Harley Quinn x Reader 2.

Chapter Thirty-One.

You can see the mist swirling around you, ready to take you where you want you think about Harley that should be enough to find her and you were right because one minute you're with June and Josiah next your besides an unconscious Harley. You kneel and scoop her up in your arms ready to take her away when you hear the familiar laugh of Joker, he walks out from the shadows his mouth was pulled into a grin grills glinting in the light.

"I knew you would fall for the bait." You hold Harley tighter to your chest.

"What do you want?" He laughed again.

"That book I need it," he smiled, "for personal reasons of course." You shake your head.

"You're not getting that book Joker." He frowned.

"See that's where you're wrong (Y/N), I'm getting that book whether you say I can or can't right now I have my men storming the prison searching for the book," he turns away, "oh and one last thing that isn't really Harley." You look down at your arms confused.

But in your arms wasn't your girl, it was Galaxy bloodied and bruised. How did he get her? You look to Joker but he's already gone you sink to your knees and laid Galaxy down gently making sure she's okay before going on a search for your girlfriend, you can feel yourself changing from anger you try to hone in on Harley's heartbeat waiting for the 'thump bump bump' but you didn't hear it and that terrified you.

"Harley!" You call out.

No answer.

"Harls!" Your throat aches.

You open doors looking into rooms that were empty where could she be? You try listening for her heart again and this time you hear the faint beating you don't remember running but somehow you find her chained up whimpering and weak, you move towards her you're not sure if it's another trick you hope to whatever god that it's real you finally reach her you touch her cheek and she manages to look up her blue eyes were a dull grey colour ringed with red she tries to talk but it all comes out in mutters.

"Shh it's okay I'm here now." You grab at the chains and try to find a way to break them.

You focused hard on heating your hands up, if you could melt people's faces then how hard could it be to melt metal? You watched as the links grew red hot before crumbling dropping Harley's left arm, you move onto the other doing the same this time catching Harley as she drops she winces when you wrap your arm around her middle you know she's taken a beating and that only fuels your anger more. You help Harley back to Galaxy, Galaxy was awake now holding her head in her hands you make your presence known she looks up to you and practically starts crying.

"I'm so sorry," she manages to get out, "I knew he would do this I tried to stop him but I wasn't strong enough." You tell her it's okay and she gets up to grab Harley from you.

"Take her to safety, I'll be back." Galaxy nods but Harley protests.

"Don't..." She whispers.

"You can't stop me." And with that you hunt down Joker.

He isn't hard to find he's standing on the roof of the building holding a pistol in one hand while the others holding a machine gun tucked against his waist.

"I've been waiting." He turns around and the first thing you notice is how happy he looks.

"You're dead." You conjure up all you power.

You get ready, Latin incantations fall from your lips and you watch as the red mist swirls into the air causing a massive cloud to hang over you and Joker.

"How cute." He aims his machine gun at you and shoots.

You hold up your right hand palm facing the man, the bullets slow down causing ripples around them then suddenly they drop and Joker just stares at you.

"Humans are so weak... so pathetic thinking their guns can hurt a goddess of death." You don't have control of your body anymore.

"Your kind aren't worthy to walk this planet, all of you need to be exterminated." Then the mist dives down taking over Jokers body.

And you can feel him under your control, he drops his guns and starts to move to the edge of the building.

"This is the start of the new world, the start of my kingdom!" And then he steps off.

You no longer feel him and that's when the taste of death makes you sick, this wasn't your doing. You try to take control again but it felt like you were nothing against what was taking over you.

"I will make this world better, I will be its saviour." You scream for it to stop.

"There is no use human you are only a vessel."

"(Y/N)?" Your head turns involuntarily.

Harley stands well more like slumped against a vent, she's clutching her stomach blood dribbling down her mouth.

"This is the one you care for so much?" It laughed.

"(Y/N) you can do this, you're strong I believe you can fight this." You hear how her accent slowly bleeds away.

She sounds normal, she sounds scared. And that's enough for you to fight. You push yourself to take control you force yourself to be able to think clearly and it takes everything you've got but in the end you manage to push that thing down.

"Harls?" You reach out for her before dropping to your knees for what seems to be the fourth time today.

"(Y/N)." She moves to you until you're in her arms.

"I don't know how long I'll be able to hold this thing down." You tell her.

You know what's to be done. She does to. Her eyes fill with tears.

"I can't lose you again (Y/N)! I won't lose you again!" You smile up at her.

"I love you Harley." Her eyes flick to the pistol laying one foot away.

"I won't do this, you know I can't."

"You can Harley I know you can."

"Please." She's crying hard now big hot tears roll down her cheeks.

"Be the good guy Harley, stop the bad guy and be the hero." She shakes her head.

"This isn't how it's suppose to be."

"I know." You kiss her hand then nudge her hand towards the golden gun.

She grabs it even though she doesn't want to, she holds the gun to your forehead.

"I love you, you're doing the right thing, I've been fighting this for too long now." She puts her finger on the trigger.

Her hand is shaking like crazy, you hold her hand your finger moving over hers. You can feel it clawing its way back and you know if she doesn't do this now this thing will kill everyone.

"Count with me Harls." She shakes her head again.

You can feel the tears coming now.

"One," you reach up to kiss her tasting her lips once more, "two," you brush her blonde hair out of her eyes, "three." And you force her to pull the trigger.

It doesn't hurt, you don't feel a thing everything just goes quiet and still then like a movie memories play before your eyes. You smile now was your time, you went on your own terms and even though you left her behind you knew one day you would see her again.
