Chapter 4

Jaya P.O.V.

It has been almost two months since I saw my Dad last. These two months...were of heartache...Bruce still does not remember me or our love. It brings tears of my eyes in thinking of it. I do not believe he is trying...I am though!

Looking outside of the training room, because of the fact Bruce is not trying to remember, I started to drift from him. I can't handle any more of this...I just can't. I heard a light knock at the door as I shook my head. I looked over to the door, and seeing Barbara who is in her training out fit, she then asked, "Hey Jaya...are you alright? I heard you stop training...or destroying the dummies."

I huffed a bit, and replied with a pained tone, "No I am not, Barbara...I...I can't take much more of bad news...I...I just can't." I shook my head, and rubbed my arms, as I thought to the time where I should have been with him, instead of joining Dad's crew. "I am truly sorry, Jaya." Barbara sympathized.

I know I am going to regret asking this but, "So, where is Bruce...anyway?" Looking at Barbara's expression said enough, but she replied, "He and Dick is still at the party." I growled low as I could in my humanoid form.

"Jaya, temper please! We cannot lose the 'NEW' training room again!" We hear Alfred over the P.A. System, who indeed was scolding me.

I looked toward Barbara, while she looked at me. We, as in both had the same exact expression, 'HOW DOES HE DO THAT?'

Shaking my head and then asked, "Barbara...care to spar?" She smiled and said, "I would love to!"

After an hour of sparing, talking, doing girl things. We were ending the time by finishing a random movie. Barbara and I were just cleaning up when we hear, Bruce coming in. He came home with a guest...but no not just any guest...but a women guest.

The women guest had blond hair, a tan, blue eyes. She was wearing a white topless gown. Yep, he brought home a women. I felt the searing hot betrayal burning throughout my body, going to my heart. I lost him...I had lost Bruce...Forever.

"Hello I am Jenicia." The evil lying bitch greeted rather too sweetly. I abruptly stood up, and replied with my cold as ice tone, "Hello Bruce...who did you bring home...THIS TIME!" I had of course growled the last two words out. Bruce, who was watching the exchange replied, "This is Jenicia, the women who owns the company that wants to merge with Wayne Enterprises."

My eyes narrowed as I thought, 'More like a home-wrecker, and someone who wants a fling.' "I can see that I have, made your daughter upset." Jenicia stated, purposely calling me Bruce's daughter, instead. "I am not his daughter lady." I stated rather rudely.

Deciding that I should leave the room, I left to the training room...I like that room don't I? Anyway, I believe that Barbara followed me, not to sure. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked, and it was Dick. "I am sorry, Jaya...I did asked him not to bring her." He apologized. "I know you are, Dick...but I do not think I should stay here...much longer...it's killing me inside." I whispered in heartache. Dick nodded and said, "Where would you go?"

Yeah where would I go? "Why not find your Dad and stay with him for awhile." We hear Barbara state as she walked into the room. "I don't know...he was not really happy with me...or more like he laughed at me...about it." I replied. "I think you should...maybe in his mind, he could help you...till Bruce either gets his memory of you two...or till we know that Bruce doesn't truly remember." Dick stated, as waved his hands around.

I sighed and thought, 'They are right...I guess a nice vacation from the loving heartache would help...maybe...I could get to know my Dad a bit better. Even if he does not believe me.' Looking at them, and said, "Alright, I will go stay with my Dad...though how are we going to tell Bruce?"

The two smiled and they replied, "Leave that to us." I smiled in reply, and motioned for them to help me pack.

It has been a week since I left, finding Dad and Harley was a bit more difficult than I had believed. Should have let Dick and Barbara, find them first. I am walking around in the beat up part of town. I had decided to live in one of the apartments nearby, and Alfred told me not to worry about the rent. I am very thankful for that.

I found the old hide out, where I was, my first meeting with Dad. I smiled a bit, till I heard, "Hey Toots! Wanna go and get a drink"? I heard a random man asked me. I given him a disgusted look and replied, "No, no thank you." The man thought I said 'Yes' grabbed my arm, tightly, my instant reaction was to twist my arm, knee him in the gut, then drop down and proceeded to kick his legs out from under him. "If a woman says NO, she means NO!" I growled out and walked into the old hide out, slamming the door on the dazed and confused man.

I sighed as I noticed the place was a complete mess. I whistled and thought out loud, "What the hell happened here?" All of the furniture were turned over, paper's spread out everywhere you look. The place looked like someone had sacked it. 'Apparently, I am going to have to sniff them out.' I thought dryly. "You know you are trespassing, lady." I heard a familiar voice. I quickly turn around, and I saw, Jake. My eyes widened and I yelled out, "Jake!" I then preceded to tackle hug the man, who in turn, returned it.

We started to laugh, "Hey now Boss, where have you been?!" He asked as soon as we started to settle down from our laughter. I chuckled a bit and replied, "I have been around...Have you seen Joker?" He looked like he was hit by a truck, and he stated, "Why do you really want to know?" I know, I have not told him about Joker being my Dad...as of yet. "Jake, he is my Father." I stated, with some nervousness. He stared at me for a moment and then said, "Well that explained a lot."

