Lucy Quinzel

You may be asking how Gotham had change over the years..
It changed quite a bit but not so..
Crimes will always be there and some of those criminals from the past may be on Arkham or long dead..
But then For Lucy Quinzel who knew how this city works still thinks that she can run her life in a normal way but no matter how much she try it will always come to her...........

The inevitable....

Faucet is on and water just drip on the sink while she splash her face with some water and stare at herself on the mirror next....

Tic....

Her different kind of laughter will always be something she cant understand...

It may be a nuisance on her daily life when she suddenly laughs and makes people think she's crazy...

Where the hell did she even get this?

Right now her left cheek moves while she tries to stop it...

She's getting frustrated just by looking at herself on the mirror....
Her teeth were clenching just to try and stop her cheek from moving on its own..

It sometimes creates weird sound..

She just got tired and went down for dinner....

"How was youre day sweetheart?"
Her mom asked while they eat...

"fine"

Delia Quinzel had notice her lazy movements....

She wasnt really like that..she's that enthusiastic kind of gal...

Delia thought that maybe Lucy is still thinking about her auditions that didnt went well...

But it wasnt really that...
Her mom doesnt really like to ask much....

Lucy's deep thoughts had stop when something caught her attention...

"It was a monster!!!!"

Both her and delia look at the TV where the horrified voice is coming from....

The reporter who was interviewing a guy full of bandages just had that snarky look like she doesnt believe what he is spatting about...

"She isnt human i tell you...its poison ivy!! She just changed her appearance but its her!"

Now delia turn her eyes to her daughter who was caught in full attention on the news....

Poison Ivy, Her Aunt's partner in crime.....

They were Gothams high rank criminals...

One day Both Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn just left and was never seen again and after all these years something like this is being reported?

Delia cant stop her daughter when Lucy fix her plate and told her theres something important that she needs to do.
She run upstairs and grab some Jacket and sneak on her window...

On the deep night streets of Gotham...

Some were walking drunk, some doing there own business and there was her....

While sneaking on the corner of the street she didnt realize a tip of pink petal following on her direction...

She didnt thought that it was this cold outside...she rub her hands together and put it on her jacket's pocket and just let out some fog on her mouth...

Why did she even went out of the house in the first place?

Because she heard Poison Ivy?

That woman in her dreams who had vines is that the woman attacking the people of gotham?

She acted on impulse and now that she got worn out and didnt know what to do she felt like going home...

Crossing on the next alleyway made her stop and immediately hid herself to peek a little...

There were some group of men surrounding another man...

They were like making some deal....

She swallowed the lump on her throat and her eyes aint blinking....

She thought that if she didnt went out of their house she wouldnt even be seeing this....a crime right before her very eyes....

Cant move her feet to run..

She cover her mouth when she felt her left cheek moving on its own again..

Shit! Not now...she thought as she finally felt her feet and back away only to be stop when she felt a hard body that bump on her..
turning on her trembling motion only her eyes to wide up as she saw a huge guy wearing a joker mask..

And the next thing she knew she was thrown inside the dark alleyway making all the guys stop from their transaction and look at her..

"she's looting" the one on the mask had told the others

They all turn to her while she move afar but just met the cold brickwall..

She's still covering her mouth......

They all look like they wont let her walk out of the alleyway alive...

Seconds later they heard some screeches...they even look around only to realize it was her mouth...

She cant stop it anymore that she felt her own laughter bursting out...

They felt like she was making fun of them...

Someone grab her from her jacket..

"What you laughin at?"

She was shooking her head and cant speak coz her laugh was uncontrollable...

She felt her body slam next to the ground

Her laugh came louder...

Making them think she aint scared..

They didnt stop there...

Her jacket was remove from her and a lighter drop off from it..

"still laughin?"

She can feel her own blood dripping down from her head..

"Please stop"

The man holding her shirt just grin and about to slam her again when a sound of someone had drop on the ground...

They had let go that she flop down all weak and unable to move...

They all move back when they saw who just drop down...

Didnt even try to fight just by his prescence alone they knew that they didnt stand a chance making them all run away...

Lucy smile just by seeing him walk by..

"What the hell are you doing here?"
Between her small laugh she just sway out her hand by those questions...

"can you help me up?" she ask trying to act cool....

He gritted his teeth...

he pull her and put lucy on him....

