Disclaimer: Thank you all so much for loving and saving this story to your favorites. It still makes me happy to see. As usual, I own nothing related to DC, the Joker, Harley Quinn and all that fun stuff.

"J" Alaina breathed out, staring at him.

"She insulted us, Mista J! Let me kill her, please?" Harley insisted.

"Oh, trust me, Voodoo Doll, you don't need me for that one. You insult yourself everyday you walk out the door dressed like that." Alaina said. "And also, other than right now, I did no such thing."

Alaina turned and looked at J. "Only you and Frost know when I'm lying. I only entered a contest, using a song that fit the current situation between you and I." She said, looking J in the eye. "I did it to talk about how I really feel, since one of the two people I usually talk to left me in the dead of night."

J kept eye contact with her. "She's telling the truth, Harls."

Harley stomped her foot. "I don't believe her. What? Just because you fucked her, her word is automatically everything?!"

J growled at her in warning. "Shut up, slut."

She went and stood slightly behind him, grumbling about how he was blinded by a nice fuck.

"You got one more chance to shut your mouth." J was growling more.

"I'll just go." Alaina said, "I just came out for a night of fun...getting over...things...I'm just..."

"You're a coward!" Harley chimed in. "You can't even face him."

"J, shut your fuck toy's mouth before I do it for her." Alaina snapped suddenly. "I swear on everything I love that I will knock her damn teeth so far into her intestines that she'll be shitting them for the next few weeks."

Harley smirked at her. "Oh, look, someone grew a pair."

"Oh, I had them all along. I just carry them on my chest. I mean, not all of us can pull off the washboard look...but you...nah you look more like a toddler playing dressup." Alaina shrugged.

She was about to turn around and walk out when suddenly she was knocked to the ground, hearing a violent scream. Oh. The bitch wanted to fight. Fine. Her ribs weren't one hundred percent back to normal but they never would be. She rolled over as she fell, slamming her feet into Harley's hips, sending her flying.

Frost had moved J back, still in bodyguard mode, but not taking him away from the fray. Alaina popped back up and swiped J's cane from him with her foot, ready to defend herself...or just smack the shit out of Harley. She wasn't sure yet.

Harley was on her feet again, pulling out her baseball bat from one of J's other henchmen. He was knew, Alaina noted and didn't know who she was. She bit back a smirk as one of the older member's smacked him upside the head for giving over the bat so easily. She brought the cane up to block a down swing from it.

"What's the matter?" Alaina taunted. "J's men won't help you anymore? Guess they realized that you treated them like crap after being around the apartment with me there."

Harley froze for a second at that. She must have noticed it. She had to have. There was no way she couldn't.

"Come on, Harley, I hope you aren't that stupid. But maybe you are." Alaina said, shrugging. "I almost feel bad for fighting you; you might lose more brain cells and I don't think you can afford to lose anymore."

Harley snarled and flung herself at Alaina, swinging the bat. Alaina dodged it, swinging the cane. Unfortunately, she missed and J had grabbed it, yanking it out of her hands. She stumbled forward and was met with Harley's bat.

The wind was knocked out of her as she felt the pain blossom in her chest. She collapsed onto the ground, coughing.

"Dammit Harley!" Frost said, rushing to Alaina's side.

"I'm fine. Bitch just got a cheap shot in." Alaina rasped, still coughing, barely fazed by the blood in her hand.

"You're bleeding, Lain!" He scolded. "We shouldn't have taken you out yet. You're not a hundred percent better." He chanced a look at J, a hint of anger there.

"Get her out of here. I don't need her bleeding out in my club." J said, turning his back. I can't stand to watch her bleeding, knowing that I'm the cause.

Frost helped her up, practically carrying her out of the club. Bryant went to follow him before stopping. "You might have left our girl for that...thing...but no this...just because you are the Joker does not mean you are not on my shit list...and you KNOW how that goes."

J swallowed. He did know how it went. Most of the people that were on his shit list either didn't make it out with their egos intact or walked away crying. He might have been a small man but he was scary when he wanted to be. "Text me later so that we can come to an agreeable way to settle it." Let me know that she's okay.

"I will. Just know that my demands are gonna be very out there." Bryant said, before growling at Harley and walking out.

"Are you really gonna come to an agreement with him?" Harley asked.
"Trust me." J said, watching them leave. "He isn't one to mess with."

"Alaina, we gotta get you to a hospital." Frost said, helping her into a car.

"Honestly, I don't even care anymore." She huffed. "I just wanna go home."

"You might be bleeding worse than what we can see." He tried to reason.

"She's going. She gets no choice." Frost said, getting in the back seat.

"Hyung..." She whimpered.

"No! No buts! You're going!" He snapped.

She closed her mouth. "Fine. You win."

"I know."

They drove to the ER where they had known Johnny already and fast tracked her to where she would be seen sooner.
"Well, two of your ribs are rebroken." The doctor said, after checking her. "One slightly scraped your lungs. That's why you coughed up some blood."

Alaina sighed, wincing slightly. "Guess I'm here over night then."

"Unfortunately. But if you had just listened to me in the first place than you wouldn't be here." He said.

"It's not like I went out looking for someone to rebreak my ribs. My two friends took me out for a night to get over the fact that J left me for his ex. They both happened to be there." Alaina said, crossing her arms over her stomach. "Bitch hit me with a bat."

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna leave that out of my notes...mainly because he gets the bill." The doctor said. "I gave you a pain killer. It should knock you out soon."

"We'll be outside the entire night." Bryant said, stroking her hair.

"Can you open the window? It's hot in here." Alaina asked.

"Sure, sweetie." He said, pushing Johnny towards the window.

Johnny opened it and made sure to cover Alaina more. "Just because you're in a hospital doesn't mean you have to get sicker."

"Shhh." She said. "I'm sleepy."

"Goodnight." The said, both kissing her head.

She closed her eyes, settling in.

She slept peacefully through the night, not knowing that she got a nighttime window visitor.

J had crept in through the window, watching Alaina sleep. He had made sure to take care of everything when it came to her, except taking in the fact that she was as stubborn as an ass.

"I'm so sorry, sugar." He whispered, stroking her hair. "I should have done better. I should have left town when I left you."

He sat on the edge of her bed, glancing at her chart briefly. He winced as he read it, looking at her peaceful face.

"You deserve so much more than this." He whispered, taking her hand in his own.

When he had made the decision to leave, he thought that it would all be okay. That Frost would do more to keep them separate. That all of this would go away. That Harley would be content with having him back. That Alaina would forget him and move on.

He spent another hour just apologizing to her. He left with a kiss to her cheek before heading out the window again, sparing her one last glance. "You're always my number one. Even if I can't be near you."

Alaina opened her eyes a few minutes later, the feeling on his lips still on her cheek. She closed her eyes again, thinking that J or Bryant snuck in.
