THE FLOWERS
A smile materialized on Poison Ivy's face as she watered flowers in her living room. *Perhaps I'll eventually water flowers on enemies' graves. Batman's grave. Joker's grave* she thought. Ivy's smile remained. She remembered committing various crimes with Harley Quinn earlier.
*Men weren't able to capture us* Ivy thought. A sudden scowl replaced her smile. *Renee Montoya arrested us.* A thoughtful expression formed. *What's Harley up to?* She finished watering flowers and walked to the front door. After opening it, she went outside.
Ivy's eyes widened the minute she viewed Harley walking two hyenas. She stepped back. She viewed Harley turning to her.
Harley smiled with wide eyes before she approached Ivy. She forgot about the hyenas for a moment. ''POISON OAKY!'' She watched as Ivy frowned.
''IVY!''
''What are you up to, Oaky?''
After rolling her eyes, Ivy smiled again. ''I watered my flowers a few seconds ago,'' she said. Her eyes settled on the hyenas. She began to step back another time.
''Bud and Lou are my babies. They don't harm my friends,'' Harley said.
The hyenas ran from Harley and into Ivy's home.
''If those animals harm my flowers....'' Worry filled Ivy's eyes as soon as Bud and Lou ran near her flowers. She turned to Harley. She saw her smile another time.
''My babies won't wreck your flowers,'' Harley said. She continued to smile. ''Another crime spree later?'' Harley saw the return of Ivy's smile. ''We'll always be friends.'' She and Ivy gasped after her arm contacted a few flowers. Their eyes widened the minute the flowers were knocked down and trampled due to the hyenas stepping on them. Harley was sheepish prior to the return of her smile. ''Are we still friends?''
Ivy's scowl and wide eyes were answers.
THE END
THE TOY STORE
*A new doll to conceal a weapon for Batman. Which new toy?* Baby Doll thought. She smiled and wandered by many dolls in a large store.
Baby Doll remembered Batman and Robin preventing her from ending the lives of her costars. She began to scowl. *My television show was my life. My costars said I was why the show failed. They had to perish!*
Baby Doll smiled again. *Others won't forget about me after I end Batman's life. I won't forget about Robin if he's with Batman.* She glanced at many stuffed animals on a shelf. Baby Doll was thoughtful. She continued to smile.
*Perhaps I'll conceal a weapon in a stuffed animal instead of a doll this time.* She shrugged. *Something different.* Baby Doll's eyes settled on a kitten. She lifted it. *The perfect toy for the perfect weapon* she thought.
Baby Doll heard footsteps near the shelf. She looked back. Her smile remained after a young man approached her.
''A walking doll should be with other toys,'' the man said. He lifted Baby Doll before she dropped the kitten. He watched as her eyes widened. Her sudden scowl never bothered him. The man carried Baby Doll while she struggled. He placed her with many baby dolls and departed.
Baby Doll continued to scowl and struggle between two dolls. Other dolls prevented her from moving all limbs. Baby Doll decided to conceal weapons in other items. If she was able to wander again.

THE PHOTO
CHAPTER 1
''OBTAIN PRETTIES FOR YOUR KING!'' They were the recent words Frog remembered. There were other things Frog recalled about the Sewer King. The latter's scowl if pretties were not obtained. The Sewer King placing children in a chamber filled with light for speaking during lessons. He continued to wander the streets of Gotham City.
Frog rarely saw a happy Sewer King. He usually saw the latter's scowl, but never tears. He tried to remember his foster father's smile. The Sewer King mostly smiled by his sewer alligators. His pets. His pretties.
Frog always tried to avoid the alligators. Their multiple teeth always caused him to tremble. He began to wonder if the Sewer King had toy alligators when he was a boy. Frog tried to recall him mentioning his family. He mostly remembered the Sewer King mentioning society shunning him. He thought he remembered him revealing living in poverty.
Frog wondered if the Sewer King's family abused him. Perhaps the latter ran from his family. Perhaps there were bruises on the young boy. Maybe a red mark on his face from his father hitting him. Perhaps he ran into the sewer and others never approved. Frog also wondered if the young Sewer King became friends with alligators.
