It's been bothering her. The thought of Bruce having any sort of feelings for her, the once villain who got a pass to becoming a hero. Why did he have such an interest in her; What could be the reason. As she patiently watching a building with the one on her mind at a distance she thought to herself something 'You can do better Bruce.' Bruce felt recently the constant watching from Harley, turning to her just for her to look away.

"What's on your mind?" Startling her with the sudden question, getting up from the vantage point on the building they been on walking toward her. She couldn't help being more aware of his presence or each action he did after that night. Was the reason for him even having any feeling just like an obsession. "Just a lot on my mind, thinking about..." she pause with hesitation for a millisecond looking him in the eyes. "What's the reason to keeping me around Bats." She already let out this much as Bruce hidden stare continue to watch her.

"Do you keep me around like some sick prize for yourself, are you trying to get to Joker having me at your side!" This mask Bruce wore kept her from seeing what his true expression as he didn't let her accusation make him lose his composure from the anger on her face. "That's not true Harley." He tried to reach her but his stoic voice trigger her not expecting his hand to get slap away from her. "What the fuck is wrong with you! I've killed people for fun." Harley moving closer to Bruce. "I helped in bloodshed that I'm the reason families in Gotham are torn apart. I'm not a good person Bats." She knew she caused him to be further alone, his own family couldn't stand the idea of her being around when she showed up at his mansion. She didn't need to know what they said to clearly see they didn't agree with his choice.

He broke the distance with her to comfort in a hug. "You're right Harley. You done more harm than good and no one will ever forgive you for what you done. What you can do is at least change for the better." She felt her tears build up, running down her face not giving him a glance while she buried herself into his chest. His hands running through her blonde hair, he knew that he was wrong for what he was doing with her, Bruce sometimes live in between the line himself. "You'll carry your sins forever and they will haunt you. Reminding you of your past each time," As he gently move her head wanting to see her as he said this.

"Redeem yourself Harley and never forget why you left who you use to be to become who you are now." She really couldn't let go of what her mind kept telling her but she resist herself from doing it even as she stared at his mouth. She push away from Bruce not knowing if he had answered her question at all. "Thanks Bats." Harley felt refresh with motivation on top of a sudden jolt of newfound energy. "When we're done with this, let's watch a show together on all those streaming services you got Bats." Bruce love seeing her smile, she seem to be at awe herself because his mask couldn't hide one thing. His own smile.
