Chapter 113: 109: Warning to whom?
As for me, the best solution would be - not to touch the Joker. At least, not a fatal outcome for the latter. The fact that Bruce is trying with all his might not to kill this crazy comedian is his greatest service to humanity. His words that if he kills the clown, another, more dangerous enemy may take his place are completely justified. As for me, today's revelation gave birth to many thoughts in me and prompted comprehensive reflections.
When I had no doubt that Delirium was standing behind the Joker, the image of her older sister, the strongest representative of the Eternal family, Death, appeared in my thoughts. When I woke up in this world, I was already in this body.
Then a completely reasonable question arose, and there was a logical answer to it... Alex Reath, who lived in this world, died. That's when my soul entered his body, and we, as they say, rose from the dead. But does Death know about this metamorphosis? In theory, it should, like all the omnipotent beings in this Multiverse, but for some reason I'm sure that their radars still haven't detected the fact of my existence.
The answer to such an impossible phenomenon lies in my passive skill - Player's Mind. Because of it, no one can read my thoughts and figure out my intentions. And because my soul did not originally belong to this world, none of them can know my fate, my past and my future.
All this is on the other side of the Universe, a place so far that they don't even know the path of it.
I'm like a pebble thrown into the time of this world, capable of changing the course of history with my presence. Thus, even with the help of one of the gems of infinity - the time stone, no one will be able to see my future. But I'm afraid that the other abilities of the stone will still affect me.
Like the time loop or excessive aging... Unfortunately, this also means that I am not immortal. If I die, Death will come for my soul, although it will be quite unexpected for it: taking the life of the same person twice.
True, if I start interfering too much in the lives of others and influencing their final outcome, then they will find out about me. It doesn't matter, one way or another, sooner or later it will happen. So there is no point in worrying about it.
Today I became convinced that my intuition is capable of sensing even creatures whose powers are in the circles of the highest echelons of the Universe. And these powerful creatures cannot overcome the barrier imposed in my consciousness by the Player's Mind. And this means that the one who gave me the system and transferred me to this world is one step higher. And if we assume that the Presence or TOAA, I don't know who is the highest God in this united world, are in blissful ignorance of me and cannot get into my head... In that case, I can't even imagine in whose hands exactly my fate is!
Well, to hell with it! I will live as I lived before: conquer the hearts of women, strive to become stronger, and along the way kick everyone's ass. Perhaps at the end of my journey, the secrets of my destiny and the identity of the one responsible for it will be revealed to me.
As for Delirium who is present here, I am not worried at all. She is a carefree and frivolous person with her own butterflies in her head. She will not inform her family about such an insignificant subject as me.
However, if my imagination did not run wild, then I managed to pique her curiosity somehow. Did she realize that I saw her? It cannot be, although it does not matter... I can only hope that she does not follow me, taking me for another interesting toy, suitable for brainwashing, and receiving her gift in the form of deprivation of reason.
Unfortunately for her, all attempts to get into my head are doomed to failure. She will never succeed in driving me crazy. But why do I have a feeling that this fact will only further inflame her curiosity. Let's hope that it will pass.
*Alex," the Joker called to me, pulling me out of the realm of the subconscious.
"You passed out for a while. Remember anything funny?Hahahhaha, finding something funny in dreams, ahahahah!"
"No, I just noticed a fly by the wall," I pointed my finger at the buzzing insect. "You see, it pisses me off when they rub their front paws like that. It feels like they have a plan and I'm about to get screwed."
"Hmm, sounds like something... logical!" J slapped the buzzing misunderstanding with his slipper. "Problem solved, ha-ha-ha! So, Alex, do you have any other business in this sanatorium today?"
"I guess so... I still have a meeting with Harley, and then with her friend Pamela."
"With that man-hater? We met a couple of times. Every time we meet, she wants to kill me! I don't know how exactly I managed to annoy this green lady. I even have my favorite flowers in a pot at home. Damn it, I forgot to ask the guys to water them every five days! My poor little ones have probably already passed away... Okay, I think she has every right to hate me," said the Joker, having figured out Ivy's motives.
'I'm afraid she doesn't like you not because of this, but because she doesn't want to see Harley suffer, whom you hurt.' Of course,I won't say that out loud. Why spoil such a "logical" conclusion of a man with white makeup and green hair.
"I have some business with her…"
*What business? Maybe I can help?"
"I'm afraid not. I need the help of a highly qualified botany specialist."
"Have you decided to plant some flowers?" asked the crazy clown, whose smile never left his face.
"I don't know yet."
"You're doing some shady business, mister," Gotham's main maniac cast a suspicious glance at me. "Is there going to be one more person to share this place with, Alex?"
"I doubt it, rather the opposite, I think 2 more will just leave this place and I will never join it so it will remain empty."
"Do you think so? Sometimes you just need a little push." Joker narrowed his eyes slyly.
"Listen to me, J." I said to Arkham's favorite patient. "If you do anything to me or to those around me... I'll become boring."
