Chapter Ten: Past of Ace.

Hangovers suck.

I sat in the living room between DeadShot and El Diablo holding my head as Boomerang yelled at C.J who yelled back, I snapped my head up "Hey! Do ya mind, I got drunk last note and a headache from Hades" I snapped.

They quieted down and DeadShot chuckled "Never saw boomerang take orders, especially from a little girl."

"I'm not little."

He rolled his eyes "Yeah, so says the fourteen year old."

"I'm seventeen, almost eighteen. I only look fourteen because I am short and kind of chubby" I admitted, El Diablo laughed.

"Your not chubby, Penguin is chubby" he said, DeadShot laughed as I shook my head.

Boomerang went into another room, clearly pissed off, and C.J sat down in a chair.

"We'll, since there is nothing interesting to do tell us about Arkham" DeadShot said as he leaned back into the couch, I followed his movement as El Diablo sat on the arm playing with fore in his hand.

I looked at DeadShot "Nothing to talk of."

"Aye, come on now Miss Ace, yesterday we all saw how sad you we're" Boomerang said coming into the room with a different attitude with K.C behind him.

"Yeah, who do I need to kill?"

I giggled at Killer Croc as I sighed and looked at my hands.

"I was dropped off at Arkham when I was little by.. Aunt Harley.. She claims it was to protect me but, all I heard from guards was that I was too crazy for her to take care of.. But, I had no one but my psychologist Mrs DaVoe.. She helped me and tried to get me to talk to other teens suffering but, I always caused fights.

"I thought my favorite books we're real like Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz and so on, so I decide to ask for paint my room in there was amazing, I love to draw, I even made my own doll to hug when I felt lonely" I said.

Boomerang looked at me "You had no one for twelve years?" He asked.

I looked at him and back at my hands as I played with them "There was one person.. A boy named Kenton.. He was quiet at first then he started talking ..but only towards me. He even gave me this" I said touching my rabbit locket.

"For Christmas I had drawn him a portrait of him at the Halloween party Arkham had for the teens, and he gave me this" I said with a sigh.

Croc looked at me "That's sad" he said in his deep crocodiley voice, El. Diablo looked at him "Don't start crying, we don't need a river in Jokers place."

I laughed with Boomerang as I looked over at C.j...

He stared right back at me then shook his head as he sat up and walked into another room, I frowned.

"Is he the one that got shot?" DeadShoit asked, my breatgh hiugched as I nodded and closed my eyes.

"He-he was trying to save me.. A-one of the new guards was trying to, uh, rape me" I mumbled and boomerang looked up at me "I screamed and him and DaVoe we're in the room over, he was the first to make it and got the guard off of me.. When he asked if I was okay a gun shot went off.

"He fell in my lap" I whispered.

El Diablo put a hand on my ashoukder very carefully "I know what it is like to lose someone.. I am sorry for your loss" he told me, I sighed and put on a smile.

"No need to say that.. Kenton was special -to me anyway- but, he got took from me" I said as I stood up and walked out going up to my room here.

Third Person POV

Joker and Harley stood at the entrance to the living room listening to Bailee's story, Harley looked at Joker with a tear in her eye "After thinking I was helping her I broke her" she said, Joker looked at Harley.

"I told you.. She would have been better off with us."

Harley touched the necklace at her neck and walked up the stairs towards her niece's room, she heard crying as she peeped in the door.

Bailee sat on her bed clutching a pillow to her chest.

She was crying, Harley hesitated before stepping inside the room "Bailee.. Are you alright?" She tried.

"Do I look okay to you?"

Harley almost smiled at her nieces saracasm but stopped as she went forward and stood behind her niece, Harley unclipped her necklace from her and put it around her nieces neck.

He niece jumped "What are you doing?!" She shouted.

Harley stepped back and looked at her "It was your moms.. I figured you would want it" she tried. Bailed bit her lip and sighed "Sorry, i just.. I hated Arkham" she whispered and a tear slipped down her face.

Harley stepped forward and touched her niece who didn't try to push her away, Harley hugged her "I-I heard. "

Bailee sniffed "Overhear me talking to them?" She whispered.

Harley squeezed her "I'm sorry... "

"That has got to be the millionth time you have told me that. "
