Red Hood and Harley

In The Morning Light

Jason heard soft whimpers as he awoke in the morning. He looked over to see Harley Quinn desperately trying to put her tattered outfit on without bending over.
"What the fuck are you doing?" He grumbled getting up stretching limbs.

Harley jumped and mumbled, "I can't be here, he will find me, he'll find me and he'll kill everyone here."

Jason swung his strong arms gently around her and growled, "hes not killing anyone and you're safe here ya ditzy blonde. Why don't you get it that I'm trying to fucking help you?"

Harley collapsed into his strong physic and sobbed, "oh I'm useless, I can't even put my pants on.... Pammie will give me green goop and I'll be good as new. I have to at least go get it. If he finds me I can't fight like this. Pu- Mistah J won't want to fight any of you first once he finds me, he will want to kill me first. I don't have a chance like this!"

Jason looked down at the broken doll he seen last night and felt his cold heart melt just a little more. "Okay Harley, no tricks. I'll take you to Ivy and we come back here and lay low, deal?"

Harley studied Jason's features for a moment and nodded before whispering, "no tricks Todd... but um does Damien got any sweats or something I can borrow. I think skin tight leather isn't going to be easy to pull on today. Ha"

Jason simply nodded and sat her down onto the bed gentle, "I'll find something".

As Jason walked down to the kitchen to tell Damien to up a tshirt and sweats he found Dick sharing his phone with the Bat brood. "I heard her start to cry and suddenly stop, I thought Jason killed her in annoyance but I found this instead!!"

Jason stomped towards Dick and snatched his phone from him, on it was a photo of him and Harley sleeping with her buried in his arms and blankets. As he went to yell at Dick and thought otherwise and simply sent himself the pic with a smirk and threw him back the phone. "You're just jealous a had a cute blonde in my bed and you fell asleep with your hand. Damien, give me some shorts or sweats and a tshirt for Harley, I don't have anything she can wear and skin tight leather isn't an good choice to sneak out in."

Damien ran off to find something as Bruce looked hard at Jason, "what are you two planning to do today? Nothing foolish with broken ribs, right?" Jason shook his head, "Nah, but sometimes the best cure for broken ribs and hearts aren't in the hands of the heros. So we are going to get her fixed up and maybe get some clothes that aren't out of a teenage boy's dresser."

Before Bruce could say another word Jason grabbed 2 cups, poured coffee and a couple muffins and walked out.

Harley was fruitlessly trying to brush out her hair with her fingers and put it into a bun hiding the colored tips of her hair. She was in Damien's sweats and tshirt looking even smaller than she did last night in her tattered clothes. Jason handed her a cup of coffee and a muffin before finishing his silently and going off to his bathroom to change.

Harley admired him walking away in nothing but pj pants and smirked thinking to herself, "those muscles... all those muscles..." shaking her head she focused on eating and drinking before he was done. She didn't want to make him mad like she does Mistah J.

Jason stood in the shower thinking about the blonde sitting on his bed. As he washed up he thought about how he would kill her if she was setting him up, until her big sad and broken blue eyes flashed in front of him. Suddenly Jason was washing his hair hard, he knew he couldn't kill her now and hoped she didn't know that. He rinsed quickly and dressed in a white tshirt and jeans before walking out of the bathroom to Harley shouting "I'm sorry I'm not done, yet!"

Jason looked up at her sitting on his bed trying to quicken her pace eating. Jason frowned, "Harley, just finish up. There's no rush and I don't have socks or shoes on... and I'd rather you not choke on muffin in my bed, nobody will believe you did it yourself." He gave a chuckle and began to dig through drawers for socks.

Harley munched on her muffin and chattered, "Mistah J rarely eats but I love food so he gets angry if I don't finish by the time he's done getting ready. I live on candy and grape soda. Ha ha. Oh man, Ivy is gonna be so surprised I when I show up with you!! Oh man, my bike, can we go get it once I'm gooped up??? I love my Harley, haha!"

Jason nodded, "yeah, I need mine too, I couldn't really put you on it in your condition last night." He noticed her muffin was gone, "Alright let's go see Ivy for this miracle gunk."

Harley nodded and slowly followed him out the door and to the Bat Cave.
