HarleyxJoker Short Stories

Scandal of Gotham Pt.2

Joker kept in contact with Riddler and the man who snitched the information to them two.

A week had passed with nothing happening, Harley and Batman were still seeing every so often, unaware of the situation bubbling up.

Batman stood at the top of a building, impatiently waiting for Harley once again.

"Batssyyyy!!! I'm herreee!!" Harley slurred out as she stumbled onto the roof.

Batman looked at her wearily. "Are you drunk Harley?"

She shook her head giggling. "Whaatt no of course not!"

He sighed.

"You need to go home." He stated.

"Ugh you're no fun Bats, just cause I'm a little tipsy doesn't mean we can't have funnn!" She complained, stumbling into his arms.

"I shouldn't even be seeing you as it is.." He muttered.

"What?" Harley hiccuped.

He shook his head.

"Come on, I'm taking you home. No buts." He stated firmly.

She groaned and fell into him again as she tried to walk on her own.

He led her down from the building and into his car, not knowing how she got there in the first place like this.

After dropping her off at her place he headed off to patrol the city.

It was a quiet night, which didn't settle right with him, it was never quiet in Gotham.

Only when something big was going to happen.

He tried to push it to the back of his mind, he had no reason to think something big was going on as there was nothing big with the criminals right now.

Or so he thought.

He was in an alley, hiding in the shadows when he saw two men stumble into the alley.

"Oh man that was funny." One guy laughed out.

The other laughed along with him before pointing at him.

"Did I tell you what boss has planned out?" He asked, leaning against the brick behind him.

The other shook his head.

"Dude...he found out Harley has been messing around with someone else, like another dude." He drawled.

The other looked at him shocked then waved his hand.

"So what? We all know he'll just kill the dude and get Harley back. It's what happens everytime. Everyone in Gotham knows this." He said rolling his eyes.

"Nah man, you know who she's messing with?"

He looked at him waiting.

"Batman."

Batman froze. He was about to step out and take the two guys in after listening, since they obviously worked for Joker. But hearing his name made his blood run cold.

There was no way he'd know, right? He was safe. He always checked around the areas they went to, made sure they were never seen together.

He even staged fights with her where she'd "get away" to make it seem normal.

He turned and disappeared away from the two men, taking off back towards her house.

He snuck in, seeing if she was still awake.

"Harley. Harley, wake up" He shook her awake.

She groggily opened her eyes, holding her head.

"What the fuck, since when did you start staying at my house?" She mumbled.
