That night Cleo awoke to a very loud bang, bolting up from her bed Jefferson followed closely next to her. Slowly making her way into Ivy's room she instantly got alarmed when Harley was no where to be seen.
Slapping Ivy lightly she was confused when she had no reaction, shaking her shoulders she got insanely worried when there was absolutely no response. Ivy never went into a deep sleep like this, and where was Harley?
There was a bang from the living room and both of them bolted out of the room, sitting in the middle of the room there present with green and purple wrapping, Jokers colors.
"That fucking bastard!" Jefferson gave a small yap. "Yes I know Ivy was right about my language, but now is not the time to be making jokes."
Cleo cautiously opened the box, only to find a small doll that was no doubt a replica of Harley, a baby rattle in his colours and a note attached.
A new addition to the family? Can't wait to meet the baby clown. Come alone with no weapons or they both go BOOM, you know where to find me.
"Jefferson, time to get our costumes!"

Approaching Jokers secret hideout at the very edge of Gotham, Trickster gave a small low whistle. Her eyes feasted upon the birthstone-blue stars shimmering and glowing, like scattered moon dust in the sky and the young villain would've found it almost calming, if It weren't for the fact she spotted Harley tied to a rocket at the top of the abandoned building.
Trickster aimed her dragon cane so that when she pressed a button the head sprang up and attached to the ledge of the roof. Trickster pulled herself up and instantly ran to Harley and tried to untie her.
"Stop what you're doing." she heard a raspy voice behind her, she turned only to see Joker pointing a gun at her.
"Move away from Harley and leave the cane there; or, I kill the baby." he ordered and Trickster had no choice so she slowly put the cane down and backed away from Harley.
Nobody thought that Joker could sense the wolf approaching behind him ready to pounce on him but as Jefferson leapead his black cape flying up in the air as he jumped, Joker turned and shot the wolf there was blood all over Jefferson's right ear.
"JEFFERSON!" this wasn't Trickster no, this was Cleo, for a second she changed into her normal self but she had to stay focused if she was going to save Harley. Joker started to run around laughing manically he threw the gun at Trickster and pulled out another one pointing it at Harley.
"Now Tricksy I want you to shoot yourself, I want you to make your brains go BOOM! Do this and I spare Harley and the baby's life" he laughed emphasising the boom. Trickster picked up the gun and held it to her head she slowly pressed down on the trigger 'Claw as soon as I pull the trigger you know what to do' she thought to herself, she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.
BANG

Ivy awoke to silence but she started to panic when she didn't feel Harley beside her but a note.
Ivy don't worry okay? Joker has taken Harley, me and Jefferson have gone after her I would've woken you up but Joker drugged you basically put you in a 5 hour coma. I've left Sapphire here and there's a computer in the living room I've made it watch and track my every move if something terrible happens you can get here as fast as possible.
-T
Ivy bolted up and into the living room the only thing that she saw was Trickster holding a gun to her own head.
"Now Tricksy, I want you to shoot yourself, I want you to make your brains go BOOM!, do this and I will spare Harley and the baby's life" Ivy heard Joke say and without thinking she found out where they were and jumped on Sapphires back.

BANG!
Ivy got their as Trickster pulled the trigger, her body dropped to the floor and her hat came sprawling off her head and onto the roof of the old building, she was angry and wanted to kill Joker, she was even angrier when she saw Jefferson bleeding in the corner and Harley tied to the rocket in tears.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Ivy shouted.
"Ivy! how nice for you to join the party." laughed Joker.
"IM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU LOW LIFED PRICK!" Ivy said approaching him with her fist clenched.
"Now now Ivy, stop or I'll pull this trigger making that rocket go, BOOM" he laughed an evil laugh, Ivy stopped dead in her tracks.
Everything was silent, a roar suddenly came from Tricksters hat which got everyone's attention. A dragon started to emerge from the hat, and it's tail knocked Joker away from the trigger, the dragon took one look at it's owners body and started to roar angrily it locked eyes with Joker and it's eyes tuned a blood red. The dragon scratched Joker with his claw at first taking off an arm and then he picked up Joker in his teeth flew over the ocean and dropped him causing a splash in the water.
When the dragon returned he went over to Jefferson first to see if he was okay Jefferson was fine the bullet had just missed his eye and hit his ear but apart from that he was fine. Sapphire was curled up near Trickster nudging her and soon enough Jefferson and the dragon joined her. Ivy ran over to Harley and untied her from the rocket, Harley hugged Ivy tightly still in tears she wanted to stay like that forever but they both remembered Tricksters body.
Trickster was slowly staring to glow and in a second Trickster had turned back into the Cleo, Ivy checked for Cleo's pulse but....Cleo wasn't breathing she didn't have a pulse.
Cleo was dead.
