“I guess you can say I’m a very complicated gal.” Harley snickers. She’s certainly going to enjoy all the other future interactions the two of them will share in the future. “Au contraire! I don’t think you’re anythin’ like Batsy at all. Ya got a flare of your own and I gotta admit, I like it. I’m lookin’ forward to how this plays out."
He was surely interested about this new character who had to do with one of the people he hated the most on that planet. To say the least, she seemed to be equally interested, but not yet in the creepy and disturbing way that Joker seemed to want to interfere with his life. "Glad the feeling is mutual. You’ll definitely gonna crack a bigger smile next time I see you.”
Sweet cheeks? “Don’t call me that. Ya got no reason to do so.” Harley folds her arms and shoots a glare at him, “Sorry, kiddo, but if you’re gonna go after Mista J, then a conflict between you ‘n me is inevitable.” She then gives a small laugh, “You might be tough, but you don’t scare me. Don’t underestimate me though. I can put up a challengin’ fight just like my Puddin’.”
“Tough to please, huh? No problem, I can do better”, Jason said, raising an eyebrow. Yes, he was sure that he wasn’t going to like her, especially if she had such tight links to him. “I’m not complaining, it really gives me something to look forward to. If you sign up for this thinking that I’ll be anything like Batman, you’ll be disappointed.”
This kid had a scary laugh like Batman. Hearing it made Harley uneasy. And it looks like he wasn’t a big fan of her joke either. “Look, if you got better things to do, then you can mosey on outta here. I’m sure if Mista J did somethin’ terrible to ya, he’ll do it again. If you’re that dead set on attackin’ him, then I’m afraid you’ll have to get past me when the time comes.”
“That won’t be a problem, sweet cheeks. I’m pretty sure that he will know better and keep you at side if he wants you to stay safe. Just a fair warning; if you value your life, stay out of my way. Don’t say that I didn’t give you the heads up. But who knows, maybe you’ll have a change of heart and see that if you’re a nice gal, I won’t harm you.”
“It’s not like he’s a coward or anythin’, ya know. Maybe he’s got somethin’ better to do than to mess with you.” Harley sighs, “Batsy can’t throw me in because I haven’t even done anythin’ ‘round here. Y’know, you should really drop the tough act and loosen up. Nobody likes a tight ass. Here, lemme tell ya a joke. Alright, stop me if you heard this one… So, a man walks into a bar.”
“Really now? I should feel insulted, I was looking forward to our meeting”, Jason chuckled, even though that laugh had nothing merry in its sound. “I’m not here expected to be liked, in case you didn’t know. But I do have more important things to think about instead of talking about scum like the Joker and failures liked Batman…. I was going to walk away but you brought this to yourself.”
“Ya mean my Puddin’? Nope, haven’t seen him at all. And yeah! I’m his beloved harlequin. I’m pretty sure you’ll find him easy peasy when he decides to show anyways.”
“Pft, disgusting. Why am I not surprised that he’s not here.. Oh trust me, I will. I have an old matter to settle with him, once and for all. And it seems that Batman didn’t even finish half the job, keeping you roaming free in this place.”
