"Nobody messes with my puddin'!"

The Joker's eyes widened to their maximum when seeing his good old doctor, Harleen Quinzel, breathing heavily while holding tightly a huge cartoonish hammer, almost as big as her. Her once perfectly groomed blond hair now covered her face, and her once formal clothes were dirty with spots of blood. Oh, how beautiful she was…that insane look in her pretty baby blue eyes was priceless. The Joker gave a large grin while opening his arms wide. "Harley! Long time no see!" Once those words came out from his mouth, the once intimidating and aggressive woman was gone.

Both of her blue eyes widened and became all watery. Was she about to cry…? "Mr. Jay!!" She cried while letting her weapon fall on the floor, and wrapping her arms around the Joker's neck, making his back hit the pink car. The green haired man twitched his nose while she cried and sobbed, making him feel her tears running down his neck…even the Joker knew when someone was being a little…exaggerated. He was unsure if he should hug her back or just slap some sense into her. But his green eyes spotted the unconscious Bat, lying on the floor, and he couldn't help but to give a huge grin and put his arms around the crying doctor. "There, there, kiddo…Everything's alright."

The blond woman looked up at the Joker, her once wonderful make-up running across her face. "I…I was attacked, and…and then you weren't in your cell an-and…I followed the pre-pretty car and…" The woman kept on sobbing in the middle of her sentences. The Joker rolled his eyes while she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. Was he the one to blame for these over-reactions? Probably…

…Meanwhile, on the other side of the long and dark road, sat Poison Ivy. Her green eyes were slightly narrowed while looking at the strange woman…she was one of Arkham's Doctors…shouldn't she be dead? By the looks of it, she was friends with the clown. And that could only mean more trouble. A small moan came from her left, but Pamela didn't move a muscle. The Penguin slowly sat up rubbing his forehead with the end of his fat fingers. "Ooh…What happened…?" His top hat was lying next to him, making his bald and pale head completely visible.

Before Pamela could say anything to him, he widened his eyes and looked at her with enthusiasm. "Did we win?!" Ivy only narrowed her eyes more before answering in a heavy and furious tone. "You could say that." The two characters near the unconscious Batman seemed to ignore them. The Penguin pointed at the blond woman while showing a small frown. "Who is that?" He asked, his breath smelling like fish. Pamela seemed to growl before standing up. "A dead woman." The short man titled his head while looking at the redhead and quickly understood they were cuffed to each other when Ivy pulled her wrist up, making him quickly get up.

"OY! Clown man!"

The Joker's smile seemed to almost touch his ears when he gazed at Pamela who had one of her hands resting on her hip. Ah, pretty Pam. Her beautiful face was now staring at him full of anger. "Just try to find something to free us from these!" Pamela shouted while raising her arm up high, forcing Penguin to get on the tip of his toes. Harleen blinked her eyes a couple of times before peeking over her shoulder, to see who was calling her pumpkin.

It was then that her arms quickly unwrapped Joker's neck. They only realized where she'd gone when she punched Poison Ivy across the face, making her fall on the floor. "…You'd like to hit me again? Huh? HUH?!" The blond girl's hands grabbed Pamela's neck tightly while the redhead's hand grabbed a big amount of Harleen's hair, trying to force her to stop. Next to that fight was Penguin, trying to slide away from the two women, but stuck due to the hand-cuffs.

The Joker laughed loudly while crossing the road, his hand dragging the Bat by his cape easily, like he was a mere plastic bag. "Now, now, Harley, calm down." The blond didn't release the redhead from her hands. It was like she hadn't heard the Joker at all. And poor Pamela's beautiful visage began to turn red. "Calm down, Harley…" The Joker repeated in a softer tone while placing a hand on the Doctor's shoulder. But her pretty and fragile hands didn't let go. The Joker's smile vanished once he saw Poison Ivy's green eyes struggling to keep open. She was killing her…Harley was killing Pamela…How dared she? She had already knocked the Batman down; Joker wouldn't let her scratch another line of his "To Do" list.

"I said CALM DOWN you little fart!"

His hand suddenly grabbed the doctor's arm tightly and threw her across the air, making her land at least a meter away from them. On of her cute pink cheeks was facing the dirty road, scratched from the impact. But the Clown Prince seemed indifferent about her state. Instead he gave a huge mocking smile while turning his face to Pamela who now coughed furiously, her red hair covering her entire face. Dr. Quinzel was stronger than she looked like. The Penguin's eyes were wide open while he discreetly tried to understand if the blond woman was still conscious.

"Deep breaths, Pams…deep breaths."

The Joker said, chuckling under his breath. Ivy peeked from the middle of her bright orange hair, her green eyes narrowing to their maximum. "Just get rid of these cuffs." She growled, her once sweet and calm voice seeming heavier now. Like she had something stuck on her throat. The Joker smiled widely while revealing a small key that he had found hidden in a compartment of the Bat's belt. He tossed it to Ivy who quickly unlocked the cuffs. The Penguin seemed to mumble something about how strange women were, but Pamela preferred to ignore him.

"So, Pam? What do you say?"

The Joker had a big red smile while looking at Pamela. That big mocking smile, dying for her to say 'thank you' or for her to shout something at him. The redhead looked down, closed her fists and gave a small sigh, trying to clear her head from any violent thoughts. Ivy tried…but instead her fist punched the pale man's cheek, making him turn his head and close his eyes tight. Both Penguin and Harley gasped at that sight. They knew what the Joker was capable off…had Pamela lost her marbles?!

