Do not fear, I will finish this story! I promise. Reviewing makes me finish faster. When I got those two sweet reviews I made a plan to finish this chapter by today! I'm glad people are enjoying this story.

Barry enters the cabin, shouting, "I'm back."

Dick groans, "finally. I want to go back to Gotham."

Barry snorts, "sorry, kid. Were going. Just needed to pick something up." Barry holds up Harley's headdress and tosses to her. His heart flutters as her eyes light up. "Thought you'd want that back."

Harley gasps, "you went all the way back to Myrtle Beach for this."

Barry shrugs, "It's just a pit stop for me really." Barry sighs, "you girls mind if I take Dick home first?"

Ivy steps forward, "hell no you are not going to..."

Harley places a hand on Ivy's shoulder, silencing her. "It's okay Ives." Then to Barry, "you can take the kid home first." Then she whispers to Ivy, "he'll be back for us!"

Ivy rolls her eyes, "whatever."

Within minutes Dick was out of the cabin, far from Chicago, and soon standing in front of his door. Dick was hoping for a final goodbye or something, but Barry was gone.

'Didn't wanna get caught, I bet.'

Dick was about to turn the doorknob when the door was swung open.

Bruce was there with tears in his eyes. "Dick, I was so worried about you!" Then he pulled Dick into a tight hug.

Bruce, choked up, tries to ask, "Did he... Um, d-did Barry..."

Dick looks Bruce in the eyes, "Barry didn't do that to me."

Bruce sighs with relief, "really? You're not lying?"

Dick shakes his head, "I wouldn't lie."

Bruce smiles, "okay." A sigh of relief, "thank god. Let's get you inside. You tired?"

Dick shakes his head, "Barry let me sleep."

Bruce asks, "let you sleep?"

Dick nods, "He slept on the couch and let Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have one room and let me have the other."

Bruce says, "and he didn't join you once?"

Dick says, "no."

Bruce says, "okay, you hungry?"

Dick shakes his head, "no. Barry made sure I ate too."

Bruce says, "okay then." He kisses Dick on the head, "wanna call wally? He's been really worried."

Dick bites his lip.

Bruce asks, "something wrong?"

Dick shakes his head and asks, "no, um but can you call Wally over for me? I want to take a shower and have some hot chocolate!"

Bruce asks, "sh..shower?"

Dick rolls his eyes, "I told you that Barry didn't touch me like that."

Bruce apologizes, "sorry, Dick. It's just..." Bruce's turn to bite his lip.

Dick assures, "it's fine."

Bruce nods, slowly. "I'll have Alfie fix you that Hot chocolate." Bruce genitally pulls Dick closer, "let's get inside!"

Barry places Ivy and Harley down before falling to his knees.

Harley places a hand on Barry's shoulder, "you okay?"

Barry pushes himself up and smiles, "never better." He looks the hideout over and snorts. "Ever tell Joker-" Points toward the building replicating Joker's head, "subtle?"

Ivy scoffs, "like he'd give a fuck."

Harley barges inside. Once she pushes herself inside, Joker's laugh erupts.

Barry clutches his chest. "Seriously, how does Batman have such a tough time catching him?"

Harley calls out, "Mistah J. I'm home!"

Barry and Ivy follow behind her.

Harley pouts, "hmm, where could he be?" She pushes another set of doors open only to scream.

Barry rushes to her side, "what is it? You okay?"

Harley shakes her head, nearly crying.

Barry askes again, "Harley, tell me. What's wrong."

Harley points toward her living room and screams, "look at this fucking place!" Harley marches towards the pile of dirty dishes on the coffee table. "Like what am I, the fucking maid?"

Ivy pinches a purple bra up. Waving it slightly, she says "no way you're getting even one breast in this thing."

Harley says, "wait let me see that." She snatches it from Ivy's hand, "this isn't one of mine." She squeals, "I don't where fucking purple!"

"Harley?"

Harley spins around to see Joker in his bathrobe. He yawns.

"Hey, babe. Where have you been?"

Harley marches towards him with the bra clutched in her fist. "What the fuck is this?"

Joker rolls his eyes, "that's a bra. Women use them to hold their breast up."

Barry, mouth agape, asks Ivy "is this real right now."

Ivy asks, "oh, you get my pain?"

Harley snarks, "the woman this belongs to doesn't even need it."

Ivy snorts, "low fucking blow there."

Harley then screams, "so who you'se have here?"

Joker cups her cheek, "Harley, you know I love you."

Barry shakes his head and whispers, "oh she's not about to buy this."

Ivy confirms, "but she will!"

Harley nods, "I know, but why is this here?"

Joker shows anger, "one of those shitty goons decided to use our home as his sex pad. He made this huge mess and had strange women in our home. It was truly awful."

Barry mumbles, "oh brother."

Joker continues his sob story, "I killed him in your honor. I told him my Harley is not the housekeeper."

