"Are you alright Ms. Harley?" Alfred asked as he watched Harley curl her hair with a curling iron. She held the iron in place around a piece of her hair and turned around to Alfred. "Me? Yeah! I'm awesome Alfred! Just a, a bit nervous that's all!" she responded.

Alfred placed a bowl of strawberries on Harley's side table. "I assume it has to do with meeting the others. Am I correct?" he asked folding his hands behind his back.

Harley sighed. "Yeah, it is kinda. Mostly actually. It's just gonna feel so awkward ya know? I mean, I fought them when I was Harley Quinn and now that I've changed...I don't think they'll believe me." she said in a sad tone.

Alfred gave Harley a smile. "Now Ms. Harley if there's something to be happy about, it's that you've change. You have changed dramatically if I do say so myself Madame. And believe me, they'll understand. It wasn't your fault, dear Heaven No! The Joker, as the madman he is, corrupted your mind and fed you lies after lies. You didn't turn bad on your own, the Joker created a monster out of you. But you've found your way out and made a difference for yourself. That is something very hard to do Miss. And I'm much honored to say that I am proud of you Ms. Harley." he said.

Harley smiled genuinely at the middle-aged man in front of her. God, this man was like a father to her. Always telling her that he's proud, guiding her, teaching her, and giving her advice in hard, troubling times. "Thanks Alf." Harley thanked using Bruce's nickname for Alfred. He smiled.

"You're truly welcome Ms. Harley. Oh and your hair is heating up." he said walking out. Harley quickly removed the curling iron and touched the piece of hair.

"OW!" She exclaimed as she fanned the air with her burned hand. She blew at the hot hair and laughed to herself as she blew the hair.

Selina slammed her front apartment door close and threw herself on the couch. She rested her hand on her head and groaned. Isis, her cat, jumped on her stomach and meowed. She removed her hand hand stroked her cat swiftly.

"What am I going to do Isis? Bruce is with that crazy woman and he proved he won't leave her." she said.

"Maybe because you hurt him." Her house maid/friend Mildred said coming into the room.

Selina looked at Mildred and frowned. "Look, I didn't mean to. It was a mistake." she said angrily.

"You had sex with the man and broke his heart the same night!" Mildred exclaimed pushing up her glasses.

"It was a mistake." Selina repeated.

Mildred scoffed. "No crap Sherlock! That was a good man Selina, and yet you had to tell him you were cheating."

Selina gave Mildred a sharp look. "Shut the FUCK UP MILDRED! Damn! Goddamn!" Selina yelled.

Isis scurried under her mistress' table and hid from Selina's hissing like voice.

Mildred looked away from Selina and shook her head. She took her big glasses off and rubbed her eyes.

"Listen Selina. Ever since...then, you've not been acting like yourself. And I don't want you to be wrapped up in this guy. I know you loved him and still do, but you have got to move on. You even said that you've heard from the Underworld that Veronica Vreeland died because of revenge. She wanted Bruce very badly. And in the end she got killed! Shot to death! I don't want that to happen to you! Please Selina! Move on!" Mildred begged her friend.

Selina looked at her friend with a sad look. "I'm sorry, but I can't just get over a man like Bruce Wayne just like that. He isn't like the other men. Do you even remember how deeply in love we were? How passionate we were?" she asked.

Mildred rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, you guys were so passionate that you had sex in his house and left the same night." she said smartly.

"It was love." Selina corrected.

"Are you sure about that? Was it really? Or was it lust?" Mildred asked tilting her head.

Selina scowled at her friend and turned away. "Oh what do you even know? Your last boyfriend isn't even here for you anymore." she said with much attitude in her tone. Mildred gave a hurt look to Selina. "You're right, my last boyfriend died in a drive-by. If it wasn't for this messed up city, he would still be with me Selina. Excuse me, I have to go pick up groceries." she said picking up her keys and leaving the apartment.

Selina looked at the table and saw bags of fruits, vegetables, and other food there.

She sighed and ran a hand through her blonde hair. This past year and a half had been a living hell for Selina. Since she lost Bruce, she had been depressed. Bruce Wayne was everything a woman would want in a man. He was charming, handsome, funny, kind, caring and much more. She would've been in Bruce's arms right now if she hadn't had cheated on him. She could remember that night perfectly…

The night she broke his heart.

Selina had gotten dressed and was trying to sneaky like a cat. She had finally put her black shirt on when she heard Bruce stir in his bed. She turned around to see him rubbing his left eye and looking at her. Even in the night, his blue eyes brightly glowed through the darkness.

"Selina? Where are you going?" he asked.

Selina couldn't bear to look at him, she turned away and buttoned up her shirt.

"I'm leaving." she responded flatly.

Bruce just stared at her and was speechless. "Wh-what? Why?" he asked with much uncertainty. Selina didn't answer him and combed out her hair with her long nails.

"Did I do something to you?" he asked. "Please tell me."

Selina whirled around to him. "No. No Bruce you didn't do anything." she said.

"So, you just used me?" he asked in a hard tone.

"No! I never used you." she responded.

