"Baxter Stockman. One of the few scientists in New York that was the best robotics engineer as well researcher in genetic mutation. All his life he believed he was a genius in which has done some good since he started up his own business, that was until he aligned his technology to Oroku Saki. Not realizing he gave his life away into becoming the mutant fly he is today, who then became more involved into the Foot clan. From designing new methods to improve the Foot and to making mousers that could handle any foe. Baxter had become another servant in the Shredder's army, but for Bebop and Rocksteady? Was basically the nerd of the group that got picked on for screwing up, and now was going be interrogated by the same people all over again."

Harley and Ivy's Base-Gotham City Forest

After being kidnapped by his two least favorite people, Baxter Stockman was right now flying in a small containment room trying to break free. Luckily the group was able to remove anything that might alert his disappearance or get the attention of the Shredder. Buzzing around the room, Harley couldn't help but laugh at how the fly was trying to get free only to hit the walls left to right.

"Sorry. It's just adorable seeing him flying about acting like he was going get killed, which is something you might plan on doing right?"

Harley responding to Ivy who looked serious along might go into the room and do some plant based torture on him. Bebop and Rocksteady raised their hands getting excited about going in the room to mess him up, however that wasn't the intention for the kidnapping.

"No. We need him alive, and answers about where the hell Frank is and what Shredder's plan might be."

Ivy stating sadly that while she could feed the fly to a large plant, they needed information out of him. And it was going to be hard if it involved torturing the fly in the worst ways imaginable in the ways she could think of right now.

"Let is in there boss, will mess him up for ya. We know how to make the geek talk like in the old days, like this one time when had this crush on a red head. We use to dunk his head in the toilet to see what half asses idea he have to impress her."

Bebop recalling a memory from his day as a foot mutant in which Rocksteady laughed at how it was true. Though Harley raised a eyebrow at them of how that would help them in the situation, he'd refused even more since these guys were the reason why he seemed paranoid.

"Look. While that would be interesting to watch, we have to take this serious and think of a way to get him to spill the beans. And I know just the witch to help us."

Realizing about how if they couldn't get answers from him by talking, then they'd go into his mind like when Ivy did when she went in to help realize what she wanted. Heading out to find June, the others could tell what she had in plan as well thought it was a bad idea.

"Boss? If your going try that whole 'mind trip' then can we come? Cause last time we got shafted like stooges and we were curious what was happening in your brain. Not being weird or anything!"

Rocksteady asking that this time he and Bebop travel into someone's brain and trying to not sound weird about it, seeing how he was curious what it was like traveling in someone else's head. They headed into the lobby where Clayface and June were talking about his role in becoming Thomas Wayne, which had her curious.

"You still don't think it's messed up to do a performance based on the billionaire's father and to have it done on the big screen?"

Questioning Clayface that it seemed wrong to betray Thomas for how much he's done, as well possibly getting Bruce upset since it was still a touchy subject when reporters brought it up to him. While Clayface merely shrugs it off seeing how it was a challenge for any actor to face such publicity, June looked over noticing her friends stopping by who seem to need her assistance for their interrogation.

"June? You think we could get Enchantress? Kinda need her to go into the fly's mind and fuck around there to see where he took Frank. And we need her fast."

Ivy going right to the point as June merely looked unsure for that reason of bringing Enchantress out. They noticed the look on her face noticing it looked like getting their all powerful witch to come out and help them wouldn't be useful right now.

"That's going be a problem cause, last night we had a fight about how she wanted to invite Circe since she wanted to 'spice' up our relationship. And I didn't since I just wanted to be us. Right now we're not on talking terms, but I can do the same magic as she can."

Stating to them that while she might not be able to teleport them to other planets as well unleash a plague of souls. June knew a spell or two on whatever Harley and Ivy needed, in which seemed important as well willing to help out no matter what the situation was.

"Could you possibly use the same mind spell that allowed us to enter a mutated scientist mind so that we can figure out where exactly Frank is and what the Shredder is planning?"

Ivy questioning June about if she could perform the spell, however the glasses wearing woman took a moment to think about the suggestion. Along that that type of power would require much focus and concentration to project one's mind into another body. Walking over to the side where there were drinks she made herself a cup of tea, the others waited to see if June would be focused on this request.

"How about we go raid Wayne enterprises, bet they mind have some mind thing that could help us go into Badger's head. It's not that big for us to see what's in there."

