Prompt: Lucy has a nightmare.
Sweet Dreams.
Lucy Arleen Quinn wasn't a girl to get scared easily even at 5 years old, but then again when you're the daughter of the two most well known criminals in all of Gotham, the king and queen of crime themselves, you learn not to be afraid quick. But tonight was the exception as she lay tossing and turning in her bed whining as she was trapped in her nightmare.
The dream had started out fine with her tagging along with her parents on one of their 'nights on the town' as her mother called them having a great time but things turned dark as Batman showed up forcing them into a corner, before her eyes Batman grabbed her father and they began fighting both taking and landing blows but it was clear Batman had the upper hand as he finally slammed Joker to the ground, Harley was standing between Batman and Lucy gun drawn and tears streaming her cheeks.
"Stay back! I'm not gonna let you touch her!"
But Batman didn't listen he just grabbed the gun, threw it to the side and with a loud snap broke her arm making her scream loudly her tears rolling faster but she refused to go down as she started kicking trying to keep him from reaching Lucy but with a sharp blow to the head she fell to the ground unconscious. Lucy cowered away tears rolling down her cheeks to scared to move meaning she soon found herself being picked up and carried away from her parents beaten and bleeding forms. She started screaming an ear piercing scream kicking and hitting doing anything to get away only stopping when she felt a sting in her shoulder before things went black.
"Lucy!"
The sound of her mother's voice made her stop and open her eyes. She was back in her room her mother sitting beside her looking panicked and worried despite being dressing in only her silk robe. Lucy started crying and threw herself into her mother's arms making Harley sigh but hold her tight kissing her head.
"It's okay baby, it was only a dream. Do you wanna sleep with momma?"
Lucy nodded wrapping her arms around her leck locking her legs around her waist earning another sigh but a smile. Lucy let herself be carried to the master bedroom then laid on the black silk sheets in the middle of the bed as Harley got in beside her. The movement made Joker open his eyes and give Harley a quick leer before noticing the tears on Lucy's cheeks.
"She had a bad dream puddin', she wants to sleep in here."
Joker didn't respond for a second before gently wiping Lucy's tears away.
"The bat again?"
Lucy nodded watching him as he shook his head.
"Don't worry Lucy, he's not going to take you away from us we won't let him."
As he spoke he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear cupping her cheek earning a small smile as her small hands grabbed his. Harley laid back down smiling as Lucy laid down between them still holding her father's hand falling asleep. Joker sighed looking at Harley finding her smiling.
"Her and these silly nightmares, as if we'd ever let bat-freak touch her."
Harley giggled but it turned into a yawn as her eyes started to close.
"They're just nightmares puddin'."
Her words trailed off as she fell asleep, he watched them for a few minutes before sighing.
"I won't let him lay a finger on either of my girls."
