The Joker paced back and forth as he plotted his scheme of getting revenge on Batman "I'll have to keep hidden and heal first but then I'll kick that Dork knight's ass!" he said deviously.

Harley was sat upon some crates taking in what she was saying but she couldn't help but peer at herself in the reflection of the car bonnet reflection. She looked so different compared to her normal self and she felt scared a little of what she'd become.

She had only felt confident before due to adrenaline and eagerness to be with him but now a small part of her sanity was screaming at her to stop. She bowed her head and sighed heavily.

The Joker stopped pacing and stared at Harley she was looking despondent and somewhat scared. He felt a little concerned but at the same time curious "Something troubling you Harls?" The Joker cooed walking towards her.

"I...I...um" Harley stammered she didn't know what to say "It's just..." she began but couldn't think of anything.

The Joker sat next to her "I know what it is your scared aren't you" he said smiling at her.

"Uh huh" Harley sighed feeling like she had disappointed him.

The Joker smiled "Cheer up pooh you'll get used to it your just new at this is all" The Joker said and kissed her on the lips.

Harley's eyes widened this was different to back when she was his doctor he was being gentle with her and caring. She closed her eyes and returned his kiss cupping his cheeks in her hands.

The Joker pulled away "Feel better Pooh?" he said deviously.

"Yes sir" She said leaping to her feet and saluting him proudly.

"Good girl now you can come help me with my work since I can't exactly write yet" he chuckled.

"Sure thing Mistah-J" Harley said taking his free hand and walking alongside him. She would soon get used to this life she just needed some training.

Back at Arkham

"The Joker BROKE out?!" Batman said in amazement. He had left The Joker in a critically injured position so how on earth could he have escaped?

"He wasn't alone I can tell you that some of our staff claim he had a helper in this but everyone patient here is accounted for" Dr. Leland said firmly.

"It...It was Harley" Dr. Smith said nervously appearing behind them.

"WHAT?!" Dr. Leland said confused and stunned. Why and how would Harley do such a thing.

"She was friendly with The Joker but I never thought anything of it" Dr. Leland said shrugging.

"He seduced her" Batman said firmly.

"WHAT?!" the two doctors said in shock and horror.

"It's the only possible option and you know how cunning he is" Batman said firmly.

"Oh Harley" Dr. Leland sighed she had so much faith in Harleen but she had fallen victim to The Joker.

At Funnibone warehouse

Harley was writing down The Joker's idea humming cheerfully as she did so "I got it all down Puddin" she said showing him the plan.

"Excellent work Harls" the Joker said patting her head. She was proving to be quite a useful Hench girl. He took the plan and rolled it up and then turned to face her "Not to be rude my dear but what exactly can you do?" The Joker asked suspiciously.

If she was merely there to be cute then she would be a pain in the ass and no fun at all which was not what he wanted. He wanted a gal that could be useful and could help him when fighting batman.

"I...I have a qualification in Gymnastics" Harley said shyly.

The Joker's eyes widened there was more to this chick then hit the eye. He smirked "Ok then pooh let's see your moves" he said deviously.

Harley took a few steps back then did 5 flips and did a quick spin in the air before landing on her feet "How was that Puddin?" she said smiling.

The Joker was impressed she was rather flexible for a girl in her 30's "That was great Harls now what about fighting?" he said patting her head.

Harley's headdress dropped "I..I only know basic karate I never took it any further" she said apologetically.

"That's ok Pooh we'll just have to work on it" He said pinching her cheek fondly.

"Ok Mistah-J" she said happily and hugged him.

The Joker winced as she hugged him "Um...Harls" he groaned painfully.

"Oh sorry Puddin I forgot" she apologized nervously.

The Joker smiled "No problem pooh just think more before you act" he said patting her head again.

Harley smiled she would enjoy being The Joker's sidekick from now on and she could get back at Batman for hurting him so often. She blushed a little as she thought of all the romantic moments they could have together.
