Harley was seeing double and her consciousness was fading. "Mistah J?" She mumbled as the smiling figure approached. She felt her head being held by two hands and she puckered her lips for a kiss. The shaking of her head was not what she was expecting and she groggily snapped out of her haze and scowled "Hey! What's the big idea?" She looked into the dark eyes and huffed "Oh it's you...whaddya want B-man?" What she had seen as a smile was more grimace, a seemingly constant feature on the Dark Knight's face.
"Where is she?" He asked in the same gruff, no nonsense tone he always used with her.
He was always so miserable! He should take a leaf outta Mistah J's book, now there's a man who knows how to laugh! She gasped at the thought of her Puddin' and how she needed to get out of here, fast. No nonsense it was then! "Gee I dunno B-man she went off to look for some sneak."
"Why did she leave you?"
"I guess I kinda pissed her off!"
"Surprising."
The sly sarcasm that laced that word raised Harley's eyebrows and she smiled "Hey did the big bad bat just make a funny?"
He simply growled, turned and proceeded to walk out of the room. Harley looked at him in horror.
"Oi! You can't just leave me like this! B-man! Heeeey!"
Without turning Batman simply pulled out a batarang and casually tossed it over his shoulder, it severed several of the vines and when he heard a loud thump he smiled to himself and left catching the batarang as haphazardly as he had thrown it.
Harley fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes as she regained her faculties she huffed and threw one of the severed vines feebly at the doorway through which the Dark Knight had just left. "Jerk!" She yelled after him. She sat on the floor looking at the remains of the plants that had held her captive and shrugged "Red's gonna be mad."
That prompted her to look for her phone, still next to the Venus fly trap looking plant. She reached out only to have her hand snapped at. She pouted. She looked around the room until she spotted where Ivy had hidden her toy and smiled. She retrieved it and went and stood near the offending plant and grinned like a maniac "Knock knock. Who's there? Leaf. Leaf who? Leaf my frickin' stuff alone!" She laughed as she battered the plant head with her hammer until it was nothing more than mulch. She picked up her mobile phone and winced as she selected the Joker's number.
It rang for a long time and then the voicemail kicked in. She hung up and tried again. When he didn't answer for the second time she waited to leave a message.
"Jingle Bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg.
The Batmobile lost a wheel
and the Joker got away"
"Hey there P-Puddin' I'm s-sorry I missed ya call but ya see Red kind had me tied up and I...well...gee I dunno what to say but I'll be home soon Mistah J and ill bring ya something swell you'll see! Mwah! Love ya Puddin'". She hung up the phone shaking...oh boy am I in big trouble.
