The Madman's Ex Wife (Batman x Harley Quinn)

Chapter 4

Harley's POV

I bolt as fast as I can towards my bag of treasures near the bed. I'm just a foot away from it now; I reach my arm out towards the bag and firmly grab it. "WAIT"

I peek over my shoulder to see Batsy standing at a significant distance. Suddenly a net coming from somewhere on my left flies over me. I'm trapped! "Hey Batsy! Can't stop cheating can ya!?"

"Well I have to cheat if I'm trying to catch you" I could feel the honesty in his voice and felt something. Something warm-no-hot. He complemented me? me the criminal? Me who has been helping puddin' terrorize the city for years now?

"HA YA ADMIT IT!" I let a grin spread across my face, "Batsy I'm actually curias. Why am I here?" Batsy's eyes widen just slightly- did he think I wouldn't be direct? "You coulda brought me back to Arkham like every other time. But instead you brought me to ya fancie house. Whats ya reason?"

"It's been so many years now and we still have not caught joker. We have a new mind on our team who thought that we should try to talk to you. To reason with you."

"To.. reason with me?" I giggled, then my giggle turned into a laugh, turning into a roar. I stood up the best I could in the net and looked into Batsy's eyes, "It's been a while since someone's tried to do that" I thought of Joker.

Batman's POV

Harley gazed into my eyes as she talked, "It's been a while since someone's tried to do that." The way she looked at me stirred up a feeling. Something like claws scraping at me from the inside. Something that felt hot. Something that sent tingles through my whole body, making me stand straighter while simultaneously making me want to melt. Harley's voice faded into my conciousness, "So what da ya think"

"Excuse me?" I shook my head, I wasn't usually this delusional. What's with this.

Harley looked at me with a questioning look, then seemed to shake it off, "Can I stay in ya room pleasee I promise ya I won't run away"

"What? no."

"Why" she cocked an eyebrow, "Scared of how sexy I am?" She made a motion with her eyebrows and bit her lip, "Ha! Isn't it betta if we're always togetha anyways? So I don't run away?"

I was so tempted, but I have to keep myself together. I glanced at Alfred; still in the doorway to the room of course, and wondered what he thought. He shrugged and looked at me in a way as if saying its your choice.

Harley did bring up a good point. It was better if I could always keep an eye on her. "Your right, I can keep an eye on you better if you're always around me" Is this really okay? Am I even being unbiased? Why do I want to say yes so bad. What about my secret identity too? I'll ask Alfred later.
