A new job comes with a new life, litterally in this case. Harleen Quinzel, a beautiful young woman. Blonde hair always tied into a bun, blue eyes so beautiful it felt as if you were looking into a sea. She was hired as a Psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. Another psychiatrist lead her around the area, she introduced patients as well. One in particular caught Harleen's eye. "Here he is, he is known as 'Joker', the most damaged patient in this joint. Nobody dares to treat him, he is to far beyond help." Harleen touched the glass window which he was on the other side of. She looked through at him, while he layed silently on his bed. Straight jacket, green hair, white skin and red lips. She looked to the other psychiatrist and said "Tommorow, 2 pm sharp. I want to speak with him, i want to get some info on him." The doctor looked at her, eyes so wide you could see her entire iris. She just agreed and let their boss know what she was going to do. After Harleen persisted and persisted, they gave in and granted her wish.

The next day they let the glass rise and Dr. Quinzel stepped in, they immediately closed it back. He was confused, he hadn't seen a doctor in months so he didn't know what to do. He immediately sat up from his position and gave her a glance. He stared at her for a few seconds before managing to get up and walk over to her. She was sitting in a chair in his room, "Sit down Mr. Joker. I have a few questions for you." He was confused at first, but he obeyed and sat down at the table in front of her. She asked questions nobody had ever bothered to ask before, they shared a few laughs and smiled at one another every now and then. Then suddenly there session was over. It seemed so short, but in reality it had been 4 hours. They did this over and over again, every single day. Some days longer than others, but neither minded each others company.

"Dear Journal,
Why does everyone percieve him to be a monster. They think he is just a freak, a low life, a nobody! He's just a tortured soul, he needs to be loved. I know, this sounds extremely unprofessional and forbidden. But I, Harleen Quinzel, have fallen in love with my patient, Mr. J"

She ended her journal entry with a drawing of her and him with a heart in between, when suddenly someone barged into her office unannounced. She tried hiding her little confession, but they saw. "Doctor, what is wrong with you!? HE is a MONSTER! He is tricking you Dr. Quinzel wake up!". When Harleen heard those words, she felt as if a fire grew within her. She burned with rage. She quickly grabbed her box cutter while screaming "HOW DARE YOU?! MR. J WOULD NEVER!". She proceeded to scream at her while attempting to stab her with various sharp objects in sight. Suddenly near by psychiatrists ran into the room to make sure everything was alright. They eventually stopped them, and the boss fired Harleen. But she had one last wish before officially leaving, to see him one last time. To prevent another incident like before happening, they let her have one last session with him.

She explained she had been fired. "You know Dr. Quinzel, I have been living for these days with you. For once in my life, I actually felt alive." She held back the tears forming in her eyes.

"Before you go, I need you to do me a favor"
"Yes, of course. I'll do anything Mr. J"

He came closer and whispered in her ear what he needed. Her eyes widened, she knew she couldn't lose him so she followed through with the plan. "Dr. Quinzel, it's time". "O-ok" she stuttered in return. While she walked away she turned back and smiled at him, he smiled in return and mouthed '5 pm tonight' to her and she nodded.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!" All the patients and doctors at Arkham Asylum where confused. Rapid gun shots could be heard throughout the building. Joker grinned and suddenly saw a motorcycle drive right through his window and land right in front of where he layed. She took off her helmet and shook her head to fix her hair. It was Harleen, although this time she was wearing her hair down and she wore black jeans and a blue button down. She freed joker and they rode off on the motorcycle out of the asylum. She drove while he held the gun and shot the guards trying to stop them.

Once they got away from everyone, they switched places while he drove to a special place. Harleen didn't ask questions, she just held on to his back while he sped through the streets. They arrived somewhere, she didn't recognize the location but she went a long with him anyways. They entered the abandoned building. Multiple huge tubs of chemicals covered the ground below them. Harleen looked down and looked back at him. "Today is your birthday" he said. She raised an eyebrow "My birthday is in ju-". He put a finger over her mouth while dragging it down her bottom lip. He held her chin and said "Today you will be born Harley, Harley Quinn". She was confused but kept listening.

"Would you die for me"
"Yes"
"Hm thats to easy, would you live for me"
"Yes"
"Do not say this oath carelessly. Desire is surrender, surrender is power. Do you want this"
"Yes"
"Say it, pretty?"
"Please"
"Good girl"

She didn't look back. She fell back, she landed into the chemical bath. He looked down at her, her hand reached out from the unknown liquid. He took off his jacket and jumped in as well. He swam down and grabbed her and brought her to the surface. She opened her eyes and took in a deep breath. The first thing she saw was joker grinning widely, he was happier than ever. He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.

From then on, they were known as Harley Quinn and the Joker. Clown prince of crime and his jester.
