The Greek Bat (NonMythological Version)

Chapter 24: Girls Night Out

So, apparently when you experience Fear Gas, the initial fear doesn't really go away. In fact, it sort of has this lingering feeling that always makes you jumpy.

I hated it.

I don't know how many times I jumped whenever Bruce does something that use to be normal.

Example: entering a room silently.

Other Example: Simply placing a hand on my shoulder when I might zone out.

Really, it was annoying.

Because it also turns out that the Joker can be quite protective. Especially when Bruce (as Batman) tells Joker about my jumpiness.

Really shouldn't Bruce be beating Joker up and not talking to him about me? Some parenting.

But on that note, you know something is amiss when Harley kidnaps you and not the Joker.

"Where are we going?" I asked her as we were going down one of Gotham's roads, that is after texting Bruce that I was Harley-Napped.

"We're meeting one of my friends Sugar." Harley replied sweetly and I felt my curiosity peak.

"And do what?" I questioned with a small tilt of my head as I stared out of the car window memorizing the streets and where we came from; just in case you know.

"Girls night out." She just replied making me confused and for some reason stare downward for a second before looking at Harley, "I'm like, 98% sure I don't have those type of parts. And about 95% sure I'm not transgender." I replied

"Of course, but the ladies and I have been talking and you are officially going to be part of Ladies-Night-Out with us." Harley said giggling lightly and just grinning in general.

"Oh...How often are these nights out?" I asked because I definitively wasn't going to turn this down. How often does a guy get invited to these type of things and actually get to learn about what the hell females do during those Girl-Night-Outs?

"Every Thursday." Harley replied with a small, happy chirp at the end.

"Oh, alright." I said slightly with a shrug and let the silence wrap around the car as I tried to think who else might be at this Ladies-Night-Out.

I was almost too-wrapped in my thinking because I had just zoned back in when we reached some sort of greenhouse.

"Uh, why are we here?" I asked trying to think why the heck we would met here of all of Gotham's places.

Harley just giggled, "Come on Sugar, the girls are already inside."

My confusion didn't leave me until I stepped inside and almost face-palmed. Of course, Poison Ivy was always associated with Greenhouses and plants. How could I have been so stupid and not have realized sooner.

I just sighed at myself before focusing on the other woman in the room and felt my eyebrows raised.

"Morgan Le Fay mother of Mordred the child that really should grow up, or did last I hacked from the Justice League. Lady Shiva who trained Batman and bit but has a knack for agility and just an all out bad ass. Poison Ivy who extremely loves plant live, which I can respect. Then of course Catwoman and Harley Quinn." I listed off surprised that Morgan Le Fay is here along with Lady Shiva.

"I'm impressed. Not many know of me." Morgan Le Fay said, her golden mask shining slightly in the lighting of the greenhouse.

"It is an honor to meet you, your highness." I said bowing slightly in respect, which is true because she was the sister of the great King Arthur and knew Merlin.

Even though she had a mask over her face, I felt like she was grinning at me slightly because she didn't comment about anything else.

Suddenly there was a squeal and I was being squished to death by a hug and when I was able to properly see from the female chest, I saw that Catwoman was hugging me.

"Little Percy! I'm sorry about last time! Oh my god you are adorable and I totally love Bruce for taking you in." Catwoman--Selina Kyle--said as she continued to kill me to death via hug.

"Enough Catsy, let Little J go." Harley said sternly except she was grinning in good nature. Selina let me go with a pout as I quickly moved away from the crazy woman and instead went toward Lady Shiva.

"It is an honor to met you Lady Shiva." I said politely and held out my hand for her to shake, which she did after some hesitation.

"You to Percy Wayne." Lady Shiva said and I felt my confusion spike when she said Wayne.

It was never publicly announced, how Bruce adopted me in a way, sure he was my uncle but this made it super official and was practically adoption. (Okay, I have no idea if this this a real thing, I sorta just want Percy to be a Wayne.)

We chatted for a little bit before Harley declared it was time for Girls-Night to start. Which was probably the time when I was being dragged throughout the mall, scaring young men and watch as the woman tried on clothes.

Or in some cases throw me clothes for me to try on so they could then declare if I looked good or not, and then buy the good clothes.

Honestly I have no idea how women are able to do this, I was exhausted by the time they stopped and got me an ice-cream for not complaining too much.

"He lasted longer than Mistah J." Harley commented after messing up my hair further, but I Iet it slide this once after giving her a warning glare.

It was after that day I somehow became friends with the female Villains, Morgan Le Fay, Lady Shiva, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and well, you know Harley.

It was also the day that I really started to heal after the Scarecrow incident and had less nightmares and jumpiness.

It was also the day that I think Batman let Harley Quinn get away with just a few things; aka letting Joker out of Arkham or any of the ladies that might get thrown into the prison for villains.

Of course I never had proof of this, especially when Batman and Robin would deny it. They just didn't know about the times that Alfred would hint at how Batman or Robin may become busy when such events occur--and then give me a cookie and put the news on of said event.
