pedrofaria339: Actually most incarnations of the Oracle base are like that.

chimera629: Harley knew about that because she was his psychiatrist, it is why she has gone a bit mad. And yes the Oracle computer is as high tech as the BatComputer, and is connected to it. However Bruce has locked off a lot of functions and such

acw28: Who says that Harley can't go back?

Benkei Atsumori: Bruce does not know EVERYTHING about his future enemies. As I have mentioned in the past- a lot of information is locked until it becomes needed, he is given just enough information but not ALL the info because the more history changes the less useful that information will be because of the Butterfly effect.

And what could Bruce have done? Yes he saw that Joker was changing Harley but... he is her friend. All he can do is hope that his help would help her from being manipulated. And when he saw her changing.. what could he say? "I know you are the Joker's therapist, information I should not know as I do not work for Arkham and have no legal way of obtaining this knowledge, and he is manipulating you as I know all this because I have information from the future and I am Batman. Huh? I am totally not a crazy stalker. Harley!"

I admit that your idea is interesting but here is the problem there: Bruce was not her friend, just a friend of a client, when she first talked to the Joker. Also the Joker is calm and patient, slowly corrupting her. And the Joker has NEVER been obsessed with Harley except with bad comics and things.

And again the Joker is smart, he knows he needs too indulge her a bit. And yes Harley is indulging a bit but that is because it is like a drug! She got a hit and went a bit crazy, when she calms down she will realize what she did

Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:

Mighty TAB X: Yeah they are. And it's spelt "brooding", just trying to help.

pedrofaria339: Thank you.

acw28: Maybe, maybe not. Keep reading.

Author's Notes:

Hey guys, new chapter!

Just so you know Ghost went on Holiday last week so I did not update last week. And I did not upload yesterday because I was VERY busy yesterday and Sunday as I was editing.


Batman: A Different Path

Chapter 12: Chemical Chaos


Joker kept pushing Harley away for now, with the physical contact. He wanted to continue his new plan. But Harley was getting bored, she needed to do something...or to put it another way: she wanted to do some-ONE. "Please Mr J! Let me make you feel good!" She groaned

"... ALRIGHT! FINE!" he snapped angrily, throwing his papers onto the desk

"YAY!" Harley smiled

Joker undid his pants revealing a small five inch white cock with a purple head, pushing Harley to her knees "Suck it." Joker ordered

"S-Sure thing Mistah J." Harley smiled awkwardly as she had never done this before. She took the cock into her mouth and sucked, bobbing her head quickly

'Damn this woman is stupid...But...She DOES know how to suck a dick' Joker thought. He pulled her head back, off his cock, and slapped her face a few times with his cock before slamming it inside again "Hmm! There we go!" Joker's grin grew just slightly, feeling better that he just slapped Harley with his member.

Harley had one eye closed, the cock slap covering one of her eyes and some of her face getting covered by her spit. The slap was degrading and felt hurtful but Mr J wouldn't mean it like that! No way! So she just kept sucking 'That...that was just playing. It had to be. I...I just have to keep doing what I'm told.' Harley thought 'Right...?' But... she was starting to feel doubt from how he was treating her when they where supposed to be intimate 'What...what have I gotten myself into?' She worried


*With Batman and Batgirl*

"Found them yet?" Batman asked, pacing

"I'm trying..." Barbara answered searching and connecting the dots.

Bruce was getting worried. The longer this took the worse could happen to Harley, the more likely he won't be able to help her "Damn." he hissed under his breath

"Wait...Wait I think I have something. Chester's Jests. It's a rundown joke shop." Barbara spoke finding a location

"... of course." Batman sighed

"I can't believe I missed that." Barbara muttered to herself, feeling a fool for not noticing.

"Not your fault." Batman nodded before he shot a grapple line up "Remember to shut it all down and lock it up." And with that he shot out of the control room

"...That is so cool." Barbara whispered as she shut down and locked up all the room from prying eyes.

Outside the Clock-tower Batman began to triangulate the location of Chester's Jests and found the quickest way there. 'Hold on Harleen. I'm coming.'


*With Harley and Joker*

The two where once again on a rampage, wrecking the town. They had abandoned Chester's Jests for now, but they were currently racing through The Diamond District, one of the most financially wealthy sections of the city "I hope Brucey isn't here tonight!" Harley hoped aloud, laughing a bit

"Who's Brucey?" Joker asked as they crashed through the doors of a jeweler's store

"Bruce Wayne! He was my Coffee Buddy!" She smiled/cheered "My best friend!"