"What do you mean by that?" I demanded. Jake just laughed and replied as he calmed down, "That! Your manners are similar. There were moments that you almost acted like Joker."

I blinked in surprise, 'I sometimes act like Dad?' I thought. "Jaya, there were times when you scared some of the boys in the same why Joker does...some of them believed that you might be related to Joker." Jake continued, whiled he smiled. "Why did you not said this sooner, Jake." I asked, dumbfounded. "Well...I did not want to upset you...you know..." He replied as he rubbed the back of his head.

"So, where is Joker...and Harley?" I asked Jake again. He looked at me for a moment and replied, "After this place got sacked, they disappeared. Sorry don't know where they disappeared to, did you check the other places." I nodded and said, "I have already been there...the two were not there." Suddenly, we hear soft, weak, whining barks and yeps. I looked around and what I saw made me almost see red. There, hogtied in the corner were my Dad and Harley's baby boys, the Hyenas. I whined and ran to them and talked, "Oh my brothers! Let me get those off of you!"

The two whined as I got the bindings off of them. As soon as they were free, the Hyenas tackled me and started to give me kisses. I laughed as they did, I finally pushed them off of me, and I say, "I am very happy to see you too!" I heard Jake laugh at the scene, I looked at him, and said, "Go and get their walking gear, Jake...these two will help us with finding Dad and Harley!" The Hyenas whined in sadness when I said the names. I petted them, and said in my baby boo tone, "Its okay, little brothers, we will find them...you two know their scent...so, I will need your help."

The Hyenas yipped and yapped in happiness to help, and jump up and down silly. I laughed at their antics. "Here you go Boss." Jake stated as he handed me the walking gear.

About an hour later of finally calming the Hyenas down, the gear was on, and we four were off. The Hyenas found Harley's scent first, and went straight for her. She was being held up by a random wanna be thug. The Hyenas pulled at the gear while growling dangerously low , as I said to the idiot, "Get your fuckin' Hands OFF OF MY MOM!" The thug turned around seeing me, Jake and the pissed off Hyenas. A very beaten up Harley, who was behind the thug, could not even see us, her eyes were swollen almost shut.

The thug replied, "What do you mean MOM? She don't have kids!" That was it, I said one word as I let my little brothers go, "Fetch.." Did not need to be told twice, the Hyenas took off at their high speed after the fleeing thug. As they went after the thug, I ran to Harley, I noticed that she was hanging a few feet off the ground by a rope around her middle. "Harley!" I had tears in my eyes as I looked up at her. Jake was able to help me get her down to safety. We gently laid her down, I have her head in my lap. "Harley? Harley? Come on, please say something!?" I whispered to her. She did not move to talk, only to moan in pain. I looked at Jake and said, "Get a car, we are taking her to my place." Jake nodded and called his brother for a car.

As soon as the car arrived, the Hyenas were back with their chew toy. We stuffed them in the back with my little brothers sitting on either side of him. I sat facing them, as Jake and Jim were sitting in the front seat. About forty-five minutes later, we were at my place...or apartment. The landlord was not too happy with the Hyenas being there, but when her eldest child saw them, she couldn't say no.

We finally reached my apartment, and went in. I let loose the brothers, who went around sniffing the place. I pointed to my room, and Jake went in there, and he gently laid Harley in my bed, so I can take care of her wounds. Jim on the other hand found my bathroom, as he taken the thug into the bathroom for a little talk. "Jake go and help your brother...I need to know what is going on...Any news, be bad or good tell me PRONTO!" I told Jake, who nodded and left so I could tend to Harley.

After tending Harley, she is now cleaned, bandaged, and dressed in one of my soft pajamas. I left her there for a moment to check on the twin's progress with the thug. I walked to where my safe was, between the kitchen and the bedroom. I took out two gas masks, and a small tube filled with none other then Joker Toxin, or Happy Gas, as Dad calls it. I use the liquid form of the Toxin, it is much better that way..hehe...Hmm...channeled Dad, for a moment...Okay!

I heard muffled talking in the bathroom as I walked toward it. The sounds were of disappointment coming from the twins. I knocked and asked, "May I help?" The door opened, it was Jim who answered, "I am sorry Boss, he wont talk." I smiled as I handed him the gas masks. He nodded in understanding, and took the other gas mask to his brother.

"I ain't talking...there is no way you will get me to answer!" The thug stated stubbornly. Jake looked at me with some confusion and I answered his unasked question, "She is fine now, just resting." He nodded after understanding what I meant. I took a breathe, steal my resolve, and took over the interrogation.

I stared at the oily thug with cold calculating eyes, and stated in a cold, hard tone, "You will talk, you will sing, if not, I have a tube here in my hands that can kill you in a most painful way." I showed him the tube I had, the Joker Toxin. The thug shrieked and said, "No! Don't you have more masks?! Are you insane!?" I smiled wide as I could, similar to my Dad's smile, and replied, "Oh no, I only have two masks, my boys here need them...me nope...I am immune to this toxin...but hey it is what I get for being the child of the clown prince of crime eh?"

