The next morning, there was a knock on Selina's door. Ivy walked to the door and opened it. She was surprised to find Batman waiting.
He pushed Ivy aside as he walked in and asked "where's Barbra?"
"Good morning to you too" Ivy said as she closed the door.
The door suddenly stopped closing and she heard a familiar voice say "well, that wasn't nice, Red."
"Oh, sorry Harl" Ivy said.
Harley walked in wearing a red collared short sleeve shirt, a black mini skirt, black fishnets and a one black knee high boot and one red one.
"That's different" Ivy said.
"Eh, felt like mixing it up" Harley said "where's Babs?"
"In the guest room" Ivy said.
Harley started walking towards the room with Ivy. Batman sighed and followed.
Harley swung the door open and said "hiya Gimpy!"
Barbra looked up from a laptop and smiled "Hey Bat-Harley" she said "nice outfit."
"Thanks" Harley said.
"Barbra" Batman said as he pushed past Harley and Ivy "I have something for you."
He placed a computerized metal tube on the bed.
"Thanks?" Barbra said "what is it?"
"It's a cast for your thigh" Batman said "it will allow you to walk and preform psychical therapy movements while your bone heals."
"Oh" Barbra said "thanks Boss."
"I hope you heal up quick" Batman said "while Harley is doing well as your stand in, she's still dangerous and a wild card."
"Thanks Batsey" Harley said.
"That wasn't exactly a compliment" Batman said. He handed Ivy the cylinder and said "I'm sure you can work with this and get it working."
"I'll do it" Ivy said.
Batman turned to Harley and said "I want you suited up and at the police station at five tonight. We're going after a dangerous group tonight."
"Yeah, ok" Harley said. Batman turned and walked out.
Harley rolled her eyes and sat on the edge of the bed as Selina walked in. Later that evening, Harley was waiting by the police station in her costume, when Batman drove up in the Batmobile. The cockpit opened, Harley walked over and climbed in. The Batmobile began speeding down the streets.
"What's the hurry?" Harley asked.
"We finally located a rouge SWAT team" Batman said.
"Dirty cops?" Harley asked "all this over dirty cops? I don't know how to tell ya this Batsey, but Gotham's full a' dirty cops."
Batman sighed and said "I'm not talking about taking bribes or looking the other way during a robbery. I'm talking about a fully equipped SWAT team acting as hitmen."
"Fully equipped?" Harley asked.
"Yes" Batman said.
"So shotguns, smg's, pistols with concussion grenades and flashbangs?" Harley asked.
"Yes" Batman said.
"So why is my .357 at home?" Harley asked.
"Because we let the courts decide what happens to them" Batman said.
Harley sighed and said "if I get killed in there, I'm comin' back to haunt ya."
The Batmobile screeched to a halt outside a small cafe.
"We're here" Batman said.
"Great" Harley said as she climbed out and grabbed her bat "let's go bust some skulls."
"Non-lethal injuries only" Batman said.
"Fine" Harley said.
Batman began sneaking towards a side entrance with Harley following.
He put his hand on the handle and whispered "quietly."
He pushed the door open slowly and slipped inside. One of the SWAT team members walked towards the door with a pistol in his hand.
"See anything?" A voice called.
"Nothing" he said "wind blew the door open."
He turned around to walk back into the café. Batman took out a bat-o-rang and got ready. Suddenly, he saw Harley step inside. She wrapped an arm around the man's neck and clamped her other hand over his mouth and dragged him back outside. There was a loud thump and the sound of a body falling, then Harley walked back inside with her bat and crouched next to him. Batman rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the others. There were four men sitting around a table, two more were standing by the counter.
"Ok" Batman whispered "I'll take the four at the table, the two by the counter are yours."
Harley nodded.
They started to move, but stopped when one of the men at the table stood up and said "where's Stan? He just went to check the door."
He started walking towards them.
"What now?" Harley whispered.
"I'll take care of it" Batman whispered.
When the man was close enough, Batman stood up, grabbed him and pulled him back into the shadows. He quickly knocked the man out.
"Did you see that?" One of the men by the counter asked "something just grabbed Jerry."
