It was like Christmas! Heheheheheheh! Joker was smiling at his own genius as he was led to their session. He had proven it was easy to do whatever he wanted to do with her. Joker had got some minor personal details, pissed her off AMAZINGLY with the fact he knew them AND just to put the cherry on the cake he had gotten her moved!

Away from her little apartment to the rich and powerful...why Arkham chose to fork out so much for a little blonde princess was even crazy to the Joker. However it was closer to Arkham, not in a technical sense. To drive it you had to do a full U-turn around Gotham but to swim...well it was right across the river.

Joker thought his Harley Quinn was actually...an interesting character. Harley had a very broken home life, abusive daddy till he fucked the babysitter then ran away, mummy who was happier with her vodka than her daughter, abusive boyfriend who beat her throughout college then last but not least Harley herself. A cutting, crying, bulimic, friendless, slut. It was going to be a piece of cake pushing her over the edge, to make her entirely his own. Hmmm...He was going to have to beat those bad traits out of her, he couldn't afford his Harley being ill and crying all the time when she was ready for him.

She was going to be a mess, completely insane but his.

Even the Joker was surprised she had agreed to still have him. To be honest with himself it wouldn't have mattered either way, he would still see her. He had already hooked her, he could see it in her eyes that she was desperate for his secrets. Joker occasionally gave her stories of some of the things he's done on a crazy weekend or two, sometimes made up, sometimes truthful...depends how much he liked her at the time.

Ooh! Joker was sat in her familiar room, he was particularly excited because after two weeks of over watched sessions, she was allowed to have private sessions with him again to see if Harley could get any progress with him. The Joker stepped into her room with the guard right behind him, he was smiling from ear to ear. But when he saw her, the smile fell short.

Harley's face was dirty, tears were dried on her cheeks, her eyes were red and puffy. But the thing that caught his attention was the black eye blooming from her right eye. She had TRIED to cover it with make up but Joker knew. He froze inside, trying to calculate some explanation before he was going to flip. He however couldn't find one. The guard behind him felt him stiffen, he looked round to see .

"You alright miss? Want me to get someone?" He was trying to sound as calm as possible.

The guard could see she was upset and if THAT idiot could then it was obvious she had been hurt.

She looked up, trying to smile "No thank you, I'm fine. I simply received some sad about a close friend of mine"

Harley gave a weak smile. The guard nodded towards her eye "Miss, Im sorry to pry but are you sure you don't need anyone to...look at that?"

Joker was getting truely pissed now, even Harley could hear him grinding his teeth. She shook her head

"No thank you. I was playing baseball with my friends yesterday, stupid accident with the bat! Clumsy me!"

Harley's laugh wasn't very convincing and she knew it, she just kept smiling and waited for the guard to leave.

The guard sensed defeat "Well okay miss... you know the drill, want me to stay or leave?" "

"You are fine to leave us today, thank you" She continued to smile.

After the Joker was chained up and secure, the guard left.

Then they were once again, after a long time, alone. The Joker was still rigid. Harley and him simply stared at each other.

It was unnerving, Harley let out a small cough and tried to begin their session.

"How are you today Mr. J?"

The Joker closed his eyes, breathed through his nose and put his fingers to the bridge of his nose. Harley tried again "Mr. J?"

Joker opened his eyes "What happened?"

Harley avoided eye contact "What do you me-"

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" The Joker was quickly losing his, already limited, patience. His fists were clenched and he was shouting at her, she was pale and he was red. Harley sighed, looked down at her lap then up again, she was trembling.

"My...ex boyfriend Jack came to see me yesterday, for the rest of his stuff and we kinda.. had a fight." Joker didn't move, he continued staring at her "So he hit you?"

"Yeah." Harley buried her face in her hands, she was weeping "Wh-why do I let him do this t-to me? I'm a g-g-good person and I don't deserve to be t-treated like that, he's such a jerk!"

Her voice kept breaking and she was hiccuping in the middle of her sentences. She knew this was unprofessional and inappropriate but in that moment she didn't care. Joker stared at her, not caring for the rest of the details...Jack was now a deadman walking.

Joker patted the little space next to him with his chained hand. Harley looked at the seat for a moment, then at the Joker and then shakily got up and sat down next to him. He leant in close to her, Harley wiped her eyes with the hem of her jumper. Mr.J then very carefully brushed the hair out of the way of her left ear, came close enough so his lips were barely touching her skin and comforted her.

"Harley, Harley, Harley. Common, we both know you're better than this, crying over a guy who even dared touch you. Who would ever treat you this way?"

Harley looked out the corner of her eye "My mom, my dad and my teacher. Everyone always has. I'm nothing."

This was perfect, Joker realised this was the moment he had been waiting for. To start making Harleen his. "What did they do to you Harley?" He asked, barely above a whisper.

For the next hour, Harley Quinzel told the Clown Prince of Crime the tragic story of her life. The beatings, the abuse, the alcoholic mother and the never-there father, how her high school teacher stole her virginity, the way her boyfriend hit her when she made his coffee wrong. She loved how he sat there, never interrupting, he was so interested, nodding and listening to every word. He kept his hand on top of hers, she always felt the warmth.

Harley told him how she had never been and probably wasn't ever going to be taken seriously as a Doctor.

"They all think I'm a Joke!" Harley exclaimed throwing her hands up for emphasis.

Joker grinned at her, raised his eyebrow "Y'know, I happen to like jokes?"

Harley blushed then giggled like she was 15 again "Oh stop it!"

"Hmm...well I think you like it too much for me to stop babycake"' He winked, making her blush spread to her throat. Joker was bored of this whole charade and her tragic little life... but he was excited at how he could make her blush like that, make her feel the way she blatantly does.

Joker could see his plan coming together. She was looking at him with desire, to say he was smug was an understatement.

He came back to the moment as Harley sighed "The session is just about over"

Oh she did look very disappointing indeed, the Joker wanted to burst out laughing. But instead he bent his head down slightly looking at his chains, he whispered

"Today's been great, I'm glad you could share with me Harley"

Harley didn't even correct him, she smiled "Thank you so much for listening to me Mr. J"

Joker lifted his head up and when he did, Harley moved forward.

"Don't worry, we have another session on monday. I'll come see you before then in the morning." she assured him

"Yes I know but there is a full weekend in between" Joker frowned making Harley giggle slightly.

Okay, thought Joker, time to do the full shebang

"Im going to miss you, so much."

He turned slightly so he could see her reaction, at first her eyes opened really wide, then she blushed.

"Im going to miss you too"

Hahahaha! She was crazy! His doctor was crazier than he was! His thought process stopped short when Harley leant in so they were nose to nose.

"Monday" Then she kissed him.

It was...sweet, taste wise. From the jokers behalf he thought she tasted of cotton candy. It wasn't bad though. Harley kissed him as hard as she could, the Joker sort of just sat there, but he was kissing her wasn't he? Not killing her.

The kiss ended, they smiled at each other and then he was gone.

All Harley could do was wait for Monday.

All the Joker could do was laugh to himself, he was better than he thought!
