Damian's hand instantly went to the blade at his waist, his eyes ice-cold as he hissed through clenched teeth, "Shut up, you lunatic."
[Miaomiao, hurry.]
Tim had temporarily taken control of the security system here, but Batman had designed it himself. Even with Tim's extraordinary talent, he could only keep control for a short while without being detected.
Damian gave Miaomiao a look and let the Little Merfolk take center stage. He kept a vigilant watch, ready to act the moment anything unexpected happened.
"Oh~ Is this little bird coming to play with Uncle Joker today?" Joker stretched his enormous mouth into a grin, his expression deranged, as though he had spotted a dear friend. "Aha, I remember you~~ You may have changed your clothes, but Joker never gets it wrong!"
Joker suddenly pressed his face against the glass, making his already hideous features even more horrifying.
"Hey, sweetheart~~ What game are you going to play with Uncle Joker? I love games! And surprises!"
Miaomiao paid no further attention to Joker's endless chatter. She took the "gift" she had prepared for him out of her Utility Belt-
A handful of purplish-gray pearls, seemingly shrouded in mist, carrying the bitterness of seawater.
They were the sorrowful tears Miaomiao had shed when she had "run away from home."
Miaomiao then fished a few purplish-red pearls out of another compartment. These had come from the last time she had accidentally eaten one of Jason's beloved Extreme Heat hot dogs. Just looking at them brought back the agony, and she shuddered involuntarily.
If it hadn't been to deal with Joker, she never would have sneaked into Jason's place to steal these back. They were an essential prop for today! And the "grand gift" Miaomiao had prepared for Joker.
"Shh, quiet..."
Miaomiao's voice rose softly.
