"Question."

The green, chemical waste bubbled in a big tank. Harleen looked down to it as she was way above it. They stood right on the floors of Ace Chemicals, where Joker was reborn at the same day, the same place, and same chemicals.

Harleen's breathing became heavier, as she looked down to it. But soon looked away and turned to the Clown behind her. "Would you die for me?"

Harleen stared into his eyes with her Emerald ones, and soon went down to his lips before lifting it back up to his Icy Blue eyes, "Yes." She answered with no hesitation at all. Willing to do everything for him, she loved him so dearly, and nothing would change that.

"That's too easy." Be groaned, rotating his neck around before looking back at her and thought, "Would you.." He was thinking of something so difficult that could even happen, such as, "Would you live for me?" He smirked, awaiting her answer.

Harleen took deep thoughts to it, thinking how she would live for him, and of course, she recklessly and thoughtlessly said, "Yes."

Joker then held his right hand up, waving it in the air, "Careful." He whispered, and then pointed his index finger at her, "Do not say this oath thoughtlessly!"

Harleen just stood there, admiring his features, his lips, his skin, his tattoos, especially his eyes. Joker was doing the same, but in a more lowkey kind of way. "Do you want this..?" Joker whispered, his thumb then touched her lips, looking at them in the process.

Harleen's chest became heavy, her heart skipping a beat as he touched her lips. "I do." She answered, so sure of herself.

"Say it, say it." He demanded, "Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty..." He whispers as he awaits for her to beg. He wouldn't just let her go down there without her thinking she was doing this for him.

"Please."

Joker touched her cheek and grinned, "God, you're so good." He cackled lowly. "Now, jump for me."

Harleen turned back to look at the tank filled with steaming, bubbling chemicals. She turned back again and faced Joker, smiling a little as her arms raised. Joker watched her as she was getting ready to fall for him. She was that desperate to the point she will jump off a cliff.

Harleen closed her eyes and let her body push back, her feet now away from the metal floor. She embraced it, and was already ready for the fall. She knew she's going to drown, since she can't swim. And the fact it's chemical waste that would ruin her clothes and her whole body.

But she could care less.

Her whole body met with the chemicals, immediately bleaching her whole skin white, just like how Joker got his skin so pale white as snow. Her blue top began ripping apart due to how the toxins reacted with cotton. She got unconscious as her limp body sank down to the bottom of the 12 foot deep tank.

Joker on the other hand, stood there looking down the tank, staring at it for a moment before turning his back and walked off, leaving her, drowning in toxins.

But he couldn't hold it in.

He groaned at his thoughts, before he took off his grey jacket and threw it away and ran to jump off the same tank she dived in. He regretted keeping her there. He dove to the bottom and took her unconscious body on his arms and lifted her up. He looked at her one more, admiring her beauty, admiring the darkness she held in. He then leaned down to her, with no hesitation, he made his lips meet hers.

Finally. He thought.

He then pulled away as Harleen Quinzel opened her eyes and breathing for air. She got dizzy in a split moment, but her vision focused on the man she loved is front of her, the man who saved her. The man that cured her.

She smiled at him before both of them kissed once again, Harleen's hand touched the Joker's cheek as their kiss became deeper. The color of Joker's red top blends in with Harleen's blue top. Despite the pain from the chemicals and Joker being immune to it, they continued to kiss. They then pulled away to catch their breathes, and then Joker grinned and his laughs then echoed through the empty Hall.

"Puddin'!"
