Months went by without event as Harley and Jason ran the clown crew. Jeremiah completed Bane's bombs and Althea went through the motions of being a mom and occasionally going to check on her club.

"Jeremiah I'm bored, I wanna go do something bad. Can we have Granny Kitty watch J.J and go do something tonight?"

Althea whined pitifully as Jeremiah smirked at her adolescent like pout. He had wanted to go do something reckless for months but didn't want to push her into old ways.

"What do you have in mind my love? Remember a trip to Arkham a month before the wedding will cause Selina to have a meltdown."

Althea tapped her chin with one finger thoughtfully,

"Let's blow up that Fish Mooney's club. She's low on the pole and it won't start anything really, since Penguin and Falcone are gone she is a lone wolf."

Jeremiah laughed

"Where do we get explosives at 9pm on a Monday night babe?"

Althea grinned,

"I already called Ace they've prepped the club all I have to do is go get the detonator."

Jeremiah smiled,

"So you've been plotting for days? What if I had said no?"

Althea shrugged,

"I'd do it with Ace."

Jeremiah growled and kissed her roughly,

"Not a chance in hell I'd let you get all hot and bothered blowing shit up with anyone else."

Once Selina agreed to keep an eye on J.J the pair got ready to go out. Althea dug into the back of her closet and pulled out her purple and green leather pants and black corset. She slipped on her knee high combat boots and tossed her hair into long and high pigtails. She applied heavy black eyeliner and blood red lipstick. She looked every bit of her former self.

Jeremiah pulled on old black skinny jeans and a black hoodie with converse sneakers looking like a simple burglar compared to her.

"No no no you need something more intense for this."

Althea dug into the closet and pulled out an all black suit and a black dress shirt and black tie.

"This, it makes a statement."

Jeremiah smirked and quickly changed. Althea added eyeliner around his pale blue eyes and grinned,

"Damn ginger, you clean up nice. Let's go!"

The duo snuck out of their room quietly to avoid Althea being seen dressed as a psychotic leather fetish clown. They made it to the door before being spotted by Dick.

"Please tell me this is for a costume contest or something weird and sexy. Tell me this isn't back peddling."

Althea sighed,

"I need to relieve some tension. I'm not killing anyone. That's all I'm telling you."

Dick groaned,

"You're going to do something stupid aren't you? Jeremiah why are you going along with this?"

Jeremiah sighed,

"It's a small explosion, no bodies."

Dick turned his back,

"I saw nothing and if Damien and Tim come after you and take you to Arkham Selina is gonna trip."
