Madness and Love – Chapter 10
H.A.R.L.E.Y.
I knew it was her even if she didn't say anything I stared at my best friend in absolute shock, no amount of training could have prepared me for this.
"Barb" I breathed.
"Shh call me Batgirl" she hissed, she actually hissed at me, I guess I couldn't be surprised she was trying to keep her identity a secret especially since we were talking over her unconscious father.
"Okay 'Batgirl', now isn't the time but when this madness if over we are so having a talk" she only nods, together we get Gordon into the patrol car, and using my cuffs, lock the Ventriloquist to the railing of the bridge.
"We need to get away from here it isn't safe, the police lines have been breached and Batman, Nightwing and Robin can't contain all of the ones who slip past"
"My car's back there" I say we start jogging not the easiest thing to do in my slip on shoes, we stop when we hear something behind us, I dodge out of pure instinct and years of gymnastics, Barb isn't as fast and is hit, knocked out immediately.
Thank the gods it's just a can of something, I gently touch her, she's bleeding, I had to get her out of here, I put my arms around her chest and start dragging her towards my car, trying not to focus on the people running towards me, I manage to open the back seat of my car and shove her in, I throw a blanket over her and close the door picking up a metal pole from the ground and hold it up, I hadn't played baseball since I was ten but how hard could it be? The first guy I slammed with the pipe, he wasn't expecting such force and cowered away before collapsing another guy had a shiv which I kicked out of his hand before round house kicking him and finally slamming my pole down on his head. I step further away from my car hoping it gave me more space at least a dozen where almost on me, I yelled out.
"Stop!" as loud as I could, to my surprise they listened and paid attention to who I was, I wasn't anywhere close to my professional clothes, I wasn't in heels my glasses where at home and I had no makeup to speak of but they saw me a knew who I was, they looked between themselves and I hoped it meant they were rethinking an attack on me.
"Harleen don't breathe!" I heard, I pulled my shirt to cover my mouth as a toxic gas can exploded over the group, nothing happened for a few seconds until they all started screaming running away or attacking each other in nothing other than pure panic…fear.
Through the crowd a man walked wearing a horrifying mask, a scarecrow even I shivered seeing it.
"Harleen" it said, he pulled off the mask and I let down my shirt trusting it must be safe now.
Jonathan looked at me daringly as if he were a starving man.
"Jonathon" I said cautiously.
"Are you alright?" I nod.
"Yeah I'm fine"
"You shouldn't be here" he said taking my arm, don't cringe, don't cringe I told myself.
"I was worried" I found myself saying, his gaze softened.
"I'm fine, but you need to leave" even though I didn't exactly mean him I wasn't going to say so, he pulled me away before we heard the click of a gun, we both turned to a man who had come out of nowhere.
"Sorry but she's not go'in nowhere" the man said with a Brooklyn accent, Harley resonated with it, being from Brooklyn herself, she usually kept her accent to herself, performing with the voice she used professionally.
"And how do you suppose you are going to stop me?" Jonathan said his voice dangerous the man wasn't fazed in fact he chuckled.
"Work on yeh threats, Jokers much more terrifying then you" he says the machine gun still pointed at us, I knew Jonathan would throw more of his fear serum at the man, how he had any at all I didn't know, at the same time I didn't want to get shot.
"Why wouldn't I be going anywhere?" I ask the man.
"Cause Joker passed word no one touches you, now it may be dark an all but he looks like he's touching you" I looked down to the tight grip Jonathan had on my arm he had no intention of letting go, the man with the gun wasn't afraid of anything Jonathan might do, whether he knew who he was or not.
In the back of my mind I remembered Barbra was still in the back seat of my car, I either needed to get closer to Arkham and hope Batman found me…get away from the man with Jonathan or make Jonathan let go of me and find Mr. J I couldn't believe I still wanted to see him after he used me, but then again maybe I knew he was using me, everyone warned me I didn't listen…I didn't care.
I really was stuck.
"How about both of you leave her alone?" a familiar voice says angrily I look up at the giant plant descending toward us, Pam elegantly lands standing between the man and Jonathan with me.
"Pam" I found myself saying, the one person I knew for a fact wouldn't hurt me.
"You boys have exactly three seconds to drop your weapons no second chances" Jonathan was more apprehensive of Ivy, the man still loyally kept his weapon trained on Jonathan.
"One"
"Let go" I hiss to Jonathan who does not listen.
"Two" the man looks between all of us wondering what he should fear more, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy or his Boss, The Joker.
"Three" Jonathan lets go of me and holds up his hands, the man isn't as smart and is smashed by a vine into the car that was parked next to mine, he must have come from there.
"Get lost Crane" Ivy warns.
"She's leaving with me"
"Don't fight please" I beg them, as the stare off.
"I'm not leaving with either of you" I reiterate; they both look at me like I'm crazy.
"I have a friend I have to look after, I'm not leaving"
"If Joker finds you-"
"I don't care; let him he deserves a punch to his face for stealing my assess card"
"So that's how he broke everyone out" Jonathan says nodding if it made sense.
"Harleen, you can't think straight with him" Pam says softly to me so Jonathan can't hear, I look at her in surprise, did she know how I'd become to feel for him? Her eyes said yes.
"How did you?" she smiles lightly. Her skin and eyes glowing brighter than I'd ever seen them as she was now back surrounded by her element.
"I just do" she says turning her head away, I swallow I couldn't let them stick around here.
"You both need to go, you don't belong here" I say, I was so fired but it didn't matter.
"Go I'll see you some other time"
"Count on it" Jonathan promises me kissing my hand before turning around and walking off, Pam hugs me I was surprised but she was careful not to touch my skin she let me go and I watched her be swallowed by her plant and disappear underground.
I was never getting that sight out of my head as I went back to my car to check on Barb, the man from before jumped up pushing me into my car I didn't expect it so I couldn't defend myself I tried to kick him but it didn't do much, I managed to dig my thumb into his ribs and use the gun he was still holding to hit him in the face, I threw the gun away kneed the guy in the balls and ran for Arkham as he painfully stumbled after me. I didn't know exactly who I was trying to find but I still ran into the Battleground of Arkham.
Who will she find?
