"Are you sure you'll be okay without me Babs?" Alexis asks as she is standing outside with Barbara.

"I'm positive. You go and figure out where you belong at. Find something that makes you happy. I don't like seeing you unable to be yourself. This way you can." Barabara says as she smiles.

"Thanks Babs. You're the best friend I ever had." Alexis says as she hugs Barbara.

"I'm the only best friend you've ever had." Barbara says as she hugs Alexis back while smiling.

"Touche. Good luck with your new double life. I'm always just a call away for anything you need." Alexis says as she chuckles and pulls away from Barbara.

"Same here. We'll talk soon." Babara says as Alexis smiles at her before leaving.

*3 Month Timeskip*

"I can't believe this. Only a little bit of pay for the work I've been doing. This is barely enough for rent. Ugh. I so need a better paying job. Oh well. Least I can go home for the night." Alexis says as she is walking home after finishing work at a restaurant for the night.

"If you want a better paying job maybe we could assist with that." A voice says revealing to be four men.

"Yeah. A pretty girl like you would be great for this gig. And best of all you just have to lay still and look pretty." Another man says as he smiles causing Alexis to nervously begin to back away.

"Uh... No, no thank you. I think I'm good." Alexis says as she puts her hands up in defense.

"Come on now. We aren't gonna hurt you." A man says as he grabs Alexis's by the wrist.

"Leave me alone!" Alexis shouts as she hits the man and bolts.

"Feisty one. I like it. Get her!" The man shouts as alexis keeps running from the men.

"Oh great. And I can't exactly shift here where there's houses. People could hear and see me. Shit! Gotta hide and fast." Alexis thinks as she quickly goes down an alley and hides behind a dumpster.

"Come on out little girl. We won't hurt you. Honest. Find her." The man says as he and his men come into the alley and begin to look around.

"Yeah right. What do they think I am? Stupid? I won't come out long as I think I won't be found." Alexis thinks before she is grabbed from behind.

"Gotcha!" A man shouts.

"Let me go!" Alexis shouts as she attacks the man with vines and ice only to get grabbed by two other men.

"So you're one of those powers chicks? You ought to be fun then." The man says as he smiles before the two men holding Alexis pin her onto the ground.

"Stay away from me! Get off!" Alexis shouts in fear as the lead man gets on top of her.

"Oh relax. You'll love it." The man says as he takes off Alexis's top.

"Get off her!" A voice shouts angrily revealing to be Harley with a bat.

"Stay out of this Harley Quinn. Besides you're no hero. You're just like us." The lead man says.

"You're right. I'm not a hero but you're not gonna hurt that girl with me around. Now as I said get off her or this is gonna get ugly quick." Harley says threateningly.

"Make us. No way we'd pass up a pretty broad like this." The lead man says.

"Fine. Have it the hard way then." Harley says as she swings a bat at the men knocking them off Alexis.

"Harley? You're helping me?" Alexis asks in surprise as Harley helps her up.

"Hide and then cover your eyes and don't open them till I say so." Harley says as Alexis nods and hides behind the dumpster as she hears the men screaming before hearing Harley shout and sees a man has grabbed Harley from behind.

"Harley!" Alexis shouts.

"Let me go!" Harley shouts as she tries to get loose.

"If I can't get one chick I'll get you instead." The man says as he smiles.

"Let her go!" Alexis shouts as she shoots a sharp rock from the ground at the man impaling him as he drops to the ground.

"You just killed that guy..." Harley says in surprise.

"He was gonna hurt you. I couldn't let him do that. Sorry." Alexis says as she looks at the ground.

"No don't apologize. That was fucking amazing! Wow. Never thought a goody goody would do a thing like that." Harley says excitedly.

"I'm just glad you're okay." Alexis says.

"Why are you out here anyway? Shouldn't you be at Babs's place?" Harley asks confusedly as she picks Alexis's shirt up.

"I left actually. I wanted to find where I belong. I don't like hiding myself. Harley are you listening to me?" Alexis asks as she sees Harley staring at her.

"Huh? Oh sorry. You might wanna put your top back on. You know before any other guys get an idea." Harley says as she hands Alexis her top.

"Uh-huh. But anyway I left. I didn't belong in a place I have to hide myself in. I can't be who I am. I lost my birth family because of being who I was but hiding who I was is even worse." Alexis says as she puts her top on.

"So is nearly getting raped." Harley says concernedly.

"Yeah..." Alexis says as she looks down.

"I'm sorry about your family. If it makes you feel better Ivy and I don't exactly got much family either. But you shouldn't hide yourself. This version of you really rocks!" Harley says as she smiles.

"Thanks Harley." Alexis says as she smiles at Harley.

"No problem. I do want to ask you something. You said you respected me back when we first met. Why? I mean I'm a villain. I can't have done anything good for you to be that way." Harley says.

"No but I've heard about you. You're not afraid to be who you are. You are honestly a lot of things I wish I could be in many ways. I respect and really like you for it. It's why I left. So I could find myself like you did." Alexis says.

"Wow. I didn't know you thought that about me. But I have to say I have been thinking a lot about you since that day. You're not like any citizen I ever met. I like that. A lot. And after what I just seen you do I like you even more." Harley says happily.

"Really?" Alexis asks in surprise.

"Yeah... So do you get into these situations a lot? With the guys I mean?" Harley asks as she smiles.

"Unfortunately. Don't men got any control over themselves?" Alexis asks.

"Nope. But most don't think with their heads anyway." Harley says as she and Alexis laugh.

"Good point. It actually reminds me of something else you did. You had the courage to leave Joker. Even after everything. It took me ages to leave the guy I was with and all because I had nowhere else to. I thought he'd support me but he was never any good for me." Alexis says as she looks down.

"Well he's an idiot and his loss. I like this version of you and ain't nothing gonna change my mind." Harley says proudly.

"You really do like me?" Alexis asks as she smiles.

"Yeah." Harley says.

"I like you too Harley. Just wish we could of gotten to know each other more." Alexis says as she smiles at Harley.

"Me too... Listen I'm not any good at this whole emotions or even dating thing because of the Joker. I am not a perfect person by any means. I don't even know what a good relationship looks like but I would really like to find out. If you are up for it I'd like to know you better and offer you a home and a family. I have my own place, you're free to come and leave and we can get to know each other. You could stay and my friends are pretty good people. Though some are a pain in the ass sometimes." Harley says as she looks at Alexis.

"You'd really do that for me?" Alexis asks in surprise.

"Sure. I trust you." Harley says.

"I'd like that very much Harley. Wanna maybe get a late night dinner together? We could talk more about you staring at my chest." Alexis says as Harley blushes.

"Oh heh. You noticed that huh?" Harley asks as she chuckles nervously causing Alexis to chuckle.

"You were fairly obvious but you blushing is a cute look so I'll let it slide... If you are willing to help me move my things to your place." Alexis says as she smiles.

"Deal. Now let's go get that dinner." Harley says as she and Alexis smile at each other as they begin walking together before holding hands.
