Prologue
The story of the Dark Knight Batman has always peeked my interested and I wanted to tell a story about a what if scenario between two of my favorite characters from Batman, Batman and Harley Quinn. They are enemies but in this story they find their way to each other and fall in love with each other.
Bruce Wayne is the richest man in Gotham City, and CEO of Wayne Enterprises and when he was just a boy he witnessed the tragic deaths of his parents, at the time he was only about eight years old and rather defenseless and he wasn't able to help to parents. A convicted felon Joe Chill had shot both of Bruce's parents and then ran off, Young Bruce vowed for revenge and once he older he donned the disguise of the Dark Knight Batman. Why Batman? Well his logic was to strike fear into his enemies and he used his fear of Bats to be a symbol of that is good, the silent guardian of Gotham. Being Batman has not led to Bruce to find true love; sure he came close once with Selina Kyle or Catwoman but that didn't last.
Harley Quinn formerly Harleen Quinzel an intern at Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane, is the Joker's right hand girl. Harley transformed herself into a twisted clown just like Joker to be closer to him, and they were perfect for each other that was until he became abusive both verbally and physically, Harley fed up with her puddin's abuse decides to one day leave him in search of another, one who would treat her better.
In what way will these two find each other, sure they know each other, but that is only because Joker is Batman's number one nemesis and usually Harley isn't that far behind her puddin. Batman has come close to capturing the Joker on numerous occasions. It is the mission of Batman to bring the Joker into Arkham, heck he already managed to capture Two Face, Penguin, Bane, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Calenderman, Scarecrow and yes even Killer Croc, however Joker and Harley seem to always just be one step ahead of Batman. So let's find out if Batman can fulfill this mission and how will he fall for Harley?
Chapter One- The Bat and the Clown Prince of Crime
Gotham City a dark and dissolute city, not a place one wants to be on the worst of days, the constant waves of crime in Gotham seems to be even more so, and at the heart of most of these incidents is the Joker. Joker is a cunning and conniving adversary of Batman. Batman has come close to capturing the Joker on several occasions, but just when Batman gets close Joker's right hand girl Harley Quinn intercepts, and since Batman is a man of morals he'd never harm a woman, even a crazy one like Harley, his beef is with the Joker.
"Seems that Joker hasn't been up to any mischief lately, odd maybe that means that he is planning something big, just for me." Batman said to himself
"Kaboom" A big explosion just happened in the direction of Gotham Central Bank, that must be the work of none other than Joker, this is exactly the opportunity that I've been waiting for, thought Batman.
"Alfred, did you see what just happened to Gotham Central, I'm heading in that direction" Batman said into his intercom on his wrist
"Indeed sir, and do be careful if it is in fact Joker then there is no doubt in my mind that this is a trap of some sort, I'll be here if you need me sir" Alfred said
"I understand and I'll be careful Alfred, talk with you again soon" Batman said hanging up with Alfred and heading to the nearly destroyed Bank. "My god Joker what have you done" Batman said silently to himself.
