A/N: REVIEW FOR IT FEEDS MY ENGINE OF CREATION!

Or gets Gotham nuked.

Same thing, right?

Trying for a double update today, just got another chapter of "To Love A Monster" out, so I figured I'd follow in that setting and pump out the next long-awaited chapter for "Crazy Loves Crazy" as well! Still gotta get around to seeing that new Suicide Squad move though, I mean, I have the bloody thing but I just don't have any TIME to watch it between work, family, and trying to pump out all these updates on a regular basis. In all honesty, I think it might be screwing with my health, but I'm just too stubborn to stop XD

Oddly enough, I've actually been getting a bit of cursing/hate for updating so rapidly as of late.

I'm not talking about the kind, concerned words of people fearing I'm overworking.

Seriously? I don't even have words for that. No, I'm genuinely at a loss!

I'm fucking battling depression and...other things so write this!

Can't please everyone I suppose, but it still hurts.

Oi, this chapter's meant to make you laugh.

Try not to take it too seriously, ya know.

It's meant to be short and sweet.

No complaints, please!

Onward for glory!

FOR THE FANS!

Onward~!

"He actually did it?!"

"Surprise!"

"Oi!"

~?

Burn this City

"Puddin'."

"Yes, Harley?"

"Did you just nuke Gotham?!"

"Well, that depends. Define...nuke."

"As in explode! Boom! You know what I mean!"

Naruto tilted his head from side to side, considering her statement as one would a rotten fruit gone past its expiration date. In the distance a towering mushroom cloud blossomed on the horizon, rising over the city of Gotham with sound and aplomb. Even from here she could hear the sirens, feel the hot breeze washing over her like an angry tide of crimson. For his part, her lover showed little concern for the city he'd just laid waste to, if not destroyed outright. Might have destroyed, the blond reminded herself with ruthless determination. After all, the blond had proven be nothing if not unpredictable in the past. This could easily be yet another prank of some sort, an elaborate ruse concocted to distract from his true objective.

That might be the case, right?

...right?

"Hmm, that?" abruptly, he answered her question, turning and marching away from the rooftop. "Don't worry. Its not a nuke. I swapped it out for something better. Its going to be glorious! C'mon, what're you waiting for Harley?! There's work to be done!" Swinging himself off a low-hanging railing, he leaped the short distance to the ground. Landing in a pointed crouch below her, he paused just long enough to get his bearings. No sooner did he have them than he immediately rose and set out toward his next destination.

Leaving her behind.

Harley jumped, suddenly finding herself struggling to keep pace with him.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Clamoring off the roof as quickly as her less-than-able body would allow, the scrambled after the whiskered warrior, quick as you please. He slowed just a hair for her and she used the opportunity to hasten to his side, careful to avoid the chaos raging around the two of them. Easier said than done, especially when one considered Naruto had released every single prisoner from their cells. Under any other circumstances she might've found it incredibly funny, but now, the raging riots and fires around them seemed...sad somehow.

Arkham had descended into anarchy.

Everywhere she looked she could see chaos raging around them in a maelstrom of activity. Fights broke out as the guards tried-and failed-to fight off the escaping convicts. Their sole saving was that said inmates were so intent on escaping the facility that they didn't bother to linger and torment them as they otherwise might have.

Unfortunately that didn't make it any less dangerous for them

"Hmm? Oi, watch it! Alligator ahoy!"

A strong arm reeled her into his chest as Killer Croc nearly trampled her underfoot. For his part the massive saurian paid them absolutely no heed and stormed past, intent on some unknown objective. Heart hammering in her chest, she risked a furtive glance up at her savior and received a pat on the head for her troubles. In the same instant the other shot out like a vicious piston, braining another prisoner who'd crept up behind them with less than honorable intentions. She craned her head at the stain. Oh, dear. Had that been Scarecrow? Well, he wouldn't be scaring anyone without a head...

"Jeez, that was messy! Thanks for the save!"

"Welcome." her fellow blond beamed. "Now up we go! I want to see my handiwork."

"H-Hey!" her face burned as he swept an arm under her legs What are you dooooooooooooooing?!"

Before she could think to protest the sudden intimacy any further, Naruto scooped her up in his arms and leaped.

Hence her scream.

