Red Hood and Harley

The Big Day

Althea was pacing the floor in her dress horrified, she hadn't thought this through. Jerome was in the other room with Jester, J and Johnny. All three knew him and Jeremiah, they were going to know.

Lucy came in with a bottle of scotch and a grin,

"Scared they're gonna figure out that's not Jeremiah?"

Althea turned her nose up,

"I don't know what you're talk about. Can't a girl be nervous when she's about to be married?"

Lucy laughed and pointed her phone to her little sister's face, there was a text from Johnny

Tf is wrong with Jeremiah? Is he on something? It's like hanging out with Jerome again

Althea visibly cringed and went towards the door but Selina and Harley walked in with Harley smirking,

"Too late I'm pretty sure everyone but Bruce and Damien know. Jester and J have both texted me to ask if he's Jerome. Can we stop treating this family like we're stupid?"

Althea groaned,

"Well fuck I knew you'd figure it out. Jerome thought he could play it off but even slipping him some of meds he's still a spaz compared to his brother."

Harley shrugged,

"I told your dad only because if I didn't ease him into it he was going to shoot the idiot as he handed you away. What are you thinking do you want this Alley?"

Althea nodded with a frown,

"Everyone keeps asking that like I brought him back at gun point and this is a shotgun wedding. Look I've kept a lot of secrets.

His revival, J.J's name and Jeremiah is dead. I'm so over lying and sneaking around at 22. Jerome is alive, he killed Jeremiah, I blew up Arkham and Mooney's club, J.J is actually Jerome Jr and Jerome's name is on his birth certificate now."

Harley stared at her daughter and walked away after a few moments without a word. Selina patted the girl's shoulder.

"Give her time, she will forgive. So will your dad. They've been lying to you too, after your honeymoon go back to your penthouse. Take your empire back. You have an entire crew waiting for you. Harley never gave up your syndicate. Lucy and Johnny lied, didn't you Lucy? I love you being here and I love J.J being here but you're not happy. You sneak around and blow shit up, you're breaking IN to Arkham. I love you Alley Cat, just please come visit once you're gone?"

Althea glared at Lucy who nodded in shame and moved to get her makeup done.

"Kitty, I don't ever want to not speak to you again. I love you like blood. I may kill my mother and father in a few days. I want my makeup and hair done. I want to marry Jerome, and let the minister know who's name to use fuck it. I want to go to Wayne Towers and see what my new husband has in store for me.

I want one fucking normal god damn day or so help me I'll blow this whole fucking city up!"

Selina laughed and nodded,

"Yes ma'am bridezilla!"

Althea sat down in a chair to have her makeup done with a sigh,

Why did everything have to be done with a threat of bombs? Ugh

Soon after Cherry showed up dressed and slipped into a chair for hair and makeup.

"So what did I miss?"

Lucy laughed hard,

"Jeremiah is dead, Jerome is back and Althea brought him back to switch out brothers."
