A/N Thank you for reading!

Belle Reve

"Unlock him."

Griggs looked at Flag, his eyes widening slightly before his gaze landed on a smug looking Deadshot. He glanced at the gun show of weapons on the table then turned back to Flag.

"You're serious?"Griggs asked and, when Flag raised his eyebrow, he added."You know what this man can do?"

Flag scowled."I'm here to find out. Lose the restraints."

Griggs wanted to protest but he knew that it would result in him being more embarrassed in front of the prisoner he hated most. Griggs pursed his lips and nodded at the guards who quickly stepped forward and unlocked Deadshot's cuffs. The man groaned in relief, rubbing his wrists and chuckled at the annoyed look on Griggs' face.

Deadshot let his eyes roam over the weapons before he turned to Flag.

"So, what's this?"He drawled."Cheerleading tryouts?"

Flag didn't react as he nodded towards the rows of weapons."Let's go. Let's see what you can do. They say you've never missed a shot...prove it."

Never one to pass up a chance to show off, Deadshot sauntered towards the rows of weapons and picked up the nearest gun, raising it in the air smugly before he loaded it. Flag watched, crossing his arms over his chest as he eyed the criminal.

"What you gonna do with it?"

Deadshot moved quickly, aiming the gun at Griggs who looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

Griggs jumped in fear."Shit!"

The guards reacted quickly, pointing their weapons at Deadshot. They offered to shoot the hitman but Flag demanded that they calm down.

Deadshot smirked at Griggs before mouthing."Tell your little bitches to stand down."

Griggs glared at the hitman before demanding his guards to put their weapons away which they did without a second thought. Griggs looked at Amanda and Flag, hissing angrily."For the record, this is exactly what I was concerned about!"

Deadshot chuckled in amusement at Griggs' wavering tone."What's for dinner?"

Griggs scowled at the hitman."Ames, if this man shoots me, I want you to kill him and I want you to go clear my browser history."

The hitman tapped the side of the gun with his fingers before shaking his head."So, the firing pin's filed down, right? Or the mag's fulla dummy rounds? Bet I pull the trigger and nothing happens. Can I be trusted? Is that the real question here?"

Griggs turned grey with fear as Amanda walked up to Deadshot, meeting his gaze."You're right. Why would we give a loaded weapon to an infamous hitman? Go ahead, pull the trigger. Empty it."

He glanced down at her than back at Griggs.

Griggs shook his head, speaking clearly."Don't empty nothing. You don't even know this lady. I've known you, like, nine months."

The hitman only seemed to become more annoyed the more Griggs spoke.

"Remember when I brought you that cookie? That was a real cookie."

The hitman raised his gun in the air and fired a shot, making Griggs jump.

Deadshot chuckled like a child on Christmas day.

"Y'all jokers must be crazy."

He laughed as he literally skipped over to the rows of weapons and began to show them what he was made of.

"Come on, man, why am I here?"

Griggs sighed as he was forced to sit down on a seat, eyes looking ahead of him as men filled the room, some dressed casually and others not. He looked around in a brave manner, eyes slightly widening as he saw a man wearing a bloody apron, a meat cleaver in his hands as he cut up meat.

He turned back around as a man with with a hat, wearing sunglasses, entered the room.

The man stood next to Griggs, an unamused look on his face.

"Yeah, i'm down, I get it. I've had a run of bad decks. Not my fault, all right?"

"Dude, this is real. I had to stop these guys from burning down your house with your kids in it."Griggs looked around again to see if he could charm his way out of his trouble."But you're lucky."

"Maybe, why do you think so?"

As if on cue, a well dressed man entered, wearing dark shades and carrying a case. He set down the case and opened it, pulling out a stack of money in a see through bag.

His eyes widened.

"Yo, slick. What's up?"

The well dressed man almost smirked as he said."You might wanna keep your mouth shut."

"Can I go, man?"Griggs' eyes narrowed."What the hell is going on? This is crazy."

He saw the well dressed man glance away.

"Boss? Permission to act freely?"

He didn't see or hear someone else respond but the man's face lit up. He pulled off his shades and, like a blur, rushed over to Griggs who almost jumped out of his seat. He groaned in pain as he felt a hand behind his neck and, a second later, his cheek hit the table with a loud thump.

He moaned as he felt his vision settle on the man who was know kneeling beside him."What the fuck are you doing?"

"Look at me. Take a good look at me."

Griggs let his eyes trail over the features of the man holding him down but couldn't find anything familiar.

Until his own eyes locked on the man's brown ones.

Dark, dangerous but compelling.

"My uncle J is a king and my daddy is a gangster."Katherine giggled as spun around in a circle before coming toward him, inches from the bars, eyes staring into Griggs'."They'll get to you. Maybe not to day, maybe not tomorrow but someday."

"You're Kat's father?"

Frost send him a small, dark smile as he lifted Griggs by the neck only to making him hit the table again with much more force than last time. Frost was usually a quiet man but he was very passionate when it came to his daughter. He had heard about Griggs' history, he was known for being cruel to the inmates, and even worse with the female ones.

