The Lost Queen Card

Chapter 6: Fall

Joker thought of searching around Gotham by the time he saw the psychiatrist that left him years ago. He put on his disguise of a police officer and walked around Gotham. His eyes searching for a certain color of green hair on a kid. As he walks around he stopped by the old apartment of Harley Quinn.

Of course it all makes sense! Harley has no place yet and maybe she thought that I have forgotten about it. The Joker thought. He went on the back to avoid any suspicion that a police officer goes in the apartment. He went from ground floor to a higher floor hoping he would hear Lucy's voice or see her beautiful green hair. As he search around the door open revealing Selina and Ivy waving good bye to Harley.

He walked secretly on the hallway hoping that Selina and Ivy would not notice.

"Lucy ummm mommy is just going to get food in the canteen do you want anything?" Harley asked as she closed the door.

"Fries please." Lucy said.

"And Lucy reminder."

Lucy looked up her mom as she stops playing fire like Diablo from the suicide squad.

"take care" she smiled and took some money and went out.

Harley went the other way and Joker went in Harley's room. By the time he opened the door he saw Lucy lifting books and toys by the use of telekinesis.

"Lucy?"

The things fell, Lucy's green violet hair turned blue, and her pupils from her eyes became thin as she looks at the person who went in.

Her face turned from blank into a cheek level smile.

"Mister J!" She said and went to him for a hug.

"If it isn't my favorite little minx." He grinned messed with her hair. "By the way have you seen the letter I left on the mask."

"Nope but I think my mom did." She let go from the hug.

"How did you know?"

"I read her mind."

"So you do know what's in the letter."

"Yes. You're my dad." Lucy smiled and Joker chuckled.

"How about you and I spend a quality time while your mother is away?"

"I'd love to Dad!"

They played and played until Lucy senses a her mother coming.

"Shhhhh! Mom's coming we have to hide you." Lucy whispers.

"Where do I hide coz everything seems like I'll be seen except for the window."

"Don't worry I'll take care of it just keep quiet."

Lucy held his hand and Joker doesn't seem to know what good will it make if she held his hand.

"Sweetie I'm home." Harley called and went in.

"Was I gone for too long." Harley looked at the living room and saw her just standing still.

"Not really."

"Why what's wrong?" 

"Just hungry."

"Okay."

Joker looked at Lucy in a surprising way because Joker is just standing right with her and Harley didn't see it. Lucy gave a hysterical smile reassuring that he won't be seen.

"Sweetie I've brought your french fries!"

They went into the kitchen still holding each others hands. Harley sat down on the right side of Lucy while Joker on the left side.

After Lucy happiky ate the fries she thought of asking her mom about his father. Joker sat there looking at his two beautifully insane girls.

"Mom?"

"Yeah?" Harley puts down her glasses, pen and paper.

"How does dad look like?"

Harley looked at her daughter with shock not knowing what to say, Joker however anticipated this.

"You don't have a father." Harley said and continued on what she was doing.

"Sure I have. If I don't have one then I wouldn't be here." Lucy said.

"Sweetie ummmm.... your father is not coming anymore... he doesn't love us okay?" Harley nervously said not even looking at her daughter whose hair has turned green because of sadness.

"Sure he does!" Lucy defended.

"IF HE LOVES US HE WOULDN'T BE A CRIMINAL AND WOULDN'T TRY TO KILL ME BECAUSE I WAS GONE FOR YOUR VERY SAKE SO STOP ASKING WHERE YOUR FATHER IS, WHERE YOUR FATHER IS AND IF HE IS EVER GOING TO SHOW UP WILL YAH?! HE WILL NEVER LOVE US!"

Lucy looked at her mother in disbelief and looked at his father who bowed down his head in guilt. Tears fell down from her eyes as her mother pants from what she has said.

"It's better if you don't know him at all. Now be the obedient girl and erase what ever memory you have with your father." Harley looked at Joker who appeared all of a sudden and was still sitting on the chair.

"You knew?" Joker asked.

"I'm not stupid enough Mr. Napier I know my daughter's power and so leave me and my daughter alone." Harley said and looked at Lucy in disappointment.

"I won't erase that memory mom....... dad is not a bad guy anymore."

"What makes you say that?" Harley asked raising her left eyebrow.

"Here...." Lucy held the hand of his mother and father and their minds went into their memory.