The bomb must have been a proximity triggered c4, the damage to the bank was irreversible, Batman couldn't believe that no one got hurt, all the employees must have left already, no doubt that Joker was after the money in the vault, but to use that much explosives. As long as Batman could remember the Joker liked to use the more dramatic approach, kind of his calling card. Just at that moment Batman spotted Joker walking out of the bank with two large sacks of money, so he was after the money, but to what end? Time to make him talk…
"Stop right there Joker" Batman said
"Well, well, well if it isn't my old friend and pain in my ass Batman, so here to stop me huh? Not sure that you can though as I have Harley waiting with another surprise for you, I won't say what it is but trust me you will love it, hahahah" Joker said
"You need professional help Joker, you're going to return the money and come with me to Arkham, there is a padded cell with your name on it, just for you" Batman responded
"No I'm not the one who needs a padded cell; after all I'm not dressed up like a giant rodent. If anyone needs help it is you Bats" Joker said
"Joker, I'm afraid that you are mistaken, see I'm going to be bringing you in one way or another, now we can do this the easy way or the hard way" Batman said
"Must you babble one about this heroic nonsense, and of course it will be the hard way, boys attack!" Joker said
Darn, surrounded by armed thugs again, and Joker is getting away, this always happens, I'll make sure to end this quickly I have to stop him by any means necessary, and just what was he referring to, what did Harley have? There is only one way to find out, "Bring it on freaks, I'll take you all out at once" Batman said
Batman took on wave after wave of Joker thugs without even breaking a sweat, remembering everything that he had learned from his time in the league of Assassins under the tutelage of Ra's Al Ghul, Batman had proven to be the most promising of all of Ra's students, and after a brief romantic fling with Ra's daughter Talia, Bruce left to return to Gotham, to begin his guardian role as the Batman. Then after some thought of the past Batman became angry, Talia was dead, he had the Joker to thank for that, Joker had also crippled Barbara Gordon the police commissioner's daughter and the former Batgirl a partner of Bruce's and another of his flings, now Barb is confined to a wheelchair and she can no longer aid Bruce on the battlefield as Batgirl, but using her knowledge she can give him info under the alias of Oracle.
Batman was still lost in thought but managed to take out Joker's thugs, one after another. "Damn it was a diversion, Joker got away" Batman said to himself
"Alfred, Joker got away, I'll be heading back see you soon" Batman said
"Ok Sir, I'll be waiting in the Bat Cave" Alfred responded
Earlier that evening at Joker's hideout
The Joker was sitting on his throne, Harley by his side as usual and he had just formulated a master plan on that would insure that he came out on top and one that would make the Bat suffer both emotionally and mentally, oh it was truly perfect indeed and it even had a cool name he called it the Alan Parson's Project. But the kicker was to get poor sweet gullible Harley to play along, he loved her more than anyone he had ever loved and while he was formulating how to bring the APP into effect, he remembered how he became Joker and the first time he met Harley.
Oh yes he remember everything about that night, he was once known as Jack White a mob boss who worked undercover in Falcone's chemical plant, one night there was a heist a rival gang was trying to steal the chemicals and Falcone had asked Joker to protect the chemicals they were rather volatile but who showed up, none other than the freaking Bat, and although the Bat had tried to save Joker he accidently dumped him into the vast boiling acid and he would've died had some of his guys not pulled him out in the nick of time, the chemicals had changed his physical appearance quite a bit his skin was all white and his hair had turned green, the black eye liner and red lipstick he did himself, the birth of the Joker. Jack White was dead for all intents and purposes so he left his wife and young child and started a crime syndicate Joker Inc. he recruited a bunch of lowlifes for protection and it wasn't until he had been captured by none other than the Bat and taken to Arkham, where he meet an angel, this cute little blonde named Harleen Quinzel an intern there, her heart fluttered and she blushed a little.
Now Joker was in love and demanded that she be his physiatrist instead of Dr. Young, he proceeded to twist and warp her mind until she decided to change her appearance and even her name to Harley Quinn, she helped to bust him out of Arkham and they formed a beautiful relationship. That was the origin of the Joker and he had Batman to thank for it all, he had got him Harley so he was grateful at least for that part of it, he wished that when he looked in the mirror that it wasn't that twisted clown face staring back at him a face that even a grandmother could hate.
