Lucilla's Testimony

3 months later...

      Today was the day. It was the trial. Sarah was walking beside her father Mr Gold with Gordon and Steve walking each side of them up the stairs of the courthouse. Behind them was Dan the Lie Detector Professional, Lucilla, Brittany, Megan, Christina, with cops each side of the girls. Then after they walked in, Arthur Fleck came with two cops each side of him escorting him inside. Behind was The Joker in a orange jumpsuit and his hands handcuffed with police. Harley and Gaston behind as well.

A huge crowd formed outside of Joker's/Arthur's supporters cheering for him, but when The Joker, Harley, and Gaston appeared, they booed them. The noise Joker's supporters were making outside could be heard inside the courtroom, as they were using megaphones and shouting "FREE JOKER! FREE JOKER!!" over and over. This made The Joker very angry and he glared at Arthur, but Arthur ignored him. He turned and saw Sarah and smiled sadly at her, and gave her a little wave. It was then he noticed Harleen watching him, but instead of looking annoyed she blew him a kiss. That confused him. She was working with The Joker, why would she be trying to flirt him?

Mr Gold also remembered then what he had heard in the hospital. The woman he was convinced was Harleen who threatened him and Sarah if she didn't stay away from Arthur. This worried him a lot, but he had to stay focused on the trial.

Soon Harvey came into the courtroom, "Sorry I'm late everyone, I got caught up with some thugs on the way here." Harvey said.

The judge shook her head and stood up, "All rise."

Everyone stood up from their seats.

"And I just can't wait to see you screaming in hell all three of you," Harvey added, smirking at The Joker, Harley and Gaston.

After they started the trial, Lucilla was called up to the stand first. She was scared, but Harvey comforted her and helped her to the stand. He then sighed and said, "Your name miss?"

"Lucilla...Rogers..."

"Miss Rogers how long were you kept in captive by The Joker?"

"....8 years...since I was 8 years old."

"8 years old, that's despicable. And during those 8 years were you treated well by your captor, or not?" Harvey asked.

"...no sir...,"

".....what happened to you, Miss Rogers? How were you treated, by the Joker?"

"...when...he first came...he killed my uncle and aunt. I had no parents since they died by overdose. I was scared seeing him in my house. I just a little girl, not understanding what was happening, but I was definitely scared....when he took me away...I was...I was put in a room with him and his mask goons. They all told me I was going to be sold for sex. I didn't know what they were talking about. I didn't know...what the word meant because my uncle and aunt never taught me those things....but before they did...The...Joker had to see if I was able to...preform..."

"And what do you mean...preform, Miss Rogers."

"...I-I had to...preform...o-oral sex with him," she broke down.

"Was it one time? Twice?"

"Once...almost all of us were raped once by him..."

"Almost? How many of the girls had more than once if you know?"

"...I-I know, but..."

"Mrs Rogers you can tell us." Harvey reassured her.

"Mr Gold's daughter. Sarah Thomas."

"And I will ask her about that in the future," Harvey stated, "Mrs Rogers, could you explain what in detail how The Joker wanted you to preform?"

Lucilla was shaking. She couldn't speak. She looked at The Joker who was clicking his teeth at her scaring her. She sniffled and shook her head.

"You can take your time," Harvey assured her.

She didn't know how to answer to the question. Then everyone gasped and panicked when she pulled out a gun on The Joker.

"Miss Rogers, please put the gun down!" Harvey tried to say calmly.

Arthur then stood up, "Lucilla, don't! He's not worth it!!" he cried, panicking.

The 2 policeman guarding him pulled him back down into his seat roughly.

"Lucilla! Think about your son!" Christina cried out.

"Don't!!!" Megan cried out.

"Lucilla! Think about what you are doing!?" Brittany cried out.

Lucilla looked at everyone, still aiming the gun at The Joker. She started to cry. The pain was too much. She then turned the gun at herself and everyone begged and screamed at her to not do it. (Except The Joker, Harleen, and Gaston)

"Miss Rogers, you have a little boy, and your brother. Don't do this," Harvey told her calmly.

Lucilla turned back at The Joker shaking with the gun still aimed at her head, then back at Harvey, "I'm sorry...I can't."

She then pulled the trigger. A loud boom was heard in the courtroom as she fell motionless. Blood oozing out from her head and mouth. The gun then dropped to the floor.

"GET A MEDIC!" Gordon screamed running to her.

The courtroom erupted into mayhem as people screamed and gasped. Steve called for a medic, but everyone knew she was probably passed saving.

Arthur jumped up and ran towards the stand, pushing through everyone to get to her. To the young woman he had carried out of the warehouse himself all those years ago.

"GET BACK HERE, FLECK!!" his guards yelled and ran after him and grabbed him, but he fell to his knees and cried silent tears.

"He's a good actor isn't he, your boyfriend?" The Joker said loudly to Harleen. She just giggled.

Arthur growled and charged at The Joker's desk, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!! YOU DID THIS TO HER-!!"

Before he could reach him, the cops grabbed Arthur and handcuffed him.

"Mr Fleck, I understand this must be upsetting and distressing for you, but another outburst like that and you'll be held in contempt of court," the judge said, sternly. She then brought her gavel down, "court is herby adjourned due to these unfortunate circumstances. We shall continue tomorrow."

Sarah was in shock for what happened. She felt so guilty for Lucilla. Why wasn't she there for her more? She then broke down.

Mr Gold put an arm around her and helped her to stand, "Come on, honey. Let's go home," he walked her towards the doors. As they passed by Arthur noticed and called to her, "Princess, I...I-I'm so sorry for your loss," he sniffled, "I know she was your friend-"

But Mr Gold hurried Sarah onwards, passed him.

"Gold-!"

"Leave her be, Mr Fleck. Just...leave us alone."

Arthur was confused hearing him say that, and it hurt watching them leave. Sarah looked back at Arthur crying. She didn't know why either they had to stay away from each other, she was hurt, "Arthur!" She cried, but Gold kept pushing her out.

Arthur stood in the room shaking. He lift his bloody hands to hold his head, the blood from Lucilla's body, and broke down. He dropped to his knees. Everyone around him panicking, some police trying to calm down the court and the doors slammed shut.
