Harley Quinn based on DCs New 52 Harley Quinn series

Chapter 1: When Harley Met Jason

Harley Quinn was walking back to her apartment building after a long day of work.

"I can't wait to get inside and get out of this make up" she said.

Having to wear makeup all over her body to hide her gray skin always annoyed her. As she approached the building, she began wiping the makeup off and took off the blonde wig, revealing her red and black hair. There was a large tanker truck parked on the street. A short man was arguing with the driver.

"Heya Tony" she said.

"Hey Peaches" he said.

"What's with th' truck?" Harley asked.

Tony sighed and said "you might want to go put your comfy clothes on and then deal with it."

"Ok Tony peperoni" Harley said as she walked inside.

She walked up to the top floor of her building. She showered the makeup off and put on a sleeveless shirt that as black with a red star on the left side and red with a black diamond on the right side, short shorts that were red on the right and black on the left with a belt lined with bullets. A black thigh high boot on her left leg and red thigh high black boot on right leg. She put her hair up in pigtails, slid a knife into her boot and put a pistol in a holster on her right hip then she walked back outside. Tony was still arguing with the driver.

"Ok, what's goin' on here?" She demanded.

Tony turned around and said "this bum wants to put water from some lake in New Jersey into the building's water tank. Some fresh water for New York thing."

"I'm just doing my job" the driver said.

There was a splashing noise and a light banging sound coming from the water tank.

"Is there a fish in there?" Harley asked knocking on the tank.

"Wouldn't surprise me" the driver said "they hired some cheap fly by night operation to get the water and fill the trucks. We've found all kinds of junk in the tanks, fish, logs, even a body."

"Cool" Harley said smiling.

Suddenly a large blade came through the tank and water began spraying everywhere.

"Yowza!" Harley yelled as she jumped back.

Two huge hands began tearing the hole open, until a huge man fell out in a gush of water.

"Great" the truck driver said "another body. So much paperwork."

"Maybe they were the one banging on the tank" Harley said as she approached.

She managed to roll the body onto its back, revealing it was wearing a hockey mask. A large machete fell out of the truck with a clank.

"HOLEE killer goalie" Harley yelled as she stood up "I've seen this guy in the House of Wax and Murder. It's Freddy, no Michael, no it starts with a J and I know it ain't Mistuh J. Jacob, Jay Ja…Jason! It's Jason from that camp."

Jason's eye suddenly opened and he quickly sat up. Harley scrambled to her feet as Jason stood up and grabbed his machete. He slowly looked around.

"Jason!" Harley shouted "Jason V…Voor…uh Voor…the hell with it, JASON! Big fan."

Jason watched the strange girl approach him. She looked like a clown and didn't show any fear.

"I saw you in the museum" Harley said as she jumped up and hugged him.

No one but his mother had ever hugged him.

"I read all about you after I saw your statue" Harley said "I'm sorry about your mom, oh and you dying. That had to suck too. Where are my manners? I'm Harley Quinn. Come inside, I own the building, I can get you a room. You don't have to leave right away, I'll even show ya my furry friends and your statue in the museum."

She began dragging him towards the door. Jason still didn't know what to think. He didn't know where he was, his mother wasn't talking to him and this girl was being nice and seemed happy to see him. He allowed her to guide him towards the building

"That man is a killer, Peaches" Tony said "are you out of your mind!?"

Harley stopped, thought for a second and said "usually, come on Mistuh Voor…Voo…Voor…Jason."

She was almost skipping as she drug him up to the wax museum.

She pulled him to an exhibit in the corner and said "ta-da! Here you are."

Jason tilted his head, he was looking at himself standing over several dead teenagers. He looked around and saw a statue of Freddy Krueger. Jason tightened his grip on the machete and approached the statue. Harley watched him, wondering what he was doing. Jason stopped in front of the statue and raised his machete.

"NO!" Harley yelled as she ran towards him and grabbed his arm.

Jason looked down at her.

"These cost money" she said "and I'm usually in enough debt."

Jason simply looked back at the statue and got ready to cut it up. He raised his arm again with Harley hanging off of it.

Harley gritted her teeth and yelled "DAMN IT! I SAID NO!"

Jason turned his head towards her again. Nobody had ever yelled at him like that, not even his mother.

"YA CAN'T CUT UP TH' STATUES!" She yelled "NOW LET'S GO! I'LL SHOW YA MY-" she took a breath and said "I'll show ya my fuzzy friends, c'mon."

Jason was impressed and slightly shocked by her bravery. The girl said she knew about him, yet she didn't seem afraid and even stood up to him. He decided not to kill her yet and just keep an eye on her for a while. He would kill her later, right now she was amusing him. Harley led him up a flight of stairs to a door.

She knocked on the door and said "ok everybody, Mama needs ya to behave, she has a guest."

Harley slowly opened the door and was immediately knocked down by several dogs who began licking her face.

"Let me up, babies" Harley said.

She pushed the dogs off and shooed them back inside, then pulled Jason inside and shut the door. He looked around at all the dogs and cats running around. Nobody knew, but Jason had a soft spot for animals. He lifted his machete. Harley gasped and reached for her pistol. She breathed a sigh of relief when Jason slid the machete into its sheath. Jason slowly knelt down on one knee as the animals approached him. Jason's lips slowly formed a slight smile behind his mask as two cats began rubbing against him and a dog began licking his hand.

"Awww" Harley said smiling.

She walked over and sat down next to Jason and the animals began to circle around her too.

Harley stood up and said "you wanna go upstairs? You can sleep in my place, I have the whole floor to myself."

Jason shook his head and began petting another dog.

"Ok" she said "I guess you can sleep here, just don't kill any of my babies."

Jason nodded. Harley went up to her bedroom and changed into her pajamas and went to bed. Jason sat down with his back against a tree and dozed off while petting a cat.