"Wayne?! You KNEW Wayne?" Joker asked becoming intrigued

"Yea! His girlfriend was one of my patients and he became a pal of mine!" She nodded

"Well, WHY didn't you say so earlier?" Joker asked, stopping from robbing the store

"Huh?" She tilted her head

"If you KNEW Wayne...we wouldn't be HERE! Wayne's a walking money vault!" Joker answered

"How?" She asked in confusion and worry "We aren't gonna hurt him, are we?"

"What? No, no, no, no, no..." Joker answered "Well...only if he doesn't comply."

"O... okay?" She nodded curiously

"Now, come on. We've got some funds to cash in." Joker smiled

"FREEZE! GCPD!" a police officer shouted pointing his gun at the pair.

Joked frowned... and shot them all down quickly. And he LAUGHED! He laughed after gunning them down! He felt nothing!

Harley...she was frightened...She had never seen a person be killed like that...she's never seen people DYING like that! She didn't know that Bruce DID help her. It saved her. It let her keep enough sanity to not be so blinded by love. She had to escape, she was wrong about Joker. She had to get out of there. But... she didn't know how. So she followed him as he left for the Wayne Manor 'Please... someone. Help me.' she thought


*much later*

Batmam and Batgirl arrived at the abandoned warehouse and found it just that, abandoned. They found Joker's stuff but he wasn't there. Be had already gotten away 'Damn it.' Batman thought

"I-I'm sorry. I thought that-" Batgirl apologized

"You did your best. You found his past location; they might've moved." Batman praised her. Now he had to work out where they were going. He activated his Detective Vision, to scan any and all clues that might've led to their next destination. All he found was some of Joker's Joker Gas in liquid form... which he saw a drop off having fallen onto his boot. The Joker Gas, when in liquid form, was a transparent liquid so it was near impossible to see. But he could see it as clear as day right now "I found a sample of Joker's "Gas"." Batman spoke as he collected it in a test tube.

"How? I can't see anything." Barbara spoke

"Detective Vision. It's a setting in my cowl, I'll upgrade yours soon." Batman answered "Do you see anything at the front?" Bruce asked, testing her detective skills while he collected the sample

Barbara frowned, looking around "Tire tracks...? There's...there's fresh tracks here." Barbara spoke

"What kind?" Bruce smiled

"Looks like a hot-rod like tracks...Like a Cadillac's...They're going...Right. They're going to the main streets." Barbara spoke

"Let's go." Batman nodded


*With Pamela*

Pamela was currently in the Manor's garden, tending to the plants. She had a smile on her face feeling that Dick was going to do well being Bruce's partner in the field "Wish for help Ms Isley?" Alfred asked as he walked over

"Oh...Alfred. Thank you." Pamela turned around and smiled seeing the kind butler

"Not at all. I see that Master Dick has chosen his moniker. Along with a suitable costume." He spoke

"Yes he has." Pamela smiled, nodding

"I can't help but worry though. Both father and son are on a crusade to protect this city...Against crooks and villains who could easily overpower them." Alfred commented

"He may not be like that Superman in Metropolis with like three hundred powers but Bruce has ONE real super power." Pemela smiled "His sheer force of will. And with any luck Dick will inherit it even if they aren't related by blood."

"Your optimism is refreshing Ms Isley." Alfred smiled "I'll go get us both a drink."

"Thank you." She nodded with a smile... before the mansion was filled with the sound of someone ringing the doorbell

"I wonder who that is? I'll answer it." Alfred spoke as he walked to the door.

Pamela nodded only for her plants to begin whispering to her. They spoke of danger! She frowned in confusion at that "What do you mean? What danger?" Pamela asked

"The front door!" the plants answered

"Alfred, wait!" Pamela called out, only it was too late. Alfred had opened the door; revealing Joker, grinning like a mad man.

