Harley looked back at Bruce and coughed weakly. "Uh, if you could excuse me, I'm going to hide somewhere. You know, don't want him to find me." Harley said running inside to the main room.
She saw the joker and his goons messing with some of the people. She hid between the crowds and made her way to the large coatroom where she spotted her bag.
Harley shut the door and locked it making sure no one could get in there. She reached inside her bag and took out her costume and weapons.
"About time I faced you clown."
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's a pleasure to be here tonight! hahaha! I assure you that tonight, if you're all good and cooperate, you will all get a great show! But if you don't behave, well, let's just say the show will end very badly and there will be many frowns on your faces. Or probably some fireworks going off. Heheheehe." the joker said twirling the gun in his hand.
The goons all went around and took the people's money, jewelry, and anything they deemed was expensive and worth some value.
"You won't get away with this! Batman will come! And maybe even that new superhero too!" a scared man said trying his best to seem brave for everyone else.
Joker grinned madly like the madman he was. "Oh, we've got a brave soul here! Willing to stand up to the prince of crime!" the joker said walking towards the man.
The joker teased the poor man by pointing the gun at him and circling around him.
"Oh, I'm always up for a fight with old Batsy! Hehe! Why, there would be no fun without him! It's all a fun joke that's all!" He said laughing.
"Boss, we're ready!" a goon with clown make up on said.
The joker turned to the goon and shot at him. Everyone jumped thinking the madman killed the man, but the bullet missed the goon by an inch or two. The joker went over and grabbed the man by his shirt, shaking the frightened goon.
"I will tell YOU when I am ready! You got that!" he yelled.
The goon nodded stupidly.
"Yeah! S-s-sure thing boss! A-a-anything you say!" the joker released the goon and smiled towards the crowd of scared people.
"Well, it's been a pleasure people of Gotham, but I'm afraid I must depart from the party!" he announced.
"I don't think so." a voice said.
The joker turned around just in time to get kicked in the chest area with a pair of black heels. He crashed into a table that held many desserts on them. He growled wiping the chocolate mousse off his face and clothes. Batwoman pulled out her bataraang and threw it in the air.
"Stupid batgirl!" a goon said grabbing her by her arms from behind. The battering came back and hit the goon square in the face. Batwoman smirked and kicked the goon in the stomach making him crash into a wall.
"It's Batwoman." she corrected him.
Batwoman had no trouble knocking out and taking down the other goons, but she wondered something fiercely in her mind. 'Where the hell is Batman?'
"Oh Bat-Lady." the joker called. Batwoman turned around and that was a big mistake as the joker hit her in the face with a large metal plate. Batwoman stumbled back and fell on the ground, holding her forehead in excruciating pain. The joker laughed as though it was fun, but of course, this WAS the joker. He pulled her up in a headlock and put the gun to the side of her head. Some people in the crowd gasped and stared at the scene happening in front of them. Some wanted to help, but knew they couldn't.
The joker put his gun in his pocket and laughed again. He put his free hand to her eye mask, the one thing concealing her true identity. Batwoman tried to turn her face away, but the joker had her in a strong chokehold.
"HEHE! Now, let's see who our dear dark knight fancies so much shall we." he said.
'God, I came so far, and now this is it. I'm gonna die either way, great job Harls' Batwoman thought.
Just then, the grip that held her loosened and Batwoman could breathe again. She fell on her knees and began to breath slowly trying to regain her breath. She had a hand around her throat and the other on the floor trying to keep her balance. Batwoman looked to her left and saw a fight between the clown prince and the dark knight. And of course, her dark knight was winning. Bat woman couldn't get up, her head was killing her and it was difficult to breathe. She finally looked up to hear a crash and laughing. The window was shattered and batman just stood in front of the broken window with his fist clenched tightly. The Joker got away.
Applause and cheer interrupted the silence that overtook the place for quite a while. Batwoman looked down and was beginning to regain her breathing back properly.
"Are you alright?" a deep voice asked.
Batwoman looked up and saw batman in front of her with his gloved hand reached out to help her. Even though in pain, Batwoman smiled and took his hand. Batman lifted her up and looked down at her with concern, even though his face didn't show it.
"I was beginning to think I was a goner when you didn't show up." she said. "But I did." he said.
Batwoman put her hand back on her forehead and was overtaken with pain again. She was about to fall back and faint, but a pair of strong, protective hands grabbed her in time.
"Are you sure you're alright?" batman asked helping her stand up again. Batwoman's eyes widened at his touch and she quickly took out her grappling hook and smiled.
"Hehe, not on a first date my dear dark knight." she said and then took off into the night sky. Batman stood there watching as Batwoman flew through the night sky, and he smirked a little.
Harley hissed when the icepack touched her head.
"Ow,ow,ow Red! That hurts!" she said in pain. "Well i'm sorry, but i'm not the one who fought Bozo and got hit with a large plate." ivy said raising an eyebrow.
Harley glared at her friend. "No, but YOU DID give me my Boatwoman costume 'just in case!'" Harley said in a mocking tone. I
Ivy rolled her eyes and sat down next to Harley on the couch.
Harley sighed. "Didn't think being a superhero could be this painful." ivy chuckled. "But it was awesome seeing Batman take care of the joker. I mean, he went WHAM! And BAM! POW!" Harley said making hand movements.
Even though she was changing, she couldn't help but keep some of Harley Quinn inside herself.
"And he came over and helped me up and asked if I was okay and i-i-it felt good. It felt like he actually cared for me. And his touch was so comforting and soft." Harley said going into the memory.
Poison Ivy looked at her friend. "Harley." Ivy said snapping her fingers. Harley came out of the memory and turned back to her friend.
"Oh, sorry Ivy." Harley said blushing a bit.
Ivy smirked. "Are you sure you're not falling for the Batman?" ivy asked. Harley shook her head. "No, trust me red, I'm not falling in love with him. I'm just, helping him." Harley said. Ivy laughed. "mmmhmm'' she mumbled. Harley smiled widely.
"Let's have some fun tomorrow!" she said. Ivy was surprised at her friend's sudden mood change. "Do what?" ivy asked. "Have fun, you know go shopping, go to the spa. You do look kinda pale Red and you need to get out more." Harley said looking at her friend's skin. Ivy sighed.
"You're not going to stop begging until I say yes, right?" she asked with a hand under her chin. Harley nodded her head.
"It'll be fun! Just watch!" ivy sighed again and nodded. Harley laughed and accidentally fell off the couch due to all the excitement.
"Ow!' Harley moaned. Ivy just rolled her eyes at her friend's attitude.
