[[Lucien Lemuel Morningstar]]
"Who are you?"
Good question. Sometimes even I am confused about my name after all the name changes.
"I go by the name of Lucien Dawns." I answered as the woman turned her head around.
We were thousands of feet up in the sky and I looked no different than a villain kidnapping some damsel.
"Why did ya' help me?" She asked… her tone was a little funky.
She had a valid question but the answer was pretty simple.
"You seemed fun."
She was confused but as she was about to ask, her face paled.
Yeah, that happened even with all the powder that she wore. But it would be a lie if I said she wasn't pretty. She was built with a doll-like face and with the skills of a fighter.
But yes, she paled because there was a plane heading towards our way.
"Move! Move!"
She threw a fit in the sky which made me put on a smirk.
"Hang on tight."
Her eyes widened as I rushed straight towards the aeroplane.
"What are you doing?!?"
She closed her eyes from the fear, hoping to not die.
But once she opened her eyes, she was shocked.
"H-How?" She was baffled by the sight.
I barely used my Aerial Travel ability to move through the wind generated by the plane.
"Magic." I said.
"Wait? Like Zatanna?"
Wait what?
I instantly stopped moving and floated in the sky with her in my arms.
"You know… Zatanna?" I asked and she answered with a nod.
"I do. And is your magic the same as her?" She asked and I could see the excitement in her eyes.
Wasn't she scared just a second ago?
"Kind of." I said and moved towards a tall building.
As we reached the structure, I landed softly, making sure that it was not uncomfortable for the woman in the funny makeup.
However, the moment I landed, she leapt out of my arms and stood like she never had an injury.
"I am surprised." I said. "I expected you to take a little while before jumping around.
She giggled. "I have been through worse..." She paused and looked at me.
Please tell me that she hasn't forgotten my name just yet.
She kept staring at me with wide eyes and it was pretty apparent that she had forgotten my name.
"Definitely an airhead…"
"Hmm?"
Shaking my head I answered. "My name is Lucien Dawns. And I haven't gotten your name, Miss."
She giggled once again.
"Harley!" She chirruped. "Harley Quinn! And you better remember that name."
I hope you do the same.
But wait a damn second.
Harley Quinn… where have I heard that name?
As I was trying to remember where I saw her, she sighed.
"Puddin' would be angry at me since I wasn't there to welcome him. I should meet Rabbit soon and then go back."
"Pudding?"
As I repeated the name of the dessert, her face lit up.
"Yeah! My Puddin'! He got out of prison and must be waiting for me!"
Well, she sounds excited.
But…
"I still don't know who this pudding is?"
She seemed surprised. "Oh, I am stupid." She bonked her head with her knuckle. "He is the Joker!"
Ah, yes. Of course.
Fate, Zatanna and now Joker.
There are no normal people around me after all.
"The Clown Prince of Crime, huh?" I mumbled. "By puddin' do you mean… That he is your lover?"
She nodded excitedly.
So, she is his partner in crime. I have never seen her before but I have heard her name in a newspaper and that's why her name sounded so familiar.
However, that does make me wonder…
What do I do with her?
Joker is obviously a menace and a problem to get involved with. It will draw the attention of the League and Fate requested me to not do that.
Should I kill him? Joker is pretty weak and it is the naivety of the League that has kept him alive all this time. But if I do that… It will draw the League at my tail. And making an enemy out of the League is equivalent to making an enemy of the public.
Which sounds weird because killing Joker should make me a hero.
But then again… Humans are weird.
Eh, whatever. Let's hear her out. If anything happens… Fate will handle it.
"So, who were you meeting again?" I asked.
"White Rabbit!"
That is an interesting name.
"Want me to get you there?"
Not like I have anything better to do.
…
…
[[White Rabbit]]
White Rabbit was having a blast. She finally convinced Jaina to let her out after an entire week of nagging and now that she was free— she was ready to wreak havoc.
But as she sprinted through the roofs, she wondered when her friend, the Cupid of Crime was going to make an appearance.
