pedrofaria339: No. We are mixing together two different versions of her origin. The classic one, where Joker just makes her crazy, and the New52 one where he pushed her into a vat of chemicals to make her 'like him'
te . nellis: BatRope are the same as the grappling hooks, just a refined concept. And Harley is falling, gravity is a thing. He could shoot the grappling gun but there is no guarentee the hook will grab her in time, or he may misjudge her falling speed and miss entierly. Jumping and catching her, and THEN using the grappling hook is the safest option.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
pedrofaria339: Harley's first origin is best explained in the episode "Mad Love". In the New 52 Reboot, she worked hard to get where she was in Arkham Asylum; until she disguised herself and got close to Joker, then he leads her to ACE Chemicals where she now has her new look. We just took different pieces of the origins and made a tangible origin for her.
Shadow Joestar: Yep, let's hope it stays that way.

Author's Notes:
Wow you all seemed to like the last chapter. Well here we go with the next one!
Batman: A Different Path
Chapter 13: Return of the Mind
Joker laughed as he was put into a police van, bound. As he was taken away to Arkham Asylum, Harley...Harleen was being escorted to Gotham General Hospital. Batman, Robin and Batgirl oversaw that she was taken with care. She was laying on the stretcher, one of her boots having fallen off which showed all of her skin HAD been died white "I can't believe that happened..." Barbara frowned
"Will she be okay?" Dick asked
"I don't know...But I got through to her...Maybe enough so she can be pulled back." Batman spoke sadly even though his face didn't give away any emotion but Dick knew he was upset
"So...Head back to the Clock-Tower?" Barbara asked
"...Later." Batman answered "I will meet you there."
"What're you going to do in the meantime?" Robin asked
"Get to work." Batman said, zipping away and heading back to Wayne Manor without Barbara noticing
"Well...Nice teaming up with you Robin." Barbara spoke
"You too Batgirl." Robin shook her hand. They shook hands before Dick took off after Bruce back home
'What a night...' Barbara thought as she swung off to the Clock-Tower before she remembered about the BatCycle "Oh yeah...Doy..." She swung back and drove off in the themed motorbike. She was still new to it and not that good, plus she was still in her thin homemade suit, so she felt the roar of the engine between her legs as she rode "Hhooo...God..." She shuddered as the motorcycle vibrated between her legs 'I'm gonna need to calm down after this...' She drove fast, swerving between cars and other vehicles as she raced towards the ClockTower but all the while she felt the unfamiliar rumble of the bike "Hmm..." She bit her lower lip to concentrate as she ended at the Clock-Tower. She parked the BatCycle into a secret garage in the tower, stumbling off "Oh...Is that what people mean by 'Release to freedom on the road'...?" she muttered
She had to admit, she liked it... she should probably get a thicker or padded costume "Note to self...Talk to Batman...about a thicker costume..." She mumbled with a blush on her cheeks. She was very worked up, blushing as she felt how warm and wet she was in her suit "Hmm...M-Maybe...?" She thought to herself, thinking back to her sex-ed class she had. Her face was tomato red and her body shook 'Oh...Bathroom!' She blushed as she ran inside.
*With Batman*
Bruce arrived home, walking inside "Bruce! Dick! Thank goodness..." Pamela ran to them as the father and son team came through.
"Pamela..." Bruce sighed happily seeing his girlfriend safe
"Hey mum..." Dick followed suit as he hugged her too
"What happened?" She asked in fear
Dick sighed heavily "Joker...He..."
"He tried to corrupt Harleen...But, she's safe now. She's at Gotham General." Bruce answered
"Oh Harleen." She muttered sadly "Should... should we go visit?"
"In a few hours...But right now she needs rest." Bruce answered. Pamela nodded, sighing as she hugged her boys "How're you and Alfred?" Bruce asked
"He's fine, we're both fine..." Pamela answered
"I...I'm gonna go to bed now...I'll say goodnight to Alfred; okay?" Dick spoke
"Okay... you did great Dick." Bruce smiled, patting his shoulder
"Thanks Dad." Dick smiled lightly "Good night." He hugged his adoptive parents and headed to find Alfred
"Did he really do that good?" Pamela smiled lightly
"He pinned Joker to a platform, when the coward tried to run." Bruce answered
Pamela smiled at that, hugging him "You trained him well."