The thug's eyes widened as far as they could go in freight, "J-Joker is your F-FATHER!?" The thug screeched. My smiled widened a bit, showing my teeth, which turned a bit sharper and I replied, "Oh yes, Joker is my Dad, Harley, his girl, my Mother...now you will tell me everything I want to know. Or you will find yourself in trouble...unlike my Dad...I hate killing...I do prefer torturing." I waved around the tube, as Jake brought out my little torture kit. It was full of feathers, knives, and other various devices.

About an hour later, the thug sang his song, betrayed his boss, who was none other than the famous Two-Face. "Good birdie, boys do what you will with him." I ordered, leaving the tortured looking thug with the twins. Walking back to the safe, placing the still filled tube back where it belongs, as well as the gas masks. I checked on Harley right after, I hear her snore faintly. I sniffed, using my heighten abilities, checking her health. She is fine, just a bit bruised, swollen, and a bit worn out. I walked back to the kitchen and I see Jim sitting at my dining room table.

"So what now Boss? Joker is a prisoner of Two-Face...how that happen?" He asked as he looked at me with his thinking face. I sat across him and replied, "I don't know, Jim...I don't know...I will know what happened whenever Harley wakes up." Jim nodded as his brother walked in. "Boss, I took the thug to the police station, saying that he jumped me...the thug was a wanted man...got some money from them." Jake stated as he sat beside his brother. I nodded and said, "Well...we are going to wait till, Harley wakes. Till then, if any of Dad's crew is hiding around...spread the word that I am back...just leave out I am Joker's kid for now." The two brothers nodded in understanding. "What about the Hyenas?" Jim asked.

I smiled and replied, "They will stay here, to help me protect Harley while she is injured. Also, they can alert me if something is amiss." Jim nodded and said, "Okay Boss." The twins left to round up what is left of Dad's crew, and recruit some more. 'I got to save Dad...I have too!' I thought to myself as I sat on my couch to watch the news. One of the Hyenas jump up to lay next to me, the other was laying down with Harley. I scratched the one by me, and thought out loud, "You know, I need to name you and your brother, so I can tell you two apart." The Hyena whined in disagreement, well more like growled. "Hmm...you already have names then." I wondered. The Hyena yipped and barked quietly. I hummed in acknowledgment, 'So my baby brother's has names...I guess I will learn the names when Harley wakes.'

It was about three days later that Harley finally woke up. The twins were still out there spreading word that I am back. I walked in the bedroom, seeing Harley awake, painfully petting the Hyena next to her. "I am glad you have found me, Jaya." She quietly stated. "I am too, you should have seen the Hyenas. They were ready to kill the thug. Instead though, I had them chase after him, and bring him to me for questioning." I replied, as I sat by her on the bed.

She nodded slightly, then said, "I thought..while hanging there...that I heard someone call me 'Mom'...but I guess I was dreaming it." I chuckled and stated, "Well...actually, Harley...I did...call you Mom..." I rubbed the back of my head after saying it. Hearing Harley laugh lightly, which was good, but then she said, "We've to get Joker back...but I don't know where he was taken." Her expression changed, from happy to serious. I nodded and said, "Don't worry Harley, I have the twins with us. They are looking for what is left of Dad's crew..they also may be recruiting as well." She nodded as some tears formed, probably missing Dad.

"Harley...do...do you...mind?" I asked. She looked me with her eye, because of her swollen face. Her expression was of confusion...of what she could under the circumstances. I sighed, and asked in a light whisper, "Can I? Can I call you Mom?" I then looked away from her in embarrassment. I heard her chuckled and replied, "I was wondering when you were going to ask me that."

Eh? She was wondering? Creepy! I guess by my expression, she smiled as she could and said, "Surprised? I knew you would ask me one day...ever since you have told me...that Mr. J...is your Dad...Yes you may." Blinking, but smiled feeling a bit happy at the moment. "So, what happened while I was away?" I asked her. Harley...now Mom sighed and replied, "Well, somehow, after you have left...some random people had joined up...they...they were apart of Two-Face's crew...he was mad that we were able to rescue you...before you've cracked...he was able to attack us with some help of his crew, who joined ours." She was getting upset, I patted her back and said, "Take you time...Mom...take your time...once I understand what happened...I will get Dad back." She nodded slightly and took a deep long breath and said, "Two-face...he split your Dad and myself from each other...hogtied the Babies...sniff." She paused for a moment to keep herself from sobbing. She then continued, "...blind folded me, and next thing I know I am here with you."

I growled low, somewhat startled Mom. I heard a knock at the door. "Rest here Mom...ok." I said quietly, she called for both of the Hyenas to be with her. My brother's will help in protecting our Mom. I walked to the door and looked through the peep hole...and it was...