She wasn't even sure if Harley would show up as she was obsessed with the Joker and now that the Lunatic was out, she doubted if Harley would even show up.
But she still hoped that the obsessed girl would show up.
.

.
And she didn't need to wait long.
"Raabbbiiiiittttt!"
*Swoop
"Harley?!?"
She was baffled by her friend leaping at her from mid-air.
But as the girl was about to crash onto her, she was stopped by a blonde boy.
"I believe you don't have any flight ability and that jump would have without a doubt, cost you a few bones."
He slowly brought Harley down towards Rabbit.
Harley wasn't affected by the fact that a boy was gripping her by her pants.
'He is pretty cute though…' Rabbit thought.
As they landed, Harley launched herself at Rabbit.
"How ya' been, Rabbit!"
'Just as energetic as ever.' Rabbit smiled, but she kept her eyes focused on the boy.
She could feel that he was powerful… and dangerous.
However, instead of it making her worried, she was growing interested in the boy.
"Who is the friend you have got, Harley?" She asked while checking out Lucien.
Lucien smiled. "The name's Lucien Dawns, a pleasure to meet you… Miss Rabbit."
"Miss Rabbit…" She mumbled. "I like that name."
She then looked at Harley. "But I still don't know what made you bring a friend with you?"
"He saved me from the Kiddie League!" Harley said which surprised Rabbit.
'The sidekicks of the League are nowhere near the actual League's level but for him to help Harley against them… He must be skilled.'
She shook her head.
"White Rabbit, but I believe you already know that." She smiled and extended her hand towards Lucien. "Thanks for helping, Harley."
Lucien kept his smile. "It was nothing special. I couldn't let a pretty woman get torched by some random kid, now could I?"
Both Rabbit and Harley giggled at that.
"You are an interesting guy." Rabbit said.
"That's a first." Lucien shrugged. "I have been called boring, not interesting."
"Then they are quite shortsighted." Rabbit said.
"So, anyways…" Harley looked at Lucien and then at Rabbit. "Whatcha' doin' next?"
Rabbit grinned. "Was planning to annoy the Green Lantern, what do you say?"
Harley's smile grew ten times bigger. "Count me in!"
They looked at Lucien.
"Want to join us?" Rabbit asked.
'Lantern? League? I would better not… But it does sound fun.' He thought. 'And Fate can always handle the backlash.'
He gave the girls a smile. "Sure, not like I have anything better to do."

[Earth (Alternate Version)]
Lucifer sat on a bench in his new form— wearing a suit with his newly altered black hair.
'I wonder what Lemuel is doing?' He sighed thinking about his son. 'Well, he is my son. He must be having fun.'
He took out a lighter from his pocket and proceeded to light a cigarette.
"I don't think you are allowed to smoke in here…"
Lucifer looked to his side to find a little girl looking at his lighter.
"Oh, dear what will become of me?"
He said, being sarcastic.
"My mother is a police officer. She could arrest you."
Lucifer looked at the little human with curiosity in his eyes. 'Quite an interesting creature.'
But he also remembered the woman who had intrigued him a while back.
"Oh, I think I might know your mother." He said, remembering the blonde beauty.
The girl was curious about the man.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Lucifer."
His answer surprised the little girl. "Like the devil?" She whispered.
'Oh, she knows about me?'
He smiled. "Exactly."
She looked down at the floor and then at him. "My name's Beatrice, but everybody calls me Trixie."
The Devil was surprised by the name that he heard. "That's a hooker's name." He said
"What's a hooker?" The curious little girl asked.
Lucifer sighed. 'Of course, she doesn't know. Humans are dumb.'
He remembered his son. 'Why can't everyone be like Lemuel?'
He looked at his phone. 'Maybe I should talk to Fate. Does a phone connect through dimensions?'
Deciding to talk with Fate later. He thought of talking with the little human in front of him to get rid of the boredom.
'She cannot be too bad right? After all, she is the detective's daughter.'
