The Tale Of Becky Quinn

Happiness&Sorrow

Joker sat pulling a loose metal piece off the bed that hung from the wall; he finally pulled it off and twisted it around itself until it was able to fit into the bolts that held the lock pad to his door.

After getting the first one out the metal bend to where he couldn't use it any longer he sighed and flung it across the room, he slummed down and sighed "I need to get out of here" he muttered.

He picked up the bolt that had fallen out and started to pound the bolt against the glass he had an idea.

After creaking the glass he was sure a silent alarm went off because a guard came running down the hall, Joker smiled as he opened the door and charged at him; The guard had him against the wall and was about to call for backup when Joker took the metal and jab it far into his eye.

The guard dropped him and fell over in pain the Joker kicked him repeatedly until the man passed out, he then took the mans keys and walked out of ceil locking the man inside.

He even whistled as he walked down to the ceil block that held Harley.

He knocked on the door like he was returning home form work, "Baby doll?" he called out he heard her gasp with happiness and Ivy in the ceil next to her groan with annoyance,

"Puddin!" Harley called happily.

"Do you know what we're going to do?" he asked "About Becky?" there was silence for a moment, "B-brake out and bring her home...right puddin?" Harley asked "That's right poo" he said as he started picking at the lock.

"Hold on!" Ivy said from inside her ceil "Dr. Arkham and Batman said that If Harley stayed in Arkham for a year she would get Becky and her freedom legally!" she hissed.

Joker growled and stood up "My daughter isn't your concern! I won't stand for her living with that rich boy Bruce Wayne!" He told her Ivy crossed her arms and huffed.

"Fine" she said "You go and try to get Becky back but leave Harley here in case you fail" she said as she looked over at Harley who for once in her life had a look of understanding on her face.

Joker turned to look at Harley and saw the stone faced look and tossed the keys he was using on the ground, "Fine" he told them "I'll show Becky what a true villain is and then I might came back and get you out Harley" he said as he took off down the hall.

"Don't worry Harley" Ivy said "You will get Becky back..." Harley looked over at her friend and smiled,

"I know red...but I've been thinking about Becky's...." Harley bit her lip and looked away; Ivy tilted her head, "What Harl? What is it?" Harley looked back up at her.

"Her sanity"

Becky couldn't recall the name of the movie but she didn't think it mattered, she had a great time.

She really liked Kyle he was funny, and sweet and.... and every other cliché but... she hoped he liked her too, at the moment they were walking back to Wayne manor.

"So...friends?" Kyle asked smugly "Since you know I bought the popcorn" he laughed, Becky smiled and nodded "Yeah...friends" she giggled.

Kyle blew a strand a red hair out of his face "So you like the movie?" he asked Becky jumped slightly "It...was good" she told him "Nice...plot"

At that Kyle burst out laughing he had to use the fence next to them to hold himself up, Becky couldn't held but smile at him and tried to hold back her laugh.

Kyle draped his arm around Becky's shoulders and smiled brightly at her "It was a movie about zombie monkeys...you didn't like it either then huh!" he snorted loudly then cupped his free hand to his face utterly embarrassed.

Becky couldn't hold in her laugh anymore, god she sounded like her father.

She looked back up at Kyle and saw him smile "You should laugh more Beck" he told her as he walked her to the gate at Wayne manor.

"I'll see you later Becky" Kyle told her as he started off toward his house.

Becky waved as she slipped through the gate and walked up to the front door she quietly opened the door and entered the house as she passed the living room she heard voices.

She walked into the room and was surprised to a young red headed woman sitting on the couch.

Alfred stood up quickly and walked over to Becky and gestured to go into the hallway outside the living room, Becky looked at the woman again be for following him out.

Alfred cleared his throat and then placed both hands behind his back, "Miss. Rebecca...Barbra...the woman sitting in the living room is a dear friend of ours...she knows who you truly are"

Becky took a sharp gasp and backed away from him "W-what?!" she asked "H-how?" she placed a hand to her mouth, Alfred placed a hand on her shoulder "She would love to meet you" he told her.

Becky looked up at him and removed her hand from her mouth and lowered her head and didn't say anything, "Who told her?" she whispered "how many more people know?"

Alfred placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it "Just Barbra and her Father Commissioner Gordon...but they both agreed to keep this quiet" Becky looked up at him her eyes brimmed with tears.

"..Okay..." she told her and wiped her eyes "...but who told them?" she asked, Alfred let go of her shoulder "Batman"

Becky nodded and walked passed him back into the living room and sat on the chair next to the couch and smiled at Barbra, "H-hi" she said "I-It's nice to...meet you.." Barbra nodded and returned the smile.

"Likewise" Barbra's eyes wondered over Becky for a moment, she was not what Barbra expected she expected...well a mini Joker but instead got this shy little blond girl, she shifted in her seat "Do you have any hobbies?" she asked while she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I used to be gymnasts...well I still am I just haven't ...practiced in a while..." Becky told her while she played with her hair and looking away from her "I would love to start doing that again..." she muttered as she looked over at Barbra.

"I'm a gymnasts too" Barbra smiled "I go to this gym every week to practice maybe next time I go I'll swing by and pick you up"

Becky nearly jumped up and hugged her "Thank you!" she said smiling then she remembered she had no gym stuff no leotard, toe shoes...nothing.

Becky's smile dropped "...Thanks....but I don't my stuff...anymore"

Barbra smiled "Get new stuff...Bruce wont mind I promise" she told her Becky nodded but still looked uneasy.

Barbra was cut off when she heard the door slam and Tim ran into the room followed by Juliet.

Tim picked up the remote for the TV and turned on GCN "He's out!" Tim breathed "The Joker broke out!"

Barbra gasped "What?" she asked standing up; Becky gasped as her father appeared on the screen.

"That freak should just be shot!" Juliet said taking hold of Tim's arm "That would stop him"

Becky bit her lip "How would you like it if someone said that about your father" she thought as she ran out of the room.

Barbra took the remote of Tim and turned it off giving him a glare then turned back to Becky but she was already gone.

"What's eating Blondie?" Juliet asked looking at Barbra who bit her lip trying not to scold the girl because she doesn't know.

"She hates violence" Barbra answered giving Tim a sideways glare at Tim who bit his lip and looked away.
