The Joker Raises a Child, It's Fine, Really

Megan Damon is an autistic child personally picked up and raised by the Joker.

When she was little, due to her illness, she ignored everyone. When she grew a bit older, she asked the Joker, &...

Megan had a good memory and certainly remembered what the Riddler had taught her. So after the test, the Riddler waved at her and said, "I guess you'll be looking for another teacher. So there's no need to stay with me. I still need to think carefully about what I can teach you and how to teach you."

The Riddler's normal career didn't last very long, and he had little experience in teaching students. He had played with Megan before because he was bored in prison and was looking for something to do. So the child cooperated, and they played together for a while.

But the puzzles he set for Megan were too simple, because he was alert enough to remind himself not to let his arrogance come to the Joker's daughter, otherwise he would end up in a more tragic situation than the previous one.

So he thought seriously about the teaching issue. As for why he decided to teach the child, as Scarecrow said, Megan was a little star in Arkham.

Even though she is the Joker's child, she is the only patient here who has been cured and can go out and show her skills with a legitimate identity. The Joker is the only stain on her resume. Even if her identity is accidentally revealed, the Joker will definitely be able to solve her problem in a timely manner.

Besides, the Riddler also wanted to see how far he could influence the child. This was his new game, and the Joker had invited him first, so he didn't hesitate.

Many thoughts raced through his mind, but when he came to his senses, he saw that Megan hadn't left yet. He thought for a moment and gave another reminder: "Remember to find Two-Face. He will teach you about the law, and he may even have to remind you—"

"Don't break the law, or you'll really have to come in and keep us company, which is not a good thing. Even if you like your father and miss our group of friends, don't come in through this channel. Don't come."

The Riddler was a chatterbox sometimes, and he found himself laughing uncontrollably as he spoke. He looked down at Megan, who didn't understand, and turned her around manually, so that she was facing the door of his cell.

"Leave immediately and find someone. Don't stay here for long."

"You..." Megan tried to speak, but the Riddler interrupted her decisively: "Although the weather is getting warmer and summer is coming, I still feel a little cold with the door open all the time. Or you can think of this as my quirk. I don't like uninvited guests to stay too long, you understand?"

He was eager to send her away, but Megan just followed his force until she reached the door and stopped moving. She turned around and said, "Oh, you're planning to escape from prison, and you don't want anyone to know."

The Riddler and Megan looked at each other, and finally he spread his hands, "You guessed it, so are you going to tell others?"

He always keeps a dignified demeanor, but his acting skills are not good, and sometimes he would do irrational and unemotional things to ruin his plans. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, but he feels that there are no flaws during this period. It would be bad if the child in front of him learns to be as moody as the clown, and he is really worried that the clown will lead her astray.

Meghan saw the tension on his face, but shook her head and pretended to be confused and said, "How should I know what you are going to do, but I still have a question."

Nothing to do with romance

"Edward, if a person is not visually impaired, why can't he see everyone in the world?"

The Riddler was stunned for a moment, then sneered. He saw Megan throw down a question and turn away without waiting for his answer. She had her own personality, but at least she was not as hypocritical as the others in Arkham, nor was she that annoying.

After saying goodbye to the Riddler, Megan went to find Two-Face as he had said.

When she went there, Two-Face was in his cell, searching for books on the shelf. Megan was peeking at the door, and was undoubtedly noticed by Two-Face, who waved to her, "Come in, Megan."

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Two-Face was not surprised by this. He knew that Megan was out at school, and today was Tuesday. If nothing happened, the Joker would not bring her back. But if nothing happened in Gotham City, did that mean something happened to Megan?

Considering the fact that the Joker had opened a company for Megan, he guessed that it would probably be Megan's future toy, but its instruction manual was too long and had very strict skill requirements. Without reading the manual and mastering the relevant skills, Megan could not hold it in her hands and play with it.

Megan sat down on his chair as soon as she entered the room, swinging her dangling legs, looking carefree. It would be normal for an ordinary family to raise a child like this, but what on earth did the Joker consider in raising her like this?

Meghan had no idea what he was thinking, and nodded: "Well, Edward said you can teach me legal knowledge."

It sounds like they are going to start a training class in Arkham, or a special training class for individual players?

Two-Face stared at her. Originally expressionless, he suddenly smiled. The two sides, created by the sulfuric acid, gave people vastly different feelings, making him look strange. He placed the thick book he was opening back on the shelf and walked to the table. "Did the Joker send you here? He thought we would all help you."

He spoke in a straightforward tone, but he no longer looked at Megan, instead falling into a state of deep thought. As for the riddler Megan mentioned? From the child's tone, she already had the teacher in her corner. So the other party intended to facilitate a 'crash course in financial literacy', and then they would teach the child and help her company grow step by step?

This is a strange thing, as many criminals think -

The Joker already has his own gang, but is he really setting up his company just for Megan? Is there a deeper purpose that hasn't been revealed?

As a smart person, it's inevitable that he overthinks things. Two-Face finally said slowly, "If you're not planning on breaking the law, then there's no need for me to teach you anything. Perhaps if you run into trouble, I can offer you some legal advice."

It would be better to let the company's legal department communicate with him instead of asking him to teach Megan. Two-Face knows that everyone has their own expertise. Once people invest too much in one aspect, they will involuntarily ignore other aspects. There are few people in the world who can be omnipotent in many aspects like Batman.

Two-Face had already declined, but Megan didn't leave. She held her head high and discussed with him, "Then you can recommend some regulations and legal provisions regarding machinery, electronic manufacturing, and sewage discharge to me."