Harley smiles, "oh Puddin'"

Harley drops the bra to the floor and jumps into Joker's arms.

As they begin making out, Ivy places a hand on Barry's shoulder, "word of advice, shield your eyes!"

Barry gasps, "oh my god." He quickly spins around, joining Ivy in looking the other way. "Are they just gonna do it with us standing here?"

Ivy snorts, "they might. Neither have shame bones."

Barry cringes at the sound of Joker's laugh. "oh, always a pleasure Ivy."

Ivy turns back around, "oh yeah, isn't it!"

After another moment, Barry turns back around. he feels a tingle down his spine as he shares a look with Joker!

Joker laughs as he always does. A cruel laugh belonging to a maniac. His gaze is as murderous as always. A look that causes Barry unease.

Barry wants to look away, 'don't you dare look away!' But also doesn't want to appear weak. 'You are stronger than that stupid fear.'

Joker smirks, "but who is the norm?"

Harley giggles. She flips towards Barry. Landing in front of him, with her back towards him. "Mistah J meet Barry. I broke him out of Arkham and he has sworn his allegiance to me!"

Joker laughs, "and what's the normie pretty boy gonna do for you? How useful can he be?"

With a twinkle in her eye, "can you pweety please give that negative nancy a demonstration!"

Barry asks, "what you want me to do?"

Harley looks around at the mess, then back at Barry. She blinks suggestively.

Barry sighs. He looks at Ivy. "How did I know I was gonna be the one to clean this up."

Ivy questions, "but it's only gonna take you a few minutes."

Barry scoffs, "That doesn't mean that it's not work though. It still not fun to do!"

Joker, glaring, says "you gonna do something today, pretty boy?"]

Barry returns the glare, "yeah, I'm gonna clean your cave up."

Joker gleams, "you brought home a housekeeper. Good find. My apologies."

Harley rolls her eyes, "not quite."

Barry shakes his head, annoyed "this will be the only time you catch me cleaning up your mess, Joker!"

Harley admits, "Mistah J, it's just to show you what he can do."

Within moments Barry was gone. Joker's eyes widen. Stressing his eyes to find the missing Barry. All he could see was a blur race around the room. And garbage that littered the floor started to vanish. Spills mopped up. Cushions returned to their home on the couch. Ivy was right. Minutes later, the lair was clean.

Barry plops on the couch, visibly exhausted.

Joker whispers, still reeling from shock, "he's a speedster." Then he recovers with an evil gleam in his eye and an evil smirk to match. Repeating, "a speedster."

Harley moves to stand in front of Joker and giggles, "pretty good find, right?"

Joker pushes past her. He jumps over the couch. Now facing Barry. "You are going to be..."

Barry jumps up so fast, it startles Joker to silence. "Let me just cut you off before you you start." Clearing his throat, "you're out of your damn mind. Freaking crazy."

Joker smiles and fixes an imaginary tie. "Why thank you speedster. How kind of you to notice."

Barry glares, slapping nothing hands on his head. Fingers strolling through his hair. He screams, "not a compliment dude." Barry sighs, "anyway. what I was gonna say, I'm not like you!" Forming his arms into an X, "I refuse to hurt people. Civilians especially." As Barry makes his way towards Harley he says "but that being said..."

When he is standing beside Harley, he slowly turns back around to face Joker. With his right hand, he uses his thumb to point at Harley. "I work for her."

Joker scoffs, "her?"

Barry nods vigorously, "yes, her!"

Harley laughs, "see Mistah J, starting my own goons up. I already have the head of the bunch."

Joker laughs cruelly. "Oh Harley. You know nothing about leading your own goons."

Harley pouts.

Barry rolls his eyes, "I'm sure if you can do it, will be easy for her to do it."

Joker growls, swinging his arm towards Barry who would have been backhanded if it weren't for his speed.

Barry laughs, "ha, man I missed these powers."

Joker angrily points towards Barry, "you will stand still when I'm about to hit you."

Barry snorts, "uh I will not!"

Joker turns his attention to Harley, "see what I mean, you have no control over him."

"Puddin', just calm down."

Without saying anything he swings at Harley, eliciting a reaction from both Barry and Ivy. Ivy catches Joker's Fist with her vines, while Barry speeds Harley out of harm's way.

Harley pushes herself out of Barry's arms, "wait, Ivy don't hurt him."

Barry questions, "seriously. He was going to punch you."

Harley giggles, helping Joker remove the vine. Ahe pokes him on the nose, "My puddin' just has trouble controlling his temper."

Ivy groins, "I'm gonna puke."

Barry shakes his head, moaning "same."

Joker smiles, cupping Harley's cheek. "that's right." He speaks dramatically, "My Harley dearest knows me too well." Then adds, "I love you, Harley. Always will."

Her eyes gleam, "I love you too, Mistah J."

Joker stands up straight. "As for your new friend."

