I Choose Her

The necklace

♦️Harley Quinn's Point Of View♦️

It's been about a year since I've talked ta Ivy. It's now my birthday. I heard she moved outta Gotham. They used ta talk about it all tha time 'cause they were happy. But I'm not... Joker is pretty happy they stopped talkin' about her. I'm not sure why, but he doesn't really like her. I promised if he got ta know her, he'dlike her, that didn't turn out so well fer me. I didn't mean ta doubt him but that is how he took it so I got a pretty good beatin'. Puddin' an' I have been through a lot, he threw me out a few time but I swear, next time he does, I'm leavin' him fer good. Ives taught me self respect, but without her- even with her.... I felt like I needed him. Not anymore though, next time he throws me out I'm leavin', or if he tried ta kill me. I'll get a new life without crime. I don't like bein' a bad guy, ALL the time. Tha killin' isn't what bothers me. I just don't see tha point. I wanna live a normal life. Right now, it is just too much. We have a kid in our basement right now. Joker wanted ta- well... ta be completely honest, I don't know what he wants ta do with her.... I think she has somethin' ta do with my special day!

"Harley! Get your ass down here and feed the kid!" He yells, interrupting my time ta myself. I sigh, but don't dare talk back. I get down with a plate of food fer this kid. I see Joker on tha cameras, watching this kid like a hawk. He's been payin' so much attention ta this kid he doesn't even notice me.

"Yer gettin' awful cozy with that little brat." I say, leanin' against a wall with my foot up an' arms crossed.

"Oh, don't be jealous, my dear, she's just a kid. Not a typical one though." He admits, walking up to me, placing his hand beneath my chin. Reminds me of someone..." He says, returnin' ta his desk of cameras. I notice one of tha cameras is ta my room... I shutter. That sicko. All of a sudden we hear glass breakin' comin' from upstairs.

"Oh, fer fuck sake! What now?" I groan.

"If that was one of your little mutts, I swear, you'll want to say bye now."

"They're not even closely related ta dogs." I mumble to myself as I walk upstairs, checking what happened. It is dark up here but I can see the light reflecting on the glass from the window, broken on the floor. I look around, trying ta see where it came from. I see a shadowy figure run past me. Then another follow.... "Shit.. shit, shit, shit!" I run back down stair.

"We've got company, puddin'! Go guests to be exact." I say.

"Of course, now." He backs away from his cameras as we hear creaking from the floor board. Batman. Selina wouldn't make a noise. I back up. We see a shadow step forward from the darkness.

"Basty! Was a pleasant surprise! How are ya?" Joker says, walking inta the room of the child.

"Let the child go, Joker!" Batman says in a stern voice. I sit back an' watch how this all plays out.

"What about, no! Lets kill 'em instead." Joker pulls out a gun from his pocket and holds it up ta the kid's head. I rush over an' move the gun with a near by bat. Ooo. I missed tha feelin' of this! I grin before I flip it in my hand before returning it back to the gun.

"Puddin', we agreed not ta kill any kids. We can do fathers, mothers, uncles, but no grannies, animals, or kids!"

"I don't need your, old ass, to stick up for me." Says this BRAT.

"Kill tha bitch." I tell my puddin' with fury, I hold up tha bat, about ta swing but Joker stops me.

"Fuck! That was just for show, dumbass, to make him suffer! You spoiled it!" He growls.

"Oops... Sorry it looked so real..." I say, holding tha bat on manshoulder an' liftin' up ma leg with a smile.

"I'm gettin' a headache here." Joker says, rubbin' his head an' grindin' his teeth. "You've become an annoyance, darling. You're never happy with anything. Always arguing..." He shouts before his sickin' grin appears. "What about us?" He says liftin' the gun up ta my head, tryin' ta get a reaction outta me. I don't flinch. "Did we agree not to kill each other?" He asks shruggin' his wide shoulders.

"If you pull that trigger, then it's over between us!" BAM! He pulls tha trigger. I fall over an' hit tha ground hard. Nothing hit me, except a body. Before I get the chance to check who it was, it looked like they were already gone.

"Sorry, and happy birthday!" A soft female voice, says behind me. I quickly get up an' turn around ta see the woman speakin'. That is when I see Selina, holdin' my necklace, I was gifted, in her grasp.

"Ivy..." I whisper to myself, lookin' at tha necklace. "Kitty, please... you know how much that necklace means ta me.."

"Sorry, Harleen. I made a deal." She sigh.

"Selina!" I yell in tears.

"What the fuck is up with you? Why does that piece of shit matter? I can get you another?" He says.

"You..." I say, walking up to him an' pinning him against a wall. "You didn't give that piece of 'shit'. Ivy did! You're the real piece of shit! Fuck you! Fuck you!" I scream an' cry. I pick up my bat an' beat 'em with it. He drops ta tha floor. We are so fixated on each other, we don't even see them leave with tha necklace an' the child. 

Joker ends up catching the bat, I don't let go. I kick him in his stomach, he screams in pain but grabs a crowbar a few feet away from him. "You and these damn crowbars!" I shout. He hits my ribs repeatedly. I try my best to stand my ground but my knees give out. It becomes a blood bath. But this time, it isn't just my blood..

As Batman and I escape in the night, he glides over to a building with his grappling hook, with the kid, while I run on top of roof tops and use my whip. He stops at a building near by to I jump to that one. without making a noice, I walk up behind him.

"Selina, come here." He says sternly.

"Hm? How did you know I was here?" I ask walking up beside him.

"Why you steal that necklace?" He asks followed by him grabbing my waist.

"I made a deal." I smirk, placing my hand on his chest.

"Yuck!" Says the brat, behind us.

"With?" Batman says, completely ignoring the kid. I feel my eyes lids lower.

"Like you can't put two and two together and make that work." I hiss at him, knowing he knew the answer to his question.

"We should go and drop this kid off." He says.

"We? I have to go." I question him, raising an eyebrow.

"You don't have to come. You're not my sidekick." He says, clearing his throat and I can't help but grin.

"No, I'm your partner." I say, fixing my goggles before stepping to the edge."

"Right, my partner..." He sounds like he is questioning everything. I chuckle.

"I don't know whether to bite you or kiss you."

"Kiss me." He demands.

"Maybe next time. Now, I have to meet up with the new owner of this necklace." I say, diving head first toward the concrete ground. I use my whip to grab a rail on the side of a building before disappearing into the night, but leading the way to Commissioner Gordon's police department... for Batman...

I have a bag with me, as I check inta a hotel with one bed. I sit there and sob for a minute. I finally get up, and cleaning my face. I take out a cupcake and candle I had fer my party... I light the candle up.

"Happy birthday to me..." I say. I sit in a dark room, with a singular cupcake and candle, in front of me. I wish, and I wish hard. I blow out my candle and call it a hell of a night..
