A/N: I was hoping to do something a bit different for my next fanfic but to be honest I just enjoy writing Harley Quinn to much. So I just decided to follow up my previous Harley story. Don't worry though, very little previous knowledge is required. All you need to know is that Harley is friends with C-list Batman villain Magpie and Flash rogue Trickster and she had to leave Gotham City to go to Hollywood at the very end of the previous story. I'm hoping to write something a bit different next time but for now I'm just going to enjoy writing Harley.

Our Cast

Funky Flashman: Funky Flashman is a businessman and con artist who usually serves as the manager and publicist to escape artists/superhero Mister Miracle. In this story, Flashman has branched out into working in the movie industry as you will later see.

It was the beginning of something very new and exciting in the life of Harley Quinn. The majority of her criminal career was spent in Gotham City, she knew every inch of place inside and out. From where the best hiding spots and criminal connections were to where to get the best pizza in town. But today she was leaving all of that behind for a brand new venture. It wasn't entirely by choice. Several months ago she left the Joker and set out on her own. This led to her falling in love with and subsequently dating Poison Ivy and also making a large number of enemies within Gotham's criminal community.

Because of the latter development, Harley had made the decision to skip town. A recent ally of theirs, one of the Flash's enemies known as the Trickster, was currently living in Los Angeles. So Harley had decided to go down there. She packed up her things, got into an RV and drove off into the sunset. With her was her new girlfriend Poison Ivy, best friend Selina Kyle and a new addition to her crew, Magpie. Selina and Ivy were skeptical about Magpie but she had proven herself loyal to Harley so it was decided that Magpie could tag along with her on the road trip.

They'd spent at least a week on the road as they travelled from Gotham City all the way to Los Angeles. They all took turns driving but the process still managed to be rather monotonous. It was around three in the afternoon when they finally arrived in LA with Selina driving and Magpie in the passenger's seat to keep her company. While they drove, Harley had decided she was in a romantic mood, as she often was, and convinced Ivy to cuddle up with her on the RV's couch.

Harley decided that she'd be the big spoon this time since usually Ivy was the one to play that role. She had her arms wrapped around Ivy, nuzzling her face against her neck and one hand semi-innocently resting against her breast.

"Oh Pammy… I still can't believe you're my girlfriend…" Harley happily sighed. "It almost feels too good to be true."

"I know what you mean, Harls." Ivy glanced back at Harley. "But you'd better believe it. We deserve each other so much."

Harley gave Ivy a quick kiss on the cheek. "Mm, you bet! Once we're able to spend the night somewhere with our own private room I got some fun ideas you 'n me can try out…"

"Do you always have sex on the brain?" Ivy smirked and chuckled a bit.

"I can't help it Red!" Harley giggled. "You're just so cute!" Feeling a bit playful, she gave Ivy's breast a gentle squeeze.

Before things could escalate further or Ivy could even say anything, the RV came to a gradual stop and Magpie called out to the others. "Hey girls, we're at the place Trickster told us to meet!"

"Ooh, finally!" Harley cheered. "C'mon Ives, this is gonna be worth the wait." She kissed Ivy on the cheek again before standing up with her girlfriend.

The two of them exited the vehicle and found Magpie and Selina already waiting for them. The RV was parked across the street from a large movie studio with large letters above an archway reading Monarch Studios.

Already it felt so different from Gotham. It was sunnier and hotter for one thing but even the architecture and the way the air smelled felt different. Truly it was going to be a different world now. Harley looked at her friends and then down at herself. Even though they were all dressed in inconspicuous street clothes Harley couldn't help but feel out of place. She self consciously played with her hair.

"Do we look suspicious… I feel suspicious." Harley whispered to her friends.

"Well, you're pale as fuck and Ivy has green skin." Selina pointed out. "But if you act natural we should be fine."

"Just don't attack anyone and act natural." Magpie advised them. "C'mon, let's go meet up with Trickster."

Harley nodded and led the way across the street and over to the movie studio. A security guard at the front gate was a bit uncooperative. He apparently didn't believe that they'd been invited here. But a quick dusting of special pollen from Ivy got them access.

They four of them entered the Monarch Studios main building where a young woman, presumably a secretary or receptionist of some kind, was at a desk in front of a computer. Harley, still excited to the point of bouncing up and down a little, made the first move and approached the woman at the desk.

