Nightwing stood on top of a rooftop in Gotham with Batman and Robin. He decided to help the duo out because he got a small tip from his brother that Bruce hasn't been getting enough sleep. He basically had to fight with the older man to let him come from Bludhaven to give some help. "Well Bats, how about we split up? I'll take the down town area and you can have up here."

The Dark Knight grunted in response. "Leave your comm on, just in case you need back up."

"Sure thing."

Everything was going great. He was able to stop a couple of robber from getting away with a ladies purse. He returned the stolen items with a smile and took back to the roof tops. Nightwing ended up near crime alley, standing on top of the theater where Bruce's parents were murdered. His guard was up because he was in Red's territory and he didn't want a fight. Leaning over the edge he looked down behind the building. It was dark down there and hard for him to see but he did hear that some one was down there. The person was sobbing quietly but their sniffles were loud. Nightwing cocked an eyebrow and made his way down.

"Hello? Is some one there?" He slowly went down the alley until he came upon a figure sitting on a garbage bin, legs pulled up to their chest and head resting between their knees. Checking the area more carefully he started to go up to the figure but stopped once his foot hit something heavy on the ground. Bending over he picked up the item and it turned out to be a large red and blue hammer. "Harley?" He could see the figure tense up. "Harley what are you doing here?"

"What do you want boy blunder?" She sniffed out. Head still stuck between her knees.

Nightwing rolled his eyes. "You know I'm Nightwing now."

"W-whatever. You are still Boy blunder to me."

He laughed. "Yeah and Joker."

Harley started to bawl her eyes out again. Nightwing took a guess that the Clown Prince of Crime had to be the reason behind her tears. Leaning the hammer up against the garbage bin he hopped up next to her and nudged her side playfully and asked her what was wrong. "Joker didn't hurt you

again did he?"

Harley lifted her head but only to a certain point where the raven hair vigilante couldn't see still and tried to wipe her tears. "You're right. It's hard knowing that the one you love treats you like absolute shit." She cried out. Once Nightwing could see her face he could see the make up that was running down her face. Pulling out a piece of cloth he started to wipe all the tears and make up off for her. He felt bad for Harley. Was she the Joker's lover, girlfriend? Hell was she just a fuck buddy? Either way Joker treated her badly and at the moment, seeing her so broke down, it started to kill him on the inside.

If Batman seen the way he was treating her. He would've put in away in a cell some where just to make sure he wasn't being controlled. Pushing the thought behind him he got up off the garbage bin and held out his hand. "Come on, let's go get a cup of coffee."

"Like this?" She questioned. "Wouldn't people be a little upset seeing a hero with a baddie like me?"

The teen shrugged. "Who cares? You obviously need some one to talk to at the moment and I'm right here." Harley got up and picked up her hammer and hooked her arm with Nightwing and the two left the alley way.

If you like please review. I'm hoping to continue this!~
