Harley

Distance

Jack's POV

It had been three weeks since I was picked up to come and work for Victor. Within that time I was taught skills on how to be the prefect criminal. Harley, I haven't seen her since the last time she came and visited Vic and Rosa. I miss her incredibly as well as my parents. Every now and then I'm able to call them and tell them how great my apartment is and that the job is going good. I was made aware that if I told them what was happening I would be killed. Today me and some of the other newer boys were pulling a job today, my very first job and to tell you the truth I was very nervous. 

I went down and waited in the lobby with the other men waiting for Vic to come down from his office and leave for the job. I played with my hands in my lap when Victor came down and told us to start getting into the cars. As we headed for the door and walked outside to the cars Harley had pulled up and got out of her car. She glanced over at me but continued to Victor and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Ah boys, my Harley will be joining us today to show you guys how its done. Alrighty lets head out" 

Victor was running short on cash and needed money to keep up the hideout and his lifestyle. We headed towards a bank on the north side of Gotham that he must of not hit yet. As we approached the bank we pulled in to a dirty alley way leaving two men behind with the cars ready for a quick get away. We headed in to the bank.

"Ladies and gentle man may I please have your attention?! Now unless you went a bullet in your teeth I suggest you cooperate" Harley screamed. The people inside the bank dropped to the floor and waited for us to zip tie their hands behind their backs. "Im sorry" I said to the first person I zip tied, it was just a helpless old woman. I saw the fear in her eyes and I felt awful for what we were doing but it had to be done. Harley went up to the three bank tellers at the window and ordered them to empty the money into the duffle bags some of the man had carried in. When one of the tellers turned to get the money they hit a button that set off alarms and warned the police. "God dammit woman" Harley sneered and held up her gun and shot. The tellers body dropped to the floor. There was so much blood. Too much for me. I was stuck in a daze looking at the scene before me when one of the banks windows had shattered and there was Gotham's favorite vigilante standing before us. 

"Batsy, batsy, batsy always here to ruin our fun" Harley said with a devilish smirk. 

"Harley, Victor your coming with me tonight this is the last time I'm letting you get away with this bullshit." 

"Get him boys now!" Victor yelled and some of the boys went to fight off Batman. It was like I was paralyzed I wanted to move but I just couldn't. Batman easily got through the men who set out to stop him and headed towards Harley. They started to hit each other over and over again until Batman got the upper hand over her and had her pinned to the ground. He was hurting her. My Harley Quinn she needed someone to help her. My legs started to move as I reached for my purple switch blade stabbing it into Batman's arm. Causing him tho roll off of her in pain grabbing for his arm. "Holy shit, holy shit, I..I just stabbed Batman. Oh my god Im going to jail..I..I didn't know what came over me"

"Oh shut the hell up you pussy and lets go" Harley said as she got up grabbing for one of the filled duffle bags. 

"Quinn" Batman said getting up slowly and pulling the knife out of his arm tossing it to the ground. He started to come after Harley again. She quickly grabbed a small ball from her back pocket and threw it hard on the ground. Smoke started to rapidly spur out of it causing Batman to double over with laughter. "Lets go and don't you fucking dare of breathing, Im not dealing with you laughing the whole car ride back" 

We got out of to the alley way and there was nothing but concrete walls and garbage riddled ground. They had left us behind for dead. "You gotta be fucking kidding me, those fuckers left us behind" She screamed out. A squad car pulled into the alley way, she looked over and saw it coming grabbing my hand and pulling me in to the building across from the bank. We ran up flights of stairs until we found a empty office building. "They did this once to me and I just had to stay put until they came back the next day, its not safe for us to leave. Listen you can have the office couch and ill take the floor."

"Harls take the couch please"

"Dont. Don't call me Harls"

"Harls I'm sorry okay. What do you want me to say other than I'm fucking sorry. What was I supposed to do when you're the one that walked out on me. For months on end I looked for you and missed you. I fell.. I fell hard for you Harley and you left me" I screamed. I couldn't stop my eyes from watering. All this built up emotions I had kept inside me were now coming out. 

"Look at me, you think I wanted you to see me like this? I was scared Jack so I took off."

"You're beautiful Harls" I mumbled 

"Im what?" she said looking at me.

"You're fucking beautiful Harley" I said with irritation. I couldn't stop the tears from flooding down my face. I put my face into my hands and cried. I didn't care if she saw me this weak. I couldn't help this aching pain I had kept inside me this whole time. I was so strong until now. She stood there for a moment longer and then came and sat next to me on the couch. She rested her hand on top of my thigh letting me know that she was there. 

"I panicked and I was scared, please forgive me?"

I kept looking down sobbing. Her petite hand grabbed my cheek forcing me to look at her.

"Please forgive me Jack"

I couldn't hold it in any longer, I leaned in a kissed her with everything in me.