"That I did...but Barbara did well ensnaring him as well." Bruce smiled
"Speaking of...Where is she?" Pamela asked
"At her base of operations. I'm sure she's fine." Bruce smiled
*With Barbara*
Barbara was currently in the toilet in the tower her fingers currently wet from her exposed twitching vagina which, and who can blame her, was stimulated from the Batcycle. She moaned, licking her fingers before sliding them back inside "HMM! S-So good!" She panted as she continued to stimulate her vagina and clitoris trying to replicate the effect of the motorbike. She shuddered, falling to her knees as her fingers where covered in her cum "Ahh...G-God...S-So good..." She moaned in satisfaction. She smiled as she calmed down before pulling the pants of her costume back up, as well as her gloves. Once she was done she walked to the main computer room and decided to just check the internet
'Okay...Time for work...' She thought. She looked through different news stories, learning about different heroes. She noticed information in Central City, Star City and Metropolis; each pertaining to vigilantes and superhuman feats but as she came to the flies about Metropolis... she froze as she looked at one image. It was a blonde girl, who looked her age, who was flying... and she was beautiful "W-Whoa...She...She's gorgeous..." Barbara blushed.
The blonde girl in question had hair going down to her back, flowing with her red cape with gold accent, she had a long sleeved blue shirt that had an exposed midriff, across her C-Cup chest was a gem shaped yellow hexagon with red outline and a capital red "S" in the recent. Around her waist was a blue miniskirt with a golden yellow belt and her feet were covered with shin high red boots
Barbara blinked, looking at a picture of the girl catching a falling train. She was amazed... and then she blinked, realizing what she had been thinking "Oh... my... GOD!" She blushed "I was checking out a GIRL!" "Oh god, oh god, oh god!" She put her hands to her head and panicked "I was... I was checking out a girl! Why?! I... I'm straight right?"
"Oh...Wait...wait...I-I was just..."Playing" with myself. It's probably just rushed hormones...Yeah...that...that's probably it." she told herself, but the blonde... looking at her all Barbara could see was beauty and she made her heart flutter and her cheeks red 'Hmm...Why am I infatuated with this girls' picture?' She chastised herself as she rubbed her head and hair trying to make sense of it but she did notice a wet spot on her costume
"Oh god! I thought I dried that spot!" She blushed but as she stood up and went to the bathroom, pulling her pants back down she found... she was wet again "Oh man...Am-Am I REALLY a les-?" She bit her fingernails but didn't cut them off "N-no, I can't be...C-Can I?"
*With Harleen*
Harley, or Harleen, was lying in bed and looking at the ceiling with a mad grin on her face. She may have been looking at the ceiling...but she wasn't seeing it, actually she wasn't paying attention. Her mind was elsewhere, she was trying to figure out WHO and where she was. Well she knew who she was but it was more like her mind was remaking itself. Inside her mind her memories and her senses were changing themselves, almost as if to compensate for the trauma she had suffered
When she awoke she wouldn't be Harleen Quinzell anymore. She wouldn't be the Harley Quinn that Joker wanted either. She would be something new, somewhere between the two. But one thing remained... she remembered Bruce's face and that he was Batman. And with the way her mind was reforming that would lead to... interesting results.
She felt the tingle she had when she was around Bruce, she felt the warmth when he hugged her, the flood of emotions when she saw his face under the mask... One word left her lips as she stared upwards "... Bruce." she whispered her lips curling into a creepy yet loving smile...
*Back with Bruce and Pamela, time skip next morning*
Pamela and Bruce were awake yet still in bed, both of them cuddling each other as they needed the contact. It was the next morning, sun washing over them but neither wanted to get up "Are you alright?" Pamela asked kindly
"I'm just worried." Bruce answered
"About Harley?" She asked again, to which Bruce just nodded "I'm worried to..." Bruce sighed, kissing her neck gently "How do you think Dick is taking it?" Pamela asked
"I think he'll be fine." Bruce nodded
"Good...I'd hate for him to get hurt..." Pamela snuggled into him.