Wind roared in Harley's ears, keening impossibly loud. Despite her better half shrieking otherwise, she made the mistake of looking down. Big mistake, that. The distant sight of the asylum below had her burying her head in Naruto's chest. Frantic, she grabbed at him, her hands curling around the collar of his jacket. Distantly she realized they must've landed-likely in Gotham-but even then she couldn't think. Fear compelled her to hold her breath, but rather than the searing lung-melting radiation she had expected, she tasted only clean air. Pervaded by ash perhaps, but air nonetheless.

Slowly, reluctantly, she dared to open her eyes.

Wait.

That wasn't ash.

No, it almost looked like...

...noodles? That was impossible.

Yet the longer she looked, she more certain she became.

"Ha!" Naruto's shout stirred her from her reverie. "Brilliant! It actually worked!"

It was raining, but nor ash, nor fire, nor brimstone. Not even water. But noodles. Great, copious amounts of ramen and broth spilled from the sky as though spilled from a giant bowl. One that showed no sign of running empty anytime soon, judging by the steady deluge. Such phenomena should've been impossible of course. No amount of moisture or condensation could possibly account for food falling from the sky, even if you were an almighty immortal with godlike...wait, she was getting ahead of herself, wasn't she?

"You mean that bomb was a dud? B-But the mushroom cloud and the fire...

"Oh that?" Scoffing, the blond waved her remark aside with a laugh. "Improvisation. The same formulate isn't any fun. Death gets boring after awhile. I like to switch things up every now and again, ya know?"

He paused, waiting for the words to sink.

"So I thought to myself, let's do something different!" laughing, he spread his arms wide, as though to embrace-what he no doubt considered-the heavenly rain with both arms. "Something chaotic!"

"What, a prank?" she posited.

The blond recoiled as though he'd been struck.

"A prank?! Harley, you wound me! This isn't just a prank!"

"Then what the hell is it?"

"Why, its the prank to end all pranks!"

Now, Harley wasn't stupid. In fact, she was quite brilliant actually. For so long she had played the ditz because it suited her and...him...when in fact, she was quite brilliant. In the span of a few short days, circumstances had changed. Now, allowed to exercise her substantial psyche without fear of an angry backhand or a blow the head, she was free to express her disbelief. Moreso when a particularly large noodle splotched down against her nose. Wiping away, she restrained a small scowl. This was beginning to get a little too crazy, even for her.

Honestly, she was half-tempted to call bullshit on the whole shebang.

"Why do I feel as if I just missed a joke, here?"

"Oh, you haven't." Naruto reassured her.

Sweeping a bowl from gods-knew-where, he snagged some of the deluge and presented it to her with palms upturned.

Doubtless, he intended for her to drink it.

"I call it...Super Ramen."

Harley eyed the noodles before her with thinly-veiled suspicion.

"Super Ramen? When did you have time to...no, how did you even make...

"Super Ramen." the ninja's face was entirely too-serious for her liking. "C'mon, try it! I made it myself, fresh out of the bomb! Its delicious! Trust me, you'll understand after you've eaten it."

The former clown regarded the preferred bowl warily.

"That's what worries me, pudding...

The jester once more turned her eyes to the steaming bowl of broth before her, now wary. Gold. Could ramen be gold? Because it certainly was. Glowing, that is. RAMEN SHOULDN'T BE GLOWING! A faint aroma pervaded her nostrils, steam visibly rising from the bowl in a thick cloud, pervading the air around them like a glorious. She daren't inhale directly, for fear of fainting dead away. Naruto possessed many talents when it came to his given profession but cooking...well, she hadn't thought cooking to be one of them. Least of all ramen made out of a bomg. Still, the pleasant smile dogged her like a vicious hyena, worrying at her guiltily until her resolve crumbled into bite size pieces. Surely it couldn't taste that bad...

Gulping, she tilted the bowl backwards.

"Well, here goes nothing, I guess...

Instantly, the broth rushed in.

It wasn't bad.

It was HEAVEN.

Bliss. Pure, utter bliss.

Harley swayed backwards

"Oh my god, This...this tastes so-

At a loss for words, her body failed her.

Wordlessly, she collapsed in a boneless heap.

Sighing, Naruto regarded her prone form with a small smile.

"Hmm. Well, that's unfortunate. Maybe I made it a little too strong? Meh. What could possibly go wrong...?"