"Then why are you leaving?" he asked.

"Because I did something bad. Very bad to you." she answered.

"Selina, what happened between us just a couple of hours ago wasn't bad, not at all. It could never be because I lov-,"

"I cheated on you." Selina interrupted.

Total silence filled the air and tension began to raise between the woman and man. Bruce stared at Selina intensely.

"What did you just say?" he asked thinking he didn't hear correctly. Selina swallowed a gulp. She could never be seen crying.

"I cheated on you Bruce. I slept with another man." she repeated again.

Bruce looked so hurt and betrayed. Selina couldn't dare to look at him anymore. "You did what?" he demanded.

"I slept around Bruce. But I'm sorry. I really am." she said tears forming in her eyes.

By this time, Bruce had put on his robe and stood in front of Selina. She tried to touch his face, but he quickly grabbed her hands in a swift motion and released them by her sides.

"Don't! Don't you dare touch me Selina Kyle. You cheated on me? You were unfaithful? How could you? And I was going to say that I lov-no! No...never...not anymore." he said.

"Bruce, I-I-do love y-,"

"No you don't! If you did you wouldn't have done what you did! You were cheating and continued to have sex with me! People warned me about you, but I wouldn't listen. I should've. I should've listened to them. It's over Selina. Get out." he said angrily.

Selina touched him again and Bruce slapped her hand away.

"GET OUT NOW!" he screamed. Selina flinched and ran out of the room.

Selina let a tear flow down her cheek freely and wiped it away. She had been through so many things in her life. An abusive father, drinking mother who committed suicide, her sister going on another path, even her becoming a prostitute. But, she left behind all that and finally settled down into another wealthy life. Sure, Catwoman helped to get her the wealth she wanted, but it was worth it. Selina would give up everything. And anything to be with Bruce. He was different from the other men she had been with. The other men wanted dominance, and control. Bruce just wanted to love her, care for her. And she fell in love with him because of that. But she took advantage of that love. If she hadn't have done that she would be the one engaged to Bruce Wayne instead of Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn. The Joker's ex girlfriend.

How?

Why?

Why would God do this to her? She knows she made that mistake, that one mistake, but did he really have to do that. Put one of Selina's enemies together with the man she loves with an endless love? Selina closed her eyes and began to come up with an idea to how to get Bruce back. An idea quickly popped up in her head and she smirked. It would be a foolish idea, but Selina seemed to have no other way. She needed to get rid of that clown. That idiotic woman that stole away her lover. And she had a plan too, oh yes, she did. And it would be crafty and not fall apart like the previous woman 's plan. Her plan would indeed work out smoothly.

Harley fixed her long pearl necklace and rubbed out any wrinkles of her soft, black shirt. She wore a fushia-colored shirt with medium ruffles going down the middle. She was standing in front of her mirror and making any last minute changes.

Harley smirked and liked her ziftag figure in this outfit. Bruce opened her door and smiled at his fiancé. He chose to wear a plain black suit with a pink tie. Harley turned and snickered at Bruce's tie color.

"A pink tie?" she asked trying to contain her laughter.

Bruce chuckled. "Just for you." he said. "You look absolutely beautiful." he commented looking at Harley's choice of clothing.

Harley blushed and grinned. What? She couldn't help it. It must be a Wayne man thing.

"Thanks. So, are they here yet?" she asked.

Bruce shook his head. "No, we will meet them at a restaurant." he answered.

Harley cocked her eyebrow. "Which one?" she asked.

"Blue Lobster." Bruce answered again walking behind Harley. She nodded and finished brushing her black hair. She sighed deeply and stared at her reflection. She always played with her hair when she was nervous about something. Bruce gave Harley a smile and wrapped his arms around her frame. He rested his chin on her head and Harley smiled at how he showed how tall he was compared to her.

"You don't have anything to be nervous about." he said. Harley closed her eyes. "Yes, I do Bruce. I almost killed each one of them on different bases with the Joker." Harley complained.

"That was the past." Bruce argued. "It's over, let's all focus on the now and future."

Harley laughed and shook her head. "What are you a philosopher?" she teased.

Bruce laughed. "No, I'm just Bruce Wayne." he said giving her a wink.

"Why the hell is it called the Blue Lobster? Lobsters are red." Harley said as they were seated at a table for five.

Bruce laughed at Harley's question. "Well, I heard there's a crab that has blue blood." he commented.

Harley made a disgusted face. "Ew! Bruce, honey, we're about to eat." she laughed. They both laughed until the waiter came back and put a basket of hot, fresh, biscuits on the table. Harley quickly picked up a hot biscuit and broke it in half. She ate one half and tried to feed the other to Bruce. He laughed and shook his head.

"Don't you shake your head 'no', eat it!" Harley ordered shaking the piece.

Bruce laughed and opened his mouth accepting the piece of biscuit. Harley smiled in accomplishment and nodded. "It's good isn't it?" she asked. Bruce nodded.

"It does taste good, but save space for dinner." Bruce said swallowing the biscuit. Harley perked up and smirked.

"Dessert?" she asked in a singing voice.

