This is my first time posting a story. I don't own the known characters, nor do I own the lyrics to the song featured below. Please feel free to leave me some feedback, after all I'd like to get better, or at least know I am headed in the right direction.

Skylar Grey, "Wreak Havoc"

Cassandra POV

They call me a menace, they say that I'm cursed

I can hear the music clearly all the way down at the end of their drive way. I sure hope the neighbors are at the party and enjoying it so that the cops aren't called.

But somethin' about me is makin' 'em jealous

I carefully make my way up the drive and into Ruby and Sam's house where the front door is wide open. Their Halloween party seems to have been a success; it's filled wall to wall with bodies in various states of dress and undress. Speaking of, I look down and run my pale hands down my hot pants and fishnets, if you can even call them hot pants, they fit more like a pair of sequined underwear. This is a big departure from my character and routine. Why did I agree?

So listen and learn… I heard 'em like cattle.

Cause I'm surrounded by cowards

And I don't give a fuck when I walk into battle…

Tonight though, tonight is Halloween. I can be someone different, someone ballsier, and someone unafraid. Tonight, I'm Harley. I suppose there is a reason Harley Quinn has always been my favorite comic character. She's sexy, quirky, and brilliant; she loves big and fights hard. In certain areas she is the complete opposite of me, but tonight I am she and she is me. I'm embracing my inner self tonight, no thoughts of consequences. I'm feeling good tonight and I fully intend to embrace this feeling.

And thats why I got all the power
I'm where you wanna be
Ain't no one ahead of me
All of my enemies made a decision

I can see Sam's mane of hair underneath what looks to be a Toy Story hat. I wonder if he and Ruby did a couples costume; I scan the flood of people for a Bo Peep outfit. No luck… Well might as well head over to the host. I zig zag my way through bodies of people, some I recognize from work or through network affiliation. I don't see the one I secretly or not so secretly want to see the most. Smiles and laughter is being shared everywhere around me, I even have to fix my hair a few times when my pigtails get tugged a little too roughly. Alcohol has definitely been flowing for a while.

It's better to follow me
I make no apologies
All of my sins I would repeat and I repeat
Cause I'ma be me 'til the death of me, oh yeah

Remember to play your part tonight Cassie… no, not Cassie. Harley.

I can smell your fear
The only reason that I'm here
Is to wreak havoc

With a renewed confidence I straighten up and play with a few of the players in the crowd, earning big grins and laughter; a lot of it my own.

Everybody prayin' that I'll change, yeah
Maybe one day but tomorrow I'll be back at it
Cause bad habits they die hard

I finally make my way to where Sam and a group of guys surrounding him are standing. I can feel all their eyes on me and it empowers me, for once I embrace the giddiness instead of retreat from it.

Putting my acting chops to work for a Brooklyn accent I flirtily ask the guys, "Anyone seen my puddin'?" I intentionally lock eyes on Jared waiting for him to see through my disguise. "Well?" I ask with a twinge of annoyance when no one responds. I pop my hip out and use the prop baseball bat I brought with me to lean my weight on it.

"I'll be your pudding!" Some guy at the edge of the group boisterously declares and the men all start laughing. I smile at him and then drop my façade and face Sam; gently poking him in the stomach with the tip of the bat.

"Are you seriously still trying to figure out who I am?" I ask. It's a bit comical how at the sound of my natural voice the wheels seem to begin to turn for him.

We live fast we die hard
Go against me you'll die hard
Die hard

"Cassandra?" He reaches out for me and drags me into a tight hug. "Wow girl, you dress up well! I really never expected this as your costume." He states shocked. "You totally had me, no clue over here." He says gesturing to his head. I laugh at his expression and he begins to release me.

As I am just being released, I am engulfed into yet another hug with perhaps more force than the first. All I see before I'm submerged in blonde ringlets is a crazed looking Ruby holding a staff of some sort. I guess they did do a couples outfit. "Cassandra! Oh my god, you look amazing!" She releases me long enough to look at her husband before she crushes me into her petite frame again. "Doesn't she look amazing babe!"

I can only assume he agreed with her because she finally releases me and holds me at arm's length. "Suicide Squad Harley, I approve. You look fuck hot." I grin at her approval. I in return look at her and Jared's Toy Story outfits.

"Kid friendly I see," I say while pointing at her outfit.

"Yeah, we had a little party for the boys earlier. It's easier this way." She waves off just as a female stumbles up to our group with cups and a bottle of liquor in hand. "Oh Shots!" She yells loudly. "Drink, then we dance!" she dictates while passing cups of what I'm assuming is tequila. I hesitate slinging it back like the rest do, I'm not much of a drinker I'm pathetically light weight. "Drink!" she urges pushing it to my lips. I tip it back and sputter a cough after it has warmed its way down my throat and chest. Yup, it's tequila.

I dine with the blood on my hands
Thrive when I'm beatin' the man
All I learned in the pen
Is never get caught
Just get out and hit it again

"Yay! Now we dance!" she takes my bat and her staff and saddles them on her husband to watch while she drags us out to the large area they cleared for a dance floor. She dance-walks with a purpose straight through the crowd with me trailing behind her.

