I'm finally back, well let me know about what you think of this one. And don't worry I do plan on having the Cullen's come back soon.
Oh and I left a little tidbit with Charlie in there, let me know what you think of it. If I should continue on with what I hinted at with him or just leave in alone
Even though I've been absent for a while please show me some love and let me know what you think! I finally have my creative juices flowing for this and maybe for a few more stories if anyone is interested.
Review and enjoy!
They were all walking along a road when the sound of breaking glass caught everyone's attention. Everyone looked over to see Harley had smashed a window in. "Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people!" Flag shouted in exasperation.
Harley walked over and rolled her eyes. "We're bad guys, it's what we do."
Before Flag could shout anything else at her, Baby skipped over to him and grabbed his hand. He looked over at her in shock and asked, "What the hell do you think you are doing."
Baby just smiled and squeezed his hand. Flag looked at her in confusion, before looking over at Harley, wondering if she was going to try and gut him. She was staring at Baby with a look on her face that he didn't quiet recognize. "Baby, what are you doing?"
Baby just smiled back at Harley and said, "Making friends! Aren't you happy for me?" Before she skipped off and dragged Flag with her.
When they were a safe distance in front of the group Harley swore and pinched her nose. "Jealous your girl is running off?" Boomerang asked with a smirk.
If looks could kill the one that Harley shot him would have dropped him and burned his body. "No! Baby gets attached really easy. She is always looking for friends in the wrong places. She's gonna get hurt."
Chato clapped Harley on the shoulder. "Well maybe this will be different. Your girl has a way about her you never know." Harley shrugged but it didn't stop the bad feeling she had that her Baby was going to get hurt someway, somehow.
At the front of the group Baby was still skipping at dragging Flag with her and for the life of him, he couldn't understand why he just didn't break her hold. He could very easily do it. "You know sometimes I think you forget that we are human." The words come from Baby in startling clarity. "We may have done bad things or still do bad things but we are still human. We have been all hurt in many different ways that you could never imagine. And now here you are leading us to probably die. We are scared. It's not fair for you to be so harsh with us when all we are is trying to help. Who cares if it's for selfish reasons. You seem to think that you are the only one with something to lose, the only one with someone gone. What you never stop to think, is that we didn't just spring from the ground on our own with no attachments to anyone. I know Deadshot has a daughter, do you really think he's going to let the world end with her still in it? Do you really think he's not scared he's going to fail? We all have family in some shape somewhere. We all have parents." Baby stopped here and squeezed his hand tighter. "And whether you like to admit it or not we all have people we love. So next time you look at us and think that we all don't care or that we deserve the death that is coming to us, well maybe think of that as well."
Flag stared at the woman holding his hand in shock. He had never heard her speak so clearly before, so steadily. And her words had a deep impact on him. He was leading a bunch of people to their deaths and it was easier to think of them as monsters than humans. This little slip of a girl just calmly slapped him in the face verbally without even being mean about it. Thinking over her words he felt a painful clang when he remembered Baby still had a loving father out there, someone she clearly thought of when she was speaking to him. No matter that he couldn't understand why, she also had someone she loved out there and someone she loved in the group with her. She was right. He wasn't the only person with someone on the line. "You know it's easier to think of you all as monsters." He started quietly. "It's easier to think about that every time I think about the chance of survival. It's always been that way. When I was sent out in the military on missions that's what I would think then too. That I'm ending monsters. It's easier that way. To not think about all that stuff. But you are right. I'm not the only one with someone to loose."
They were both quiet for a moment the moment of clarity that had come over Baby faded as the distractions of her mind and her powers came back. She giggled and went on skipping, and Flag sighed in disappointment before he shook it off. It wasn't her fault that she was this way. She toed the line of being here and being lost to her visions if he remembered correctly. So he shook off his disappointment and allowed his growing affection for the girl to rise. He smiled at her as she giggled and skipped beside him. "You remind me of my dad," Baby said unexpectedly. "Both struggling with right and wrong. But it's not all black and white there's gray too. I'm glad that my dad learned that. I bet you will too." She bumped her shoulder with his. "I like you. You are my friend now."
