Chapter 10: An Offer Hard To Refuse

Jason POV

"You here to kill me Talia?" I asked, "Or here to fuck your boyfriend Bruce?" I asked.

"Sadly neither." Talia said, "My father has an offer for you." She said.

"What offer could the great Ra's Al Ghul have for a street punk like me?" I asked mocking Talia.

"An offer to better your skills in combat and to lead an army." She said, "All you have to do is come with me." She said offering her hand. I looked at it the offer is too good to refuse but…Harlz it would break her heart if I left her now when my plan has started. "Well?" Talia asked.

"I-I-I'm not sure I've started a plan I had formed while training with the League and even before to kill The Joker and I can't stop now and this might be a shock to you but for once my life isn't total shit." I said.

"He's right." Harley said entering through the window, "I thought I'd never escape Batdog." She said I chuckled.

"Good old Ace always up for a chase." I said.

"Jason who is this?" Talia asked.

"Harleen Quinzel, Jason's girlfriend." She said.

"Behind the clown makeup she is quite beautiful." I said burying my head in my hands, 'I guess you'd say she's my beloved." I mumbled.

"Ha! You in love? Don't joke Jason you said yourself you are incapable of love." Talia said Harley looked at me shocked.

"That was four years ago Talia! People change all it took for me was seeing one girl four years after she saved my life, and just look at her Ow!" I said as I pulled the last piece of glass out of my leg, "Harlz can you get the ones out of my back?" I asked.

"Just let me remove the makeup puddin'." Harley said and ran into the bathroom.

"Puddin'?" Talia said questionably, "You can't be serious Jason this is a onetime offer I need an answer now." She said as Harley walked in no makeup and in a bathrobe.

"Alright baby turn around" she said picking up the plyers, "just a warning this will hurt."

"Yeah I know get it fucking over with Harley." I said.

"Geeze someone is tired." Harley said then yanked the first one out.

"Agh!" I screamed in pain, "Harley its 6:20am why would I not be tired? Ow! Fucking hell!" I shouted. It took her half an hour but she got the pieces out, "Thank Jesus." I said as the stitching started.

"Mind if I ask how this happened?" Harley asked her big sky blue eyes looking at me.

"I put Dick through a skylight on top of the Sionis Steel Mill." I said starting to fall asleep, "And the glass got stuck in us."

"Yes very interesting." Talia said, "But I need an answer."

"He can't." Harley said sounding urgent shocking Talia and Jason.

"And why not Miss Quinzel?" Talia asked.

"Yeah why not?" I asked confused.

"For all we know I could be pregnant!" Harley screamed, "Jason and I did fuck unprotected."

"How would you know that Harlz?" I asked, "You passed out." I said.

"We'll know soon won't we?" Harley said a cute smile crossed her face annoying Talia.

"Talia" I sighed, "I have my own priorities and no matter how hard this is to say I must refuse your offer the time for my revenge is now." I said, "What we had in the past is gone, you lied to me saying your father is dead and Bruce is responsible. You tried to use my anger for your own personal gain, with Bruce out of the way Gotham would be yours for the taking." I said standing up even when she's in high heel boots I'm taller than her, "Get out Talia. NOW!" I shouted Talia's face changed from disappointed to pure anger.

"My father was dead it's called a Lazarus pit dumbass-" She started Harley cut her off.

"Get the fuck out asshat!" Harley screamed making me laugh Talia glared a Harley and left. Harley sat on the sofa, "You and her had something?" Harley asked me shocked, "Jason? Jason?" she looked and saw I was asleep in my chair

Harley's POV

"Maybe he has the right idea." I said to myself as I put a blanket on Jason I walked to the master bedroom the door was still down from earlier I looked at my phone I had a snapchat from Chis she sent me a picture of B-Man and Robtwin and wrote "look who saved me tonight don't show Jason. And how's the plan going?"

I took a picture of the jester outfit and wrote, "How do you think? I'm a fucking jester. And I'm pretty sure Joker likes me gross." With a barfing emoji. Then I got a call from her I answered, "Hello Chris." I said.

"You think the Joker likes you? Are you positive?" she said.

Flashback-Harley's POV

"Ahhhh bad bat- dog! Shew! Scram! Get lost! Sit! Stay! Go Away!" I shouted as I ran through the streets of Amusement Mile the dog is fast and right on my ass I eventually got in a rollercoaster which a goon started and right before it took off Brat-hound was in the back seat and started moving to the front once the coaster stopped I stumbled out dizzy and started running the dog did the same, "Oh come on! Worst. First day. EVER!" I shouted and finally climbed up a tree the dog did what every dog did when a cat ran up into a tree then the Joker showed up with my mallet and hit the dog on the head knocking him out, "Thanks Mister Joker." I said climbing down.

"Since you're new I'll give you a break. But rule one of being a goon, never leave you're weapon behind." He said handing me my mallet, "Got it Harley?" he asked.

"Yes sir." I said grabbing my mallet.

"Oh Harley! Call me Mister J." He said smiling his eyes were focused on my breast.

"Okay." I said creeped out, "Mister J my eyes are up here." I said then he got tackled by Batman, "Ah!" I screamed and ran away as Joker was getting Batcuffed after a few minutes I heard a dog barking, "You have got. To be. Fucking kidding. Me!" I looked over the shoulder and the god damn bat-hound was after me again, "SHIT!" I shouted and jumped onto a fire escape right before the dog bit my boot. I ran on the roof top until the dog gave up at the end of my shift so I headed home when I got there I heard Jason talking with someone.

End of Flashback

"So did Joker get arrested?" Chris asked.

"I don't know. I said, "But he's treating me differently." I said lying on my bed, "it's gross".

"Agreed. Alright I'll let you catch some z's HQ… oh and by the way I told Pammy you aren't dead sorry but I had to tell someone." Chris said, "She's going to visit you tomo…later today. Okay?" she asked.

"Okay later Chris." I said.

'Later Harlequin." She said and we hung up my head hit the pillow after I put my phone on my bedside table and I was out. I woke up to Jason shaking my leg.

"Harlz someone is at the door for you he said his name is Tiny." Jason said I groaned and got out of bed I walked to the door and opened it my Guard duty partner was standing there.

I yawned and said, "Hey Tiny what's up?" I asked.

"Look the boss was taken to Arkham the guys with experience in Arkham are going to try to break him out but the new guys like you and me we need to be glued to the TV to know when we go back to work."

"Okay cool." I said then shut the door I turned to Jason, "Can I go back to bed now?" I asked

"It's two in the afternoon your friend Pamela will be here in like thirty minutes." Jason said.

"Oh my God I forgot Pam is coming over!" I shouted and ran into the shower.
