Batman needed him back. His work could no longer satisfy the little bit inside of him that needed to be filled. He stood by the window, the window he'd left from. He ran a hand along the sill, sighing. He looked out into the city, feeling a strong sense of deja vu. 

Except this time he was going to do something about it. Bruce took a deep breath and leaped out of the window, cape flapping in the wind. He landed with grace, walking through the lamp lit city, not really knowing how to find the biggest threat Gotham had ever seen. 

Little did he know that the Joker was searching for him, and what he looked for he found. He stood in the light of a street lamp, make-up wiped off. Not that his face looked much less grotesque without it, but this was a special occasion. He saw the black figure that was the Batman jumping from building to building. Joker put a hand in the air, a tiny wave. 

Bruce was next to him in an instant, smile partially hidden by his cowl. "Well, if it isn't my favorite clown."

"My favorite flying marsupial." Joker said, grinning. 

"Bats aren't marsupials." Bruce corrected.

"Whatever."

"Why are you here?" 

"I've been standing here for a few minutes, you came to me. Why are you here?" Joker crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. 

Bruce chuckled, taking a step towards him, "I wanted to find you. I don't care if you want to leave or run, I'll hunt you down and drag you back again. I don't want you to be the one that got away."

Joker sighed, leaning against the post. "I don't know, Batsy. I'm not exactly a normal person."

"Neither am I. You told me that we're alike, when we're together, maybe we can, I don't know, help each other." He took another step toward him, placing a hand on his shoulder. 

Joker glanced at the hand, then at Bruce's face. He smiled, "That's all I've ever wanted."

Bruce grinned, putting his other arm on the Joker. He leaned down, pressing his lips to Joker's. The clown smiled into the kiss, wrapping his arms around the bigger man. Neither understood what they were doing, but they knew it was the start of something completely different and completely wonderful. 

Then the sirens began blaring through the city. Batman pulled back, sighing. "Guess that's my cue."

The Joker nodded, shaking his head. "I don't get why you do it."

"Same reason you do it, I guess. We're both crazy."

"No I'm not." he said, entirely serious.

Bruce nodded his head, pulling a grappling hook from his utility belt. "Meet you back at the house?"

Joker snorted. "You really think it's going to be that easy?"

Bruce furrowed his brows. "Yes?"

The green-haired man laughed, turning from Batman and walking off. "See you later, Batsy."

Then he was gone. Bruce frowned, but didn't have time to dwell on the matter, he had his duty to the city. He ran across the roof tops, a certain clown on his mind. He truly was obsessed with the man, his dark eyes seemed to linger in the corner of every thought he had; every action he took. 

Then he saw Two Face, holding Joker by the hair, gun against his temple. "Batman." the man said, glaring at him with pure hatred. 

"Let him go," he said in his deep voice.

Joker grinned, waving. "Hey Batsy dear, long time no see."

It hit him how odd this was, but he couldn't let him die. He would never let someone he cared for die again. Never. Two Face jerked the gun, bringing him back to the present. 

Police had already starting arriving. The useless law enforcement. "Let him go, Dent."

"That man is dead thanks to you," he pulled a coin from his pocket, "Heads, I shoot him; tails, I let him go and shoot you."

Joker's eyes widened. "That wasn't the deal!"

Batman turned his attention to the thin man. "You made a deal with this man? Why!"

"Because I needed to see if you'd save me." Joker said as if it were obvious. 

"You insane bastard!" Bruce leaped through the air, watching as Two Face tossed the coin into the air.

Bang

In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
