???: Oyez. Oyez.

Arnold Wesker AKA The Ventriloquist spoke softly while holding his puppet, Scarface. While Arnold was spending his time in Arkham asylum, He successfully crafted another puppet, which is the same as the old Scarface. Everyone stared at him as the crowd of inmates continued cheering loudly until Scarface said something

Scarface: He says, "Oyez," dirt bags! Dummy up! Sheesh! *Looks at Arnold* I gotta do everything for you.

It was abrupt silence as Scarface continued his speech.

Scarface: The court is now in session, the good people of Arkham Asylum versus the self-righteous vigilante called Batwoman and the self claimed hero, The White Wolf. Our prosecutor is ready.

The prosecutor, Two Face. was flipping his coin while staring at everyone as Scarface continued speaking.

Scarface: Likewise, our fair and impartial jury.

It showed Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, and Mad Hatter sitting in their chairs as they were excited to see what happened in this case.

Harley: Electrocute them!

Ivy: Shoot them!

Croc: Hit them with a rock!

Scarface: And now all rise for the most honorable, most benevolent, most merciful. . . .Judge Joker.

Arnold walked away as Joker had a huge smile on his face. Everyone began cheering and clapping for the Joker as He sat down and immediately slammed his hammer on the table

Joker: Guilty!

Janet: *Gets up from her seat* I was promised a chance
to defend my clients!

Joker: *Frowns* Oh, very well, like it'll make a difference. Mr. Prosecutor, Make your opening statement.

Two-Face got up from his chair and looked around before he began speaking.

Two Face: Look at us, We're all freaks and monsters and who made us this way?. . . Batwoman.

He pointed at Anne as she narrowed her eyes as the crowd began cheering again, Janet looked at Batwoman and Bucky and felt a hint of sympathy before shaking it off, That was until Scarecrow grabbed her and told her to get up as Janet made her way towards the judge.

Two Face: Go on, lady. Defend them if you can. Call the first witness.

Scarface: Yo, Hat. On the stand!

Joker: *Smiles* Proceed, counselor.

Janet stared at Joker before looking at Jervis, who took his seat and smiled at her, Janet gritted her teeth, knowing she had to defend a vigilante in order to get out of this.

Janet: I suppose you, like your friends, claim that Batwoman
drove you to be a criminal?

Mad Hatter: She did.

Janet: And yet, as I recall your case, you brainwashed and kidnapped a woman who rejected you and wanted her to live in your fairytales

Mad Hatter: Batwoman forced me to do it. She was going to take her away from me, I had no choice!

Janet: You could have respected her wishes and left her alone.

Mad hatter: I'd have k*lled her first!

He snapped until Hatter realised what he said, Jervis quickly walked over to Joker and whispered to him.

Jervis: I'd like that last statement
stricken from the record, please.

Joker: Record? Is someone supposed to be writing this down?

Joker looked around in confusion as Anne and Bucky stared at him from a distance as Janet crossed her arms and looked at the judge.

Soon, Janet took her seat next to Batwoman as Van dorn facepalmed and felt stressed out, She couldn't believe what she was doing right now.

Janet: This is. . .crazy.

Batwoman: That's beside the point.
Just keep it going.

She whispered to Janet as Van Dorn glared at her but knew she was right, They had to play along for now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Benjamin, Alex and Jack were seen at the empty courthouse, They knew Batwoman and Bucky were suppose to be here since they had a hunch that Janet was in the courthouse, However there was no sign of any of them which did worry the team.

Alex: They're not here.

Jack: That doesn't seem right.

Benjamin: Do you think their assumption was wrong? Maybe they went somewhere else.

Alex stepped on something and noticed it was a batarang as he picked it up and examined it.

Alex: No. . . They were here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Janet: *Stares in anger* I object to this witness.

After Killer Croc and Scarecrow's statements, It was now Harley's turn. However she was seen cuddling with the Joker as Janet said something.

Janet: She's obviously trying
to influence the judge.

Joker: *Looks shocked* What makes you say that?

Janet: *Sighs* Never mind. . . . Do you have a statement?

Harley: I just wanna say, if there was no Batwoman. There'd be no Joker. And I'd never have met my pudding. Thank you, Batwoman!

Anne's mind: So you're not gonna acknowledge how your puddin kicked you off the window?

Bucky also had the same thought on his head but he continued watching the court in session as he looked over to his trapped arm before Janet began speaking.

Janet: Sad, isn't it? Harleen Quinzel was a doctor here at Arkham, Until the Joker twisted her mind.

Harley: Ha! You're just jealous
because you don't have a fella, who's as loving and loyal to you as my puddin is to me.

Joker blew a kiss to her as Harley squealed and fainted on the chair, Janet had a smirk on her face and had an idea as she took a few steps forward to Harley.