"Hello Jeeves." Joker grinned, pointing a gun at Alfred's head

"Alfred!" Pamela called out distracting Joker just long enough for Alfred to move out the way

"Ooh! Lookie here! Seems that Brucie has a Green Thumb." Joker laughed giving off two quick shots at Pamela and all that happened was a 'bang' flag came out of the gun "BWAH! HA-HA-HA! Gotcha!" Joker laughed


*with Bruce*

They continued to follow the tracks which ended in The Diamond District, Gotham's largest distribution of rich merchandise. "We're too late...They're gone." Barbara frowned

Bruce nodded... before a blinking went off in his cowl 'Someone's broken into the manor!' Batman thought in shock 'What could only mean... NO!' Bruce was still for a second... and took off running

"B-Batman? Where're you...? Don't talk just run!" Barbara spoke and followed

Batman was racing through Gotham, towards his home 'No no no! Why?! Why would they go THERE?!' He thought in anger "Hold on Pam." He whispered


*Wayne Manor*

Pamela and Alfred were dodging Joker's bullets, which he had plenty of since he brought along a Tommy Gun! Harley was petrified from seeing this, she didn't want to invade or destroy Bruce's home. And she certainly didn't want to attack her friend Pamela! But then it dawned on her...She, Bruce and Alfred weren't the ONLY ones who were living here! "Richard!" She gasped in fear. She just hoped that Joker didn't hear her, though from the gun fire it was possible he was getting deaf from repeated use. So she ran through the house to try and find him. She was on the third floor when she saw a door burst open and Dick ran out, but backed up when he saw her

"S-Stay back!" Dick spoke

"No, no. Richard...I-I'm not going to hurt you." Harley defended with open hands, showing she had no weapons but seeing the fear on her face... she pulled her hood back, freeing her hair, and whipped the makeup off her face "See? It...It's me...It's Harleen." Harleen answered, trying to calm him down

"W-Why're you here? Why're you doing this?" Dick asked in fright

"I... I made mistake." She said, hugging him as she held back tears "I... thought he loved me. He tricked me... used me... oh... oh god he... I... no."

"Just...Just go. Get out of here. Run from him." Dick spoke trying to help her "Get help."

"I can't... he'll follow me and hurt everyone in his way... this is all my fault." Harley whispered as guilt filled her, realizing how STUPID she had been

"Um...Quick, out the window. Go and get help that way." Dick thought, trying to save her and also get his costume on so he can fight for Pamela and Alfred

"No." She frowned, shaking her head "Look... just... just hide. Somewhere Joker won't look. I... I'll try and get him to leave."

"...I have a place." Dick nodded

"Go! Quickly!" Harleen nodded, pushing him away "Run!"

Dick nodded and headed for his hiding place. Which was actually a quick route to the Batcave.

Out of her sight, Harleen turned her back on Dick and went downstairs, hoping that Joker hadn't hurt Pamela and Alfred. Pamela was afraid to unleash her powers 100% because she didn't want to wreck Bruce's home "Wait...Aren't you that plant girl? Yes...I wondered what happened to you. If I knew you were here I would've bought weed whacker!" Joker laughed

"Okay... fuck you." She frowned at that

"I've got someone for that." Joker smiled darkly aiming for Alfred with his gun... Only to see Alfred had a shotgun "Okay..." Joker double blinked "Now THAT'S...funny."

"Ex-British Secret Service, you bastard." Alfred smirked before he fired. The shots fired straight at Joker but the clown flung himself backwards to try and dodge the blast. His arm got injured from the shot but besides that he was fine "Leave! Our! Home!" Alfred said seriously, pumping the shotgun

"AH-HAHAHAHA!" Joker laughed in pain and madness

"What's so funny?" Pamela frowned

"Cause Bruce must be as mad as I am!" Joker laughed. Alfred raised an eyebrow at that "A gun toting butler and a plant lady! It's the start of a great joke!" He laughed smashing something onto the ground making a blanket of fog. Alfred quickly put on a gasmask, Pamela immune to the gas but she still shielded her eyes . Joker had fled the scene and Harleen coughed as the two left. Joker by choice and Harleen by force and then Bruce arrived in Batman gear, Batgirl right behind him

"Why're we at Wayne Manor?" Barbara asked

"... Wayne pays for my equipment. We set up an alarm that I tell him to turn on whenever someone like the Joker escapes because he is a likely target. Being the richest man in Gotham." Batman lied, entering "And the alarm went off."

"Oh boy...Mr Wayne is amazing." Barbara commented as they flew in

"Mr Pennyworth! Ms Isley!" Batman called out "Master Grayson!"