Joker quickly places a gas mask over himself and Harley. The room fills with a purple gas. As the gas clears, Ivy and Barry cough.

Harley rips the gas mask off herself and asks, "what the fuck was that?"

Joker shrugs, "Smylex. My new toxin. It activates with disobedience. Your welcome deary."

Ivy growls, "you infected me too, asshole!"

Joker rolls his eyes, "oh relax. Your probably immune."

Ivy snarls, "I don't like those odds, dickweave!"

Joker says, "fine. I'll make an antidote."

Ivy screams, "you don't have one already." She then adds, "harls, I know you love him. But Imma kill him this time."

Before Ivy can reach Joker, Harley gets in between the two.

Harley says, "Ives, not knowing if your infected or not, that's probably not a good idea." Then she turns to Joker, "and babe, I don't think we had to use one of your Joker toxins on Barry."

Barry snorts, "it's fine Harley. 'Cause I don't have anything to lose. I don't give a care about death. I'm still going to do what I want and I'll still won't do what I don't want! And your boyfriend can kill me if he wants to. Kill me!" Barry gets louder. "You hear me? KILL ME! I said KILL MEEEEE!"

Joker laughs, "oh, I was wrong! I do like him! He's crazier than me!" Another laugh. Joker flips his way over to Barry. Placing an arm around Barry's shoulders, "let's get you a room. And Tomorrow you can rob all the banks in Gotham."

Barry says, "Gotham is under Batman's protection!"

Joker smirks, "you scared of the Bat?"

Barry slaps Joker's hand away and shouts, "I'm not scared of that jackass!" Then continues, "but he is an inconvenience. While Flash is MIA leaving Central City without a real hero. Just that stupid brat! If the kid got any balls at all to face me. And by the time he is able to contact the assholes of the Justice League, I'll have the money back here in Gotham!"

Joker stands back. He whispers, "that smart."

Barry rolls his eyes, "duh."

Joker smiles, "Harley, I never loved you more. Finding me a smart and crazy..."

Barry reminds, "she found you nothing. I don't work for you!"

Joker scoffs, waving Barry off "petty details."

Wally rushes toward Dick, grasping him in a deep hug. Nearly causing Dick to spill his hot chocolate. "Oh Dick, I'm so happy you are okay!"

Dick chuckles, "yeah, Wals, I'm just fine." Dick smiles cheekily, "see."

Dick looks toward his bed. "Come sit." He plops down, but Wally hesitates. Dick says again, "come on. Sit down."

Wally nods and does choose to sit beside Dick.

Dick holds his cup up and asks, "want Alfie to make you a cup?"

Wally shakes his head, "no, I'm fine."

Dick shrugs and takes another sip.

After spending a couple of minutes in silence, Wally asks, "he um... to you?"

Dick shakes his head. "No." Then bites his lip before deciding to ask, "but he did it to you! Right?"

Wally focuses his gaze on the ground. "Yeah." Then smiles. His eyes glisten with tears. He looks at Dick, "but I'm glad he didn't hurt you though."

Dick then decides to push. "Wally, you are my best friend!"

Wally chuckles, "and your mine."

Dick says, "so you know that you can tell me anything, right?"

Wally nods, "of course."

Dick licks his lips. He takes a deep breath in. And out. "So, maybe you lied about this. And if you did, maybe you just tell me and we start there. And I'll stay by your side through whatever happens."

Wally tilts his head. "I don't understand."

Dick breathes out. "Barry wanted you to know he won't be mad!"

Wally asks again, "wait, what?"

Dick says, "If you just tell the truth, he won't be mad. He promised. And he said he'll make sure nothing bad happens to you. He promised me! He said it doesn't even matter why you lied."

Wally angrily wipes the tears from his eyes. Glaring, Wally says, "You're stupid."

Dick says defensively, "excuse me?"

Wally repeats, "you're fucking stupid." Wally jumps up. He snarls, "How could you believe him and think that I made this shit up?"

Dick stands up too. "He didn't touch me and he seemed..."

Wally interrupts dick by screaming, "so that automatically means that he never touched me. That I'm a fucking liar? What kind of friend are you?"

Dick shouts, "I'm just saying that maybe you didn't understand or... He seemed genuine."

Wally shakes his head in disbelief. "I am so out of here. And for the record, Mr. genuine raped me. I didn't lie and I can't believe you think I did. He knows what he did and just doesn't want to admit it."

And Dick blinked his eyes, but Wally was gone.

Bruce knocks on his bedroom door (which was left open by Wally). "Dick?"

Dick puts the cup on his nightstand and rushes to Bruce. Crying into his stomach.

Bruce wraps his arms around Dick, "what's wrong?"

Dick cries, "I think I made an awful mistake!"

Bruce asks, "you wanna talk about it?"

Dick nods, but first needs to know, "you won't be mad at me, will you?"

Bruce kisses Dick atop his head, "never."