And before Lucy knew she was circling up from his rope....

He put her on steady in a soft spot when they landed somewhere...

"what are you doing Wayne?" she yanked from the couch when they are already inside the batcave....

"Im treating youre wound" he press her down to sit back

He remove his eyepatch and press a button to call Alfred....

"I can see that" she laughin on her weak state while sittin on some couch...

"What are you doing outside?" he asked on his usual tone...

"aw!" she wince when damian press the cotton more on her wound...

"I dont even know why im even outside" she respond and look at her wounds..

"Those stupid jerks" Lucy slowly lay her back on the couch while Damian stop and look at her...

"Seriously what are you doing outside?"

He's not going to stop asking huh?

"Thanks Wayne for Saving me"

Damian sighed as she put some cotton on her wound again...she's trying to avoid the question...

Her eyes were seeing the top of the cave where bats are just roaming around....

"Hey"

He didnt respond.....

Lucy took a glance on him...
It just took a second before she lay back again....

"I dream of a girl" she felt like telling him....

Maybe it can make her feel a little easy...

"She's like poison Ivy"

Damian's hand stop from treating her as he heard it...

Now they had their eyes connected...

"Are those news about a woman with plants true?"

Now she's trying to connect everything from reality....

"Are you telling me youre dreams are real?"

Damian sneered and throw some cotton on her....

"hey! Im trying to be serious here?" she throw back all the cotton that hit her...

Damian started laughing holding his stomach...

"whats so funny Wayne?" she make face.....

Then it fades and somehow a memory of someone rush on to her...

Alfred walk in and about to call their attention when...

"Is it possible my Aunt is back?"

That stop alfred from walking in....

Damian didnt expect that question...

Lucy realize the silence that she created that she laugh...

"Nevermind" she chuckled while Damian cant help but feel Lucy's frustration written all over her face...

He cant utter a word and just let her feel like her laugh will relieve something..

"Youre living in Gotham Quinn....it will never be normal..." he finally found words that can settle in for Lucy...

That strikes something from her chest making her laugh stop....

Her normal laugh had stop and now her cheek starts to move on its own...

And thats where Alfred came in...

Lucy cover her mouth trying not to let her uncontrollable laugh start....

"Young Master and Young Lady" Alfred announce his arrival making both Damian and Lucy look at him..

"Alfred" Damian held the kit that Alfred handed to him..

"Im afraid we have to inform Ms.Delia about the situation?"

Her mom.....

"Oh right" she groaned...

"Ill have to tell mom"

She try to stand but she cant...

Both Damian and Alfred help her to take a steady state...

"Thanks" she breath out and cant move properly..

"Dont worry ill call her for you Ms.Lucy" Alfred had that gentle smile...

She bow down her head and thought how can she ever repay the wayne family for looking out for her everytime....

' Mr. Bruce Wayne, Damian's Father had once told her that her Aunt Harleen had specifically told him that he should watch her in exchange that she will peacefully let him take her to Arkham....

Mr. Bruce Wayne had that smirk on his face while he's standing beside me that day outside the football field of our school...

He had that strong prescence and somehow i knew who he was....

He is Batman and that makes him really scary and as a father for Damian he's kind of strict but that little brat can handle himself well he even tells me he's more worried of me slipping in danger than himself, of course he wont slip for he is the current Robin of Gotham and the one who make sure this city is peaceful...

before it looks fun for Damian when he gets to fight together with his father but since Batman left to do an important mission everything about the fun faded and it became a big responsibility....bratty Damian became more serious...he seldom smiles anymore....'

Alfred smile on the stairway while watching Damian laugh with Lucy he just walk ahead leaving them behind...

*-*-*

Roses are Red and Pink.......

Tap....Tap....Tap....

In the dark alleyway of Gotham her figure shelve through the brickwall while group of men are laying down on the ground unconcious and wounded particularly that big guy who once held and slam Lucy on the ground he's the most critical of them all and his joker mask? Shattered to pieces...

Vines slowly retreat back and follow her as she went out unscathed in the alleyway....

A shawl covering her head with a black cartwheel hat that had fresh pink rose pin on the side...black shades and another shawl to cover her attire.....

On her left hand will be Lucy's lighter...

One of those men were using it to lit a cigarette when she walk by on them earlier...it make her so pissed to think what they did on Lucy....

Another thing that makes her pissed is that robin guy who took Lucy...

