Red Hood and Harley

Making Them Pay

Trigger warning violence in school

The week of Althea's suspension went by quickly, she completed her school work with extra credit the first day and spent the rest of the time focused on finishing the bomb Joker had started and learning to make his Venom.

J came home with tales from school telling her about how everyone was making get well cards and nonsense for the three she beat up. Lucy had slowly forgiven her realizing that the girls were snobs and prolly started it.

The night before she got to go back to school Althea buzzed with excitement, she had finished the bomb and tailored Joker's trenchcoat to fit her. If they wanted clown royalty they could have it. She prepared her backpack which Harley had narrowed her eyes at but said nothing. A grenade, the AK, the purple Beretta, ammo and some Venom for kicks. She prepared it all and went to bed like a kid on Christmas Eve.

The following morning Althea came down to an empty house, apperantly there was an ugly brawl with the bats vs Bane and J and Lucy were missing school to recover. That made Althea's plans easier without having them there when it started. She grabbed a coffee and chugged it with a bagel and ran out to her car before anyone could see her look.

Once at Gotham Prep Althea surveyed the kids going in, she waited for the warning Bell and grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder. She calmly walked in through a back door and pulled out the Venom bomb and placed it in the gym under the bleachers, there was a morning assembly and it would take out the most easily.

She then laid low in the locker room and waited until the rally stated. She walked into the hall and in front of the nearest exit. Her green hair slicked back and in twin French braids with her father's coat on, black leggings and a green tank top with her mother's combat boots there was no denying who she was. Althea double checked her ammo and the grenade in her pocket. She gave a giggle and pressed the button on the detenator. The explosion rocked the gym, she could hear screams before laughter filled the air and people ran out towards her only to see her and her grin before she opened fire with the AK in her hands and began to laugh as a look of horror filled the survivors eyes.

Students fell left and right as others slipped in blood and fell to be shot as she walked towards the herd. Althea's laughter grew as she pulled the grenade and threw it at the other exit the few kids tried to escape from. The explosion rocked the foundation.

Althea took out her Beretta and shot into the heads of anyone she found moving as she quickly headed for the exit giggling.

She heard a familiar swish and tried to quicken her pace but Batman (uncle Damien) grabbed her arm, "Why? You're not him. You just proved everyone right!" He growled angrily trying to avoid stepping on students.

Althea placed the barrel of the Beretta to Batman's forehead, "I'm leaving Uncle Bat, I did the world a favor this generation was trash. These kids were nothing but spoiled and entitled assholes who wanted to destroy anyone that wasn't like them. Future lawyers and politicians, trust me it was for the best."

Althea's eyes were far away as she spoke and Damien's grip loosened on her enough for her to break away and run. She quickly made it to her car and took off leaving Damien sick to his stomach.

Harley sat in front of the TV sobbing hysterically into Selina's arms while the death toll at the school climbed, so far no survivors. Jason and Damien were looking for Althea and J and Lucy were at their school helping look for survivors as Robin and Batgirl.

"She's not a bad kid Kitty I don't get it? Why why why? She just put a Target on her back and promised herself a one way ticket to Arkham IF we can keep her out of Blackgate. Ugh, where the hell.... Oh my God I know." Harley jumped up and ran out the door leaving Bruce and Selina confused as the TV chatted on about body counts at Gotham Prep.
