"Love, it's a concept that Harley hasn't had the best luck with since she became a adult. So far her love life has spiraled down to people who were jerks to her, or that of psychopathic clowns that try to love her only for Harley to be nothing more then a bullet shield and sidekick. As well with what happened at the bachelorette party didn't help her, as she and Ivy had accidentally slept together. Twice, which lead to a argument of her wanting to be with Ivy. However it couldn't happen due to Pamela's decision of marrying Kite man was to strong, as well explaining to Harley that it wasn't possible. Leaving Harley in a state of sorrow as being upset with how she was feeling, since Harley felt close to Ivy since she's been around her ever since they met in Arkham Asylum. Right now however, didn't look to good as the crazy clown girl was right now at her mall doing something to ignore the pain of having her heart rejected. By drowning it in sorrow as well a lot of drinks, which both Bebop and Rocksteady had to watch seeing how they couldn't leave her like this."
Harley's Mall-Night time
It was a subtle night at the abandon mall, as everyone else had their own plans for the evening. King was hanging out with Catlin at some stores finding some new computers, Clayface with watching the Oscar awards that were happening tonight. June, who was right now in a meditative state due to the party she went it Ivy took a lot out of Enchantress. Olympian magic and her didn't mix, which left her to be placed in a state of unconscious. All in the whole, in one of the stores was Harley. Who was right now jumping on her own bed as well having Bud and Lou hanging out with her. As well several bottles around the side as she looked hammered.
"Come on boys! The bed is bouncy enough for you two!"
Shouting out to the two as both mutants, were outside of the store as well on fold up chairs looking at their boss. Who was doing her best to not look like a mess, as well pretend she was having fun.
"ugh, were ok boss. Just, keep playing with your dogs."
The rhino asked not knowing what to do, they never seen anyone act like this let alone of getting drunk to the point they were both sad and happy at the same time. They didn't know how to deal with this, seeing that this was Harley's problem as well had a lot of emotions.
"Do you, want us to get some food for you?"
The warthog offering something for their boss, though it somehow caused Harley to stop jumping on the bed as well looking at the mutants. It somehow started to make her sniffle which she merely collapses on the bed as well going into a feeble position.
"You guys don't want to hang out with me? Do you."
She questions them which made both Bebop and Rocksteady looked confused, as well getting nervous as this had to be from her drinking. The two tried to convince her that it wasn't true, however she merely threw the bottle at them as the mutants duck from the possibly angry sad clown woman.
"Don't lies to me! No one wants to hang out with the crazy clown girl, not my crew, not my best friend who's getting married. As well that of two mutants."
Now complaining at the fact she felt like everyone was leaving her, in which both Bud and Lou began to growl at both Bebop and Rocksteady for making their owner cry. The two stop moving as well looked at their boss, who looked back at them as well seeing Harley holding a pillow for comfort.
"No way boss, we just thought you'd be hungry from the party you went. That's all, or just might want something else."
Bebop quickly thinking of something to possibly help Harley, though she turns to the two mutants as well had a drunk like expression on her face. Walking over as well hiccupping a bit, she soon leaps at them as well holds onto both Rocksteady and Bebop.
Which made the two collapse on the ground, as well sniffing her a bit with how much Harley had drank a lot. Harley, merely chuckled a bit as well looked at the two thinking they almost looked like their human forms as well nuzzling against the rhino's large like head.
"You know, I never thought it be possible. But, I think your cute. As well really strong, maybe. We could have some fun Rocky~"
Looking directly right up at him, this made Bebop chuckle at his friends dismay as Rock looked back at him growling. Though this sign of aggression got quickly interrupted by Harley climbing to Rocksteady as well still looking at him in a drunk haze.
"I mean, you technically work for me, so you. Can't say no to me, which means. You have to listen to me, as well my needs."
Continuing to not act like herself as well lean her chest to Rock, acting like a college student. A drunk one as Rocksteady merely was nervous, as the white skin woman wrapped her leg around the rhino as Bebop merely laughed at the sight. The rhino tried to not remove her, but keep calm as well saw how Harley was going drag him to the bed.
"Boss? This is really not right. I mean not because your incredibly sexy as well got a chirpy like personality. But your drunk! As well that Ivy, and the whole gang will kill.."
