Again, sorry this is so late, school just started for me and they're already putting us to work / Lucky for me its a Friday, my school usually doesn't give much homework on the first couple of Fridays. Some of the other chapters might be a little late also, and probs gonna end it at chapter 5, 6, or 7, and also cause I'm making two new fanfics, If you don't like gay/lesbian shippings then dont read them(Especially one part in this chapter between two of Joker's men), thats the best option. Enjoy chapter 5 :) BTW in the preveiw i know *not gonna spoil* was pictured on Harleen's side but I changed it up a bit.
AGH! Fuck!" Joker screamed, as he felt the claws dig deeper. "Harley-" Then he realized, this wasn't Harley. What he was looking at was a demon, black, ink covered claws, pitch black eyes, shredded attire, blood, lots and lots of blood, and glasses.
Glasses.
He could see it now, Harleen killed Harley.
"What happened to Harley.. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!" His voice cracked. "Where all the lost souls go..." Her distorted voice echoed over numerous other voices. "You little bitch!" He tried punching her.. him? It..? Anyways, he punched whatever it was. Harleen grabbed his fist and twisted it, causing him to shout in pain and fall to his knees. Harleen dropped his fist, without pity. "Oh, you think you're so strong, you think you're the big shit? But it turns out, you're just like the rest of these humans.. weak, pathetic.." She kicked his stomach, "Ignorant.. Your kind killed my one and only lover.. now, I'm going to repay you.. by wiping out this speck you call... home.." She walked around him in circles, "How I love seeing people scream in agony, Can I get an amen?"
She smiled and slit his throat slightly with her claw. He cursed numerous times, Harleen drifted out the window in a dark flash.
Harley POV
Harleen? Where are you? Why is it so dark? Puddin, are you there?
I paced back and forth, trying to put things together, everything was so quick... I couldn't think straight..
I want daddy..
I remember when I was just a spirit, looking through Harleen's eyes. Seeing Joker for the first time. That was when I first gained control, if it wasn't for me Harleen would've poisoned him, or shot him.
I started to cry, slowly. I stopped pacing and sat on the... floor? It wasn't the floor, it was cold, black, sticky liquid. I tried to stand up, I was stuck. I'm sinking, really slowly.. I tried screaming out for help.
But nobody came.
It was like quicksand, only stickier. I cried violently. I was crying out loud I couldn't stop. I screamed and cried, But nobody came... I felt my soul being ripped into shreds.
The pain was unbearable.
I was fully consumed by ink. I was suffocating.. I can't breath.. I cant..
"Golly, are you okay?" A high pitched voice called out. "Huh?" I was breathing again. "I saw you weren't breathing.. so I decided to help! Hope you didn't mind." He was a little kid, dressed in a black devil suit. His skin was snow white, black orbs for eyes, and a . Did Harleen have kids? "Anyways, I'm Bendy!" He held out his hand for me to shake, I shook his hand, "I'm Harley." I introduced. "Do you happen to know who Harleen is? Is she.. your mom?" I stood up, he covered my mouth. "DON'T EVER SAY THAT NAME!" Bendy cried, nervously, "She is not my mother, and never will be! She's evil I tell you!" At this point he was panicking. "Oh- I.. I'm sorry.." To my surprise he easily calms down.
"Wait.. What do you know about Harleen?" Bendy looked up at me, he's literally like, 3 feet tall. "Harleen.. took over my body.. I think?" I honestly didn't know.
"Oh golly.." His eyes widened, "She didn't take over your body.. She..." He stuttered. "Well, all you have to know is.. You need to find a way to defeat Harleen."
I couldn't stand the thought of Harleen dying. I thought about it for a moment, if we let Harleen live then she would destroy the world. I had no choice. "Let's do this." I agreed.
"Well, if we're going to do this we'll need some help.." He rubbed his chin, "BORIS!" He called over his shoulder. A tall wolf wearing overalls stepped out of the darkness.
"What's the matter, Bendy?" He asked. "This girl needs our help, Harleen took over her body!" Bendy looked up at him. I always thought it was funny that he had to look up at everyone. "Harleen?" Boris's eyes widened, "Ya mean the one who.." He gulped, "Tried to.."
