In this story I took some liberties with the universe of both Kick-Ass and Batman. As if Hit Girl/Harley Quinn wasn't strange enough an idea haha. Well I hope you like. Let me know what you think. I'll try to follow up soon!
Mindy had been on the run for 2 years. She couldn't go back to New York. She was on the FBI's most wanted list after her vigilante behaviour. She thought about fleeing across the border, Canada maybe. Crime fighting was all her father taught her, all she ever knew about. At a truck stop diner she watched a news broadcast about a series of crimes by a notorious gang leader and it looked like he was going to be striking again and it was going to be big. Mindy was doing her best not to bring attention to herself but it seemed like this was her calling, this could get the police on her side. She just had to get a map and figure out where this Gotham City was.
Thugs dressed in strange masks and armed to the teeth were loading shipments of weapons on the back of a truck in back of an old warehouse. Out of the shadows jumped a small figure dressed in purple; she wielded a long staff.
"Not this bullshit tonight!" One of the masked goons pulled his piece out from his hip.
The fast purple heroine struck him in the face with the staff and did her best to fight off the others but some of them were quicker and landed a few hits to her body, some to her face. She was knocked on her ass and looked to be in deep trouble as she was surrounded by Smiley Faces, Wolf heads and Clown masks. She heard a swooping sound and yells of terror. Gun fire and the men thrown about but she couldn't see the one doing it. She picked herself up and that's when she saw him. This towering figure, dressed all in black with a cape. But no this was not the man who trained her. This was a man dressed as a bat. He walked right past her to investigate the truck. He grabbed something and headed back to his car, armoured and also black. Mindy followed him, running up and trying to think of something to say but he stopped and turned to her, she almost fell down again.
"Uh..."
"Go home!" He proceeded to get into the car without looking back.
"But, wait! I can..." The vehicle revved up and shot out of there into the night like a crack of thunder.
She went out every night trying to find out who this guy was. Clearly he had been at this longer than she had. It had been almost a whole week. She found different ledges to spy from. She used night vision goggles but just couldn't seem to see anything though on her hunt for this... 'Man-Bat?' she managed to save a few people from muggings; she had no more leads on this gangster. She perched herself on a new ledge and this was the night she saw him for the second time. He snuck up right in front of her.
She was shocked, almost falling backward, he helped her stay seated, "I'm only going to tell you this once. Stay out of it!"
"I'm sorry, please. I could help you. I've been doing this as long as I can remember...My name is Hit Girl, sir, " she said, saluting him, "I heard word about your city and I would like to team up with you to take down this Joker."
He remained silent through this and finally spoke up, "No. I work alone."
She found herself getting more intimidated the longer he stared down at her, "B-But, I think I could really help. I've fought worse fuckers."
"I've been watching you. This is more than you can handle. Go home, Miss McCready and leave this to me. This city is my responsibility."
"So you're telling me you don't think I have what it takes?"
"I am telling you to back down now or there will be...consequences."
He was about to jump down off the roof when Mindy lost her cool, "Hey, Bat-Douche!" He stopped and turned to her once more, "I'll show you what I'm made of. I'll bring him in!"
"It would be stupid of you to try. You aren't just dealing with him. You're dealing with her too. Listen to me when I say back down." With those parting words he jumped down. Mindy ran over and leaned over the edge to see him gliding with his cape.
"Show off, " Mindy muttered. This guy was dark and mysterious but he was also being a huge dick. She'd show him, she'd put a stop to this clown's plans and bring him, his girlfriend and his whole payroll in dead or alive.
In an abandoned warehouse down by the docks there was indeed plans underway for all of Gotham. The gangster known as The Joker had been working on a chemical that was being contained in these huge glass cylinders. It was heavily guarded but Mindy managed to get enough ammunition to snipe and school these fools. She was surprised by just how easy it was to locate; maybe this Bat guy wasn't nearly as sharp as he appeared.
Once she took care of the goons she dropped down through a skylight into the warehouse. Inside she found only one person guarding the cylinders and she looked batshit crazy. She had clown makeup on and was dressed very scantily clad with a tight white top and short shorts with heels.
She was startled by the gun fire only briefly, she wasn't scared, she knew the caped crusader himself would be trying something, "Well your new! Where's Bats?"
Mindy pointed two 9mm's at this clown chick, "Back away from those! Now!"
"Ha! So he's giving his kid sidekicks guns now? I guess the old man has flipped. I like that!"
"Who the fuck are you?"
"My that's some mouth on you! Kiss your mother with that?"
"Listen, cunt!"
"No! You listen you little dweeb! Mr.J's gonna be back any minute and you're gonna be in a whole mess of trouble! I can hardly wait!" she laughed.
"Who designed your outfit? A 13 year old boy?"
The clown woman clapped her hands, "Oh, you're a girl! Took me a minute!"
"You're going downtown, clown-bitch! I'm sending you back to whatever sorry ass whore circus you came from!"
"Ooh! I'm shaking! What do they call you?"
"Hit Girl!"
"Sorry, Tit Girl?" She laughed mockingly.
"HIT GIRL!" Mindy was having just about enough of her.
"Sorry! Sorry! But you gotta admit it has a nice ring to it."
Mindy got closer, the clown backed up slowly with her hands still up, getting ever so closer to the table. "You go for anything and I shoot!" Mindy ordered.
"You don't have the balls, kid!" She did try to run. Mindy started firing both guns at her, "Shit! She wasn't bluff'n!" She jumped behind a table as Mindy opened fire again until her clips ran out.
"What do I call you? Clown Woman?"
She laughed in a snarky tone, "I ain't no nerd like you! I'm Harley Quinn! That ain't gonna matter much to you in about ten seconds!" She waited for Mindy to reload and that's when she made her move, running and tackling her to the floor. Mindy was a lot stronger than what she was anticipating as she rolled her and pinned her to the cold, wet floor. "Fuck you! Fuck you!" Mindy punched her hard in the face. Harley kicked her, sending her to somersault backward but still maintain her stance.
"Quit smiling! I'm going to kick those teeth in!" Harley waved her over to come and try. The older woman managed to get the upper hand, she brought Mindy down and choked her, gripping her neck under her thigh. Mindy was losing conciousness. Her body went limp and Harley thought her problems were over. She was going to remove the obvious wig and mask to figure who she was but Mindy 's eyes opened and she clocked that lunatic in the face.
Harley doubled back and laughed despite some blood, "You got a lot of fight in you don't you?"
Mindy took out her butterfly knife and demonstrated what she could so with it, distracting Harley before she threw it her way. It looked like it nailed her right in the shoulder. She fell back behind a table. Mindy went over to check. Harley was slumped over on her side. Mindy extended an arm to move her but Harley surprised her by shooting her in the face. A red gas shot out of this hairdryer like gun. Mindy stumbled backward. She felt weird. Her vision was clouded and all she could see was pink. Harley cackled. Soon Mindy was laughing too as she tried feeling her way around.
Harley grabbed hold of her, squeezing her shoulders, "Not so fast. You ain't going nowhere." She could see Harley's face, that wicked smile. Mindy was feeling overwhelmed and absolutely head over heels.
Uh oh! What has Mindy gotten herself into? To Be Continued!
