Fight Back The Harley Attack

I hear a commotion. The sound of celebrating travels through the air.

"Wooo Harley's home"

"We did it, she's back!"

"It's great to have you home kitten. Isn't it great Frost?" There is a pause of silence

"Yeah, thanks to Jessie. We would all still be in Arkham if it wasn't for her. By the way, where is Jessie? Or do you just not care?"

I listen to Frost. Whilst being here I have spent a lot of time with him. In a way he has become my best friend.

"Watch you're tone Frost, sure you're valuable but you can still be replaced. "J says in a threatening tone.

"Who is Jessie?" This time, it was a feminine voice.

"A girl, don't worry about her. She's not important," J says. Those words piercing my heart.

I stand from the bed and go down the stairs. All heads turn to look at me.

"Hey. I'm glad you're all okay. The guy is still tied up in the computer room."

I'm nervous. I can feel Harley's eyes burning holes in me. I smile at her only to receive a vicious snarl back. My face changes as I look at the floor.

"You two," J announces pointing at the men
"Bring him to me". They nod, heading in to the computer room and dragging out the traitor. They slam him down in front of Js feet.

"Well, well what do we have here?" J says as he circles the man on the floor. He looks at his head. Blood dripping from it. He then looks over to me his eyes traveling over the marks on my neck.

"It seems there has been some conflict between you both. Did you choke her?"

"YES, I FUCKING DID, SHE IS A BITCH!!" the man spat and turned to glare at me. I wrap my arms around myself , turning away from his intense eyes.

"Here Jessie" I turn to J, he's holding out a gun, handing it to me.

"Take it, you caught him. You can finish him"

"You want me to kill him?"

"Yes. Now take the gun doll face."

"No."

"DO IT!!" J shouts, anger taking over him.

"No," I say in a small voice. Tears start to escape my eyes as I back away.

Suddenly Harley takes the gun from J.

"I'll do it puddin. It's obvious this girl is no use to us. Why do you even want someone like this around? She's weak."

Harley pulls the trigger. Sending a bullet into the mans head.

"You really need to toughen up, here let me help you" she flashes me a crooked smile, launching herself at me. She hits me in the face before kicking me to the ground. She continues punching me.

"FIGHT BACK!" She screeched

"No, I'm not giving you the satisfaction" I hiss at her.

She hits me again, before standing up and taking a bat from the floor. She lifts it above me about to swing.

"HARLEY, that's enough!" J commands. Frost looks at me and then at Harley. His fists clench.

"I'll just put my bat down," she laughed before swinging the bat over my head....

And then everything went black

I wake in bed, Frost is sat with me.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Terrible," I say trying to pull myself up.

"Careful, let me help you". Frosts grasps my arms helping to sit up.

"Where is J?"

"He's in the interrogation room .. with Harley. It seems he wasn't happy about what she did. So now she is being punished ". I drag myself out of bed.

"Where are you going?"

"To sort this out"

I stand outside of the interrogation room. I hear Harley's screams followed by J's laughter.

I swing open the door.

"Stop, leave her alone!"

J turns to look at me.

"Why would I stop, she likes it, don't you Kitten?"

"I love it "she saysbursting into laughter

I back out of the door closing it behind me . I head back down the hall, looking for Frost. I find him in the kitchen.

"Frost, can I ask you a favour?"

"Anything," he replies

"Teach me to fight. I'll work hard, I promise."

"I suppose it's only right you know how to protect yourself against crazy and crazier. We start tomorrow, you need to rest today. You're body has been through a lot."

"Thank you Frost."
