Chapter X: (Warning Boring Filler before something interesting. Reading this chapter may cause a sense of, "This isn't very Batman universe like but hey, it is supposed to be a spinoff.)
Harley woke up, she didn't even remember falling asleep. To her surprise, she was in a bed. "Don't tell me I was dreaming." She said not opening her eyes. She felt an arm around her, "What Harl?" She heard Heath's familiar voice answer. She finally opened an eye. She was in a room, thankfully not Black Site. She looked left and saw a door and a window, right and saw Heath lying next to her. "Where are we?" She asked. "Let's just say you're lucky I have a wallet with a credit card." He teased. "A hotel?" She asked further. "Yep. In the middle of flat out nowhere." He replied. She looked back up at the ceiling, "They're gonna look for us you know. We don't exactly blend in." Harley sighed.
He sat up and looked at her expression. "What's wrong Harley?" He asked. "Heath..." she said with a crack in her voice as she looked up into his eyes. "Yes?" He replied. "I wanna go home." She said as tears began to form in her eyes. "Gotham?" He asked. She rolled over and curled up in a ball, sobbing softly. "Harley?" Heath said leaning over her and taking hold of her gloved hand.
She looked up at him with her now streaked face. "Do you love me?" He asked.
After a slight pause she squeezed his hand and replied softly. "Yes." He replied silently with a warm smile and laid back down behind her, keeping hold of her hand. "Heath?" She asked still facing away. "Yes Harl?"
"Are you my new Joker?" She asked. He didn't hesitate to hug her, "I'll try." He said. "Yes or no." She said with a sniffle.
He stayed silent for a moment before speaking. "Smile my Jester, for thou have acquired a Clown of love."
Harley giggled at the tease. "I like you more already." She said as she pressed herself back against his body. "We'll jack a car tomorrow, then I'll take you home." He said assuringly. Harley replied with a humming "mhmm." But she was thinking about a map she saw a year ago. A map that had ten locations on it and one of them was between Gotham City and Louisiana. And Heath was going to become the next Joker alright. 100%...