"Excuse me, I got a question for ya." Harley put on her best smile.

"Sure, what is it?" The woman looked up from her computer.

"Is there a Mr. James Jesse here? Me 'n my friends are acquainted with him and we'd like to see him." Harley explained.

The woman nodded. "Mr. Jesse's in Mr. Flashman's office right now. Would you like me to call him?"

"Yes please." Harley nodded. "Oh and tell him Ms. Harley and the girls are here to see him."

The woman politely smiled and nodded, although it may only have been because it was part of her job. She picked up the phone and pressed a button. After a small pause, she told whoever was on the other line about the situation and had a small laugh with whoever was there. She hung up and glanced up to Harley. "He'll see you. Mr. Flashman's office is straight down the hall, third door on the right."

"Thank ya very much!" Harley cheered and began walking in the direction she was told to go. She giggled a bit and motioned for her friends to follow. Right now Harley was absolutely filled with excitement and wanted to meet with Trickster right then and there.

The other three women followed behind Harley with Magpie trailing in the very back after she stopped to take some shiny wrapped peppermints from the candy bowl on the reception desk.

"Are you girls excited as I am?" Harley asked.

"It's hard to beat you when it comes to enthusiasm." Selina remarked.

The girls quickly came to the door the receptionist indicated. It had a label on it that said F. Flashman on it which was presumably who the office belonged to. The sounds of laughing and talking were heard from the inside.

Harley once again took the lead and knocked at the door, making the talking from inside stop momentarily. Footsteps approached the door until it cracked up slightly to reveal the Trickster on the other side. It appeared he'd ditched his typical gaudy orange costume and domino mask for a finely tailored grey suit and blue necktie. He had a big smile on his face, seeming happy to see his old acquaintances again.

"Well, it's great to see you girls! Come on in." Trickster opened the door fully and motioned for them to enter the office. "We've got smokes and booze, it's old school Hollywood in here. We're expecting you actually, we got chairs and everything."

"Who's we exactly?" Ivy asked, smirking a bit.

"Oh, that would be my new business partner." Trickster said.

The four women filtered into the medium-sized office, at the centre of which was a desk that Trickster had been sitting in front of. On the other side of the desk was a man in his 50s with thick brown hair and a big brown beard dressed in a pinstripe suit with an ascot around his neck.

"Funky Flashman, pleased to meet you!" the man reached out toward the four women. "James here has told me a lot about you all. And let me say, you're even more beautiful in person."

Harley reached out and shook his hand excitedly but the other three women seemed more hesitant. It was Ivy that spoke to him first. "I'm sorry, your first name is Funky?"

"Sure is babe." Funky nodded. "Look, we live in a world of ridiculous names. I'm talking to a man named James Jesse." He pointed over to Harley. "What's your name, sweetheart?"

"Harleen Quinzel." Harley said. "But everyone calls me Harley."

"See what I mean?" Funky said. "Now c'mon, sit down, we have a lot to discuss."

The four women sat down in front of Funky's desk beside the Trickster. Once they were all seated Funky began talking again. "Now, I take it that all of you are criminals, right?"

"Uh, what? No of course not!" Magpie quickly said.

"Relax doll, I'm a criminal too." Funky said matter of factly. "Mostly fraud and a bit of embezzlement here and there. This jackass is blackmailing me about it." He pointed over to Trickster.

"It's not really blackmail if you tell everyone." Trickster pointed out.

"Sure, but if you tell anyone about what I've done I'll just tell the cops that you all are some of the country's most wanted criminals." Funky said. "Now, do you all wanna talk legality or do you wanna talk movies?"

"Ooh, movies!" Harley cheered.

"That's the enthusiasm I like to see." Funky remarked. "Now, James here is blackmailing me so he can work on one of my movies and he wants me to extend the same offer to you. You girls up for it? Wanna be part of Hollywood magic?"

"Yes please!" Harley nodded, clasping her hands together. She looked over at the other three women. "Whatta you girls think?"

"I'm up for it." Selina nodded. "I do love the glamour of Hollywood."

"I wanna be part of it too." Magpie nodded. "Mostly for all those bright shiny lights."

Ivy thought for a second before looking back at Harley and nodding. "If it's what you want, then I want it too."

Harley smiled and leaned over to kiss Ivy on the cheek. "Aww, thanks Pammy."

