Red Hood and Harley

Two Weeks Later

Jason had been watching the clown trio for two weeks now. Harley was never let out alone and Joker rarely left at all and never without at least 5 guards surrounding them. Harley however seemed out of it. He watched as she twirled hair on her finger and giggled constantly at nothing. He watched as she literally gave herself to be Joker's plaything.

Jester whenever around them and not at his own club looked sick and guilty avoiding eye contact with his mom and staring daggers into his father's back. Jason knew Joker had done something to Harley. He just wasn't sure what, it was something in the office and bedroom of the penthouse. Only 2 rooms without cameras, Jason hoped it wasn't anything permanent. It had taken a long time to fix his loony toons from the last number Joker did on her.

Harley begged Joker, "please puddin please I feel like shit! Just a lil?"

Joker sighed and smiled, "oh pooh, I could never tell you no!"

Harley was covered in bruises, handprints, bite Marks and cuts... not that she even noticed. She only noticed if Joker wasn't with her or when she was out of giggles. Both making her a terror and extremely unhappy. The last 2 weeks had been wonderful for Joker, when he wasn't plotting his revenge he was fucking Harley, keeping Harley high or frying her brain with electroshock. She was becoming his old harlequin again, no mention of twins or Jason in a week. It was time to send her back, shatter Todd. Let her come back to him. Let the bat family know who owns her. Nobody took Joker's playthings. He already had a chemist prepare a withdrawal cure for him once the final part happened. Joker was getting Harley pregnant again, giving her the family she wanted. The son she lost and hopefully forgetting about the silliness she had at the Wayne Manor. This wasn't just revenge, the end goal was to destroy Jason Todd and make him beg Joker to kill him again... and this time he was going to stay dead and gone.

Jason went home to tuck the kids in and put them to bed finally after seeing Harley yet again wouldn't be alone. A few hours after being home there was a knock on the Manor door and sobbing laughter.... Harley.

Jason flung the door open to a beaten and hysterical Harley and her backpack. Jason pulled her inside and she began slapping him away, "no don't you fucking touch me. This is your fault! Mistah J left me, it's all your fault!" She sobbed giant tears as Jason studied his girl silently. Burn marks on her temples showed shock 'therapy', bruised track marks showed he was giving her something and the rest looked like normal Joker beating Harley.

"Loony tunes, baby I love you! You love me! Our babies? You remember?"

Harley glared, "I know you tricked me into killing my puddin and having your babies. I need to sleep. I need to clear my mind. My head hurts and I haven't slept in awhile."

Jason took Harley up to their room and let her shower.

The water shut off and Jason listened for sobs or the sounds of something sinister. But only silence, suddenly fits of laughter came from behind the door. Harley stepped out in a tshirt and underwear moments later, smiling.

Jason looked at her in confusion, "baby, what did he do to you? Talk to me." He noticed her pupils large and a light sweat on her brow, she was on something.

Harley shrugged, "I don't know. Nothing? I need sleep. I'm confused J." She burst into laughter again, "oh Jason you have no idea how wonderful it is to be free again. Trying to be something I'm not for you and Bruce and the kids, it was killin me." Harley walked around to her side of the bed carrying a backpack and laid down before giving into fits of laughter and eventually sleep.

Jason laid next to her for hours before sleep stole his thoughts.

Sunlight flooded the room as Jason woke up to Harley twisting in the sheets and crying in agony as she say up and reached into her backpack pulling out a small box. Jason stayed still and silent watching her pull out a syringe and a half full vial of green liquid. She drew it all and expertly hit her vein. Soft laughter left her lips as she put it all away and laid back down with relief. Jason frowned. Harley doesn't do drugs. What was really going on.

The shouts of daddy from the next room made him crawl from bed and start his day.

Hours later Jason went to check on Harley, be had decided not to let the kids see her yet and Bruce and Selina had agreed to take them out. As he went to open the door he froze hearing her sobs into a phone apparantly,

"please Mistah J I wanna come home. Please, I hurt. I'm sorry. I'll be a good girl!" Moments of silence. "No puddin I love you, you and Jester! Please puddin it hurts, it hurts so bad, I think I'm dying." Silence, Joker must've been talking. "Yes Mistah J I'll pack up my clothes right now. No nobody is in here with me. Mistah J I swear! Please send Ace and send some giggles??? I'm already ready! Please! No never again, none of em! I love you puddin, see ya soon!" Rustling around in her bag.

Jason stood outside the door and listened to her put her boots on sobbing in pain and push the window open.

Once he knew she was gone he went into the room with sadness replaced by rage.

Jason knew now the change in Harley and he was going to fix her. He just needed whatever she called giggles.
