POV- Harley Quinn
When I got to my room I was exhausted. Exhausted from not much sleep and how I just managed to beat four guards who were all twice my size. I wondered if the last guard was dead or just unconscious.
I might have just killed an innocent guard.
But it was strange, I wasn't feeling guilty of anything. Even when I thought about it more and more, nothing came. I berated myself for being so criminal like.
I really was becoming more of a criminal.
That was the truth. I was actually proud of my work that I just did. Beating those four guards made me feel powerful, even unstoppable.
I really confused the Joker too. I could see it on his face. The look was priceless.
They didn't even suspect that I was the one who set off the alarm on purpose. I laughed to myself aloud.
I am a genius.
By me setting off the alarm that made them run and then the guards caught them, but I came to their rescue by beating the all of the guards. Now I'll get at least some of their trust back. They'll think I'm on their side. Now they won't see anything coming.
I can't believe I thought he loved me.
Now everything he does annoys me. He talks to me like I'm a child! But now if I wanted their trust back I'm going to have to keep my temper.
All of a sudden the Joker barges through the door.
"I'm going out Harley. Don't do anything uh, stupid.", he told me.
I scoff at him, "No promises Mister J."
His eyes narrowed. I swear he was going to slit my throat, but now wasn't the time. I could tell.
But then he lunged at me and I hit the wall. My vision got blurry from hitting my head.
"Stop whatever you are doing. Stop the attitude and stop resisting me. And if you don't, you'll wish you never said a word to me.", he said through clenched teeth.
He let go of my throat and walked out of the room. I took deep breaths and tried to calm myself. My blood was boiling with anger.
I needed some air. It was nighttime so I didn't think any cops would be out looking out here. I decided to wait for a while to make sure they were gone.
After about fifteen minutes I got up from my spot on the floor and walked out of the room. Then I thought of all the supplies the Joker had back at the last hideout. I started looking in every room.
At the third door I looked in the room and found all the supplies. While looking around I spotted the oversized hammer. I tried picking it up but it was a little heavy. Maybe too heavy. I'd have to build up some muscle for that. I decided to go for a pistol, just in case.
I walked down around until I found a back entrance. When I stepped outside it was cool. The cold air felt welcoming. I walked down the somewhat empty streets. The only people occupying them were some drunks, but I steered clear from them.
I was too lost in my thoughts when suddenly I heard footsteps running closer to me from behind. Turning around too late, I got tackled to the ground. I screamed. The unknown person started yelling at me.
"Give me everything you have!",he yelled.
"No! Get off of me!", I yelled back.
I didn't know why I said that. He pulled out a gun and pointed it right at my forehead. My eyes started to water. He put his finger on the trigger.
Suddenly he was lifted off of me and thrown somewhere that I couldn't see. I stayed put in my spot trying to calm myself down. The man yelled for some reason.
I got up. The man was bleeding heavily on the ground and twitching. A pool of blood was around him. I couldn't stop staring at him.
Suddenly I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I slapped it off quickly, spun around and was about to throw a punch when I saw Catwoman standing there holding my fist.
"You alright?", she asked me.
"Uh ya. I think so.", I stammered.
I could have died.. Is that guy dead?
"Did you do that to him?", I asked.
"Harley Quinn, you sound surprised. But yes, I did.", she said.
She said that so calmly. It didn't even phase her.
I looked over at his body. It was still. His skin was paling and the blood was still draining out of him. I started walking over to his body.
"Harley? Harley Quinn don't go over there! I don't think you'll be able to handle seeing his body like that.."
It was too late. The man's body was caked in blood. There was slash marks that started from his chest all the way down to his stomach. I could see the entrails inside his stomach too.
I can handle blood but I couldn't handle seeing anything inside of a person. A single slash was on his cheek, that also had blood dripping from it. I thought I would be more horrified than I really was.
My head snapped up as I heard sirens in the distance. Catwoman was about to run off when I grabbed her arm.
"Hey! You aren't just going to leave me like last time are you?", I looked at her with pleading eyes.
Please take me with you. Please take me with you.
She sighed. "Fine. Follow me. And hurry."
Then she darted off into the alley way. I started running after her. There was a fence. She gracefully jumped on to a crate and flipped over the fence.
How was I supposed to do that?!
"Come on Harley Quinn we gotta go.", she told me impatiently.
I mimicked her moves. I jumped up on to the crate, not as gracefully though, and I flipped over the fence and landed in a crouch.
We were off again. Running through the alley ways and to the unknown destination. Finally we got to some apartment complexes and went to the side of the building.
She stopped, tuned to me and lifted a skinny black gloved finger up to her red lips. I nodded back, understanding that I needed to be quiet.
We climbed at least 3 flights before we got to her apartment. Both of us climbed through the window that looked into a living room. When we got in it wasn't as clean as I thought it would be. It was somewhat messy with clothes everywhere.
When I turned Catwoman wasn't there. I wondered around the apartment looking for her. I found her in the kitchen making some coffee.
She changed into pajamas and her long brown hair was pulled into a bun. This was the first time I've seen her without her Catwoman disguise on.
"Would you like some?", she asked me.
"Sure, please."
"You can sit wherever. Make yourself comfortable.", Catwoman told me.
I sat down at the small wooden table that was under a single light. She brought the coffee over and sat down across from me.
"Soo. What were you doing out at night again Harley Quinn?", she asked me curiously.
"Just taking a walk. Getting away from the hideout. And the Joker and his henchmen."
Her brown eyes were slightly narrowed.
"Would the Joker be okay with that?"
"Uh.. No.", I said realizing that later he would probably get mad at me for sneaking out again.
"Are you planning on going back there?", she asked me.
"Ya, I am.", I said. Then I thought maybe she should know about my plan.
Should she? Could I trust her?
I looked up at her pretty brown eyes again.
"I have a plan."
"And that is?", she asked me.
I could see her trying to guess what my plan was. But even though I could tell she was smart, I don't think she would be able to guess what I was about to tell her.
"I'm going to get back at the Joker. I'm going to play him at his own game."
"Oh honey what did I tell you last time? Don't get into this mess. You're only getting deeper. Deeper into this crap with the Joker. And now you're in costume trying to play a mass murdering psychopathic clown at his own game? No. Don't do this by yourself. Someone-"
"Ya, ya. Someone like me shouldn't be doing this. I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm capable of! I also know when to do it too. When he's least expecting it."
She was silent. "Well afterwards, then where will you go? You won't have the Joker to stay with."
"Well I was actually wondering if you would let me stay with you..", I said.
I looked down at the tiled floor then back at her.
She stared at me for a moment and then looked away, thinking in her head.
She sighed and then said, "Alright fine. Just.. Be careful, please. You promise?"
Her eyes were pleading. It looked like she actually cared. I smiled.
"I promise. Thanks for helping me.", I said to her.
Looking at the clock I realized I should probably get back to the hideout before the Joker gets back.
"Well, I better get going before he gets back."
I got up and started walking back to the window we came through.
"Good luck honey. Be careful. Don't brake your promise now.", she said as she winked at me.
"I won't.", I told her.
Crouching on the window sill I leaped off and landing in a crouch. I jogged out of the alley way and off to the hideout.
Thanks for reading :D please review!
