It came by surprise. Just as I knew it would, does that make it not a surprise? Anyways it happened of all times on my first date with Wally, of freaking course. We had snuck away from the rest of the team and had dinner and a movie. It was wonderful and romantic, everything a first date should be, so of course something had to give.
"Here birdy." I heard as we sat outside the theatre, hands intertwined, talking about nothing and everyone all at once.
My head jerked up and I look over at Wally to see if he had heard it. He was looking around as if searching for the source of the sound.
"Did you hear that?" He asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"I couldn't quite make out what she said."
I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding and shrugged.
"Me neither." I lied.

"hello?" He called out.

"oh how cute!" A voice exclaimed from the darkness.

I jumped up and whirled around, there was mallet in hand with a crazy smile on her face.

Harley Quinn.

Shit.

By herself she shouldn't have been that hard to fight, but it was just me and Wally, which also wouldn't have been a big deal, except that I couldn't fight in front of him.

We were a little bit screwed

...

Wally knows how I fight, when you've been working with someone as long as we have you tend to know your partner's fighting style. Not to mention I was supposed to be completely helpless. Now i'm not saying Wally was a bad fighter or anything, it's just I didn't like the odds of him fighting her one on one. I did not want to see something happen to him, I cared to much.

She came at him, mallet raised, or course he dodged and struck out with a series of lighting fast blows, she blocked a few, but some still landed. However she caught his hands and swung him around, he landed on the ground, knocking the wind out of him. She took that as an opportunity to raise her mallet again, but thankfully he recovered and darted out of the way again. Her mallet hit the ground where he had been not seconds before. Infuriated she dropped the mallet and rushed him, catching him around the waist and bringing him to the ground where she proceeded to rapidly punch him in the face. The first one dazed him, allowing her to land even more. I couldn't just watch anymore, I launched myself at her, knocking her off of Wally. She smiled at me,

"Finally birdy, I was afraid you were just gonna let me beat up your boyfriend." Harley taunted me.

I didn't bother responding, I just punched her in the face. I was about to do more when an arrow embedded itself into her arm, she howled in pain and turned in the direction the arrow had come from. I turned as well and saw Artemis as well as the rest of the team standing there.

Game over.