There were new memories of the Sewer King. The happy latter scratching one alligator's snout. ''You never distress me, my pet.''
Frog still was not sure why the Sewer King always stuttered when he was enraged. At least the latter smiled if certain pretties were revealed near him. Mostly rings and necklaces. There was one item Frog always dreaded. The staff. The staff used for hitting any girl or boy causing the Sewer King distress.
A memory of viewing bruises on a girl's arm caused Frog to wince for a few moments. The girl's tears were revealed after the scowling Sewer King brought the staff down on her arm. Her crime? Obtaining two coins instead of pretties for her king. The girl ran to Frog before he tried to comfort her. He smiled near his companion to cheer her up.
The memory of the girl's sudden smile caused a rare happy expression to form on Frog's face.
What were other memories of the Sewer King? How he was quick to remind all children that he took them in when nobody else cared about them. The Sewer King mentioned feeding his children. Clothing them. Disciplining them. Educating them.
Frog glanced at many buildings, but there weren't any people. Not one person to adopt him. He looked back. Worry filled Frog's eyes. He couldn't abandon the Sewer King's other children. His companions.
There were memories of Frog's companions' tears due to the enraged Sewer King, bruises, etc. Their wide eyes after the Sewer King's pet alligators wandered by them. Their trembling bodies the minute the enraged Sewer King found wire hangers in the sewer and used the hangers to discipline them. They guessed his father used wire hangers to harm him when he was a boy.
Frog had to obtain pretties for his king as soon as possible. Pretties for a poverty-stricken man.
That was when Frog remembered the Sewer King occasionally reading newspapers due to children bringing them to him. Perhaps he was able to obtain pretties with newspapers. Frog began to search for any newspapers. He also remembered stealing a newspaper recently. There was something he remembered about it. Three villains committed various crimes and were featured in the newspaper.
Frog's eyes settled on a bank. They widened after the three villains ran out of it. He gasped as soon as he recognized them from the newspaper.
CHAPTER 2
Frog viewed Baby Doll carrying two bags of money. He turned to Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn as they followed her. His eyes remained on them as they found themselves in a car. He viewed them turning to him.
Baby Doll began to scowl at Frog. ''Zero cash for you!'' she said. She turned to Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. She saw their wide eyes as they focused on Frog.
''Let's scram before the cops arrive,'' Harley Quinn said to Poison Ivy and Baby Doll. She viewed them nodding.
Frog stepped back after he was abandoned. He blinked twice.
Frog ran to a small house. Perhaps he was able to find a pretty in it. He remembered the recent consequences if he returned without a pretty. His body trembled.
The memory Frog approached the scowling Sewer King without a pretty. He watched as the latter trembled. His eyes widened at a snail's pace as soon as the Sewer King pointed near him. Frog viewed him jabbing the air with every word.
''Y,y,y,you are causing me distress by not obtaining a pretty! Ohhh! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!'' the Sewer King said.
The memory Frog's eyes remained wide as he stepped back.
''What are the consequences? Perhaps I will feed you to my pets,'' the Sewer King said to Frog before he paced. He glanced at two alligators by his throne. The Sewer King ceased pacing and approached the alligators. ''Are you hungry, my pets?'' he wished to know. He scratched their snouts.
The Sewer King walked to Frog before he revealed a staff from behind his back. He began to smile. ''I won't end your life, Frog. Deceased brats aren't able to obtain pretties for their king. Ohhhh! N,n,n,no.''
The Sewer King continued to smile. He used the staff to strike his palm twice. He viewed Frog wincing. The Sewer King touched the latter's shoulder. He held the staff above his head. ''You cause me distress. I will cause you distress, Frog!'' he said.
Frog winced and refused to remember the Sewer King punishing him. He ceased trembling. At least the bruises on his arms were gone.
The Sewer King usually smiled by his babies. His alligators. He never revealed remorse after being cruel near Frog and his friends.
Was the Sewer King able to reveal tears at all?
CHAPTER 3
Frog focused on the house for a few seconds. He walked to the front door at a snail's pace. He touched the door and hesitated.
