The Hunt

"Is there a reason why I have to carry you on my back?" Mark said drearily as he walked down the road towards the bus station. Harley just hit him on the head with her fist "You bang banged my house until I get a new one you better believe you're carrying me buster" she said before going back to leaning her chin on his head.

Mark sighed, he didn't expect the explosion to be that powerful but at least he knew now, he really should go somewhere and test his powers "Why do we have to get the bus don't you have a car?" He asked. As soon as he had told Harley they could use his house she'd jumped on his back and slapped him on the ass commanding him to move forward, but since he couldn't fly yet he couldn't take them to it.

"Pah! A car? In New York? Are you an idiot or something" she said while laughing "Well why don't you steal one?" Mark asked only to get hit on the head again.

"Why don't you just steal one" Harley said mocking Mark's voice "I am an ex-villain thank you very much, I don't commit crimes anymore I even stopped jumping the turnstile" she said with a hint of pride in her voice.

"You Could at least thank me you know, I did save us from the League of Assassins," Mark said as he rolled his eyes "You didn't save my house though did you..." Harley said as she bit his ear. As they walked down the bustling streets of New York heading towards the station, Mark noticed they were getting a lot of stares from the people passing by them. He suddenly realised that what they were doing must look pretty strange, he was walking down the road with a fully grown woman on his back as she hit him on the head and bit him.

Mark didn't know when it happened but at some point living with Harley must've desensitised him to all her batshit crazy behaviour 'I need a holiday after this' he thought to himself, though he did recognise the humour of relaxing and recovering after just spending a few months doing the same thing "Hey dumbass ya missed the turn" Harley shouted as she pointed to the left he had just missed, though when she went to hit him on the head again he didn't feel it "OW!" She shouted as she banged her fist against what felt like a steel wall.

Mark's eyes widened and he grinned, he took a coin out of his pocket and flicked it upwards, it shot into the air and they quickly lost track of it "You got your powers back? Well about time!!! You can start fixing up my apartment!" She shouted in excitement as she wiggled on his back.

'I could just toss her off me and fly away...' Mark thought with a smirk as he continued to walk down the road 'But she did take care of me these last two months, I do kind of owe her and I did destroy her house so maybe...'

'Nah' Mark thought as he grabbed Harley off his back and tossed her to the ground while laughing, he then crouched down and pushed off the ground shooting up into the air, only he didn't stay that way and he quickly fell to the ground 'Oh, seems like not all my powers are back yet...' he thought as he landed on the ground, cracking the concrete.

He had landed in the same space he was in before so he knew Harley was right behind him. He turned around with a sheepish smile on his face, Harley had her arms crossed and was looking at him with a very unimpressed expression "Did you just try to fly away and leave me in New York without an apartment or anything to my name" Harley asked in a cool tone as she narrowed her eyes at Mark.

Mark laughed nervously "No..." he said unconvincingly, even to himself that sounded like a lie 'Yeah there is no salvaging this situation' Mark thought to himself right before he turned back around and started running to the bus station

"GET BACK HERE!!!!"

"DIE!!!!" Fire shouted as she unleashed a torrent of flames at Nolan who calmly walked through the corridors of the Watchtower. The Green flames scorched the metal surfaces as they impacted him, next to Fire was Ice who had been trying to impede Nolan's advances by covering the hallway with ice and creating walls, though they did next to nothing to stop the Viltrumite's advance.
