The doctor nodded. "Oh yes. Most of my work is bandaging up the injured. But...I do take a fair amount of enjoyment out of a live body to play with. There was one incident when I worked for Luthor and was able to torture a small group for quite some time." he replied, then his tone took a rather unpleasant turn. "Unfortunately....the restraints snapped on one of the victims. I was in a coma for some time."
He was....very curious now as to what the BIG project was. I was assumed that NOTHING was greater than the Batman, as far as Joker's priorities went. Whatever this was about...was defiantly personal. And he had his suspicions with the child. Well....most he could hope for was some public finalie. He wasn't stupid enough to question things after the man had specifically said it couldn't involve anyone unnecessarily. That translated meant 'If I told you, I'd have to kill you.'
"How long have you had them?" he asked, turning his focus back on the subject of torturing.

(( Ah, the old 'Villains United' storyline... Good times xp ))
"Oh, for a few weeks, but they've only been deceased for about a day," the clown explained, "However, I bring up the subject of torture due to the one still living. I didn't want to do much until the others had expired; with her being so much younger, she stood a better chance of increased suffering from hearing these two in pain. Granted, Fem-Bats here barely made so much as a peep until towards the end, but then again, her old man DID play 'Two for Flinching' with her using a 9mm when she was a kid." As he continued to speak, he walked to the right wall, which had a curtain, presumably hiding a window. "But I digress. Anyways, I have her strapped into MY little torture device. I just wanted your personal, more experienced, opinion on it." With that, Joker opened the curtain, to reveal a window that showed a room that had obviously started out whitewashed, but now had lots of red splatters everywhere to break it up. In the middle, there was something that looked like a dentist's chair with all the padding removed, leaving just the metal frame. Strapped in was a young woman, no older than twenty, wearing the costume of the Spoiler. She was already cut and burned in several places. The source of the burns was the acelylene torch sitting off in the back corner of the room, while the cuts were from the circular saw that had been gerry-rigged the light fixture arm of the chair instead of the normal light. Her eyes were pried open with a set of spring-loaded clamps, so that she couldn't blink. A faucet was dripping in the other back corner, apparently audibly, as one of her fingers twitched every time a drop fell out of view into the basin. The window was apparently one-way, as she showed no sign of seeing movement, even though they could see her face straight-on. "Any suggestions? I was going mostly for an extended version of the old Chinese 'Death of 1000 Cuts' but added in the torch, eye clamps, and sink for the Hell of it."

(( ^_^ Yep. ))
The Crime Doctor paused a moment and stared silently at the girl behind the glass. Then, slowly, he walked up to the window to better inspect the room. "Well..." he began, glancing from the torch, to the saw, to the girl staring past him in the steel seat. "I'd say you have a rather decent little torture room. Adjustable metal chair that gives minimal to no comfort. Strong restraints. Eyes pried open. Torch easily capable of creating third degree burns within seconds. Saw is a little messy compared to other cutting instruments...but it tears the skin and muscle rather than leave a clean cut..." he mused, then paused a moment in thought. "Are you drugging her at all? Anything to keep her awake, multiply the pain?"

"Only when I'm preparing to work. It could just be cause it's me, but letting her rest in between sessions has typically resulted in her having dreams that are just as bad as reality, if her screams are anything to go by." The Joker thought a moment, and said, "I know you can't stay much longer, with other clients waiting on you and all. But how about I hold on to the bodies until a more convenient time for you? I know what it's like being swamped with work. I'll even let you have a turn or two with this subject, if you'd like." The clown held up a gloved hand, and smirked. "Look, no buzzer." Then Joker held out the hand he'd held up for inspection to shake. "I know, normally I'm nowhere near so forthcoming, but for some reason I've taken a liking to little Rosie, and this is my way of saying 'thank you' for coming to help her. Even if it was beneath your level of skill."

"Well...I can say it wasn't what I expected when I received a call of an 'impaled' leg. But...this was still well worth the visit. And a rather pleasant surprise." the Doctor replied as he took the Joker's hand. "Picking up the bodies at a different time would be best. I tried to be as discreet as possible coming here, so taking bodies with me would be a little conspicuous. And..." he said, his voice taking a rather sinister tone. "I think I'll take you up on a turn torturing the girl. I haven't gotten to play with anyone in quite some time."

"I'll be more than happy to oblige," the Joker said, his tone just as sinister. Taking his hand back, he closed the curtain and walked back to where the hidden dorway was. "By the by, did you know that the Luthor who built that old Secret Society was an imposter?"

"Really?" the Doctor replied as he followed behind him. "To be honest I didn't follow up on much of the group after Catm-...I was put into a coma."

Joker smirked to himself, as his back was turned to the Crime Doctor, at the unintentional slip. Mentally filing the information away for another possible time, he continued as he walked. "It's true. The real McCoy found me, led me to him, and let me kill him in a rather nasty manner. I'd wanted to do that anyway; served him right for not inviting me. After all, who doesn't love clowns? HA HA HA!" There was no need to call anything to the defense system; it was only activated when the door on the other side was the first to open.

"I had wondered about that." the Doctor said as they continued to walk down the hall. "He'd gotten practically everyone and anyone...and those who didn't join were made to regret it. I never did hear about you being in the group."

"I know, something about me being too unstable, or some nonsense like that..." Joker mused out loud, moving his hand as if to wave off such a preposterous idea. Of course, the clown knew that the preposterous idea in question was completely true, as did anyone with half a brain from his Universe, but that was irrelevant. They were almost to the other end of the hall.

"Ah." the Doctor replied, still following Joker at a much more relaxed pace than he had when they first walked down the hall. He thought for a moment, and wanted to ask a little more about Rosie, but...he wasn't sure he'd actually get any information on that just yet. Something told him that she may have something to do with the Joker's latest project.

The clown activated the hidden door, and as it opened, the clown stepped through back into the main protion of the hideout. "Again, thank you for coming, Doc. You can keep in touch for the bodies, and the... other appointment," Joker said, glancing at Rosie. He didn't want her to know about the torture chamber. Not yet, at least. Maybe once he was sure of how comfotable she was with human suffering.

Rosie had been busy in the corner of the room shooting plastic cups off one of the desks away from the computer system. When the door opened again, she whirled around and smiled as Joker walked back into the room. She stood and took a few steps towards them, but politely waited until he was done talking to the doctor before even trying to run up to him again.
"Of course." the Doctor replied with a nod. "I have the number, and you should have mine. If...there is another incident..." he said, glancing towards Rosie. "Give me a call." he said, then turned and started for the door he had entered through earlier to leave.

"Take care, Doc!" the Joker said, and then turned to Rosie, dropped to one knee, spread his arms wide open and said "Now come here, my dear! How's your leg doing?"

Rosie beamed, carefully dropped the gun onto the ground, then ran up to him. There was a slight limp to her run, but not enough to hinder her from hurrying up to him and practically jumping into his arms. "Better!" she said as she gave him a tight hug. Then she pulled back so she could actually face him. "I just got kind of carried away. Chased him all around the hall and tripped. Think it was from a vase I knocked off a stand earlier and broke."
