"You've gotten rusty, Aizawa!" Yelled Mirko.

As Mirko stretched, Aizawa sighed and warned her, "Careful, I don't know what his quirk is. All I know about this guy is that he's agile and fast."

Mirko smirked, "Fast huh?" She finished her stretch and dashed towards Joker at full speed. "Let's see if that's true!"

As Mirko was in the air, Joker laughed maniacally and stepped aside, dodging the incoming Mirko.

When Mirko missed, Joker pointed his gun at her and shot.

Bang Bang

Sensing the danger behind her, she did a backflip and arrived in front of Joker. She then continued her attack with a kick, but it was easily dodged.

However, when Joker dodged, Aizawa's crafts held his right foot, preventing him from moving.

Boom

Mirko's kick landed on Joker's face, but instead of being happy, she glared at Aizawa and said, "This is my fight! Stay out of it!"

However, when she looked at the wall Joker landed against, she saw nothing but a beeping bomb.

"Fuck!"

She yelled and jumped away from the explosion, carrying Aizawa with her.

Boom

Present day, Johnny POV.

I stared at the now dark screen with heavy breathing. I slowly stood up and ran downstairs.

'Shit, shit, shit! What was that?!' I pondered.

When I made it to the kitchen, I saw my parents eating. My mom looked at me and asked, "What's wrong, sweetie? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Out of breath, I quickly explained to them, "I just saw something weird on camera. Dad, don't you have the camera app on your phone? Look at my room from last night, around 1:32 am."

My parents glanced at each other and shrugged. My dad took out his phone and began to look for the recordings.

However, after he opened the saved videos, he said, "I don't see any saved videos. Are you sure you saw it right? Nothing was downloaded overnight. Actually, I don't even know if I turned on the recording."

"That can't be right!"

I ran upstairs and made my way to my room. I opened my laptop and looked at the videos. But there was nothing. Not even the video I just watched was there.

"Just what are you?" I murmured.

As I asked, a sudden laugh echoed throughout my room, "Haaahahahaha!"

I quickly turned around and scanned my room. There was nothing.

I frowned and gathered all my courage. "Who the hell are you?!"

Then suddenly, I saw someone in my peripheral vision. I slowly turned my head to my right and saw my own face smiling at me. His face was white, covered in white powder, while his lips were red.

"Guess." It said.

I began crawling backward as I yelled, "Get away from me!"

As I backed away, I heard running from the stairs. And a few seconds later, I saw my parents outside of my door.

"What's wrong, Johnny?!" My dad asked.

I pointed at my clone and said, "It's him! He's right there! Don't you see him?!"

My parents looked at what I was pointing at and asked, "Where?"

"W-What?"

I slowly looked at where he stood earlier, and now he was gone.

"I swear he was right there!" I yelled. "Believe me!"

My dad walked towards me and kneeled down. He hugged me tightly and said, "Calm down, buddy. Explain to us what happened."

I took a deep breath and began to explain, "There was a guy that looked just like me. He was standing right there wearing makeup while smiling… at me..."

I covered my mouth as my brain began to run. 'That face on the TV! I knew it was familiar.'

I stood up and told my parents, "I think my dream was still vivid. I'm sorry for scaring you two."

They looked at each other and sighed, with my dad standing up and saying, "Alright, kiddo. Don't scare us like that again."

I nodded and saw them leave my room. I closed my door and thought of something. 'It all started from that lab… But I can't tell my parents that. If what I think is really true, and the Joker is ME, then...'

As I was thinking, a familiar laughter echoed once more, "Hahahahaha! It's a pleasure to meet you, Johnny."

I saw 'Joker' sitting down on my bed as he smiled at me.

I took a deep breath and thought to myself repeatedly that he was not real and he could not hurt me. Then I said, "What do you want? Although I can already guess where you came from, let me ask you for clarification. Where did you come from? And what's your goal?"

He chuckled and answered, "I want you to be the best version of yourself!"

I frowned and said, "I don't know you, and you don't know me. Cut the crap and tell me your true purpose."

He laughed even more and said, "I'm your other half. We are one!"

I scoffed at the blatant lie. "I would never kill or rob! You're not me! You'll never be me! And I'll never be you!"

He smiled at me and said, "Is that right?"

Pondering on what I should do, an idea struck my mind. 'The lab! I know for sure the chemical was the reason I'm seeing things… There should be an antidote or something!'

I scoffed at Joker as I opened the door. Quickly running down the stairs, my mom from the kitchen saw me and asked, "Where are you going, sweetie?"

"I just want fresh air, Mom! Be back in a few hours!"

I made my way to where the lab was, but this time I had to be careful as the property was supposed to be off-limits.

Sneaking my way in, I dodged all the patrolling cops and made my way inside the lab once again. When I was in the dark hallway, I saw Joker standing in front of the door to the lab.

"You again," I scoffed. "Get out of the way."

He laughed and said, "Growing balls, huh?"

Tap Tap

He began walking towards me, making me step back a bit. But I remained calm and watched him. "You're tough now, knowing that I can't hurt you?"

When he was in front of me, I was about to mock him, but he gripped my throat tightly and raised me from the ground.

He looked at the despair in my eyes and scoffed, "Ain't so tough now, are ya?"