Frog remembered the enraged Sewer King trembling. After opening the door, he ran into the house. He began to shut the door. His eyes settled on everything in the living room.
There were many books on a shelf. A large chair was near a corner. A table was in the middle of the living room.
Frog searched for any jewels, but zero luck. Frowning, he turned to stairs and went up them. He saw a chamber and walked into it. His eyes widened another time after he viewed a woman resting in a man's arms under a blanket. His shoulders slumped. He hesitated another time.
Frog glanced at his arm and remembered bruises on it. After wincing another time, he approached a table. He saw a framed photo on it. Curious, he tilted his head to one side. Frog's eyes widened again. A sudden smile formed.
One pretty for the Sewer King.
Frog looked back. His eyes settled on the resting spouses. His frown came back at a snail's pace. Frog began to hesitate another time. One pretty for the Sewer King. Zero new bruises if the Sewer King smiled.
Frog's frown remained as he took the photo. He ran out of the chamber and never looked back. He approached the door and opened it. After shutting the door, he ran to a sewer. Frog moved the lid to one side. He found himself in the sewer and ran again.
Frog paused near the Sewer King. His eyes were wide again as the latter sat on a throne. He focused on the Sewer King's scowl and clothes. The Sewer King's half-shades with his suit. His long hair. His cape.
''Pretties for your king?''
CHAPTER 4
Frog began to tremble another time. He gave the photo to the Sewer King. He continued to tremble after the latter stood. Frog watched as the Sewer King's scowl remained. One eye widened behind the half-shades. He viewed the Sewer King trembling for a different reason.
''WHERE WAS THIS PHOTO OBTAINED?'' the Sewer King shouted.
Frog's eyes remained wide before he stepped back. He tried not to imagine new bruises. Perhaps the Sewer King was going to place him in a light-filled room for a few hours. Frog remembered the light always hurting his eyes. How he winced near the light. Even when his eyes remained shut.
Frog viewed the Sewer King dropping the photo and grinding the heel of his boot on it.
''I'LL NEVER RETURN TO MY PREVIOUS LIFE! EVERYONE SHUNNED ME!'' the Sewer King shouted.
Frog glanced at what was left of the photo. He turned to the Sewer King. His eyes widened another time after many tears streamed down the sobbing Sewer King's face. He viewed the man's tears falling on the photo. A photo of a young Sewer King with his parents. The happy family. Frog currently knew how capable the Sewer King was of revealing tears.
THE END
THE TOY ALLIGATOR
''Frog! Obtain many pretties for your king!'' the Sewer King said as he frowned at a boy. He viewed Frog nodding and running. He turned to two alligators by his throne. The Sewer King smiled. He began to scratch the alligators' snouts.
''You are other pretties.'' The Sewer King scowled near his pets. ''There was a previous pretty when I was a boy. Yes! Yes!
A pretty for a poverty-stricken boy.''
Mrs. Lewis approached her young son in their living room. She smiled. She held something behind her back and revealed it. Mrs. Lewis viewed Wendell's eyes widening. ''HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDELL!'' She continued to smile after a happy Wendell embraced a toy alligator.
Wendell smiled in his mother's arms. He continued to embrace his toy. After he was released, he heard footsteps near a chair. Wendell looked back. His eyes widened as soon as he focused on his scowling father. He stepped back after Mr. Lewis approached him.
''WE CAN'T AFFORD TOYS!'' Mr. Lewis took the alligator and tore it apart. He watched as limbs fell and tears ran down Wendell's face.
The memory ended before the Sewer King took a toy alligator out of his long coat. Tears streamed down his face as he smiled. The Sewer King sobbed. He embraced the alligator. His tears fell on all stitches. ''Nobody will tear you apart another time.''
THE END
MIND REFUSE
Frog approached the Sewer King at a snail's pace. He almost always saw the latter's scowl. He remembered the Sewer King sending him to obtain many pretties for him hours ago. His hands were empty. Frog's eyes widened after he saw a rare smile. They remained on the Sewer King as the latter sat.