She should be the only one to protect and Save Lucy...

But what matters now is Lucy is safe and she already beat up those guys...

Now she needs to go back to the greenhouse because she cant stand this horrendous place....

Rose Isley...

By her name you can already tell where she belongs to....

Yes, Daughter of Poison Ivy......
A plant life in a figure of a human...

Out of several experiments..out of thousands only three had became successful and she's one of it....the other two knew who they are but then decided to leave after their mother had left with Harley Quinn..

Before leaving, Ivy Specifically reminded her to always listen to Lucy.....listen to Lucy so she can guide her  because Lucy will be the Only human who will stay and be with her Always..

Pamela smiled and kiss her head and told her that she's leaving....

She's crying and call for her mama but she faded out leaving her with plants....

-

"where have you been gurl?"

It was the first thing she heard when she open the door of the greenhouse..

"Just out there frank" she lazily replied removing her shawl and cartwheel hat...

She only left her planty undies....

Her pinkish skin had felt some soothing energy when a bedsize plant catch her when she lay down on it....

"You were really revealing youreself out there" another voice came in unannounced

Rose click her tongue hearing that voice....

"Frank" she called the plant who cant hear her anymore because he's on headset...

She raise her body a little to confirm the woman who is already on a soft red and black one seater couch...

"Dont sit there" her voice is calm but deadly if you wont be fast to understand her tone..

The woman in black leather jacket had dust off and shrug her shoulders and stood up from the couch...

"What? She's not even here" she's quite mocking.. .

Her plant bed had slowly led her down...

"Frank is too trustful to let you in" she said...

The woman look up then back to Rose..

"And youre too childish"

"oh please" Rose roll her eyes in the incoming advisory words from Helena Wayne...

"all those scoops and headlines are now being about you and it already caught my brother's attention"

Just expected she started....

Rose remove the headset froM Frank..

"Hey!" the plant had realize the conversation and how Rose looks like...

"Oops" he started laughin...

"Give Helen some herbs frank"

Frank chuckle...

"To calm down her Cakehole?"

"Precisely"

She turn back to Helena...

"now where were we?" Rose really wont listen...

Helena breathed out and try to calm herself...

She's a daily reporter of Gotham news she chose that profession to look out for Gothams infos...

"By the way can you tell youre brother to just mind his own business?" Rose sounds irritated just by remembering that Damian save Lucy first...

Helena cant believe this? She's more worried for that?

"What ya jealous?"

Rose Squinted......

"Nope"

Helena look behind her and about to sit when she fell flat on the grass when some vines pull the Red and black one seater couch away..

Seriously?

"Seat somewhere" Rose warned...

Another puffed out air from helena..

This childish plant...

She cross her arms and took a calm posture....

"No need..ill stand"

"good"

That red and black One seater couch is reserved for Lucy once she gets to know her..once she visits their home...

Her mom always say that Lucy also owns this house and she will live here to be with her...

"Hey"

Now Helena seems calm...

Rose look at her...

"What?"

She look down then back to Rose as she seem to hesitate....

"Are you sure were not going to tell her?"

Rose look up and saw the clouds from above the greenhouse and look down from the grass...

They had already try several ways to give hint to Lucy but she wont really get it...

Getting inside her dream?

They did that....

Rose wants  Lucy to know it herself...

She always hears Lucy's voice from the planted plant that stays still on her room...pink petals follow Lucy everywhere......

"Do you think that she can handle being like this?"

Rose gritted her teeth as Helena slams her with some truth...

Helena is glitching like some kind of data.....

"We arent normal Rose but Lucy?"

Helena still glitchs....

Some vines tries to strap the glitching helena but they cant grasp her...

The glitch Switch beside Rose...

"she wants a normal life"

Her voice fades in the air as she glitched away....

Rose calm herself down....

She stood there alone....

Humans are the worst..............

She walk on the plant bed where she lies down earlier...

Her hand grasp the lighter and put it in her chest and held it for a minute before she walk and stop in front of the one seater couch....

She place it on top of the couch...

Her eyes remain on it and slowly her lips form some smile....

"I can wait Lou but sometimes im so eager for you to know who i am"

Her hand touch the rest of the couch..

"how its like for you to smile because of me......i want to calm you down when you cant stop laughing...."

Her eyes is full of longing....

