It took two hours for Lucy to get to Gotham. She always wondered how it was. She was always a curious soul. She would always watch Gotham City news and watch YouTube videos of the most villainous people in Gotham. Joker was her favorite. The only thing that was annoying about him was that he disappeared. No one knew whether he was dead or alive. Anyways, now that she was in Gotham, she was prepared for the danger ahead. "Wow. This city is huge" She then walked in a gas station for snacks. She got a cherry soda, hot cheetos, and chocolate.
Once she was done snacking, she headed to the hideout of Bane. Her mom never knew but she had been tracking down Bane's locations and men for a while. She hated the man. Who wouldn't? She found the abandoned building and snuck her way over. She walked in. She didn't say "hello" like in the movies. She was smarter than that. She was quiet. Thanks to her mom, she knew how to handle business. She was in gymnastics since she reached middle school. Once she reached high school she didn't care to be a "girly gymnastics chick" as she would say. She just wanted to be the girl in the back and chill.
As she went deeper in the building she saw this man looking in this random fireplace. She didn't know who he was. She new every single henchman that Bane had. She's never seen this one before. He was tall, had a nice suit on, nice dress shoes, and slick back green hair. She snuck behind him and grabbed his neck. She put the steak knife in front. She asked quietly just to be safe. "Where is Bane?!" The mysterious man scoffed. "I don't know. Or maybe I do know. Why do you ask?" She turned him around with the knife still by his neck. She turned him slowly. They meet eye contact. She knew who he was by looking at his face. It was The Joker. He had also recognized her. He had seen those eyes before but didn't make it obvious. "Hey you're the joker, right?" He nodded his head. "Yeah and who are you? Why is a girl like you in this dangerous area of Gotham?" She told him her name. "I'm Lucy. Lucy Quinn. It's cool to meet you. I've seen and heard what you've done in this city. You're pretty badass" She realized what she said and made a serious face once again. "What are you doing here? I thought you were the King of Gotham City? You didn't like anyone?" He couldn't believe it. His daughter who he hasn't seen since she was an innocent child, now grown up and beautiful as ever. She reminded him so much of Harley. He cleared his throat. "You know who I am? Wow. You must really watch some old news." She scoffed. "Maybe. I'm just sick of this asshole Bane being the King now of Gotham. He isn't as bad ass as you" They were already getting along. She was basically fan girling. J raised his non existent eyebrows. "Thank you for the compliment but you haven't answered my question. Why are you here? I won't answer you until you answer me" She rolled her eyes. "I'll only tell you if you don't say anything. I'll kill you if you do. Literally." He laughed. "You don't look like you've ever taken a life before" She put the knife closer to his neck. "Try me." She said with a serious face even though she really had never done something like that in her life. Only in apps or video games. "Don't ask me that sweetheart. You know me and you know what I can do. Don't try me." He said with a serious face back. She couldn't talk anymore so she used her gymnastic moves and attacked Joker. He grabbed her instantly and held the knife against her neck now. "Nice try. Now tell me why you're here before I tell Bane that you're here" She shook her head but couldn't get caught. "Fine. Let me go and I'll tell you" He laughed. "Not that easy princess." She rolled her eyes. "Fine. Keep the knife against me and I'll tell you. Better?" He scoffed. "Very." She turned to him and crossed her arms. "I'm-I'm here because... Bane killed my father." J just kept looking at her. "Go on." She rolled her eyes. "He killed my father when I was about to turn 2. My mom never tells me much. Just that this Bane guy killed him and well now that I know that he is alive, I wanted to go after him as revenge and as justice for my dad. I never knew what he was like. No one would tell. Not even my butler Frost" J broke. "BUTLER?! Haha!" She looked at him funny. "What? Why are you laughing so hard for? Ever heard of a butler?" J realized what he had done and turned serious once again. "Nothing it's just something I used to call my old hench guy. Anyways, continue." She took a deep breath. "My mom never knew that I was so into this guy. Until today. I told her I wanted to kill him and she didn't take me seriously. I just want justice. She doesn't know either that I watched all these old news broadcasts about you and other villains in Gotham. She doesn't watch anything anymore. Just reality shows. No news whatsoever. She hates it." He nodded his head. "I see. Why doesn't she watch it anymore?" She shrugged her shoulders. " I don't know. I think it's cause it just has so much death in it that it would take her back to when my father died." Lucy looked down. "She always tells me she's happy but I know she's not. She always has a smile on her face. I love it but what I don't love is how she is ALWAYS happy. Like come on, seriously? But I know she does it for me. To make me feel better." J was getting teary eyed. Hearing how much Harley had changed and knowing that he was still on this earth without her knowing made him feel bad. Lucy looked up and saw him with the knife still pointed at her with a sad face. "Are you ok?" He looked up and took a deep breath. "Of course!" He laughed it off. "So now you tell me, why are you here Joker?" Hearing her saying his name made him giggle inside. "I'm here because I have some business with Bane. I'd suggest you go. He is a very strong man and if I can stop you, he can stop you even faster." She looked at him. There was something about him that somehow made her feel like they had a connection. "I'm not leaving until I kill him." He laughed. "You are so stubborn aren't you?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I guess" Little did they know Bane had arrived at the building. "What is this? Joker who is this girl? Why is she here?" She turned to see him and she couldn't believe it. There he was. The man that took her father away from her. The man who made her mom's life incomplete. Lucy couldn't say anything. She was too shocked. She just stood there. Bane got annoyed by her just looking at him. "Kill her Joker. She's wasting our time and she knows my location. How?" He looked at J. This was J's one chance to get out. To be with his daughter again and hopefully his love. Harley. J instantly threw the knife at one of Bane's tubes and grabbed Lucy. Bane couldn't breathe. "Go-Get-THEM" He said with all his might. Two of his men went after them and the one of them stayed to put Bane back to together.
J and Lucy ran into a car and drove off. The men didn't catch them. They were too late. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Why didn't you do anything?!" She sat there looking into space. "I-I don't know. I-I'm so disappointed in myself. FUCK!" J turned to look at her and pointed his finger at her. "Hey! Don't say that word ever again you hear me!" She looked at him with a confused face. "You don't tell me what to do! You're not my dad!" J got angry and held the steering wheel tight. "Well guess what you're with me and you're in my car! If you are going to be with me escaping this shit hole of a situation you're going to listen too me! Understand!" She rolled her eyes and sat up back in her chair. "Whatever." She looked out the window. It was going to be a long ride.
