Dana Redfield Obsession of The Joker Part 1 Heroes and Villains
A loud gunshot could be heard from afar as Gordon fired two shots disorienting a criminal before cuffing him and hauling him back to prison.
"I'm getting too old for this," Gordon complained unknowing that Batman stood in front of him.
"I wouldn't say that or at least that's not what Barbera says," Batman said.
Gordon scratched the back of his neck knowing it was the truth however he sliced it.
He nodded.
"Jim you should head home and rest; I think you've had all you can with punks like him," Batman suggested.
"Yea thanks Batman I'll take that in consideration," Gordon replied getting in his car and driving home.
I worry about him sometimes but his heart is in the right place Batman thought with a little smile as he disappeared into the night.
Joker sat in his secret lair watching some cartoons with a bored look on his face.
"You don't look so jolly Mista J," Harley said stating the obvious.
"Oh Harley you read me so easily you could be a psychic reader or something. I have been trying for weeks to map out a plan to stop Batman but all attempts have come up short," Joker explained his frustrations.
"Well Christmas is around the corner we could do something during the holidays," Harley suggested.
Joker blinked for a few seconds then hugged and kissed Harley before walking over to a sleigh he made himself with his name spray painted on the front, bombs of all kinds and rocket thrusters on the back to power it up.
"Harley my dear you are a genius! Why didn't I think of this before? I had this sleigh for a few months and I never thought to use it until now so now Gotham is going to see Santa Joker's presents! Do be careful children your heads will explode when you see them," Joker said laughing.
"Glad to see your old happy self Mista J," Harley said happily.
Unknowing to them, a girl with short dark green hair stood and watched her hero bask in his glory.
"Whoa that sleigh looks cool," Dana Redfield whispered.
She almost giggled but her cellphone went off making a lot of unwanted noise.
"What was that?" Joker asked walking over to the source of the noise.
As soon as he walked over a corner, the only thing that was there was well nothing which confused Joker.
"Did you see anyone?" Harley asked.
"No I did not Harley but whoever was here they were smart to leave," Joker responded sharply.
That was until he noticed a well drawn picture of him standing over Batman's battered bruised body.
"Whoa that looks awesome," Harley said looking at the detailed drawing.
Joker thought so as well, he nailed it to the front of his sleigh.
"There we go," Joker said wiping his hands.
From another hiding spot Dana smiled that her art pleased the Clown Prince Of Crime himself.
Meanwhile, Bruce read a book in his mansion's living room until his butler Alfred walked in with a look of concern.
"Master Bruce I believe something is on your mind. Would you like to ask me?" Alfred insisted.
"I'll be honest with you Alfred, after what happened to Jason a few months ago when he was with Dana...I get a feeling that she'll follow in Joker's footsteps or worse," Bruce expressed a fear that has been on his mind.
"Sir you know you did everything for Mister Todd. Dana was in love with him yes but do you think he will after her hoping to get Dana back after becoming that dreadful Red Hood?" Alfred asked.
That was a difficult question to answer as Bruce couldn't conjure up an answer to fit that.
Dana walked through the door and went past Bruce and Alfred, proceeded to walk upstairs to take a shower.
"They did have a great love story all things considered but I miss stress Master Bruce that you try to have a talk with her," Alfred suggested.
Bruce nodded.
Alfred left the room to go prepare dinner for the two of them.
Once Dana got out of the shower and put her clothes on she noticed Bruce Wayne walking in her room, that pissed her off a little.
"Dana I know I'm the last person you want to talk about but please understand where I'm coming from," Bruce began to say.
Dana said nothing and just looked at a picture of her and Jason Todd in high school before he became the Red Hood.
"I know you lost him, the Jason you loved but I tried to save him and I'm sorry," Bruce said.
"You let him die! Why didn't you save him or prevented something like this!" Dana shouted with angry tears in her eyes.
"I take full responsibility for what happened but you know as well as I do that Jason was reckless," Bruce said trying to bring a valuable reason.
"I didn't care!" Dana's tears kept flowing down her face.
Bruce stared at her with shock that she still loved him despite Jason being reckless as he was.
Dana stared at Wayne for a good minute before running out the room.
She ran past Alfred who was about to call them down for dinner.
"Miss Redfield will you have dinner with Master Bruce or shall I send it in your room?" Alfred asked.
"Could you send it in my room please?" Dana requested trying to wipe her tears.
"Of course Miss Redfield," Alfred replied smiling.
Bruce left the room ashamed at his failed attempt to try talking Dana when clearly she wouldn't listen.
That night Dana sat in her room eating when the phone started vibrating and when she looked at the caller I.D. to reveal Joker's name.
"Hello?" Dana asked pressing the phone close to her ear.
"Yes are you Dana Redfield? I found your painting and liked it so much that it holds a special place on my sleigh...the front," Joker said with a chuckle.
"Thank you," Dana said.
"Oh don't mention it dollface now tell you what: Why don't you head over to my lair and I can get you away from that masked freak," Joker suggested.
"That sounds like fun," Dana replied flashing a smirk.
"Splendid I'll see you tomorrow," Joker said.
Dana nodded and hanged up the phone smiling that she held a conversation with the Joker.
She finished eating then went back to her room to draw some more art.
"I take it the talk with Miss Redfield didn't go as you planned Master Bruce," Alfred said cleaning up a glass.
"Everytime I try to get through to her but it's like she's in another world," Bruce explained.
"Give it time Master Bruce, in time Miss Redfield will come around and when she does I think you can safely say you won against Joker," Alfred reassured Bruce.
"You always know what to say," Bruce said patting his butler on the back.
Alfred smiled at that comment.
Dana put on her pajamas and drifted off to sleep as soon as she plopped herself into bed, covered in blankets Jason bought for her during a carnival in Gotham last summer.
She shed a tear thinking about her lover who was no longer here.
