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

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

Chapter 70 Chapter 70 [VIP]

Poison Ivy comforted the sad and upset child, but she had no better way to tell her what was right and what was wrong. If you think about it carefully, she has had a clear self-awareness for less than a year, especially considering that her 'guardian' is the Joker. If she intervenes without authorization, Megan's situation may become worse.

After all, the Joker would never be happy if someone went beyond his control to influence Megan. He has a strong possessiveness, just like when it comes to Batman, he is not generous at all.

After all, she still has to grow up, and if she is lucky enough, she will have a long future. During this process, Poison Ivy will also take care of her. She is not stingy in showing kindness and giving shelter to a young child.

She had thought about many things a long time ago, and now she let her plants play with Megan. The Piranha Plant was the most active one among them. It would actively spread its vines and find its friendly and harmless friends to play with.

The Piranha Plant is undoubtedly ferocious and ferocious when attacking, but it is also very successful when it closes its petals and calyx and pretends to be a harmless plant. It will also open its small buds that have no offensive power for Megan and use itself to coax its friends. Now they are gathered together, and the Piranha Plant forms a circle around its vines, trapping Megan inside.

No one knew what the two little cuties were playing, and Poison Ivy didn't care. She was preparing plant nutrient solution. For her, except for certain toxins and viruses that needed to be carefully cultivated in the laboratory, there was no need for sophisticated instruments at other times. She could accurately estimate the dosage and effect of the medicine and get started directly.

She didn't even need an operating table. Poison Ivy prepared everything in front of a shelf that held her daily potions, just a few small bottles, which she would dilute in the greenhouse.

After finishing her work, Poison Ivy walked towards them and saw Megan holding a colored paintbrush in her hand, painting a smiley face on the vine leaves?

But the smiling face drawn by the child was completely different from the one drawn by her father. Her brushstrokes were childish and cute, and the sun was shining brightly. The Piranha plant she played with had vines wrapped around it. After Megan finished drawing a leaf, she would extend another leaf. They all had a lot of fun.

Poison Ivy looked at it for a while, then called the Piranha Plant back and asked Megan, "Would you like to water the flowers with me?"

Megan rolled down from the hammock, but her movements were a bit clumsy and she almost fell when she landed. It was the vines around her that wrapped around her waist and lifted her up, allowing her to stand up.

"Pammy, we have to go." Megan raised one hand high.

Pamela Isley smiled and waved at her, "Come here, okay?" So the child raised her hand and trotted over happily. Finally, she held her hand contentedly and they walked together hand in hand.

Megan always lost her emotions after crying, and now she was eager to water the flowers. When she arrived at the greenhouse, Poison Ivy diluted the nutrient solution in a small kettle for her and specified which plants she should water. She then carried the small kettle over and completed her "job" very seriously.

When the Joker isn't in Arkham, Megan often stays with Poison Ivy, and they have done so many times.

And at night, she sleeps with Poison Ivy.

The red-haired woman leaned against the head of the bed, her face was beautiful and aggressive, but she behaved gently in front of Megan as always, twisting a strand of hair in her hand and watching her movements tolerantly.

Megan was a lovely child. She changed into pajamas with a teddy bear printed on them and searched for a small medicine bottle among her clothes. Just as she was about to take the medicine, Poison Ivy asked, "Can you show me your medicine?"

Megan held the medicine bottle and looked at her. Poison Ivy seemed to know her question, "Good girl, I'm just worried that you are sick. How long will it take you to get better?" She had also heard Scarecrow's analysis of Megan's illness and mental state. She seemed to be getting better quickly and there was nothing wrong, but this was not normal.

Poison Ivy isn't just good at manipulating plants; she's also quite knowledgeable in biochemistry. Her ability to cultivate mutant plants isn't just based on luck, and she often cultivates bacteria and fungi...

The latter two items brought her a lot of benefits and made her situation in Arkham much better than other criminals.

Now Megan handed the medicine bottle to her. Poison Ivy carefully took out a pill and tried to analyze the ingredients. Starch and water were the easiest to analyze, but her face became increasingly heavy. There were ingredients in the pill that she didn't recognize at all, and that thing didn't give her a very good feeling.

But she looked at Megan, and saw the child staring at the medicine bottle and pills and trying to take them back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with taking medicine every day. Although Poison Ivy was not very reassured, she saw Megan frowning unconsciously as time passed, and even rubbed her forehead with her hand, so she returned the things.

Megan's movements became a little slow. She took it slowly, moved over slowly to drink the medicine, then lay on the small table to rest for a long time before coming back passionately.

