Chapter 08 - Harley Quinn's pal Jimmy Olsen

"And what happened next?" Chloe asked curiously.

"Well…" Lois was starting to explain before they heard a knock at the door.

"Chloe, are you there?" Jimmy yelled outside the door. "It's me, Jimmy. I'm back, baby. You have no idea what happened to me!"

"Jimmy!" Chloe jumped from her seat moving towards the door before Lois pulled Clark with her to stop Chloe.

"What are you doing, Chloe?" Lois asked exasperated. "You will not open the door. Jimmy can't see us like this!"

"I'm sorry, Lois. But Jimmy disappeared for two days and you want me to not open the door?"

"Clark, do something then!" Lois demanded to Clark who stared at her confused. "I would rather to die than Jimmy sees me cuffed to you."

"Fine!" Clark used his heat vision to melt the handcuffs and free them finally. "There!"

"Finally! Why didn't you think of that before?" Lois complained as Chloe opened her eyes confused.

"Hold on, since when did Lois know about that, Clark?" Chloe asked forgetting about Jimmy for a moment.

"We'll explain later, Chloe. Jimmy is waiting at the door," Clark reminded her making Chloe smile.

"Oh right." Chloe opened the door to notice a very tired Jimmy standing in front of her. "Jimmy!" She said hugging him tight. "What happened to you? You disappeared for two days without calling. I tried your cell phone dozens of times."

"You have no idea what happened to me," Jimmy said with his voice a little shaken and he looked like he was coming back from a war. "Hey, what happened to you?"

"So, tell us," Clark said also worried. "What happened?"

"Harley Quinn kidnapped me. That's what happened." Jimmy explained a little angry. "I spent two straight days with that lunatic."

"Why?" Lois asked curiously.

"Okay… you two will not like this…" Jimmy explained making Lois and Clark arch their eyebrows.

"WHY?" They asked in unison.

Okay, When we left the circus I was looking for my car while you were waiting for me, right? But instead of my car, I found her. Harley Quinn. Or she found me. Anyway, I knew I was screwed. She was Harley Quinn for Pete's sakes. Joker's girlfriend. She was crazy. She was an assassin. She was a crazy assassin. She would kill me and go to get a manicure after throwing my body in some dump.

"Hey, freckles!" Harley said with a smile holding her pop gun. "I'm glad to meet you here."

"Hi." Jimmy said a little afraid before gulping nervously.

"So, what do you think if we take a little trip?" Harley asked with a smile. "Just the two of us."

"Why?"

"I want to ask you some questions. I want to know everything you know about Lois and Clark," Harley explained making Jimmy look at her confused.

"Why?"

"Because I want. That's why. And don't disagree with me if you don't want to have a slow and painful death." She pointed her pop gun at his nose making Jimmy sweat nervously.

"Okay, Okay. What do you want me to do?" Jimmy asked nervously.

"This is your car?" Harley asked as Jimmy nodded. "Great. Jump in".

"Okay." Jimmy said as they got in the car and Jimmy started to drive. "To where?"

"Just drive. I tell you where when we are closer…" Harley suggested. "North."

"Yes, mam'."

"So, tell me about Lois and Clark. How they met? They are in love? How many time they spent together?" Harley asked at once making Jimmy confused.

"Well, they aren't exactly dating. I know they have some chemistry. I already told my girlfriend about that. And I've only know them for like a year, so I don't know that much. Chloe knows more about that… but please, don't kidnap her too."

"Relax, freckles. We are just talking. So, what did your girlfriend said about them?"

"Well, Chloe said they are like nitroglycerin and peroxide but I disagree. I think they would be a great couple," Jimmy explained with a smile.

"Hum… if you put them together they can combust that's for sure," Harley pointed out with a smile while Jimmy was driving. "And I love a good explosion, especially when it has fireworks. Makes me all tingle inside."

"So, what you want to do?" Jimmy asked curiously. "Put them together against their will? Lock them up together?"

"I'm still not sure, freckles. But I'll figure out a way to make these crazy kids realize what they have is love," Harley explained with a smile. "And you will help me."

"Me? Why me?" Jimmy asked still a little afraid of her. "Look. I'd love to see them together like you but… I already tried. I even set them up during Valentine's Day but it didn't work. Well, at least until Lois bought that weird lipstick that made her loses her inhibitions and…"

"Wait. What lipstick? What are you talking about?" Harley asked confused. "Spill it."

"Well, Lois bought this lipstick from a gypsy that mades her lose all her inhibitions and she and Clark spent some time… well, just say… kissing because of that, before I brought the antidote and broke the spell."

"Spoil-sport," Harley scoffed at him annoyed. "Hum, this gypsy still around?"

"No. She was just hired for the Valentine's Day night at the Talon. Even her store is not here anymore."

"Hum… But maybe I can ask for help from my best friend who is also a very good botanist ," Harley explained making Jimmy look at her worried. "Maybe she can help me to set up this two."

Jimmy look at Harley worried. Now she wasn't so sure if he was afraid of what Harley was up to or of Lois when she found out.
