Chapter 1: A Memory, her new job, and Joker
She was only 5 ½ years old when it happened. How much can a five year old remember? A lot when it was the most horrible experience of your life. She remembered sitting in a large waiting area with a scary woman next to her. Her daddy had called her Mercy. Mercy may have been nice to her but she scared her. She had asked Mercy how old she was. Mercy just looked at her and answered. "Old enough to be your mother kid."
Now when she looked back on it, Mercy actually was old enough to be her mother. Mercy had been 18 years old when she met her. Meaning Mercy had to be 13 when she had her.
She also remembered her father calling for her. She had went to her father who held her hand and talked to a bald man. "Are you sure you can make her the perfect villain?" asked her daddy.
"I'm pretty sure. I've got the perfect DNA that will work." said the man.
"You still giving me the money we agreed on?" asked her daddy.
"Yes. All accounted for in that bad on the table." said the man.
Her daddy crouched down. "Now you're going to stay here with the nice man." said her daddy.
"But daddy…" she stared.
"No buts. You be a good girl. He and Mercy will take care of you." said her daddy. He kissed her on the forehead and grabbed the bag on the table. He nodded to the man and walked off leaving his daughter in the large office with the scary man.
"You know any super heroes kid?" asked the man looking down at her.
"I know of Superman and Batman." she replied.
"Good enough." said the man.
That night began the most horrible three weeks of her life. He had told her it was an exam to make sure she was healthy but the last exam she had about half a year ago, she remembered didn't involve multiple shots. From each shot there was more and more pain. It was so bad that Mercy had to hold her down a few times so he could continue. The man's name…was Lex Luthor. She had heard Mercy saw Lex and one of his employees call him Mr. Luthor. A 5 ½ year old can be 2 and 2 together.
One the second week he injected her with a certain DNA. He never said who it belong too. She felt like her body would explode from the shot. The day after the shot, Lex tried to made a small incision on her right arm with a scalpel but once he put pressure on the surgical tool, it snapped in half. Nothing happened to her skin though. He just smiled and looked at Mercy. The only word leaving his mouth was "Success."
"For now." said Mercy's reply making his smile disappear.
The third week had come and one day that, as he injected more shots into her, it got worse. So bad she ended up screaming which happened to be a smaller version of her super scream making Lex and Mercy hold their ears. Superman had been a mile from where she was and she remembered him bursting in and seeing her. He fought Lex and got him away from her. Mercy tried but ended up on the floor knocked out. All he did was move and she ended up slamming into the wall.
Superman had picked her up and told Luthor never to come near this girl ever again. Superman had her spend the night with his parents that night. She had learned his name was Clark Kent and swore to him she'd never tell. He just smiled at her and they took care of her for the night. Clark called Bruce Wayne that night, Clark didn't want her in Metropolis. He wanted her somewhere safe and new Bruce was the best choice he had.
Bruce said he'd take her in after Clark told him everything. The next morning Superman brought her to Gotham City. She thought it was cool how he could fly and Superman just patted her on the head. She was greeted by Bruce and his butler/old family friend Alfred. Bruce was nice and she liked him instantly.
He had crouched down in front of her. "What's your name?" he asked.
She just smiled and said "Angel." He smiled back.
"Angel!" shouted a voice making blue eyes look towards the door. It was 12 years later and 17 year old Angelina Martha Wayne sat in a chair over looking the water behind Wayne Manor. Bruce walked in. "Angel I called you."
"I know. I don't feel good." lied Angel.
"That's a huge lie. From Clark's DNA you don't get sick." said Bruce. Angel sighed heavily. Angel had ended up with a large majority of Superman's powers from the DNA that Lex injected into her. "Have you been up all night?"
"Clark's DNA." said Angel looking back out the window.
"Self-Sufficiency I know." said Bruce sitting on Angel's bed and he got a yelp making him jump back up. Angel's black kitten Gotham moved.
"Gotham's on the bed." said Angel.
"Yeah I can see that." said Bruce sitting back down. "Why did you name him Gotham?"
"It's easy to remember." said Angel shrugging.
"Lady Angel." said Alfred walking in with a package. "A package arrived for you. It's from Arkham Asylum." Angel took it from him and opened it.
"What does it say?" asked Bruce.
