It was already dawn, Harleen sat on her car while watching the people getting out of the dark alley. She continued to roam the streets of Gotham; hoping to find a glimpse of her patient
He said he needed me, he said he loves me
She pretended to laugh and wasn't missing the half of her soul. Not feeling his eyes on her, or the touch of his fiery skin drives her more insane, it was dulling the colorful haze that normally littered her vision.
Harleen removed her white coat as she examined the pistol that she was holding, she got it from his cell earlier- thinking it might be somehow useful. Then suddenly the psychiatrist step on the brakes when she saw a man with a lime green hair getting inside a purple lamborghini, she quickly ran towards him
Puddin!
Dr. Quinzel blocked the fancy sports car with a huge smile on her face then she saw her patient's gaze became darker and playful
It's him!
"Hello doctor, if you wouldn't mind I'm driving" he laughed as the engine of the car roared to life
You were my toy, I played with you
And now I'm going to break you
He used me
He played me
Her anger soared to the deepest part of her and she felt the logical Harleen coming back, she quickly slammed the edge of the lamborghini. With a swift move, she pointed the pistol towards him
"Get out of that fucking car!"
You destroyed me
It's my turn to destroy you
Harleen felt the lust in her blood to kill him as the Joker got out of the car, both of his arms were raised to the level of his head, it was the first time that the psychiatrist saw him not in his Arkham uniform, instead he was wearing a silver coat and a magenta blouse which somehow exposed his countless tattoos.
"Such breathtaking eyes you have Harleen" he started but Harleen didn't budge, she remained pointing the pistol at him even though her hand was already shaking
"Why did you do that to me?" She gritted her teeth
"I wanted to help you" his lips formed into a smirk
Fuck you!
"You destroyed me!" She shouted frustratingly
"You are free Harleen. The only sensible way to live life is to live without the rules" he smiled like a maniac
"Did you even love me?" her voice broke, the Joker suddenly laugh as his gaze became darker, he guided his head towards the pistol with a devilish smile forming in his lips
"A man who has nothing to fear has nothing to love" those words made her world stop as she felt the logical Harleen begins to fade. She needs to help him
He needs me
I can fix him
I can cure him
"Do it, do it do it do it do it do it" he said sheepishly, closing his eyes while waiting for her to pull the trigger. Of course he is not afraid to die
He is death personified
"Let me join you, please" those words escaped her mouth the moment she remembered every memory with him, she was willing to be his puppet, he had freed her from this world full of judgement
"Do you surrender yourself to me?" He asked, his breathing was erratic
"Yes daddy" those words formed a huge smile on the Joker's face
"You will be a nightmare to everyone here in Gotham, you will be feared by everyone, you will be loathed by the society, are you willing to be with me?" Harleen smiled, her place in the society doesn't matter as long he was by her side, with him the whole world doesn't make any sense
Him
And only him
The society is just as cruel as he is
"Miss is everything okay? Do you need help?"
The stranger's voice was just a background music as the Joker caressed her face, the sound of his voice were the main vocals of her brain
"Now go show daddy you understand"
His hand guided her pistol to the man walking towards them, she knew what he wants her to do and she wanted nothing more but to please him
Please him
Everything you must do to please him
Am I ready to kill someone for him?
"Puddin, I don't know if i-" This time the white flash of light came from his slap that knocked herself to the ground, forcing her to yelp in pain as colors swirled in her eyes. Without hesitation, the Joker pointed the gun at the old man, who didn't have the time to raise his hands for defense as he fired a single bullet that chiseled a hole right through his bulging stomach.
The sight of his glowing face in front of her was the only recovery that she needed as she found every ounce of strength to return to her body. Her senses were still shaky but she needed to touch him. She sat up, launching herself to his body as she felt the electric shocks when they connected. His laugh filled her ears with the most incredible song she heard ad he hugged her back, but he let go too quickly, she stared a him; searching his face for anything that made sense
Almost immediately, he pointed the gun to his head and whispered
"Bang"
Then he pointed it at her head as Harleen stared into his eyes; a place that nothing else matters but her love for him as she whispered back
"Bang bang"
Once again her emotions exploded as she fell into his arms, laughing, kissing and giggling
"Cmon"
He guide her hand inside his car as his eyes glimmered with anticipation
"Where we goin' puddin?" She giggled
"We're going for a drive"
