Chapter 3

It has been three months since I moved in with Bruce again. Sigh, I love it here...though I have this little feeling that it is not going to last much longer. I am currently in the weight room/training room, training a bit. I am beating some of the dummies in the room while Bruce is out of town, on a business trip. While, Batgirl and Robin keep on eye on things here in Gotham. Its has been quiet, way too quiet.

"Are you alright, Miss. Jaya?" I heard Alfred ask. Turning to look at him and replied, "No, I am not, I have this feeling...a feeling I have not felt in a long time Alfred." He nodded in understanding. There is one thing I neglected to mention, yeah My Dad is the Joker. I was there when he became him..I had ingested the same toxin that he fell into. As Dad landed in the toxin, some of it landed on me, also swallowing some at the same time. When it turned Dad's skin white, hair green, and his lips his crimson smile...though he already had green eyes, the toxin made them more of an electric green...if that made any sense. The toxin did something different for me. I mean completely different.

"Hey you two." Called Dick from nearby. "Hey yourself." I replied as Alfred left. "Jaya, feeling down?" Dick asked, concerned. "How do you know?" I questioned. "Bruce told me." He answered. Well there went that secret...sigh. "What did he tell you...exactly?" I asked. Dick did a quick look around, and replied quietly, "You know, the freaky creature from a month and a half ago."

My eyes went wide...Bruce told him!? Awe man, I can not let anyone else know. "Hey, calm down, I only know, because I tried to hurt you badly, but Bruce stopped me. I demanded to tell me why...he told me in the Bat cave. I am sorry." Dick respond before I did anything rash.

I looked from him in embarrassment, I hate what happened to me, even though I was just a small kid. Let me just say, I am slightly better looking than Killer Croc. My colorings are of what my Dad has as Joker. Bit of creepiness on my end. I also have wings, tail, and a muzzle that is similar to a horse's, but with sharp teeth.

"You ok? I don't mean to be offensive about it." Dick stated with worry. "Yeah, I did ask Bruce to not to tell anyone." I mumbled. "That is what he said, Bruce also told me, that if you were in control..you would not attack, but more like flee." Dick continued. I looked at him, laughed a little, smiled a bit and replied, "Yeah I would do that...I would run when I am in control...though when enraged...not so much...I don't know what I would do if I had hurt anyone...did I?"

Dick shook his head and said, "No, Bruce and I were there first, he knocked you out before you went berserk on us. I was shocked that he brought you to the Bat cave...that is when he told me."

"After did you see me change back to a recognizable form?" I asked him with some curiosity. He nods as he was blushing and replied, "Yeah, though I turned around...you were in your birthday suit." I did too, and cleared my throat and said, "I see..."

The phone rang, Dick left to answer it. I looked outside of the training room. I heard Dick shout at the phone. I ran to him and asked, "What's wrong Dick?!" He waved his hand at me to shut up, as he continued to listen. After a few more agonizing minutes he hanged up, and wiped his face with his right hand. Nervously I asked, "Dick, what's wrong?" He looked at me as he thought, then he answered, "Bruce was coming home early to surprise you. But he just been in an accident on the way home. Someone hit the car he was driving, and Bruce is in the emergency room"

Pure shock spread through my body as soon as I heard the news about Bruce. "No! Dick take me to him!" Dick nodded and said, "Get ready we will leave in a few minutes."

After getting ready Dick and I left the manor and headed to the hospital where Bruce was currently getting treatment. As soon as we arrived, there was news cameras and reporters everywhere. Talking about how Bruce was hit and all. Dick was able to sneak us inside without being seen. After a nice argument with the nurses, Dick and I was able to see Bruce.

There was the strong man that I had grew to love, laying helpless, and unconscious. Seeing all the plugs, wires and what not connected to him. Keeping him alive till he can do it himself. The doctors believe he may or may not make it through the night. I pray he does, I love him so. Man I am crying like a baby. Dick left to let Barbra know about Bruce and patrol the streets...or more like to look for the idiot that hurt our friend/lover.