He stared at her before smiling while mentally filing away the information about her father. Maybe he had more contact with his daughter then he lead the world to believe.
They came to the building that their mark was in and he stopped while his SEAL team came over to discuss entry and extraction. They stared at the girl attached to his hand but she just stood there and hummed to herself, so they ignored her and started to plan.
Flag raised a walkie and said, "Waller, we're about to enter the building. Get that chopper ready."
Deadshot had walked over unnoticed and made his presence known by saying, "What do you say we get this over with?" And continued walking.
"What the hell Deadshot! Fall back" Deadshot continued walked and broke the glass door, Flag rushed after him Baby still attached to his hand, "You mind if we tag along?" He asked, gun aimed with one hand, surveilling the area as best as he could. He didn't notice when Baby let go of his hand to go stand with Harley.
The area seemed to be empty of all people, Boomerang pointed out as they seen the cameras. Everyone's head turned when they heard the ding of an elevator and looked and seen Harley and Baby riding up. "Damn it!" Flag swore as everyone rushed for the stairs after the girls.
While in the elevator, Baby lovingly leaned against Harley and whispered, "I like him, he's my friend."
"Good for you Baby." Harley whispered back while petting her hair hoping her baby wouldn't get hurt.
Harley felt a vibration in her pocket and pulled out the phone, she squealed in happiness and showed Baby the message. I am close be ready. Was all it said, both Baby and Harley knew who it was. They looked at each other in excitement, knowing that Mr J was close. "He can protect all my new friends." Baby whispered.
Harley smiled at her and kissed her. "That's right." What Baby wanted Baby got.
Just then one of those nasty monsters fell down from the ceiling and started choking Harley. She pushed it away and Baby shot it. Harley sighed and went to the glass wall and looked at her reflection checking her pigtails while Baby giggled at her. Harley's eyes widened as she noticed two more monsters coming right at them. They flung themselves at the glass elevator and broke in. Harley and Baby started attacking right away. Moving around the small space like two deadly dancers. At one point flipping over the monsters and then with a swing of Harley's bat and Baby's mallet the things fell to the ground dead. Just as the elevator door opened to show the group getting ready to charge and help the girls.
Harley looked at them all as she stepped out of the elevator, helping Baby over the bodies. "Hey guys! Well come on let's go!" Everyone just stared at the two of them in shock before scrambling to catch up to the girls.
They all stealthily entered an office type room and were looking around when Flag suddenly had them stop. In his ear piece Waller said, "They're all around you."
Everyone looked around as Deadshot said, "I don't like this." Flag agreed with him, something wasn't right.
Harley looked over at Deadshot and watched him put on his mask. "Pussy." She smirked smugly at him.
"I will knock your ass out, I do not care that you're a girl!" Deadshot threatened.
"Leave him alone Harley." Baby whispered.
"Thanks Baby."
Baby smiled at him. "You're my friend."
Harley sighed. "You know what that means? You can't die because then it would hurt Baby and I will bring you back to kill you again." She muttered at Deadshot.
He nodded. "I care for her too." Harley smiled, glad that her Baby had these people to protect her.
A bunch of monsters descend from the ceiling and the room is thrown into chaos. Shouting, and gunshots everywhere. Harley lost track of Baby and could only hope that she was okay, she didn't have time time to worry about anything else.
Deadshot suddenly shouted, "They're after Flag again!"
Baby looked over from where she was fighting and shouted, "No!" With a few acrobatic flips and leaps she was next to him and in a burst of power made all the monsters explode.
"Circle up! Get around him!" Deadshot yelled as Baby helped him to his feet.
"Let me fight!" Flag shouted.
Baby grabbed onto his arm and snuggled in. "No."
"You die! We die!" Deadshot shouted at the same time.
Baby opened her eyes to see Chato staring at the chaos with sadness. They locked eyes and she smiled at him. Showing him that it was okay.
The rest of the group took care of the monsters and Baby let go of Flag to skip over to Chato. She hugged him and kissed his cheek. "It's okay. I know why you don't fight." He hugged her back and buried his face in her hair, holding back tears. Wondering why this small little girl could make him feel this way. Glad that she had come into his life. Nothing would hurt her. If the time came to it he would protect her with everything he had.
