Pairing: Richard Dick Grayson/Nightwing Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn
Chapter 1
Harley had really screwed up this time. All of the explosives that she had set up hadn't deployed, which inturn didn't distract Batman or his buddy, Nightwing. They got two free tickets to the Arkham Asylum and now were trapped there until Joker made another plan. Well, she was. Joker had escaped weeks ago, but she didn't have the courage to break herself out. She felt that this was Mr. J's way of punishing her for her insolence. Harley sighed.
"I'm so sorry Mr. J," Harley whispered to herself. She sat on her bed kicking her legs, mentally kicking herself for what she had done. A tap on her cell bars startled her, giving her slight hope that it was Joker ready to take her back into his arms. Her face immediately fell when she saw a guard there with Nightwing standing closely behind.
'Figures,' she thought frowning at them.
"Expecting your boyfriend, Witch?" the guard sneered. Nightwing gave him a look as he unlocked the gate.
"I need to ask you a few questions," Nightwing said walking into the cell and handcuffing her so she didnt have a chance to escape. She rolled her eyes. f
"I'm not sayin' nothin'. There is nothing you can do to me that would make me betray Mr. J," Harley growled.
"It's up to you. We can either do this the easy way or the hard way. Easy way being you talk to me. Hard way being you get forced to talk with Batman...you know how that rolls."
"What's wrong? Afraid to do it yourself?"
"No, it's not that I'm afraid to. You see I would, but Batman told me that he should be the one to make you talk. Something about...he had done it before?" Nightwing questioned sarcastically as if he hadn't known about the last time she was interrigated by Batman. Harley gulped. She had remembered all too well. The glare, the slams of his fist, and not to mention the cracking of his knuckles when he balled his hands into fists. To put it simply, she did not want to be talking to him.
"So what's it gonna be?" Nightwing asked crossing his arms.
"Fine, Bird-Brain. What do ya want?"
"Joker, as you know escaped a few weeks ago. There had been no signs of him anywhere. Well, until just recently. He was seen robbing a jewelry store and then again at a science facility. Tell me. What is he planning next?"
"Ha! Too bad I can't help you. I mean it's not like I've been tagging along with him...I've been here...He must be really mad at me," Harley said realization dawning on her.
Nightwing looked away. His face slightly showing a bit of sympathy. Harley looked away too, her face full of sorrow.
"You know, I think you're better than him. You can do way better than dealing with a pain in the ass like him."
Harley was silent as he said this. He uncuffed her and walked out of the cell, letting the guard lock it behind him.

"Well, did she talk?" Batman questioned.
"She says she doesnt know. He didn't tell her his plans and left her in here," Nightwing stated.
"No doubt due to her screw up from before."
"So now we just keep looking for evidence."
"Yes," Batman grunted and followed Nightwing out of the Asylum as it began to lock down for the night.

That night Harley couldnt sleep at all. Half of it had to do with the hard bed that they made the inmates sleep on and the other was focused on what Nightwing had said. How would he know what she deserved? No one knew Joker like she did. Harley sighed and hugged her legs close to her.
"Psst. Harley."
Harley's head jerked up at she looked at her cell door. It was open. The Joker stepped out of the darkness and into the cell.
"Puddin' you came back!"
"Shh," Joker hushed her with a very annoyed look on his face. "You will not fail me another time."
"I won't screw up again. Never. I promise," Harley whispered and smiled. She jumped up and hugged him tightly. "I won't let you down, Mister J. Never again."
"I know, Dear. I know." Joker smiled evilly. An evil plan running through his head. No, She would never disappoint him again.
