The Adventures of Barbara Gordon and the Joker
Chapter 3Barbra
I started to feel the sleeping gas wear off. As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw how bright the grass was and knew that I was no longer in my apartment. I looked up and saw a bright and colorful rainbow and Joker dancing up to me with a handful of flowers. I pulled away from him.
"Awww Babs, I picked these flowers just for you," he said with that stupid fake grin on his face.
"Well, I don't want any thanks!"
He frowned and set the flowers beside me anyways. He bent down to me so that we were face to face. "What am I doing here Joker!" I demanded.
"You passed out, and I didn't think it was safe for you to be home alone while you were passed out like that. Who knows who could have come in on you?" He laughed with that stupid grin on his face; I returned it with a frown. I looked around but my chair was no where to be found. If I wanted to get out of here, where ever "here" was, I was going to have to do it on my own.
"So, where's my chair at Joker?"
"Silly, I couldn't carry you and the chair too. I left it at your house for safe keeping. You won't need that chair here anyways."
"I won't need it? And why's that Joker?"
"Because, I'll be helping you get around here," he said in a mocking way. "Now come on, I have a ride for us," he says grabbing my wrists and dragging me along with him. My face, arms, and legs were getting cuts and scratches on them from being dragged face first on the ground, when he finally stopped.
I managed to look up, and what I saw shocked me. I figured I had to be imagining it, but we had stopped at the end of the rainbow and there was a unicorn standing there. Joker let go of my arms and I rubbed my eyes fiercely; I had to be imagining it. It was a beautiful white horse with a purple mane, and had a long pink horn on its forehead.
"Isn't she nice? Harley calls her Glitter." He laughed and I shook my head, I had to be dreaming. "You can pet her if you like, even ride her if you want, but you can't feed her any of the skittles. They belong to the leprechaun that guards them." His loud laugh echoed in my ears as I looked up at him confused, I really had to be dreaming.
"Leprechaun? Skittles? Glitter?" I was too confused.
"Yes, the leprechaun is over by the corner of the rainbow protecting his pot of skittles." Joker laughed again, only louder this time.
I looked around Joker to see this so called "leprechaun" and was shocked at what I saw. Chained to the big, black, cauldron was Damian in his mask and a leprechaun outfit, no bat belt in sight.
"Saw my leprechaun roaming around outside. He was just the right size, so I brought him here to guard his skittles. I locked up all of his "goodies." After all, if he had those he could get away, and then he wouldn't be guarding his pot of skittles. Don't worry, I never removed the little leprechaun's mask. Now, how about a ride bestest buddie?"
"Gordon, what are you doing her," Damian demanded!
"Same freakin' thing you are doing, being a freakin' captive!" I yelled back at him. Joker put himself between the two of us and smiled.
"Now, now, no fighting, this is a place of fun!" Hr looked down at his wrist, the batcom was tied there, and frowned. "Seems your bat friends are looking for you." He sighed and walked over to Damian. Damian pulled at the cuffs holding him to the pot.
"Get away from me clown or I'll rip that smile off your face!" Damian yelled at him launching at Joker. Joker mad a fist and punched Damian in the face. Damian fell down, his nose bleeding a bit. He bounced back up and head butted Joker in the stomach. Joker fell down and then got back up and pointed his flower at Damian's face, which was headed back for Joker stomach again. A purple smoke came out and hit Damian's face and he fell down and was out cold. Joker sighed.
"He should not have been such a violent little leprechaun. I was hoping you and I could spend a little more time together Babs, but it seems I have to share you with your other friends too and the bats are looking for you." He sighed again and pointed his flower at me.
"N..." I started to say as purple smoke came out and everything went dark again and I was out cold.

As Babs woke up I smiled. I held the flowers out for her to see. I just knew she'd love them. I danced up to her and held the flowers out for her, but she pulled away.
"I picked these flowers just for you, my best friend Babs!" I smiled sweetly at her.
"Well, I DO NOT want them! I don't want anything from YOU!"
I frowned at her. I had picked all these nice flowers for her and she didn't want them. I sat them down next to her and bent down so I could be eye level with her.
"What am I doing here Joker," she demanded with a frown.
"Well, you passed out at your house, and it was not safe to leave you there alone. Who knows who might have walked in on you in that state? I was protecting you." I smiled at her, but she returned it with a frown. She looked around as if searching for something.
"Where's my chair Joker?"
"Oh, you won't need that silly chair here. I am going to help you get around." I smiled excited to show her the big surprise I had. I grabbed her hands and ran to where it was hidden. I knew she'd just love it. When we got there I stopped and looked at Babs. She was now covered in red from something or other, but red was a good color on her. She looked up and her face changed anger to shock. I figured she would be, after all, not that many people had a unicorn with a purple mane and tail and a pink horn. I smiled.
"Isn't she pretty? Harley calls her Glitter. You can pet her if you like. You can ride her too, if you want. Just don't feed her the skittles, those belong to the leprechaun that guards them."
"Leprechaun? Skittles? Glitter?" She looked confused. I smiled at her.
I'd found Batsey's newest bird boy roaming around outside. I couldn't risk him finding my hideout so I took him and took his belt and dressed him up as a leprechaun and chained him to my big black pot of skittles so he could guard them and not tip off Batsey and tell him where I was hiding. If he did that, Then Babs and I would not get to spend time together. She looked confused so I moved to the side so she could see my little leprechaun. She looked shocked.
"I found my leprechaun, and he was just the right size, so I dressed him up and brought him here to guard the skittles. Don't worry, I didn't look under his mask. I want Batsey's mask, not his little bird boy's masks. Now how about a ride on Glitter, bestest buddie?"
My leprechaun looked really cross. "What are you doing here Gordon!"
"Same FREAKIN' thing you are," she said forcefully. "Bein' a FREAKIN' captive!" I stood between them. I did not want them to be fighting in this place.
"Now, now, No fighting here. We are suppose to be having fun." Then I herd on the batcom about the search for Robin and Babs, "Oracle" as they called her, and I frowned. "Seems your bat friends are looking for you." I sighed, moving over to free my bird boy leprechaun. He pulled at his restraints forcefully.
"Stay away from me clown, or I'll tear that grin off your face!" He yelled lunching himself at me. I pulled my fist up and punched him in self defense. The boy fell, but sprung right back up, despite the blood that was now running down his nose. He head butted me in my stomach knocking me down. I got back up and frowned, looking at the boy who was about to charge again. I pulled my flower out and sprayed him, allowing him to sleep. I would have to return him home because they were looking for him.
"Seems I have to share you with your outer friends Babs," I sighed. "I was hoping to have more time with you." I sprayed her with the flower too.
"N..." but she was out cold. I took the leprechaun, and his bird boy belt and costume, and dropped him off on a roof top that the bats always used to look over the city. After that, I took Babs back home and carefully set her in her bed.
"So long Babs, its been fun," and then I took off knowing Nightwing or Bats one would find her there and safe.
