Dong! Dong! Dong!

Deadshot opened his eyes, and noticed that he wasn't tied up anymore.

Instead, he was in some type of cathedral.

"How you feeling now, Floyd?" asked the Joker.

Spitting out a few drops of blood from his mouth, Deadshot said, "Peachy... Why did you bring me here, Clown Boy?"

"Cause I still have a plan for you, friend," chuckled the Joker. "Game isn't over yet."

##############

On the way back to Gotham, Rick and Boomerang were sitting next to each other, while Harley sat with June, who was still giving certain looks at her.

"What, I got a hickey or something?" said Harley, confused.

June asked, "Did you and Floyd... you know..."

She whistled a little tune, and Harley felt herself blush. "Why you asking?"

"Because I can see it in you," replied June. "Your skin is just... glowing... your eyes are sparkling... your, um, things seem-"

"All right, Doc, I get it," said Harley. "You don't think I got... you know..."

June let out a small laugh. "No, trust me, you're not pregnant, Harley... for now..."

Harley continued to blush, while June asked, in a lower tone, "How was he?"

"How'd it go with Flag?" asked Harley, raising an eyebrow. "You dance like I showed you?"

June began to blush now, but said, "I asked first, Quinn."

Dann it, thought Harley, who turned her head a few times, and whispered the answer into June's ear.

After she finished, and pulled back, June mouthed the word "wow" and Harley nodded her head.

"Now, spill it, Doc," replied Harley.

Meanwhile...

"So, what do you say?"

Rick rolled his eyes. "I ain't bringing Katana over here just so you can take her out to dinner."

"At least give me her number, pal, come on," pleaded Boomerang.

"No," replied Rick.

"You're gonna lose," growled Deadshot, as the Joker continued to prepare him for the next step in his plan.

"Let's agree to disagree," replied Joker.

The assassin tried to keep himself in control, but as he tried, the Joker began to laugh.

"You can't fight it, Floyd..."

Deadshot swung his fist, connecting with the Joker's jaw.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Joker gave Floyd a sly grin. "You'll fit in just fine!"

#################

"Okay, so, how we gonna find this guy?" asked Boomerang, taking a few looks at Harley.

The four of them were now walking down the streets of Gotham City.

"I don't know why you're looking at me, pal," replied Harley. "I left my phone back at the hotel."

"Relax, guys," said Flag. "I found a guy that showed us the way."

From his hiding spot, Batman (in the Batmobile) watched as Flag led the others to where the Joker was at.

"Are you sure about this, Master Wayne? I thought you didn't approve of these people."

"I don't, Alfred," replied the vigilante. "But as long as I can capture that clown, I don't mind working together."

"Or maybe you think he can lead you to Miss Kyle?"

As he drove off, Batman said, "We'll see..."

################

"How'd it go?" asked Jonny.

The Joker smiled, and said, "All according to plan."

As he walked away, Jonny asked, "Um, Boss, what if Harley... you know... chooses him instead of you?"

The Joker laughed, and said, "If I can't have her, then no one can."

###############

As they approached Gotham Cathedral, Flag said, "All right, guys, here's the plan, we sneak in-"

"Nah, not gonna work," said Boomerang as he walked up to the building.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a sword stopped him in his tracks. "Wait a sec... I know that sword!"

"Glad you could make it," said Rick, giving his friend a smile.

Katana nodded her head in response, but still kept her sword close to Boomerang's neck.

"Well, then, now we're just missing-"

Boom!

Everyone watched as a nearby sewer cover popped open, and water shot out of it.

"Yep, everyone's all here... I mean, except for Sniper Boy."

"Ooh, hiya, beautiful," said Harley, giving a wave.

"What's up?" Killer Croc said.

Then, he looked over at June. "She gonna be that witch again?"

"Hell no," said Rick. "She can defend herself by just being her."

"Really?" said Boomerang, as Katana put her sword away, and he walked towards June. "Care to practice with me, sweetheart?"

"Sure," replied June, who quickly aimed a gun at his head. "Wanna keep going?"

Harley whistled, and said, "Wow, Flag... I like how you teach."

"Uh... thanks..." said Rick. "Ok, so as I was saying-"

Boom!

Everyone turned to see Boomerang kick the doors open. "Hey, yo, you all coming or what?"

"Want me to eat him?" asked Croc.

Rick looked at him with surprise. "I thought you'd rather die than do that."

"We all got to make sacrifices one day."

A moment later, they were all inside the building, joining Boomerang, who asked, "How many guys work for your boyfriend, Harley?"

He was referring to the large amount of armed and dangerous thugs that were a few feet away.

"You go look for Shot," said Flag. "We'll take care of these assholes."

She nodded her head, and went around the other way, avoiding her boyfriend's thugs.

Don't worry, Shot, I'll find you.

As for the others, Boomerang grinned as he said, "All right, Flag, let's turn this place into a ballroom blitz."

"All right, see now you're speaking my language, man!"

################

When Deadshot opened his eyes, he was feeling... like... well, he felt different.

But one thing he knew for sure was that, tonight, Harley Quinn was about to die.

###############

"Well, well, well... This makes things interesting," said the Joker.

As he began to leave the room, Jonny asked, "What is it?"

"There's a bat in my belfry," replied the Joker. "And I think it might be time for me to let the cat out of the bag."

################

"Okay, New Voice," whispered Harley as she went up the steps. "If you're there, I could use your help."

Yes, of course, I'm here, Harley, but what did I tell you?

"Yeah, yeah, my own life," said Harley. "But this is a really complicated situation that I am dealing with."

On whether to choose between Deadshot or Puddin?

Harley nodded her head. "I don't know who I want to choose."

I would help if I could, sweetheart, but this is just the one time where you have to make your own decisions.

"Great, thanks," mumbled Harley, in a sarcastic tone.

Eventually, she reached the top of the building, where the bells were located at, and so, she began calling out for Deadshot.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

"Shot?" yelled Harley. "You up here?"

Boom!

Stepping out of the shadows, Deadshot (wearing his red-and-black suit, white mask, and his red-eye device) put his pistol back in one of his holsters.

"That answer your question, doll face?"