Bebop suggesting to the others as the scientists at the building had tons of inventions for them to use. However it was to dangerous for them to do it since Shredder's men would get wind on them. Suddenly they noticed the girl gone and apparently taking two cups with her, thinking this might be a plan. The four rushed over to see what might be happening as they saw June inside the interrogation room where she offered tea to the mutant fly scientist.

"What is it? Hallucinogenic drink? Sleeping inducing coffee?"

"No. Just tea."

June answering the frightened Baxter as she wasn't going try and be aggressive like her friends and decide to treat him like a human being. Or a sentient being since how the others described of Baxter, he was a brilliant scientist before ending up as another member of the Foot. The scientist floated over to the woman and took the tea, in which he drinks it accepting her kind gesture.

"Now then. I want you to just take a look at my eyes ok."

Requesting the scientist to look directly into her eyes which Baxter seemed to not desired. However as he drank the tea, his mind felt rather calm and not so panicking. For the first time he felt focused, as well at peace with where he was despite being kidnapped by his old teammates. The four didn't know what June was doing with the scientist, however she made him not move around so much.

"Imagine a place where you feel calm, not in a lab or even a building. Somewhere that you feel comfortable in and know nothing bad will happen."

Her voice soothing him further to where Baxter's arms and legs began to feel weak. Watching the display of control of how June was getting the scientist nice and calm, the fly quickly dropped to the floor which June was able to catch right away.

"Did she roofie him? Cause that was pretty fucked up."

Bebop asking since it was odd for the fly to pass out so quickly and not resisting her. Carrying the mutant fly, June walked out of the room and brought her to her room where she placed him on her bed. Following where June had taken him, the group saw how June was possibly setting the mood for the spell that she was about to proceed with.

"Hang on. Does he have a boner?"

Rocksteady noticing how Baxter might have been turned on by whatever June did to him, taking a moment it was just his pants shifted near his privates. Harley slapped his shoulder seeing how it wasn't time for dick jokes, there was a lot on the line and they needed to focus.

"The herbal tea I used involved several ingredients that would put his mind at ease. While I can't exactly use the spell while he's conscious, it will be easy when he's passed out. We just need to not interrupt any memories we might see during our journey."

Explaining that while Enchantress could have done this in a instant, June needed to make sure he was asleep so they could proceed with the journey into his mind. Getting them gathered around holding hands, June began to recite a spell to help her concentrate. Suddenly her hands sent out a strong sensation of energy threw out the group, suddenly the five had their subconscious travel into Baxter's mind leaving the bodies to collapse onto the ground.

"Harley? Will you be needing me for anything else? I have to get to my role and the director wants to make sure I know my lines."

Clayface calling out as he walked into the room noticing his friends passed out along lying near the fly body. Realizing it was similar to what he and King Shark did when they went into Harley's mind, he merely pulled up a chair as well decided to stick around just in case if anything bad would happen.

Baxter Stockman's Subconscious

Traveling threw his mind the five saw all around them a bright life as well several hundred memories coming right at them. Unable to process the moment and going further into the brain, a light opened up allowing them to finally reach their destination. Hitting the mental ground, the group tried to gather themselves along figure out where they were.

"Ok. So last time we did this bullshit, you arrived in my mind which was basically a gallery of memories in portraits like a museum. So a scientist like Baxter should have a lab similar to mine."

Harley thinking how this might turn out as the others didn't respond seeing that they weren't in a small space. They were all in a neighborhood, a old one which had old time looking cars as well possibly being in the seventies.

"Wow. Didn't take the bug for a nostalgic guy, if he wasn't so all nerdy we could have listen to some mixtapes."

Bebop being surprised how it wasn't a laboratory or even his own type of environment where he was in control. As they continued to explore around the area they heard a young laughter coming from a nearby house, taking the moment they decided to investigate. Coming up to a house they saw someone near the window, which was a young dark skin boy who was in the kitchen.

"That's Baxter? You two bullied that kid? Seriously you two are bastards. I mean look at him."

June looking at the two mutants who apparently had bullied him when he was a adult, though looking at it closer. They noticed his smile changing as he had captured a fly within a jar and holding what looked like acid made from several house hold products.

"Wanna say that again?"

Ivy questioning her on how the sweet boy was doing a sadistic experiment with the bug, which is ironic that he was going to be the mutant fly they saw him in the real world. Before they could watch the boy kill the bug with his chemical, the door opened which showed a woman coming in as well possibly be his mother.