Bruce leaned forward and rested his head against Harley's. "Anything for you." he said.

Harley giggled and looked across the room. "Is that them?" she asked sitting up straight again.

Bruce sat up and looked at where Harley looked. "Yes." he said.

The three walked over to the table and Harley swallowed a gulp that had been in her throat.

Bruce stood up and hugged the tallest man first.

"Dick." Bruce greeted. Dick patted Bruce's back.

"It's great to see you Bruce." Dick said happily. Bruce then hugged the shortest boy.

"Bruce! Long time no see!" he exclaimed hugging Bruce tightly. Bruce smiled. "Good to see you too Tim." he answered.

He then faced a red haired woman. "Hi Bruce, great to see you again!" she said hugging him.

Bruce hugged back and smiled. "Same here Barbara." he responded letting go. Bruce placed a hand in front of Harley.

"Guys, you all know Harleen Quinzel." he said. Harley smiled nervously and waved. The two males smiled, but the female red-head gave a little frown.

'This should be an interesting dinner.' Harley thought to herself.

It was all a bit weird and nervous at first, but at the later part of the dinner everyone had seemed to get along just fine. The two guys had seem to really like Harleen Quinzel instead of Harley Quinn.

"So, how is life like not being Harley Quinn?" Dick asked.

Harley smiled. "It's amazing. Truly amazing. I really didn't know what I was missing. With being manipulated by the Joker and all, I couldn't see what a world I was passing by. I actually thought he cared for me, but it was all a lie." Harley explained with a smile.

"Well now you're good, and a great crime-fighter at that I've heard." Tim stated.

Harley cocked her eyebrow. "Oh I am. How about one of these days we practice together, you and me?" Harley suggested.

Tim laughed. "You're on!" he said.

Dick laughed. "You're going to get your butt kicked badly Timmy." he said.

Tim turned to him. "Hey!"

The four laughed, except for Barbara, who seemed to be quietly eating her dinner.

"What about you Barb? Want to go one on one with Harley one of these days too?" Bruce asked taking a taste of his drink.

Barbara looked up. "Don't think I can. Busy, you know?" she said.

"But you're on spring break." Tim said. Barbara nudged him hardly in the side.

"I have to catch up with my work." she said.

"Or do you not want to?" Harley asked knowing the tension between Barbara and her already building up.

Barbara looked at Harley straight in the eyes, and Harley dared not to blink. "Okay, fine. You want the truth? Here it is." she said fixing her position and crossing her arms.

"I don't believe that you've changed. I can't believe it. All those times that you've tried to kill us and Bruce proved my theory. I still think you're loyal to the Joker and you're just trying to get closer and closer to Bruce to kill him." she said angrily.

Harley gave her a bored look. "Barbara, if I wanted to kill Bruce I would've already. I had many chances to kill him. And besides, the Joker was never focused on getting Bruce Wayne, if there's someone the Joker really wants, it's Batman. Or right now, most likely me." Harley explained smoothly.

The table got quiet as the three guys watched the two women debate back and forth.

"I still think you're loyal to the Joker." Barbara weakly fought back.

"I'm not loyal to a man who punched, kicked, and pushed me out a window. I actually thought he loved me, but it was all a lie. He just used me for his evil deeds. And as for Bruce, I fell in love with him overtime. I was his secretary looking for a new life, and he gave that to me. He showed me what a real man is. Someone who isn't a coward who punches and slaps around a woman because he wants to." Harley said boldly.

"Sure okay, but-,"

"Barbara." Bruce warned in an angry voice like Batman's that made her stop immediately. "That's enough." he said.

Dick looked away a bit uncomfortable.

"I think it's time to get the check." Tim said.

Harley got up and excused herself from the table. She then found herself in the women's bathroom washing her face. When she was done, she looked up and saw Barbara Gordon standing behind her with an angry look. Harley cocked her eyebrow unfazed by her presence. She turned around and sighed.

"Did Bruce teach you that? How to sneak up on people." she laughed a little.

"Listen, I don't believe that you've changed. I don't believe any of your bullshit. But listen closely, if you hurt Bruce or any of the others in any way, I will kill you myself. And that's a promise." Barbara said grimly.

Harley gave her a stoic look that she learned from Bruce.

"Alright, but if you try to turn Bruce against me or if I find out that you're telling lies about me-I'll kill you myself." Harley retorted.

Of course Harley was just fibbing about the killing part, she could never do that. But, if Barbara Gordon tried to ruin her relationship with Bruce, there will be hell to pay. Oh, she better believe it.

A/N: OOHH! BARBARA AND HARLEY NOT LIKING EACH OTHER! THIS PUTS A STRESS ON THE BATMAN FAMILY! WHAT WILL HAPPEN? TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER SOON! DID YOU GUYS LIKE THAT? BLUE LOBSTER? THAT FACT ABOUT THE CRAB WITH BLOOD IS TRUE, I LEARNED IT ON A 5TH GRADE CLASS TRIP. KIND OF GROSS, BUT HEY! THAT'S NATURE! :)