"Dear Lady Wayne, we are happy to inform you that you have been accepted as out new psychiatrist!" said Angel happily. "YES!"
Bruce flinched slightly at Angel's outburst and that wasn't even with her super scream. "When do you start?" asked Bruce.
"Tomorrow." said Angel reading more into the letter. She took the lab coat out of the box and smiled. Her badge hanging from the coat. She had gone earlier and had her picture taken just 'in case' she got the job. "Says I need to train under Dr. Young. Oh…she's hot."
"Angel." said Bruce taking the letter from Angel.
"What? She is." said Angel shrugging. Bruce sat there reading it. "Wanna hear something I find wrong that I can do?"
"Sure." sighed Bruce.
"But Puddin' it's not my fault!" whined Angel like Harley Quinn. Bruce stared at her with a weird look on his face.
"Yeah…that's not the bad thing. I can laugh like him, Dad." sighed Angel.
"That's only when you're angry." said Bruce.
"I hate that I laugh like him. What if I have him for a patient and I get angry at him and start laughing?" asked Angel. "If Sharp finds out…"
"He won't find out. Joker has no say in your life anymore. He sold you to Luthor and I bet you he's kicking himself for it." said Bruce rubbing Angel's head.
"Mm…" said Angel looking off to the side where Gotham was laying. "He sold me for 1 million dollars…I think." Angel scratched her cheek. "I'm gonna go shopping. Come on Goth." Gotham ran to Angel and leaped into her arms. Angel put him in her arms.
"Be home before dark." said Bruce.
"Yes dad." smiled Angel as she left. Gotham climbed up onto Angel's head as they walked down a busy Gotham City street. "Why did I name you after the city?" Gotham meowed down at her. Angel laughed slightly. People where walking by her when she walked by a man that had a trench coat on and a hat shielding his face. Angel stopped as the man walked by her. Angel turned and stared at him. He turned his head slightly to look at her as people walked by them both. Angel continued to stare until he disappeared into the large crowd of people.
Gotham lowered himself to Angel's shoulder and stared at Angel who looked a big scared. He meowed and pawed at her cheek making Angel look at him. "We need to hurry." said Angel grabbing him and running. The man smirked as he watched Angel run off in fear.
"How beautiful she's grown. Looks like her mother." he said. Angel ran into a store and ran to the pet area. She grabbed a pet carrier and bought it along with some toys. Angel put it in the carriage and ran to get some new clothes for tomorrow. The man walked into the store.
"What should I wear tomorrow?" asked Angel. Gotham meowed as he saw a Gotham Knights button up shirt. Angel grabbed it. "I suppose." It was black. "Should I get some black jeans to go with it?" Gotham nodded his head and meowed happily. Angel was looking for a pair of black jeans in her size when Gotham looked behind Angel and saw the man walking up behind her. Gotham hissed loudly. "Gotham calm down."
Angel pulled the jeans out and smiled happily. Angel's smile went away as she heard Gotham growling angrily. She looked at him to find him growling, his fangs showing. Angel turned and saw the man behind her. His face showing and Angel's eyes widened more as she saw Joker in front of her smiling big. Angel screamed and her eyes turned red and her heat vision shot out of her eyes and he ducked and Angel covered her eyes and fell back.
Detective. Renee Montoya was just outside when she heard the scream and she ran inside. Gotham was pawing at Angel as Angel had her eyes covered. Angel was crying as she held herself. Gotham meowed. "Get him away from me." sobbed Angel. She had seen him in her nightmares growing up and she didn't want to be face to face with him…not like this. Even if she was super powered due to the experiment, Clark had mentioned Lex working on shots that could render her useless and she was scared. Renee ran over as she saw Angel.
"Angel!" said Renee grabbing Angel's hand and she slowly removed it and saw Angel's blue eyes normal. "What happened?"
"He…he was here." whispered Angel.
"He?" asked Renee.
"Joker. He was in front of me. He was smiling down at me." whispered Angel.
"Alright. Get your stuff and I'll give you a ride home." said Renee moving hair from Angel's face.
Bruce was in the bat cave working when Alfred held out the phone to him making him stare. "Hello?" asked Bruce.
"Mr. Wayne it's Detective Montoya." said Renee.
"Detective Montoya. How can I help you?" asked Bruce.