"Mom!"

Young Stockman shouted excited as he forgot his experiment and rushed over excited to see her. The five kept hidden in the bushes so they weren't seen, but they watched the tender moment between the mother and son as she noticed by the sink a large collection of pots and pans being used for his 'experiments'.

"Sweetie. While I know your a bright and intelligent boy, but you can't be using the plates for your projects."

Being both considerate and stern to her child as it seem from what the others could see was that he only had his mother to raise him. While Ivy wanted to interfere and get right to the point, however June stopped her since it could lead to them getting stuck in the memory leading to the same events like last time. Quickly enough they see how the memory was continuing.

"Which is why I was able to get this for you."

His mother stating as she pulled out from the side was a science home kit which got Baxter excited. Hugging his mother for the gift, he soon felt her coughing badly as it seemed she was sick. This made the group feel sorry as they could tell the mother was sick, while for Ivy ignored the moment.

"We can feel sorry for the doctor who experimented on him. Right now we need to get answers."

Ivy stating as she walked over and was about to open the door, however just as the plant woman entered. The environment changed which was pitch black, looking forward she noticed a bed where Baxter's mom was located. The others managed to make it in time as well see what was happening, coming from the side was still young Baxter who walked over to see if his mother was ok.

"Mom? Are you going be ok?"

Asking frightened by the sight seeing his mother in bed unable to move that much, from her face and tired eyes it seemed her sickness was finally kicking in. The five remained silent watching the sight of this moment since it was a tender moment.

"Sorry baby. I guess after all those days working finally wore me out."

She responded to the frightened child about what might be wrong with her, seeing how she might have developed a sickness during her time working. Baxter held her hand frightened of what would happen, in which his mother showed a small smile to show she wasn't afraid about what happen.

"But don't be afraid, because it's like science. Always look for a cure whenever something is sick, and heal it. So that no one ever experiences it."

Informing Baxter as they noticed her eyes slowly closing which meant she used much of her strength to tell him a important lesson. The glasses wearing boy soon began to beg for her to wake up, in which there was no response from his mother. As they saw how Baxter tried to wake her up, they noticed another light opening from the side which was a door.

"Looks like another brat lost his mom. Oh well, take him to the orphanage."

A voice spoke out to which showed two figures that looked like security guards, however to the others surprise it was Bebop and Rocksteady. Harley and the others looked at the two mutants by their side seeing how Baxter was visualizing them as people who would take away his happiness.

"Now hang on. We messed with him when he was adult, never as a kid. There's rules when it comes to messing with people that are in gangs."

Rocksteady stating as they saw how the two guards were pulling away little Baxter away from his mom. Seeing how they might lose the chance to figure out where Frank was, Harley acted quickly and leapt right at the three in which she kicked behind the heads of the fake mutants and pulled Baxter away from them.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Ivy asking since while it would be good to see where they were taking him, Harley as always would act on instinct and improvise a plan in order to get things done. Keeping the boy close she brought him over to the others in which had them confused about why she saved the child.

"You wanted to know where Frank is, and we can't have him traumatized anymore. And right now screaming isn't exactly helping, cause I've studied this type of scenario when I got my PHD."

Reminding her that she was a doctor as well a psychiatrist since with how the moment was during went to hell, they needed Baxter to be focused and calm. However they felt the house shaking along how whatever Harley did was causing the mind to protect itself from the intruders.

"Well that degree doesn't come into play when magic is involved, which is now sensing that we're about to be pulled out since you messed with the memory."

June informing them that the mind would reject anything that doesn't belong which included Harley and the others. Though as the two guards roared at them, the others felt a sudden pull as the sky above them opened up and sucked Harley's friends. Leaving only the clown woman and child alone to deal with the two mutants in front of them.

"I'm not leaving without my mom!"

Baxter shouted as he lets go of Harley's hand and runs away from the mutants and Harley, seeing the frightened child heading off. She runs after him trying to catch up to Baxter, meanwhile Bebop and Rocksteady gave chase and acting like animals.

"Look I know your scared, but you just need to think about something different. Possibly happy that doesn't involve orphanages and.."

Trying to suggest a place for them where they can be safe, though as they continued to run a crack opened right underneath their feet which had them go right threw it. It was small enough to not let the mutants after them, sliding downwards threw the crack they hit the ground arriving in a new area of his mind. Harley taking a moment to adjust herself she see's Baxter standing in a hallway, it had several monitors on the side which was possibly his 'museum of memories'.

