As he went back into the banquet hall, Deadshot found the table that Harley was at, and noticed that she had gotten plates for the both of them.
"What took you so long?"
"Nothing, just had to clear my head," replied Deadshot. "Thanks for serving me."
Harley smiled, and said, "No problem!"
While she continued to eat, Deadshot drank from his glass of wine.
Does every wedding have the same damn type of food?
"So, you lied to me..."
He looked over at Harley, and said, "What?"
"Yeah, when I asked if you'd ever been in love, but you told me no. You lied."
"What do you mean I... Oh..." Deadshot began to laugh. "Harley, if you think that I lied cause I was in love with you... then you're wrong."
Harley frowned. "No, I'm not."
"Sorry, doll face, but you kind of are. I didn't exactly love you at that point. We were just friends."
"But what about Zoe's mom?"
Deadshot said, "That was... something else entirely different... she doesn't count."
Then, as the music began to play, and various couples started to get up and dance, Deadshot looked at his girlfriend. "Harley?"
"Yeah?"
"I want you to know that-"
"Hey, you two!"
Why is this happening?!
Boomerang sat down at the other side of the table, setting down his own plate of food. "Jesus, I thought that bloody food line was never going to end."
"Well, good for you, sweetheart," smiled Harley. "You were saying, Floyd?"
But the assassin shook his head. "Later."
"Is this about the-"
"Harley, like I said, I want to say it at the right moment."
Deadshot then continued eating his food until Boomerang suddenly said, "Wait, are you two talking about the whole proposal thing?"
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Harley whacked her boyfriend on the back, and Deadshot mumbled, "Thanks... ugh... What did you just say?"
"Is this about y-" began Boomerang, but then, he saw the angry look on his friend's face. "I mean, uh, so how is the baby doing, Harley?"
She giggled, and said, "It's doing great, honey, and I am lovin' every second of it."
Oh, sure, like we aren't the ones suffering up here.
As Harley resumed eating, with all of the voices inside her head making arguments, Deadshot looked at Boomerang, and whispered, "What the hell, man?"
"What?"
"You almost ruined everything!"
"I'm sorry, I had no idea you were trying to ask her yet, buddy."
Deadshot sighed, and said, "Well, just be a little more careful next time."
As for Harley, the vocal battle in her mind continued.
"What else are we supposed to do in here, huh? It's not like we have our own damn espresso machine in here!"
"It would be nice if we did..."
"I know, right? That would make things a whole lot simpler!"
"Are you all even listening to yourselves right now?! We don't have any of that cause we don't even exist or even have some type of body spirit form! All that we are is-"
"The voices in my head," sang Harley, as she began to drink some wine.
"Exactly, so stop complaining, and find something else to do."
"Like what then, genius?"
"Oh, I know! We could all look at Deadshot!"
Harley looked over at her boyfriend, who continued to argue with Boomerang.
"Why should we do that? She does that all the time, it's sickening!"
"Oh, just quit it, I think it's sweet... but I really do wanna know what he's trying to tell us."
"Are you blind as hell, too? He's trying to-"
"Hey!" yelled the more reasonable voice. "Stop talking, or else I will make sure you shut up permanently."
"Oh, puh-lease, what power do you have exactly?"
"Try me."
For the second time in her life since falling into the chemical vat, Harley's mind was filled with complete silence.
"Uh-huh, I thought so... Harley, sweetie, just do us all a favor, and enjoy the party, okay?"
"Sure," thought Harley, and she got up to throw away her plate while Deadshot had gone over to talk to the newly wedded couple.
"Congrats, Soldier Boy," said Deadshot as he sat next to Rick, who smiled back at his friend.
"So, what was it you two were fighting about?" asked Harley, once she returned to her seat.
Boomerang, who wasn't paying much attention to her, muttered, "He got all pissed off cause he hasn't asked you to marry him yet."
"A-ha! See, I fuckin' told you!"
"Will you shut the hell up?! We didn't even hear what he said!"
"Huh?" said Harley.
Boomerang was about to repeat his answer when, suddenly, his own "little voice" started talking to him. Are you fucking insane, you prick? You almost told her that Shot was gonna propose!
"I said, er..."
Think, damn it, think!
He then began to laugh. "He was telling me about that one time I was wasted apparently, and I was saying that I was gonna marry Katana."
As Harley began to laugh, Boomerang let out a sigh of relief. That was a close one.
"You haven't told her yet?" said June, equally surprised as her new husband.
"I am telling you both, I have been trying so many damn times since I got the ring," explained Deadshot. "But right after I say only a few words, something happens that takes away the chance of me asking her."
Rick began to laugh while June punched him in the shoulder. "You shut up, okay? You took forever, too, if I remember correctly."
"But I didn't take that long, sweetheart."
June rolled her eyes, and looked at Deadshot. "Floyd, don't worry, I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"You'll see later tonight... but you will ask her tonight, I promise."
Rick just smirked as he thought, If not, then it'll probably be after the baby comes.
"Thanks, June," said Deadshot.
"Don't thank me yet," replied June. "Now, come on, sweetheart, I want to dance."
Listening to the music that was playing, Deadshot raised an eyebrow. "Seriously, June? This song?"
"Oh, don't start with me, Floyd, I already argued with Rick about it."
"Well, then, you'll see that he probably agrees with me," replied Rick.
Not wanting to cause any drama, Deadshot just chuckled, and said, "Sorry, June, I take it back... enjoy your wedding."
But after going back to his own seat, Harley suddenly said, "Come on, Shot, I wanna dance!"
"Harley, come on, not to this song, okay?"
She began to pout. "Come on, this song isn't so bad once you get used to it."
"I doubt it," said Deadshot, as well as Boomerang, who nodded in agreement with him.
