The Right Side of Wrong

So, You Need A Crew?: Part 4

Veronica's POV:

We meet up with Psycho at the corner of the bar in 'Noonan's'.

Harley: "So, you know, I thought, 'Hey, maybe you should join me and my crew'."

Psycho: *laughs* "Join you two? I'm in the big leagues, mama. The L.O.D. The Legion of Doom. Hard pass!"

Right then, a news report appears on TV, with Lex Luthor giving a speech surrounded by other LOD members.

Lex: "We cannot condone Dr. Psycho's use of the C word, as it does not represent our brand of evil. We hereby banish him from the Legion of Doom, Legion of Doom Europe, and the Jr. Doomers of America."

Psycho: "Did I say 'hard pass'? I meant 'soft accept'. I wanna join your crew. Not because I think working for females will help rehabilitate my ruined image. Blah, blah, blah, blah, it's for other reasons. I don't hate women!"

Harley: "Kinda seems like you do."

Clayface (Southern Bartender): "Whoo-hoo, the salty language that comes out of your mouth. I'm just glad my Mama Jean ain't allowed to hear it."

Harley: "Even hot southern bartender character thinks you're a piece of shit. But we believe in you, and we think you have a part to play. Right, sis? Or, should I say, Miss Mayhem?"

Clayface: "Miss Mayhem?!-*shifts to original form*-The name is Clayface. I am a huge fan of your work."

Harley: "Told you."

Clayface: "And if you require a part filled, then you must also require the services of an actor."

Harley: "You're damn right, I do! You, me, Mayhem, & Psycho. This is gonna be the start of something huge."

We all raise our glasses in a toast, and drink from them.

Psycho: "So, what's our first evil scheme? Is it a nuke in a volcano?"

Clayface: "Oh, a honey pot heist where I seduce Gotham's mayor with my saucy Sheila character."

Harley: "How do you feel about petty, personal vendettas?"

{Skipping over the heist since I don't see Veronica's presence having any significant changes}

Later, in the apartment, Harley, Ivy, and I watch as Tawny interviews Maxie Zeus on TV regarding the aftermath of Harley's heist.

Tawny: "Motivational speaker, and self-proclaimed supervillain, Maxie Zeus, was found beaten this morning. Mr. Zeus, how did this happen? Who did this terrible thing to you?"

Zeus: "All I can say is, Harley Quinn's crew ain't nothing to fuck with."

Tawny: "Sounds like Harley Quinn, former girlfriend of the Joker, is striking out on her own."

Ivy: "Holy fucking shit, Harls. You did it. I would not have seen that coming."

Me: "I can't see the future, but I definitely saw that coming."

Harley: "Aww, thanks, Ronnie!"

Harley pulls me into a side hug before we all turn back to the TV.

Tawny: "It's been 30 long years since a female villain had a crew. When the Queen of Fables tried to smash through that glass ceiling but was imprisoned in the US Tax Code by the Justice League. One thing's for sure, the Joker's ex may soon become his biggest competitor."

Ivy: "Well, you know, congratulations. I mean I know gold metals aren't a nuclear warhead, but you gotta start somewhere."

Harley: "Oh, no, I got a warhead. I traded the gold medals for it."

Ivy: "Get out of town, where is it?"

Me: "She used it to blackmail the city, just like she said she would."

Ivy turns to me in confusion.

Me: "Can't see the future, but I can read minds."

Tawny: "This just in, we take you live to a high-speed chase on the abruptly renamed 'Harley Quinn Parkway'."

Ivy: "I'll be fucking damned. Totally worth it."

Harley & I: "Right?"
