Promise (Raphael X Reader)

15

Last but not least your custom. Yes, that is Harley Quinn, more specifically Unhinged Harley Quinn. You don't have to use this one you can make one up.

The day was hectic. Jason and Damian were basically avoiding the suits. Barbara and I have been out of the house getting our hair and makeup done. Good thing we got our nails done two days before. I think what is stressing me out the most is the turtles. I know they've never been to an event where they had to dress up or anything. The past few days according to Robin and Red Hood they have been asking them questions. They text me too here and there, but I guess maybe they feel embarrassed that they rather ask the boys.
"Wait so why does Leo not like you?" Barbara asks me.
"I'm not sure honestly. Maybe he thinks I'm a bad influence on Raph since when he met me he was sneaking out and hiding me from them." I answer not entirely sure myself.
"Or maybe he doesn't trust me because he can see that I'm hiding something." I pause.
Barbara looks at me, "You can't hide it forever. One night when you're patrolling with the boys he might see Jester, then what?" She whispers to me. Barbara and Richard knew me and the boys have been on patrol after our classes and studies, but not about the turtles, outside of Damian and Jason.
"I know." I slightly whine "I just need to figure out how to tell him or maybe even see that my moms  aren't bad... Anymore, because I won't be able to hide who they were either."
"So they still see her as a villain even though, she hasn't committed a single crime since you were conceived. You're how old?" Barbs rhetorically ask me.
"You know how the media is. They always twist the story for views. You can find the cure for cancer and end world hunger, but sometimes all people see is the bad things in the past. Not that I can blame anyone from what I read and saw, it wasn't like she robbed a bank one time and then changed her life. She did it for Joker, and chaos for the sake of chaos." We continued to whisper among ourselves until we were done with the dryer.

Time skip to back at home
"Ugh, finally." Barbara and I both say as we entered.
"Now we have to put on our dresses." She says.
I roll my eyes, "I guess the faster it's done the better."
The house was ready for tonight since last night. Barbara and I cooked most of the appetizers, the rest we ordered and it got here this morning. Bruce has the Champagne and Wine ready in a wine fridge that's in the kitchen. Jason, Damian, and Richard decorated and cleaned up.
As I head upstairs I see Richard knocking on Jason's door.
"You're not going to make him put on his suit that way." I tell him.
"Then what do you suggest?" He asks me. I pause. "Tell them that, they can patrol after the party." I shrug, "Or get Bruce."
"Jason if you don't get ready I'll tell Bruce you and Damian have been out at night." Richard threatens him. Not a second later Jason and Damian come out the room. "Okay okay, we give." Jason held his hands up in surrender.
Going to my room I pull out my dresses. Trying each red dress on I finally chose one that had a single slit. I carefully put it on as to not ruin my hair or makeup. Looking at myself in the mirror. I realized I was nervous. I look outside thankful that the snow hasn't slowed anything down. Tonight Raphael is going to meet both of my moms. Raphael and his brothers will be seen but they will look human. I took a deep breath knowing I still have to put on heels or flats. Grabbing a pair of shoes that matched my dress, I put them on and then headed downstairs knowing guest will be showing up soon.

After greeting the guest I was talking to my mom, Oliver, and Dinah.
"Harley and (y/n) how are you two?" Dinah asked.
"I think we're okay." My mom answers.
"I'm actually getting As in my classes, and um I guess before they show up. I have a boyfriend." I couldn't look them in the eye.
"And why am I hearing about him now?" My mom looked at me.
"Same reason no one else did." I shrug.
"Like mother, like daughter." Oliver chuckled.
Oliver and Dinah are my godparents after my mom helped Dinah when she was pregnant. When she was first pregnant he started attacking us. My mom did everything to protect her, she knew how hard it was to fight crime and carry a child.