She grabbed a pillow and hugged it in her arms, ran to the bed, and held out a hand to Poison Ivy, who smiled and pulled her onto the bed indulgently.

Megan's body had grown flesh and felt soft to the touch. Poison Ivy hugged her and touched her cheek. After being touched a few times, the child said, "Ah!" and tried to bite the adult's hand, but this was just a playful act.

"Like a puppy," said Poison Ivy.

Megan didn't like dogs very much because she didn't have a good dog friend yet. She was not convinced, so she pouted her lips and meowed in a clear and loud voice, which was the sound of "kitty cares about you", which was the way her cat friend called her before.

Poison Ivy was very soft-hearted and kissed her cheek, "Good girl..."

You have to grow up and you have to be happy.

After Megan finished taking her pills, she saw her father. He didn't tell her when he would be back, but she could tell the answer by counting the pills! Everything was unspoken, a little tacit understanding between this father and daughter, known only to each other.

The clown came back in a bad mood, wearing the uniform of an Arkham cleaner. He took off his hat as he walked and waved to Megan outside the greenhouse, but he didn't think that Megan couldn't see him at all from that angle. But it didn't matter, the child seemed to have telepathy or premonition. Before he withdrew his hand, she turned around and saw him while climbing the flower rack.

When Megan is emotional, even if her facial expression is not very obvious, her actions and even her spirit can express it. She suddenly becomes enthusiastic and trots to Poison Ivy, "Patmy, Padmy!" She is like a little animal.

Poison Ivy also saw the figure. She certainly didn't have a good impression of the Joker, but she smiled at Megan and said, "Okay, I know your father is back. Go find him."

Then Megan ran out with her pigtails swinging to her dear daddy.

The clown looked down and saw the small flower clip on her head. He said with interest, "Do you like getting along with people?" It seemed that Megan had a lot of fun during the time he was away. After all, facing him every day and looking at his pale and hideous face was really enough. Who wouldn't want to take a breath!

Megan, who was standing opposite him, did not respond. After a while, she looked up at him. He was the only one in her clear eyes. She felt a little aggrieved. "Dad,"

He became impatient again and put the hat back on his head. "What's wrong with you?"

Very good, such a familiar conversation, it immediately reminded the Joker of her bad habit of never speaking up and having to wait for him to ask. Could this prove his love for her? Was a little patience proof of love?

This is the extremely weird thinking logic that only children have, but Megan is just a child who has not grown up!

Megan was looked at by the clown with her head tilted. She raised her other hand and made a gesture to ask for a hug, "Dad, I miss you." She also leaned forward, ready to be hugged.

The clown looked at her with a broad smile, seemingly unmoved. However, he was a good father who would compromise for his beloved child. He bent down with a flamboyant and pretentious gesture and picked her up, but he couldn't help but complain: "I hope you still remember that you are eleven years old, not a little child."

Generally, eleven-year-olds tend to be independent, hoping to have their self-awareness respected and to obtain equal status and treatment with adults, or they have begun to develop and enter puberty, but Megan...

She looks very young, just over 1.3 meters tall and weighing 27 kg. Compared with the clown, she has hardly changed and does not look like a child of this age.

These were all left over from her previous physical problems: slow development and malnutrition. The latter problem was slowly being made up, but she couldn't grow taller all at once, so she still looked like an average child of eight or nine years old, with a spoiled childish look.

Unless she is given growth hormone—

But the Joker had no such intention. He heard Megan repeat slowly: "Eleven years old..." So what's wrong with that?

Megan asked, "Dad, when is my birthday?" She would not be eleven until her birthday, but she did not know her birthday.

The Joker was not happy with her constant fussing about these insignificant issues, so he decided to advise the child, "Don't be so serious, Megan. You know I don't have time to pay attention to this." He was a very busy man.

But when he mentioned that he was busy, Megan became curious. Apparently, she remembered that the Joker took Two-Face with him before leaving. She hugged the Joker's neck and asked the others, "Where is Harvey?"

The clown just curled his lips and ignored it.

When he arrived at his cell, he sighed and said, "You ask too many questions. They're already annoying me, kid." But he didn't say this on impulse, but had planned it long ago.

So, what kind of future would Megan have under his plan? In short, Arkham was no longer suitable for her. She had been allowed to stay there before because there were good, free babysitters and the environment was more suitable for her, allowing her to open up her closed world and break free. But look at her now—

She is smarter now. If he doesn't take her away, she will become a target for other criminals and cause trouble for him, just like this time.
