Chapter 6:

Jason tackled Harley to the floor with his hands around her throat. He squeezed as hard as he could.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!? WHY ARE BACK IN MY LIFE?! YOU'VE ALREADY MESSED WITH IT ENOUGH!" He screamed at her. As Harley tried her best to get him off, she looked into Jason's eyes and slowly started to realize who he was.

"You're….you're…."

"YOU'rE DAMN RIGHT I AM!" He squeezed down harder. Deadshot, Rick Flag and Deathstroke all aimed their guns at him.

"Let her go Jason." Rick ordered. Jason looked at them and shook his head,

"You have no idea what she's done to me. She's dying right here, right now!" He screamed. Deadshot pointed his rifle at Jason's head. "Look, I don't care right now. She's part of the team and so are you. You can kill her right now and we all shoot your ass, or you save your energy to beat the jokes out of the Joker?" He asked. Jason thought for a moment. He let go of Harley and stood up. He grabbed his mask and grabbed Sionis by the collar. He dragged him to elevator and went to the first floor. Harley coughed, trying to catch her breath. Floyd offered his hand. She took it and stood up.

"Now, are you gonna explain what the hell that was?" Floyd asked. Harley shook her head and backed up the wall. She stood their looking in complete shock.

"Whoa, hey Harley?" Floyd waved his hand in front her face. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

She nodded. "I just did." She started breathing in and out. "I need a moment."

Floyd nodded and walked towards the elevator. "I'm gonna go make sure Red Hood didn't kill Black Mask."

Outside the Steel Mill

Captain Boomerang and Killer Frost were standing by the door.

"What is taking them so long? Seriously, how long does it take to kill a few guys and beat up another? I would've went in there, took care of the guys, found the boss man, and would've beaten him to hell. All in a-" He stopped himself. Frost raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

He shook his head. "Nothing, I just almost…..forget about it."

The doors bursted open as Black Mask's body went flying through them. He landed on the floor and started crawling away.

"Hood, seriously let's talk about this!"

Red Hood walked through the doors with his pistols drawn. "Don't think so Sionis. Between a cell and a hole in the ground, I choose the hole." He slowly advanced towards Black Mask. Boomerang looked at him with a puzzling look.

"Who the hell is that now?" He asked. Frost shrugged.

"He looks familiar. I've seen him on the news here and there I think." She said. Red Hood stepped on Sionis' already broken leg. He kicked the mask off of his face.

"I guess that's why you keep your mask on. You look like a fruit without it." He aimed his gun at his face.

"Red Hood!" Floyd walked through the doors. "Don't kill him."

Hood looked at him, annoyed. "Come on! I need something today." He kicked Sionis in the face, knocking him out.

"Look, you'll get to use some of that anger when we get to Joker's. That's where we're headed next." Floyd said. Flag, Deathstroke, Quinn and Croc walked through the doors.

"Change of plans." Flag said. "Joker's place is not our next stop. Our next stop is a hotel."

"A hotel?" Hood asked. "Why?"

"It's a smart tactic to rest before a big encounter. A war. Trust me, when we step foot on Joker land, there will be a war." Deathstroke said. Harley looked at Jason and then quickly looked away. Jason sighed. "I know one a few blocks down. I've saved them multiple times. They owe me a favor." He called his motorcycle to him and got on it. He sped off down the street.

Floyd looked at Harley. "So, when are you gonna tell us about the history between you two?"

She shook her head. "Later." She walked to the truck.

Gotham City Royal Hotel

Jason walked to the front desk and put down a note.

You guys owe me a favor. 7 rooms. Don't scream when you see my…"friends." -RH

He waited as he was given the keys. He looked to the entrance as the rest of the Taskforce entered.

"This is place is real classy." Harley said as she looked around. Many of the people in the hotel gasped as they saw them. Croc looked at them and growled.

"Oh shut up Croc. Did you just not expect people to be scared of you?" Jason asked. He was given the keys to the rooms and threw the other 6 keys to the others. He walked towards the elevators.

"Anyone that comes to my room, instantly gets two between the eyes." He entered an elevator and went up. Harley looked at he went up in the elevator.

