For The Reason Of Temporary Insanity: A DC Fanfiction

An Unexpected Meeting

Rhyss

Rhyss walked quickly out of the hospital, leaning against the side of the building to breath, before looking around for her sister’s car.

She texted Lucilla quickly, telling her that she was taking Hailey’s car, before pulling the set of spare keys out of her pocket. Sliding into the car, she started it, waiting for Robin to get in before taking off.

“Where are we going?” Robin asked, looking at her as she drove.

“To go see an old friend. He owes me a few favours, so I can figure out where Scarecrow and Alicia are.”

Robin’s eyebrows furrowed. “Who’s that?”

Rhyss didn’t say anything, looking at him for a second before turning back to the road. She reached down and turned on her sister’s ipod, a soft, sad voice coming through the car speakers.

Rhyss blushed as she recognised her voice coming through the speakers. “How the hell did she get these?”

Robin looked over at her. “Get what? Who is this?”

Rhyss blushed harder. “Um. It’s, it’s me.” Robin raised his eyebrows.

“So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do

See I’ve forgotten if, they’re green or they’re blue

Anyway the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes, I’ve ever seen”

Robin smiled, and looked over at her. “You’re really good.” If it was possible, Rhyss blushed even harder. Robin grinned, and turned to look out the windshield as they turned into the parking lot of an abandoned factory. Robin looked over at Rhyss, confused. “Why are we here?”

“I told you. To see an old friend.” She pulled up right outside the building, turning off the car. Getting out, Robin realized that it was quiet. Very quiet. He looked over at Rhyss, only to realize that she had walked over to the building's entrance while he wasn’t looking. Jogging over, he opened the door for her. She smiled at him, and placed a hand on his chest. “Before we go in, I need you to promise me something.”

Furrowing his eyebrows, Robin nodded slowly. “What is it?”

“Don’t get angry. Don’t attack. And whatever you do, please don’t hate me.”

Robin looked at Rhyss confused, but she walked away before he could say anything. Walking into the middle of the building, Rhyss called out, “J! I need to talk to you! And I brought a friend!”

It was quiet for a few seconds, then Robin heard a sound that caused the hairs on his neck to stand up.

“HAHAHAHAHA! It’s been awhile my dear.” It was the Joker, and Robin stiffened as he dropped down in front of Rhyss, Harley Quinn following a few seconds later.

“Rhyss! It’s been forever, hasn’t it Puddin’?” Harley ran forward, throwing her arms around Rhyss, who grinned and hugged her back. The Joker looked behind her at Robin, who was frozen.

“What’s this? You brought one of the Bats with you?” He asked, raising an eyebrow, a manic grin spreading across his face. It quickly turned into a frown as Rhyss disentangled herself from Harley, stepping in between The Joker and Robin.

“He’s a friend. And we need some information.” Joker raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Have you heard of anything involving the Scarecrow and his fear toxin? He’s been working with someone, and too many people are dying.”
