Supergirl POV

I drop down so quickly into Crime Alley that Damian almost falls out of my arms. He rasps a bit as I set him down, sprinting to a nearby dumpster, from under which he pulls out a katana and a domino mask, the latter of which he puts on his face before slipping down the hood of his black hoodie.

"I have these here for emergency," he says. "Good thing too."

I rip off my flannel and jeans, as well as Barbara's glasses, wearing my suit underneath my street clothes as Bruce said Kal did. Damian and I hurry down the sewer to find the entrance to the Batcave II burned away. The whole Suicide Squad is waiting, their weapons aimed forward. In the back, the man they call Deadshot holds a pistol to Barbara's head, the redhead knocked unconscious. Jessica is nowhere in sight.

"Well, well, Supergirl. We were wondering where you were," the mercenary says. "And the Boy Wonder himself, always a pleasure to battle one of you bat boys."

"I assume we don't have to tell you why we're here," the man called Deathstroke says. "Tell us where the Green Lantern and the speedster are, and we don't kill Miss Gordon." I feel my eyes heat up, my fists clenching tightly.

"We can kill you now if you want to fight," Ravager says, her dual pistols pointed at me.

"I wouldn't let her do it, she's a meanie. It won't be quick," Harley Quinn says, sticking out her tongue.

"Let her go," I hear myself growl. "Those bullets will kill us all."

"What? You mean these?" Quinn says, firing a couple shots, which I manage to dodge.

"You don't understand, they're not stable," Damian says.

"They're radioactive," I explain.

"I don't know about you guys, but it seems like they want to trick us," Captain Boomerang says. "Let's how them that we don't believe them."

A wave of bullets come at me, and I dodge left and right, a few of the synthetic Kryptonite projectiles barely missing me. They keep firing magazine after magazine, and I continue to dodge the bullets, arrows, and boomerangs that they send my way. "Get out of here," I tell Damian, knowing that the synthetic Kryptonite radiation will kill him. You'll die if you you remain here."

As I continue to dodge the bullets, I feel a boiling in my stomach; this ends now. My eyes heat up again, and I feel my heat vision kick in as blasts hit a few of my assailants. They keep shooting, and I fire more shots of heat whilst dodging their attacks. I dash and slam them from the side, sending Black Spider and Cupid into a wall. I zoom through them, slamming my fists into them blindly.

Harley Quinn POV

I flip around and try to avoid the unhinged Kryptonian girl while also trying to get her with a good shot. She has hit Black Spider, KGBeast, Rose, and Cupid so forcefully that I fear they are dead. Slade and I fire at her desperately while Digger hurls his boomerangs, but it will only be a matter of time until Supergirl kills us, too. It seems the fear she had in our last encounter has disappeared.

"Hey!" I hear come from the far end of the room. Floyd has taken Oracle away from the rampaging girl, holding the pistol to Barbara's head. "I'll kill her. Stop, or I will pull the trigger." For a few seconds, everyone is completely still. Supergirl's eyes no longer burn with heat vision, and it seems the rage that she had is gone, but then, out of nowhere, she zooms toward Floyd and smashes him through the steel wall behind him.

I barely notice the scream that I release as I run to the wall that Supergirl broke through, and I see Floyd crumpled in the next room, an armory. He's barely breathing, the shrapnel from the wall jammed into various spots on his body. "Floyd, answer me," I sob, the hot tears burning against my face.

"Harley… I can't make it…" he groans. "This is much worse than any pain I've felt."

"Don't say that," I tell him, squeezing his hands. "You can beat this."

"I'm dying. It's about damn time hell takes me," he says, coughing blood. "It's too late to save me Harley. Just promise… promise me… you'll take care of Zoe…"

"No, Floyd, you're going to see her again. Don't fucking say that," I tell him. "You can get through this." He begins to close his eyes, and I beg him not to, but words don't come out. "Floyd… Please don't leave me… Please…" I beg him. My fingers on his can sense the life fading away, but I refuse to accept it.

"Goodbye, Harley. I'm sorry we couldn't make this work," he murmurs.

"Open your eyes, please Floyd," I plead. "I love you, please come back." I search for the faintest pulse, looking for any sign of life, but I know he is gone.

"No. No, no, no, no, nooooo," I cry. I feel a hollow, empty feeling in my chest, almost as if my heart has been ripped completely from me. Then I notice her. The Kryptonian stands away from Floyd's lifeless body, a tear streaking down her face. And I hate her, so much that my stomach burns with hellish rage. All I can think of is all the people I loved and lost just because the world wanted to screw around with me. I let loose a painful shriek, and everything goes red.

Supergirl POV

Harley Quinn screams in pain as she holds Deadshot in her arms, and I truly realize the consequences of what I had done. I had killed several men and women, without remorse, without thinking of anyone but myself.

"FUCK ALL OF THIS! I HATE YOU!" she yells at me, and I know that her rage is warranted. At that very moment, the room is bathed in an ethereal red light as a scarlet ring slips itself onto Harley's finger. The bright red and baby blue jacket and pants that she wears turn to blood red and black. Her blonde, blue and pink tipped hair turns the same dark colors down to the roots. Her eyes are warped into a burning pupiless volcanic orange, and her white crop top turns black, a white logo burning itself onto her chest, a logo that Bruce had shown me among various others: the shield of the Red Lantern Corps. The broken woman stands still throughout the whole transformation, barely acknowledging the ring that has taken permanent residence upon her hand, as she cries bitter crimson tears.

Blood pours from Harley's mouth like a fiery waterfall as she glares at me in hatred. "Ivy, Mistah J, and now Floyd! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!" she screams. "WHY ME?!" She lunges towards me, but an emerald energy burst slams into the Red Lantern's back. Harley turns around and hisses angrily, firing a much more powerful red blast at Jessica, knocking her to the ground. Harley zooms away, the blood pouring from her mouth staining the ground as she flees.

"What happened?" Jessica asks. "I left Eobard to figure out what was going on. What, or who, was that?"

"A monster. And it's all my fault," I tell her.


This chapter is definitely a chapter I had fun writing, as I've been planning to make Harley a Red Lantern for a while now. She will be a big threat for the coming few chapters, and I'm really looking forward to the insane ways that Harley will use her powers. Please tell me what you think of this development!
