Family Bonds

Pudden

I smirk when I see Batman standing a couple feet away from me and Robin." You assume correctly." I said crossing my arms." What do you want?" I ask rudely. He takes a breath and clears his throat.

"Well, we heard about what happened at the Wayne's. You saved Richard Grayson and got your parents put in prison, why?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Because Dick is my best friend in the world and my parents are abusive, they don't care about anyone but themselves. Well, my mom sorta cares for me but her love if reserved for her... Pudden!" I said angrily. Robin puts a hand on my shoulder and I look back at him, confused. He quickly takes it back and moves to stand next to Batman.

"We know it's stupid but we want to ask you if we could use you as bait." Robin said and I smiled and nodded. The looked shocked for a moment but then looked relieved.

"I think they will most likely come out if I wear my costume." I said reaching for my backpack which was still in Robin's hands. He gave it to me and I starred at them.

"You can change behind that curtain, Batman and I will be right back." Robin said quickly and then he pulled Batman away by his cape. I quickly changed and then tried to listen to what the dynamic duo was saying but they were too quiet.
~Time skip cause I'm lazy~
I was sitting in a wooden chair at an abandoned warehouse waiting for my parents to show up. Batman, Robin, and I devised a plan; I sent my parents a video messages apologizing for ratting then out as well as my location, and they come to most likely kill me. Batman and Robin are of course somewhere hiding and waiting for Harley and Joker to show up.

I stiffen as I hear laughing. I take a deep breath and put on a fake smile when my parents walk in." Hi mom hi dad!" I smile and wave. I stand up and walk over to them. Joker looks at me with hatred and pulls out a gun and aims at me.

"Pudden! Don't!!!" My mom yells but he doesn't listen and instead... he pulls the trigger. I gasp as I am pushed into the ground and I look up to see Robin holding onto me as Batman starts to fight the two villains.

Robin puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eyes." You ok!?" He asked and I nodded. He helped me up and I watched as my dad and mom fought Batman. I notice the gun laying on the floor a few feet away just as Joker knocks Batman to the floor. I gasp and run over to the gun and pick it up. I aim at my dad and take a deep breath.

"Don't. Move." I say as Joker freezes and turns around." I said. Don't. Move!" I grip the gun tighter as he smiles.

"Hey... sweetheart! You know I would have never actually killed you right? I was just having a little fun... you need to lighten up!" He says as he throws a bomb onto the ground near my feet and I grunt as I am thrown across the room. I moan as I hear grunts and some people talking.

Robin appears above me and he helps me sit up." Oh my gosh are you ok!?" He asks and I nod. He then gets a concerned look on his face and I look at him strange." You head..." he touches my head and pain instantly shoots down my whole body making me hiss in pain." Sorry..." he mumbled. I noticed blood on his green glove and I connected the dots.... I most likely had a concussion." You might have a concussion, your bleeding pretty bad." Robin got up and then helped me.

Batman came over and cleared his throat." Joker and Harley got away in the explosion. Robin and I will find them though but for now you should go back home." Then he started to walk awAy and I sighed.

"Well I should go with him but if you ever need us..." he gave me a bracelet with a small bat on it." Push this button and we'll come racing over!" And with that he ran off into the night and I smiled a little. Ok then... if I'm in trouble I can just push the bat button and... BANG! They come to help. I start to walk home when I remember that I'm still in my Jester costume. I smiled and snuck into my apartment through the window that leads to the living room. I change into pajamas and full onto the couch but I flinch when the doorbell rings.

I grab a bat from the corner of the room and sneak over to the door, I get the bat ready and open the door." Dick!?" I gasped and he gave me one of his crooked smiles. I set the bat down and pull him into the apartment.

"You shouldn't be here.. I'm in hiding!" I said and he smiled." What?" I asked and he laughed.

"If your in hiding then why are you here?" He said gesturing to my home. I roll my eyes and he clears his throat." So um... I came over so we could talk. Ya know about... your family." I flinch at his words and look I at my feet. I point to the couch and we sit down on my couch." So... um?"

I cut him off." My mom is Harleen Quinnzel a.k.a Harley Quinn and my dad so the Joker. Simply enough!" I snapped and he flinched." Sorry" I looked away but he gently put his hand on my face and turned my head so that my eyes met his. Then... he kissed me.

It felt like a wave of butterflies creating a tornado of love in my stomach it felt amazing but then again... New. I lean away a little so that our noses were barely touching and let out a breath." What was that for?" I asked and he smirked. Gosh I love it when he smirks....

"Just cause." He said leaning in for more, I smile and lean toward till our lips met once again. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist pulling me close...

"Well I'd say your my pudden."
