Robin Investigates: The Old Laugh Factory

We started moving again. Steph bugged the ever loving hell outta me that we take the old laugh factory. What use is that old hole in the ground to us? That's when she told me about the little run-in yesterday she had on the hospital rooftop. Jerrick Davao just so happened to be in the neighborhood, and he'll be having a happy family reunion with his old man right here tonight. Why she's concerned, I have no idea. And I don't like the idea of her being anywhere NEAR that nutjob. On top of that, his dad is apparently a scumbag, so do doubt Bloodfall's gonna do what he does best: Tear people apart. Me and Steph walked into the old factory. The place was broken and dilapidated, left to rot like an dead animal on the road. Old joke toys covered the ground like leaves. I was having fun playing with them. Steph just wandered on, talking about how bad she apparently felt for Jerrick. Give me a break.

 

"I mean, both our fathers are failures. It's so weird having something in common with him, y'know?"

 

"It's the only thing you two share. Oh cool! A rubber snake!"

 

"But he sounded...pained when he mentioned his dad. It's even stranger hearing his voice like that. I mean, big scary guy who kills crooks sounding like that..."

 

"It's not your concern, Steph. Let him solve his daddy issues by himself. Sweet, a disc gun!"

 

"But he's gonna be so hurt after this! So alone....he needs someone there. Just someone to comfort him, tell him it's alright..."

 

"Guy's got a million pets, he'll be alright....aw crap, it's jammed...."

 

"I know, but they can't talk to him. They don't know his pain. I do, though. My dad was almost never there for me, and neither was his. His sis is dead because of it...."

 

This is ridiculous. Steph is getting WAY too overworked on this guy. She needs to forget about it. Jerrick...he's not the guy you worry for.I mean, he survived getting his with a rocket launcher, for god's sake! Steph just needs to cheer up a bit. I think I see the solution. The greatest wig I've ever seen. I put it on and stood next to Steph, waiting for her to turn her eyes to me. She kept going on about Bloodfall, until.....

 

"I just have to be there, Tim. He'll need help, he'll need....."

 

Good! she's looking at me! Just gotta wait for the reaction. Any moment she'll be laughing her ass off and-

 

"Goddamn it, Tim! Why can't you take this seriously!?"

 

She ripped the wig off my head and chucked it aside like trash. Well, that worked well....

 

"Do you really want to be with that monster tonight? Do you have any idea what it'll be like when he just freaking snaps and goes berserk on his dad? There's no predicting what he'll do....

 

"I'm not scared. I'm worried. He needs help. Help from someone like him."

 

"You're nothing like him. Not even in the same universe."

 

"We're close enough that I can help him. And I'm going to one way or another."

 

"..............fine....I'll be with you though. If something goes wrong, you won't last alone. I don't anything to happen to you..."

 

Robin And Spoiler take #38 Old Laugh Factory.
