The Joker sat on the bed grumbling to himself his suit a mess and Liquor bottles littered all over the room. It had been at least a week since Harley had up and left him and he had no idea where she was though he had several idea's what had happened.
The first thought was that she had run off to the weed again to banter on about their fights and yet how much she adored him like she usually did and then return to his side yet again to which they would continue with their twisted relationship.
The second thought was that she had tried going solo and would take out Batman alone which annoyed him as she was getting more skilled in her crime pattern and almost outdid him until he taught her where her place was.
Or she had gone insane and gone on a crime spree to make her feel better about their fights and ended up being thrown in Arkham Asylum again until she broke out yet again and decided to run into his arms again. Little did he know that all of the above where a huge Zero and she had run into the arms of his worst enemy. He sighed heavily "I admit she is an annoying bitch but she sure is a cutie and is great in bed".
At Wayne mansion
Harley lay on her bed quietly she was still thinking about the Joker but not as much a before she just remembered what crimes they pulled together and all the abuse she received but apart from that it was all a blank the man she had on her mind now was BRUCE WAYNE.
She was wearing a white bathrobe as she had just gotten out of the shower a while ago. Her hair was still wet and covered by a towel; water ran down her neck and across her chest like a raindrop on a window pane. She sighed heavily "Geez this is no good I can't keep mooning over Mistah J I have to forget him and move on I'm with Bats now YEAH I'm a good girl" she reminded herself crossly.
Suddenly her bedroom door opened and Bruce entered "Need some company?" he said with a kind smile. He had been eavesdropping but would never admit it.
"Sure I could sure use some" she said with a small smile and patted the bed as a sign of acceptance.
Bruce sat next to her on the bed and ruffled her hair "Still trying to get over him huh?" He said kindly as he could understand Harley's feelings at this point as was very supportive in her readjustment to life.
Harley nodded "Yeah but its only coz I can remember all the abuse he gave me and the life of crime I lived" she said sadly.
Bruce tilted her head up "Would you like to change?" he said kindly his eyes gentle.
Harley blushed but tried to remain composed "Sure but how?" she said nervously trying not to swoon.
Bruce smiled "Create a new persona like I did but instead of Harley Quinn the clown how about we bring out your hidden shine" he said playing with a strand of her hair.
2 weeks later
Batman was standing on a rooftop watching the city with a stern and composed look using his bat binoculars to see far distances. He was leaning on his knees to get a closer look and to remain hidden better
"You see anything yet?" Harley asked curiously placing her hands on her hips.
"Not yet Jewel but we should keep investigating" Batman said straightening up and turning to face her.
Harley had REALLY changed her persona and appearance since joining Batman and actually felt bold and free enough to style her outfit how SHE wanted unlike with The Joker who would manipulate her into wearing HIS ideal clothing.
Her blonde hair was still in its usual bunches but she had a black hairband in with 2 purple glitter diamonds on the left side. She had red lipstick on rather than her usual black or plain pink for a whole new bold appearance.
She was wearing a V front black zip opening corset tube top that ended under her chest with a black lace frill across the top. It was patterned with 3 diagonal lines of purple glitter diamonds on the front. This had been a combination between Bruce and herself as he had suggested the corset as a joke but as per usual she had taken it seriously then suggested diamonds.
Of course she had gloves as they were essential to her clothing but they were uneven on purpose to make her outfit unique. On her left hand she had a black wrist length glove on her right hand with a 1 large purple glitter diamond on the front. Her left glove was also black but reached her upper arm and had medium sized purple glitter diamonds up the side and ended at her upper arm.
On her lower torso was even more revealing and that was where batman usually peeked (next to her chest). She was wearing Black mini shorts that ended under her but with a button fastening and a zip with 2 large purple glitter diamonds on the front either side. One her legs she had fishnet tights that were hidden by her shorts and her knee length high heeled boots which were also patterned with Purple glitter diamonds up the sides.