"I want you to call my name and held it in youre heart to keep it safe..."

Frank shook her head while she watch Rose caressing the red and black couch....

"Just like youre mom both crazy in those quinn"

The screen turns black....

" Lou"

"Lou"

' Why do you kept calling my name? '

Its just dark and nothing else to see......but the sound of voices that search for her ...

Then the screen turns to her, Lucy Quinzel walking on the street to take the bus....

Its time for her school and its been three weeks since that slamming incident...theres still scratches but she's fine now....

Time for some normal day.....

Its odd for the bus not to be here because its the schedule arrival time...
It's also odd that theres really no one but a woman who is plainly covered in scarf and wearing some cap...

Its utterly weird but nevermind....

"Lou"

That voice...she look side by side but theres no one...is that her imagination?

She sat back to wait for the bus while the woman just stood there...

She didnt mind her...

"Lou"

That voice again....
She shook her head to make it go away...
She really woke up on the wrong side of the bed huh?...

Finally the bus is approaching...
She can already hear the students laughing from inside....

She stood up from the benches and grip her bag to go in the bus...

The door swish open and she run inside....

As she walk to find a seat her eyes catch a glimpse of the woman who didnt move from the stop..

The bus driver ask the woman several times but she just stay still...

"suit youreself" he said....

Lucy stood still inside then as the bus move she can see the woman singing that nursery rhyme outside the window...she had that dark and low tone of singing

🎶 the wheels on the bus go round and round....round and round..🎶

Lucy about to reach the end of the seats had stop as she saw something blinking from the deep end of the last seat on the corner......
When her eyes confirm what it was.

She harshly turn around to immediately get to the driver...

"Stop the bus!!" she shouted making everyones attention on her...

They all look at her weirdly...

She's grasping for something that she didnt know what...

"Stop the bus!!"

The driver had push her when she try to stop him...

"there's a bomb!"

Now she said it making everyone inside on panic....

And before anyone can move...

🎶 All through the town 🎶

A loud explosion just made the whole bus crash....

It hit a big oak tree....

It created a big fire and everyone inside is dead except......her.

It was a gloomy side of a forest roadway just tracks away from gotham high...

There's no people on that side of the road  and the bus is on wreck....

Out of everyone she had woken up with shards of glass stab on her shoulder...she cant even remove it...

Her breath is catching away from her..

She's bleeding from her head...

And when humanity process the whole place she's in.. thats when horror rush through her whole body..

She try to reach for her phone on her pocket but instead of a phone its a switch of some sort....

She look at each of the people but theres no sign of someone alive...

Her body unable to move....

In the end she just felt her body falling down that she just let it...

A pink petal flew by inside the wrecked bus....

So much for normal life?

" Youre living in Gotham Quinn it will never be normal"

Her eyes shut open only to feel the hard and cold floor....

The whole scenario was fast....

She's now inside an isolation room in handcuffs....

Not even in the process of where she is a jailguard had open the door...

Something beep on the door and a man with glasses and quite refined with his suit enter her room...

"where am i? And who are you? Whats happening?"

Her stress in her voice had function down on her head making her feel the pain on it...

She's wounded but been treated and now she's detained...

"easy on the questions right there kid"

The man scoop down and grab her next...

Lucy was taken by surprise when all of  a sudden his calmness turned furious...

"I thought i heard youre name somewhere until i saw you now and i realize who you are?"

His grip is tightening....she's choking and the lady guard can see it from the glass window where she's detain bit she aint doing anything..

"You look like that crazy lunatic harley Quinn?!" he spat on him and let her go...

Lucy catch her own breath and held her neck as she cough...

"Did you know what you did?!?"

Why are they so mad at her?!? She thought as she look at them..even the lady jailguard had her eyes looking down on her with so much anger...

She tried to raise herself up to even have a proper position of sitting...

He didnt wait for her respond...

"Youre a criminal!!! You blew up that bus killing everyone inside"

Huh?

Her breath hitch...stop...

She froze....

His voice?

She cant hear it anymore...

Criminal? Me?

Her cheek suddenly move on its own..

That bus?

That man's daughter?

That Jailguard's husband?

A sound of her sneering started...

Damnit i just want a normal life!

The man move aback as Lucy started laughing....the laugh turned louder and louder that no one can stop it...

Im Lucy Quinzel this city's Soon to be Princess of Crime....