Flag shouted at them to move out and they left the room with caution. Gunfire started right back up again. Baby watched as Boomerang dropped to the floor and Harley ducked behind a wall. "Baby!" Harley screamed at her knowing that they would be useless in a fight like this. She started to make her way to Harley when Deadshot turned at started yelling at Chato. "Where you been homie?!" He backed him against the wall.
"This isn't my fight!" Chato yelled back.
"You know what? You don't stand for shit! You ain't about shit!" Deadshot yelled at him.
"Don't stop." Baby said but was ignored by the two men.
"Don't touch me man!" Chato warned.
"What are you gonna do!"
"Leave him alone!" Baby yelled not liking where this was going.
"Baby!" Harley screamed again, fearing for her lover. "Get over here!"
Then it happened in slow motion. The rail that Baby was holding onto, broke. With a scream, she fell back managing to hang onto the very end of a pole sticking out from the concrete a few feet down from where she was standing.
"Baby!" Harley screamed her heart stopping in her chest. "No, no, no, no!" She was still screaming as she scrambled over to where her Baby fell, crying when she seen her dangling there, holding on for dear life. "Baby!" Harley screamed again and reached down to try and get her.
"Harley!" Baby yelled on seeing her lover. She tried to reach up but the distance was too great. Not to mention the gunfire. Tears started falling from her eyes. She would never get to see Mr J or Harley again. Some of the pole pulled free from the concrete and she fell down some more cries falling from her lips. "Harley! Harley! I love you!" Baby screamed. Needing for those to be the last words she said to her.
Harley could hardly see she was crying so hard. "NO Baby! It's gonna be fine!" When Baby fell a little bit more she screamed again and when Baby told her she loved her, Harley knew that Baby would die if something didn't happen soon. "I love you too Baby! It's gonna be fine!"
Harley looked back at the men behind her. "DO SOMETHING!" She screamed at them. "I can't reach her. The gunfire. Please! She can't die."
Chato said, "She's not dying. I'll show you something!" He ripped off his coat and with a yell he unleashed a force of fire so big, everyone stopped and stared in awe at him. His flames shot across the building and killed every monster in its path. When he stopped it was only silent for a minute before he rushed to where Harley was and slide to his knees. He looked over the edge and his heart stopped when he seen Baby dangling there. "Harley, I'm gonna grab your feet and lower you down. She's too far to reach with just one person. Grab her and I'll get you back up."
Harley wiped her face and nodded. "We're coming Baby!" Chato slowly lowered her over the edge bracing himself and was surprised when he was joined by Deadshot and Flag.
Baby watched as Harley came nearer to her. "Now Baby I'm gonna need to to swing yourself up to me. Remember when we play? Just like that okay? Only look at me, I'll catch you." Harley was saying.
Baby smiled. "You always do." And then she swung herself up into Harley's arms.
"I got her!" Harley shouted and they were slowly lifted back up onto the landing. When they were safely on the landing Baby curled herself into Harley's arms. "I thought that was it!" She whispered.
Harley just shushed her. Chato came over and crouched next to the girls. He laid his hand on Baby's head and smiled at her. Harley leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for coming through."
He smiled at them and stood back up. Deadshot looked over at him and said, "I was just trying to get you there." Chato waved him off and they stood in silence for a moment before they had to move on again.
When they finally get to the room the mark is in Flag has them wait outside as he goes in. "Oh, he's embarrassed by us!" Harley coos at him. Flag just looks at her and rolls his eyes and disappears into the room. A few minutes pass before Deadshot wanders into the room as well.
Baby looked at Harley and said, "I don't have a good feeling about this."
Harley pulled her close and they both looked at the door as a pissed off Deadshot came out followed by Flag who was also followed by... Waller.
Harley tightened her arm around Baby in anger. "No way!" She muttered.
Flag just sighed and said, "Let's go home." Not looking at any of them.
Boomerang spoke up then, "Yeah, let's go home. That sounds good. You guys wanna go home or you wanna go back to prison?"