Frog recalled the Sewer King scowling at him for returning with empty hands a few days ago. He also recalled him using a staff to hit his arms repeatedly. After wincing, Frog focused on the Sewer King. He viewed the latter turning to one side.
Tears streamed down the Sewer King's face as he smiled.
Frog almost wished to comfort the Sewer King. He almost wished to be with him. The Sewer King was going to be okay.
''My pet,'' the Sewer King said.
Frog stepped back after his eyes widened another time. He remembered the Sewer King's previous tears after a sick alligator died near him a few hours ago. He also recalled the Sewer King sobbing and embracing his still pet. Perhaps the latter's mind refused to allow him to accept the pet alligator's demise. Frog refused to reveal the empty area where the alligator usually was. He smiled. A happy Sewer King never harmed him. Frog glanced at many bruises on his arm.
THE END
FATHER'S FINGERS
CHAPTER 1
The Sewer King scowled after he read his mother's obituary. Trembling, he dropped the newspaper by his throne. *Mom always tried to care for me. She never had much money.* The Sewer King smiled. He ceased trembling.
*Mom bought a toy alligator many years ago. She smiled with me after she revealed it. Dad appeared and scowled by me. He loathed viewing others with pretties. Dad tore my alligator apart and continued to scowl. After viewing my tears, he abandoned me. I guess I was too loud when I sobbed.*
Another scowl replaced the Sewer King's smile. He turned to three alligators. He smiled again. ''Are you hungry, my pets?'' he wished to know. The Sewer King laughed. He scratched one alligator's snout.
The Sewer King turned to Frog and other children. ''You won't obtain pretties for your king this time.'' He thought he saw Frog's sudden smile. ''You are going to capture my father and take him to one of the sewer pipes. Yes! Yes! Yes!''
The Sewer King viewed the wide eyes of the children. ''Return without my father and I'll feed you to my pets in his place.'' He scowled again. The Sewer King revealed where Mr. Lewis lived. ''SCATTER!'' He laughed another time after Frog and his companions ran.
A few hours later, the Sewer King sat on a pipe. He glanced at many alligators in the water below. His smile returned as soon as Frog appeared with his father. He saw a hole above. The Sewer King continued to smile the minute Mr. Lewis was dropped. He saw the latter's wide eyes after his body contacted the pipe.
CHAPTER 2
''Wendell?''
The Sewer King scowled another time. ''IT'S SEWER KING! SEWER KING!''
After viewing the alligators, Mr. Lewis gasped. He turned to the Sewer King. ''Children dragged me out of bed and took me here?''
''I suffered after you tore my stuffed alligator apart years ago. You caused me distress. Ohhh. Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll cause you distress before my pets tear you apart.''
After gasping another time, Mr. Lewis glanced from the alligators to the Sewer King. He began to lean back and flail. He almost fell and used his hands to seize the pipe.
The Sewer King's eyes settled on all ten fingers. He stood and approached Mr. Lewis prior to another smile. ''Ten fingers.
Ten crimes.''
CHAPTER 3
The Sewer King was thoughtful for a moment. He began to grind the heel of his boot on a finger. He heard Mr. Lewis as he cried out. ''You were born!'' The Sewer King saw tears in his father's eyes. His smile remained.
The Sewer King's boot heel contacted another finger. He watched as Mr. Lewis winced. ''You tore my toy alligator apart and caused me distress.'' The Sewer King viewed tears running down his father's face. Another scowl replaced his smile. ''You continue to cause me distress by existing!''
Mr. Lewis cried out again after the Sewer King's heel contacted his other finger.
''You forgot my tenth birthday!'' the Sewer King said. His heel descended again. He began to grind it on another finger.
Mr. Lewis turned to the alligators another time. His body trembled after two alligators snapped near him. He faced the Sewer King and seized the latter's long coat. Mr. Lewis saw the Sewer King's wide eye and wondered if the other eye was wide behind a dark lense. He began to seize a cape. His eyes settled on the cape before it was removed. He released the cape.
The Sewer King viewed his cape descending to where the alligators were. He faced Mr. Lewis and scowled again. ''I'M THE SEWER KING! I AM NOT WENDELL!'' he shouted. The Sewer King's eyes widened another time after his trousers were yanked down and his boxers were revealed. He focused on his boxers for a few moments.
