Two days later Harley was packing some things into her bag to go over to Jacks dorm. Selina and Ivy walked into the room "Harley the principal said you need to stay here, you're pretty shaken up" said Ivy.

"I'm fine"

"Where are you going?"

"Jack's place"

"Are you insane?!" asked Selina

"I don't think so"

"But he's a psychopath! He admitted it himself!"

"Look guys, I can take care of myself ok?"

"This is a suicide mission Harley"

"I'm not asking you to come with me"

They both reluctantly let Harley leave, they both knew that this would not end well.

Harley knocked on the door to Jacks dorm, she knew it was a long shot but she needed his help. The truth was she did want to analyse him but as his recent behaviour has shown he strongly object to that so she'll have to be discreet about it. Bruce Wayne answered the door.

"Oh…Harley…I didn't think I'd be seeing you around here anytime soon…if ever again" he said

"Yeah I know it's just I really need Jacks help on this project"

"So much you're willing to risk your sanity for it?"

"These are my grades Bruce, I need to do everything I can to pass"

"And that involves becoming friends with a psychopathic homicidal malevolent maniac?"

"It would seem that way, yes"

Bruce sighed and let her in "He's in his room"

Harley walked to the room that said Jack Napier on the front, she opened the door quietly and saw Jack sitting on his window sill staring out the window at the falling snow. He had a pleasant smile on his face that made Harley feel somewhat comfortable around him but that was quickly over powered by the sight of tattoos down his arms that were now exposed due to him wear a short sleeved shirt, as scary as it was Harley could help but think that it look kind of sexy. She was about to announce herself when Jack interrupted "I thought I scared you off" he then turned to look at her.

"You didn't"

"I can see that, I have eyes you know"

"Don't give me any sarcastic bull shit, I'm here to learn from you. You should be flattered"

He snorted "Flattered? Why would I be flattered by a little kid trying to place me under a label?"

"I'm not trying to place you"

He remained silent staring at her for a moment "Fine, sit down" he demanded gesturing to his bed and she obeyed "Harley, your mind is far too weak for the profession you are seeking"

"Then what do you suggest I do?" she asked slightly irritated in his lack of faith in her.

"Try working at Mc Donald's"

Harley scoffed "You expect me to work at a fast food restaurant for the rest of my life?"

"Better than nothing"

"Are you going to teach me or not?"

He sighed "Do you know anything about the criminal mind other than the shit that comes out of your teacher's mouth?"

"That's why I'm here isn't it"

"You know how a killer works?"

"More or less"

"You had any experiences in that field?"

"No I haven't had the opportunity to help the hunt for a killer"

"No I mean the other way around toots"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever killed somebody?"

"OF COURSE I HAVENT! AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR YOURSELF!"

"Well then you don't know what it feels like, you see some people kill because they like playing the role of god, watching their life slip away, I did it for the fun…kinda like a game, you know?"

"Did you enjoy killing people?"

"Did? I do"

"If you still kill, why haven't you been caught?"

"If you catch a fish and it gets away it's a lot harder to catch a second time"

"What did you mean when you said that you are not crazy but you are a psychopath?"

"Such an amateur question Harley, for shame" he chuckled "But of course I can't blame you after all you are a newbie. You see a crazy person is oblivious to what they are doing and cannot give clear explanations for their actions, they're the people you see screaming, running around naked and biting off their own limbs. That is crazy. A psychopath is someone who knows very well what they do and the consequences that could unfold but they cannot control their emotions and supress the need to do something completely insane. But because our crappy diagnosis tactics they all get grouped together, they label people"

"Is that such a bad thing?"

"Harley, you can't just go around slapping labels on everything and expect to be happy. People label things because they are in fear, in fear of the unknown. It's called 'Xenophobia'. Some people are a little afraid of it but others are completely petrified of it"

"What are you afraid of Jack?"

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself" Harley nodded writing down notes on a pad but pulled away as Jack tried to see what she was writing "What are you writing Blondie?"

"Don't you trust me?"

"I only trust the people who give me reasons to trust them and so far you haven't given me any"

"Come on Jack you know me well, I think you proved that two days ago"

He turned away furiously and muttered to himself "Stupid girl"

"Stupid?!" she yelled offended.

"Yes stupid! The other day all I did was state the obvious!"

"Well you know the saying that something hard to see for some people can be blindingly obvious to others!"

"Everything about you is blindingly obvious you'd have to be blind not to see it!"

"You're quite a neurotic bastard you know that?!"

"Neurotic?! You're just a stupid blond who wants to be smart!"

"Oh while you're busy partying and getting shit faced?!"

"At least I have a social life!"

"Yeah, being a bastard!"

"Well your mother's a whore!"

"Your fathers a rapist and your mothers dead!"

"So's yours!"

"You're fucking crazy!"

"You're a suicidal bitch talking to me that way!"

They suddenly grabbed each other and shoved their mouths together kissing furiously. Harley wrapped her arms around his neck running her hands through his green hair, that beautiful green hair she thought. She felt his arms snake around her waist pulling her closer, his tongue invading her mouth "Jack…mm…this is…mm…so wrong on…mm…so many levels" Harley said between kisses.

"Since when have that stopped you?" Jack replied pushing Harley down on the bed continuing to kisses her down her neck causing her to moan silently. His hand began to travel up her shirt but Harley grabbed his hand stopping him "What?" Jack asked pulling away.

Harley wrapped her arms around herself "I've never…never…done...that before" she said extremely embraced.

"Harley…are you a…virgin?"

She nodded still holding onto herself "You?"

"Far from it"

"Oh" she said slightly disappointed.

"You said it yourself, I'm too busy partying and getting shit face" he chuckled lying next to her and she laughed with him. Jack took her in his embrace from behind nuzzling against her neck.

She sighed "I'm going to miss you on the Christmas holidays"

"Why? It's not like I'm going anywhere"

"But that's what the break is for, so you can go back home for a while" she said confused

"Do my folks sound like hospitable people?"

"Oh…yeah…sorry" she thought for a moment "You know you could always come stay at my house and…you know…meet my family, I'm sure they'd love you"

"Yeah?"

"Of course"

"I guess it'd be a nice change from be called a mistake every fucking day" he said adjusting his position "Tell me about them" he said in a soothing tone.

"Well I have three siblings, like you said. I have an older brother Robert who is married with a son, another brother named Oliver who is still in high school and a little sister named Chloe but she's still in kindergarten. Oliver's always been so depressed though"

"How so?"

"Ever since mum died he just wasn't the same but my dad Dave is always there to hold down the fort and make sure they don't burn down the house" They both laughed "So…would you like to come with me?"

"I'd love to" he smiled deviously "Oh…you mean visit your family oh I get it now" he chuckled

She shoved him playfully "Get your mind out of the gutter!" she giggled

"I've never been to Brooklyn before should be fun, especial because I get to go with my girlfriend" he said kissing her nose.

"How did you know I came from Brooklyn?"

"You're accent screams it toots" he said as he stroke a lose bit of hair away from her face.

"Where are you from then?"

"Gotham, born and badly raised" he said smiling.

They both laid in the same position for a long time and Harley felt for once in her life she didn't have a care in the world.