One of the men at the table pulled out a flashlight and quickly shined it towards Batman and Harley. The man sitting next to him had three concussion grenades on his vest. He took one off, pulled the pin and threw it at them.
"Grenade!" Harley yelled as she flipped a table on its side and ducked behind it.
Batman did the same. The grenade went off, the tables absorbed most of the shockwave, but they were still affected.
"Quinn?" Batman said "are you alright."
Harley heard him through the ringing in her ears and said "I'm fine, but now I am ANGRY!"
Batman saw her hands tighten around the bat and saw rage in her eyes. Harley stood up and began running towards the man with the grenades. One of the other men ran towards her with a nightstick. Harley punched him in the stomach, grabbed his badge and ripped it off of his shirt. She shoved the badge into his mouth, between his teeth. Then she drew back and punched the badge into his mouth, shoving it into his throat and knocking several teeth out. He began choking and trying to pull the badge out to breathe. Harley shoved him down and ran to the man with the grenades. He reached for another as Harley hit his arm with the bat, breaking it. She punched him in the face, then hit him in the stomach with the bat. She grabbed his shoulder with her empty hand and head butted him in the face. She pulled the pins on both of the remaining grenades and threw him down on his face and dove to the side. The grenades went off, lifting him up slightly. He fell and laid still. Two bat-o-rangs whizzed past Harley, knocking two of the remaining men out.
Harley ran to the last man as she said "your turn!"
He tried to grab a shotgun off of the counter. Harley hit his arm with the bat, breaking both bones in his forearm. She punched him in the face. She put the bat over his head and pulled it against the back of his neck, then head butted him in the forehead. There was a cracking sound as his neck bent backwards over the bat. Harley pulled the bat away and punched him in the throat. He fell and began coughing and gasping. Batman ran to the man with the badge in his mouth. He grabbed the badge and yanked it out. The man gasped and began breathing heavily. He checked the pulse of the man with the grenades. It was very weak, but there. He looked at Harley. She had her eyes closed and was breathing deeply. He knew she was trying to calm herself down. She finally opened her eyes and let out a deep sigh. She turned and saw Batman glaring at her.
"They're all breathin'" Harley said "get off my back."
"Barely" Batman said "and now they probably won't give us any information on who they actually all work for or any clients who have hired them. Had we simply taken them in instead of trying to murder them, they might have cooperated."
"Ya want info?" Harley asked.
"Yes" Batman said.
Harley walked over to the man she had almost suffocated with his badge. She shoved Batman back, then grabbed the man's right arm and yanked it out of socket. She stomped on his left shoulder, breaking it.
"QUINN!" Batman yelled
"Shut it, Bats!" Harley said.
She grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to a wall. She picked him up and slammed him against it. She held him against the wall by the throat. His eyes widened and watered as Harley put the badge between his teeth and forced his mouth shut.
She moved the hand on his throat up, holding his mouth shut and drew her other fist back and said "Batsey here is gonna ask ya a few questions. One wrong answah or refusal to answah and I knock th' badge down ya throat. Clear?"
He just looked at her.
"CLEAR?!" Harley yelled.
The man quickly nodded.
"Good" she said.
Batman walked over and said "I want to know who actually organizes and manages you and the names of everyone who has hired you."
Harley yanked the badge out of his mouth and said "talk."
"I can't remember all the clients" he said "but we have a list of who hired us and how much they paid back at HQ and the boss should be there! I'll take you there! I swear! Just please, please get Quinn away from me! Please!"
"Y'know who I am?" Harley asked.
"Of course I do" he said "every criminal and aspiring criminal in Gotham knows about you."
"Well" Harley said "be a good boy an' make good on ya promises and I'll letcha live and give ya an autograph."
Batman took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the man's hands behind his back.
"Take him to the Batmobile, Harley" he said.
Harley dragged the man outside.
Once they were out of the building, Batman pushed a button on a communicator and said "Alfred, get police and EMTs to the café downtown, across from the mall."
"Yes, Master Bruce" Alfred said.
Batman turned and walked outside to the Batmobile.
