The Right Side of Wrong

A Seat at the Table

Veronica's POV:

We've just finished watching a tutorial video of the LOD involving a fight between Black Manta and Psycho.

Clayface: "What did you say to Black Manta to elicit such rage?"

Psycho: "Nothing racist."

Harley: "Guys, pull it together. We are about to join-"

Then, the door opens to reveal Lex standing in front of the other LOD members, including Riddler.

Lex: "The Legion of Doom. Welcome home, ladies."

Lex has just finished his presentation on our new membership as Joker walks onstage.

Joker: "When I heard we were letting in the Quinzels, I thought-*maniacal laugh*-No one deserves this opportunity more than they do, especially Harley."

Psycho: "I'm sorry. But didn't he try to kill each of you multiple times?"

Joker: "I know, I know. I tried to kill each of you multiple times, but frankly, ladies, now you're the ones killing it."

Joker starts a slow clap, and the others join in.

King Shark: "Oh, I've seen this before. It's just like the time my ex, Sandra, called me up after I lost 20 pounds. Where were you when I was still 2,750, Sandra? Where were you?! I needed love then."

Clayface: *to Harley* "Promise us you will not make us the Jen Aniston to your Bradley Pitt's feverish pursuit of co-star, An-halina Yo-lee."

Psycho: "Wow, that's a lot to unpack."

Harley: "Guys, guys, come on! Give me a little credit here. Joker saying a few nice things about me ain't gonna make me see him any different."

Bane approaches Harley to perform a card trick. She picks a card, glances at it, and turns back to us.

Harley: "When my mind's set, it is set. Hell, they blew out 3 electric shock machines at Arkham trying to get through to me. I am done giving that clown second chances."

Bane: "Is your card the three of hearts?"

Harley: "No."

Bane: "Fuck!"

I laugh when Harley turn to me with a teasing grin.

Harley: "What are you still doing over here? Go! Go hang out with your boyfriend, commit crimes, fall in love."

Psycho: "Let me save us all some time."

Me: "Actually, Psycho, we are official. Nothing's written in stone, but I think this could work."

Harley: "And I'm happy for you, sis. We all are. Now go!"

I laugh before walking towards Riddler as he's engaged in a conversation. He acknowledges my presence by wrapping an arm around my waist, kissing my forehead, and letting me in on the discussion. This could work out very well for me.

Later that day, Harley informed me that she promised Ivy we'd do a heist with her. I called her on the phone to make sure she's not mad at me, and we're ok again. Plus, she's completely supportive of my relationship with Riddler. Harley and I are sitting among the rest of the LOD in a meeting.