Bendy nodded his head. Boris shivered.
"Did what?" I asked. Bendy and Boris stared at me, then looked back at each other in concern.
"Wait! Boris, Harley, we need to show you something." Bendy took our hands and led us down a ink stained, wooden steps. "This is where we get our power!" Bendy said, letting go of our hands. "Power? Bendy what are you talking about?" Boris was totally confused. Bendy slowly turned around, giving an awkward smile. "Umm.. Boris.." He chuckled, kicking the floor, "You know.. how we became.. alive?" Boris's jaw dropped, "BENDY! You use rituals to bring us to life?" I had no idea what they where talking about, but come to think of it... they both looked like characters from old cartoons, and sounded like them too.
"Trust me, Boris.. We need this to kill harleen!" Bendy tugged at Boris. The wolf rolled his eyes, "Fine, but if this all goes wrong and one of us, or all of us, gets killed. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Bendy smiled gleefully. "I'll go first!" Bendy giggled. He laid down in the circle and began to chant some words me or Boris couldn't understand. Black ink poured from the outlines, Boris and I stepped back, Bendy was fully surrounded in black ink. "Should we help him..?" I asked. Boris panicked, "I-I don't know.." We both looked in terror, we couldn't tear our eyes away. Earthquake rumbling came from the room, we held on to each other for dear life and closed our eyes.
The noice stopped, I was the first to open my eyes. Bendy didn't change at all. "You don't look different." Boris said, opening his eyes. "Well, that's where you're wrong, my dear pal!" Bendy slowly morphed into a tall, deformed demon creature. Both, me and Boris screamed, holding on to each other even tighter, Bendy chuckled, turning back to normal size.
I stopped screaming, but Boris was still going on.
"C'mon guys, it's still me!" Bendy laughed. Me and Boris let go of each other, "Let me try this!" Boris stepped over to the circle, "Do what you gotta do, Bendy." He laid in the middle of the circle as Bendy chanted. Boris looked up at Bendy, then over to me. I could see fear in his eyes. I shrugged, I didn't know what else to do. Again, ink was bleeding through the outlines, then covering his body. The Earthquake noice I was used to now, but it rang in my ears.
Boris stood, he didn't look any different. "Umm.. Bendy? What happened to me..?" Boris asked. "Boris, look anywhere in the room, and focus on one thing!" Bendy advised. Boris looked in the far left corner, his left eye shot out a red spear, it stuck to the floor. "So.. when do I go?" I asked. "Oh, I already got you. Remember? You where dead so I brought you back.. and decided to give you some powers as well. I couldn't find out what kind.. So I guess you have to find out yourself.. sorry bout that.." He smiled, nervously.
I looked down at my hands, two glowing lights.

"Dammit!" J yelled. He grabbed his phone and texted his men.
Harleen killed Harley, WE NEED TO STOP HER NOW! When you all get here, meet in my office
Joker panicked while trying to heal himself, he couldn't think straight. He wanted to hold Harley in his arms, he wanted to kiss her soft lips. He stared at his wounds in the mirror. He slammed his fists down on the sink and cursed. Cursed so much you'd think he was raised by sailors.
As soon as he got all his wounds patched up he checked to see if anyone had driven into his driveway. He saw 3 cars, then someone knocked on his door. Joker ran as fast as he could and jumped down the stairs, he didn't care if he got hurt again. He quickly opened the door and say 5 of the men he texted, standing at his doorstep. "ALL OF YOU IN MY OFFICE NOW!" He yelled. The men rushed to his office, J followed behind. He didn't need his men seeing how depressed he was. As they got into his office Joker slammed the door behind them. He sat at his desk, facing down.
"Harleen is somewhere.. i just dont know where.." J's voice cracked. He didnt cry at all, whenever he felt like crying his eyes out his body denied it, uncontrollably. "For all i know Harleen's gonna end life as we know it.." J growled. "I always knew Harleen was up to something.." Mike said. "What are we doing here? We need to stop her before she tears apart this planet." Jonny snapped, "What's the plan boss?"
"No plan. We take weapons and work from there." J stood up. "And about Harley?"