Bruce nodded, hugging her close
*With Dick*
Dick was getting up, his own body felt heavy. Mostly from the weight of seeing Harleen like she was. He rubbed his eyes, sighing 'No sleep...' He sighed heavily and sadly. He rubbed his eyes, yawning as exhaustion shook his body 'I'm going to be yawning all day...' Dick sighed. He rubbed his eyes again, going downstairs. As he swayed lightly going downstairs, Alfred saw the young master and frowned. He had seen this sight all too often when Bruce started out as Batman
"Are you okay Master Richard?" He asked gently
"I had a rough night..." Dick explained
"...would you like a drink?" The butler asked
"Please." Dick nodded
"Would you like some OJ?" he smiled "Or something similar?"
"Apple...if that's okay." Dick nodded
"Of course it is." Alfred smiled lightly
"Thank you." Dick answered. He patted his shoulder before the two went to the kitchen
Back upstairs Bruce and Pamela were getting the motivation to get out of bed, both of them wanted to go check up on Harleen. They got out of bed and got dressed keeping close. Bruce wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of the right words. The same with Pamela, she wanted to say...ANYTHING, to her Harleen was more than just her therapist...she was a friend. The two held hands, down together. In the kitchen, Dick was sitting down drinking his apple juice as Alfred was making pancakes "... morning Dick." Bruce smiled
"Morning..." Dick waved back slowly to them both
"Master Richard has had a rough night's sleep Master Bruce." Alfred explained
Bruce sighed and nodded sitting next to him and patting his back "It's okay."
"We've had a rough night too." Pamela added
"I'll put the kettle on." Alfred spoke kindly
"Thank you Alfred." He nodded
*At the hospital*
Harleen's condition was stabilising, the nurse who was checking up on her had told the doctor that her maddened grin had crawled to a happy smile. She yawned, stretching as her mind finished 'rebooting' "Hmm...That...was a weird dream..." She mumbled to herself. She looked around with a grin "Hmm...I wonder...? Wait...I remember...Fuzzy..." Harleen thought to herself "... Brucie!" She grinned. The sudden word from her lips alerted the orderlies who were just outside the door. They all blinked, jumping back "Hello." Harleen smiled and waved kindly to the orderlies
"Er... are you okay?" One gulped
"I'm fine...But what's with your looks? You look like you've seen a ghost." Harleen answered
"You were talking in your sleep." a nurse explained "Plus your... well... accident."
"My...My accident?" Harleen tried to remember...and then it slowly dawned back on her. The chemicals
The fall
Joker
The gripping madness
And then...Batman...And Bruce
The calm washing over her. She hugged herself, smiling as she giggled gently
"Are-Are you alright? We may need to examine you...Ms Quinzel...?" The doctor spoke
"I'm fine!" She giggled
"Um...okay." The nurses spoke
"Is Brucie coming?" She asked happily, like an exited child
"... Brucie?" A doctor asked
"Yeah, he's got black hair, blue eyes...A winning smile..." Harleen answered
"... do you mean Mr Wayne?" a doctor blinked
"Yeah! Brucie Wayne!" Harleen smiled happily "Is he here?"
"Er... no." a nurse frowned
"Oh...WILL he be here though?" Harley asked, tilting her head
"He... did say he and his family where planning on visiting."
"Really?" Harleen's eyes filled up with happiness and looked at him like a puppy
"Y-Yes." The nurse answered to which Harleen cheered in happiness. The nurses and doctors flinched, some thinking shed just turn into a female Joker
"Um...Can I have some breakfast please?" Harleen asked
"Of course." A doctor nodded
*At Wayne Manor*
"Everyone ready?" Bruce asked, adjusting his cloths
"Yes." Dick answered putting on some respectable but casual clothes
"Same." Pamela nodded
"Okay. Alfred?" Bruce asked
"I already have the car ready Master Bruce." said butler answered
"Thank you." He smiled as everyone went into the car
"Oh wait...I forgot something!" Dick spoke as he quickly went back inside and grabbed a card, running back without a sweat. Bruce raised an eyebrow as the car drove off "Sorry...I got something for Harleen." Dick answered
"What is it?" Bruce asked
"A card." Dick answered. Bruce nodded at that, calming down
"A "get well" card?" Pamela asked
"Yeah, I thought...It would be a thank you." Dick explained
Bruce smiled, hugging his son lightly
*With Harleen*
Harleen sang happily, kicking her feet as she looked at her white skin "Hmm...Guess gettin' a tan is gonna be either easier or impossible now..." She frowned... before she laughed, wiggling her white toes "I won't have to paint myself to become a mime." She giggled and then she was outright laughing, holding her stomach as she rocked back and forth in her laughter "Oh-ho-ho-ho...This is so cool!" She smiled as a knock came from the door. "Come in." Harleen sung
"Harleen?" Bruce said as he, Pamela and Dick entered
"Brucie! Pammy! Dick!" Harleen smiled, bouncing on the bed... and she jumped at them, hugging Bruce
"Hmm!" Bruce hummed as Harleen hugged him.