Harley blinked "What?" she said innocently batting her big blue eyes completely unaware that he was staring at her.
Batman chuckled "I guess that outfit was a good choice after all since it shows all your best parts" he teased.
Harley turned red "You pervert!" she yelled crossly but in secret she had designed this so she could wind his favour and show the Joker that she WAS attractive and he had been holding her back.
Batman grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his chest "I'm a rumoured playboy remember so your fresh game to me Quinn" he teased kissing her passionately.
Harley was taken aback by the kiss and pulled away and turned away from him embarrassed "T…That was mean" she said quietly.
Batman shrugged "Why isn't that what you wanted?" he said playfully.
"That was my first kiss" she said quietly her eyes tearful.
Batman was shocked "You mean…You and The Joker never…"he began unable to believe his ears.
Harley nodded "It was just sex to him he always received and I never got anything in return apart from abuse and torment" she said tearfully.
Batman wrapped his arms around her "Sorry that was wrong of me Quinn; forgive me" he said sincerely. Before she could answer there was an explosion at the weapons lab downtown "That'll be him now Quinn let's move!" he said sternly.
Harley nodded "He's going to PAY!" she snarled angrily to herself.
At weapons lab
"Who knew the world could make such delightful toys for such a charming fellow as me" The Joker chuckled. He had to stop himself from saying "Right Harls" or "Baby". It was true it just wasn't as much fun without Harley around.
Suddenly a window smashed and Batman appeared from the ceiling with a fierce frown his eyes sharp and cold. He was tired of the games the joker played placing so many innocent lives in danger.
The Joker grinned wickedly "Oh if it isn't my arch nemesis old batface; How's life for you eh Brucey boy" he jeered.
"Enough games Joker you're going straight to Arkham!" Batman said darkly.
"Really well then time I got serious" the Joker said with a frown then sprayed poison gas at him from his flower and ran off howling with laughter as Bruce choked breathlessly.
"No worries B I got this" Harley said chasing after the Joker furiously.
"Quinn be careful!" Batman yelled loudly as she dashed after her EX lover and boss.
In lower labs
"Where did that slime ball go?" Harley muttered to herself as she searched intently.
"Up here cutie!" The Joker cried as he kicked her in the back from behind sending her flying into a cabinet so she hit her face. "Aw did that hurt well this will be even more painful!" The Joker sneered edging closer but stopped when Harley turned to face him.
"What's the matter Puddin? Why did you stop?" Harley sneered a devious look on her face. Her eyes gleamed with deviousness as she gazed upon the Joker's look of disbelief.
"No…Harley…It can't be…you left ME for HIM?!" The Joker said in disbelief. His heart and mind were filled with rage, jealousy and heartbreak at the same time.
Harley straightened up and dusted herself off "That's right Joker and its DARK JEWEL now" she said kicking him in the gut and laughed as he writhed on the floor "hurts don't it well you'll feel worse when you picture me with Bats from your cell in Arkham" she sneered.
"H…Harley?" The Joker whimpered fearfully as she pulled a samurai sword from its sheath and raised it above her head a maniacal grin spread across her face. He closed his eyes and waited for the blow that would kill him.
"JEWEL STOP!" Batman yelled appearing suddenly and panting out of breath.
"No way Bats his time is up he deserves this!" Harley yelled tears welling up angrily.
"If you do you'll just be giving into him and you'll be his minion all over again Harley just let him rot in Arkham instead" Batman panted.
Harley stood still for another 15 minutes then sighed crossly and put away her sword "It's not because of what you said.." she answered crossly "It's coz I want him to suffer like I did" Harley said bitterly.
Batman cuffed Joker and smirked at him "Looks like I won your most prized possession Joker. And the best part is she's outshined you from day 1" he teased.
The joker snarled and glared at Batman "we'll see how long this lasts Batsy but she'll come back…she ALWAYS does" he smirked then burst into maniacal laughter.
