And somewhere, a plan is set in motion that will rock the Titans internally.
STAR labs, 2025.
"Come on, uncle Victor will be here soon!" The black haired girl yelled, her companions ran up to her,
"Calm down Mar'i,, we know." The grey skinned female said. But the girl call Mar'i waved her off. "That's what you always say."
The alarms sounded and the trio sped toward their destination, the time room.
As they powered it up, a voice rang out in the room.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" The voice said.
"Oh shit, it's unlce Vic-" Mar'i began.
"Watch your language young lady, and answer the question." The former Cyborg said sternly.
"I'm going back to 2013 to find out what Ma and Pa are hiding from me." Mar'i said spitefully. And to her surprise, Victor started to laugh.
"Oh man, I knew this day was coming, I can't stop you, 'cos I remember meeting you all." He said, to the blank looks on the trios faces.
"Get going, before I change history." He smirked as he turned his back on them and left the room.
"Well. That went well." The bronze skinned male said.
"Shut it Orinoko." Mar'i said as she powered up the machine.
"Shall we?"
And it went black.
PRESENT DAY
"HAR-LEY! WHERES MY JOKER GRENADES? HAR-LEY!" The Clown prince of crime yelled.
" I am afraid Harley isn't going to answer you, ever again." A cybernetic voice droned.
"WHAT? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HARLEY? ONLY I CAN BEAT HER SENSELESS!"
"You really want to try me, Jack?" The voice continued.
"How did you..."
"Very simple, I read your Justice League file, I must say, I thought you would've known.
The Joker had had enough, and took out a knife and ran toward the voice and tried to slash at it.
The owner of the voice caught the knife arm, and dug his nails into his wrist, drawing blood. He followed this with a sharp kick to the ribs, breaking three. He followed this with a punch to the nose, breaking this.
He then dropped him on the ground.
"I shall let you live, and perhaps your Harley, if you can get help." The owner of the voice rocketed skyward. The Joker crawled toward Harleys body and stared at the state of it, even he found this disturbing.
Her forearms were snapped the wrong way, most of her ribs were broken, her leg bones were snapped and wee jutting out of her body, her jaw was dislocated and bloodied and a few bones in her neck were clearly broken.
"Pu..ddin'.." Was all she could manage. A shadow fell upon the pair of them.
"It's over Joker, you've harmed the only one that cared for you existence, and look what you've done." The Batman said
"It wasn't me Batsy!"
"Riiiight, so who?"
One week later
"Dude, it's sooo early, why did you wake us up?" Beast boy yawned.
"Because Batman has called us to help him in Gotham." Robin said bluntly.
"Why? What does the famous Batman need us for?" Raven deadpanned, not looking up from her book.
" Something attacked Harley Quinn. Badly."
"Why should we care, she's with that psycho clown. Why on earth should we care?"
Robin's face darkened and he showed them the picture of her body.
"That is why." He said to the look of horror on their faces. "Whatever did this to her, is still out there, Killer croc and Ragdoll have already turned themselves in, for no reason at all, Joker was in a bad way too."
"So, we are going to Gotham then?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah, and I may as well tell you. I'm Dick Grayson, and Batman is.."
"Bruce Wayne" Raven finished.
"Yes."
"So, this sounds like that Rumour bloke I've heard about." Beast Boy said.
"Rumour has been dead for two years now." Robin said.
'Oh."
"You have two hours before we leave. Go back your bags, you'll need civilian clothes. No excuses. Oh, and formalwear."
One hour later.
"Robin, can I ask something?" Starfire asked.
"Go on."
"Do you think the Batman knows about us?"
"Honestly, I don't. Nor do I care."
Starfire smiled, and pulled him in close and kissed him passionately.
Somewhere, in a hotel in Gotham, the cloth-like metal clothed person called Soul hacked into the Hospital security camera system. He looked at Harley Quinns room and pouted.
"She's still alive. What a shame."
So there you go, and start to the story, more Batsy next time, and vote in the review to whether Harley will make it or not.
Until whenever,
Cult'r.
