Chapter 10
"Dick, theres a small problem." Selina said over the phone.
Richard was just getting back to the appartment when he received the call. "Whats up?" he asked simply.
"Garfields, whats up. Him, Kori, and some girl named Jinx found where his daughter was being held." she answered him.
"Ok well, what should I do then this is his fight." Richard said slowly. "Wait what do you mean where his daughter was at? Oh and Jinx is in Gotham?"
"Thats the thing, Dick, all three of them took off and...well...the're out for blood." Selina explained.
The former boy wonder was already moving towards the center of the city. "Why go there when he should be tracking his child down? All three of them out for blood? Even Kori?"
"They're going to the abandoned S.T.A.R.S. Labs, aparently Eve was transfered out two days ago. But there was another test subject on the roster, someone named Blackfire." Selina said, "The file says terminate in...two hours now."
"Blackfire? Thats Kori's older sister, that explains her going for blood but why Jinx she has no connection to either of them?" Richard said as he swung from rooftop to rooftop, stoping when he came upon a familiar Blonde woman.
"Actually it was Garfield and Jinx who started this coup then after that only then did Kori see the files. It was like they knew her." The thief said.
"At any rate Ill be there soon bye." click- he hung up the phone and stared at the woman in front of him. "So did you have anything to do with that explosion?" he asked her.
Harley Quinn smirked at him, "Nope that was all Mista J, but I did rob a Bank." He stared open mouthed at the confession. "It was all Cats and Batgirls idea, I was being a good girl for once."
"Batgirl!?" he yelled, "What the hell was this all for?" Richard felt like his life had been turned upside down.
"Something about keeping tall green and handsome out of trouble with Bats and the cops. What about you?" she said with a michievious glint in her eyes at his costume, "Switchin' sides again?" at this she licked her lips.
"Oh stop Harley, I was just getting some info earlier." he replied with a smirk of his own, "Besides...I dont feel like getting the shit beat out of me by Joker again."
"Oh yeah and dont forget your married now." she put in smiling widly at him. "You better get going make sure everything's all right." she said walking past him.
He reached over and grabbed her wrist pulling her back to him, "Why'd you do it Harley? Turn back to crime, you were doing so good until this whole thing started." he said in a whisper.
Harley looked down away from his masked eyes. "I did it for Red and Garfield. He showed up at that morgue a week ago completely out of his mind in misery."
"Didn't show it." The man observed.
"You didn't know how he was like around her, I could tell. Besides you know Pammy was always a little bit of a hater of all mankind except me of course, she just clicked with him. When she died I didn't know what to do with one of my closest friends gone. Then like I said he showed up and started looking for his daughter. Even released Mista J for me, although he's most likely back in Arkham for the whole bomb thing." Harley sighed. "I always wanted a kid y'know so I felt like I owed Garfield to be on his side."
Richard hugged the woman briefly before she started to walk away again, "Hey Harley?" she turned back to him and smiled. Quickly he leaned forward and pecked her cheek and whispered, "Thanks my Diamond Queen." with that he was gone swinging towards the old lab to help his friends.

Garfield sat in the shadows with Kori and Jinx waiting for some sign that the building in front of them was in fact the one they were looking for. Then he saw it, a slight movement to the side of the place, someone was entering a side door. "Lets get this party started. Remember NO one sees us until we get Kom back." The girls only nodded their heads and they quickly crossed to the door and entered.
As soon as they entered the whirring of machinery reached their ears and a few lightes were on deeper in the complex building. 'For an Abandoned building there shouln't be any power.' he thought as he pulled out a silenced pistol. He glanced back and nodded when the girls appeared ready as well judging from the pink and green glows they were emmiting.
He took off down one corridor and entered the first door he came to as soon as he saw no one inside. When the other two followed him he locked it and whispered to them. "Ok somewhere in this place is Kom we have now," he looked at the time on the watch in his pocket, "45 minutes before she dies. Kori I know your mad at her but if we all get out of this everything will be explained. Ash, you know how important she is to us so there is no problem with you wanting to get this done as fast as possible."
"I know Gar, but I have a bad feeling somethings gonna happen soon. I donno it has something to do with my Bad Luck skills but its just a nagging feeling for now so lets do this." Jinx said and Kori nodded still not talking much since the discovery of her sister being here.
The Green man cracked the door and peeked into the hall...

Richard landed in front of the S.T.A.R.S. Labs building, across the street on a rooftop actually. What he saw did not bode well for his friends that he assumed were already inside. There were several darkly dressed people converging on the building in question. All of them, carrying semi automatic weapons and were in vaguly militaristic formations. 'About fifty of them Damnit I cant take all of them.' Thats when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Why the hell are you wearing that abomination again?" Batman said to him the look on his face not doing much for his confidence. "There is a lot of them isn't there?" Batman looked around with at critical eye. "Might not be able to help them Nigh-Harrier."
A small clink sound issued forth from the right side of the converging "Solders" followed by a hiss then five of them started uncontrollably laughing, and rolling on the ground. This caused the others to get more alert to what was around them before another cackle of laughter joined, this one less pained and more insane.
Then a huge mallet hit two more of the group from the left side and then thats when the two heros saw it. A familiar Puple and Green clown on one side and a Red and Black Harliquin on the other. Batman looked to Richard in question only to ralize he was gone. Gazing back to the, now, battlefield he saw Richard in the thick of fighting along with his one time foes.

