TLDK: Birds of Prey

Chapter 4: Prank

If it wasn't the Organized Crime that Gotham's Higher Up Criminals took charge of, the only other thing that Innocent People have to worry about are the Lowlife thugs or the Gangs. Specifically, one gang of crazies that tend to terrorize the streets of Gotham, going after teens and young adults, the Infamous Jokerz. Their inspiration came from one guy, said to have been the Original Joker in the 1980s, and he became the beacon of chaos for all of Gotham. No one knew what really happened to him, but his story live on through the corrupted youths that dress up as clowns and wreak their own havoc for fun.

But every once in a while, they're after big gains to make their reputation better known and more feared than ever.

This lead to one of their packs getting hold of some industrial strength equipment and gear from an abandoned vehicle factory.

Joker Thug 1:"Make sure to grab the big stuff! We need it for that thing we need to build!"

Joker Thug 2:"We're doin' it! But we don't see you helpin' out as much!"

Joker Thug 1:"Someone needs to tell you what to do! This stuff don't come around as much in this city!"

Joker Thug 3:"You gotta admit that this job is pretty big. Can't find all the parts here. You sure we can handle this?"

Joker Thug 1:"Don't worry about it. We got other supplies comin' in from the harbor. We'll get the job done. And don't be afraid to snag a little somethin' for yourself. There's plenty of goodies here."

?:"Oh, goodie-goodie..."

And that's when, coming from above their heads, was their failure of recruiting someone they knew would level the playing field for the Jokerz. Luan Loud, who decided to call herself "Prank", makes a grand reappearance as Gotham's first and only joke-themed Crime Fighter.

(At least in this Universe.)

The suit that the Jokerz had given her was modified to her liking, and with a Bat-symbol across the chest, along with some Bat ears to go with her single point-and-bell. When the Jokerz saw her, they knew almost instantly to fear her because Luan's pranking reputation was staggering.

Prank:"I'm sure you'd get lots presents if you were good boys and girls. But you haven't, so Mama Prank is gonna have give you a spanking!"

Joker Thug 4:"Oh crap! It's her!"

Joker Thug 1:"Take her down!"

Too bad for them that Luan has been practicing. She had gotten to learn a thing or too about acrobatics and have managed to orchestrate them into a bit of a fighting style that only she could pull off. As Prank, Luan was unpredictable, spontaneous and very nimble, getting the jokers with the swinging high kicks, getting them right in the face and knocking them off their feet without too much problems. For most civilians, the Jokers would act like a major pain in the behind, but Prank made them look like a bad joke, as she made short work on them.

Now with them out of the way, Prank took a look at one that was still conscious.

Prank:"You know, I can't thank you enough for the new duds. Had to make some mods, but the suit still came out looking nice."

Joker Thug:"Ugh! You should've joined us."

Prank:"Yeah, but enough about me. Let's talk about you. What are these parts for? And before you think about struggling...(pull out feather), we could do this the easy way, or the hard way."

Joker Thug:"Okay, okay! I'll talk! We're building APCs. The stuff here is what's needed. We'll be getting the rest of the stuff at the harbor."

Prank:"There now. Was that so bad? Now how about a joke? Knock, knock..."
