Joker sat at the wooden desk in his office, underneath all the papers, blueprints weapons and random novelty items on the surface of the desk was covered in "Ha's" either carved or written out messily in large red letters. As if the room had been long abandoned the stained carpet of the floor was scattered with poker cards and bullet casings.
Even the wall held ineligible writing along with scrawled out child like drawings. Outside the room around the rest of the hideout was starting to become more lively as the other men began to move about and get ready for another days events.
With a groan he stood to his feet and began to pace, so many thoughts ran through his head, so many plans that needed to be perfected untill put into motion. He just couldn't have any less prepared for the batman, it wasn't something that was done in his book. Tonight everything had to go smoothly, no.. everything would go smoothly. His tongue traced along the inside of his cheek feeling the scarred tissue that was hidden from others. It seemed that he held a good hand of cards. He had the place quiet and even when he had woken up harley had done left for once being useful...but still unwise of her not to check first, what if he would have needed the van for getaway, what if he would have needed her help?! Yet she had been gone for over an hour. The more he thought of it the more it stared to itch at it, he didn't understand how selfish she could be at times.
After a few more minutes he adjusted his sleeves, slipped on his coat the headed out of the office. The smell of roasted coffee became more apparent as he stepped into the kitchen to see a few of his goons with mugs in their hands. "Uhh...you, you want a cup boss?"One finally spoke up as if he now regretted having any himself.
His brow arched beneath his makeup before batting his hand."What..no, I don't have much of..ah.. need for that stuff." He replied after a thought. The group looked at each other and
shrugged simply taking as another one of his odd habits.
Finally his eyes fell over to the blonde who's back was turned towards him sitting on the couch clearly drawn in by the cartoons that was on the television. Bud and Lou were nestled on each side of her as she sat cross-legged with a head rested on each leg. Her face was clean of any paint, the only colour on her the faded yellow around her eye and the bright shade of red of her lips, nor was she yet wearing her harlequin costume. Instead she was in a simple pair of simple pair of jeans and a sweater, even letting her hair stay free from her pigtails to hang over her shoulder.
Occasionally her smile would crack over the cat and mouses antics on the t.v.
"So, how was your little shopping trip, dear? I assume that you got everything that was needed." His voice rose over the sound of the tv as he approached the couch with his head tilted, staring down at her. "You did leave here quite early."
Harley looked up from the couch as she turned the t.v off. "Of course puddin', I knew we was low of supplies so I wanted ta get up early fer ya and get it all done. " She replied with a smile as she hopped up from the couch and went over to him to throw her arms around him in sudden embrace. "I even got some of yer favorite stuff!"
Joker let out a gruff and pried her off of him before shoving her a few feet away from him for good measure. "Well if you hadn't of ate so much of it then you wouldn't have had to waste gas, time and money to go get more,huh doll ?" He flashed his yellow toothed grin at her with a chuckle. "Oh and..." With a sudden movement he quickly back handed her across the face, leaving her to topple over the back arm of the couch. " Don't call me puddin'." He added with his voice now darker than his previous tone
