Harley laughed as her and Joker pulled up behind the bank his goons loading out, " Oh Puddin' this will be fun!" She cried getting out of the van and stretching. It had been weeks since he'd let her come on a job so she was eager to get going.
"Quiet Harley! You'll get the guards attention!" Joker snapped stepping out.
"Opps sorry, I'm just excited his all!" She responded lowering her voice to a whisper. Joker turned to his goons and her.
"Alright! Let's get this started." The goons nodded and headed into the building, Harley grabbed her hammer from the back of the van and went to take up her position.
Damian looked over as his father came into the doorway of his room, "We're going out Joker is at the bank," he said curtly before turning to go. Damian nodded and got up to follow him.
"Hurry up you're getting slow!" Robin snapped down in the Batcave, already suited up and waiting by the car. Batman walked over and got in
"It pays to check your gear," he replied before starting the Batmobile and rushing out to the bank.
"Robin go around back, I'll enter through the front," Batman ordered as they pulled up, Robin nodded and went to do as told.
"Hiya! long time no see! How ya doin'?" Harley asked as the boy wonder came in to where she stood waiting with some goons, her job was to keep him busy.
"Quinn," Robin acknowledged before the goons rushed him. He stepped to the side as the first one reached him grabbing his arm and pulling him down turning to punch another they didn't last long against him and soon they were all down.
"Been training? You seem faster, more fun to dance with!" Harley laughed as she ran towards him her hammer poised.
Batman stalked along the hall to the vault taking out the goons that were stationed along the way, he heard laughter as he got close. "That's it boys! Load it all up we need it all!"
"Need it all for what?" Batman asked as he stepped through the door.
"Ooh party pooper, why'd you have to show up? Take it to the van boys!" Joker ordered the goons pulling his pistol out and starting to fire at Batman.
Batman dodged and caught Joker around the waist slamming him into the wall turning briefly to throw batarangs at the escaping goons catching their knees and knocking them down. Turning back the the Joker he grabbed his hair slamming him into the floor.
"I'm taking you in Joker," Batman said as he reached down to cuff him.
"Not likely!" the clown cried out turning to slash at him with a knife from his vest causing Batman to step back.
"Harley!" he called out dodging Batman's blows.
"Oh time to go I think!" Harley said springing away from Robin when she heard Joker's shout.
"You're not going anywhere wretch!" Robin growled coming at her again.
"Sorry brat my Puddin needs me!" She slipped her acid laced throwing cards from her glove throwing three into his leg.
Robin screamed and went down long enough for her to run, he struggled to rip fabric away from the wounds yanking the cards out, Robin fumbled along his belt before pulling out a serum and dumping it across the cuts sighing as the acid stopped burning.
"Batsy! Your little friend is down!" Harley called as she slid into the room, "Do you know what acid burning flesh smells like?" She asked. Batman growled and ran past her to go to Robin's side leaving an unconscious Joker on the ground.
"You know Puddin ever since you killed the other one he's an awful lot more protective of his little birdies," She hoisted Joker up putting his arm around her shoulder, "Not a bad thing for us though right?" She continued even though he hadn't come to, "Let's go home," Harley started to drag him back out to the van, "Guess I'm driving huh?"
"Robin! Are you alright?" Batman asked running over to his side and kneeling down to examine the wounds.
"I'm alright, I stopped the acid. We have to go get them," Robin replied trying to stand as his leg almost gave out.
"No," Batman caught him holding him up. "We need to get you to Alfred," He touched the comm in his ear. "Nightwing are you out?"
After a few moments Nightwing's response came through. "What do you need?"
"Joker and Harley were at the bank, Robin is injured and I'm taking him back, see if you can find them," Batman ordered as he helped the protesting Robin into the Batmobile.
"Roger that."
