"You hurt my baby, YOU HURT HER!" Joker screamed at batman, holding a bleeding Harley in his arms. "Baby, come on, wake up, it's not funny, come on!" He quaked, lightly shaking her.

Joker held her cold body to his warm one. "Please, baby girl, don't leave me, don't you fucking dare leave me!"

He let out a blood-curdling scream, desperately grabbing a hold of Harley's blonde pigtails to try and shake her awake.

"You bitch, YOU KILLED HER, YOU KILLED MY BABY, SHE DID NOTHING WRONG!"

"She did so much wrong, Joker. it doesn't take an idiot to figure that out," Batman stated. "NO SHE DIDN'T, SHE WAS A SWEET GIRL THAT DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF THE SHIT PEOPLE GAVE HER. SHE DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE ABUSED AND TREATED LIKE A SEX SLAVE IN THE PRISON THAT YOU PUT HER IN, SHE COULDN'T SLEEP, BATMAN. SHE WOULD REFUSE TO UNTIL I HELD HER, THAT'S WHAT THAT GOD AWFUL PRISON DID TO HER, SHE DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF IT!"

He looked back to see the bat out of sight, he turned his gaze back to his princess's lifeless body with a large stab wound in her chest. "Oh, My baby girl!" Joker sobbed. "My baby girl's gone!" 

He held her body with a tight grip, not daring to let go.

"MY BABY GIRL'S GONE!"

Joker jolted awake, immediately looking to his side, seeing Harley curled into him. "Mm, Puddin what happened," she mumbled sleepily. 

"Oh, Baby, my sweet girl!" J pulled Harley to his chest and he nuzzled into her dip-dyed curls. "what's wrong, Daddy?" Harley asked worriedly, wrapping an arm around his neck. "You're okay, you're alive, oh thank god. my baby's okay," J whispered into her hair, hands grasping at her back. "I-I'm okay, Puddin....why wouldn't I be?"

"He killed you, the bat killed you. you bled out in my arms, Harley!" Joker cried, holding her even closer to him. "what.....Puddin, did you have a bad dream?" Harley was shocked, he never had bad dreams. 

Joker was too distraught to answer. "I'm here, Daddy, don't worry I'm safe. batsy's not killin' me, not now, not eva." J smiled slightly, comforted by the familiar sound of her accent. "It felt so real......you were so cold and-and there was nothing I could do, I just had to watch you slip away," he choked out. 

Harley gently moved them so that J's head was on her chest and he could hear her heartbeat. it wasn't their usual cuddling position but she knew that hearing her heart so evidently would calm him. 

"I'm safe, Daddy. I'm safe...."

Joker's sorrow slowly calmed, his body relaxing at the sound of her heartbeat, reminding him that she was alive and well. "I love you so much, baby girl. I can't live without you, I'd rather kill myself than do that." Harley gasped at the thought of her Daddy killing himself. "Puddin, no, no, no, don't say that!" she scolded lightly, now tracing the 'Damaged' tattoo on his forehead.   

"I'm sorry, baby. Daddy didn't mean to upset you." 

"It's okay, puddin, I just don't want to think of you doing that."

After a few more minutes, Joker had almost completely calmed down, now just trying to even out his breathing. "I want you to know that I'm going to be very protective over the next few days." Harley giggled at his comment and nodded. "I was expecting that," she smiled.

"You're not going to be leaving my sight," J said jokingly

"Fine by me, Puddin......fine by me"

Two one-shots in one night, I'm proud of myself:)
