Joker Little Girl (Book 2)

Parties and Dancing

I was getting dressed in the new gown that Grandad got me to wear for this 'important' party.(image above). It hung aroung my waist line nicely showing of the curves I had earnt with all the hand to hand combat I did with Grandad to protect me incase he said. I smiled at my relfection still confused as to why he was so insitant that I would have to go. "Edith you ready?" He called up the stairs. "Yup comming now" I said. I slipped on my flats and ran down the stairs with my dress flowing behind me. "Wow how are you my granddaughter?" He asked making me blush. "Alfred come look" he called. Alfred stumpled in with a tray of dirty cups in his hands. When he looked at me he smiled. "Like a princess. Cinderella in fact." He corrected. "I'm glad you like it. Now lets get going before I change into something more practical like Pj's" I said as I grabbed the car keys and made my way over to the door. I lost my shoe half way through walking there. "Keep that shoe on we dont want no princes knocking on our door yet" Alfred called out. "Yup I'm sure your dad would definatly kill me for that" Grandad called out as he walked over to me. I paused struggling to get my shoe for a minuite and a flashback came.
"MUM! MUM! MUMMY!" I screamed. Batman picked me up and cradled me. "LET GO OF ME GRANDDAD" I screamed as I wriggled my way out of tight grip. I ran over to the one who fired the gun at my mum. I heard people say it the Joker and panic. "YOU KILL MY MUMMY!" I cried out to him pointing at my mum dead on the floor. "Edith! Get back here" Batman called out. Joker turned and knelt at my hight. "I don't care." He laughed. "SHE WAS MY MUM AND SHE IS ALL I HAVE! MY DAD DIDN'T WANT ME!" I screamed in his face pointing harder and my mum. He looked beyond the pointing finger and to look at the dead body. "Scarlett? Oh no" He said sounding really sad. "That means your my....my...girl" he said. I looked at him confused. He stood up and walked towards Batman. "YOU WERE SURPOSED TO KEEP HER SAFE!" He screamed. "ME! YOU THE ONE WHO ABANONED HER PREGNANT, THEN KILLED HER!" Batman screamed. "I WASN'T MENT TO KILL HER. I JUST KILLED MY ONE CHANCE OF BEING SANE!" Joker screamed. Batman didn't say anything just picked me up and started walking away. "YOU CAN'T TAKE HER AWAY, SHE'S MY CHILD...EDITH" Joker screamed. "AS HE GODFATHER AND HARLEY HER GODMOTHER WE WILL RAISE AND PROTECT HER. I SUPECT ITS THE LEAST YOU CARE!" Batman shouted back. Joker did nothing but scream curses at Batman and shoot at him. But Batman kept me safe from the bullets. I was still crying cause of the image of my dead mum was in my head. No one else knew but Batman was crying as well.
I wish I had my mummy back. 

Grandad had distracted me from my thoughts as he walked over and helped me put on my shoe. "The only prince delivering a shoe is me deal" he said. "Deal" i said still in my trance and half in reality. He walked me to the car and we drove our way to Metroplis a place I never thought I'd go back to.
As we stepped out the car flashes blinded me of finding my way to the front door. I jumped when I felt an arm on my arm. "Calm down It's me" Grandad said. I sighed in relif. "Listen I need you to make small talk while I do something Batman related deal?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded. "Make small talk to strangers got it. I thought you taugjt me stranger danger" I replied. "God your like your father" he sighed. "What?!" I whispered shouted. "I will tell you later" he said letting go if my arm and disappeared to dl what every he was doing.
"Well, why is there a pretty lady standing all alone in my house. And without a drink! We can't have that can we" said a excited, enthusiatic voice behind me. "Hello?" I said. "Luther..Lex Luther" he said holding out his hand. "Wayne...Edith Wayne" I said shaking his hand. "Thats weird I thought his daughter died when the 'Joker' went on a killing spree" Lex said. "I'm his Grandaughter and God daughter" I said fiddling with the fabric of my dress. "Well then would the pretty lady care to join me to the dance floor?" He asked holding out his hand. "A real gentleman but I don't dance" I politly declined. "Nonsence" he said draging me to the dance floor. I held onto him awkwardly as we slow danced on the dance floor. As I grew more comfortable I became less tense and Lex noticed. He smiled and kissed the top of my head. "So why is Edith Wayne living with her grandfather and not her dad?" Lex asked. "My...dad didn't want me I guess. I dunno I have only lived with Bruce and Mother before she died then I either lived with Bruce or my Grandmother Harleen Qunizel" I replied. I could feel him nod as he snaked his arm around my waist bringing me to his chest. I felt exstreamly uncomfortable and I wanted this 'dance' to end. I saw a man that looked vaigely familar from 2yrs ago and tried to motitonfor him to come over and take an interveiw with me. He soon caught sight of me and understood with what I was saying. "Um..Mister Luther do you mind of I do an interview with Ms Wayne here" he asked. "Not at all I...just got carried away." He said. He leaned forward amd kissed me check making me tense up and blush. He walked away to talk to the governator.
"God thankyou I was getting uncomfortable" I breathed out. "I could tell" he said. "Wheres your over protective grandad when you need him" I laughed out. "Maybe I should acompany you untim he turns up" he offered. "No need hes there" I said pointing at him. "It was nice meeting you  and thanks again " I said as I made my way to Grandad. "And to you as well" he replied and then wondered off. "Time to go" grandad said as I approached him. "Good. Lex Luther was getting to touchy feely" I said dramatically amd shivered at the thought. "You dances with Lex Luther?!" He said acting surprised. "You said to small talk and I handled myself so no need to go over protective grandad on me" I saod as we made our way back to the car. "You know when you say that it makes me feel old" he said. "Its cause you are" I replied. "Yup defo like your father" he said sighing. I laughed and ran off to the car with him trailing behind me.
When we got home I went to close the curtains when I saw a Neon purple car. I closed the curtains quickly and went to bed.