"Ahem..." Pamela coughed lightly
"Pammy!" She cheered, hugging her
"It's good seeing you up." Pamela sighed, but she was concerned
"Dickie Bird!" she grinned, picking Dick up and hugging him
"D-Dickie Bird?" Dick blinked in worry
"I'm so happy you came to see me." Harleen smiled. She let go of him and then hugged Bruce again, smiling up at him
"How're you feeling?" Bruce asked at her smiling face
"Great B-Man!" She sang as she hugged him tightly, grinning happily
"B-Man?" The doctors questioned thinking that this was just Harleen acting eccentric, but Pamela and Dick's face colours drained.
""Bruce-Man" I imagine." Bruce answered. She giggled and kissed Bruce's cheeks and neck
"Har-leen!" Pamela spoke with widened eyes in shock
"Eh... I like the sound of Harley more, Red." The blonde shrugged with a grin
"Harley?" Dick and Bruce asked
"Red?" Pamela asked
"Cause you're red like a rose." Harley answered. She then did something that shocked everyone... she kissed Pamela on the lips
"HARLEEN!" Bruce and Dick gasped
"Hmm?!" Pamela hummed in shock and pulled back "Harley, are you mad? You're going to die!"... But she was fine, grinning at her "Err...How're you not dead?" Pamela asked
"Dunno, don't care. I LIKED that." Harley answered kissing Pamela again and when she broke the kiss she then kissed Bruce on the lips "Hmm...I like this better though..." She smiled
The Wayne's blinked in shock at this
"I think we shall vacate. We'll give you some time alone." The doctors spoke and then they all quickly left
"...Well that happened." Pamela commented
"Um...Harle-y...We...We've gotten you this." Dick spoke handing over the letter
"Oh! Thank you!" She grinned, taking the letter and opening it quickly. On the front were the words "Get Well Soon" written in calligraphy with a vine motif around the edges. Harley smiled happily, opening the card. Inside she began to read the message: "To Harleen. We can only guess how you're feeling now, but so you know: you aren't alone. All of us are here to help you. Get Well Soon. Bruce, Pamela, Alfred and Dick." She read off "Awww! Thank you!" Harley grinned, hugging Dick
"Um...It...It's no problem." Dick smiled, accepting the hug. Harley giggled happily, fluttering her eyelashes at Pamela and Bruce
"What're you thinking Harley?" Pamela asked
"Can't say in front of innocent little Dickie!" She giggled
"Um...Shall...Shall I go then?" Dick asked in worry
"Aww! Don't you wanna spend time with Mama Harley?" She pouted playfully, soon giggling lightly
"M-m-m-m-mama...Harley?!" Dick mumbled but Bruce and Pamela said it normally in shock
"I... think she's joking?" Pamela said, hopefully
"Harley...ARE you joking?" Bruce asked
"He-he-he...Maybe..." Harley giggled. She then ushered Dick outside and closed the door "So...B-Man...Red..." Harley smiled with a purr to her voice, getting closer to him and Pamela
"Yes Harleen?" Bruce asked, worried about the look in her eyes
"What do you think? Us...All three, being together?" Harley smiled
"You... where serious?!" Pamela's jaw dropped
"I've loved Brucie for a while but I was blinded by that jackass Joker and you're my best friend... besides Brucie... so I'd happily share with you Red!" She grinned, nodding excitedly
"I...I'm not sure how to respond to that." Pamela answered
"Yes?" Harley pushed, leaning closer to Pamela so their lips where nearly touching
"I...Bruce, help?" Pamela blushed
Bruce was lightly frozen at the sight, his mind trying to process what was happening. On the one hand Harley was free from the Joker...But on the other hand she was offering to be in a tryst with him and his girlfriend!... And she DID seem to actually BE insane on some level... But... Could she be rehabilitated like Pamela? Is it possible to help her become sane? And as he realised what was going on... he saw that Harleen had Pamela pinned tongue wall and was making out with her lustfully and happily. Harley had her hand tangled in Pamela's red hair and the other resting on her hip, holding her close 'Oh my god...' Bruce's eyes widened