The Sewer King's scowl returned before he pulled his trousers up. ''MY PETS WILL DEVOUR YOU THIS INSTANT!'' he said to Mr. Lewis.
CHAPTER 4
Alligators snapped near Mr. Lewis again after he crouched.
''Wendell, I apologize for tearing your toy alligator apart years ago. I replaced it in case our paths crossed.'' Mr. Lewis reached into his long coat pocket. After revealing a toy alligator matching the one he tore apart, he gave it to the Sewer King. He smiled the minute the Sewer King gasped. He viewed him taking the alligator and embracing it after a smile.
The Sewer King took his father's hand before the latter stood. He continued to smile with Mr. Lewis. He remembered suffering for years after his toy alligator was ripped apart. Wendell Lewis revealing tears. The Sewer King revealing many tears. A new toy repaired father and son.

THE FLOWERS
A smile materialized on Poison Ivy's face as she watered flowers in her living room. *Perhaps I'll eventually water flowers on enemies' graves. Batman's grave. Joker's grave* she thought. Ivy's smile remained. She remembered committing various crimes with Harley Quinn earlier.
*Men weren't able to capture us* Ivy thought. A sudden scowl replaced her smile. *Renee Montoya arrested us.* A thoughtful expression formed. *What's Harley up to?* She finished watering flowers and walked to the front door. After opening it, she went outside.
Ivy's eyes widened the minute she viewed Harley walking two hyenas. She stepped back. She viewed Harley turning to her.
Harley smiled with wide eyes before she approached Ivy. She forgot about the hyenas for a moment. ''POISON OAKY!'' She watched as Ivy frowned.
''IVY!''
''What are you up to, Oaky?''
After rolling her eyes, Ivy smiled again. ''I watered my flowers a few seconds ago,'' she said. Her eyes settled on the hyenas. She began to step back another time.
''Bud and Lou are my babies. They don't harm my friends,'' Harley said.
The hyenas ran from Harley and into Ivy's home.
''If those animals harm my flowers....'' Worry filled Ivy's eyes as soon as Bud and Lou ran near her flowers. She turned to Harley. She saw her smile another time.
''My babies won't wreck your flowers,'' Harley said. She continued to smile. ''Another crime spree later?'' Harley saw the return of Ivy's smile. ''We'll always be friends.'' She and Ivy gasped after her arm contacted a few flowers. Their eyes widened the minute the flowers were knocked down and trampled due to the hyenas stepping on them. Harley was sheepish prior to the return of her smile. ''Are we still friends?''
Ivy's scowl and wide eyes were answers.
THE END
THE TOY STORE
*A new doll to conceal a weapon for Batman. Which new toy?* Baby Doll thought. She smiled and wandered by many dolls in a large store.
Baby Doll remembered Batman and Robin preventing her from ending the lives of her costars. She began to scowl. *My television show was my life. My costars said I was why the show failed. They had to perish!*
Baby Doll smiled again. *Others won't forget about me after I end Batman's life. I won't forget about Robin if he's with Batman.* She glanced at many stuffed animals on a shelf. Baby Doll was thoughtful. She continued to smile.
*Perhaps I'll conceal a weapon in a stuffed animal instead of a doll this time.* She shrugged. *Something different.* Baby Doll's eyes settled on a kitten. She lifted it. *The perfect toy for the perfect weapon* she thought.
Baby Doll heard footsteps near the shelf. She looked back. Her smile remained after a young man approached her.
''A walking doll should be with other toys,'' the man said. He lifted Baby Doll before she dropped the kitten. He watched as her eyes widened. Her sudden scowl never bothered him. The man carried Baby Doll while she struggled. He placed her with many baby dolls and departed.
Baby Doll continued to scowl and struggle between two dolls. Other dolls prevented her from moving all limbs. Baby Doll decided to conceal weapons in other items. If she was able to wander again.

