Check out this consistency. I'm gonna be doing this all winter break.
Harley leaned on Jokers shoulder as they watched their daughter cling to a pillow.
"Aw, puddin', can't we let her sleep?"
Joker patted Harley's head then sat on the edge of Lucy's bed, he calmly put his palm to her shoulder and shook lightly. Harley bit her tongue to keep from crying at the sight.
This.
This is what she has always wanted. Joker, a caring husband/father. And though they weren't technically married, she felt the love in her heart and that was enough for her. And in that moment Gotham City didn't matter. Batman didn't matter. Nothing mattered, except her perfect family. They were together and all the fighting was worth it. The months she had to pretend not to care about searching for her daughter, they were worth it. Because now she had everything she ever wanted. And no one was going to take it from her ever again.
Lucy packed her bloodied clothes from the Batman fight, her knife, and gun into a small backpack. She didn't care about anything else, she could get new clothes. She could get anything she wanted. The first thing that popped into her mind wasn't exactly what she had hoped for. Vincent. He had such a pretty face, but he was from her past. From the time of which she wished not to speak of…or think of.
Vincent wanted Bethany. Not Lucy. Bethany was gone forever, and Lucy was happy. She pushed Vincent out of her mind and flung the backpack over her shoulder. Who needed him, she could have any guy she wanted.
"Ready to leave, sweetheart?" Joker called out. Lucy closed the door behind her and smiled at her parents, who had their hands full with duffle bags.
"Are those all clothes?"
"No, just those two bags are clothes." Harley gestured with her head. "The other are our special toys. We'll teach you how to use them when we move in to our new house." Lucy rocked back on her feet.
"Where is our new house?"
"A little house called Wayne Manor."
"We're going to live in the mansion of your deceased nemesis? Cool. Let's go." Lucy was the first out of the door.
Joker smiled at his daughter bounced out of the house. He turned to Harley who was waddling with the five bags she carried. Joker took one out of her hand. "You make me proud, Harl." Harley giggled and kissed Joker on the cheek. "After we settle in, how about you and I get married?" Harley dropped the bags and threw herself onto Joker like a Koala.
"Oh, puddin', of course I will. I'd love to." Harley kissed Joker briefly before jumping off him and picking up her bags once more, the weight seemed like nothing. She felt as weightless as a cloud. She grinned from ear to ear as she threw the duffle bags into the Ford torus. Lucy sat in the back with her feet resting on the drivers arm rest.
"Whoo!" Lucy yelled out the open window. "Road trip!"
So, that happened. What do you want to have happen next? I have some ideas, but I would love to hear yours. See y'all tomorrow with another update.
