Gotham Knight Guards

Chapter 2

   "This is not good." mumbled Batman. "What are you talking about, who is that girl Bruce?" asked Jason. "Since when did Harley's sister have a daughter?" added Dick. "I'm not sure it's her daughter." Bruce spoke while standing up. "What do you mean Father?" questioned Damian. Bruce gives out a heavy sigh, "About 13 years ago Harley Quinn suddenly vanished for an entire year, at first I thought Joker got rid of her, once she reappeared I never questioned her whereabouts, but seeing this girl makes me wonder if she was the motive." "Hold up, back up here! Are you saying that girl is the Killer Clown Couples daughter!!!???" freaked out Jason. "Its a possibility with a probability Jason, although I'm praying she isn't." feared Tim

"Lucy Quinzel." said Bruce. "What?" "Her name is Lucy Quinzel. Goes to Bankside Middle School and has ballet class along with acrobatics. Excellent grades, never been in trouble in school or the law...." "That's how Harley started, now look at her, this just can't be happening." cut of Dick. Damian just stared at a picture of Lucy Quinzel on the batcomputer, not finding a trace of evil in her eyes.

The next day....

"Please tell me you are joking." Jonathan said with eyes big as dinner plates. "As unbelievable as it sounds, the Joker and Harley Quinn may have had a daughter." reassured Damian over what he told him. "Well what will your family do, if she's the killer clowns daughter isn't she a threat." "Phhht, I was raised by assassins, she was raised by her maybe aunt, for all we could guess she may not know that she could be their daughter." "But what if she is? What's going to happen?" asked Jon "Until we can confirm her blood DNA, all we could  do is surveillance her." cut in Bruce walking into Damian's room.

"In all honesty Father, even if she were the daughter of Joker, I doubt she would be a threat. After last nights encounter, I have to say she had excellent fighting techniques, as well as a good strategy, could improve on watching her back, dispite being a bit mischievous and some what looney, I can confidently say she's on the opposite end of crazy that Joker and Harley are in."  "Yeah right! I bet that kid will stab someone the first chance she gets." butted in Jason. "Who said you can enter my room?" claimed Damian annoyed. "I'm with Jason on this one, if she does have Joker's blood, she could grow up to be crazy or even crazier than her parents!" panicked Tim trying to drink his 7th cup of coffee. "Tim I told you 5 times to go to bed." said Bruce taking away his mug. "Bruce he's right, we can't let her roam the streets alone and risk someone's life." pushed in Dick making Damian groan.

"Very well then. Damian, you'll be the one to surveillance her." suddenly claimed Bruce. "Wait, what? Why me?" "You are already convinced she isn't a threat, so now you can try to prove it." "I ain't a part of this." chirped in Jon. "Fine, but I'll only do it to prove you all wrong."

That night.....

As Ring Master comes out in the light of the moon, she is unaware that Robin is waiting. "I thought you be sore after yesterday's quarrel." said Robin surprising Ring Master. "(Sigh) Hello Robin." "Care to explain why you are you trying to be a vigilante?" "You're the detective, aren't you supposed to figure that out yourself?" "We need confirmation on who you are." "I'm sure you already know that." she said as she throws him the tracker. "How did you.... you know what, never mind that. So are you or not the daughter of Joker and Harley Quinn?" Ring Master let's out a big sigh and looks up to the moon. "I really wish I wasn't."

"So you are their daughter." "Oh don't act so surprised, you already knew that Birdy." claimed Ring. "Even Batman didn't know anything about you until we found out you existed yesterday night." huffed Robin. Ring Master rolled her eyes as she stretched out her staff to walk on to the other building with Robin close behind. "So what does your BatDad want with me? Thinks I'm going to kill someone." "I truly doubt you are capable of doing that." respond Robin. Ring Master looks behind her to look at Robin face and realizes he wasn't kidding. "So I'll ask again, why are you doing this." He asked as he flips above her and looks directly into her eyes.

"I-I don't want to be like my parents, sick twisted killer psycho that kill for fun. I don't want to be that." she answered surprising Robin. "Its hard enough to be judged by people who think that just because 'my supposed aunt' is Harley Quinn, I may turn evil...." she takes a pause. "and what if they are right. They don't know I'm the actual daughter of the two craziest villains of all time, but I am and I want to do everything I can to avoid to be like them." "So you think becoming a vigilante is the best option." asked a skeptical Robin. "Don't tell me it's not fun to defeat bad guys." Robin open his mouth, but closes it knowing full well she's right.

"What does Batman want from me?" "All he wanted was to know who you are and why you are doing this, and you just proved I was right." "About what?" asked Ring Master. "You have no trace of evil."

During the next few nights of hanging out, Robin had grown comfortable around Ring Master enough to let her know he came from a master assassin mother, as well as confirm that he was the blood son of Batman, while Ring Master confessed her crush on Superkid, and love for piano music.

5 nights later in the Batcave.....

"You are joking, how can you possibly think she's good?" asked an angry Jason. "I'm telling you, as a trained assassin, I can tell she is not evil." "Yeah right, don't me you like her Damian." teased Tim, earning a punch square in the face by Damian. "I do not, besides she has a crush on Superkid." he respond. "How do you know that?" asked Dick. "She told me during our conversations." "Ok that's enough. Tomorrow, I'ma pay a visit to Harley Quinn and see what else I can find out about Lucy, until then, everyone to bed, now. order Bruce.

"Sir, do you actually believe Master Damian." asked Alfred once everyone had left the cave. "Damian isn't one to speak good of others very often Alfred. If he managed to see some good in Ring Master, then he may be right." answered Bruce. "Well then, that means Master Damian has made a new friend hasn't he?"
