Hi my name is Nevermore8 and I have had this little story line rolling around my head for years now. Enjoy.
"My name is Lucille Napier, daughter of Jack and Alicia Napier."
A young girl is there smiling with her parents. She has long Black hair like her father and green eyes like her mother.
"My mother died when I was eight years old, leaving me my dad to look over me."
A car is destroyed, and Alicia's body is covered with the bodybag.
"I learned to cope, but my dad didn't"
Her dad is seen staring blankly during his wife's funeral.
"He would disappear at night, but he would be back in the morning to tell me goodbye before school."
Her father is just coming through the door and sitting down on the couch when Lucille runs in to catch the bus.
"It was surprising one day when he never came home."
Lucille is looking around yelling for her father that morning. The scene changes to Jack being pushed back into some chemicals.
"I waited until the food and money ran out, then I left. He was never coming back."
Lucille looks to see there is no more money in her wallet, checks the pantry, then walks out the door.
"That was five years ago. I've been on the street since doing 'Small Jobs' like pickpocketing and breaking into cars. That's where I got into trouble with gangs that my father had gotten into debts with."
Two guys are holding her to the wall while a boss punches her in the face. He gets closer and taunts her saying," Where's daddy with his money? I bet he would come running if he heard you scream. Will you scream for us?"
She snarls and fights with the men holding her to the wall finally talking," You're about five years late. My dad… he's gone. I haven't seen him since he promised me he would come back after a job in the chemical plant. If I knew where he was I'd kill him myself." She ends her speech by spitting in his face. Before he can do anything else a figure dressed in black drops down on the mob boss
"Little did I know, meeting the 'Dark Knight of Gotham' would be the least of my problems. It would be living with him."
Lucille is dropped off at Wayne Manor by the Batmobile with a letter to Alfred. She is welcomed in, but quickly says to Bruce and Alfred," I'll be getting out of you hair soon, I just learned that I have about two thousand dollars from my parents. I'll be getting it at the Gotham City Bank then using part of it to take a train to Tennessee where my aunt and uncle live. I finally tracked them down there."
"What I didn't know was that fate would have me meet the newer version of my father, The Clown Prince Of Crime."
Lucille has just gotten the will and the money when an explosion rocks the building, and the Joker walks in yelling the usual," ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTELMEN, I WANT EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR!" She stares in horror but goes on the floor. As one of the thugs grab her money she yells back," NO, please that's all I have left from my parents, that's all I have left."
Joker walks over and glares at the yelling child," I don't think you want to die just yet," He leans down to her level," So just hand over the money NOW!"
Lucille looks into his eyes hatred running in them but looks at his and it clicks. The scene changes from his green eyes, to the picture of Her father. Joker takes the money and leaves. Five minutes later Batman arrives too late.
"It only took one glance to know, Jack Napier was the Joker. My dad had threatened my life and stolen my inheritance."
Lucille runs to Wayne Manor sobbing, quickly knocking on the door.
"Bruce, BRUCE, I need to know, who is the Joker!"
"Lucille I know that he stole your money, but getting it back yourself would be dangerous. Please, just let the authorities catch him." Bruce says sadly.
"It, it's not that, He. Is. My. Father! I'd know those eyes anywhere. They're my green eyes, it was like looking in a mirror, a twisted, insane, fun-house mirror."
"It took a fifteen year old girl to figure out who the Joker is, but he was going to find out at the same time."
The Joker pours the money out of the bag to find a letter with a picture the letter reads,
My Dear Lucille,
I am sorry to write this because it means I have passed away leaving you no one else here in Gotham. Ever since Alicia died I know I haven't been the best dad. But I am going to make up for it with this amount of money. I promise you that tonight will be the last night that I will be working for the mob. I am going to pay off the last of our debt then we will leave. I promise you that I will tell you everything when you are older. If I don't come back, then I promise you I died thinking of you. Please, remember that I love you, and I will be there to make you laugh one day.
Your Loving Father,
Jack Napier
The picture falls out to show Jack, Alicia, and Lucille laughing at the circus in Gotham. The Joker's eyes widen and laughs happily," Haha, I found my littlt Lucy!"
"Because of that day, I just might not survive living in Gotham, but I will not leave without talking to my father."
A/N So how do you like it? To get the next chapter I need at least one review okay. R/R!
