Red Hood and Harley

A Son's Guilt

Jester did as his father asked, the docks were in order and the club was being decorated by the girls for the big announcement.

Now with Joker and Harley at Dr.Thompson in the Narrows getting her checked out he had time to make a detour alone. He stopped his car at Wayne Manor and hit the buzzer at the gate. An older voice spoke, "yes?" Jester cleared the fear from his throat and said, "Jester Quinn to see..... preferably Bruce Wayne not Jason Todd? I owe an explanation to them.... to my brother and sister."

Alfred buzzed him in after checking the cameras and called for Master Bruce before Jason could catch a glimpse of the kid and kill him. Bruce came to the front door and Alfred whispered, "Well Master Bruce, there is one Jester Quinn who is hiding in his car wanting to talk to you and scared to death of Jason."

Bruce raised his eyebrows and nodded. He walked out the door and up to the black GTR in front of his home. Jester rolled the window down and quickly began to speak, "ok listen look, I fucked up. I know that now. I came here mad I lost my dad before I got to meet him. That my mom lied. And with a large quantity of inherited crazy ok? I knew what he was and still sat back and had my fit to guilt my ma about never knowing him. I sure as hell had no idea he was frozen in the basement or could come back to life! But I also didn't tell her not to or stop it when she snapped and had that strange doctor bring him back. Now shes pregnant, my old man did it on purpose as revenge to Jason. But... I think he fucking loves her. Its fucked up and twisted but in his insanity he loves her. I'm not trying to keep my ma locked up or from what she wants but you and I both know Jason isn't gonna take this well. So I came to tell you all because once my ma sobers from giggles and has her head on right, he might have a chance to talk sense into her, but pops ain't gonna let her go this time. He made it clear if she leaves with this kid he will kill her and everyone who helped. Jason has to let it go, for Lil Jason and Lucy. He has to stop hanging out on roof tops outside the club. He has to walk away. Please, I don't want my ma or the kids dead. I might be a drug dealer and gun runner but I'm not having babies deaths on my plate." Jester gulped a big swallow of air once he finished his speech.

Bruce stood there for a few moments and nodded. "You know kid you're right. Harley would be devastated if something happened to the twins and Jason would never forgive himself. However, you're right this is your fault. You ruined lives for your selfish wants." Bruce paused "but given the chance to have my parents back I don't know what length I would go to as well. Get the hell out of here and stay away. Never come back to my home Jester."

Bruce turned to walk away and Jester spoke up "Can I.... can I see the twins just once? To take a photo of them for my ma?" Bruce shook his head and said "wait here" he walked into the house and returned with a 5×7. "Here, just taken this past weekend. Now get the hell out of here." Jester nodded and rolled up his window pulling out of the drive.

Bruce waited until he was long gone and went into the house. "Jason we need to talk." He shouted from the bottom of the stairs.....
After explaining everything to Jason all he could do was smash the sitting room to pieces and yell in a rage of noise. He finally calmed a little and said, "I get it.... she would want this too... but it fucking hurts. It fucking hurts like hell, not for me but for my fucking kids." He punched a wall. "If I have my opportunity to kill that fucking clown I will take it.... and bring her and his fucking spawns home. And this time when hes ficking dead I'm gonna make sure he stays dead."