Two-Face suddenly seemed to understand something. He smiled and asked noncommittally, "You're still planning on being a good person?" Did the Joker allow her to do this? Or was it her own little trick?

He didn't know Megan, nor were they friends, so he didn't know Megan's ambitions. But after just a brief conversation, he learned from Megan's words that her choice might go against the Joker's. But it was rare for the Joker to have such patience, so he also smiled slightly.

"It's a simple matter. I'll ask someone to send the information to you."

The day was limited, and the last person Megan went to see was Bain.

When she arrived, Bane was training, but he had anticipated the arrival of a child, so he had put on his prison uniform. Training had just come to an end. After doing push-ups, he stood up from the floor and casually picked up a towel from the rack nearby to wipe the sweat off his body. These exercises didn't require any stretching or cooling down for him. He threw the towel onto the rack and said, "Let's talk outside."

Two friends, one big and one small, went out together. They came to the lawn in the high-risk area. There was no one here, let alone those small devices with eavesdropping and surveillance functions. Poison Ivy might be paying attention to the situation here, but Bane was not shy about it.

He said, "Our last meeting was too hasty. I should have congratulated you properly."

But Megan didn't think so. "I'm so happy that you and Waylon and the others came to White Bear." She was a child who was easily satisfied. She felt happy just because they were there. The gifts were just icing on the cake and could not be compared with seeing her friends and their blessings to her.

Bain knew her well enough to not be surprised. As for the fact that he had only given Megan a white bear stuffed animal, he sat down on the lawn and said calmly, "I promise you, as long as you need me, I will help you once, no matter what your request is."

Megan also sat next to him. They both sat cross-legged. Although it was unhealthy and bad for the lumbar spine, after getting used to it, they found it very comfortable. But Bane's posture looked heroic and neat, while Megan's just looked cute.

After thinking about it, she leaned closer to Bain and said stealthily, "Can you pull out the two trees in the middle of the lawn?"

Although her words were just a joke, they were extremely harsh. Bain and she looked at each other. Of course, he saw the mischievous look on the child's face and was speechless for a moment.

"...learn less from your father when it comes to language arts." This was exceptionally sincere and well-intentioned advice.

Bane was rarely so sincere, but he also laughed as he spoke, "You've become more lively and learned to make jokes, but does Poison Ivy have any objections to you saying this?"

Megan said, "Pammy knows I was joking, and she knows you wouldn't do that, but I won't say that next time." She could understand Bain's good intentions and of course would not let him down.

Because of her joke, the previous topic was skipped and no longer discussed. Megan touched the grass with her hand and lay back. She looked at the sky with layers of clouds and no sun. She stretched out her legs that were originally crossed and waved her hands and feet childishly.

Bane caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye and smiled silently.

As they said goodbye, Bain said, "If you want to manage a group of people, then you need to establish a good character. Don't imagine that kindness alone can win over talented people and convince them. You may not need to use those methods now, but you must learn early and learn to avoid risks."

"I'll send you a letter, or you can write to me if you have any questions."

When Megan was released from Arkham Asylum, her classes and things that required her to worry about not only did not decrease, but increased. She had to run home or go directly to White Bear after class every day. Fortunately, her elective Spanish course was making good progress under Jason's tutoring. She only had to complete the class assignments and did not have to take make-up classes, which saved her some time.

How busy was she? She only hung out with Robin twice a week at most, and even had Jason hand in her study notes most of the time.

Megan didn't know why her schedule was so tight. Not only did the Riddler annoy her, but Two-Face also annoyed her. Bane was a little bit better, but later there was Scarecrow, who was the most annoying one. He talked a lot of trash when he called her, and he was either sarcastic or pretending to be provocative. He didn't think there was anything wrong with bullying children.

It wasn't until the end of the semester, when the extracurricular tutoring gradually relaxed, that Megan finally came to her senses.

Then the little bear got angry.

The child, who was slow to react but not very stupid, went to White Bear to find Arthur after school. As soon as she entered the chairman's office, she didn't say a word, but burst into tears and sobbed, looking very aggrieved.

Megan cried more and more aggrieved, and she stood at the door, not moving an inch. So what could Arthur, who was originally handling company affairs in the office, do? He put down the documents and pen in his hand and walked over to the sad child. As soon as he got close, Megan shouted, "You are bad!"

Her father didn't understand what she meant. He took out a tissue from his inside suit pocket and wiped her tears, asking, "What's wrong?"

He still didn't understand what it meant and remained calm, without any weirdness or pretense. After all, he didn't do it, he just knew about it but didn't stop it.

He made this gesture, but didn't Meghan know it?

"You're just bad! You're all bad!" Little Bear was so angry that she started crying. She had been curious about why the clown had given her new medicine when her classes had just increased, but now, what else could she not figure out? They were all bad!

Megan sobbed, and she punched Arthur in frustration. Arthur ignored her little action and pondered for a moment, "I thought you would have noticed the problem earlier?"

But in fact, his children are not so perceptive, or perhaps Megan trusts him too much, so she easily accepts his arrangements without any questioning or resistance. But doesn't she know that she is too busy and should plan her time more reasonably and proactively?

Arthur: "This is not a good sign, Megan. You are too easily manipulated, not only by me, but also by those in Arkham."

"Maybe I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but they wanted more."

These earnest words could not fool Megan. She felt that this was Arthur's excuse. The tears on her face had not yet been wiped away. She looked up at Arthur and said very unhappily: "So you only say it's my fault and not yours."

How could he not be wrong?

The author has something to say:

Megan: From today on, I will rebel, disobey discipline, and stay out all night.

Your dad is going to explode.