Mrs. Lewis approached her young son in their living room. She smiled. She held something behind her back and revealed it. Mrs. Lewis viewed Wendell's eyes widening. ''HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDELL!'' She continued to smile after a happy Wendell embraced a toy alligator.
Wendell smiled in his mother's arms. He continued to embrace his toy. After he was released, he heard footsteps near a chair. Wendell looked back. His eyes widened as soon as he focused on his scowling father. He stepped back after Mr. Lewis approached him.
''WE CAN'T AFFORD TOYS!'' Mr. Lewis took the alligator and tore it apart. He watched as limbs fell and tears ran down Wendell's face.
The memory ended before the Sewer King took a toy alligator out of his long coat. Tears streamed down his face as he smiled. The Sewer King sobbed. He embraced the alligator. His tears fell on all stitches. ''Nobody will tear you apart another time.''

The Sewer King viewed the wide eyes of the children. ''Return without my father and I'll feed you to my pets in his place.'' He scowled again. The Sewer King revealed where Mr. Lewis lived. ''SCATTER!'' He laughed another time after Frog and his companions ran.
A few hours later, the Sewer King sat on a pipe. He glanced at many alligators in the water below. His smile returned as soon as Frog appeared with his father. He saw a hole above. The Sewer King continued to smile the minute Mr. Lewis was dropped. He saw the latter's wide eyes after his body contacted the pipe.
CHAPTER 2
''Wendell?''
The Sewer King scowled another time. ''IT'S SEWER KING! SEWER KING!''
After viewing the alligators, Mr. Lewis gasped. He turned to the Sewer King. ''Children dragged me out of bed and took me here?''
''I suffered after you tore my stuffed alligator apart years ago. You caused me distress. Ohhh. Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll cause you distress before my pets tear you apart.''
After gasping another time, Mr. Lewis glanced from the alligators to the Sewer King. He began to lean back and flail. He almost fell and used his hands to seize the pipe.
The Sewer King's eyes settled on all ten fingers. He stood and approached Mr. Lewis prior to another smile. ''Ten fingers.
Ten crimes.''
CHAPTER 3
The Sewer King was thoughtful for a moment. He began to grind the heel of his boot on a finger. He heard Mr. Lewis as he cried out. ''You were born!'' The Sewer King saw tears in his father's eyes. His smile remained.
The Sewer King's boot heel contacted another finger. He watched as Mr. Lewis winced. ''You tore my toy alligator apart and caused me distress.'' The Sewer King viewed tears running down his father's face. Another scowl replaced his smile. ''You continue to cause me distress by existing!''
Mr. Lewis cried out again after the Sewer King's heel contacted his other finger.
''You forgot my tenth birthday!'' the Sewer King said. His heel descended again. He began to grind it on another finger.
Mr. Lewis turned to the alligators another time. His body trembled after two alligators snapped near him. He faced the Sewer King and seized the latter's long coat. Mr. Lewis saw the Sewer King's wide eye and wondered if the other eye was wide behind a dark lense. He began to seize a cape. His eyes settled on the cape before it was removed. He released the cape.
The Sewer King viewed his cape descending to where the alligators were. He faced Mr. Lewis and scowled again. ''I'M THE SEWER KING! I AM NOT WENDELL!'' he shouted. The Sewer King's eyes widened another time after his trousers were yanked down and his boxers were revealed. He focused on his boxers for a few moments.
The Sewer King's scowl returned before he pulled his trousers up. ''MY PETS WILL DEVOUR YOU THIS INSTANT!'' he said to Mr. Lewis.
CHAPTER 4
Alligators snapped near Mr. Lewis again after he crouched.
''Wendell, I apologize for tearing your toy alligator apart years ago. I replaced it in case our paths crossed.'' Mr. Lewis reached into his long coat pocket. After revealing a toy alligator matching the one he tore apart, he gave it to the Sewer King. He smiled the minute the Sewer King gasped. He viewed him taking the alligator and embracing it after a smile.
The Sewer King took his father's hand before the latter stood. He continued to smile with Mr. Lewis. He remembered suffering for years after his toy alligator was ripped apart. Wendell Lewis revealing tears. The Sewer King revealing many tears. A new toy repaired father and son.
