Chapter 2.

Daniel had arranged for the guards to help him make the room more suitable for a therapy session. He had told Harley how he wants this to be a good environment for her. She felt grateful to hear this, her time here was not one of the best times she could imagine.

Daniel says to the guards "I think it will do some good if we had a sofa for Harley in here, or a comfortable cot, and a chair for me."

The guards are surprised by this request, one of them says "Umm.. Doc are you sure you want to go this far for.. Umm... Her?"

He gestured to Harley who stuck her tongue out to him. The doctor did not see the harm in trying to make Harley comfortable. He knew her story, but here she is his patient.

Daniel says "Of course I want to do this for her. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because she's Harley Quinn! She's associated with the joker!" A guard says.

Another one says "She's here for a reason, don't you understand that?"

"Of course I do we have already established that, haven't we not?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah.. Its just you don't seem to grasp how dangerous she is." The guard explained.

The doctor says "I do appreciate the concern, however, I don't feel as though I'm in any danger with Harley."

One guard whispers to the other "This guy must have a death wish."

Daniel asks politely, yet firmly "Alright, now. May my requests please be met?"

The guards all reluctantly agree. They all get to work, Mr. Gold and Waller watching from a room. Waller merely shakes her head feeling that the doctor is being foolish. Mr. Gold smirks, clearly being amused.

"Heh after all the pain he's been through, our good doctor still has a sense of caring and compassion in him." The man says.

Waller says "It is a waste to show it to someone like her."

As everything was happening, Harley was looking at Daniel with a puzzled expression. She didn't know what to think of him. Ever since she met The Joker, she has been associated as the Queen to his king.

"What's with dis guy? He says he knows about my rep, yet he's going the extra mile for me." She thinks to herself.

She keeps thinking "Many people are scared of me, they think I'm dangerous... Well they are not wrong but..."

Daniel looks to her, a smile on his face. He says to her "I'm so sorry that it's taking longer then you might've hoped."

"Hmm? Nah its ok, ya fine." Harley replies, returning his smile.

"Thank you for your patience." Daniel says.

"Think nothing of it." She said with a wink.

Soon enough, everything was all set up and ready. Daniel looked around and everything was set to what he requested. He smiled and nodded.

"Thank you everyone, for getting all of this ready." The doctor then says "Now then... I have another request."

"What is it?" Daniel's escort asked.

"Please give Harley and I privacy, I prefer it if the both of us have privacy for this and all future sessions."

There was a resounding what from all present guards. Waller had a look of surprise at this herself. Meanwhile, Mr. Gold smirked.

"Heh, interesting." The man said.

Even Harley was surprised by Daniel's request. She wondered to herself who was this guy. Was he as crazy as her?

"You're kidding right?" One of the guards asked.

"Yes I am, if you would leave of us to get to our session." The doctor said, hoping to get started soon.

The guard looks to the others. They all shrug, Mr. Gold has an amused smirk as he watches. Reluctantly, the guards leave.

Daniel sighs "Good, now we can get down to business."

"Okay?" Harley replied, looking puzzled.

The psychiatrist noticed this, he asked "What's wrong?"

"What's your angle?" Harley asked, looking wary of him "I mean you say you know who I am, yet you seem to.."

"Trust you?"

"Well... yeah.."

He explained "I believe that a good doctor patient relationship begins with a level of trust."

Harley was silent, she was curious about this guy. Something is different about this guy, he's not like other guys who she is used to. Especially not The Joker.

"The Joker.." She looked down to the side "I wonder when, or even if he'll come back to me."

"Are you ok?" The doctor asked, looking concerned.

"Hmm?" she looked up "Oh, yeah its nothing.."

He knew she was lying, but he felt it best not to prod "So, are you ready to start?"

"Sure, why not?" She shrugged.

She walks over to the cot, that had cushions and a pillow on it. Harley figured she may as well take advantage of this niceness. Not like anyone else here on staff would be so nice.

She sits down mumbling "May as well take what I can get."

Daniel overheard this, giving her a sympathetic look. He then sits down in a chair, having a pen and pad ready. He sees Harley lay down across the cot.

"How about to get started lets talk a little bit about you." He began "Your file says that you are Dr. Harleen Quinzel."

"Was buddy, I'm just Harley now." She replied sharply "I don't see myself as a doctor anymore.."

"Oh I'm sorry.. if it helps, I bet you were a great doctor."

"Yeah right.." Harley scoffed, rolling her eyes "If I was so great, how did I end up here?"

"Well... I know it began with the Joker."

"Duh, what do ya think?" She replied "You can cut the nice guy act."

"Act?" Daniel replied, looking confused.

"Yeah act! You are the only one here, whose not locked up, whose been nice to me!" She shouted.

"I promise you, its not an act." He said, concern in his voice "I'm just treating you the way I feel you deserve."

"Way I deserve?!" She yelled, throwing her hands up, standing "The fact that we're talking in here, should give you a clue how people think I deserve to be treated!"

Daniel got mad at this "I'm not like other people, I don't think you belong in a cage!"

Harley was taken aback by this. What surprised her was both his getting mad over that, as well as, telling her she didn't belong in here. Even she felt she did on some level.

"You don't think I belong in a cage?" Harley asked "Are you nuts or something, why?"

"Well.. It just feels inhumane that they are keeping you in there." He answered.

"It bites yeah.. Though I at least give as good as I get." She shrugged.

"Oh alright, well.. I can assure you, I won't treat you the way they do." He smiles reassuringly "I promise."

His smile made Harley return it. She couldn't explain it, but there was something nice about this guy. The woman shook her head.

"Snap out of it Harley, don't let this guy get into your head." She thought to herself, a visible frustrated look on her face. "You've just gotta hold out til Mistah J comes."

Daniel asked her "Are you ok?"

"Huh?" Harley snapped out of her thoughts "Oh, yeah I'm fine.. Lets just get started ok?"

"Certainly." He said.

The session had now officially begun, neither the doctor nor the patient knew they were being watched. Mr. Gold had an interested look on his face. Waller was frowning as usual, her arms folded.

That is the end of chapter 2, please R&R.
