Harley Quinn...

Was Pissed.

2 Weeks.

2 WEEKS!

Alexandria had to deal with Joker for two weeks "Fixing" her store up. Repainting, refurbishing, and redecorating. That didn't sound so bad when she thought of it, but when you had to watch your lifes' work torn down with a comically large red hammer, all the furniture you scrimped and saved for being hauled out to a wood chipper who knows where. She honestly didn't know. After walking in one morning to see her restaurant in shambles she gave the key to Marcus and walked away.

It was too hard. She spent two weeks in her apartment ignoring the messages on her phone (how the Joker got her number she'll never know) on what her restaurant should look like. (Jervis also left a few messages about tea time.) She just couldn't handle it. Two weeks she'd been living off of dollar booze and cup ramen. Unfortunately one night she had a bit too much to drink, and woke up stiff with a horrid migraine.

"Good Mornin', Sunshine!" The high pitch sneer did not help the pounding in her head. Opening her eyes Alexandria saw red and black and blonde. And Angry.

"We need to talk."

Steaming coffee was sitting on the table in front of Alexandria, she couldn't reach it due to the tight ropes wrapped around her and the chair. Harley dropped a straw in her mug before taking the seat across from her. She glared at Alexandria before,

"Why'dya steal my Puddin'?" Alexandria blinked.

"I didn't steal him." Harley slammed her hand on the table before pulling a revolver from behind her and aiming it at Alexandria's head.

"LIAR! HE HASN'T TALKED TO ME IN WEEKS!" The screaming cracked as Harley blinked back tears.

"I DIDN'T steal him, Harley! I don't have ANY control over him. He's destroying my baby!" Alexandria suddenly had tears in her eyes too.

"Then why won't he talk to me? I saw all the messages he left you!" Harley was waving the gun around in rage. "Why are you so special?!"

"Harley."

"I was there for him in the slammer!"

"Harley!"

"I was there for all the schemes and secrets!"

"HARLEY!"

"I want him back!"

"YOU CAN HAVE HIM!" Alexandria struggled against her bonds. "He's destroying my baby and I can't stop him! You can take him and everything he's ruined and leave!" at this point tears were falling from her face.

"Your baby?" Alexandria hung her head.

"Can you keep a secret?" Harley stood still, contemplating.

"Doctor Quinn is in."

"You left, jus like that?"

"I couldn't just stay there anymore. We spent so much time and energy and... love into that beautiful spot that... to see it empty-" Alexandria hung her head in her hands, finally letting the tears fall. Harley rubbed her back soothingly in circles.

"I moved to Gotham that night. Broke all ties, went to school, bought Hodge-Podge, pushed myself to make our dream again and Joker destroyed it!"

"Aw, Sunshine! Puddin' means well, you are a friend afta all! Maybe if ya told him what ya told me he'd lay off." Alexandria sniffed.

"What's with this whole freind thing anyway?"

"Wellll, Dr. Leland thought maybe Mr. Jay was so cranky cause he 'isolated' himself, had no friends! When he tried ta prove otherwise Doc wouldn't believe him." Harley shrugged. "He's just tryin to prove a point."

"So I'm a point to be made. That doesn't scare me at all." Alexandria sighed, sarcasm dripping from her voice in spades.

"Aw, don't be like that! If there one thing I know about my Puddin' is when he does somethin', he goes whole hog!" Harley through an arm around Alexandria, jovially. "You're a friend now!"

Riiiiing Riiiiing Riiiiiing!

"That's probal-"

"MR. JAY!"

"him..."

"Yer in biiiiig trouble Mister! How could ya leave me all alone and worried and scared an-...REALLY?! Oh Puddin' I knew you needed me! I'll be right over!" Harley slammed the the phone and rushed to the window.

"Hey Sunshine,"

"Yeah?"

"No need ta thank me!" And with that Miss Quinn disappeared into the night.

Harley Quinn was excited. Now that she knew Sunshine wasn't trying to steal her beloved she knew just what to do to apologize for almost killing her friend. and It involved a field trip out of Gotham.

To Metropolis.

Thanks to my muse (That's you Hedgehog) I have tons of good ideas. The next few chapters will be a character development arc on Alex. I'm sure some of you are curious as to who she is?