The rhino pleading to stop her from doing something drastic, which was ruin from that of a loud horn interrupting the moment. The hyena's merely got scared as well hid under the bed, to which the sound came from Sy. Who the old man had several cups of empty water bottles as well that of plates. Rocksteady, took the chance and rushed behind the old man almost nervous of what was happening.
"I come from attending the man with the riddle on his head to find Harley all messed up like a girl from 'Sex in the City'. What you two did to the girl?"
Quickly blaming the two mutants for how his friend was acting like this, which made both of the men growl at him. Seeing how this wasn't their fault, let alone of they were responsible with how Harley was acting. Though Harley, merely shook her head trying to regain her sense as well look at the old man as well tried to act sensible.
"I'm fine Sy, just sad about the fact that I'm all alone. As well no one wants to hangout with me, plus I might be single for the rest of my life."
Explaining it while trying to not act so drunk, the old man could see it as well smell it at the same time. Plus of the dried tears on her face, as he grabbed a tissue as well handed it to her. Harley, smiled a bit as well blew her nose trying to regain herself as well thank him for the tissue.
"So what? You don't need a lover to make you happy. Life is about feeding your soul with whatever the heck you like, such as your boys acting like idiots half of the time and destroy something."
Thinking of someone to use as a example, which both mutants looked at him as well looked upset. Harley however, merely kept a sad like expression on her face which meant his kind words wouldn't due anything to help her out. The old man, merely grunted as well had to think of something to get Harley back to her crazy and normal sense.
"Alright! No more nice cyborg grandpa. You two, get Harley sobbed up as well in clean clothes. As well you two, we're going out. Anyone got a problem with that?!"
Acting now like someone in charge, which made the two mutants nod at the old man as they quickly took Harley who was surprised at this. The old man soon moved his wheelchair to where June Moone was at, she was in the hot topic store as well levitating at the same time. Due to what happen on Themyscira, Enchantress needed to recharge on her magic.
"I heard what happen, I wish I could help but. Kind of preoccupied right now."
June stating that she couldn't move due to Enchantress needing to regain her strength, as well couldn't do anything but just reside in June's body. While June, was keeping herself occupied with Queen of Fables story book, which she had obtained as well become it's keeper.
"Yeah, well in the mean time I'm taking the lady and two mutants on a trip downtown. Think you can watch over Enigma dude?"
Asking June which she nodded, seeing how the girl could prove to watch over the most intellectual villain ever. Along making him suffer a lot, as this happened the two heard some scuffling as well noticed that of Harley in a dress that match her color style. As well her hair made nice as well long, the two mutants also saw how they were wearing bow ties as well some long sleeve jackets.
"This was the only thing we could find to wear, besides. Do you have a plan to help our boss out?"
The warthog asked him which Sy nodded, as well pulled out a paper sheet which showed that of a invitation for them. Apparently, Mr. Miracle had invited them over to Wayne tower for a show. With how Harley made Barda happy with the party she threw for her, which included fighting as well facing off Amazonians. It was something she could do for Harley.
"I found this in her bag, thought we go fist the mask man show. So let's get moving state, I'm driving."
Sy explained to them as well had the keys to Bebop and Rocksteady's cruiser, the two men got shocked how the old man had the keys. To which they chased after him trying to get it, Harley slowly gaining her sense. Saw how June was going to be the only one left to look over the Riddler.
"You sure you can handle Enigma? Guy might get into your head."
Getting concern for her thinking that if Enchantress couldn't save her, then there be no chance for her to handle Enigma. June, merely nodded seeing how that he might get into her head with a trick or something.
"I'll be fine, I know how to handle him. Besides, while Enchantress is out of the game. I can still handle myself in whatever crap he can throw at me."
Promising Harley that she be alright, while Harley still felt a bit worried for the girl. She heard that of Bebop and Rocksteady scuffling with Sy over the car keys, giving her a quick hug. Rushing over to the others, June waved to her goodbye as well hopping her friends would be ok with the others.
Along looking inside of the book as she sate down, so far June kept tapped on tabs for the Justice League. They'd had been so far the fairy tale world that Fables sent them in, long with going on their own adventures trying to figure out a way to get out at the same time.
"Even if you free them, you could caused a total shit show as well destroy Gotham. Again."