"What is this place?"

Asking out of curiosity since this was similar to Wayne Tech, young Baxter pointed over to a name which was called 'StockGen'. Putting it together she could see that he might have own this place since it had his last name.

"My father's company. After I was sent to the orphanage, my dad learned about me. Apparently he couldn't stick around with my mom and tried to find a new way to make a life. So when he took me in, he taught me how to use my intelligence to win. As well do whatever means without letting emotions take over."

The child explaining as Harley saw threw one of his monitors a memory of Stockman being adopted by his father and to then teach him how to run a company. As well use his mind to create things that would make money and to stay at the top. However he was strict and always tested him to use any method to win. Harley bends a knee to look at Baxter as the boy noticed how she was was trying to get his attention.

"I know the feeling. I had my share in shitty dad's, but right now. I need your help, I have a friend that's lost and I want to make sure he's ok. And maybe you can help me."

Harley asking him kindly and trying to get to a level where they shared something. Baxter still seemed to not trust her as well seemed frightened by her due to how she pulled him away from the mutants.

"Let's make a deal. I'll help you find your way back home, if you help me find my friend."

Offering a chance to help him in exchange he did the same for her. The glasses wearing boy didn't know what to do in which he still felt frightened, however he merely shows his hand accepting her deal. Smiling at how Baxter was opening up, Harley grabbed it as the two began to walk down the hallway. Harley began to view several of his memories seeing how he was progressing, from making small devices to machines.

"Look at you. I bet you'd get tons of girls with that brain of yours, I mean look at these. Their cute and deadly."

Complimenting how if he didn't join work with Shredder he could have continued with this place. Though the memory she was watching seemed to show a machine that Baxter was working on, to which looked like a two legged animal. Checking out the name that was labeled, they were called Mousers.

"No. Their the reason why I lost StockGen. They were rewired and became explosives."

Baxter correcting her as Harley saw the mousers turning to her as one leapt right out of the monitor to try and attack her. However she kicked it away sending it down the hallway, though as she did the two hear several footsteps coming out of the shadows which showed a small army of mousers letting out a mechanical roar.

"Yeah, not happening."

Responding to the sight as she held Baxter's hand and dragged him down the hallway to avoid getting caught by the mousers. Rushing right after them, the two saw how they were getting closer. With their eyes beeping red showing a clear sign of exploding, Baxter noticed one of the rooms ahead of them as he pointed right at them.

"There! Will be safe there."

Shouting as Harley brought him up and held him tight before she body slammed herself threw the door. Dropping him to the floor she rushed back to the door and closes it, holding it back she felt the mousers exploding. Luckily for them the mental door contained the blast and kept them safe. Feeling relieved, Harley noticed the room they were in. A bedroom, preferably his bedroom where he had his mother's science kit along several photos of him winning at a science fair.

"This was the only place I felt I could be safe, as well do my studies without feeling pressured."

Baxter said as he walked over to his bed to pick up a stuffed bear which apparently looked stitched together. Harley letting him enjoy the moment decides to walk over and sit by his side, thinking he would need someone to feel safe around.

"You know, I was like that. Pressured to try and impress someone that I thought loved me, but he didn't. Which lead to a bunch of crappy moments, but that doesn't mean you should forget the moments that are worth remembering."

Offering a suggestion to him about while she may not had a childhood that had a stable family, Baxter could still keep the memories that made him happy. Baxter merely shed a tear and hugs her, feeling him frightened. Harley hugged him in a method of comfort seeing how this might be the first time he hugged anyone beside his mother.

"Your friend Frank, he's still alive. But, my new boss wanted him for something important. A experiment involving resurrection. Since he could do the same for plants, he could do the same for people."

Giving her a answer about what was happening to Frank along what Shredder was up to. As this made Harley confused about how Frank could do such a feat, the door opened wide open showing several mousers along Bebop and Rocksteady growling at them. Not showing any fear she kept Baxter behind her seeing how she wouldn't let them harm him.

"Listen. I know you may trust these idiots, but they've change. And all these assholes are nothing more than fear built up by the Shredder and everyone who's bullied you."

Convincing him that they weren't real and he could stand up for himself. Though they didn't do anything, standing up straight and moving to the side they saw a shadowy figure at the door. Walking into the room was a adult version of Baxter Stockman, who wasn't a fly but a human with glasses and a calm expression on his face.

