Dr. Jack Napier walked down the hallway of Arkham Asylum. He was to meet the boss Joan Leland for a basic walkthrough of his new work area. He couldn't help but be rather excited about his chance to work at such a renowned place.
Suddenly he came across a woman with dark hair in a straight bob. Her eyes were brown and intense. She was wearing a white lab coat that reached her waist, A blue shirt, a grey pleated mini skirt and black stiletto's.
"Dr Joan Leland?" He said in a curious yet hopeful voice. He hadn't been told what she looked like only that she would be waiting for him in the dangerous patient cell wing.
The woman smiled "You must be Dr. Jack Napier it's nice to meet you" the woman said reaching out to shake his hand politely.
Jack was relieved that he had found the right person. He was even more pleased that she was a polite woman as he had expected a cold stern dictator "The same here Dr. Leland I am familiar with your work. You are quite the renowned Psychologist".
Dr. Leland smiled "Thank you that's very kind of you to say". She then released her hand from his and held her arm out towards the cell door leading towards the wards "Shall we?" she said smiling.
"After you" Jack Napier said politely. He had been raised to be polite to women and treat each person as you would wish to be treated. His father had been a very cruel and abusive man but his mother was a gentle loving but stern guardian.
"I will warn you some of these patients are very dangerous but I'm sure after some training you will be ready for them" Dr. Leland said encouragingly.
"I'm grateful for your encouragement Dr. Leland and I will strive to make you proud" he said in a professional yet pleased tone.
Suddenly he heard a playful hum coming from one of the cells and went to investigate further. When he reached the cell his eyes widened as he saw the patient behind the glass cell door.
A young woman in her early 30's was hung upside down from her bed. She had a plushie clown doll in her hands and was chewing gum. Upon her cell walls were posters of Harlequins, red posters with black diamonds and Hyena's. Upon the window ledge was a picture of two Hyena's wearing red collars.
Her appearance was somewhat different from that of a usual patient he would have expected. She had baby blue eyes and golden blonde hair tied into 2 bunches either side of her head. Her figure was rather slender and well built proving she worked out rather often; in a natural thought she was very pretty and a natural beauty.
Dr. Leland walked up behind him and frowned "That's Harley Quinn one of our ex-doctors she was very skilled and renowned but for some unknown reason one day she snapped and turned into a merciless killer" she explained.
"I see..." Dr. Napier said still staring at the woman before him.
Harley saw him staring and back flipped from her bed landing carefully on her feet and smiled at Dr. Napier. She walked up to the glass beaming at the pair "Hi Dr. Leland you look well I see you got a newbie with ya" she said playfully.
Dr. Leland became firm "She's friendly enough but be careful she is VERY un predictable and cunning. She killed several people before seducing, murdering and torturing them" she warned.
"I understand Dr. Leland shall we be off?" Jack said to which Dr. Leland walked ahead and he began to follow.
Before he left Harley winked at him playfully "See you around cutie" she teased waving at him flirtatiously.
Jack smiled and sheepishly waved back. He was aware she was dangerous but there was no harm in waving goodbye to her was there?
that evening
Dr Napier opened the door to his office placing his briefcase on the floor. As he straightened up he saw a black rose upon his desk in a white vase. It had a small tag attached to the stem which intrigued him. He walked towards his desk and read the note carefully then smirked.
Come and see me the next time you wanna play
See you around cutie
Harley

Dr. Napier picked up the rose carefully and sniffed it's sweet perfume. He was somewhat touched by her sentiment but knew she was most likely playing with him too. He chuckled to himself "Looks like Miss Quinn has a lot in store for me".
