(Hey guys I'm back! So this chapter will be a little sad 😬. It will have to do with well, the past obviously👆🏼. Who's past tho??? Read too find out!😁🤭)

    Harley and J escaped from a bank robbery in Gotham City. The money was in the van that Frost was driving in. He didn't get caught but of course Harley and J would be recognized. It was about 2 am in Gotham and Harley was tired. "Oh J.. I'm.. so tired! Did we seriously have to run ALL the way on the other side of Gotham! My legs hurt. Carry me!" She smiled. J was too busy looking for a place to crash. Whatever would do in this situation. "Harley shut up I'm trying to find a place where we can hide out until tomorrow night. I'm not going to carry you either. You're a big girl" Harley frowned. "Whateva. First ya say that I'm ya little minx and the next ya call me a big girl! I don't understand ya J. Wait.... until tomorrow night! Why!!!" She complained. She hated staying in hideouts. Especially if they're dirty and smelly. J gave her a stern look and pointed his finger at her. "Would you rather get caught by the cops or the bat and go back to sweet old Arkham! The choice is yours! So you can either come with me and stick with this or you can go on your merry way back to Arkham! Clearly I don't care!" Harley kept her mouth shut and followed J to wherever he was going. She looked around to see if she could find any place to stay and she did. "Hey J why not over there! It's in the alley. It looks like an apartment. Let's stay there!" J looked to where she was pointing and it looked familiar to him but he couldn't point out why he was so familiar with it. "It looks crappy Harls" Harley rolled her eyes without J noticing. "Well it's the most decent place we can get! Come on everywhere else is damaged. Haha damaged" She pointed at his tattoo on his forehead but he didn't laugh along. He just had a serious face. "Okay geez sorry. But seriously we should go there I mean it's like hidden in the alley. Even though this place is an old apartment complex. Come on J please! I'll make it up to ya" She said biting her lip. "I mean come on. There's no one around and we can be as loud as we want!" J laughed. "Harls, we both know that even though there are no people around here, someone would still hear you're little noises" Harley giggled. "Probably. Let's go!" She grabbed his hand and ran to the dark, shady apartment.

    They walked in and it had a nice view of the city but nothing compared to their place. "Huh, it's not terrible but it's horrible. What do ya think J?" J felt different in this apartment. It just felt weirdly like home. He looked in the kitchen. There were faded photos and he couldn't quite get to see who was in them. "J? Why are ya investigating this place? It's fine. Ya okay?" J looked back at her. "Uh yeah. Yeah Harls I'm fine. I'm just making sure that there are no rats or bugs cause I know how much you hate those things" Harley shrugged her shoulders. "Well thanks J. Although sometimes I do think that they're kinda cute but NOT the bugs. Ugh they're so annoyin. I'd kill one if I saw one" J hardly listened. He was too busy looking around the apartment. There was only one bedroom. He looked in it and saw a bed and a crib next to it. Then it finally hit him. This was his old apartment before he became the Joker. Harley walked in and saw the room. "Aww a crib! How cute! There was probably a family here! But... what happened to the family? Oh whateva. Probably moved out" She walked closer to J. Placing her hand on his shoulder. "J? Are ya okay? What's wrong?" J tried to hold the tears in. He couldn't make it obvious. Harley would ask a billion questions if she found out. "Nothing's wrong Harls. Let's get outta here. This place is trash. In fact let's burn it. Come on" Harley stopped J. "Wait J. If we do that then people and even batman will know that we were here. We can't do that! What's wrong with this place J? Please I don't understand?" J was getting angry. "No questions Harley. Just do as I say!" Harley looked down. J barged out of the room and out of the apartment. Harley quickly ran after him but before she did that she grabbed some of the photos that were around the place and on the fridge. "HARLEY HURRY THE HELL UP!" She jumped and ran out of the apartment. He was already outside of the apartments. She stuffed the photos in her bra and ran too where he was. "J?" He was sitting on the bench waiting for her. "Finally. You run so slow Harls" She squinted her eyes. "I do not run slow J. I actually run a pretty decent pace. Why did you hate that apartment so much?" J looked at her. "No questions Harls. Especially about that place" She bit her lip trying to not ask anymore questions. "Come on. Let's go home" He grabbed her hand but then she stopped him from walking any further. "Harls let go. Now" He said with a stirn look. She looked at him then back at the apartment building. He grabbed her face and kissed her. She followed. With his hands on her face he looked deeply into her eyes. "Harls you don't need to know what that place is ok? Trust me" She looked in his eyes and saw sadness. She's never seen him so down about an apartment before. "Okay J. I understand" He smiled. "Good. Now let's go. I'm sure we will be fine. I got you okay?" She blushed. "Okay".