"Are you feeling alright snoock'em, you're really deep in thought lately huh is it the Bats, or what?" Harley said
Joker stared at his beloved Harley for a moment then spoke
"Harley Dear, how would like to really screw over the bat? Cause I have a plan and it will be my most excellent one yet, so what do you say honey pants, are you game for it?" Joker said
"Sure thing snicker doodle, so what do want me to do huh?" Harley said locking eyes with Joker
"Come a little closer dear, I'll whisper it into your ears" Joker said
Harley got right next to Joker and he whispered the plan into her ear, and it was a good plan for sure, Harley wanted nothing more than to hurt the Bats and this plan of the Joker's would do that alright plus if it went off without a hitch then they would learn of the Bats true identity something that Harley always wanted to know as she knew that Joker did as well
"Yeah I like it Mr. J, so let's do it, I'm getting ancy" Harley said
"oh keep your shirt on Harley dear, or what hell take it off if you feel like it, either way Harley we are almost ready, first we have to set up a diversion, and I have a bomb that will get the Bats attention alright" Joker said smirking
"Oh I can't wait Puddin, this will be a blast, hehehheheh" Harley said
"Indeed my sweet" Joker said
Returning to the present
"Joker, why does this always happen," Batman said to himself as he walked to the Bat Mobile, when out of nowhere he saw Harley Quinn sitting on the hood of the Bat Mobile playing with her hair and blowing a bubble from a piece of gum. Harley had on a cute outfit Red and Black of course, and her blonde hair in pigtails, she was quite the looker, what else could go wrong today first Joker got away and now Harley.
"It's about time you showed up Bats, Mr. J would like a word with you so you and I are going to go see him" Harley said
"I'm not all that surprised Harley, you do anything for Joker after all, even escort his greatest adversary right to his front doorstep, that's quite a nice shiner you have their Harley" Batman said
"Well I just slipped and fell and I guess I'm rather clumsy sometimes, it's nothing Bats anyway we better get going don't want to keep Mr. J waiting, now move." Harley said holding a gun at Batman
Batman knew that Harley was just covering up for Joker's abuse, she didn't deserve it, but it wasn't his place to come between them, he has a score to settle with Joker.
"Alright let's go Harley, lead the way" Batman responded
"Ok follow me then, this way Bats" Harley said
It was rather hypnotic, the way that Harley walked, she wiggled her butt, Batman couldn't stop but admire it as he was following Harley to where they were going to meet Joker.
Harley knew that Batman was checking her out, he was a man after all and he was only interested in one thing, but as mysterious and ruggedly handsome as he was her heart would now and always belong to the Joker, her puddin, but she found it rather enjoyable teasing the Bat every now and again.
They reached the spot no one was around, it was an empty parking lot with a weird feel in the air, Joker was surely here alright, maybe now he could end this, bring in both Joker and Harley to where they belonged, Arkham Asylum.
"Well now I must say that I'm not all that surprised that you'd be here Bats, after all my sweet Harley delivered the goods alright, isn't she adorable in that little outfit, I'd bet it would look better on the ground if you get what I mean, anyway thank you my dear now leave, this is a moment between our friend and myself, go away, I'll get you when we're finished." Joker said appearing from the shadows
"Alright Puddin" Harley said walking over to the curb to sit down, she sat on the curb and put her head in her hand rather board she crossed her legs and sighed a little, and she thought that Joker was acting rather strange, was he sick or something?
"I have to admit it Bats that Harley is one nice piece of ass, isn't she, I bet that you would like her if you got to know her, am I right?" Joker said
"Get on with it Joker, what do want?" Batman said
"Always so serious, huh Bats anyway I have a business proposal for you, see it takes money to make it in today's world and I have money but what I don't have is someone on the inside a corporate figure so to speak someone like your friend Bruce Wayne, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, if only I knew someone like that then Joker Enterprises could get off the ground, It's a win win situation, see I don't want to kill you your too much fun, and if I killed you then how would I have fun? Think about it Bats" Joker said
"You want me to help you start a competing business of Wayne Enterprises, I don't think so, your insane Joker, I would never be your partner, we are enemies after all, so the answer is No, now I'm tired of this you're not going to run away again" Batman said
"Oh Bats something's never change, seeing as though you seem neglectful to join forces then I suppose I'll have to kill you after all, just like how I killed that Al Ghul woman, she should have really learned how to defend herself better, I thought that she was a ninja or something, I've seen turds put up a better fight" Joker said laughing
