"L-Linky?" asked Lori

"H-how is this possible?" asked Lisa as she too was surprised

"H-he's alive... HE'S ALIVE!" cried out Lori as she fell to the ground in tears

"How we even know that's him, dudes?" asked Luna as she wiped away tears in her eyes

"LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT HIS HAIR! HIS FACE! H-he's alive... h-he's alive," cried Lori as her husband looked at Linka

"Sweetheart, look... it's Linka," he said

"Y-you s-said s-she was j-jokerized," Lori said as she looked at her parents

"We thought so too," said Rita

"My god, dudes, how are we going to apologize to him?" asked Luna as they all began to think of a way for them to apologize to their brother

With The Bat:

"Sir, you might want to look at this," said Alfred as Bruce walked over to the TV

"Well she looks familiar," said Bruce as he looked at Linka

"That's not all, doesn't she ring a few bells?" asked Alfred as he rewound the TV to show Harleen

"That's Harley!" said Bruce in surprise

"Yes, it appears so,"

"What's Joker planning this time?"

"I have no idea, sir, but for now I suggest we think about our options. He seems to have a great disliking for Batman," suggested Alfred as Bruce began to think

With Lincoln The Next Morning:

Lincoln looked around his bedroom as he stretched and got dressed. He wore a long-sleeved white t-shirt with jeans and dress shoes. He put his hair in a low-ponytail as he walked out of his room to see everyone was already eating "Morning, puddin'," said Harleen

"Morning, Uncle Lincoln!" cheered Linka

"Morning, bro," said Lily as Punch and Judy gave mods

"Morning, everyone, man what a night," said Lincoln as he sat down

"You're telling me, man I never saw anyone move like that," said Lily as Harleen placed a plate on pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a glass of OJ in front of Lincoln

"Thank-you," he said

"Anything for my fiance!" said Harleen with a smile as Lincoln suddenly grinned evilly

"That reminds me, why not invite some family over for breakfast?" Lincoln said as he strolled over to Lynns room. He walked in and came back out with Lynn in her wheelchair and set her next to Lily, who looked away with shame and sadness "Nice of you to join us, Lynn, have anything to say to your sister?" asked Lincoln with a grin as Lynns eyes slowly looked at Lily. Even though they looked dead, you could see the smallest hint of surprise as Lynn started to look around the table and saw her niece eating happily "L-L," she started to say, but was interrupted

"Bah, who am I kidding, your head is so screwed up by yours truly that you can't speak! Now to get to eating," said Lincoln as he sat down in his chair across from Lynn and started to eat. Lynn was even more surprised as she forced her mouth to move. But it was useless as she didn't say a thing, she didn't know what to say. She wanted to cry, but why? Was it because she saw Lincoln alive and well? Was it because she wanted to make him feel better after seeing what he had been through? Or was it because she wanted to say sorry for what she had done to him? She didn't know as she watched them all eat. When they were done, Linka walked over to her and said: "Have a nice day, you'll be going back into your room courtisy of me!" as she started to roll Lynn over to her room. Lynn tried to protest... but again, she couldn't move. Lily about reached her door when she said "Whew! You need a bath!"

"I can do it!" said Lily suddenly as Linka looked over at her

"Why?" she asked

"I-I feel responsible for this, s~~o how about I help out a little?" Lily asked as Linka shrugged and rolled her over to the bathroom. Linka left with a smile as Lily looked at her older sister with a sad look "You know... it didn't have to be like this," she said as she started the bath. When the water was right she started to undress Lynn "I'm actually speechless about what's happened these past few days," Lily continued to speak as she managed to put Lynns figure into the water

'What's this about?' Lynn thought as Lily rolled up her sleeves and reached for a bottle of soap

"One moment I was sitting with my sisters, mom, dad, eating at a Chinese place and the next I find out I have an older brother. Who's the arch nemesis of the Batman no less!" Lily said with a light chuckle

'What's she talking about? Joker is the Batmans enemy, not Lincoln,'

"I know it's hard to explain, but I have so... so many questions," Lily said as she started to tear up "I-I wanted to know so many things. I-I wanted t-to know why you lied to me f-for s-so m-many y-years!" Lily cried

'Oh god, Lily... Lily, what can I do? Joker did this to me, I can't move, I can barely speak, hell I'm lucky enough to still have control over my bouls,' Lynn thought as Lily started to cry

"Wh-y did- did you l-lie t-to me a-about m-me h-ha-ving a b-brother? W-why did y-you d-do th-at to him?" Lily asked through her tears

'I was an idiot! I was too prideful to accept defeat and blamed it on him!' shouted Lynn in her mind

"WHY DID HE HAVE TO BECOME JOKER?!" shouted Lily as Lynns heart skipped a beat

'N-No, YOU'RE LYING! MY BROTHER WOULD NEVER BE THAT MONSTER!' screamed Lynn in her head as Lily continued to cry, all while Lynn asked questions in her head and Lily washed her

Later:

"Alright, Punch, Judy, come here," said Lincoln as the two walked over to him and Harleen

"Hun, what are you doing?" asked Harleen

"I'm devising a plan to get rid of the Bat while also fixing this city," said Lincoln with a grin

"What are you talking about? Isn't this city fine as it is?" asked Harleen as both Punch and Judy gave questionable looks

"Hear me out! What if, and I'm just if, we stopped fighting over such petty things and actually used our head?" said Lincoln

"Again, is English an option here?" asked Harleen as Lincoln face-palmed

"What I'm saying is that we get togather some of our old 'friends' and make this city a better place and remove Batman!" Lincoln said as Punch and Judy looked at each other. Punch then made a coo-coo motion with his finger as Judy shrugged "How are we supposed to do that?" Harleen asked

"Simple, tell me Har; can you get to work on some machines for me?" Lincoln asked

"What exactly am I working on?" Harleen asked

"You'll see once I get me a riddle solver," replied Lincoln as he laughed a little.