Joker felt like he was about to throw up. "Harleys... gone..." he said in between voice cracks. "She might still be in there.. you can't loose hope!" Vincent leaned forward in his chair.
Hope.
Harley's favorite word.
"Lets go.."
J and his men each got into their cars, driving as fast as they could in different directions, trying to look for a sign of Harleen. J slammed the breaks as soon as he saw Arkham Asylum, burnt, damaged, and torn. One wall stood up, Dreams do come true written on the mangled wall. J picked up his phone and imediently texted to group chat to meet him at Arkham.
"Harleen done all this?" Hutch wandered around the piles of rubble.They all looked at each other in silence, they where speechless, Harleen's name written on shattered bricks in black paint. They where startled by footsteps, Vincent tripped over nothing, "The hell was that?" He got up slowly. They heard whispering coming from all sides of them. But it wasn't Harleen's, no it was much, much lower.
"Are... are you with.. her..?"
"With her?" Jonny looked, "Who, her?"
"I... Please, don't tell her.. I'm.." The voice stuttered, then let out a slow chuckle. "We're not with whoever you're talking about, bud." Hutch pitched in, "Just, come out. We won't hurt you." The voice began to cry, still laughing. "It.. hurts.." the men looked at each other and back at their boss. J showed no pity, he was stroking his gun in his holster. "I got no time for this! JUST FUCKING SHOW YOURSELF!" J was beginning to grow impatient, he wanted his Harley and he wanted her NOW. The boys could hear laughter now, just laughter. "Y-you.. sheeps... show no mercy.. to the weak.. the hurt, the broken." the voice laughed, "You.. you're.. heartless.."
J looked down, still feeling tense. Who knows what he was going to do, he was loaded with weapons. Knives, guns, grenades, he could grab that man out of the darkness and kill him if he pleased. J let out a forced laugh, "Sheeps?" he said through gritted teeth, "This guy is fucking retarded.." He snarled. His chest burned.
Sheeps.
He remembered the time Harley went with him to shoot up a petting zoo, she just adored the sheeps. She saw one, she couldn't keep her hands off it. She asked to keep it, but when he said no she bawled like crazy, he still stuck to his decision.
"Fuck.." He muttered.
"Boss.. Jonny pulled the guy out, I think he needs help."
The man was wearing an old cartoon devil's mask and was covered in black, dripping ooze that stuck to his body, even when touched. "Did Harleen do this to you?" Vincent helped him up. "Well, not exactly..." He said, rubbing the forehead of his mask. "Harleen... she was once a cartoon, she told the owner to build a machine to bring them to life.. she told everyone to worship them like Gods.. we were scared, she already killed off the owner, soon enough.. i became this.."
"Do you know what happened after that?" Lance asked. "Well, all I know is that is Harleen took control of Alice, the only cartoon who was capable of escaping the studio and flew off.. but now she's free and.. who knows what happned to Alice.."
Jonny nudged J, "You think Alice is Harley?" J didn't look at him, he only starred at the ground, "I don't know.." thats all he could say. "Luckily, I know some people that can help.." Sammy suggested, "They know more about Harleen than anybody. Follow me."

Harley, Boris, and Bendy stared at her glowing hands. One pink and one blue. "Wowie.." Bendy stared in awe. Boris just stared, his eyes didnt move one bit. "H-Harley, try touching something!" Bendy stuttered. Bendy handed Harley an empty can of Bacon Soup, Harley gripped it in her Pink hand, it slowly turned into a pink crystal sword. Harley dropped it and covered her mouth, stepping back. As soon as she let go of the thing, it turned back into an empty can.
"Well how come she gets more than one power?" Boris put his hands on his hips and glared at Bendy. "I-I don't know! I.." Bendy tried to put two and two together, but ended up with nothing. Just as Bendy opened his mouth, they all heard a loud crash from upstairs. They all glanced at each other.
"Buddy System?" Bendy asked.
Holding each other's hands, slowly and nervously walking up the steps. When they reached the top, all the lights where turned off. "Umm.. heh.. power outage.." Bendy chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. They heard whispers, and silent chuckles. They bunched closer and tighter together. "Who's there!?" Harley asked, nervously. "Kill everyone and escape..." the voice echoed through the room, Harley's eyes widened. She looked for a nearby object.
