"Why are you doing this to me?" Helena screamed her anger awakening, "how could you?"

"I can't help how I feel," Reese declared passionately.

"You stupid idiot, I was good to you," Helena screamed picking up one of her boots and throwing it at him.

Reese ducked the shoe and said, "calm down, I didn't plan for this to happen."

"Well I didn't plan for this to happen either, but you have someone, you're leaving me for a villain that tried to kill us all," Helena screamed as she picked up a lit candle and threw it at his head.

"Are you nuts?" Reese screamed at her, "you're gonna burn this place down."

"Too late," Helena screamed as the fire spread to the rug and then to the walls, keeping Helena and Reese from being able to exit from the doorway.

"Out the window, now," Reese ordered.

"No," Helena screamed, "If you don't want me then I don't want to live. I'll die remembering my love for you."

"I won't let you die," Reese said, "I'm a police officer I can't let you."

"You and your stupid job, do you really think that Harley is gonna let you keep it, you're just a pawn to her, she wants to use you to get her precious Joker back," Helena screamed.

"You're wrong," Reese screamed, "she loves me and I love her, we're soul mates."

"Liar," Helena screamed, "but if that's the way you feel then fine, but I won't live to see it."

And with that Helena jumped into the fire that was consuming her apartment and screamed in pain as the fire starting burning away at her flesh.

"NO," Reese screamed grabbing a blanket and going in after her, "Helena."

Reese pulled Helena out of the fire and gasped as he saw her burns, "Helena stay with me, don't die Helena. Please Helena, I love you, don't die."

Helena, who was passed out, did not reply but simply went limp in his arms.

Reese carefully brought Helena and himself outside to the fire escape where they could safely exit the burning apartment. Reese then rushed down the stairs and to New Gotham General to have Helena treated and saved.

"Please don't die Helena please," Reese sobbed as they wheeled Helena away on a stretcher.

After telling the hospital what happened Reese rushed off, "if she wakes up tell her that I was wrong," Reese instructed the orderly.

"Where are you going?" Dave, one of the new detectives on the police force asked.

"I have some unfinished business," Reese said with an evil grin, grabbing his gun.

Reese then exited the hospital and started for Arkham.

When he got there he said, "Detective Reese here to see Harley Quinn."

The guard grinned, "Go right in Detective."

Reese smiled evilly as he entered Harley's vault, "hello Harley," he said evilly.

"Reese," Harley said with a large evil smile, "have you come to break me out of here like we planned?"

"Not even close," Reese said pulling out his gun and laughing as he shot her in the forehead.

Harley dropped dead to the ground with a loud thump, Reese smiled, "guard," he called.

"What happened in here?" the guard asked suspiciously.

"She attacked me," Reese said, "but I was expecting it so I had my gun, I managed to shoot her before she got me."

"Alright," the deeply stupid guard said, "you're free to go, I'll get someone in here to clean up the body, see you later."

"Goodbye," Reese said before rushing off to the hospital to see his beloved.

"Is she okay?" Reese asked the orderly from before once he got there.

The orderly nodded, "she'll be fine, she's healing very rapidly, it's like she's not completely human. She's awake too, she asked about you and I told her what you told me to tell her."

"Can I see her?" Reese asked.

The orderly nodded, "she's in room 7, and don't worry the baby will be just fine too."

"The baby?" Reese asked in confusion.
