ivy, then Riddler, now the Joker?! Can't you go find ruin someone else's day?"

"I told you to stop killing and the next thing you do is start conspiring with psychotic killers?" Sure, Renegade was all for killing criminals who deserved it, but he wouldn't even dare to attempt someone like the Joker. Yes, he would probably easily take him down, but he knew his boundaries, and feared the consequences that would follow if he overstepped them. Therefore, he just decided to become allies with the "top baddies".

"I need friends,"He shrugged,"You are the one who said that I should go hang out with friends. Plus, you shouldn't be judging, I know what you and Cat Woman do at night." He shook his head like a disappointed parent,"Tsk, tsk."

The Dark Knight was rendered speechless causing the ebony haired boy to smirk.

"I've tried to help you, but you've left me with no choice but to-"

"Nope," The teen interrupted,"You said you'd intervene when I killed another person? Have I done that yet? Nope! Nope! Nope! So... Leave before you make a fool out of yourself. Actually it's too late for that..."

"Renegade, I know you tried to kill someone the other day."

Renegade smiled sheepishly.

"You believe that I, the perfect little Boy Scout that I am, would kill someone? Oh dear no, you must be mistaken. I actually earned my honors badge the other day!" He kept up his Boy Scout lie.

"I have sources telling me so."

Renegade then recalled the strange team he encountered the other night,"Hm... Bats, we gotta talk. You mind if I rant?"

"This is not the time for-"

"Perfect! I knew you would come through! Sooo, yesterday I was just minding my own business when suddenly, BAM, I'm attacked, and get this, by a living bonfire none the less! Now imagine how terrified, I, a defenseless young boy was! This bonfire began torturing me, determined to get info from me! But I was resilient, and was able to withstand his cruel tormenting. Luckily I was able to escape his clutches! But just when I thought it was all over, he unleashed his secret weapon... A flying green female! You have go understand that this all as very dramatic for a young inexperienced brain such as mine."

"Renegade-"

"Shut up, I'm not done. How rude, interrupting like that... Anyways!" He went on continuing his experience with the team in a slightly warped way,"They threw me off the building! Can you believe that? And the bonfire took my ammo and gun too! That was my favorite gun... We've killed so many people together." He shed a small tear,"I mean... We've hunted together.... yeah.... Hunted... deer....?"He winked.

"That was-"

"I'm almost done! The point of what I'm trying to say is that.... Batman, I'm no killer. I'm merely a small little boy trying to find his place in the world all while trying not to be killed by a group of kids my age. I just want to grow up and pursue my career of acting and walk the red carpet like I was meant to..."

"Are you done yet?"

"Not yet- I want to hear people calling my name and cheering me on,"He looked up as if he were watching something,"Renegade! Renegade!"

Batman was not amused.

Renegade rolled his eyes,"Okay, I'm done."

"The teenagers you encountered last night was the team." The Dark Knight looked absolutely done with the younger boy.

"The team?"

"They were my source." Batman decided against giving him too much information about them.

"So they told told you a bunch of false information about me so they would seem like the good guys? Wow.... that's low. Who would ever do such a horrendous thing?"

"I gave you a chance to fix your life and get away from all of this, why continue to kill?"

Renegade shrugged,"Why do you dress up as a bat every night? We all have our hobbies. Now I will be sending the bill of the gun and ammo to you and hopefully you can get it to your brightly colored friend."

Batman didn't reply.

"You know, uh... what's his name? Quicksilver? No, wrong speedster... uh...Kid Flash!"

A loud feminine scream was then heard, soon followed by the brute yelling of a male.

"Stay here, that's an order." And with the swoosh of his cape, Batman was gone.

"That's an order," Renegade mocked,"Who do you think you are giving me orders? The only orders I take from people are orders of food."

As expected, Renegade followed the path Batman took towards the screaming.

He eventyally found himself in an alleyway and once there he was met with the sight of a terrified woman cowering from a male who Batman was currently fighting.

"Talk about cliche," Renegade shook his head,"Might as well be a fan fiction."

Strangely, Batman seemed to be taking quite a bit of time to knock the man unconscious.

"Renegade to the rescue!" The boy pulled the gun from his utility belt, sending a bullet towards the mans head. Within a second, he was dead on the cement ground. Though this seemed to only scare the female more as she backed away from the two males.

Batman sent a glare up to Renegade before returning the purse to the woman,"Who are you?" She asked Renegade shakily.

"Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-man!"

She seemed confused.

"Oops, wrong universe!" She darted away before he could say any more,"I need to stop doing that!"

"You killed another man. You broke the deal." Batman approached Renegade quickly.

"The deal?" Then Renegade gasped and put his hand to his mouth just to add emphasis,"The deal..." Truly he had forgotten about that despite the fact that it was mentioned less than due minutes ago,"I helped that woman though! I did good! I should get at least one more kill before you lock me up. You know, a get-out-of-jail-free card?"

"I had it under control. You did not need to intervene, especially not in the way that you did."

The teen rolled his eyes as he let out a sarcastic remark,"If that was in control, then so is my life."

Batman pulled out a small pair of handcuffs from his utility belt.

"Ha, but no can do. I refuse to succumb to your kinks,"Renegade then dropped several smoke bombs that prevented him from being seen, allowing him to make an easy escape,"Maybe next time Batsy!"

Oh so many Marvel references....

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Guys.... I'm planning another AU, but I'm not sure if I should wait until I finish this one or just do both...
