Chapter 20: PReSeNT DaY PSYCHoS

Remember in "The 'What If' Effect", the psychopaths in history, well here are the psychopaths in the present.

(TV-Truth Squad with Tad O'malley)
Tad: In other news, Mickey and Mallory Knox are still missing, after they announced they were retiring before killing a news reporter on national television, (Whispers to himself.) how I want to go out, nothing has been heard from the lovable killers, until today.
(Motel Room in Metropolis)
Mallory: Hey, Mick! Come in here! We're on TV again!
Mickey: I told you we would be. Mallory, I love you so very much, are you sure you want to do this, because there'll be no turning back?
Mallory: As sure as the day you married me.
Mickey: Then that is what we shall do.
(Mickey and Mallory kiss.)
(Meanwhile, at Freedomland Headquarters)
Dieter: (Sitting on the ground, surrounded by Golden weapons, wearing his white shirt rolled up with the top 5 buttons unbuttoned and his tie untied a little, also wearing his black SS gloves and has his golden Walter in his right hand. As Gunther walks in, he abruptly points his gun at Gunther. After he sees Gunther, he puts it down.) Where are they?
Gunther: The Joker is Forever Clan are ghosts, nobody knows where they hang out. (Dieter cracks his neck, stressed out.) I put word on the street that Freedomland is looking for the Clan. We got 1 lead from a night club that was owned by their God. What shall be our next move?
Dieter: Gather the men and get the truck, we're going for a ride. (Hellstrom lays back on the ground with his golden Walter in his right hand, and bleeds from his gums, and is surrounded by his weapons.) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaa!
(1 Hour Later-The Chatter, aka Joker's Night Club- In Joker's Old Office)
Harley: (Sitting at Joker's Desk, in a Jester Suit.) Work, work, work.
Joker: (In Harley Quinn's imagination.) Work is needed, my dear.
Harley: I love it when you're here. How can I see you?
Joker: Do you believe in ghosts?
Harley: No.
Joker: Me neither. (There's a knock on the door.)
Harley: Who is it?
Frost: It's Johnny Frost.
Harley: Come in.
Frost: (Walks in.) HQ, a man name Dieter Hellstrom wants to see you.
Harley: Who?
Frost: The Failed Experiment.
Harley: Doesn't ring a bell.
Frost: The notorious leader of Freedomland.
Harley: Oh, The Failed Experiment, send him in!
Dieter: (Walks in, wearing his SS Uniform, modified to SS bolts and FL Symbols, and his leather trench and Major hat.) Hello, Harley Quinn, is it?
Harley: Yes it is. (Stands up and shakes Dieter's hand.)
Dieter: (Takes off his hat.) So you are the leader of the Joker is Forever Clan?
Harley: Yes I am.
Dieter: Ok, great, I've been wanting to meet with you.
Harley: About?
Dieter: Well, I've been wanting to offer a deal with you.
Harley: Like?
Dieter: Well, we are a scientific research facility, and you own a lot of men. So?
Harley: Are you asking for me to give you all of my men in exchange for weapons?
Dieter: Yes.
Harley: Well the answer is no. How do I know that the research in the weapons will work?
Dieter: We have the smartest scientists in the world at our hands.
Harley: So, I don't care. That'll be the dumbest decision, to give all of my power to some wannabe Nazi psycho, and for what, some failed weapons? No thanks.
Dieter: Ok. (Puts on his hat.) I'll take my leave. (Bleeds from his gums.) Just remember that you have made a decision you'll regret later.
Harley: My loss than, huh. (Dieter wipes the blood off of his face and storms out.)
Joker: Nice move, Harley.
Harley: Thanks, Mr. J.............................
