Healing Nature

10. Bensonhurst

A video of King shark on a phone began to play. "First day of unemployment." He says sounding down. "More like funemployment!" He then suddenly says as the camera zooms out to show him at an amusement park with Psycho and Clayface. "I wanna die! Best day ever!" King Shark screams out as they appear on a roller coaster. 

"Ugh." Harley groans as it's revealed she had been the one watching the video while sat in her empty office   

!Blood Haven Thrill Park." A voice says and Harley suddenly turns her head to see Bane stood in the doorway. "Such memories." 

"Jesus, Bane!" Harley cries. 

"I almost blew that place up, but then I rode the Cyclotron and thought, I get it. This is fun." Bane says now.

 "Do ya need somethin?" Harley asks. "I'm kinda busy here."

 "You don't look busy. You look like you're Insta-stalking your ex-crew. Not very healthy. Slippery slope." Bane comments. 

"Gah. Can ya believe they ditched me? I made one little mistake and they just... they bolt. After everything I did for them." Harley says getting up now.

"Um. You could blow them up?" Bane suggests. 

"Nah, not really my thing." Harley says back.

"I could blow them up?" Bane now suggests.

"Nah. Argh! Looks like both of us will be spending the weekend alone." Harley sighs.

"No, I'm going to Black Manta's beach lair. He's smoking a pork shoulder. I...take it you didn't get the invite? Um, maybe check your spam folder?" Bane say as he awkwardly steps out of Harley's office now. 

Harley had gone back to the mall now in the hopes that someone would be there. But as she looked around she found nobody, except for Sy who was asleep in his chair. Even Y/n's research room was left dormant as the machinery awaited it's masters return. Harley sits down at the empty fountain now as she looks at her phone. She aims it at Sy and takes a photo with the caption 'Dead or Alive? LOL' she then sends it to Ivy.

"I don't think she's going to respond." The old version of Harley says as she appears on Harley's phone screen. 

"Hey, sane me." Harley says to the imaginary figure.

"Also, the LOL felt a little sweaty." The old Harley says. 

"Yeah, I went back and forth on that." Harley admits.

 "Where are all your friends? Just kidding. I know. They left you." The old Harley says now. 

"What? You just came outta the phone to shit on me?" Harley asks annoyed. 

"I'm here to help you. Look, you messed up a bunch of important relationships, but there's still someone who is always going to love you unconditionally. Someone who always manages to comfort you." The old Harley says to her now.

"She's not even responding to my texts. Ivy's definitely not gonna wanna see me."

 "I wasn't talking about Ivy." The old Harley stresses. 

Harley was stood on a doorstep as she carefully pressed a doorbell. She waits a few moments until a woman slowly opens the door.

"Hi, Mom..." Harley says nervously as her mother looks at her shocked.
