HarleyxJoker Short Stories

A Dream?

I grabbed my cup of coffee and my work bag and ran towards the door.

"Bye honey!! I'm going to work!!" I yelled at I walked out the door.

"Bye! Love you!" I heard as I shut the door and ran to my car. I was going to be late to work if I didn't beat traffic.

My name's Harleen Quinzel and I work at Arkham Asylum. I lived with my boyfriend Jack, we were pretty serious.

I pulled into the asylum parking lot and ran inside. I ran into someone as I stepped into the office area.

"Oh! I'm so sorry boss!!" I said backing up. He shook his head at me.

"Only a few minutes late today, new record." He said smiling. I blushed in embarrasment.

"Anyways, I'm assigning you a different patient then 'The Clown'." He said handing me a manila folder and rolling his eyes mentioning The Clown.

I nodded and walked to my office. I slumped in my chair, relieved. I didn't have to deal with that doofus.

In Gotham, we had a villian, well more like a criminal. He called himself 'The Clown', so cool and menacing right? Wrong. He just dressed up in basic clown costumes and ran around causing mayhem. He's usually pretty good at running from cops but got caught and thrown in here. He's known for being a little messed up in the head.

I quickly got up as I saw the time. Time for my appointment.

*Few Days Later*

I walked into work to see cops lining the halls and staff looking fed up. I walked up to my boss.

"What did I miss?" I asked. He sighed and looked over at me.

"The girl I assigned to The Clown helped him break out and now she says she's joining him. Got herself all dressed up similar to him and killed some of the staff to "prove herself" " He explained, air quoting prove herself. I rolled my eyes.

Of course. Oh well, not my problem, it was the cops and Batmans problem now. I felt my phone buzz and opened to see a message from a friend. She had sent me a video of the girl. She was dressed in a yellow and white clown outfit, whizzing through the city in a van with The Clown driving as she stuck out the window, shooting into the air. As they whipped past the camera she yelled out.

"CALL ME AXIN JOY!!!" She yelled out. I rolled my eyes and turned my phone off.

The Clown did cause alot of serious trouble, but I always thought him and the other villians and Batman were silly. Whatever, time to get through the day.

I arrived home to a delicious smell wafting out the front door as I opened it. I kicked my heels off and set my bag down, walking into the kitchen.

"Hey honey! I made dinner, it's shrimp alfredo!" Jack said, greeting me with a hug and kiss on the forehead. I loved him, he was so sweet and kind, he would never hurt a fly.

"It smells amazing darling, thank you." I said smiling up at him. All of a sudden I heard screeching tires outside. We both turned to see The Clown and Joy burst through the door.

"Oops! Interuppting something are we?" She said, skipping into the house. I was frozen, I never thought of The Clown as dangerous, but seeing him AND his new accomplice right in front of us was surreal.

I watched as The Clown waved outside and men poured into our house, grabbing anything valuable. I felt Jack move behind me. Before I knew what was happening, he shoved me to the side where I fell, and lunged at Joy. She laughed and darted out of the way. As I watched Jack fall, she pulled out a knife and stabbed it into his back and kick him over as he struggled to stand.

She laughed out loud. "Trying to play hero huh? Oh well." She said laughing. She looked over at me. I knew she recognized me.

"That everything pumpkin?" The Clown asked from by the door. She paused as she stared at me before turning around and skipped out the door.

"Yep! Next house!" She said. As soon as I heard the tires screech away, I jumped up and ran over to Jack. He was unconcious but breathing.

I grabbed my phone and dialed 911. I gave the operator our address and stayed by his side as I waited. I heard sirens and jumped up to run outside.

"Over here!!" I waved my arms. They rushed over with a gurney and followed me into the house.

"Ok, we can take him now. Do you want to ride with us?" One of the paramedics asked. I shook my head.

"I'll come in my car." I said. He nodded and they rolled him out. I got in my car and followed them to the hospital. I followed them inside.

Everything was a blur. Before I knew it the room was empty and silent besides the machines attached to him. I sat there for hours and hours. Eventually my eyes fluttered closed.

*Time Skip*

I was woken up to someone shaking me.

"Harleen, baby wake up." I opened my eyes and sat up. Jack was staring at me worriedly. "Oh! You're awake! I'm sorry, I was just exhausted." I said, still half asleep. He smiled.

"It's ok, I woke up a few hours ago but wanted to let you sleep. You were talking in your sleep though, are you ok?" He asked examining my face. I frowned and nodded, rubbing my head.

"Yea I just had a dream me and you were The Clown and Axin Joy." I said rolling my eyes at the names.

He smiled. "That would be interesting wouldn't it??" He said laughing lightly. I smiled and nodded in agreement. Very interesting.

I jerked awake and rubbed my head. I heard a groan next to me. I looked down to see Mistah J waking up.

"What are you doing Harls, woke me up..." He said grumpily. I layed back down next to him.

"Oh nothing Puddin, I had a dream me and you were normal and living together. We were different villians called 'The Clown' and 'Axin Joy'" I said giggling to myself. He groaned.

"That's stupid. What are those names.." He said groggily falling back asleep. I shook my head to my self and closed my eyes. I soon slipped back into sleeping and the weird dream where I was normal.

At least it was just a dream. Very interesting dream.
