Nothing to fear but fear himself

Chapter 8- Within You Without You

        'Where.....where....where am I?' Harley asked hesitantly as she got up off the ground, noticing that she was not in Jonathan's office anymore. 'What the fuck?' She said looking around taking in her new surroundings.
She was on a weird brown tower in the middle of what appeared to be a burning Gotham city.
'Place has really gone done hill since I've been gone, eh Harls?'
Harley froze. The voice couldn't belong to who she thought it did, it just wasn't possible, but yet she knew it immediately. She turned around to see the Joker standing there in his purple suit and his green hair that she loved so much.
'Mr.J?' She said in shock facing him.
'In the living flesh!' He said with a laugh. She loved it when he laughed, in a strange way it almost made her feel safe. Her emotions changed in an instance, from depressed to overjoyed.
'OH MR.J!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!!!' She yelled happily as she ran to him hugging him.
Joker stood there, slightly hugging her back, something he didn't often do. 'Hahahahahahahahah it's not like I was dead Harley baby' he said looking down at her with a smile.
Harley looked back up at him, the joy still on her face 'But..but....but....You were!' She said as a tear rolled down her cheek. 'I love you puddin' ' and hugged him more.
'Well I'm not going anywhere any time so..............' At that moment he fell to the brown ground of the tower, Harley still rapped around him, dead.
Harley just kept hugging him, not realizing what happened at first, she felt the warmth from him disappear.
'No......no......nooooo......noooooooo.....NOOOOOOO!!! NOT AGAIN!!! MR.J!!!!!!' She screamed still hugging his now lifeless body as it laid on the cold brown surface atop the tower.
'Harley Baby!!!!!!!!' She herd from behind her, in complete disbelief she saw the Joker, alive again, standing by the edge of the tower holding a bouquet of dead roses.
Harley looked back at the lifeless body of the Joker then back at the other Joker. 'But..but.....but...' tears still running down her face.
'Surprised to see me?' Joker said with a laugh.
Harley didn't answer.
He continued laughing as he threw the dead roses over the edge of the tower one by one.
'She loves me....she loves me......and she loves me!!!' He said still laughing.
'Mr.J.... How.....how....' The only words she could get out, before being cut off by him
'Well Harley baby, if love to stay and chat buuuuuuut I gotta fly!!!' He said while laughing evilly, and pulled out a revolver. He put it to his head and pulled the trigger.
Harley was in utter disbelief, the man she loved, dead for the 3rd time, and she was powerless to stop it every time.
She broke down again and cried again.
The surrounding burning city's light faded, leaving her in complete darkness.
'Hello Ms.Quinn.' A voice that she has never herd before came out from the darkness.
'How are you feeling?' The voice continued talking to her.
She didn't answer.
'Hmmmm not well I see. We can fix that extremely quickly!' It said in a very chipper voice.
A light came from the center of the tower, illuminating the Mad Hatter. He slowly walked towards her 'My name is Jarvis Tetch, but you may call me Mad Hatter, or simply Jarvis.' putting on a smile as he introduced himself.
Harley looked at him, tears still coming down from her face 'FUCK OFF!!!!' She screamed angrily at him.
'Now that's no way to treat your host Ms.Quinn' Jarvis said with a slight giggle, still walking towards her.
She stood up and screamed at him 'GO TO FUCKING HELL YOU BASTERD!!'
Jarvis shook his head in disappointment, 'I'm trying to be nice Ms.Quinn, this can be easy or hard, and I'd prefer easy'
She broke down again as he reached her side.
'That's better Ms.Quinn, now I'm sure your looking for some answers, and I am willing to give you them.'
She looked at him and nodded.
'Good, care for a cup of tea?' He said snapping his fingers and a picnic blanket appeared in the middle of the tower, with two cups and a kettle on it. He helped her up and walked her to the blanket, handing her a cup.
'You see Harley. Can I call you Harley?' he said as he took a sip of tea.
She looked at him unresponsive.
'Well....ummmmmm... You see Harley, you are currently in a world where dreams and reality meet. But your worst fears exist here as well, and I control them thanks to the good doctor, Jonathan Crane, and Scarecrow and there fear toxin. I'm sorry about joker by the way'
Harley just stared at him, anger slowly filling her.
Jarvis noticed 'Now don't be anything stupid, we wouldn't want you too get hurt, or someone else.' He said as another Joker appeared alongside a tree with a noose around his neck standing on a stool.
Harley gasped, calming down so he wouldn't hurt him.
The hatter giggled, then looked up at the sky then yelled 'Got enough data yet Jonathan?'
No answer
'Take that as a no' he said slightly embarrassed.
'I'll cut to the chase then, you will work for Dr.Crane. You will do what he says, and to an extent what I say or else we will return you to the world, and I will kill millions of Jokers'
Harley quickly answered him. 'Yes!!!! I'll...ill do it'
'Good' Jonathan's voice said coming from the sky.
'That's all we need for now, thank you Jarvis'
The hatter tipped his hat and vanished, like the Cheshire Cat.
