Chapter Two-An Odd Union
Selina Kyle had been watching everything from the building across the street, although she couldn't hear anything she sensed that things were going to get interesting from here. She never did much care for either Joker or Harley, but the Batman he has a very special place in her heart. She knew that deep down she would always love him, even though they don't always get along, why with her being a Jewel thief and "Cat Burglar" and he's the vigilante and guardian of Gotham.
"So the Bat is leaving with Harley, this is interesting indeed, and this I can exploit to my advantage, time for this kitten to get her saucer of milk, hehehehehe" Selina said to herself
Selina decided to see what the Joker was up to, she followed him silently from a distance and apparently he hadn't discovered her yet, and she intended to keep it that way.
Joker felt that he was being followed but he really didn't care, assuming that it was only Catwoman just snooping around as usual, the Bat and her had an on and off again relationship, hahaha this is perfect, he would use her to get his Harley back, The Joker would have the last laugh after all.
Meanwhile elsewhere in Gotham...
Harley was exhausted she fell asleep on Batman's shoulder it was broad, she felt secure with Batman like he'd protect her from any harm, and if Joker ever tried to take her away from her darling Bats she'd freak out.
Batman was driving pretty fast the Batmobile was shearing it's pins, it would need repairs before too long, he glanced down at Harley she was breathing gently and her pretty face was smeared with her running makeup.
The hours seemed to tick by very slowly, and Alfred was beginning to get worried master Bruce hadn't contacted him in quite some time, Alfred had always been like a father to Bruce ever since Bruce lost both of his parents, Alfred was close with the Wayne family and cared very much for them, he was more than just their butler, he was a part of their family and then his intercom rang
"Yes, Master Bruce"
"Alfred, we will be having a guest stay with us for a while, I want you to get out some fresh clothes and ready the Master bedroom with clean sheets, and prepare something to eat, I'm sure that she'll be starving, we are almost there" Batman said
"I know that you don't like when I pry into your affairs sir, but might I ask who is your lady guest, is it miss Kyle again" Alfred asked
"Nah, it's not Selina, I haven't seen much of her lately, it's Harley Quinn" Batman said
"Harley Quinn? Sir, I must admit that I'm a bit confused, but then again it isn't my place to question your motives, I will do as you request" Alfred said
"Right Alfred, it's a long story, and I'll fill you in later, be there soon" Batman said
"As you wish sir, I shall await your arrival as always do be careful" Alfred said
"Will do Alfred, be there soon" Batman responded
This was a rather odd situation indeed, why was Master Bruce bringing home Harley Quinn, there has to be a deeper meaning behind all of this, Alfred didn't trust her, she was way too close to the Joker, then again he didn't really trust miss Kyle either, Gotham's woman really do taint your mind, oh shit the Master will be back soon Alfred had to hurry there was a lot more to do and very little time in which to do it in.
At Joker's place..
Joker was getting rather impatient, his contact should be there by now, then he said silently to himself "well if you want something done right then you have to do yourself"
"Joker, he is here sir, shall I let him in?" His thug said
"No, I want him to just stand there all day, of course let him in, moron" Joker said sarcastically
"Sorry sir" That said thug said
The door slammed open and on the other side was none other than Deathstroke or Slade Wilson as he sometimes goes by. He was a mean customer alright, he wore a mask with only one eye visible as Slade only had one eye, his other eye he lost in battle against his former master Ra's Al Ghul, he was foolish to attack the master knowing that he was very much out of his league, he lunged at Ra's but he dodged and when Slade looked in the opposite direction that was when Ra's struck and plugged out his right eye and winching in great pain Slade yelled he was then told to leave the league of Assasins and never to return or Ra's would take out his other eye.
Slade was the perfect killer he had absolutely no conscience, so he could kill without feeling any remorse, and this was just another job for Slade. There on the throne of broken car parts sat the Joker, now Slade didn't like the Clown, in fact he hated Joker just as much as he hated Batman, and for some reason Slade know that the reason for aiding Joker was to get the Bat, in fact it pleased him as his toughest opponent was the Batman.
"Alright spill it Joker, why did you contact me, you know I can't stand you" Deathstroke said
"Well it's good to see you too DeathJoke, anyway as you now I want the Bat dead, and then it occurred to me that you are the best assassin that I know, see this is a very personal reason, he stole my precious Harley from me, but before you kill him I want to see the look of fear in his eyes and finally get the answer to the most pressing question there is who the hell is Batman" Joker said angrily
"Alright, I'm on board, now you know that I don't work for free, you better plan on paying me a shitload of money, and don't stiff me because if you don't pay I'll kill you" Slade responded
"oh, you'll get your money alright, and it will be plenty, I've heard about you killing off some of those bothersome Titans, first you got that annoying Beast Boy, and that lame Cyborg, but you failed to kill the other those two girls and Batman's former sidekick Nightwing, did I miss anything? Maybe you're slipping Slade" Joker said
"True that they've evaded me but I will get them, I don't like to leave things unfinished Raven, Starfire and Nightwing I will get all three of you but first I will get Batman" Slade said
"I know, that is why I hired you, now get going I had already sent Deadshot to track down the Bat but he has yet to report back I think the Bat must have got him, be extra careful he maybe on to me" Joker said
"You'll be fine Joker, I never give up my client's names as an insurance policy so you'll be fine and I'll report back when I've got the Bat" Slade said
"Very good Slade, talk with you soon and please don't hurt my Harley if you can help it, I'll hurt her myself as she was the one who left me, I won't be taking this sitting down" Joker said
"Ok, Joker I better get going" Slade said walking away
"Don't fail me Slade or I'll make you pay as well, I don't take failure lightly" Joker said
"I know" Slade said his voice fading into the distance
Back at the Bat Cave...