"I'm giving Angel a ride home. She claims she saw Joker inside the store and he was staring down at her smiling." said Renee.
"What?" asked Bruce.
"She's checking out right now. I'll have her home in 20 minutes." said Renee.
"Alright thank you Detective Montoya." said Bruce before hanging up. "Alfred. Make Angel's favorite for dinner."
"Yes Master Bruce." said Alfred before walking up the stairs to do so.
Renee was driving Angel and Gotham home. It was a quiet ride aside from the noise of the car, and the soft purring coming from Gotham. Renee looked at Angel as they where just about five minutes from Wayne Manor. "You never told me why you where so scared of him." said Renee.
"I'll tell you when the time is right." said Angel.
Renee was Angel's best friend or so Angel thought. They had met when Angel was 12 and Angel wanted to be friends with her from the moment they met. Renee didn't mind her though. All Renee knew about Angel was that she was experimented on by Luthor, the whole Joker being her birth father was kept under wraps until Angel wanted to tell her. "Alright." said Renee sighing heavily.
"Renee…I tell you everything when the time is right. When have I not told you anything?" asked Angel. Renee just smiled, Angel had a point. "I got the job."
"You did?" asked Renee smiling. "You got the Arkham job?"
"Yes ma'am." said Angel smiling. "I'm gonna be a psychiatrist. I start tomorrow."
"Wonderful!" said Renee.
Alfred met Angel at the door and took her things inside. Angel laughed as she saw a plate of tacos. Her favorite dinner in the whole world. She sat down on the couch and put the plate on her lap. She bit into one and smiles. Gotham meowed and Angel looked at him and shook her head. Gotham meowed sadly. Angel sighed and handed him a chunk of hamburger meat and he ate it happily. Angel smiled as she ate. She turned the TV on and it hit the news. Nothing much. Only thing it mentioned was a cat shaped diamond being stolen.
"Alfred!" shouted Angel.
"Yes Lady Angel?" asked Alfred.
"Where's dad?" asked Angel.
"Out after Miss. Kyle." said Alfred making Angel laugh softly. She stood up and put a zombie movie in and leaned back against the couch. Alfred went to bed around midnight and Angel was still up watching zombie movies. Gotham was asleep next to her on the couch. Angel had changed into her black tank top and Gotham Knights pajama pants. Bruce walked up out of the Bat-cave entrance and heard the TV on in the living room.
He walked in and saw Angel sitting cross legged on the couch with a gummy crocodile sticking out of her mouth. It didn't even look like she was eating it, just holding it with her mouth. He sat next to her and she looked at him, the gummy croc moving. He went to pull it out of her mouth but she growled as he started to. He let it go and Angel smiled. "Are you gonna eat it?" he asked.
"No." said Angel holding it in between her teeth to speak. "I'm holding it for when I wanna eat it."
"You've got work tomorrow." said Bruce.
"I knows." said Angel.
"Also I brought Joker back to Arkham." said Bruce making Angel nod.
"Thanks." said Angel.
"No problem." He kissed her head and went to bed.
Angel bit the tail off as he left and chewed it. She had work tomorrow. She sighed. As much as she wanted the job. She was nervous about tomorrow. Angel itched her leg and laid back and chewed on her gummy croc. Angel fell asleep around 2am with Gotham laying on her stomach. The next morning it was down pouring out. It was around 7am and Angel had to work in an hour.
"Angel!" shouted Bruce running down the stairs. Angel opened her eyes and looked. "It's 7!" Angel freaked out and used her super speed to take a shower, dry herself off and get dressed. Took her five minutes. Angel heated up a taco and quickly downed it after it came out. She drank a tall glass of orange juice and handed Gotham to Alfred.
"I'm flying to work!" shouted Angel grabbing an umbrella and running down the Bat-cave. She ran leaped out of the hanger and blasted off towards Arkham Island, the umbrella open in front of her so the rain wouldn't hit her.
Dr. Penny Young was standing in the main hall of the Arkham Mansion. Angel ran to the doors and slid in. "Okay I'm here. Am I late?" asked Angel.
Penny looked at her watch and looked up at Angel. "No. You're not. So you're the new girl?" asked Penny.
"Yes ma'am." said Angel.
"Yeah this is gonna be fun." sighed Penny. "Alright. Lets start. First thing is first, which patients where you thinking about?"