"Br... Batman!" Pamela called, noticing Batgirl and correcting herself

"In here Batman!" Alfred coughed

Racing into the fog Batman and Barbara began to filter through the cloud finding both Pamela and Alfred "Are you okay?" He asked

"We're fine...Where...where's Dick?" Pamela coughed

"He is in his room." Alfred explained

"Batgirl: get them out. I'm going after the boy." Batman answered

"I'm on it." Barbara answered

Bruce nodded and ran inside "Dick. Dick!" Batman called out and searched the rooms.

"I'm...I'm here." Dick called out through the secret passage in the rooms to the cave... and he saw Dick in his costume

"Dick?" Batman double blinked

"Hey Batman." Dick smiled wearing his costume in its new colours. It looked a lot like a smaller Batman suit except it was mostly red but the sleeves where green and there where green accents down his legs. He had a golden utility belt and a shorter, thinner cape. Finally he didn't have a cowl but a black domino mask "Surprise?" Dick asked with a small smile

Bruce chuckled, seeing the golden circle with an 'R' inside it on Dick's left peck "R? What does that stand for?" Batman asked

"Robin." Dick smiled with pride.

"Robin..." Bruce hugged him, knowing he was safe. "You're okay." He sighed happily

"Yeah...Ms...Ms Harleen told me to hide." Dick answered

"She was here?" He asked, slightly shocked but also glad. It looks like she hadn't completely gone off the deep end

"Yeah...She...She tried to find me to go and hide." Dick answered

Bruce smiled. There... there was hope. This could work, he did not want to loose another friend

"I was going to come down to come help, but they left. I don't know where they went though." Dick added

"If I know Joker..." Bruce frowned "Then I know JUST where to go."

"You know where he's going?" Dick asked

"Yes." Bruce nodded

"He's going to..."


*With Joker*

"... ACE Chemicals!" Joker laughed as he dragged a struggling Harleen into the factory

"Hmm! Hmm he hoo!" Harleen struggled against her bindings and her mouth binding trying to say "Help! Let me go!"

"Oh, oh no Harley! You aren't getting away!" Joker laughed

"You can't leave your precious 'Puddin' can ya?" He asked before he laughed louder. He dragged her through the factory before he pushed her against the wall, his eyes narrowed in anger as he frowned lightly

"H-hhk urr hoo hohha hoo?" Harleen asked in fear her words she tried to say were "W-what are you gonna do?"

"Oh... you'll see." He grinned evilly


*With Bruce*

"Where did you say Joker was taking her?" Barbara asked

"ACE Chemicals. It's the only place he'd go." Batman answered

He was waiting outside, the BatMobile driving up. He then pressed his cowl, activating a communicator "Robin. You here?" He called

"I'm here Batman." Robin answered through his own communicator with a happy tone, although it was a serious moment and he jumped down from behind them, landing between the two

"Gah! Who's this?" Batgirl asked

"Robin." Said Boy Wonder smiled

"Can you ride a motorcycle?" Batman asked Batgirl as he walked to the driver side door of the BatMobile

"Yeah...more or less." Batgirl answered. Batman nodded and pressed a button... and a bat themed motorcycle was disengaged from the back of the BatMobile "Oh...That is cool." Barbara smiled with stars in her eyes, running her hands over the bike in amazement

"...Do I call "Shotgun"?" Robin asked

Batman rolled his eyes and got into the driver seat of the BatMobile


*At ACE Chemicals*

Harley yelled as she fell to the floor from a backhand "Now look what you made me do." Joker spoke with a condescending frown "You go and say you love me and then you betray me like that. You've hurt your dear old Mr J's heart!"

Harleen frowned behind the mouth binding, how was she so blind to this person? How long did he manipulate her?

No.

He was probably doing this from the start.

From! The! START!