And although the clown's mouth kept smiling, his eyes seemed terribly serious now. Pamela's frown seemed to slowly disappear while his green eyes stared at her. It was then that Ivy realized. He was angry. The Joker's eyes revealed how furious the man was. The hand that had punched him felt numb and weak. But instead of yelling the Joker slowly revealed his bright yellow teeth in a grin that seemed to cause a cold shiver on the back of Pamela's neck.

She could see it. He wasn't smiling at her. He was smiling at the idea of poking her green eyes out of her face. He was smiling at the idea of chopping her body into pieces and making pieces of art out of them. He was smiling at her death. Suddenly a pair of comforting hands rested on the redhead's shoulders, and a cheek almost rubbed on hers'. "S-Say, Mr. Jay...shouldn't we start thinkin' about what to do with the…er… Bat…?" Pamela's eyes widened slightly while shifting between the Doctor and the Clown.

The Joker's narrowed eyes looked at Harleen for a couple of seconds. Her cute little face was right next to Pamela's. They were so different and yet both so beautiful. Of course, Ivy was much more woman like. Her eyes seemed to always stare at him in a seductive way, like she was stretching her hand, waiting for him to grab it. She knew what men wanted. And Harley…she had beautiful baby blue eyes that seemed to be constantly shining. Her small mouth seemed to always have a pink colour and she always had a sweet and soft smell of strawberries on her skin and hair. The Joker often found himself wishing he could turn her inside out, just to check if she was that adorable on the inside.

Either way, both of them deserved a big red smile on their faces. And one of them would have one, sooner or later. That image made the Joker chuckle in a low tone while turning his back to both ladies. "You're right, Harley." Ivy felt the woman's hands holding her shoulders tighter when he pronounced her name. His eyes looked down at the Batman and his smile now reached his ears. "We've got to do something BIG for our BIG boy…" The Penguin was suddenly standing next to Ivy and Harley, cleaning the dust off of his clothes.

"We'll take him to the Ice club," the short and funny-looking man said. "It should be closed by now. And I…" His fat hand suddenly revealed a long silver key. "…Own the place." The Penguin was actually trying to impress the other villains, but the only answer he received was a small laugh from the Joker who placed his large and cold hand on the fat man's shoulder. "Hah, Oz, my boy, we're going to give Batsy the best birthday party he's ever seen!" His slim and long arm was suddenly around Penguin's back, forcing him to move forward. The short man blinked his eyes quickly while looking up at the Joker. "Wha…What are you planning?" He asked nervously, afraid that that mad man would destroy his club. But the Joker simply smiled and nodded his head. "Well…I have this idea…" He suddenly stopped walking and looked at the two ladies who hadn't moved an inch with a warm grin.

"Oh, Harley dear, you don't mind if we use your car, do you?"

The blond haired woman gave a shy white smile while looking at him. Pamela could swear her hands were melting. "Not at all, mistah Jay…" The green haired man then looked at Ivy. She almost gasped when they crossed looks. He was planning. Planning something that would get her in trouble if not kill her. She was sure of it. But he suddenly spoke. "…And Pams…be a dear and carry that with you." He said, chuckling under his breath while pointing at Batman.

Once he turned his back to the women, Harleen gave a small sigh of relief, never releasing Poison Ivy. The redhead narrowed her eyes and quickly shrugged her shoulders, releasing herself from the other woman's grasp. Both big green eyes looked with an upset look at Harleen who had a slightly confused expression on her face. Harley couldn't understand why that frown was on the pretty woman's face.

"Why did you do that?"

Harley's blue eyes narrowed, still not fully understanding what she was talking about. But Ivy continued. "You think you did me some kind of favour, huh? That I'm going to protect you because you did the same for me?" The blond woman widened her eyes and suddenly giggled at Ivy's frustration. "Protect ya?" The woman pointed at Pamela with one of her tiny and pale fingers, a mocking smile on her face. "Listen, red, I hated your guts ten minutes ago. I just wanted to see that pretty face of yours turn blue…" Harleen's finger stopped pointing at Pamela and gave a carefree shrug instead.

"But Mistah Jay seems to like ya. You make him laugh!"

A cheerful little smile was on her face while looking at Pamela who seemed to be slightly disgusted at the devotion that that woman had for that madman. Ivy's lips gestured a small "Right" and shook her head slightly while placing both hands on her hips. But Harley wasn't finished. A disturbing grin was now on her face while eyeing the pretty woman. "I didn't protect ya, red. I saved your ass from bein' ripped off."

Pam's eyes widened when hearing her voice, she felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been thrown at her face. The look that Joker had thrown her made it clear that he wanted to kill her. No, not kill her…something worse. Much worse and macabre than that. The redhead looked at Harley with wide green eyes, and the Doctor's blue eyes seemed to smile at her. She had saved her life from being thorn into pieces in that instance.

Pamela blinked her eyes quickly and walked in the unconscious bat's direction, clumsily grabbing his long dark cape with both hands, trying to keep herself busy. But when Ivy tried dragging the large man, he only moved a couple of inches. This was going to be harder than she thought…But suddenly her blue eyed friend was standing by her side, both little hands also wrapped around the dark cape. Harley smiled at Ivy while also trying to drag him. Pamela Isley couldn't help but to release a small warm smile. It felt like she was saying thanks.

Both women fallowed the Joker and the Penguin while dragging the Batman with them. And although that was a hard (and quite heavy) work, both Ivy and Harley had a small smile on their faces. "You know what, red?" The blond woman asked while glancing at the other female. "I think this can be the beginnin' of a beautiful friendship."

Pamela chuckled and kept looking forward, trying to ignore Harleen...

But she was beginning to like that girl; she really was.