Harley stiffened. "We aren't going back to prison." She said with a hard voice.
Baby teared up at the thought of being away from Harley again of not seeing Mr J. "I don't want to go back. I don't like it." She whimpered.
Her small voice hit each of them in the chest. All of them knowing, from the things she has said, what happened to her in jail.
"What I'm sayin, is we kill both of them now before they kill us." Boomerang continued.
Baby whimpered again, not wanting Flag to die. Katana went to lunge at them but Waller held her back, "I got this." She stared at each of them, her glare lading on Baby and staying there. Much to Harley's rage. "You all made it this far." She lifted the device that held the commands to kill them with the nanite explosive. "Don't get high-spirited on me and ruin a good thing." Her gaze had moved around before landing on Baby again and everyone could see her finger poised over Baby's picture. KC growled in rage and everyone else tensed.
"You threatening my Baby!" Harley almost screamed at her in rage, taking a step towards her before freezing as her finger twitched.
"It's okay Harley." Baby whispered, twining their hands together to try and calm her down.
Waller pushed passed everyone and knocked into Baby, sending her to the ground, and continued on. Flag stopped to help her up with Harley. "I'm sorry." He whispered to Baby as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then he continued on to the roof, leaving the rest of them to follow.
"I'm going to enjoy killing her." Harley said.
Baby just sniffed and followed silently. They got to the roof and stared at the helicopter hovering next to the building. One of the SEALS kept on trying to reach it but there was no answer, "Boss they aren't answering."
"The bird's been jacked!" Flag muttered. He then shouted, "light it up!"
The SEALS started shooting at the helicopter when it swung around and the back opened and shots came out. Baby seen the man at the machine gun first, "Frosty!" She screamed before being forced by Deadshot to take cover. Harley was crouching there as well and they listened to the sounds of gunfire before noticing Deadshot staring that their necks in shock. "What do I gotta hickey or something?" Harley asked touching her neck before looking at Baby's in shock. Her nanite was glowing. Harley's pocket vibrated and she pulled out a phone to see now written on the screen. She showed Baby who giggled in excitement.
Baby stood up with Harley and walked out to face the copter ignoring the people shouting their names. Baby got tears in her eyes as she seen Mr J standing there. He spotted them and kicked out a rope for them. Baby heard Waller yelling for them to die but someone else said their nanite's had been disabled. Baby grinned at Harley and took off running with her. Harley jumped first and caught Baby as she jumped. They dangled on the rope and giggled at the people on the roof. Baby seen Deadshot aiming his gun their way but not at them and whispered. "Pretend to die!" Harley giggled and agreed.
When the shot rang out they both went limp for a second before perking back up and giggling before beginning to climb the rope. Mr J reached down and pulled Harley in and they both reached for Baby. "Puddin'!" Harley squealed before attacking Mr J with her mouth. He pulled away only to pull Baby in and slam his mouth on hers. Baby groaned and eagerly opened her mouth for his tongue. Crushed between Harley and Mr J, where she belonged. "Puddin' did you get all dressed up for us!?"
Mr J growled and brought both of them even closer. "You know I'd do anything for you." He leaned his head closer and whispered, "By the way I've got some grape soda on ice and a bear skin rug waiting."
Harley grinned please while Baby flushed in pleasure. "Yeah?"
Their moment was ruined by Frost. "Boss, we got a problem." Just as beeping started and an explosion hit the front of the copter.
The girls looked at the front and seen all the fire then looked back at the Joker. "This bird is baked." He growled out.
"No." Baby whimpered.
He pulled them close and looked at the building they were over. "It's just us now."
The girls smiled at him and were getting ready to jump when another explosion rocked the copter and Baby slipped out of their hands, falling backwards almost in slow motion. Harley was screaming out as the Joker was desperately trying to reach Baby. She landed on the building and quickly tucked and rolled and ran to the edge, desperately watching as the copter went out of control and crashed. Tears falling as it went up in flames. "No." She whispered in despair before falling to her knees and screamed out a sound of pure anguish as things around her started to explode. Her scream ended just as it started to rain. Baby looked out not seeing anything as her world ended around her.