Harleen began to turn to her stomach and try to crawl away. Joker tutted and forced her down using his foot, pinning her in place. His foot was in the middle of her back and ground lightly, making her hiss lightly in pain "Now...You have to be punished. But I'm fair...I'm going to give you a second chance." Joker smiled

'A-A second chance? What do you mean?' Harleen cried. He pulled out rope and wrapped her arms behind her back, then wrapped up her ankles... and then he grinned and wrapped more rope around her breasts, between her legs and over her sides stomach and chest in a Japanese Rope Bondage style. Once he did that he laughed, tying more rope to the rope that bound her ankles and tied it to the railings they were on, the two standing on the walkway over several vats of chemicals "HMM!" Harleen cried out as she felt the ropes around her pull and tighten around as she unintentionally moved and that even made the ropes around her body squeeze her breasts a bit and rub her slit

"Oh...This reminds me of the story of Okiku. Have you ever heard of it Harley?" Joker smiled. Harley frowned at that but didn't say anything, letting Joker continue "Once upon a time, there was a maiden called Okiku. She was betrothed to a lord, but another wanted her. So, the other began told her "Become mine and you won't die". She refused, over and over...So then...the second lord bound her and began to drown her in a well." Joker answered, giving a VERY abridged version of it. "Okiku died, and a new spirit was born."

Harleen's eyes widened upon hearing that 'He's going to drown me?!' she thought, her blue eyes sparkling in fear as tears fell down her cheeks

"Goodbye Harleen...and welcome back Harley!" Joker smiled and then h kicked her over the edge of the railing. Harley screamed as she fell... only to suddenly stop, looking 'up' to see her head inches from a vat of green liquid. Looking 'down', fighting against the ropes, she saw that the rope connected to the ropes binding her ankles tied to the railings, stopping her an inch from the chemicals "Feel the adrenaline yet?" Joker laughed

Harley yelled, struggling against her bonds in fear "SOMEONE HELP!"

"I forgot to mention...The second lord didn't drown her STRAIGHT away. He toyed with her." Joker answered pulling her back up, the ropes rubbing and pulling against Harleen's body through her costume.

"You... bastard." She muttered after she finally spat the gag from her mouth

"I'll write that on Harleen's tombstone." Joker laughed

"Let her go Joker!" Batman frowned, landing behind him

"Ah, Bats...Glad you could join the moment." Joker smiled "Poetic isn't it? Same location, but new players."

"I won't let you do this." Batman frowned as Robin and Batgirl landed either side of Joker, cornering him

"Wow, gotten some help have you? What happened to just our game of "Me and You"?" Joker frowned

"This was never a game." He frowned seriously

"It was to me." Joker pretended to cry "And now you've gone and ruined it." He spoke and used the rope that Harleen was dangling from and swung to a different platform

"AHHHHHHH!" Harleen swung, scared the rope would break and she would fall in

"HARLEEN!" Robin called down

"Ooh! Friends of hers...This WILL be fun!" Joker smiled and so... he pulled out a knife Their eyes widened as Joker began to press the blade against the ropes. "One wrong move Bats...And she takes a plunge."

"No." Bruce frowned. He was the world's greatest detective. He had to think of something.

"Harleen!" Robin yelled

"Tick toc Bats...It's getting thinner." Joker smiled as the blade began to slowly cut through the rope

'Harleen's dangling by a thread, Joker's on the other side of this platform and he's not giving us ANY chance to grab her before she falls in the chemicals. I have to trick him.' Bruce thought to himself "How about game Joker?" He lied

"Huh?" Batgirl and Robin asked

"A GAME? All this time of playing mine, YOU'RE making one?" Joker asked as he ceased cutting the rope

"It is only fair." Batman nodded "You made us play a game that lead to you being the Joker. It's only fair that we play one now when you want to make someone like you."

"Oh Bats!" Joker 'swooned' holding his hands over his 'heart' "I've FINALLY rubbed off on you!"

"How about something simple. A pop quiz." Batman said calmly and simply

"A quiz?" Robin, Batgirl and Harleen asked in shock

"A pop quiz? That's hardly a game Batman." Joker answered

"About our 'game'." Bruce added, meaning he'd be quizzing Joker about their long time battle "Three questions. You get them all right and you can drop Harleen. And I will jump in as well. If you get even one wrong you give her to me and return to Arkham."

"OOH! Those are some HEFTY stakes Batman." Joker answered as he pondered holding the knife in his mouth, and the point of it prodding against the rope

'Dad, what're you doing?' Robin thought

'I hope you know what you're doing Batman!' Batgirl gulped

'Please...Don't let him drop me...' Harleen cried as she was still dangling by the constantly abused rope but as she looked at Batman... she felt at ease, even if she did not know why

"Oh very well, why not?" Joker waved off, laughing

'He's accepted.' Robin and Barbara thought as they gulped and surmised the location, hoping they can get Harleen. They had realized Bruce is trying to stall

"First question. What did you try to kill me with the last time I caught you?" Batman asked

"Oh that's an easy one." Joker laughed "An giant vat of acid!"