"I need a drink." She walked towards the bar. The others joined her at the bar.

"I'm going to get some sleep while I can. You have fun without me." Flag said. He walked towards the elevator.

"Gonna go talk to Moone?" Floyd asked after him. He smirked and ordered a drink. "Harley are you gonna te-"

"Shut up!" Harley cut him off. She breathed in and breathed out. "You wanna know what's between us?" She asked.

Boomerang shrugged. "Well I didn't know who he was until eye patch explained it to me."

Frost elbowed him in the stomach. Harley looked at all of them. "Fine. Jason Todd. The Red Hood. He was Robin." She said, Floyd did a double take.

"Robin? Like the Robin. Batman's little sidekick Robin?" He asked. Harley nodded.

"He was the second one." She said. "Me and Joker…..kidnapped him."

5 years ago

Joker pulled the bag from over Jason's head.

"Wakey Wakey little birdy!" He said smiling.

Jason looked around. "Where am I? Where's Batman?" He asked. He tried to move but noticed that his arms and legs were bounded.

"Where's Batman?" Joker mocked. "Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about our future Jason." He said.

"What future?" Jason asked. Harley walked up behind Joker and put her elbow on his shoulder.

"Our future little J! Oh pudding can we call him little J?" She asked.

"Of course! It's a cute little nickname. You see Jason, we took you from that mean old nasty Bat, not to get at him. No, no, no. We took you, because we want a son. We really want a son."

Jason looked at him. "It's called sex you idiot."

Joker reached forward to hit him, but stopped. "I know, but where's the fun in that?"

"Everywhere! Have you even had sex before?" Jason asked.

"None of your business. That is grown up talk." Joker said. "Look. you could be our perfect son. You have the attitude, the sense of humor. All you need is a little whiter skin here, some green hair there. PERFECT! You'd be perfect."

"I can see it now puddin." Harley giggled. Jason looked at her.

"Hey aren't you like 20?" He asked.

"I don't see how that's any of your business." She said.

"You do realize that I'm 16, It wouldn't make any sense for us to be mother and son. That's just really stu-" Joker slapped him.

"You have a big mouth on you boy." Joker said.

"Hey aren't you like 33 or some-" Harley hit him with her bat.

"That's enough out of you!" She yelled.

Present Day

"It went from bad to worse real quick."

3 Years Ago

Joker hit Jason with his crowbar.

"SAY YES!" He screamed at Jason. Jason spit out some blood and looked up at Joker.

"I'd never be your son you creepy, ugly douchebag!"

Joker hit him again. "Why are kids these days so difficult?" He hit Jason a couple more times.

"How about now?" Joker asked. Jason spit some blood in Joker's face. Joker slowly wiped it off. Jason laughed. "If I had AIDS you'd be screwed." He started laughing. Joker grabbed him by the hair and started hitting him repeatedly with his crowbar. Harley opened the door to the warehouse slowly. She looked at what was happening and held her breath. Joker kicked Jason onto his back and started hitting him in the side with the crowbar. Jason cried out in pain.

"Batman's…...gonna...get you…..he's going...to finally kill you…."

Joker hit him again. "BATMAN'S NOT COMING! HE'S NOT COMING TO SAVE YOU AND HE'S NOT COMING TO KILL ME!" He hit him a few more times. He stopped and exhaled.

"You know what? Fine, be that way. I don't care." Joker walked towards the door. Harley quickly shut it and ran back to the car.

"TO HELL WITH YOU JASON!" He pulled out a remote and pressed the button. In the warehouse, several beeps were heard. Joker cut on the lights to reveal about 10 bombs inside of the warehouse.

"Literally, to hell with you." Joker exited the warehouse and jumped into the car. He laughed and sped off. He looked in the rearview mirror to see the warehouse exploding. He laughed as he increased the speed of the car. Harley visibly looked sick as she watched the fire spread.

Present Day

Harley looked at the other Taskforce members. Floyd looked speechless. Deathstroke simply drink his beer. Boomerang looked at Harley and shook his head.

"Damn." Floyd said. "No wonder I didn't see his little scrawny ass for a while."
