The Right Side of Wrong

Till Death Till Us Part: Part 4

Veronica's POV:

Back at the apartment, Harley sulks on the couch, while I place a hand on her shoulder in support, happy to let her vent out her frustrations.

Harley: "Ugh! I can't believe I wasted years on my life with that idiot clown."

Frank: "Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. I spent 10 years in a dog park. Come talk to me after a St. Bernard shits on your face!"

Ivy: "Frank, Jesus. Harley, I love you. In a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself-"

Harley: "Unlikely."

Me: "Right, but if you did, the world would be yours. And you could be any kind of, circus performer you want."

Harley: "Yeah. You know, why am I still wearing this thing?"

Me: "I truly have no idea."

Harley and I share a chuckle as the doorbell rings. Ivy opens the door to reveal another one of Joker's goons.

Goon: "Joker-gram! Knew you'd make it . Let's forget the past. I sent this idiot to shout, let's have a blast!"

Suddenly, he explodes everywhere, all over the apartment.

Me: "Harls, for everyone's sake, you don't find this charming, right?"

Harley: "No. No, no, no, no, no."

Ivy: "Ok, cool. Yeah, yeah, cool."

Harley: "I mean, look, you know, there's obviously something super romantic about a man who explodes another man for you. But, but no. No, I'm totally finished with him."

Me: "Oh, finally!"

Harley: "Yeah, yeah! You know, I am so gonna show the world I am more than just Joker's girlfriend!"

Ivy: "There ya go! There ya go!"

Harley: "I'm gonna have my own capers!"

Me: "Goddamn right you are!"

Harley: "Like, like, like, I'll kidnap the mayor of Gotham and I'll put him in a missile and I'll, just, like, shoot it at the moon unless he names a highway after me, huh?"

Me: "Um, ok?"

Harley: "I'm actually still workshopping that. But me & the Joker, we are so through!"

Ivy: "Ok, cool, yeah. For sure."

Harley starts to walk through the door, before turning to me.

Harley: "You coming, Ronnie?"

Me: "Nah, this is something you need to do on your own. But, give Joker a couple of kicks for me."

Harley smiles with a nod, before walking off to Joker's lair.

Ivy: "Five minute head-start?"

Me: "God, yes."

Five Minutes Later

Ivy and I arrive at Joker's lair to find it destroyed, on fire, and practically impossible to rebuild, and Harley standing in the middle of it in a new suit with a confident grin.

Ivy: "Hey, we were just gonna see if you need any help, but you seem good."

Me: "Love the new look."

Ivy: "Gonna pick up some Thai food. Text me what you want?"

Harley: "Oh, wait. I'll have a green potato curry."

Me: "Alright, I can remember that. Text me the rest, k?"

Ivy and I walk off to the Thai place, while Harley walks off to talk to Joker. Can't wait to see his face when the three of us are running this town!
