Mischief and Madness

"Hang on Phantom." He told me picking me up. Blood continued to escape from my throat coating Deadshot in crimson. "I'll get you somewhere safe." He told me attempting to keep my head up. I only whined and felt myself slipping away as he carried me. We soon reach a car but I black out thinking that was the end but I wake up on a couch, it seems im not in pain anymore.

"D...Deadshot?" I squeak finding it difficult to speak.

Someone walked into view. "Shush Phantom save your voice he managed to skim your vocal chords." He told me. I looked up at him with pleading eyes. "No, if I contact Harley Joker will follow her and I can't have him knowing, I understand you're closer to your mother Phantom but Joker would kill me." He explained.  I just dropped my head and pined.  "When you're  well I shall bring you  home." He finished giving me a glass of water and painkillers.

Deadshot stayed by my side carefully watching me, within a couple of days I was able to sit up and it wasn't painful to swallow. "Your mother is on her way." He told me, sitting on the couch next to me. I just smiled since I still found my throat again to be somewhat sore, and it made conversation difficult. I turned over with my back facing Deadshot. I managed to drift off once again, the pillow clutched in my arms. I'm soon awoken to a pair of arms around me.

"Oh Phantom Hun, don't you dare run off again!" She exclaimed clutching me close.

"Harley she can't talk, her vocal chords are busted." Deadshot told her. Harley pulled back and rested two hands on my face.

"Oh my poor villain." She said softly.

"They'll heal but with time." He said.

"Thank you so much Deadshot!" She exclaimed standing up and dragging me with her.

"Just make sure, she's safe, and that I don't have to save her again." He added.

"I shan't." She said and walked me out of the apartment and into the car awaiting outside.

"J. . . I. . . Is going to be furious." I said stuttering, and forcing myself to speak.

"Take it slow." She reminded me.

"How am I supposed to explain to him what happened?" I asked my voice barely above a whisper.

"I'll relay it." She told me. I just nodded and remained silent now knowing I was going to be safe and happy.  She drove slow for once it was almost like she wasn't in a rush. "J and I was worried when you left, I had to stop him searching for you." She said.

"W. . . Why?" I wheezed.

"Because I knew it would turn into a fight and one of you would be worse off," she explained.  I nodded and looked out of the window.

"I. . . I w. . .would win," I giggled and wheezed in pain. Harley looked over at me and smiled.

"That's my little villain i am sure you could," she said.
