Red Hood and Harley

A Fast Forward three months

Red Hood teaming with Harley Quinn quickly became a thorn in the underworld's side. The clown's impulsive and murderous tendencies paired with the former Robin's focus and skill were the force no one really wanted to mess with. They moved to an old penthouse of Harley's she used when hiding from Joker.

Batman had enlisted Nightwing's help in Gotham to try to slow down the insane family bringing Gotham to it's knees.

Strange had succeeded in bringing Jesse back with an unfortunate tide turn, he seemed to be back to his younger mentality. Giggles was rebuilt with a wheelchair ramp up the back for Cherry who no longer had a problem with the violence her husband's family inflicted. Angry for herself and her son's trauma she no longer concerned herself with thoughts of sympathy.

J got his own place not too far from Grin but avoided joining in on the family buisnesses.

J.J had been released and Lucy was back to her semi cheerful self. Frost had gotten his wish to retire with his son taking his spot. Althea and Jerome were only delving deeper into insanity with Glee.

Althea paced the living room while screaming at Bud and Lou, "I want to know where he is?! Contrary to his opinion I'm the boss!"

The twins stood in silence but made side eye contact cringing. If her ginger haired boyfriend didn't show up soon they were either speaking up or eating lead. The door opened and closed with a familiar cackle and dueling sighs of silent relief from the twins as Althea roared

"Where have you been?!? You left your phone?"

Jerome simply grinned lopsided as he walked up to his devilishly mad girlfriend with his hands behind his back. "Well my sweets it's been four months we have been causing chaos together. I wanted to mark the moment."

He pulled a box from behind his back and handed it to his now silent psycho. Althea opened the lid of the box and gave the ginger a toothy grin, "Where did you find this?" She carefully pulled out a purple handled butterfly knife that looked like it had seen better days.

"It was on him when he died. I seen a hundred videos he always had it in his hand." Jerome grin only seemed to grow, "Arkham, they took everything he had on him and locked it up with everyone else's stuff. Check it out, I got all your mom's old stuff too!"

Althea's eyebrows cinched together, "So you snuck into Arkham?"

Jerome cackled, "Hell no, I donated to an under paid guard handsomely and received some parcels for my efforts Alley!"

The green haired girl giggled and kissed him hard as she slipped the knife into her pocket and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're amazing!" She murmured as she pulled away with a grin, "My ma will be so excited!"

Bruce frowned at the computer screen in the Batcave as he watched his adopted son and his family create chaos and rob banks across the enormous screen. Damien stood behind his father cowl off with a scowl on his face, "I do not understand this father, why aren't we just locking them all up?"

Jason dropped onto a thug in a warehouse on the screen and began beating him senseless as Lucy and Althea rushed a herd of scared children out while their mother took a bat to the skulls of other men.

They watched in silence as this continued and Nightwing, "What is Dick doing there?!?" Damien gasped. Bruce looked strained, "It was a child trafficking ring..." Nightwing pulled Harley off of a thug while shouting at her and Jason to go before the cops arrived. The pair ran off leaving Dick to survey the mess before him. "this is why I can't just let you lock them up in Arkham. There is still good left in them son. They've faced so much tragedy, they've lost their way."

Damien scowled, "You're weak Father, Jason isn't dead. Stop feeling guilty, grandfather brought him back. Harley chose to join The Joker more than once. Althea decided to slaughter her classmates. J.J and Lucy weren't cut out to be part of our mission. Stop blaming yourself and making excuses. That whole family is rotten. Let me lock them up."

Selina's voice came from behind them, "Nice speech D but it's not happening. You and Bruce did nothing but help push them all to a breaking point. They're still family and I've been to Arkham, I will not see anyone I love be tossed back into that hell."

Bruce frowned and nodded in silent agreement as Damien stormed from the cave with nothing left to say to either.

Harley was dragging her bloody bat as her and Jason trekked to his bike for the ride home, "I'm so tired, carry me."

She tried to look as sweet and innocent as she could but Jason only laughed, "Loony Toons, you can't give the angel face when you're splattered in blood. It's a shame you're tired though...." He trailed off as the pair turned into an alley, "Watching you crack those creeps' skulls was the hottest thing I've ever seen." He finished with a smirk.

Harley grinned, "oh yeah?"

He nodded at his wife, "definitely, I can't wait to get you home." With a sudden refreshed energy Harley quickly made it back to The bike and hopped on,

"Well let's get going big boy!" She hollered with laughter in her voice and of course Jason complied, who could argue with that request!