"Correct." Batman answered "Next question."

'Oh man...' Barbara thought

"Why can't I help?" Robin whispered in anger, trying to see some form of opening

"When we first fought in this place, how did you fall in the vat of chemicals?" Batman asked next

"We were on this very platform, the barricade was broken and I fell in." Joker answered

'Wait... he's doing easy questions! But... but why?' Barbara realized and thought in shock

"Last Question Batman...Last chance..." Joker smiled greatly, his grin reaching his ears and his teeth even more exposed than normal. He slowly reached down, planning on cutting the rope

"Yes... what is my secret identity?" Batman finished with the tiniest of smiles, which Joker couldn't see

"Wh-What?" Joker's grin shrunk just slightly

"What. Is. My. Secret identity?" Batman answered again with the same question. Making Joker's grin shrink down into a frown in shock. The ONE thing he couldn't answer

"You... cheeky bastard." He glared

"Third question Joker. What's the answer?" Batman asked. A victorious feel spread throughout our heroes and Harleen, expecting Joker to back up enough or to attack Batman in anger... but he laughed and the feeling was instantly lost

"... ha, nice try!" Joker laughed, grinning his insane smile "But I play by MY rules!" And with that... he cut the rope

"No!" Batman yelled, jumping after a screaming Harley

"After him!" Barbara yelled, she and Robin chasing after the running and laughing Joker

Batman shot his grapple hook onto the roof and reached for Harley. The girl looked at him in fear... and then fell into the vat, the chemicals splashing a bit as her scream of pain filled the air and with her arms and legs tied she could drown "Harleen!" Batman yelled as he swung to the floor and began to drain the vat of the chemicals.

Up above Joker continued to run, even WITH his gunshot wound. Batgirl and Robin continued to chase after him; Dick, being more adept with parkour, was getting closer than Barbara even though she was older. 'I am NOT being shown up by a kid!' Barbara thought, throwing a bolo that wrapped around Joker's legs which caused him to trip and land face first

"Great shot." Robin smiled as he leaped on Joker's back to tie him up but Joker got out of the ropes and kicked him in the face

"Nice try, but I'M not staying put." Joker laughed as he aimed his flower at them

"What's that do?" Robin asked

"Not much." Joker squirted his flower and acid began to melt the wires holding the platform. Robin frowned and threw Birdarang's at Joker, pinning Joker to the platform while Robin jumped from the platform "Look out below." Joker laughed as he just hung from there

Back with Bruce, he saw the level of the chemicals our down from the vat, it was now the last 12% and dropping, there was a chance that Harleen was still alive. "Come on, come on." He muttered, wanting the liquid to drain faster and check on her

"Chemical vat containment: 1% and decreasing" the computer spoke

"Good enough!" Batman spoke as he grapple-gunned his way up to go after Harleen. He saw her laying on the floor of her vat, her back to him "Harleen...Please be alive." Batman whispered as he turned her around. He gasped as he saw her. Her skin was snow white, her lips blood red and they were in a mad smile. She coughed as she gazed up at him her eyes snapped open with wide pupils turned to pin pricks….. and then she began to laugh "Harley. Harley!" He yelled in fear, shaking her

Harleen continued to laugh, until she calmed down looking at Batman who held her close "B-B-Bat...Batman...?" She shuddered in fear, her eyes filled with pure terror

"Harleen... It's me." Bruce said, seeing the crazed look in her eyes. He could see the sanity leaving her eyes

"Batman, Batman, Batty-Batty Batman!" Harley laughed as she spoke in sing-song

"Harleen... please." Bruce cried gently, not wanting to lose a friend. He reached up, and slid his cowl back. Revealing his face

Harleen saw Bruce's face, his crying face...And she stopped laughing, stopped singing...And she shuddered in place she was coming back. Not a lot but enough to stay sane. Enough to be Harley "B-Bruce...?" She asked seeing into Bruce's eyes

"Harleen. You're okay." Bruce smiled, hugging her lightly

"B-Bruce...I...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." She cried into his shoulder

"It's okay Harleen. It's okay." He soothed
