I do not own Suicide Squad in any way. I only own my OC's.
Her family wasn't normal. Audrey knew this.
It wasn't easy having Gotham's most infamous villain as her father.
Their family dynamic was an odd one, but it worked for them.
Most people thought that he ran their household as a dictatorship and that he was heartless, but they couldn't be more wrong.
The Joker loved his family and everyone knew it. He absolutely adored Lily, far more than he had ever loved Harley. He practically worshiped the ground she walked on.
She was his equal and he did everything in his power to make she sure had what she wanted and needed.
The same went for his only son and daughter.
Her father hadn't been in Audrey's life for the first two years of her life. She had been told that a job had gone wrong and her father had been sent back to Arkham Asylum.
Being so young, she didn't remember this, but her mother and Kristofer told her they had lived with the Riddler. Her father had returned to them and that's how they came to live in this old abandoned warehouse on the docks of Gotham.
It had been fixed up to look like an actual house, so it wasn't like they were living in poverty.
Audrey imagined it was to make up for him being gone so long.
Her childhood had been less than normal. She got well acquainted to the sight of blood and the smell of gunpowder quickly. She remembered a time when her mother and aunt came home completely covered in blood.
Her mother had picked her up and stroked her head, smearing blood into Audrey's pale blonde hair. Audrey was so young that she quite understand what had happened. She was then passed over to her father who simply gave her a wild grin.
It wasn't threatening to her; it was comforting.
Audrey quickly learned that if he wasn't smiling, then something was seriously wrong. She wrapped her small arms around his neck and buried her face into his neon green hair, finding comfort in the combined smell of leather and gunpowder.
He carried her into his room (which he shared with her mother, unlike him and Harley) all the while humming a song softly in her ear.
She never asked what the song was or if there were words.
He set her on the bed and she watched him take his purple coat off and suspenders before crawling onto the bed.
She burrowed into his chest as he stroked her hair and hummed the song, slowly putting her to sleep.
Even to this day when she was frightened or sad, she would go into her father's room, curl up on his lap, and have him hum it for her while stroking her hair.
When she was old enough to understand what was going on, her parents and aunt started taking her on jobs and using her as bait. Audrey didn't mind it one bit, because it usually meant she got a present or reward afterward.
One time, the Joker, Lily, and Harley had destroyed a jewelry store in Uptown Gotham and her father let her have her pick of the jewels.
"Which one do you want, my little monster?" he had asked her.
Long before she had officially earned the title, her father called her his little monster.
Audrey sifted through the jewels and picked a small tiara.
The Joker took it from her and set it on her small head. "Ah, perfect", he said giving her a smile.
From then on, she didn't mind going on jobs, especially when they brought Kristofer along too.
The two would cause mischief together while their parents and aunt did the same.
Yes, her family wasn't normal and most people would not understand the dynamic they had.
They killed together yes, but at the end of the day, they were still a typical family.
