"This won't end well for you, Alexandria. You see, while you have me here at gunpoint, my good friend Deadshot is somewhere posted up with his trusty gun... ready to take you out as planned. Oh, and by the way...he never misses a shot." Harley smiled, as she and Alex stood inches away from each other. Alex had a gun pointed at Harley and there was no doubt in my mind that she was going to shoot her.
"I guess I'll just have to take my chances." And with that, Alex pulled the trigger, shooting Harley in the chest as she fell backwards; falling off the edge and into the vat of chemicals. She then turned and aimed the gun at Kane, shooting him directly in between the eyes. I took that as a chance to jump up and rush towards the edge, looking down to see a dead Harley, as I held Halo close to me. To my surprise, Harley was hanging onto the side, refusing to just die!
"She's not dead!" I announced, turning back to look at Alex. The look on her face was priceless, filled with both shock and anger, before the sounds of gunshots started to spread throughout the building, I ran over towards Alex, handing Halo to her, as I covered the both as best as I could. "Take Halo and get out of here!"
"What? What about you?"
"I can't leave here until Harley is dead and gone, but I promise kitten... I'll come home to you." This was hard for me to do, because I knew the outcome of what would happen. I didn't want to leave Alex or Halo, but I knew if I didn't...Harley wouldn't stop coming for me. I'd rather put myself in harms way, then to put my family in harms way. Tears filled Alex's eyes, as she grabbed Halo from me, while I took the gun from her.
"I love you so much, Alex. When this is all over...I want you to marry me." I told her, as her eyes widened. She looked up at me, probably trying to see if I was serious, which I was. It had been on my mind lately and I planned on popping the question, but these unfortunate events happened and now... it doesn't look like it'll be happening.
"Of course I'll marry you." Alex cried, wrapping her arm around me and kissing me. "I love you too. So, so much." Little did she know...this will probably be the last moments we have together, with me as Jack. If I'm lucky, me falling into these chemicals wouldn't have the same effect on me, but I knew better. I knew that it was only a matter of time before Joker made his way out of me, and only because I wanted to save my family...I was going to gladly accept him this time around.
"ALEX! JACK! WE GOTTA GO!" We heard Frost yell.
"Go Alex." I told her. I let her hand go and turned away from her, walking back towards the edge, as I jumped off the ledge.
"JACK, NO!" I heard Alex yell, as I grabbed Harley, bringing her down into the boiling hot chemicals with me.

It was as if Deja Vu had taken over me, as I swam up to the surface with Harley in my arms. She was bleeding badly, as her bleached blonde hair grew blonder, as our clothes sizzled and melted against our skin. She seemed to be out of it, as I slowly allowed her body to drop from my arms, but then her eyes shot open.
"Puddin'? You're back!" She smiled, throwing her arms around me and kissing my neck.
"You miss me, doll face?" I smiled. She attacked me with her lips, kissing me long and hard.
"More then you'll ever know." The sound of gunshots filled my ears, as I looked around to see where the shots were coming from. "We should leave before that stupid bat swoops down and takes you from me." Bruce wouldn't do that. Then again, he'd probably take me back to Arkham and I refuse to go back to that hell hole.
"Okay honey...looks like it's just me and you. Again." I said.
"Let's do it!" We swam towards the edge and pulled ourselves out of the vat, dashing towards the back door, where Harley had a car waiting on us. We climbed inside and she told the driver to take us back to the fun house. "I'm so glad to have you back, Mistah J." She was grinning widely, all while holding on to her wounded side. Normally, I'd have Frost tend to her wounds, but he was doing something more important. He was taking care of...them. My family.