"Great, that's great news!" Funky gave them all a thumbs up.

"So what kind of movie are you working on exactly?" Selina asked.

"Glad you asked." Funky smiled. "I wanna bring back the great American western! Cowboys, gunplay, gold rushes, horses, all that good stuff."

"Sounds fun! I love a good shoot 'em up movie." Harley remarked. "Where do we all come in?"

"Great question, I do not know." Funky admitted. "But I'll figure something out for you girls, don't you worry. I'll give you a call when I got something for you to do."

"In the meantime, how about you all head over to my apartment?" James suggested. "Me and Funky have a few things to finish up." He took a sticky note from off the desk and scribbled an address down on it. "My good friend Daniel Cassidy lives there. He'll be glad to see you all." He handed off the sticky note to Selina who put it in her pocket.

"Well, it's been nice meetin' ya Mr. Funky and seeing you again Mr. Jesse." Harley stood up from her seat and reached across the table to shake Funky Flashman's hand. After that she gestured for the other women to follow her and they soon left the office, leaving Trickster and Funky to talk more.

Once they were gone Harley let out a high pitch squeal of excitement that she had been repressing the entire meeting. "I'm gonna be a movie star!"

"Nobody said anything about being a star." Selina pointed out. "We don't know what he'll make us do."

"Well, I'm involved in movies now and that's good enough for me." Harley shrugged.

"I just love how excitable you are." Ivy smiled, putting an arm around Harley.

About forty-five minutes later, the four girls had driven their RV across town to an apartment building indicated on the sticky note given to them. They went to the fifth floor and found the apartment number they were supposed to go to. This time Magpie took the lead and knocked at the door. After just a few moments the door opened up revealing a sight none of the girls were prepared to see; a tall muscular man with blue skin and horns. He resembled a demon of some kind. The only thing undercutting his frightening appearance was the casual t-shirt and jeans he was dressed up in.

"Who the hell are you girls?" The blue horned man asked.

"Uh, we're friends with Trickster." Magpie said.

"We'll be staying here for a while." Harley added.

"Goddammit, he's bad enough already." The blue man shook his head. "Look, I was being nice to James but I'm not letting any weird ladies stay at my-"

He became cut off when Ivy pushed her way to the front of the group and grabbed the blue man by his collar. She quickly pulled him into a rather forceful kiss. His eyes went blank for a moment and Ivy pulled back.

"Now then, can we stay here?" Ivy asked.

"Yes…" The man droned.

"Wonderful." Ivy nodded. "Come on girls, let's go."

The women entered the apartment, walking right past the now mesmerized man. Selina stopped in front of him and examined him for a moment. "You know… I think I recognize this guy…"

"Who is he?" Harley asked. "He certainly looks… Distinctive…"

"I think he's Blue Devil, he's one of the reserve members of the Justice League. Batman mentioned him to me once." Selina said. "When Trickster said the name Daniel Cassidy I thought he sounded familiar."

"Well, whoever he is, we live with him now." Ivy remarked. "And as long as I give him a semi-regular dose of pollen, he should be fine with it." She looked over to Blue Devil and smirked. "Daniel, do me a favour. Close that front door and go to your room until I need something."

"Yes miss…" Blue Devil closed the front door and them shuffled off to another room in the house.

"Damn, I wonder what Mr. Devil here does in his free time." Harley took off her shoes and sat down on the couch in front of a large TV. "His house seems even nicer than yours, Red."

"I guess the JLA must give him money. Or maybe he's got some sort of side hustle." Ivy sat down on the couch beside Harley. She puts an arm around Harley and cuddles up with her.

"Well, I don't know about you girls, but I'm going to take a shower now. It is hot here and I am not dressed for this weather right now." Selina said.

"No fair, I wanted to take a shower." Magpie crossed her arms grumpily.

"Well you can either wait your turn or share the shower with me. Your choice." Selina smirked at her.

"Ugh, fine…" Magpie sighed. "I'll go unpack my luggage. But you'd better save some hot water for me." She picked up a suitcase she left by the door and soon disappeared into a bedroom.

"Hmm, someone's moody." Selina chuckled as she left to go find the apartment's bathroom.

With the other two women gone, Ivy cuddled Harley a bit closer and kissed her forehead. "I really do think this trip will be a good thing for us…"

"I know what ya mean." Harley nodded. "It feels real great to get outta Gotham City. I mean, it's alright there but it can get way too gloomy sometimes."

