I stared at the chains around my hands. I could still see the blood stains.. I could feel it, dripping down my arm. My name is (Y/n), better known as Jester. My father... is the clown prince himself, Joker. My mother, Harley Quinn. I've been rotting in this Arkham cell for 6 years now. I've had chances to escape with other criminals, even had my cell door blown up. Every time, I stayed. The guards avoid me, after all my dad is a lunatic so they expect the same of me. I smiled hearing the familiar foot steps. I looked up seeing it was Batman. ".... Good night, isn't it?" I asked him.

I don't know why, but he visits me about once a week. He always visits whenever da... Joker breaks out of Arkham. "How are you?" He asks me.

"Same as always." I said looking down at my hands. "... the families... of those 3.. cops.. how are they?" I asked.

"They've all mourned. They are living their lives." He said to me.

I smiled nodding, ".. Good.." I sniffled seeing the faces of those 3 cops in my head. They begged me to spare them... that they had a family... that they didn't want to leave. When Batman arrived later that night, I was on a roof, about to jump... but he stopped me... saved me. Me, of all people.

~flashback: 6 years ago~

I stood on the roof, looking down into the alley. I could hear nothing, but the soft drip of the blood flowing down my fingers, into a small puddle. "I'm sorry.." I whispered, looking at my hands. "I really am my fathers daughter..." I said laughing, letting the tears stream down my face. I stared up at the sky. "I'm sorry.. Dick.. Sorry to disappoint you.. again.. I'm sorry.." I cried looking down. I was about to take the last step when someone grabbed me by the wrist, and pulled me off the ledge. I was surprised to see that it was Batman.

"Were you the one who killed those officers?" He asked me quietly.

I smiled at him, "you shouldn't ask me a question you already know the answer to." I said staring at the handcuffs on his hip.

"I'm taking you in to Arkham." He said to me.

"... I don't.. I don't deserve to live." I whispered. "He believed in me.. after I told him.. who my parents were.. he stayed my friend.. and he believed in me!" I cried loudly.

"I know, but dying is running away. You committed a crime, you need to serve the time." He said to me.

".... I want to be in solitary confinement.. the entire time." I said to Batman. "... I don't want any visitors... no one..." I muttered.

~flashback over~

I stared at Batman and he handed me something, it was an box. "What is it?" I asked looking at it.

"Books." He said.

I was about to ask why he gave me books, but when I looked up, he was gone. I opened the box, and saw it was a cup cake, with Happy Birthday on it, with the numbers 29.

"29..." I mumbled and smiled seeing I had a toy light up candle in the box. I held the candle and flipped the switch and it lit up. ".. Happy Birthday... to me.." I sang softly and flipped the switch as I 'blew' on the candle. I picked up the cup cake and it was (fav flavor). ".. Thanks Batman." I muttered.

~Batcave~
"Master Grayson, are you alright?" Alfred asked as Dick took off the bat cowl, and slid into the chair in front of the Bat computer.

"Yeah Alfred.. fine." Dick said rubbing his eyes. The image of (Y/n), sitting in that cell, fresh in his mind. Bruce left for a business meeting, and I came in to sub for him. Who knew that the Bat mobile had a schedule to keep on this certain day. It took me to Arkham and gave me a cupcake in a box. There was a message from Bruce telling me to go to building C, room 36.

I go, and find, (Y/n), who has been missing for 15 years. I looked at the Bat computer in front of me. I typed in (Y/n)'s name, and a timeline, with loads of files appeared. 15 years ago, Joker took her, kept her, and trained her, brainwashing her. 9 years passed, and she was caught by Batman after killing 3 cops. Officer Penny, 28, no children, one wife. Officer Henry, 31, married, a son whose now 8, and a dog. Finally, Captain Finn, father of 3, 46.

(Y/n) is sentenced for life in Arkham, no chance of parole. "God... (Y/n).." I stared at her face in the mug shot. She had dried tears on her cheeks, her eyes were puffy, and fresh tears were in her eyes.

~16 years ago: Reader and Dick are 13~

"You don't hate me?" (Y/n) asked Dick as they both stood in the Wayne Manor garden.

"You are not your parents." Dick said walking up to her. "You are you, and thats all that matters." He said and pulled her into a hug. "We do everything together, and we'll get through this together." He whispered into her ear.

".. you.. still want to be friends? Even though my parents are... killers?" (Y/n) asked softly.

"You are not a killer. I know you." Dick said smiling at her. "And I love you for you." He said to her, making her blush.

"Stupid." She said looking away from him, making him laugh.
