Chapter 13

The sky was overcast and dim as Harleen blinked the sleep from her eyes, they still felt raw from her crying the night before and one look in the mirror confirmed they were still red. Her hair was a mess and her make up that she had forgot to take off was roaming all over her face. She felt as if she had been in a bar fight.

Making her way to the bathroom to freshen up, Harley had the feeling that she was being watched, which was ridiculous because she was on the fifth floor and her curtains were cold. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that there were eyes on her, she put it down paranoia over her dream the night before and carried on getting ready, making sure to look her best.

As she got ready her mind wondered to what she had witnessed last night, and how she had reacted to it. She couldn't help the thrill she got from doing something reckless, maybe she should join batman… No that was silly, she could never betray J like that. She would see what he thought about it today.

On the way out the door she grabbed an apple from the small bowl she kept and wondered down the streets of Gotham, wondering how her day would plan out. Having the joker as a patient had definitely changed her life, she never knew she could feel such immense love for someone so dangerous, and although she knew she'd never be allowed the act on her feelings she liked the way his stare made her feel.

When she got to Arkham there was more security on the door than usual and she looked at the guard confused. He explained to her that there had been a murder not far from the asylum and that they believed the people who did it were looking for the joker, apparently the joker's girlfriend has come out of no where and scared them off. Harley felt hot and cold all at once, that man was killed because of J? And people knew of her little bravery act? She tried to ignore the little flush of happiness at being the joker's girlfriend, she was in so much trouble with J.

…

She smiled as she entered the session room and J watched her every move, purring softly when she pulled her chair in, her knees touching his. "Did you hear the news?" Her voice was barely a whisper.

"There was certain buzz around the place today. Preposterous that someone is posing as my female companion, I want you to know Harls that ain't been leading any gals on." He stated matter-of-factly and Harley couldn't help the grin from escaping.

"I know J, that woman was me." She smiled at him and his face dropped, he was shocked.

"Harley, pumpkin pie, what have you been up to?" he growled and her whole body buzzed with the sound of it, damn he knew how to rev her up.

"I-I witnessed a murder Mistah J, it was awful but it made me feel… different so I reacted on adrenaline. Am I crazy?" Harley pouted at him.

"Absolutely bonkers toots, but that's why ya so important to me. Tell me Harls, how'd it feel. Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me." He chanted and rolled his head around on his shoulders, he was mesmerizing.

"It felt… amazing Mistah J. I got this rush when I saw the guy hit the floor that was like jumping outta plane. I felt like I could do anything and those freaks were creepy so I thought I'd scare 'em a little. But they recognized me J, said I was ya girl and ran away. What ya been telling people puddin'?" She smiled coyly.

"I may have been telling people to watch out for a small blonde with an attitude, can't have any of the goons touching my property, don't get a big head those Harls, you're a fun toy but expendable." J warned but she didn't care about that, he had been making sure everyone knew she was his, her whole body hummed in delight. "I want to run our session today baby." He purred and Harley nodded, unable to say no.

"So tell me." Joker sat upright and mimicked the way she sat when acting professional, "what's ya poison Miss Quinsel."

"Well you see doc," she started, playing along to his game, "I was meant to be curing this man of his insanity, and I mean he's totally insane, a real nutcase." She winked. "But instead he's gone and made me as mad as he is, and you know what the real kicker is? I think I might be in love with him." She looked straight at Mistah J and he closed his eyes, making a sound of strangled pleasure deep in the back of his throat.

"Come to daddy pumpkin," he opened his arms for and she made a little squeak, jumping into his arms and snuggling into his lap. "You're a good girl Harley, such a good girl." He stroked her, murmuring into her hair as she sits there, eyes closed and content. He smells amazing, and his body heat is perfect, keeping her warm but not hot. His skin feels a little chalky but soft and smooth, like the chemicals washed away all imperfections.

"Did it hurt Mistah J? When batsy pushed you in those chemicals." She looked up at him.

"Not at all princess, it was like… a bucket of cold water. It stung a little but it made me so much more awake. The bat ain't a good person Harls, he's as insane as we are… he just tries to fight it more." J stared at the wall absently, his mind wondering to the bat and his plans for domination once he got himself, and his new toy out of this looney farm.

"Y'know Harls… I think it's time we made our great escape." The joker grinned into the silence of the room, his harlequin clinging to him and he cackled into the empty space around them.

A/N The next chapter is when it all happens, Please review and let me know how you're liking it. It puts a smile on my face that could rival the jokers ;D