"That's an understatement if I've ever heard one." Ivy chuckled. "I like it a lot here. I'm a bit of a west coast girl, grew up in Seattle."

"Ooh, ya ever wanna go back there?" Harley asked.

"No, I'd rather not see my family." Ivy shook her head. "I haven't talked to them since the whole plant transformation thing and I think I'd rather keep it that way."

"It's probably for the best. I've tried to reconnect with my family… It's awkward." Harley sighed.

"Going up to Oregon could be nice though." Ivy remarked. "I remember when I was a girl I loved going there on vacation."

"The future's wide open. We can do anything." Harley happily sighed, snuggling herself closer to Ivy.

"That's right…" Ivy ran her fingers through Harley's hair. "If there's one thing I love it's freedom…"

"Well right now we got a whole lot of it." Harley smiled. "So we'd best enjoy it."

"Oh trust me Harls, I'm enjoying myself a whole lot just being with you." Ivy nodded.

"Good. So am I…" Harley sighed again, smiling up at Ivy.

Across town, all the way back at the Monarch Studios lot, Funky Flashman and the Trickster had just finished their meeting together. It wasn't too much important, mostly just discussing movie details and generally joking around. The sun had gone down when the two of them left the building and began making their way over to the parking lot.

"I tell ya James, for a blackmailing criminal you are one charming guy." Funky remarked.

"Thank you, my charm is my best quality." Trickster chuckled.

The two men approached a car belonging to Funky Flashman. A man of expensive taste, it was a vintage car that he kept in pristine condition. Funky and Trickster's joking and chatting suddenly became quiet when they got closer to the car and noticed two strange men standing near it. One was dressed in a tracksuit and the other in a hockey jersey and sweatpants, both seemed rather athletic.

"Oh shit…" Funky trailed off.

"What is it?" Trickster whispered.

"Act casual." Funky whispered back. "I think I know these guys."

"Friends of yours?"

"Uh, something like that… Let's take the bus tonight, James. I can get the car in the morning."

But as Funky and James tried to walk by the parked car, the stranger in the tracksuit called out to them. "Mr. Flashman! Don't walk away so fast, we wanna chat." He had a vague accent that could be anywhere from Spanish to Italian to Russian.

Funky paused and Trickster stopped right beside him. Smiling awkwardly, Funky turned around to face the men. "Hello there boys! Have we met?"

"You don't know us, but we know you." The hockey jersey man said. He glanced to Trickster for a moment. "Well, actually, I'm not sure who your friend is."

"Your friend isn't the concern here, Mr. Flashman." The man in the tracksuit said.

"Can you fine gentlemen tell me why you're here." Funky put on his best fake smile.

"You happen to owe a lot of money to one Vincenzo Baldi. Do you remember this?" The tracksuit man calmly explained.

"Money you have not paid back." The jersey man added.

"Fellas, fellas, I live a very expensive lifestyle. Surely your boss can give me an extension?" Funky tried to reason.

"You've been given an extension and it runs out three days from now." The tracksuit man informed him. "Consider this a warning. Pay up by the deadline or Don Vincenzo may pay you a personal visit." With that warning done, the two men slowly turned around and began walking away.

Once they were out of ear shot, Trickster turned to speak with Funky. "So, um, what the hell was that?"

"I may or may not owe a large amount of money to a local mob boss." Funky admitted. "So you can add that to your list of blackmail material if you want."

"Are those guys gonna cause any issues with making your movie?" Trickster asked

"Let's hope not… I'm having enough issues already…" Funky sighed and began walking back towards his car.

"Well, if they get to be too much trouble, we can always send Harley to kill them." Trickster suggested.

"Would she do that?"

"She's done worse for less from what I hear. She kinda likes causing destruction, it's her thing."

"I'll keep that in mind." Funky chuckled as he unlocked the door to his call. "Y'know something James, these friends of yours could be very useful to me.."

"They're good people. Well, relatively speaking." Trickster nodded. "I think our partnership will be very beneficial…"

A/N: Well that's the first chapter. It's pretty short but this chapter is sort of a prologue, sort of introducing characters and plot elements. I expect future chapters to be longer. I'm excited to write more of this. I'm aiming for somewhere between 10 and 13 chapters this time, nowhere near as long as my last story. It still should be fun.