Nightwing jumped down from the roof he had been watching the city from heading over to where he parked his Nightcycle, getting on and heading to the bank. "Alright I'm down for a chase tonight." He said to the wind as he sped up. When Nightwing got to the bank he circled the building noticing that there were tire tracks heading to the east, speeding up again he followed them hoping that he would find the van quickly.
Turning a corner Nightwing noticed a van whipping around the next corner. "There you guys are," He sped up pulling up behind the van. Harley's head snapped up to look in the mirror when she heard the motorcycle behind them.
"Aw no, not now go away dammit!" She slammed her hands on the wheel speeding up.
"Pull over Joker!" Nightwing yelled pulling up next to driver side window.
"Try again Nightding!" Harley responded not looking over as she floored the gas. Nightwing was taken aback for a minute, he hadn't expected Harley to be driving. He caught up again glancing at her.
"Alright then pull over Harley."
"Mm still no, go away!"
"Why are you driving?" Nightwing finally asked trying to see in the van.
"None of your business, just leave us alone!"
"Us? So Joker is in there?"
"My Puddin' is taking a nap okay pretty boy? Can we just go home?"
"Oh why does everyone call me that?" Nightwing groaned shaking his head.
"I dunno maybe cause you're cute," Harley said off handedly suddenly lurching the van into him making him take a different route as the road split. She laughed as she sped away successfully losing him.
"Cute?" He started to question before crying out as the van slammed into him, he swerved hard to take less impact. "Hey!" Nightwing whipped around going to the road the jester had taken growling and slamming his hands on the handles when he couldn't see the van anywhere.
"I'm alright Pennyworth." Damian snapped as the butler offered him crutches having already bandaged the wounds.
"The acid ate a lot before you stopped it sir you should staying siting."
"I said I'm fine I don't need to sit and I don't need crutches to walk." Damian walked over to his father's side at the Batcomputer slowly. "Will we go back out tonight?"
"No I think Joker is done tonight, you go to bed." Bruce responded tapping a few things into the computer.
"I'm not tired-"
"Go to bed you need to rest that leg." Bruce cut him off turning to look at him.
"Yes father." Damian muttered turning and leaving to his bedroom.
Harley sighed as she finally got Joker to wake up. "There you go Puddin' Can you see me?" She asked stroking his hair.
"Harley?"
"Yes Mr. J its me."
"What happened?"
"Bat and bird came they interrupted and we didn't get anything we lost some guys and had to escape, I dragged you out after Batman knocked you out and I damaged the kid."
"We got nothing?!" Joker sat up groaning as the room spun.
"Puddin'! You have to take it easy." Harley scolded pushing him to lean back again.
"Harley we needed that money!" Joker snapped making her jump back some.
"I know, I know Mr. J I can...I can give you some from my paycheck?" She offered shyly. Joker had surprisingly only asked her for money once. Most of the time he thankfully left her life as Lee alone. "What do ya say about that Puddin'?"
"Oh Harley that's so smart you know I forget that you have another life sometimes, five thousand should be enough for now."
"Five- five thousand?" Harley repeated, squeaking. Her job at Arkham paid well, but she would have to take out money from her savings to deliver that much, not to mention the teller might be curious as to why she needed five thousand dollars.
"Of course! We'll get the rest some other way, you do love me don't you? Why is that such a hard task?"
"No Puddin' I can do it! Don't worry it'll just be awhile!" Harley quickly assured him, "I love you Mr. J I do."
"That's my Harley, run along now I have to fix up some plans." Joker said waving her away.
Harley sighed as she slipped out of the hideout. "Five thousand." She whispered to herself starting to head home. When she got back to her apartment she slipped in through a window shutting it behind her. "It got cold in here." Harley went over to her thermostat turning the heater on then going to change out of her costume and wash off her make up. When she had changed and hidden her suit she slipped into bed setting her alarm and looking at the time, 1:00. "I have to stop staying out as late, I do have work in the morning, but I guess I have to stay out as long as Joker needs me. " Harley sighed and rolled over trying to sleep.