Spoke none other then Enchantress, as June looked into a mirror as it showed the emerald witch. Having a ice pack over her head as well some coffee, with what happened at the party she needed to rest. Along telling June that Fables was the same power as Enchantress, so if June tried to free them. She could risk the chance of freeing a whole army of enchanted monsters.
"Well, I can still do it. But I want to wait for the right time to tell Harley, it's good that the injustice league and other villains are gone. But, I think the city needs heroes."
Feeling like there had been enough chaos, let alone destruction. As well felt like Superman and the others should come back, after what had happened with the parademons let alone Harley getting Darkseid's attention. It was time to get things back in order, or rather to keep the earth safe from the likes of a new god. Enchantress, was going say something snarky but sneeze due to the hangover she had.
"Kill joy, can't enjoy the fact that I did it for Harley. What your going do? Ruin Harley's chance to being the top next villain?"
Asking her as well teasing June thinking that if she did it, Harley might dislike her. Along the lines of leaving her, although Harley and the others were villains. She and the others had liked her, let alone being unique. As well didn't want her to get upset at this. Holding onto the book she looked at her reflection seeing herself instead of Enchantress, June merely got frustrated as well decided to check out Riddler seeing how he was doing.
Riddler's prison
Heading up the upper level of the mall, June was heading to Riddler to see if he was still doing his 'workout'. Apparently while he couldn't think of a way to get out, the one thing he would do is workout. As well strengthen his body as his mind had already been strengthen enough as it was.
Heading to his prison, the glasses wearing girl saw that of Enigma, who had recently gotten stronger with his appearance. Wearing that of a work out suit as well having his forehead having a question mark symbol, he had defiantly change from a scrawny intellect to a muscular genius.
"It's about time someone came to visit, was getting bored running on this stupid hamster wheel. Toss me one of those snacks would ya?"
Asking June as well still smirking at the same time, though June didn't by it. He was still a jerk as well the same guy who used innocent teenagers to power his university, handing him a apple. He was able to catch it, the girl merely sat down to watch him work out as Riddler merely smiled at her.
"I can tell your team is already falling apart, from how Harley is acting like a total.."
Continuing to talk back at her, the girl merely put on some annoying music causing Riddler to lose his focus on the hamster wheel and spiral out of control. As well collapse right on it, along shocking himself since Harley and Ivy placed a electrical collar on him if he ever stopped. Getting back up he quickly runs more, let alone of June stopping the music.
"That's funny, because your Injustice club isn't exactly team players. As soon you froze Harley and the mutants, you all took a slice out of the city. As well made it into a split country, as well cared about yourselves. For guy who's smart, I thought you understand teamwork."
June explaining how the Injustice League was a means to get the criminal underworld back in order as well do get their own piece of Gotham. Which, Enigma agreed with seeing how it was true. Though, he merely chuckled at the fact that this was about getting them in order.
"Indeed, I never exactly cared about Harvey or the others. But, they did teach me how to know from what a goon and partner was. Such, as this riddle I know. 'To other's I am small, but in mind I am large. My sight may be simple, though my ego is foreboding. To others I see, as a humble man. But in thought I am, rather insane in the mind. What am I'?"
Asking her which made June feel rather suspicious, let alone not so good seeing how June might know the answer. Before she could respond to it, June soon felt a rather disturbing feeling behind her. One of the hyena's begun to bark out loud as the girl quickly moved to the side. Coming right from behind her was that of a para demon, it busted through the ceiling as well destroying the system that kept Riddler in his wheel prison.
"A para demon? How is that possible."
Doubting that they had no quarrel with Harley, let alone would attack anyone without someone in command. Looking above her, she saw a red ominous glow, which came from none other then Dr. Psycho. A member of the Legion of Doom, as well the same one that Bebop and Rocksteady had worked with. Let alone having a helmet over his head, as well having the omega symbol upon it. He was right now in control of the demons, as well him riding a demon as well.
"Sup bitches! Great to see the ones who ruined my life slumming in a shit hole place."
Psycho speaking out loud as well looking directly at June, who she quickly placed her book away so he didn't see it. Along didn't understand what he meant by ruining his life. Which made Psycho looked rather pissed off, seeing how she didn't know about what happen to him.