"Oh Bruce...sniff...please get better..please...I love you..." I whispered like a sad little girl. Suddenly I hear a commotion down the hall. I got up from sitting by Bruce's bed, peeking out the door. Coming up to the door was Two-Face...wait what is he doing here? I backed up and stood in front of Bruce's bed in a fighting stance, waiting for Ugly-face to show.

Ugly-Face did, slamming the door open and states, "Bruce...oh? Jaya what are you doing here little girl?" After Ugly-face seeing me. I growled and replied, "I was about to say the same, why are you here?"

"I am here for Bruce." He replied with a twisted smile, holding his two guns. Thinking real quick, "Why?" I asked. "To kill him, why else?" Was my answer from Ugly-Face. I took a quick look at Bruce, deciding that I should get Two-Face out of here without anyone else getting hurt. "I have a better idea. Joker kicked me out, I know some of his secrets. I could be useful...If you let me go with you, without killing Bruce Wayne." I offered.

Watching Two-Face's expression, seeing he was surprised. "Hmm...take you gain the info of one of my rivals, but for the exchange of not killing a rich boy...Hmmm..." He thought out loud. I saw he made his decision. "Come Jaya, I will leave the rich boy alone, as long you come with me...willingly." Two-Face agreed. I nodded, taking my last look at Bruce, and silently said to Bruce, 'I love you, Bruce...Please get better...and soon!' I willing left the room with Two-Face to keep Bruce safe.

Three months later, I am in a prison like cell...hehe..I refused to tell Two-Face anything. Even though I said I would. I am not going to betray my father nor will I betray Bruce. My cell was six feet by six feet. A small cot for a bed, rags for clothes and blankets. 'I hope Bruce is better, I miss him...I also hope dad is ok as well.' I thought to myself. All these months, Two-Face abused me, by hitting me, slapping me, torturing me, and almost everything else. He was a gentlemen though, never once touched me inappropriately. I did asked that once, and his reply was 'There is no honor with that.'

I sighed, I know I could transform, but I don't want to. I will not be able to control myself very well in that form. So, I am stuck here, in this small, stinky room. I hear gun shots, feet stomping, yelling and what not. 'What the hell going on?' I thought. Suddenly, the door opens, light was very bright, making me curl into a ball to block out the blinding light. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a familiar voice saying, "I've found you, Jaya." One thing I did was to faint, why? I do not know.

Waking to fast hitting air upon my face, accompanied by laughter. I felt like I was being held. I heard, "Faster Harley! Get us outta here!" Huh? Wait...what? I opened my eyes, I was staring at a purple suit with a green tie. I looked up and I see my dad...wait...my DAD!

One thing came to mind was, "DADDY!" I yelled as I hugged him, relieved that it was him who save me, from the evil Two-Face ugly idiot. I nuzzled Dad's chest, not paying attention, to his reaction of me calling him 'DADDY'

Harley did though, not saying a word, just kept driving, getting us away fast as she could make the car go. I then realized that I was in Dad's lap, I don't care, Dad saved me. I felt him pat my back, and rubbed it. "Jaya, we need to talk when we get home." I heard him say. Slowly I nodded, but did not let go of him. I was still shaken over what has happened the past three months. I wanted my Daddy, and at this moment, I don't care about anything else.

After awhile, Harley, had lost Two-Face, and we were back at Dad's hide out. Dad carried me inside, my mind was going overdrive, I left the conscience world, in other words everything went black...yet again.

Sometime later, I woke up on the couch, with Dad asleep on the arm chair. I hear Harley humming while cleaning somewhere. I groaned as I sat up, feeling like I was hit by a freight train. "Careful, Jaya." I heard Harley say. I looked toward her and asked, "How long was I out for?" She smiled and replied, "Since last night...Mr. J has been by you all night." My eyes widened and I asked her, "Really? Um...Did I call him Daddy last night?" Harley giggled, and replied, "Yeah you did...uh...Mr. J stared at you with a surprised expression. Even more so, when you had fainted on him." I shook my head, seeing a cup of water in front of me. "Thank you Harley." I said before drinking it down.

We hear Dad groan, waking up, I hear Harley say, "I am going to fix some coffee." She then left to the kitchen. I looked at Dad, as he woke up, I stated out loud, "Good morning, sleepy head." Startled, he looked at me for a moment, he smiled widely, and replied, "Good morning to you too, Jaya."