"Their not fear. Their motivation, motivation that drives me to be better than them. To improve my intelligence to be strong, and to show that my name would strike fear into anyone that see me inferior."

Sounding serious and looking similar to Bebop and Rocksteady's eyes in trying to become better, as well holding onto the anger and pain that they've received under the hands of the Shredder. Standing between both the young and old version of Stockman, Harley decided to try and talk to him as a doctor.

"Then you should know that moving on doesn't mean forgetting. It means healing, and using anger doesn't do any better. It'll only hurt you, to the point where it's normal. And that it'll be the only emotion you know."

Being a expert on what it was like knowing pain both physically and emotional when she was with the Joker and to when she left him. Baxter could hear the truth in her words along see the look on her face of how she dealt with her own problems. Looking at his child version, he reached his hand seeing how it was time to go.

"I guess then I should move on then, and try to find a emotion that works for me. Or us."

Informing Harley and his young self that there was more to learn. Harley looked over to the child seeing how he was ready to go, giving her one last hug he walked over and grabbed his hand as the two had the mutant guards and mousers walk out first.

"Thank you."

The two said as both Baxter's walked out of the room in which the door closed right behind them. As it did the room began to slowly fade away as well Harley who saw the same portal opening up above her, bringing her straight up she felt herself leaving Baxter's mind and returning to the real world.

Back in the Real World

Being the last person out of his mind, Harley woke up with her eyes open and gasping at the same time looked around to see her friends looking at her worried. Turning to the bed she saw Baxter now much calmer as well not frightened by the people, turning over to Bebop and Rocksteady. She got up and whacked them upside the head which had them confused.

"The hell we do now?"

"Making this guy become a twisted Frankenstein that involved making killer exploding robots. Now I want you two to apologize to him now for what you did to him in the past."

Responding to the two about why she slapped him since she saw across the memories the two of them messing with Baxter. As the two tried to respond to their boss, Harley gave a look seeing how while she did bond with them. It was time they did the same with Baxter, the two groaned as well looked at the mutant fly seeing how this was humiliating.

"We're. Sorry that we screwed around with you when we were in the Foot. As well pranking you numerous times when we weren't working."

Both of them stating as Baxter looked puzzled on how the same mutants that once bullied him in the Foot were now apologizing. As well meaning it if they listen to Harley, however the moment went away as Ivy looked to Harley to see if she found out what was happening to Frank. The expression on her face showed both a rather terrible response of what was happening.

"Frank's been modified by Stockman for Shredder to resurrect people. He's trying to bring them back to life."

Stating at how due to the mutation of the fly trap, they now learned about him possibly bringing back plants. However the idea of him able to bring back the dead was impossible, but since the Foot clan had history with mutagen as well the notes from Baxter's research. It might be possible, however the only question was what would he would do with it?

Gotham City Cemetery-Night Time

Right outside of the public was the cemetery where the dead would be buried. However it had a secret where the villains would be buried by their henchmen or second in command, something that Lex Luthor made a deal with the previous mayor when the Legion of Doom was in town. Walking pass the tombstones was Shredder in his armor with both Fish face and Dogpound who were carrying a container that had Frank trapped inside.

"Master Shredder, are you sure you wish to bring him back? I've read the files about him threw the archives that Gotham had. And he's dangerous."

Fish face asking his master of who exactly he wanted to bring back to life. Shredder remained silent as he was looking at a tombstone with the name 'Joker' written across it.

"What this woman has done can never be forgiven. For turning my muscle and own daughter against me, she'll know what true fear is."

Responding to the fish as he looked to Dogpound as the mutant dog pressed the button to the container which sink several syringes into Franks back. Groaning in pain at how his blood was sipping into the ground, the three noticed how the grass and rock were cracking up. They suddenly see cracks hitting several other tombstones as it was to much. They then see a figure emerging from the ground while rising from the dirt, while Fish face and Dogpound looked rather frightened. Shredder didn't as they soon hear a sudden hissing sound from the corpse.

"Here'sss Joker."

The reanimated snake announced as he soon lets out a mad laughter of returning from the dead as well his eyes glowing green. His appearance was half human and snake while being dead at the same time. Shredder knew that if he wanted revenge for his humiliation at Harley's crew, he would bring back a nightmare that would not only terrorize Gotham City. But would make Harley breathless at what Joker will do now that he's returned from the grave.
