Madhouse

#6 Harley Quinn/ Back to Back

Two weeks have passed since our anniversary with Mason an it killed me to be lyin' all this time to him. But he was no different, I still had to figure out if what Mistah Jay told me was true?

The voices in ma head had faded and I was glad for that, after all they were only with me because of him...

I rolled ma eyes as Ivy continued talkin' about some kind of plant she wanted to get. My eyes wondered round the room as Mason was makin' dinner and Red was blabberin'.

I stood up havin' enough of all 'a this and clamped down ma hands on the table standin' up.

"Harley?" Red said in a husky voice

"I have to tell him Red, I've had enough and I wanna know the truth too!" I told her

"Are you sure? Let's talk this through." She sat in her chair twistin' her red hair on her finger. I shook my head my eyebrows going up as she licked her lips knowin' what was going down.

I inhaled and walked over to Mason.

"Honey I need ta talk to ya..." I trailed off smiling'.

I wrapped my hands around his waist as he turned around and kissed my forehead.

"Yeah what's up?" His face and his eyes looked soft and sweet.

"I got told some things..." I kept on smilin'

"Yeah?" He said in a jolly tone.

"Well...that you work for the FBI and that you were only usin' me cause of a case." I bit my lip lookin' for his response.

His face went serious as he let go of my waist and looked to the ground, "Who told you that?"

"Umm it's confidential?" I grinned as the words Mistah Jay told me sank it, it was true! I got used again an I actually fell fer it!

"Tell me who the fuck told you Harley!" He grabbed ma shoulders as I prepared fer the blow.

"Y-you think I'm scared of ya? Well the jokes on you Mistah cause I've seen scary and you ain't got his smile!" I blurted out as he chuckled deeply.

"Oh Harley I'm not gonna hit you..." He looked down at me, "I just know you won't look at me the same way anymore."

"Yeah you're right I won't Mason! I feel, I feel so used after Mistah J, I actually had faith in you! And to believe that you actually played me!" I shouted pushin' his chest away but he grabbed ma hand quickly.

"Let go 'a me Mason we're done here!" I screamed tears burnin' at the sides of ma eyes.

"No I won't Harley, all 'a this can't end like this! I just want ya to know that I'm sorry! You know I actually fell in love with you..."

"Aww really Mason? Me too..." I smiled but snapped back, I rolled my eyes to prevent tears falling', "no Mason I-I've decided, no more!"

His eyes closed shut and he exhaled lowly "So this is it?" His lips formed into a thin line.

I nodded.

He slowly took off his apron in which he looked adorable in and left. I kept standin' in the kitchen starin' at the floor until Ivy came.

"Didn't go well did it Harl?" I nodded as I had begun to cry ma hands shakin'. Her arms wrapped around ma body as she stroke my back to calm me down, "Shhhh it'll be ok baby, shhhh."

"I-I decided no no more guys, they always ruin everythin'" I mumbled under ma breath feelin' the lump in ma throat.

I flet Red nod at ma shoulder as she spoke up, "Ya know what can make you happy?"

I shook ma head against her chest.

"Well we can always rob a bank, blow things up or get the plant that I was tellin' you about."

My eyes lit up and my lips curled up in a little smile. "Let's do it then!"

She let go 'a me and I wondered off into my room to put my clothes on. Rummagin' through the closet brought back memories cause I still had the jester costume with me and the dress I wore on mine and Mason's anniversary.

Although I decided to put on my usual red and black clothin' for this plant robbery, everyone knew me as Harley when I wore it. I looked over at the jester costume an imagined it on me as if me and Mistah J were together just yesterday.

"No more guys!" I told ma self and took my revolver an my mallet.

I grinned as me and Red walked down the stairs together not lookin' suspicious at all. "So what's the plan Pammie?"

"We gotta get to the Gotham Laboratory where they do experiments on poor plants!" She sniffled.

"And poor animals right Red? You'll let me rescue them too?!" I said with enthusiasm

She gave me a death glare an I instantly shut up gulpin'.

It was the evenin' and the sun was settin' down, we kept walkin' and walking' goosebumps creepin' up ma skin. I knew that Batman was on patrol tonight but that didn't bother me one bit, it was Mason who was botherin' me. I grinned tried to get him outta ma head. Suddenly Red took my hand in hers and lead me into an alley quickly.

"What's wrong?" I tilted ma head.

She pushed me against the wall starin' into my blue eyes as my breathin' became faster. "If you don't want a relationship with guys I'm always here." She smirked.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her neck our lips meeting in a passionate kiss. Her hands rested on my hips as I pressed her body tightly against mine. I was glad I had her...

She pulled away leavin' me breathless.

She licked her lips "You taste like cherries." I chuckled and bit my lip.

"And you taste like greens!" I laughed as she pushed me lightly walkin' away, "Wait up Red! I was only jokin'!"

She already was outta my sight. "Damn it!" I shouted as I ran and found her standin' in front of a buildin'.

"C'mon Red I was only jo-" She put her finger over my mouth to shush me as I nodded playfully. She gestured fer me to follow her slowly and I did as I was told.

The buildin' sat at the end of a weed infested gravel driveway. The roses which had once given it a nice look had gone wild, the vines diggin' into the broken clapboards as though they wanted to drag the house into the earth.

A few patches of paint remained in the places sheltered from the weather, the cheery yellow now more of a sickly white. The entire house slumped a bit to one side, the foundation having subsided an it gave the impression that the buildin' had simply given up any hope of ever being a home again.

"Sneak sneak peek! Sneak sneak peek!" I blurted out laughin'.

She turned around and glared at me as I gulped. We slowly entered the buildin'.

"Now now Harley, go distract the guards while I get the plant." She smiled as I looked at the dull corridor in front of me.

"R-red I don't think that's a good a idea-" I looked around but she was already gone, "Just great..."

I walked lookin' around an then noticed a room.

The room was dark, so dark. I made sure my eyes were open, fearing I had gone blind. I couldn't see my hands, even though they was literally an inch from my face. I gathered my courage to call out a hello, hopin' against hope that someone would answer.

Nobody did.

Panic. Panic shot through 'a me. The guards must of known we were gonna be here but how?

"HEEEELLLPPPPP!!" I heard a voice call out from a floor above.

"RED!" I shouted as I looked fer the stairs. I finally found em at the end of the corridor and raced up em.

"Red? Red where are you??" I screamed in a hurry ta find ma best friend.

I heard a laugh an I couldn't believe my ears, Amanda Waller but what did she want? Somethin' hard hit my head an I was knocked out cold.
