OOC: Note. I do not own the JL, or anything else. Just this story.
This one gets a shout-out to dragonscales00 for Shayera new name in this.
Shayera Hol as...The Joker!
Gotham. Ace Chemicals.
Shayera was in a office of Ace Chemicals, reading a book. She was supposed to be reporting how much if this, or that is made, but really, she was not even in the main officers, and they got a half a dozen other people doing that right now. Really, all she needed to do was fill out the sheet (Which she already did.) and turn it in at the collage.
To know why she was at Ace Chemicals this one fine night, was collage. You see, one of her teacher was all about young people 'seeing real work first hand' so he made her, and others spend a day at some place and learn about how thing works, and all that stuff. What a lord of crap. To her, it was one of the worst waste of time ever. Like, she had good grades, and she knew what she was going to do. Fly. She was going to be a show pilot. She got the skills. She knew how to fly. Hell, she already got her license to f;y. If she had have her way, she would be in the air right now, but no, she had to be her, when she could be doing at least have a dozen things to do then this.
"Well, at least noting bad going to happen. Like, who would rob this dump? No one, that's who."
Suddenly, they was yelling, and then gunfire.
"...I stand corrected..."
She quickly got to the widow, and look out. It look like the Red Hood gang, one of the deadliest gangs in all of Gotham and the area around the city. Out of all of the gangs, and groups, it just had to be them. They was already inside and rounding up people...or shooting them up. As much as she would what to fight, she really did not what to die in a place like this. She moves to a air vent, and clawing into it. (Yes, they was a open air vent.) Her plan was to find a way out of this place and run real fast. She move as best she could not to make noise, which did help with all the gun fire from the gang. Suddenly, she heard the sound of metal breaking, and before she knows it, the vent broke open, and she fall onto a catwalk. She knows something is also broken, but she still try to get away even as the Red Hood gang sees her, and coming after her. She is able to knock down two before they take her down, tie her up, and over to the other hostages.
"No. I what to see her first." Said a voice that even made her blood go cold. They drag her over to the man himself. Red Hood with that real odd mask that he always had on. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A girl trying to play hero? Well, sorry, but i win. But still, your a cute one." He said, putting a hand on her face. What did she do about this? Easy for one Shayera Sanders. She bits his hand real hand. He yells as his gang are able to pull her away. "Ohh! We got a real wild here boys!" He yells. Shayera could feel the bastard is smiling under that thing he has on when he just shoots her in the keen. His men lets her go as she goes down the the floor in pain. "Fuck! I'm going to kill you for that! I hear me! Kill you!" She yells, enrage at what Red Hood just did to her. "And i would just love to see you try. I mean, you could join my little group if you what to. I mean, if you stop biting me, or maybe i just kill you right here." He said, pointing the gun to her head. Shayera serious thought he would kill her right then and they, and it would be better then having to hear his voice any longer, or be taking by the Red Hood gang, and God knows what would happen.
However...Fate had other ideas.
The police was here, and was not paying games. "Well boys, deal with them will you?" The gang got ready for the GCPD, and a great firefight happen as the two sides let the other have it. "Up you go, little girl." Red Hood said as he shot her again in the arm, and then pull her up. "I am going to kill, you know that.." She said as he pulls her onto a Catwalk. Suddenly, something big and dark rams into a member of the Red Hood gang on the catwalk, knocking him over the side. A another try to attack it, but the thing takes down the thug just like that. The thing looks at her, and the Red Hood. The thing looked like a man in a dark outfit that look bat. When had a bat looking symbol on the front of it.
It was Batman.
"Oh! We meet at last! You may call him Red Hood, Mr. Dark Knight." The mad man said as he points the gun as Batman, but the Batman sends a batarang at him, knocking the gun out of his hand. Hood hiss's in pain, and flees with Shayera. Batman goes after them, but is attack by more thugs. He makes quick work of them, and goes after Hood and his hostage. He corner Hood, with a large tank of newly made chemicals. "So! You may think you got me, but i got trick with me." Shayera just looked at both of them. She would try something, like push the bastard into the tank, but with her fall, gun-shots, and blood lost, she could not do much. "Let the girl go, Red Hood." Batman said in his dark voice. "Once..poor words." And with that, Red Hood push Shayera over the side. Batman rush to get her, and he does. Shayera makes the mistake of looking down, and seeing how high she really was. Batman almost have her...but then Red Hood attacks the Bat with a lead pipe, hitting him in the side of the head, causing him to drop Shayera. "No! Help!" She yells as she hits the chemicals. Batman beats the Red Hood, and quickly turns to see Shayera goes under, and no longer see her. He is about to try to go after him, but the police are coming. No time. He is force to flee.
Some time later.
Unknown to many, Ace Chemicals drop a ton of stuff out to sea, and into the river. Only a few few about this, and now so did Shayera. She bust out from the water, taking to take air into her body as she could. Everything was hunting. Everything felt like it was on fire! She felt like she had falling into a boiler. She is able to get herself to shore. Everything was still burning.
Her skin.
Her eyes.
Everything inside and out was burning.
That's when she saw a clear poor of water, and saw the new her. Bleached skin. Hair green with some orange. And eyes even greener. Shayera at first just screams as loud as she could at her new look, but then, the true damage came into effect. Her mind. Her mind have been warp, set on fire, and let burning. She started to...laugh. And laugh, and just keep on laugh. She saw the truth. She have been...reborn...into something so new. And she had the Batman to thank. So sure, it was Red Hood that took her hostage, but it was the Bat that let her fall into the chemicals, and not even try to save her. Yes, she would need to...talk with...Batsy...and besides, this city needed something real new and hot! First...she needed a name for her.
Joker? No.
The Bleached Bird? No.
The Wingless Hawk? Nope.
The Mocking Bird? No...wait...Yes. Yes! That's shall be her new name! Mocking Bird! Not Shayera Sanders. Shayera Sanders was dead! Gone! Left the building! Gone on vacation! She laughs even more as she walks back to Gotham. Now, she only needed a outfit to show off to the Bat, and a little gang of her own.
And she had just the group she could makes her's.
Red Hood gang. They boss was most likely in jail, and thous left needed some new leader, and who else better for a leader then her!
"Time to get into action! Ohhh! I can't WAIT to meet Batman again! Hahahaha! Look out Gotham! The Mocking Bird is here to have fun, and start a body court!"
