Quinn and Poison

10: Family Reunion

"Harleen, what are you doing here?" Harley entered the house, quiet. Since her brother died, her mother lived here alone and her dad was a drugs dealer in prison.

"I had to take a break. Can I..can I stay here?" her mother groaned.

"You don't have another place to go? I don't need the Justice League to burst through my door searching for you." Harley rolled her eyes.

"No mom, you know I don't have anyone else. And the Justice League isn't just gonna burst through the door." Harley walked to her room that still looked alike like her old room. "I see you kept my stuff."

"Yea, well it would've been a waste to throw them away. They cost me money. How long will you be staying."

"I'm still deciding." Sharon started inspecting her. "You okay ma?"

"Ugh, look at you! Full of bruises and cuts. And why did you dye your hair like that."

"Ma, this was my decision."

"Running off with the Joker? The whole neighborhood laughs at us because we're Harley Quinn's parents."

"Us..?"

"Hi hun." Nick, her father came out the kitchen. Harley groaned. "Yeah, I'm not pleased to see you either."

"What are you doing here. I thought you were in prison."

"I was. Got out few weeks ago." Harley sat down on a chair. "Just so you know, me and your mom are disappointed you became...what you became."

"You didn't expect me to go on a straight path after you guys abused me my whole life."

"We were doing you good!"

"Seriously? And how did that work out for Barry huh?"

"Don't bring Barry into this!"

"Why not? He's my brother! He committed suicide because of you guys! Did you ever take that to conscious?"

"Harleen, stop."

"My name js Harley now! I'm going to my room. If you need anything, knock." Harley went to her room and closed the door.

"We only wanted you to marry a doctor!" Sharon screamed after. "Ugh, she's hopeless."

"Oh, cmon Sharon, it's not that bad."

"Nick" Sharon planted her hand on her husband's shoulder. "Our daughter is a fucking villain! What if the cops come here. Or worse, the Justice League! My little Harleen turned into a disappointment."

"I heard that!"  Sharon rolled her eyes.

"What do we do Nick? We can't just keep her here."

"It's only for a few days." Sharon smiled.

Harley left her room just to witness her parents making out on the couch from the living room.

"Omg, can't you do that somewhere else?" Sharon stood up, and put her dress on.

"Or you can mind your business somewhere else. And, you never told us why you were staying here."

"And I'm not gonna say it now."

"Yes you are. If we're gonna have you over, at least I wanna know why my villain-turned-daughter which I haven't seen for 20 years appeared on my porch asking to stay here.

"I got in a fight with someone after we agreed to kill Joker but I got too emotional and she didn't got why I cared for him so I left her place."

Sharon rolled her eyes. "You don't even look like my daughter."

"Excuse me?"

"I taught you not to be emotional. And what does Harley Quinn do? Become emotional."

"Oh really. Didn't you said you'd divorce dad."

"He stopped dealing drugs."

"Oh really? Then why the fuck is the same guy walking around the house with a gun. Looked like Henry."

"Oh shit-"

"See! The mighty Nick Quinzel didn't stopped with drugs dealing and now the other dealers are after him. Again. Make sure you don't lose your other thumb." Harley snickered.

"Well, can the mighty Harley Quinn stop with this shit and marry a fucking doctor, cuz I have enough of you appearing on the news and then everyone laughing at us because our daughter got into Arkham again."

"Yall don't even live in Gotham!"

"Yet everyone knows about Arkham!"

"I can't argue with Yall."

"Oh, are you leaving?"

"Don't get your hopes up Sharon." Harley said walking to her room. She didn't miss the fights, and wished her family could be normal for once, though she knew, that would never happen.