"Are you serious?! Because of Harley's freaks for not helping me as well forcing me to curse at Wonder Woman! I got kicked out of Legion, my wife broke free of my control and dumped me. So to show I'm the most dangerous and powerful villain, by taking control of these Para demons that didn't return to Apokolips, as well show Darkseid that I deserve to rule his army!"
Explaining his evil plan as this was defiantly a revenge one that was not to take lightly, as well made June realize this was why the Justice League needed to return. So that maniacs like him don't try this stunt.
"Ok, I'll give you that. But, you forgot one thing."
"What? That you have a witch bimbo in you that can kill me? Please. I have a army of demons from a hell planet as well the smartest villain to help me out. What could you possibly think I don't have?"
Doubting the girl as well seeing how there was nothing that June could do, as the para demons were swarming around the mall. As well going to attack her, though before they could. Both Bud and Lou leapt right over the railings and attacked Psycho from behind. The two hyena's mauled on the demon's arms causing the small man to fall right off and hit the ground.
"That I'm not the only one here watching Riddler, dumb ass."
June smirking at him as well rushing over to the two hyena's going to get them out of here before Psycho could sick his demons on them. Both Bud and Lou noticed June as they rushed by her side, as the three tried to make a run for it to the front doors. Though they were stopped by a para demon, looking behind they saw Psycho back on his demon as well Riddler by his side as the three were surrounded.
"You think that was so funny, sending a bunch of bitches to bit me like some chew toy? Well then, let's see how you like it when I make you act like one."
Psycho using the helmet he had on his head to generate a powerful blast at her, June. Pulled out the fables book as well protected herself and the two hyena's, the books magic was strong enough to hold the blast, while for June not so much. The helmet must have amplified his power, so in order to get out. \
She had to come up with something. Closing her eyes, she begun to speak some words in a ancient tongue that soon enough caused her eyes to open slowly. Her body begun to glow along with the hyena's as the three soon exploded into that of energy, the two male villains covered their eyes thinking that Psycho had killed them.
"Well, that takes care of their witch. Now then, our deal. I leave the instructions for the mind control helmet at my university, you get me something else."
Riddler turning to the small villain as they had a deal before he was captured, Psycho pulled out a special vile that was in his old lair that looked like a drink. Riddler caught it in time as well begun to drink it.
"Well hope your drink is going help out, cause we're heading straight for Quinn and her crew next."
Showing a sinister grin as his partner, begun to violent hold himself as well yelled in pain as his veins began to change. Let alone his eyes glow, Psycho merely smiled at this as his revenge would soon be complete upon this night.
Wayne's tower-Night time
The four had just finished watching Mr. Miracles show, it was a simple escape stunt show which was pretty mediocre for Harley. Who was now on the rooftop looking up at the moon, so far it hadn't been like this for a while. Quiet, subtle as well nice for her since she came out of the ice. The others were right now enjoying the show, while she thought it be good to just be here alone. Thinking that it be best to regain her control, along looking at a glass of wine seeing how she was upset with how she felt.
"Drinking isn't going help the pain you know."
Spoke a familiar voice which was none other then Big Barda, who had somehow gotten to recognize how she was feeling. The white skin girl merely noticed how the fury walked over to her, as well how she was in a relationship with Miracle, they were something that Harley wanted with Ivy. Though couldn't due to her friend being married, the tall woman walked over to see if she could comfort her.
"Do you know what a harlequin is? A harlequin's role is to serve. It's nothing without a master. No one gives two shits who I am, beyond that. Whether I'm running with a crew, or being on my lonesome self."
Sounding depress was well explaining what her name as well role actually was, as well how she had her own team. Or by herself, she'd always be a someone no one would care for. Barda, could feel for Harley as she merely tapped her hand on Harley's shoulder.
"On Apokolips, Darkseid told us that we were to bring 'order' to the galaxy. During that time, I was considered a 'Quinn'. Though, when Scott met me. He showed me that, there was more as well being just a pawn. Sure he was a scrawny as well had a big mouth, but he showed me I could be more."
Barda summarizing her origin from being in Harley's position, from being a warrior of a new god to the wife of a stage performer. Harley, didn't see the real point in this which made Barda a little annoyed. Though this was fine, because Harley had a lot to deal with in relationships.
"What I'm saying, is everyone needs to find their own happiness. Whether it be someone you want to spend your life with, or friends that find you amazing."