Harley gritted her teeth, and walked over to her boyfriend, looking at him in the eyes. "Shot, dance with me now."
Boomerang chuckled, and muttered, "She's got you all whipped up, mate."
Deadshot gave him a death glare, which made Boomerang quietly return to his food, and went back to Harley, who was waiting for him to answer.
"Okay, fine..."
She squealed with happiness, and grabbed him by the hand as they went over to the dance floor, while Boomerang drank some more wine.
"She does have a point, though..."
Once they were with the other dancing couples, Deadshot put one of his arms around Harley's waist, and they started to slow-dance.
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate,
All through the night
"See? This song's perfect to dance, too," said Harley, giving him a sweet smile.
As he looked back at Harley, Deadshot found himself being mesmerized by her beauty.
"Have I told you yet how beautiful you look in that dress?"
Harley felt herself blush as she replied, "No, but thanks for telling me... you ain't so bad yourself, handsome."
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I will do anything,
Girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
"I know you don't like talking about this," said Rick. "But I always used to be afraid that we wouldn't ever get to this moment in our lives."
June sighed, and nodded her head. "I know... me too... but that's all in the past... and now we can look to a better and brighter future."
"In six more months," said Rick, smiling, as he looked at her somewhat expanded stomach.
June smiled back, and the two of them shared a kiss.
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I can do
"Shot?"
"Yeah?"
"You never told me what happened that night at Axis Chemicals... how I got saved... and what happened with Puddin..."
Deadshot replied, "Oh, that... uh, well... I didn't think it would matter, Harley. I was just glad that you and our child were safe."
"But what happened to Mister J?"
The assassin sighed, and said, "I promise that I'll tell you when the time is right, doll face, but I don't want to talk about it right now at our friend's wedding. All right?"
Harley just closed her eyes, and laid her head against him. "Okay, Shot..."
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
"Shot?"
"What?"
Harley said, in a nervous tone, "Remember you said that... you know... you weren't going to raise a child in a prison?"
Oh, crap.
"Well... people change their minds, Harley... we'll find a way to make it work. I love our child as much as you do."
She kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Thanks, Shot."
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
After finishing another glass of wine, Boomerang began to pour himself some more.
"Better take it easy there, pal."
He turned to the side, and saw a young man sitting in one of the chairs at the table.
"I'll be fine, kid, I ain't gonna embarrass my friend like that."
The young man replied, "I certainly hope not. See you around, pal."
As he got up to walk away, Boomerang drank some more wine. Why did he seem familiar? Eh, must be this wine...
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
As the song began to end, Rick asked, "So, sweetheart, what's next?"
June looked up at him, and gave him a grin. "Let's do something fun..."
He chuckled, and looked over at the DJ, mouthing a few words at him.
"Okay, Harley, let's..." began Deadshot, but when the next song began to play, he immediately shook his head when he noticed Harley's growing excitement.
"Nah, nuh-uh, no way, I am not dancing to this shit."
Harley rolled her eyes, and said, "Shot, come on, it's gonna be fun!"
"Harley, this is something that my daughter listens to!"
"And I'm sure you would have agreed to dance with her if she had asked you, right?"
Deadshot groaned, but then, Harley began to kiss him passionately.
"You know I hate it when you try to convince me like that."
"Sure you do, honey... so will you keep dancing with me, please?"
Knowing that there was no way out of this, Deadshot sighed, and said, "All right, fine..."
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone
"You know when I realized that you liked me?"
Shot chuckled, and asked, "When was it?"
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop
"That night we came back from Midway City, I was in my cell, and I counted all of the bars, saying 'he likes me, he hates me', until I counted the last one."
"And what did you say when that happened?"
"I would've thought it was obvious."
Deadshot laughed, and said, "When it comes to us, doll face, nothing is ever that obvious."
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
Don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feeling
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
(I can't stop the feeling)
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Wanna see you move your body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
Once the dancing was over, and all of the guests were sitting at their tables, Rick and June went up to the sta
"First of all, I want to thank everyone for coming here tonight," said Rick. "We couldn't be any more grateful for what you people have done for us.
"Second, before me and my wife say anything else, I think it's time for some toasts."
Deadshot began to chuckle, wondering who would be the first person.
"Floyd? What about you?"
He looked over at June, confused and a little bit annoyed, but when she gave him a quick wink, he realized what was really going on.
"Oh, uh, sure..."
Harley was surprised as he went over to the stage, wondering what he was going to say.
Once Deadshot was at the stage, and handed the microphone by June, he said, "Well, first of all, congrats to these two for tying the knot. I'm sure everyone here can agree that we are all happy for you."
Almost everyone clapped, and Deadshot continued.
"When it comes to deciding on who you want to spend the rest of your life with,
it isn't exactly an easy choice.
"I'm sure Rick knew exactly what he was gonna do after he and June started a relationship. But as for me... I've actually waited a long time for a moment like this... so, Harley, if you could join me?"
Everyone looked at Harley, who quietly went over to join Deadshot, a look of confusion on her face.
She looked over at June, who gave her a wink, and then, at Deadshot.
"Whether you act like Harley Quinn or Harleen Quinzel, doll face, you're the love of my life..."
Then, she saw him get down on one knee, and Harley immediately realized what was going on, now telling herself not to cry.
He actually loves me.
"Well, duh, any one of us could have told you that," said the more reasonable voice in her head.
But why didn't you?
"Cause it wouldn't have been that special if we did. Now, I believe you have an answer to give him?
Harley returned back to reality just in time to hear Deadshot ask the question that she had never thought she'd hear in a million years.
"Will you marry me?"
She laid her head against his, and before she gave him a kiss, she held onto the microphone, and said the most obvious answer.
"Yes..."
