"Ivy? What brings you out to these parts of Gotham?" Selina Kyle stood outside looking at an old friend

"I was looking for a friend but I'm afraid it's too late for her."

"Why do you say that?"

"Joker got to her first."

Selina was confused. "Did he kill her?"

Ivy laughed. "No worse. He screwed her and then killed her."

"What? Joker actually raped a girl? He has changed…"

"No I meant Joker has suddenly become a vampire beast and he changed her."

"You mean Doctor Quinzel? I heard Batman telling Gordon something about her missing a few days back and I thought I heard Jokers name come up. Wait she was his doctor, was she a willing victim?"

"Apparently."

Few night later…

Harley walked around an alley kicking an empty soda can talking to herself. "Go out on the street Harley, see if you can find this Harley…" She mimicked the orders given to her by her Mister J. She questioned why he couldn't do things himself for a change. She was tired of being pushed around like a toy and being told to obey like some animal. She heard something and got quiet but as she observed her surroundings, nothing. "Huh oh well must have been my imagination." She started skipping into another part of the alley and suddenly she found herself tripping as a rope wrapped around her leg and snapped. "What the fuck?" She rolled over and her eyes met with a woman wearing all black. She looked like a cat. "Nice uh, kitty?"

"Don't move or I will hit you again." Cat woman stood there face to face with who she assumed was Harley Quinn. "Now what are you doing out here all alone? Is the Joker with you?"

Harley laughed. "No Mister J sent me out by my lonesome self. But if you ask me why I don't know."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, and even if I did I'm not telling you!" She stuck her tongue out.

"Don't make me use this!" She flashed her whip.

"Try me kitty…" Harley started cartwheeling down the alley and doing back flips. When the whip snapped and hit her back. "Owe! You didn't have to hit me now!" She turned to look at the woman. "Okay cat lady what do you want from me?" She had her hands on her hips.

"You should come with me, it's not safe out here." She tried to warn her.

"I am not afraid of nothing sweetheart! Sorry to burst your bubble but I have something I have to do for Mister J. See ya later alligator… La la la de da" She hummed and skipped away only to feel a sharp pain in her neck. "I feel sleepy. Everything is spinning..." She yawned then fell over and everything went black.

Selina wrapped her whip around Harley so she wouldn't be able to break free when she woke up.

"Thank you Selina." Batman leaped down from the roof top. He looked at the now bound Harley and took his own rope and tied her inside the bat-mobile.

"What are you going to do with her?"

"Keep her safe from him for now, maybe even run a few tests on her blood."

"Don't hurt her Bruce. She is human deep down inside."

"Only if she tries to harm another would I take lethal action towards her." He stepped inside the car and sped off.

Selina leaned against the wall. She didn't know whether to feel guilty or not. She had just helped Batman capture Doctor Quinzel.

"Where is that girl? She should have been back hours ago!" He seen it was almost dawn. He pointed at a few of his men. "You you and you go find her and don't come back without her!"

"Yes sir!" In unison they all filed out to search for the missing Harley Quinn.

"I swear when she gets back she's getting a good beating! Daddy does not like his girl disappointing him."

Inside the bat cave…

Harley opened her eyes as she started coming to. "Where, where am I?"

"You are inside my home, the bat cave." A deep voice said.

She looked around and seen Batman standing across the room. "What did you do to me?"

"Tranquilizer. Just a mild one nothing to cause any harm to you. Enough to make you sleep."

"How long was I out?"

"Six hours. Can I get you anything Doctor?"

She hadn't been called Doctor in a while. "No I'm fine." She stood up and looked around. "I'm impressed. This place is huge!"

He kept his eyes on her. She was acting normal now but he didn't trust her not to go crazy on him.

"You know Batsy, Mister J and I are connected as one. I don't know what you are planning but you can't keep me here forever because he will find me."

"And what do you think he will do?"

She started tumbling and bouncing around as she spoke to him. "Oh I don't know, maybe kill you? I would do it but Mister J might get mad. That's not part of his plan." She stared at the machine and the blood samples. "What's this button do?" She went to push it but he quickly shoved her out of the way.

"Don't touch anything or I will tie you up."

"You're no fun Bats." She stood in front of him. He grabbed her hand and pricked her finger with a needle.

"OWE! What did you do that for?" He took the drop of blood to be tested. She sucked on her finger. "That hurt ya know?"

"Shut up Quinn!"

"Gesh someone has a temper." She giggled and began skipping in circles trying her best to annoy him.

He wondered what the Joker seen in her. She was crazy. "What did he do to you?"

"He freed me!"

"Freed you? More like made you crazier than he is!"

She stuck her tongue out at him and waved her finger back and forth. "Ah ah ah its not nice to call people crazy Mister Bats!"

"You're serious?"

She grinned.