"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." Harley moaned happily as she and Pamela embraced. She pushed Pamela onto the bed, not stopping the kiss as she straddled the shocked woman... and showing off her bare snow white back and ass
"Oh my god..." Bruce gulped
"Red...You're so soft..." Harley smiled
"H... Harley?" Pamela blinked on shock
"It's nice...Ever have a wet dream about a friend?" Harley smiled
"... maybe?" She gulped
"I felt the same about you and Bruce...Sometimes one." Harley answered kissing her "Sometimes the other..." she kissed again "But more often...Both." She tongue kissed her.
Pamela was shuddering now, unable to stop herself from kissing back
"Both? Harley...I'm flattered...Surprised...And flattered." Bruce answered as well.
"Then come over here Brucie." She purred
Bruce gulped and looked at her then the door. He wondered if Dick could hear anything but then the playboy and male in him kicked in and he turned to the girls and walked over, leaning over them "No sex. We are taking our time. Wait until you get out of here." he said before he kissed her
"HMM...H-hmm..." Harley hummed happily as she melted in his embrace
"So... we're a threesome now?" Harley grinned
"...I guess we are in a sense..." Pamela blushed
"Sounds... interesting." Bruce nodded
"YAY!" Harley cheered, hugging them both
"Oof...Well...I guess we're together now?" Pamela smiled
"True...But we need to lay down some rules." Bruce answered
"Oh! Rules?!" Harley groaned
"Yes, rules. If you don't...you won't get any "play time"." Bruce answered
"Fine." she pouted
"Don't worry...They'll be fair." Bruce smiled kissing her lips
"What are they?" Pamela asked as Harley 'melted' again
"Harley will need to check in with a professional psychiatrist." Bruce answered "No "sexy teasing" in front of children." He thought of two he deemed "Absolute"
"But I AM a psychiatrist! I KNOW I'm fine! And I would NEVER do that!... on purpose. I DID ask Dickie Bird to leave remember?" She pouted
"Just being cautious." Bruce answered "But do you agree?"
"... fine." she huffed like a child
"There we go." Bruce smiled kissing her. She smiled happily up at him, fluttering her eyelashes at him
"Should I be concerned?" Pamela pouted
"Of course not..." Bruce answered. He turned to her and kissed her gently... And then he kissed her again for the antidote.
"You're lucky Red." Harley teased
"No I'm not." She frowned
"You've got a wonderful man. You've got a great son. You've got a heck of a lesbian lover...Why don't you think you're lucky?" Harley asked
"My reply is that YOU have the same stuff. And my lips are poisonous and I can't conceive a child." Pamela sighed
"You...Pammy!" Harley teared up and hugged her in apology "I'm so sorry Red!" She cried
"I...Th-thank you Harley..." Pamela sniffed. Bruce sighed sadly and hugged both of them
On the other side of the door, Dick was waiting patiently with Alfred. He was trying to think of something to do nice for Harley "Are you okay Master Richard?" Alfred asked
"I am...I dunno. I want to do something nice for Harley and Mum...But I don't know what to get them or what to do." Dick answered with a frown and sigh
"Perhaps I can teach you how to cook?" He smiled
"Really?" He asked in amazement
"Yes. It's never too early to learn. PLUS you'll be self-dependent when you are older." Alfred answered
"Thank you, Grandpa!" He smiled, hugging him happily
"Of course Master Richard." He rubbed the young ward's head in a fatherly fashion. He chuckled, smiling
