Joker paced around the hideout. He was frustrated. "Where the hell is that girl?" He put his fist through a wall.
Ivy snuck inside and seen his rage. "Hey J... That wall didn't do anything to you."
"Woman I'm not in the mood for this! I'm warning you to leave." His back to her still. He hadn't moved from his position.
"I have some information you might be interested in."
"Talk but make it fast. I'm in the mood to kill."
"I know Harley is missing."
"Tell me something I don't already know or you're salad woman!" His eyes fiery red.
"Selina told me the Bat has her."
He turned to face her. "Leave it to her to get captured by ol' Batsy...she can't do anything right. Well I guess the plan just goes into effect sooner than expected."
"Plan? What plan?"
"Where we take over the Bat cave and control Gotham." He grinned.
"You're crazy J but I want to help."
He looked at her. "What can you do to benefit me woman?"
She snapped her finger and vines suddenly wrapped themselves around Joker.
"Okay fine! You can help but stay out of my way. I don't like you."
Ivy grinned.
...
Harley looked at Batman. "Hey Bats I'm hungry! What do Ya got around here for a girl to eat?"
He looked at her. "I thought you just ate blood now. You mean you can eat normal food too?" She nodded. "Interesting. Okay what do you want?"
"Got any pizza? But hold the fish I hate fish." The thought made her feel sick to her stomach. She sat at the table watching him talk on the phone. She wondered what J was doing and why he hadn't tried to find her yet.
"Ya know Batsy I'm surprised Mister J hasn't tried to find me yet."
"He doesn't love you Harley. It's all a lie."
She slapped him. "How could you say something like that? Of course he loves me! If not he woulda killed me already."
He mumbled under his breath. "Harley you are a vampire! He already has killed you."
"Oh... Right. I forgot about that detail. Hmm but still. He cares for me." She walked over and stared at his computer screen. "What Ya doing? You seem so focused."
"I'm working."
"What are all those numbers? How do you tell what's what?"
"Harley please. Shut up!"
"Sorry bats but you are the one who brought me here. I still don't see why!"
"I'm going to cure you."
"Say what?"
...
Few hours later...
Harley sat inside a cell staring at the bars and concentrating. "Ugh! Why doesn't it work!"
"What now?"
"I can't escape these bars because they should be moving or blowing up or something but they ain't! Why!"
"Because you're a vampire Harley, not a super freak."
"Well I thought some vampires had special powers. This stinks!" She crossed her arms and legs and pouted.
Batman laughed. "You used to be so intelligent Quinn. Why did you let the Joker bring you down this low?"
"I still am intelligent Batsy! I'm smart, bright, pretty, uh, cute, uh..."
A familiar voice came from across the cave. "Did she mention annoying?" Joker came crashing inside the Bat cave.
"Oh Mister J I knew you would come save me!"
He ignored her and went to Batman who Ivy had wrapped in her vines so tight. "Joker! How did you find us?"
"Oh... Did she not tell you Bats? We are connected as one now. You can't keep us apart for too long because we always find a way back together."
"I love you pudding!" Harley yelled. He continued to ignore her. She sat on the chair in her cell annoyed that he had yet to rescue her.
"Not now Harley daddy is busy working..." He turned his attention back to Batman. He punched him. "Now where were we? Oh right..." He punched his gut.
Batman grunted in pain. The vines cutting the circulation off in his body. He managed to get his hands on a his knife and cut through one making Ivy hiss in pain and let go. He grabbed Joker and tossed him across the room. "It's over Joker!" He held his knife over his heart.
Joker lay there laughing. "You won't kill me Bats. I know you."
Bruce looked at him and before plunging the knife into his heart pulled out a syringe and jabbed it in instead. Joker began to cough up blood then passed out.
"No!" Harley screamed and fell to her knees crying. "Why did you kill him? Why?"
Batman looked at her. "He was already dead." He picked up his body and placed him inside the Bat Mobile.
"Don't leave me here! Please..." She begged.
"I will be back for you later." He got in the car and drove off with the Jokers body into the darkness of the late night.
...
Harley sat crying in her cell inside Arkham. She was in a straight jacket and rocking back and forth. Black stained her cheeks from her make up and tears mixed. She kept repeating "He killed him. I hate him! I love my Mister J and I will get my revenge." She heard an explosion and turned to see smoke. She coughed. Her vision was blurry from the fog. "What's happening?"
"Hello doll." Ivy stood in front of her cell with the key.
"Ivy?"
"Yeah it's me." She unlocked her cell and quickly unstrapped the restraints and the jacket. "I'm getting you out of this hell. Are you alright?" She nodded. "Good. Let's go!"
She took her hand and together they broke free of the asylum. Never once looking back. Harley smiled for the first time in over a week. Even though her Mister J was dead she was finally free and was going to have to learn to live again. She knew Ivy would help her. Together they would get their revenge...