Janet: Uh-huh. And I suppose it was that same loyalty I saw the last time you escaped and pudding here. . .

Joker knew what she was going to say as he felt nervous and told her to stop, but Janet spilled the truth out.

Janet: Finked on you, in hopes of getting time off.

Harley: *Gasps* Is that true, pudding?

Joker: *Gives a nervous smile* "Finked" is such an ugly word.

Suddenly Harley grabbed him by his coat and began yelling at him as Joker was scared.

Harley: You lousy scum-sucking creep!

Joker: The witness is excused!

Harley continued yelling and insulting him until Croc grabbed her and carried her over his shoulder and began walking away as Joker fixed his hair and heard Harley threatening him.

Harley: I'II kick that grin off your silly face!!!

Soon, Pamela was seen talking about her view on the two vigilantes, Joker was reading a magazine while Janet was speaking to Ivy.

Janet: And so it's Batwoman's fault
you lead a life of crime.

Ivy: She should have let me bump off Harvey Dent. . We'd all have been better off, Wouldn't we, Harv?

She spoke with sultry as Two Face was glaring at her while flipping his coin

Two Face: Why, you rotten little-

Janet: But, Ms. Isley, isn't the real motivation for your crimes is your obsession with plants? That you prefer them over people?

Ivy: I love plants, honey, but a rose is a rose.

Janet: Then it doesn't bother you when someone, let's say the judge, for example, ruthlessly plucks a defenceless flower from the warm green earth?

She grabbed a flower that was on Joker's coat as he looked confused and shocked, Janet slowly crushed the flower with her hand as Pamela stared in shock and felt pain.

Pamela: No-

Janet: Even knowing he's given it
his death sentence? That its petals must die? One by one.

She began removing the petals as Pamela clenched her fist tightly.

Pamela: Stop it.

Janet: Withering, falling. One by one, until it's all gone-

Pamela had enough and pounced on Janet and began punching her in the face while shouting at her, Everyone looked shocked as Scarecrow and Mad Hatter quickly got up to stop the fight as they both grabbed Pamela and began dragging her away.

Scarface: Miss Ivy, you look beautiful when you're angry.

Janet froze and stared in anger before she slapped Arnold and Scarface in the face before she was dragged away again.

Janet got up from the floor and fixed her hair, She looked at the villians and glared at them before she looked at Batwoman and Bucky again, That's when she finally realised the truth.

Janet: I used to believe Batwoman
was responsible for you people. . . But now I see nearly everyone here would've ended up exactly the same, Batwoman or not. Oh, the gimmicks might be different. But you'd all be out there in some form or another. . . bringing misery to Gotham. And I realised the white wolf has no fault in this, despite his past. With more heroes, Gotham is a step up to being a better place for every civilian out there.

The villians stared at her as Janet looked at Anne and Bucky, The Vigilantes felt glad that Janet finally realised the truth and was no longer aganist them.

Janet: And The truth is. . . You all created The Batwoman.

Anne had a small smirk through her mask as the villians continued glaring at Janet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jack: It's working.

Ryan opened the tracker device as Benjamin was driving the car while Alex was sitting at the backseat.

Alex: What does it say?

Jack: It's pointing north, the Somerset District, Nothing much out there except. . .

Benjamin: Arkham. . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joker had a smile on his face after hearing what Janet had to say about the vigilantes.

Joker: Jury, you've heard the evidence. Consider your verdict.

The villians looked at each other before they began whispering, Janet placed a hand on Anne's shoulder as Batwoman looked at him, Van dorn gave a reassuring smile to her before she looked at Barnes who was staring in silence, That was until the juries made their decision as Mad Hatter got up and spoke.

Mad Hatter: Your Honor, in light
of Ms. Van Dorn's stirring defense, We have no choice but to find the defendant. . .

"Not guilty"

Janet looked shocked as Joker nodded and continued smiling at them.

Joker: Amazing, Well done, counselor! You've proven that Batwoman didn't create us. That we, in fact, messed up our own rotten lives.

Anne and Bucky looked at each other and knew something was wrong as Janet continued staring at the Joker.

Joker: And as we are so rotten,
vile and depraved. . . .

"We're going to waste you anyway"

Janet gasped and looked shocked as Anne gritted her teeth, Bucky clenched his fist and tried to move his vibranium arm out but it didn't work, The villians cheered in happiness as Joker was laughing. The inmates were cheering as well as Killer Croc smiled and began walking towards Bucky and opened the trap, leaving his arm out.

As Bucky was about to attack him, Crock managed to grab him and twisted his arm to his back and trapped him in a bear hug as Croc began walking away while carrying him.

Two Face grabbed Janet and pulled her away while Harley and Ivy unlocked the chains around Anne and pulled her as Joker laughed and said something.

Joker: Let's mambo, folks!!!

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
