The Lost Queen Card

Chapter 8: Death

Harley pulled the trigger and blood sprouted out from her back and chest. Blood dripped and tears fell as Harley dies in the fastest rate. Joker reached for her body before she fell and looked at her.

"Harley?" He called even though it was very obvious to him that she is dead.

"Harley..." He called again.

He carried her to their old bed and Joker cried a river tears. This was the most controversial time of his life for an insane person like him.

"Dammit! Harley!!!" He screamed and punched the wall as he looks at her with regret and sadness. His old bed was stained with her blood.

"Mom?"

Joker faced her daughter that was standing before the door. Lucy looked at Joker with a questioning look and to her mother with a shock face.

Lucy's hair turned violet as she runs towards her mother.

"Mommy?" Lucy called. "I'll get you back."

Lucy thought of a power that could heal her mother but she has no memory that she saw one rather she saw a memory where she could time travel and stop the certain event.

"Lucy I'm sorry...."  Joker spoke.

"I know it's not your fault." Lucy replied and smiled.

She breathed in and out and her hair turned back to its normal shade. She stood up straight and concentrated on her power. Red aura circled around her and the ground shook.

Time reversed as everything went back to the event when Harley pointed the gun to her chest.

Harley pointed the gun on her chest and...

"Mom!"

Harley looked at her and wondered what she's doing here but suddenly Lucy collapsed.

"Lucy!"

Lucy grew 4 inches tall and her her lips became more blood in color and it extended.

"What's happening to her???"

Joker remembered what her daughter has done and realized that there is a price to pay for turning back the time.

"Your blood still stained on the bed when you died and Lucy turned back the time just for you."

Harley sobbed as she held her daughter who looks dead.

"Harley listen to me. Let's just take her to the hospital."
He carried Lucy who looked 4 years old now.

When Lucy was finally taken to the ER Harley kept sobbing in the arms of Joker. Most of the people were shocked and afraid for the sudden appearance of the clown prince of crime.

"I'm so stupid for what I've done and now my daughter got older." Harley sobbed.

"Shhhhhhh it's okay Harley everything wil be alright." He hugged Harley and lets her tears wet his shoulder.

"Joker you have to come with us."

Batman along with Nightwing pulled away Joker from Harley.

"No!"

"It's okay Harley.... just take care of Lucy okay?" He grinned and went along with Batman and Nightwing wherein they would take him to Arkham Asylum.  Tears never stopped falling from Harley's cheeks as she realizes that everything is falling apart.

Harley's POV
This is all my fault! Lucy was right! And I'm stupid enough to kill myself. The doctor came minutes after Joker was arrested giving the results.

"Nothing's wrong with your daughter ma'am she just fell asleep maybe because she's tired."

After that I went in the room to see Lucy sound  asleep but she grew older she turned from a 2 years old to a 4 years old kid.

My phone rang and I answered.

"Hello?"

"This is S.H.E.I.L.D. we'd like to know more about your daughter's power."

This doesn't sound right.

"Could you call back another time something came up.."

"Alright we'll call another time ma'am"

Somebody came in the room which made me grab my gun and point it at the person.

"Relax Harley they won't do anything to her."

A man in a business suit came and rested his left hand on her right shoulder. Harley relaxed but worried for Joker.

"What if she was turned into a weapon?"

"She won't"

"What did you do to Joker?"

"Put him in prison."

"He's really changed. He accepted my daughter more that I accepted him again. There's no point in putting him in prison. That would only make him go out again and go look for us."

"We can't tell later he's just going trick you!"

I sighed and thought that there is no other way for me to convince that he is changed. I'll just have to get him out of jail.