Batman helped Harley out of the Batmobile and Alfred still felt a little uneasy, this was weird, but again Master Bruce has his reasons I suppose, thought Alfred then he spoke sounding casual
"Welcome home sir, and Ms. Quinn please make yourself at home, anything you need please feel free to ask" Alfred said
Harley was amazed at what she was looking at, she couldn't believe her eyes, it was a gigantic cave with expensive looking equipment, who was this guy, and how could he afford all this stuff and those little gadgets, thinking about all this stuff was getting her horny, she giggled a little thinking if he every pleasured any girl with those batarangs and other gadgets, heck maybe she'd be his first.
"So Harley, what do you think? Impressive isn't it" Batman said
"Yeah Bats it is, how is it that you can afford all this?" Harley asked
"Well, I'm really, really rich, let's put it that way" Batman said
"Wow your incredible Bats, mind if I take a shower and get cleaned up" Harley said
"Alfred, please show Harley to the restroom, is her bath ready?" Batman said
"Of course sir, right this way ms. Quinn" Alfred said
"Thanks Bats and.. Alfred? Thank you" Harley said
"No problem, see you soon" Batman said
"Oh Bats by the way, from now on please called me Harleen, ok Harley is what Joker use to call me, and I would rather not think about him" Harleen said
"Ok, Harleen it is" Batman said
Once again Bats couldn't help but watch Harley as she walked away following Alfred, that cute little butt of hers wiggling, in any case he thought it best to get out of his Bat suit but to keep on the cowl as to not reveal that he was really Bruce Wayne, not just yet anyway, he'd show her when the time was right.
A little while later...
Harleen had finished with her shower and she came out in nothing but a t-shirt too big for her and her cute little panties, she actually looked a little different without all the freaky clown makeup on and just letting her natural beauty shin through, she laughed as Batman was still wearing the cowl and was in a bathrobe.
"Want something to eat cutie" Batman said
"Yeah I'm starving" Harleen said
The two of them sat down to the dinner that Alfred had prepared, it was great Harleen hadn't had anything this good in a while, she still wondered who Batman was but she really liked him and tonight she was going to make the Bat into a real man.
After dinner the two went into the master bedroom to retire for the evening Harleen was a little nervous as she was never really this quick to jump into bed with any man, the only man that she had ever been with was Joker, but there is a first for everything.
"Bats, please be gentle will you, I'm rather new to all this, the romantic dinner and all it was sweet, so let's just take it easy, maybe we can just snuggle till we fall asleep" Harleen said
"Sure I think its best, whenever you feel ready, and if you want to snuggle I suppose we could" Batman said
"Okay, here I come Bats" Harleen said
Harleen jumped into bed with Batman, she got close to him and they snuggled, and then she said it
"Oh Mr. J you're the best"
"What?" Batman said
"Sorry Bats, guess that I'm not completely over Joker, it will take a little time" Harleen said
"It's ok, I understand" Batman said
Batman and Harleen spent the night together snuggling, for once in his life he thought that perhaps he wouldn't be alone.
A little while later back at Joker's
"Come on out Catwoman, I know that your there" Joker said
"Guess I under estimated you Joker, so bringing out the big guns huh, nice touch in getting Slade on your side, but are you sure that you want to kill Batman or do you want to know a secret, I know who the Batman is, no lies" Catwoman said
"Do you now? I suppose after sleeping with him you would know, wouldn't you" Joker said
"How dare you, I'm trying to help you out here and save Batman at the same time, I don't like him with another woman and you don't want Harley with another man, it's love, I know" Selina said
"You figured it out did you, so what do you want?" Joker said
"An understanding a temporary alliance until we are back with the ones that make us truly feel alive, Harley for you and Batman for me" Selina said
"Alright sounds fun, so how's about a drink?" Joker said
"No thanks Joker, I'll pass" Selina said
"ok, just being friendly, I know we don't get along but I think this could really work" Joker said
"Are you now? I am uneasy about this but I'm on board if you are" Selina said
Just like that an odd union between Joker and Catwoman was formed, everyone was going to get what they wanted one way or another.