Telling Harley that she didn't need a man to make her happy, as well give her love. She already had friends that cared for her, even if they had relationships, they'd never leave her side. Harley, merely cried a bit from how the words were able to make sense to her. As well couldn't help but hug her seeing how she needed it. Barda, merely chuckled seeing how this is what Harley needed. To where suddenly it was interrupted by the door opening which showed Miracle, along with Harley's friends. Especially from behind her which was Clayface, King Shark and even Killer Frost as she made a ice slide for the two.
"We got the message, what's happening?"
King sounding rather concern as the others got a text from her, however Harley didn't send a message to them. As well it being strange that all of them came here.
"I didn't send a text, what the hell are you.."
Harley trying to figure out what they meant by a text message, they soon heard a tapping which came from that of a cane. Everyone looked to the side of the door where Miracle and the others went, to which they noticed a familiar sight. Which was the Riddler, who had apparently been mutated in that of a fox humanoid. His fur was mixed with dark green and black, as well him having his Riddler top hat and cane.
"By Doctor Moreau's island of animals! What happened to you?"
Clayface asking the former human as Riddler, merely flickered his new fox tail as well showed them his sharpen fangs as he was delighted to explain this sudden 'change' of his.
"This? Consider it evolution. To a much stronger, and smarter Riddler. To which, I did so by taking both Bebop's and Rocksteady's blood when they were frozen. It took months to make it compatible with my DNA, as well someone. To get it for me, in exchange. For my freedom, and his revenge."
He announced as he raised his cane in the air, which soon enough coming from the building was none other then Dr. Psycho. Who was laughing out loud as well swarming the building with his para demon army. Everyone moved back seeing how they were swarmed with no where to run.
"Well, if it isn't the clown girl who killed her boyfriend. As well ended her friend's life because she was now a drunk waste."
Looking down on Harley, as well showing them that of June's phone. This caused everyone to get frightened as well upset, thinking that he had done something to her. They all kept on their guard seeing how that he had a army ready to kill them on the spot.
"If your going kill me for whatever shit I did, just tell me now."
Harley getting annoyed which this was at least he could do, which Psycho merely groan he had to do it again but make sure no one was behind him as well had complete control over the situation.
"Revenge you dumb clown! For ruining my job at the Legion, as well making Joker lose it and make Gotham into a shit show! So when I saw you had no balls to be a true villain, I decided to get this nice helmet that Riddler stored for me. Hook it up and take control, once I finish you all and show Darkseid I am top villain. He will give me full control of his.."
Before he could keep going on, Rocksteady through a beer can at him making Psycho shut up. They heard this type of monologue at New York, they didn't need to hear it from a dwarf. Growling at the sight, he soon used his powers to try and take control of their minds. The only ones he was able to control was Clayface, King Shark, Bebop, Rocksteady and Killer Frost. Though the only ones that he couldn't take control was the old man and two apokolips couple.
"Why the hell is the old man and circus couple not in mind control."
Asking rather upset, to which Mr. Miracle was right now avoiding some para demons let alone keeping out of claws away of the creatures.
"Because, me and Barda have already spent years being under the service of a new god. As well know how to ignore the control of a small mind like yours, also we're new gods."
Mr. Miracle praising himself and Barda as the couple were doing their best to not hurt Harley's friends, while for Sy. He had a metal plate in his head that blocked out Psycho's control, sure enough everyone was battling on the rooftop as well trying to not get killed.
"Well you bastards are going die in a horrible way, as well not even escape!"
In which he increased his power to creating a telekinetic barrier around them, making it impossible for them to escape this prison. With how much power Psycho had, there was no way Harley or the ones that were free of his control could handle Psycho.
"Ever since your mutant jerk off's ruined my career. Everyone made me into a joke, well not anymore! With the Justice League and Batman gone. I will take control, as well show you what it means to be a true.."
Psycho continuing to talk more at them, he was interrupted by a robot punch from Sy. This sent him onto the ground leaving both Miracle and Barda to fight the others, Sy rushed over to Harley as she had to get out of here.
"Harley, you got to get out of here. Theses people aren't exactly going go easy on you, and the power couple are losing strength."
"But how? There's a barrier right over us and a bunch of demons ready to kill us! How the fuck are we going get out of here."
