Recap: Dolly and the girls just got back from a mission. She broke her hand and invited Jaime to the club with them.

We were all on the dance floor, moving our bodies to the blaring music as Megan and I would randomly take shots. Jaime kept his hands on my waist the whole time, bringing me closer to his body the more I drank to warn other men.

"Gumdrop, don't worry about it." I said into his ear, having to yell slightly because of the loud music. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder and pressed my entire body onto his.
"I've been drinking for a while. I've built up quite the tolerance."

"I see that." He responded bitterly, "If anyone else had drank as much as you they'd be dead." He laughed slightly as the song changed.

As the night progressed more people filled the club, but I kept my eye on one man that was staring at Jaime and I the whole time. He sat in a booth, he didn't dance and he didn't order anything.

"What's that man's problem?" Jaime growled.

"You see it, too?"

"Yeah, it's starting to piss me off."

"I think I know him, I just can't remember from--"

The man had disappeared, my breath hitched in my throat as I looked around for him. I felt an elbow rub against my back. I pulled the gun out from the holster on the inside of my thigh and held it against his head.

The music stopped eruptly as a few people screamed, some ran out of the club and others into the bathrooms.

"Who are you?!" I spat at the bald, muscular black man who wore a leather jacket and dark shades. He laughed a bit as the strobe lights went off and the normal ones turned on.

"You don't remember me?" The man asked, I cocked the gun just as the group of girls I came with ran up to us, Jaime put his arms up to stop them from getting too close.

"Does it look like I f*cking remember you?"

"You haven't changed a bit Hatter; still as pretty, just as insane." I brought one of my hands back and socked him in the nose.

He started laughing again, I shook my hand out and prepared to do it again.
"Holmes." He said lowly, looking up at me with a blood dripping down from his nose, over his lips and down onto his white shirt.

"I-I..." He caught me off guard, smacking the gun out of my hand and tackling me to the floor.

He held me down by the shoulders and put a pistol to my temple.

"I didn't do it! That wasn't me!" I yelled, people began peeping from being tables and doors to see the situation, probably too dumbstruck to call the police.

"Bullsh*t! I saw you kill them with my own two eyes. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the psychotic smile. Not only did you kill them but you enjoyed it, too."

"I wasn't in control!"

"Whatever. I'm not here for me, I'm here under orders."

"Whose!?" Jaime yelled, I glared at him, trying to tell him to stay out of this.

Holmes cocked the gun, but Jaime had already put on his armour and the girls took out their weapons. Cassie got him with her lasso and Barbara shot him with a tranquilizer.

"He's too big, it's not enough to knock him out, just make him drowsy." She explained, running over to me along with everyone else.

I had my knees in my chest and I began rocking back and forth, shaking my head and mumbling under my breath "No no no no no..."

"What just happened?" Karen demanded, crossing her arms.

"Their dad... He tried to kill me... Because my dad told him to."

"Um..."
"I killed his kids. The Joker told him to kill me, maybe because he's seen that I got too close to you guys and he thought I might leak information, especially since I couldn't unlock the phone, so I didn't text or call."

"What phone?" Jaime asked. I stood up and began fast-walking out of the club.

"He sent me a phone a while ago, but I couldn't figure out the password."

"You mean to tell me if you did know the password you would've become a mole for him?!" Jaime yelled, making me flinch.

"I don't know..." I mumbled, shoving the double doors open.

"What do you mean you don't know!?" Jaime shouted. The girls began to back him up.

"I don't know what I would've done... I could've thought Artemis was worth too much to throw all of this away. Or I could've wanted payback for you guys letting her die!"

"We trusted you!" Megan shouted back at me. I scoffed.

"I definitely wouldn't do it now!"

"DICK BROKE UP WITH ME BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU WHORE! YOU BACKSTABBER!" Everything began going in slow motion, one moment Barbara was running at me, the next I was on the ground missing one of my back teeth.

She kicked me once in my torso but Cassie pulled her backwards as I coughed up blood all over my green dress.
"Do you even remember?!" Barbara shouted, "Do you even care?!" I stood up slowly, running my tongue over the empty space where I once held a tooth.

"That's the third time I've lost that tooth." I muttered.

"So what?! You expect me to feel bad for you?!" Barbara asked angrily.

"No. I expect you to actually try to hurt me! You give me all this sh*t, but you aren't willing to do anything about it! You let Dick leave you! And for what? Me?!" I spit at her feet the tooth I was holding on my tongue, "So if you're gonna hit me... Do it like you f*cking mean it!!!" I screamed at her, throwing my hands up in the air and she took a step back.

She furrowed her red eyebrows and began charging at me again. She punched me in the cheek and kicked me in the ribs.

"Are you trying? Or are you actually this weak?" I laughed, coughing up more dark red blood.

"Stop, Batgirl! Can't you see she's going into relapse?!" Jaime shouted, motioning a hand at me as I began laughing uncontrollably.

"I killed his children! I deserve it! So hit me like you--" She struck me again in the ribs, knocking me to the ground once again.

"Dick deserves so much better than you."

"So I guess that means not you, either." I groaned, sitting up.

"You b*tch!" Barbara went to kick me in the head but a new person came and held her back.

"You're late." I grumbled before falling back onto the floor and passing out.

A/N: heyyy.... How's it going...? Sorry it's been forever since I updated. But I'm back now, just in time for Dolly's birthday, which is December 31st. Anyway, I'm back to finish the story and hopefully write a new one. XOXO😘😘😘