"Babs!" The voice said in Batgirls earpiece. "Barbara."
Batgirl reached up and pressed a nearly invisible button on it. "Whats up Question?" she said while looking at Catwoman sitting across from her in Selina's apartment.
"Well you said to contact you with anything on whats going down. Seems some defunct Stars scientists broke into the lab about three months ago and have been starting experements. Well they apparently also hired a entire mercenery group to keep them safe. I hacked into the cameras inside and outside the building and well your friends and husband along with strangly Joker and Harley Quinn are in a fight right now with them." Question said to her.
"Thanks Renee Ill be there to help." Batgirl looked over at Catwoman and told her what Question had just said. "This is gonna be a long night isn't it?" she asked.
Catwoman just smirked, "Thats one of the perks of being a "Good Guy". Besides I thought you could keep up with me."

Garfield was currently searching room after room. Kori and split up from them four hallways ago to fight off some black clad guards and Jinx had left him in the last hallway when even more came out of rooms. One room he searched looked like a computer lab of some sort and he marked it on his mental map, before he moved on.
Checking his watch again he saw he had only three minutes left to find Kom, where the hell was she? Running into one room he saw two of those guards and one scientist typing into a computer. In the center of the room strapped to a convayer belt was the orange skinned girl. "Convayer belt really cliche dont you think?" he said outloud.
The scientist cackled loudly as the guards approached Garfield, the belt started moving to an incenerator. "Gar help!" the woman yelled with tears of pain and fear in her eyes.
The scientist laughed again, "In exactly thirty seconds you wont be able to save he-" Bang, bang, bang. The two guards and the labcoat wearing man slumped to the ground each with a single round hole in their foreheads, he sighed and dropped his gun to run to the struggling woman and free her. She grabbed him in a hug and quickly looked around at the bodies of her three former captors.
"You killed them? You dont kill, why?" she asked in a broken voice. She suddenly shivered and Garfield now saw she wasn't wearing clothes and she had quite a few tell tell scars and needle holes.
"It was them or you and Ill mourn my actions later." He replied taking the lab coat off the person on the floor and having her put it on. "Look Im not proud of what I had to do but your more important to me than they are. Come on Ash and Kori are waiting for us out there."
That caused Kom to pause. "Kori?" she asked. "She came for me?"
Garfield grabbed her hand and smiled at her, "Yup." with that he dragged her out the door and ran into, Kori, and Ashley. "I saw a computer lab down the hall, I take it you took care of the annoyances." it wasn't a question.
Kori nodded while looking at her sister then down at the linked hands between the two. She didn't have time to think about this as Garfield had already let go and now was walking into another room. When the other three got in he was already furiously typing away trying to hack the computer system.

Batgirl and Catwoman found themselves landing in the middle of a fight that was almost finished. Half the Mercenaries were either knocked out or dead. Even then half the dead ones had smiles on their faces, they joined in the fight to finish off the few remaining advisaries. After the fight everything was awkward between the various parties involved.
Joker and Harley Quinn stood to one side while Batman and Harrier? stood to the other, then there was Batgirl and Catwoman. Then the tension was broken by Batgirl, she marched over to Harrier and swiftly kicked him in the crotch.
"What the Hell were you thinking putting that costume on again? If I hear of one, get that one thing you did to break the law I'll do more than kick you next time!" she yelled at him.
The now on his knees hero gasped for breath and tried but failed to explain himself, then he squeeked as he heared another voice. "Gimme you mallet Harley, seems Dick didn't listen to me last time I had a friendly chat with him." Joker said and he started walking towards the downed man with mallet in hand.
Batman stepped forward to intercept Joker, "No Joker, I have to take you back to Arkham. I aknowledge that you helped in this little venture but between the bomb and the-" He counted quickly. "sixteen murders I have no choice."
"Just a sec Bats, just one hit?" Joker pleaded. "Well I knew I was just released to do this one thing for the green one but I really dont feel like going back." He started to turn and glanced at the bearly recovering Harrier. "THIS isn't finished."
Everyone was distracted by four people comming out of the building and they all tensed until it became clear who it was. Garfield was carrying the fourth person bridal style while Jinx and Kori were behind them.
"Does anyone have a cell phone?" Garfield asked everyone sounding extremely tired. Barbara handed him hers. "Rachel come get us we know were she'll be at. Picking up Me, Jinx, Kori, Blackfire, and Richard. Take us to the old tower lots to discuss...Yeah go get Cyborg as well. Bye."
"What was that all about?"Richard asked him.
"It's time things were explained to all of you before I go to the next place and finally save my daughter." Garfield told him.
Rachel appeared out of a dark portal and asked if they were ready then some ot them dissapeared again. Joker started slowly edging away from Batman who grabbed his shoulder. "Your not going anywhere but Arkham along with, wheres Harley?" Batman, Batgirl and Catwoman looked around to see the woman in question no where in sight. It was at that moment Joker regretted pushing her out of his car one too many times.