Asking him thinking there was no way to get out, to which he looked serious as Harley knew that expression. It was the same time of look that most heroes had when they were going to do something noble, which was a bad sign.
"No, no whatever your thinking it's suicide."
Figuring out he might do something which might cost him his life, but just before Harley could stop him. Sy, merely used most of his strength to rise from his chair. Which shocked Harley seeing how he never could walk, but right now he was doing his best to stand up for her.
"Harley dear, I'll admit. When I left the mall, I didn't expect for this to happen. Thought we go out, have some fun and maybe ruin a statue. Though right now, it's time my fun came to a end."
Showing a humble smile to her, while for Harley herself. Could merely stay silent from how he was able to stand for the first time, along not looking afraid to help out Harley. The girl saw how much effort he was to going help her, especially at the cost of his life.
"When I told you about 'feeding your soul'. This is my moment, feeding my soul to do something good. Saving your life, as well kicking the little shit's tuckus."
Informing her as the two saw how Psycho was slowly getting up, Miracle and Barda were doing their best with holding off the demons and Harley's mind controlled minions. But not for long as they were almost over powered, Harley however was right now sad. As she had to lose someone else who cared about her, let alone not be able to come back from this. To where Harley hugged the old man slowly crying as well for Sy, who hugged her knowing this was a painful feeling.
"You were the best landlord I ever had, and. Never gave me shit whenever I did something stupid, as well me commenting you being a robot. No matter how many times you told me that you were a cyborg."
Apologizing for the crap she did to him as the old man merely hugged her like if she was a child, along handing her his right eye. Seeing how no matter where she be, he'd always be there. Giving him a kiss on the forehead, she rushed over to Miracle and Barda as they were going to get out of here. Psycho, notice this as well going to stop her. However, Sy got his attention by whistling behind his back.
"Hey Psycho, thousands of years ago. My people Maccabees, prayed for oil to last when they needed it to most. Unlucky for you. that very same oil. Runs through my veins today!"
As his body begun to glow with a lot of energy, unstable energy which was going critical. Everyone moved back as Sy soon jets himself right off the ground on his wheel chair, as everyone saw him go up like if he was superman, taking the chance. Mr Miracle, grabbed behind the two women's shirts as well to went over the building. To Harley's eyes, she saw Sy screaming to where he hits the barrier, soon enough he exploded the barrier as well himself.
"Don't worry, a escape artist always find a escape!"
Miracle telling them as soon enough, which his feet soon opened that of circular like disks. They were able to carrier the both of the as well fly right out of the barrier along escaping the tower along Psycho's army. To which they were able to get out of there before the demons could attack the three.
Later
In a alley far away from Wayne tower, was Harley who was right now taking her frustration out on some windows, both Miracle and Barda saw how the young woman was feeling like this was her fault. If she didn't bring the demons to Gotham, then Psycho wouldn't have taken control of the army as well her friends.
"Were fucked! I don't know how to handle this! I can't bring Ivy because I'm not letting that asshole Psycho take control over her, as well explain the reason why this happen was because I still love her. And beyond that, he has my friends as well a army of demons."
Stressing herself out as well throwing a rock at another window which was her twenty, Miracle. Merely lowered his head as well breathed deep, in which he removed his mask showing his face, which he had light blue eyes as well black thick hair. He walked over being cautious over the girl, as Harley didn't know what to do.
"Which is why it's best to not give up, as well how that whenever there was something dark. Let alone terrible about to happen, along the lines of me going somehow die in one of my stunts. I always know, a miracle can happen. No matter what shape it takes."
Miracle giving her a ray of hope, let alone something to think about. Though she couldn't believe that with her luck turning out, however it did. The three soon heard that of a barking from the side, which was coming from Bud. Harley, looked shocked as well rushed over to her hyena hugging him almost relived to see him alive. As she was hugging her pet, Barda was detecting something from the animal.
"I'm getting a strange energy from your hyena, like if it was.."
"Magic."
Interrupting Barda as Bud must have came from Enchantress, which meant June was alive. As well had survived, this was that 'miracle' Adam talked about. Taking the opportunity, the three followed the lone hyena to wherever he came from. Which made Harley feel confident, seeing how she wasn't out of this fight just yet.