"That's right."

Griggs became slightly fearful as he saw a gun tucked into Frost's trousers."I haven't touched her...i swear. She's being taken care of."

"Is that right?"

Griggs nodded before he asked."Can I go now? I-If you want, i'll give her your love."

Frost shook his head and let go of Griggs who sat up."You have another friend of ours."

"What the hell are you talking about? The rest of the prisoners are crazy, man, they're in a good place that-"

His face fell as hands placed themselves on his shoulder, fingers threatening to curl around his throat. He stayed still, too fearful to see what was behind him.

"Blah, blah, blah. All that chit chat's gonna get ya hurt."

The strong hands slapped against his forearms, making Griggs jump, a nervous chuckle falling from his lips as pain soared through his arms."My God!"

Deep, dark, growls came from the man standing behind him and Griggs looked up, flinching slightly, as The Joker suddenly appeared in front of him, lowering himself to Griggs' level. The Joker snarled, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he rose to his feet.

Griggs silently watched The Joker as he stood in front of him.

Griggs swallowed as The Joker kneeled slightly, hand coming forward, showing the rings on his fingers. He let his eyes trail over the gold rings.

Griggs nodded, leaning forward and kissing the pinky ring.

All was silent for a split second.

Until The Joker moved forward quickly, making Griggs flinch as hands came up and cupped his cheeks.

"I can tell ya meant that."The Joker said before a cackle came from his mouth.

"Yeah."

"Did you also mean to call my Harley-girl crazy?"

Griggs stumbled over his words as he responded."I-I didn't mean too...i mean, i'm sure Harley is very, uh, normal."

The Joker let out another cackle, his painted lips turning up into a smile."No...no, she's out of her mind that one."The Joker let out a fond hum as his mind drifted elsewhere."That's what I like most about her."

He blinked, snapping back into reality as he turned back towards Griggs, smile gone.

"You're gonna be my friend."

"Do you like it, Kitty Kat?"

"I love it, daddy!"

Katherine giggled as she twirled around, arms stretched out at either side of her as her father watched her with a warm smile. Her father was usually a quiet man, a serious man but he was different when it came to her. He chuckled as she skipped over to him before doing a curtsy then lunged into her father's arms who picked her up.

The nine year old locked her arms around her father's neck, a wide smile on her face.

"I'm a princess!"

"That's what you are!"Frost gave a small laugh and nodded, hugging his daughter to him with a large smile."My little princess."

Katherine jumped down from her father's arms as they entered the room that was known to be the meeting room.

The long table was now covered with food, balloons, presents and the largest birthday cake she had ever seen.

"Pretty!"

Her smiled widened as her gaze zeroed on in the presents."PRESENTS!"

She went to run over to them but her strong arms locked around her and stopped her before she could take another step.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."A growl hit her ears, making her eyes light up as she looked up to see her uncle.

"Uncle J!"She giggled arms locking around his leg which was the highest she could reach. Her head rested against his hip as she told him how much she had missed him.

"All right, that's enough, brat."

He rolled his eyes but smiled anyway as he took a bright, green box from one of his men. She looked up at him as he handed her the box that had a purple bow on it.

"What are ya waiting for? Open it!"

She didn't waste any time as she tore open the box, a gasp leaving her mouth as she picked up the gift.

It was a tiara.

A real tiara that matched her princess dress.

"Oh, uncle J!"She whispered as he took it from her, long fingers brushing through her long dark hair."Is it-"

"Real? Of course. At least that's what i was told. I can't remember, really, the nice man had a bullet through his forehead."

"Here we go. That's my girl."The Joker cackled to himself as he placed the tiara on Katherine's head before tapping her cheek almost fondly."A princess deserves the best of the best, right?"

She giggled up to him, wanting to hug him again but knew that would be too far. Noticing the look in her eyes, her uncle sighed and held out his hand, showing her his pinky ring.

She giggled again and leaned over, pressing a kiss to his ring.

He smirked down at her before he spoke again."The fun ain't over yet."

"You ever heard of pin the tale on donkey, brat?"The Joker asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, uncle J."

"Well I find that game boring so we are gonna play another party game...one i'm sure you'll enjoy."

The Joker cleared his throat and a moment later a man in a police uniform was dragged in by the henchmen wearing a party hat. Going by how realistic his uniform was, she guessed he was a police officer. He glowered at The Joker as he was strung up painfully, left dangling in the air.

"You'll pay for this, ya mother fuc-"

The man was shut up when one of the henchmen placed duck-tape over his mouth, leaving the rest of his words muffled.

The Clown Prince waved a hand as he chuckled."Now, now, off-ic-er, watch the language, there's little kiddies present."

The Joker moved over to the table and pulled off the cover to reveal a collection of extremely sharp knives. Katherine's eyes went wide in awe as his fingers ran along the knives before picking on up.