"Quinn and Isley." said Angel.
"Alright. Anyone else? How about Joker?" asked Penny. She saw Angel tense up. "You okay?"
"Um…sure…I'll take him." said Angel.
"Alright I have him on certain days so you'll have him the other days I'm not here." said Penny. "Speaking of which, I have an appointment with him. Do you wish to observe?"
"Yes please." said Angel nervous.
Angel was sitting in a chair next to Penny's desk and had her notebook open. She was doodling more than listening to Penny as she talked to Aaron Cash. Penny snapped her fingers in Angel's face making Angel's eyes cross to look at them. "Pay attention. He's coming in." said Penny.
"Sorry Dr." said Angel crossing her legs.
Joker was lead in and chained to the chair in front of Penny's desk. His eyes moved and hit Angel. Angel had her head tilted down to stare at her notepad. "So pretty new doctor, what you drawing?" asked Joker. Angel closed her notebook.
"Nothing." said Angel. Joker made an impressed face and shrugged.
"How have you been Joker?" asked Penny. He was staring at Angel who was looking importable.
"I've been good. I suppose. After all Bats did drag me back in here last night." said Joker.
"Yes I was called to be informed that I would have you today." said Penny.
"What's her name?" asked Joker. Penny looked at Angel.
"Angelina Wayne." said Angel making Joker stare at her. "Dr. Wayne to you."
"Alrightie then…Dr. Wayne! You like a good joke?" he asked with a huge smile.
"No." said Angel sternly. His smile stayed though.
"What laughs like me when it's angry?" asked Joker. Angel's eyes widened. Angel was shaking her head. Penny stared at the two. "A jackal on Joker venom."
"Yeah that wasn't funny." said Angel making Joker smile at her still.
Penny and Joker continued their interview and Penny got up to go get Aaron who was waiting outside in the area in front of her office. The door closed and Joker look at Angel. "Alright. Lets be serious now." said Joker making Angel look. "My baby girl's all grown up."
"You where my world when I was five." hissed Angel standing up. Her hands on the desk. "And you sell me to Lex so he could make the perfect villain!"
"Yes. It was worth it wasn't it? You have all these powers now. Although losing you to Super dork wasn't part of the plan." said Joker.
"Selling me to Lex wasn't in my plans as a child." said Angel.
"What laughs like me when it's angry? A 17 year old girl who's questioning her sanity every day." said Joker sternly.
"You know nothing about me!" screamed Angel slamming her hands on the table and it broke in half and it made a pretty loud noise. Angel stared down at it and she looked at Joker as she heard running.
"Unhook me!" said Joker. Angel for some reason, did what he said and she was slammed in the middle of the broken table and the door opened and Penny stood there standing with Aaron and Frank Boles. Angel looked at him shocked and Joker stared down at her with a smile. Aaron and Boles grabbed him under his arms and carried him off as he laughed loudly.
"Are you okay?" asked Penny.
"I'm…I'm fine." said Angel a bit in shock. 'Why did he do that? He could've just let me get in trouble for breaking the desk.'
Penny grabbed Angel's arm and pulled her up. She dusted Angel off. "Wow…not even a scratch." said Penny.
"You're not as cold and calculating as dad said." said Angel making Penny glare at her. Angel laughed and smiled.
"How about you head home now? We can pick this up tomorrow. Be here for 0800 hours. I'm gonna have you interview Miss. Quinn." said Penny.
"Yes Ma'am." said Angel grabbing her things. She closed her back. "Oh and ma'am."
"Yes?" asked Penny turning to Angel.
"I'm glad you're my mentor." said Angel. Penny stared back at her.
"Thank you." said Penny a bit shocked.
Angel just smiled and ran off to go home. She choose to walk home, it would be about a good hour and a half before she reached the Wayne Manor gates. As Angel walked home, she wondered why Joker would actually go through the trouble of trying to protect Angel from the Arkham staff knowing about her powers. Angel sighed and twirled her open umbrella above her head as it continued to down pour. She itched just above the breast pocket and felt something sticking out of it.
She pulled the folded up paper out and unfolded it with her free hand. 'I may have sold you to Luthor but you're still my daughter. ~ J' the note read. Angel blinked down at it. Wondering… "How in the hell did he write this and when?" asked Angel staring at it.
