The Forgotten Bug

    I try to calm down a blushing and worried Chloe to no avail. Running out of ideas I kiss her. Once she leans into it I pull away slowly.
"Queenie, stop worrying I'm fine," I tell her. "Plus I probably broke some of their bones," I add proudly.
She looks up at me still a bit worried, so I describe what happened in Gotham to calm her down.
"When I was one year old I was brought to Gotham. My dad is Bruce Wayne and my brothers are Jason Todd and Richard Grayson, who I call Jay and Richie. I also think of our butler as a grandfather, his name is Alfred," I start.
"What does that have to do with what happened to you today?" Chloe asks.
"I'm getting to that. As I was saying, I grew up there, but one day I finally got to go out of the manor. I was walking by myself even though I was just seven years old, and I met the villains of Gotham because I accidentally stumbled upon their meeting. They all looked at me surprised before someone came to talk to me. Harley Quinn came up to me and said, '..." I say before getting cut off once again.
    "What?! Your family let you as a seven year old walk ALONE in GOTHAM!!," Chloe says in distress.
    "Yes, Queenie, but I was fine. Please, let me finish," I say pouting at her.
    "Fine," Chloe grumbles as she crosses her arms.
"Thank you," I say before continuing, " Harley Quinn said, 'Hey suga', what ya doin' here?' 'I'm sorry ma'am. I was just walking around, I didn't mean to I interrupt the meeting between you and ya friends,' I said. She looks at me in awe. 'Can we keep her,' she said as she turns to her friends. 'I don't think my dad or brothers would like that,' I said trying to be polite. 'Who's dad suga'?' she asked me. 'His name is Bruce Wayne,' I said proudly. 'How can you be? I mean, you're so sweet!' she told me. From that moment they thought of me as the princess of Gotham and I was officially protected by the villains. My father then decided to send me away and him and my brothers for got about me." I begin to feel tears slip down my face, but continue the story anyway. "My dad is Batman, though he doesn't know I know that, and him along with Green Lantern and Flash dismissed the Paris situation as a prank," I say with tears freely slipping down my face.
    Chloe then pulls me into a hug and says, "It's okay Mari-bug. At least you still have me and our friends. Also, that not everyone forgot about you."
    "Yeah I guess," I say drying my tears.

    "What?! Your family let you as a seven year old walk ALONE in GOTHAM!!," I say upset that someone had done that to my Mari-bug.
    "Yes, Queenie, but I was fine. Please, let me finish," she said and pouted at me.
    "Fine," I say and cross my arms.
"Thank you," she says before continuing, " Harley Quinn said, 'Hey suga', what ya doin' here?' 'I'm sorry ma'am. I was just walking around, I didn't mean to I interrupt the meeting between you and ya friends,' I said. She looks at me in awe. 'Can we keep her,' she said as she turns to her friends. 'I don't think my dad or brothers would like that,' I said trying to be polite. 'Who's dad suga'?' she asked me. 'His name is Bruce Wayne,' I said proudly. 'How can you be? I mean, you're so sweet!' she told me Mari-bug even made villains love her. From that moment they thought of me as the princess of Gotham and protected by the villains. My father then decided to send me away He did what?! and him and my brothers for got about me." Mari-bug begins to cry, but continues the story anyway. "My dad is Batman what now, though he doesn't know I know that, and him along with Green Lantern and Flash dismissed the Paris situation as a prank I can't believe them, they are ridiculous, utterly ridiculous," she say crying even more.
    I pull Mari-bug into a hug and say to her, "It's okay Mari-bug. At least you still have me and our friends. Also, that not everyone forgot about you."
    "Yeah I guess," she says and drys her tears.
I text the rest of the MPS as she does that, so they can help me with this situation happening to our poor Mari-bug. Soon, there was someone at the door, and Mari-bug went to answer it to find our friends. They come inside and Mari-bug retells the stories that she told me, and throughout the whole thing I can't help but keep my eyes trained on her. By the time she noticed, we are both red and being teased by our friends which only makes it worse.
