Chapter 10 - Harlequinade

"That was disturbing!" Lois made a face already picturing Jimmy and Harley slow dancing together. "So, that's all what happened?"

"Yes…" Jimmy said with a sigh. "Pretty much…"

"I'm so sorry, Jimmy," Chloe said with a sympathetic smile holding him close to her arms in a hug. "But I'm so glad you escaped from her, alive. I dread to think what she could have done to you."

"Yeah. I know. Although she was threatening me at first, I don't think she meant those things. We kinda bonded together. And Harl is not that bad after all."

"Harl?" Chloe arched her eyebrow surprised. "Since when do you call her by nicknames, Jimmy?"

"Seems they bonded more than we imagined," Lois said with a sarcastic look.

"Look. I know she's a nutso and terrorized me but… she wanted to put you two together so bad, maybe she isn't that bad at all," Jimmy explained with a smirk making Clark, Chloe and Lois stare at him confused.

"How can you say that, Jimmy?" Lois asked annoyed. "Did she brainwash you or something?"

"I'm just saying her heart seems to be in the right place. And she is just following her heart doesn't matter where it leads."

"O-kay," Lois gazed at Clark who looked at her still not sure what to think about that.

"So, what happened when I was MIA?" Jimmy asked curiously wanting to know what he missed. "What I miss?"

"Well…" Clark started. "So, me and Lois took Kara to the Smallville annual Harvest Festival. And Guess who was there too?"

"Harley Quinn" the three answered together.

"We are looking at the festival while Lois was complaining how corny it was." Clark explained sounding a little frustrated.

"Well, it was," Lois snapped at him.

"You said that but you eat three caramel apples and two hot dogs," Clark reminded her making Lois roll her eyes.

"That just proves how little you know me. I only eat like that when I'm miserable." (like the L&C reference)

"Anyway…" Clark continued. "So, we are in the corner next to the Talon after finding out Kara just got a job there since Lois helped her to get an interview with the new manager."

Lois, Clark and Kara were on the corner next to the Talon after leaving the cafeteria to celebrate Kara being hired by the new manager. Chloe was working at the Daily Planet and Jimmy was still missing, so Chloe waited for him to show up at the Planet.

Suddenly, they bumped into Babs and Dick who were in Smallville to check out the festival as well…

"Hey you!" Babs smiled at them. "We were about to call you. We decided to check out the festival you talked about, Clark. Seems nice."

"Yeah, if you like corn…" Lois teased with a sarcastic smile.

"Lois…"

"What Clark? Did I say something that isn't true?" She crossed her arms already annoyed by him. "You know I don't lie, Clark."

"Yeah, but. There's nothing wrong with eating corn, Lois. It's heathy, you know?"

"I know that, Clark but…"

"Hey, every time I bump into you two you are acting like a bickering couple." Harley Quinn suddenly appeared on rolling skates with two hyenas by her side. "What do I have to do to put you together? Lock you up?" Harley curved her mouth into a mischievous smile before whispering to herself. "Hey, that's a pretty good idea. Maybe I should save that for later."

"Harley, what are they doing here?" Dick exclaimed already frustrated.

"Leave my babies out of this." Harley warned him in an angry tone before calling the hyenas who were growling at Lois and Kara. "Bud… Lou. Come to mama!" Harley opened her arms as the hyenas came back to her side before Harley threw a big slice of steak for them and they devoured the food. "I thought I should check this festival out as well but I couldn't leave my babies alone at home and the fresh air would be good for them as well."

"So, like having that lunatic around wasn't bad enough, Intergang decided to crash the festival as well," Lois pointed out with an irritated tone in her voice.

"Nobody move!" Vincent Edge, father of Morgan Edge and the new Intergang boss pointed a gun at everybody at the festival. "Or things will get ugly if you do…"

"Hey, are you stealing my thunder, Mr Edge!" Harley complained a little annoyed. "Although I wasn't planning to steal anything today; I was planning to have this day off but… what the heck!"

Harley joined Intergang to do the robbery, while Intergang started to shoot and everybody ducked to protect themselves, Lois and Barbara were in the firing line before Clark and Kara quickly saved them just in time.

"Smallville?" Lois asked confused with her eyes wide open after Clark put her in his arms and ran away as Kara did the same.

"Don't worry, Lois. I got you."

"You got me? Then, who got you?"

Barbara looked at Kara also surprised frowning a little bit.

"Kara?"

"That's me!" she said with a smile also dragging her out of danger.

"Okay, you stay here," Clark warned them. "I know these guys. They can really hurt someone. I will bring Dick here."

"Don't worry about him, Clark." Barbara pointed to the sky as he noticed Dick already got away in time to change into his Nightwing outfit. "He is already ahead of it."

"He is good," Clark commented making Barbara smile.

"I know."

Clark joined Dick in the fight against Intergang while Kara, Barbara and Lois were helping them fighting against the female bodyguards that work for Intergang.

"I wasn't really in a mood for a catfight!" Lois complained while throwing some punches at a blonde in a mini skirt.

Barbara threw some Bat-rangs at them making them explode causing enough distraction to help them to get out of there as they noticed Harley Quinn get away again. The Police sirens started to ring as Maggie Sawyer came out of her car to get some statements about the incident.

Then, after Barbara, Kara and Nightwing were giving Maggie some answers, Me and Clark come back to my place and that's where she found us," Lois explained a little frustrated.

"What we got here?" Harley asked with a smile holding her pop gun in her hand while her pet hyenas Bud and Lou were by her side.

"Harley? What are you doing here?" Lois asked infuriated already feeling her blood boiling at any moment.

"Well, Like I said the other night. I know you are doing some investigations about me, Miss Lane. I know you want to catch me. I figure out you two were gonna trap me eventually… so only made sense to spring my own tender trap first."

She pointed her pop gun at them, that throws strings glueing their body together making it impossible to move.

"What the hell?" Lois complained trying to move her body away from Clark but that was impossible. "What are you thinking?"

"So, what am I going to do with you two?" Harley asked herself looking around Lois's apartment and she noticed the small closet next to Lois's room. "Huh. I think I already got a pretty good idea."