"How dare you bring up Talia, I really don't have time for this" Batman said
"Oh pinched a nerve I see, don't let that vein in your forehead burst now, Harley move your cute ass, we are leaving" Joker said
"Coming puddin, later Bats" Harley said walking up to them and winking at Batman
"Stop, you're not going to leave that easily Joker, I'm taking you to Arkham where you belong" Batman said
"oh I think not Bats, see I have no intention of ever going to Arkham, in fact I'd rather never go anywhere near that place, no I'm not going anywhere, Gotham is my city after all, thanks to you locking up all of the others, that made it easier for me to get to the top, couldn't have done it without you" Joker said
"Puddin why not just kill him, then we could have Gotham all to ourselves, who needs the Bat anyways" Harley butted in
"Oh why not, you have a point dear" Joker said shooting Batman with his gun the first one was a gag gun classic complete with a flag that said bang, but the second one was real
Batman collapsed to the ground wincing in pain, the shoot wasn't fatal he would live, the bullet just grazed his armor
"And just like that the Bat goes down, Hahahahah just like a ton of bricks" Joker said
"Is he dead puddin? He is kind of cute in a bruiting kind of a way, a girl could get really wet from a guy like that, sigh" Harley said looking at Batman lying on the ground and blushing a little
"Harley, that's enough now understand this if you ever leave me you'll never be able to come back, and so get moving doll, and leave the wounded Bat I'm bored now" Joker said starting to walk away
"Harley dear come here for a minute, Smack!" Joker said as he struck Harley with an open hand slap across her pretty face
"Ouch Mr. J puddin, why did you do that just now, you totally caught me off guard there, and why are you always hitting me, it isn't right, I'm a lady after all, didn't your mother ever teach you never hit a woman?" Harley said
"I never knew my parents you bimbo, and I struck you because I felt like it, now get moving it's time to go to phase two of our plan, we need to find out who the Bats really is, then we can bring him down once and for all, Hahahahahah" Joker said laughing
"But you just killed him, so how are we going to discover anything about him?" Harley said
"Harley that is merely a flesh wound he'll live, are you coming or not?" Joker said
"oh sorry, by the way I'm tired of you always hitting me, we are through Mr. J, you obviously don't respect me like you should, and one more thing I faked all my orgasms, I thought that you were different but you are just an egomaniac after all, I'm already over you Jerker" Harley said sticking her tongue out mocking Joker
"Oh really, very well but don't come crawling back to me when you want a good time, have a nice life, I don't need you anyway I do better by myself all you ever did was drag me down, your just another pretty face but you're not that bright, typical Blonde" Joker said
"You asshole, how could say such mean things, your breaking my heart Mr. J" Harley said starting to cry
:"I don't really care, I have to make preparations for my plan, come to think of it the plan has already been through several preparations, Preparations A-G were failures, but Preparation H is right on the hole" Joker said he walked away laughing
Harley collapsed to the ground tears in her eyes and placing her hands between her legs, it was really over, there was no more her and Joker anymore, how could this happen, she looked over at Batman he had regained conciseness and he looked at Harley then spoke to her
"Where is Joker, Harley, where did Joker go?" Batman said
"Like I'd ever tell you, we broke up so I'm not in the mood to talk about him, especially to you, however you could be a gentleman and help me up, we aren't enemies anymore" Harley said
"Fine" Batman said as he helped Harley get to her feet her tears had smeared her makeup it was all running down her cheeks, she looked like hell worn over, then out of nowhere like a bolt of lightning Harley was Kissing Batman, as their lips locked Bruce felt his hatred for her melt away and new feelings were washing over him, Harley was rather cute after all, and it had been quite some time since he'd been with any woman, he thought oh heck why not, and so now it was Batman and Harley
Harley's heart was fluttering with excitement she had just really kissed Batman, she was on the rebound and he was a strong man she felt alive with him, plus she wanted to screw over Joker and what better way than with Batman.
"Come on I'll take you to my place, you can get cleaned up and put something warm on, you seem to be trembling a little Harley" Batman said
"Ok, why not, yeah I feel that this is going to be a good thing Bats" Harley said
Just like that they walked away holding hands it was the start of a beautiful relationship
End of Chapter One, Chapter Two on its way