"Harley left to make some coffee...I believe we need to talk." I stated, as I sat my empty water glass down on the coffee table. "Yes we do...first off, I want to say I am sorry...about kicking you out." Dad replied, looking a bit down. "Its ok, I guess you were having a bad day." I stated, with a small smile. "Last night, you called me 'Daddy' why?" Dad asked with curiousness. Sighing, I replied, "Because you are my Dad...I was there when you had that accident that made you Joker."

I look at him, who was looking like he swallowed something he shouldn't. 'I knew he would not believe me.' I thought to myself. He confirmed it with, "Hahaha! A good one, nope I do not have kids." I gave him look of seriousness, and stated, "I am, I also knew you would not believe me..." I sighed after talking. He was about to say something, but Harley came in with a tray of coffee. "Ok you two here is your coffee." She announced. We drank our coffee in pure silence. I got up after I finished mine. "Where you going?" I heard dad ask. "No where, just to the kitchen." I replied.

'I can't believe it...I...I told him...I had hoped he would at least remembered me...a little bit at least.' I thought as I felt tears slide down my face. I was leaning against the sink, letting the tears fall. 'I need to go...I want to see Bruce...Need to be comforted by him...if he is ok.' I thought to myself. "You ok, Jaya?" I heard Harley asked with concern laced in her voice. "No...I am not, Harley...I would like to go...He does not believe me." I quietly replied. I felt her pat my shoulder, and replied, "You know, I was the same way. About not believing you." I smiled slightly, but then frowned. Shaking my head I said, "I have to go..." Harley nodded and said, "I will take you." She left to talk to Dad for a minute. Closing my eyes, then opening them to see Harley come back with Dad.

"You my dear are not going anywhere." Dad stated, or more like ordered. "You must have breakfast first!" He continued as he started to chuckle.

After breakfast, Harley dropped me off at a cafe. From there, I called the Wayne Manor, surprising Alfred who, said that he would pick me up. After Alfred arrived to take me back to the manor, he said, "You will be in for a sad surprise, Jaya...just warning you about it." I was confused, but I replied, "What do you mean?" Alfred did not answered, instead pulled into the park space.

I got out and went inside the manor, I saw Dick. "Dick! I am back!" I called. Dick turned, I saw the look of relief, he ran to me and gave me a hug. "Come we need to talk before you see Bruce." Still being confused but let Dick take me to a random room. "What's wrong? What is going on?" I asked, a little bit scared. "Is it about Bruce?" I asked him, or begged him. "He...he does not remember you, Jaya...nor does he remember training you...and falling in love with you..." Dick answered, with some sadness.

My eyes widened, tears forming, shock was there. "W-what? No, he can't" I cried out, as Dick held me. I cried as Dick patted my back. "Jaya, please calm down...Bruce is in the Bat cave...he does remember he is Batman, and all...but he does not remember you...I just don't know why." I hear Dick say. I stopped crying, turned to sniffles, and I demanded, "Take me to Bruce, please take me to him! I need to see for myself! Please Dick!" He nodded and escorted me to where Bruce was.

After a few minutes we are in the Bat cave, sitting at the main computer, was none other than Bruce. He was not wearing his Batman suit, no more like he was wearing a regular business suit. "Bruce, I found someone, who knows you...and already knows about you being Batman." Dick stated to Bruce in his I am not going to argue with you tone.

Bruce turned around quickly and replied, "Another one? How many know!? About Batman and me? Now who are you...again?" I sighed and replied, "I am Jaya...you have trained me to defend myself, because of the fact I needed the help..we had slowly formed a tight bond...slowly, we fell in love."

Bruce looked at me sternly and asked, "Where were you when I awoke three weeks ago?" That question stung. I replied, "The same night the doctors believed that you may not make it past the night. Two-Face showed up. He wanted to kill a rich boy...you were unable to defend yourself...I gave him an option. I said to take me instead, and leave you alone...I was his prisoner till last night...You would not believe me on who the person was who had saved me."