Straight outta context
Ain't see me come like it's phone sex
Ain't hear me tick like a Rolex
Cause I'm keepin' a nuclear conscience

I feel the music; the song feels as though it's tattooing its words into me. The bass is pumping loudly sending vibrations along my skin. We reach a destination deemed fit by my co-pilot. She spins to face me looking sultry with hooded eyes. I feel the effects of my surroundings, and evidently she is too. Her hands glide along my quickly perspiring skin and locks behind my neck bringing her closer to my frame. I've yet to do much moving and I have to question myself why. Ruby has my back, she's one of my best friends and supports me, I can feel her urging me to let loose. So I will, I'll just close my eyes and let go.

I fly like an atom bomb
In a world riddled with conflict
Hate that you need me
Wanna destroy me but you can't
You're gonna deploy me in the end
Better believe that I'ma be me 'til the death of me, oh yeah

Dean's POV

"Hey man, thanks for the lift." I say to the Uber driver as I grab my bag and proceed to get out.

"Thanks man. Looks like you're in for a fun night." He states pointing to the house we are stopped in front of.

I look up at the chaos in front of me, people flooding out the door, milling around various parts of the lawn, music and lights are spilling out through the open windows. Leave it to Ruby; she knows how to throw one hell of a party. I have to laugh at the mess this is going to be in the morning. "Yeah, looks to be one hell of a night. Happy Halloween man, take it easy." I say while closing the door.

I can smell your fear
The only reason that I'm here
Is to wreak havoc

I make my way up to the house with a few people hollering my name as I go. I slap hands with a couple guys and kiss the cheeks of a few women I know as I enter the crowded entryway. It truly is a mad house in here. Costumes of all kinds and types litter the room, for some clothing was optional. Hello Tinkerbell, I grin at a scantily clad fairy.

I scan the crowd for my brother and spot the goof along the back wall, is that a Toy Story hat? I'd attempt to wave if he was looking around, but his attention seems to be zeroed in on something or someone. I make my way over to him and slap him hard on the back. "You're starting to drool."

Startled he faces me, "Hey you made it! What's up man." We share a little bromance, which is silly since I basically see him everyday back in Vancouver.

"Yeah, just got in. Dude you and Ruby are crazy for putting this thing together."

Nodding he agrees, "Yeah tomorrow is going to be hell. But tonight, happy wife equals happy life." He smiles looking towards the large dance floor. "So where's your outfit dude? It's a Halloween party."

"What are you talking about, I'm wearing it." I look down at the Batman logo on the t-shirt I'm wearing and then look back at him, "I'm Batman." Fucker just laughs.

Cause bad habits they die hard
We live fast we die hard

"So, where is wifey? I got her a little something," I say while holding up my poorly wrapped gift.

Sam nods in the direction of the dance floor. "She's Bo Peep, she's out there dancing with Harley Quinn."

Harley huh, I search out the girls and it doesn't take long to spot them. I can tell why Sammy is watching Ruby like a hawk; she's dancing sinfully against whoever Harley is. I'm beginning to sport a chubby just watching Harley writhe on beat to the music. Her pale hands run along her body and through her hair, her hips swaying in those flimsy excuse for shorts. I want to be acquainted with her…

Go against me you'll die hard

I'm nudged out of my trance with the dancing beauty when I hear Sam say, "You know Harley, that's Cassie."

Die hard

Cassandra POV

I feel free. I feel good. Bodies surround me. Ruby has me. The few minutes that we have been dancing has caused sweat to pepper my hair line, my skin feels slick. My heart is pumping in tune with the music. I'm living again. How long has it been since I've felt so happy and alive.

And if love is real
Maybe I'm just too bad
To remember how good it feels

I feel Ruby's body heat retreating so I open my eyes to see what she's doing. She smiles faintly which confuses me. I smile back until I'm startled by the body molding itself behind me. A strong male arm wraps itself around my torso settling his large hand on the exposed skin of my lower stomach. My heart begins to flutter wildly and I want to turn, I want to see who he is. Somehow, I know.

My heart and my mind are telling me I know, my body is screaming at me; my knees are warning me that they are about to give up. My tears are in my throat, I know who it is, there is no need to turn around to confirm. Ruby's smile basically told me as much.

My heart is still

His body cages me in, he is now my support. His free hand begins to drag up my thigh, over my hip, leaving goose flesh as it trails. Higher it rises, past my rib cage, and I hold my breath. My arm is lifted and brought up around his neck, his face now cheek to cheek with mine.

"Breath." He says.

I can smell your fear
The only reason that I'm here
Is to wreak havoc

I exhale shakily as he rocks our bodies back and forth. The music is no longer my focus; no… all I feel, live and know is him.

Everybody prayin' that I'll change, yeah
Maybe one day but tomorrow I'll be back at it

I'm lost in him, my eyes close involuntarily as the first kiss scorches my neck. The hand on my stomach is searing and heavy.

Cause bad habits they die hard
We live fast we die hard
Go against me you'll die hard

He spins me around quickly and hungrily attacks my lips. We've been starved. It's been too long and his kisses tell me he feels the same.

Die hard

"Puddin."