The Joker walked over to the little girl and handed the knife to her.

He knelt down in front of her, a rare smile on his face before he quickly leaned forward and let his painted lips brush her cheek.

"Happy birthday, brat."

She giggled and took the knife, smiling at her father and uncle as her uncle tied a scarf around her eyes.

"BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!"

The Next Day—Belle Reve

"Better than the last one."

Katherine rubbed her eyes as she yawned, waking up from an hour's nap in the new single bed she had gotten from Amanda after telling her that she couldn't work at her best without getting some proper rest. She had slept most of the night and day but boredom had slipped her into another nap. Her back, which had been sore from months of sleeping with a thin mattress, had gotten better. The bed she'd had wasn't good for her child or her own health as she had went days without sleep.

All she needed was to reunite with her family, catch up on her Netflix and life would be perfect.

Add in a few good kills and she'd be in the best mood.

Katherine got up as the guards stormed in, guns pointed at her. She almost laughed. Her pregnancy hadn't slowed her down, though she had been more careful as to not hurt her beloved baby, but she could still fight. She had been taught her whole life how to find loopholes, overcome obstacles and she'd never stop fighting for her freedom.

Katherine smiled at Griggs as he passed the permitter fence, guards following him.

"HANDS UP!"

She, remembering her deal, sighed but obeyed.

"Gonna play nicely, sweetness?"

She smiled at him, backing away as they entered her cage, hands still up.

"Of course."She frowned as she noticed the taser in several of the guards' hands."You're not gonna let them shock me, are ya? I'm pregnant...i'll play along, all right? Just don't let them do that."

Griggs, remembering the threats he'd been hit with concerning Harley and Katherine, nodded at the guards.

"Stand down with the tasers!"

"But, boss...she's put ten of our boys in the hospital while knocked up."

"Put them away!"He demanded, turning back to Katherine."She'll come quietly, right?"

Katherine didn't want to, she wanted to knock out or kill them all, but her baby could be hurt in the process. She could see no loophole and, reluctantly, she nodded, turning around, hands behind her back.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Griggs rushed forward and placed the handcuffs around her legs and wrists before attaching the two around her waist, minding her stomach.

"Come on."

She was strapped to a restraint chair and handed over to other guards she didn't recognize. Katherine, stuck with people she didn't know, felt the urge to hold her stomach but was unable to do so, which made her scowl. She was then led down a long corridor and towards a large group of medics that she, once again, didn't recognize.

She was pulled behind another restraint chair and in it was a man she hadn't seen before, calm but angry.

"Anyone who touches me is dead."He clearly stated as they prepared what ever they wanted to do to him."Anyone who touches me is-AH!"

Katherine snorted at his pain but kept quiet.

He growled, trying to catch the attention of the woman who was working with the others."Hey? Miss? What was that?"

She ignored him and began to demand that Katherine come forward. They began to wheel him away as he glared at the woman."Oh, you deaf. You one of them deaf hoes."

Katherine giggled at his childish insult as she was wheeled forward, watching him go.

She looked up as they began to prepare her for her turn.

"What are you doing to me?"She asked but got no response."I'm pregnant...i can't...i can't..."

The lady looked down at Katherine's stomach and, for the first time in her life, Katherine was worried about someone other than herself. She never had to be worried about Harley, The Joker or her father because they were, in her mind, untouchable, they could handle themselves.

But she was growing a life inside of her.

And, whatever gender it was, she loved it.

She wouldn't let anything harm it.

"Miss?"She whispered, finally letting her worried look come through her stone cold expression."Please...just tell me that it won't harm my baby if i, y'know... play by the rules?"

The woman blinked at her before she quickly whispered back."Don't try to escape, work with the mission and it'll be fine."

Katherine felt relief hit her and she only squealed in slight pain as something was injected into her neck.

Then, she was wheeled off.

Guards were everywhere as she was led outside, pain still in her neck but not as bad as before. She was behind the man that had insulted the woman and heard him curse under his breath as he was led as-well. Like her, she could see that he hated being controlled but she soon grew bored and enjoyed being outside.

She glanced over at the guard walking next to her, gun in his hand.

"Nice day, is it?"

He ignored her and kept on walking, making her roll her eyes.

She looked up at the sky, inhaling fresh air for the first time in what seemed like forever.

Katherine looked to her left as the sound of running feet came toward her, stopping next to her a moment later. She looked up to see that it was Griggs and, for the first time she'd known him, he looked worried.

She liked that.

"You're being placed in a plane and being transferred."He said quietly before continuing."I don't know where but I know that Harley will be there with you. I have something for you both from, uh, your father and Mister J, all right?"

She looked down at his hands to see two phones in them.

He quickly tucked one into her hand and she turned it round so that it was placed downwards.

He nodded at her before he walked away towards Harley, she guessed.

They were coming for them and would fix her problem, she had no doubt about that.

She smiled.

She knew they would.

Looks like I don't have to play nice, after all.
