What the heck are you talking about, Harl?

[shadowofaclown]

The doctors, they... they saw my face... Phascomon took me in after the Joker beat me...

[bttr_than_prime]

...the Joker did WHAT?!

What happened? When did this...?!

[shadowofaclown]

... during the battle... I... I've been in the hospital for a couple weeks now, I...

...

I should have told you all right off... I'm an idiot...

[changelingdude]

H-hey...don't be like that come on. We've all had stumbles before, gotten beat up.

[shadowofaclown]

... This was different...

[changelingdude]

How? I mean the Joker's big league yeah but...you're alive. And whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

[shadowofaclown]

Not this time, Beast Boy. Not... not this time...

... Okay, Duela, you need to tell me exactly what happened.

[shadowofaclown]

... I was fighting the invaders, when I saw him... I saw the Joker.

The Joker in my universe, he... he was... he was someone who hurt a very dear friend of mine. We fought, because... because I wanted to prove to him that I was better than him... I wore his look for so long so... so I could show the world not to fear people like him...

But I messed up... he beat me... he took everything away...

[scrapperzen]

How did he take everything, Duela?

That's what I need to know.

Re: [Registers as Silverwing's D-Comm, locked]

[shadowofaclown]

... He took away my chance to make up for what he did! What I did! HE TOOK AWAY MY NAME, MY SECRET IDENTITY!

[shadowofaclown]

... You have no idea... losing the one fight that meant the most...

[shadowofaclown]

But... it was the most important one...

[opticalevil]

...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm quitting too.

[shadowofaclown]

... what? why?

[opticalevil]

Look at me, I'm a joke. I lost my partner, last week I got attacked and beat up by a little girl and a three headed monster dog thing...nothing's gone right for me since I got to this world.

At least Billy and Jinx seem happy. Me? I'm a waste of perfectly good superpowers. I've just been taking up space at Titans Tower, no good for the team, or anything else.

See-More... you're... you're not a waste... we can still try to save Dracmon...
