Lucy sits the camcorder down on a dresser in her room facing it towards her bed, then sits down on the queen, then takes a deep breath and leans forward to turn on the camcorder.

"February 5th, 2017, 7:32pm.
I had a pretty normal, as close to apple-pie, life, I mean, my Aunt tried her hardest to make sure I didn't turn out like my mother. Well, I guess she kinda failed, sort of. I live a kind of normal life, I have a job at Wayne Enterprises and I have a little apartment in the 'safer' part of Gotham, except for the fact that when night falls, and I become the masked protege to a psychotic clown woman, called Freak."
Lucy shifts uncomfortably.
"Honesty, I don't really know when I first became Freak, whether it was that Halloween when I was a fourth grader, I got my mask that Halloween, or when my...when He died, or when I just wanted to give up a took a permanent marker, and later a paint brush, to my mask and wrote Freak on it, or my seventeenth birthday when my wayward mom realises, hey I have a kid, or maybe it was when my mom convinced me to work with her and her psychotic boyfriend-boss."
Lucy closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath.
"All of those, all smashed together, created Freak, but I don't think I really became Freak until that carnival, when I met Red. And honestly she's a better at telling that particular story."
Lucy reaches for the camcorder, covering the lense for a second as she turns it off.

Lucy looks at the camcorder, with her hands in her lap, blankly for a few seconds as tears start to form in her eyes. The door opens and a young man in his early twenties, with messy black hair with a white streak, walks in, and sits down next to the now crying Lucy and gives her a hug.
"Red told me you were starting that video diary bullcrap that Bruce suggested you do. You.."
Lucy pulls away, interrupting him.
"He didn't suggest it to me, my psychiatrist said that I have to do it to prove I still am sane, and that Freak was just me acting crazy. B-man came up with it for Red, ya know so she wouldn't be sent to Blackgate" Lucy wipes away her tears. "Speaking of Red, where is she? It's her turn to talk"
"Date. She was leaving when I came in"
"Oh" Lucy rests her head on his shoulder, the young man wraps his arm around her and rests his head on hers.
"I love you"
"I love you too, Jason Todd"