An axe.
Her hands started to glow. She let go of Boris and Bendy's hands and plunged for the the axe. Gripping it in her glowing hands, the axe turned into the pink crystal sword. "Come out so we can see you, Harleen!" Harley screamed. Boris and Bendy where hugging eachother in fear. However, Harley showed none.
Slowly, Harleen stepped out of the shadows, an evil grin across her torn face.
Harley stood infront of her friends, protecting them.
"Well, well, well, looks like someone got a new little toy..." Harleen giggled. "Why are you doing this?" Harley snapped. Her hands glowing like the sun. "You know perfectly..." Harleen layed her cold, dark eyes on Harley's blue ones.
That's when it hit her.
Enchantress.
Harleen loved her. Harley helped kill Enchantress. Instead of listening to Harleen to kill everyone else. "I didn't have a choice. You know that." Harley looked down. "And you know that you COULDN'T die with me in your body.." Harleen finished, keeping her evil smile. Harley pulled her weapon to her side, still holding it. "Harleen.. I don't want to hurt you.." Harley cried quietly, still looking down. Harleen smirked, "Oh, but wheres the fun in that?"
Harleen plunged for the group of friends, Harley's head jerked up, she immediately covered her face with her arms.
Silence.
Harley slowly looked behind her. Bendy and Boris's mouths where open in amazement. They slowly let go of each other. Harley looked foward, a pink sheild covered them, Harleen banging at it and mumbling inaudible words. "Harley, you saved us!" Bendy rejoiced, "But, how do we get out of this bubble.."
They stared at each other for a long time. Harley looked back at where Harleen was, she was gone. The bubble disappeared, leaving the trio clueless. "Something new about Harley!" Bendy joked, Harley and Boris chuckled.
.
.
They walked down an abandoned part of the city. It was probably the part where no one remembered. There were dark, empty stores, windows broke, dead bodies on streets, laying on old newspapers. It was a complete ghost town.
"I got a bad feeling about this.." Joker snarled. "Don't worry. They're here somewhere." Sammy assured, everything was infested with flies, rats, mold, fungus. It was really getting on Lance's ocd. Vincent would see him physically ticking. "You okay?" He asked Lance. "I'm... I'm fine.. its just this place is so... disgusting.." Lance stuttered. "I-its ok.. I know the stench is unbearable." Vincent chuckled. Lance starred at Vincent, his brown hair drooping over his face, Lance brushed it out, both their faces grew red, looking away from one another, still side by side, trying to keep up with the group.
"The.. The weather is fine.. isn't it?" Vincent tried to break the ice, still looking at the ground. "Ya think?" Lance smirked, looking at the side of Vincent's head. Lance moved his eyes down to his hand, just hanging there. Lance looked off to the side, slowly gripping Vincent's hand. "L-Lance..?" Vincent's face was a bright red, he then smiled, looking back down, accepting the grip, holding Lance's hand tightly.
"Lance.." Vincent whispered, lustfully.
Jonny looked back at them, trying to hold back his laughter. Both Lance and Vincent glared at him, both with fury and embarrassment, but that didn't make them stop holding hands. As soon as Jonny looked away, Lance nuzzled his nose on Vincent's. They both quietly chuckled.
"Here we are!"
Sammy leaded them into a beat up anamation studio labeled Silly Vision. "I think they're still here.." Sammy mumbled.
The place was a total reck. Ink was everywhere, on the floors, on the ceiling, on the walls. "Dear god.." Lance whispered to himself. "We have to be very-"
"WHO'S THERE!" They heard a feminine voice call out. "Alice?" Sammy called back.
"THAT'S HARLEY!" Joker yelled, running towards the voice, the rest followed behind.
As soon as he saw his blonde girl, he quickly threw his arms around her waist, hugging her. "Puddin?!" Harley gasped. "Oh my god!" J pressed his lips against hers, both passionately and violently kissing. At this point he didn't care who was watching, he was just glad he had his Harley back.
Boris stood there. Holding back vomit.
"Oh... oh my.." Bendy stuttered. "My lord!" Sammy yelped.
"Oh golly.." Bendy facepalmed.