Bruce looked at me in disbelief, and stated, "I do not remember you...I am sorry." I shook my head and said, "No, Bruce I am sorry...I was not there when you needed me." I felt like my whole world had just blown up into small bits of pieces. I stepped from Dick and Bruce and said, "I am going to be in the training room for awhile.." With that, I walked fast to almost running. I did not want to be around anyone at that particular moment.

It was around dinner time when someone showed up. I was hitting the training dummies really hard. I believe Bruce needs to order new ones, and soon; from how I was hitting them. I felt a hand on my right shoulder, instinct took over, I grabbed the hand, pulling down, bringing the person over my shoulder, down on the floor. I quickly, got on the person's back and said, "Do not sneak on me, Bruce, you have always told me to be ready for anything." I heard him groan, and replied, "I believe now that I have trained you." Helping him up, seeing that he was in his training clothes. "Hmm...I have a feeling you want to be sure that you were the one that trained me huh?" I asked.

Bruce smiled and replied, "Yes, or more like to see where you stand." I chuckled a bit and said, "Bring it on, Bruce! Do not hold back! I can take it!" Going into my stance, waiting for Bruce to answer.

Meanwhile, in Joker's Point of View

It has been a week since I have seen Jaya. I am still not believing a word she says about me being her Dad. 'Yeah right!' I thought. I hear my sweetheart in the kitchen busy as always. I looked out the window, seeing it rain. "I hate rainy days." I grumbled. Harley walked in with some coffee and said, "Puddin' there is a problem. Some one is poking around in the Toxin room!" I looked at Harley, standing without touching my coffee, and said, "Well, Harley girl, let's go and find out." She squeals as she grabbed her purse.

After getting to the toxin room, doing a bit of looking around. We could not find anything or anybody. "Well no one is here." I amused out loud. Next thing I knew, I was kicked in my ass, and was thrown into an electrified gate. I blacked out, while hearing Harley, beat up the one who had kicked me.

Joker's Flashback

I was floating in darkness till a flash of light. I was standing by a hospital bed, holding a small, tiny bundle...a BABY! I looked at the baby, and hear, 'There is your baby girl! What are you going to name her?'

The room faded to gray skies, instead of looking at a hospital bed, I was looking at a gravestone. I was holding a small hand of a toddler. The gravestone's writing was smudged.

The gray skies, turned to a dark odd looking room with a bunch of pots full of odd liquids. Running around me was a little girl, with brown hair, with amber highlights. Her little eyes were the color of blue. The little girl was wearing, a small dress that matched my suit. All the boy's know she was my little baby girl, or Little Bit.

I chuckled and said, "Hey Little Bit, be careful, this place will hurt you!" Little Bit giggled and replied sweetly, "Yes, Daddy!" She ran up to me, raised her arms up. I picked her up and said, "Yes Jaya?" She giggled, and said, "I wanted to be with you Daddy. To say hi to the meanie!" I smiled and said, "Oh sweetheart, the big meanie would hurt you. As I, your Daddy won't let that happen." Walking up to us was one of my body guards who said, "We are ready Boss." I nodded and said, "Good." I put Little Bit down and said, "Wait here by these pots, Jaya. Daddy will be right back."

"Okay Daddy!" She replied smiling, running around the large pots of toxins, playing with her toys.

The scene changed to when I was punched by some guy dressed like a bat. Falling into one of the pots of toxin. I heard my little girl yell in terror and pain. I swam up and see my baby girl changing in front of me into a large dog size, freaky creature. I saw my reflection, and I did not look like myself anymore, my skin was white, my eyes were brighter green, and my lips were the color and shape of a crimson smile.

End Joker's flashback

Sitting up abruptly, yelling out, "NO JAYA!" I was breathing hard. "Mr. J!" I heard Harley call out. I rubbed my face with my right hand, and said, "I need to find her...I have to tell her...I remember." Harley smiled and hugged me. "What happened, Harley, what happened, what jump started my memory?" I asked her, as she pulled away. "A random lackey, who kicked you into the electrified fence...you blacked out. I kicked the lackey's ass, knocking him out, and then put him into the pit." Harley replied.

"I think I had a really big flashback...to when I became what I am...I remember...Jaya...s-she's my daughter...we have to find her!" I said with some crazy panic I am known for. I was being pushed down instead, by Jake the body guard.
