The mad jester (Harley Quinn x child reader)

We have a case

Harley
———-

Harley while still surprised looks at this Kate woman

"Now, we have to build your case, why don't you tell me what happened before you were arrested"

Harley nods
"How far back do you want?"

"How about the last time you escaped?"

Harley nods again
"Well escape wasn't the right word, it's more like I was dragged out by joker, at the time I still idealized him in an unhealthy way, I hadn't been looking at all the physiological signs, after I got out i layer low in a hide out, stayed out of his plans, but at home the abuse started to get to me, it was when I was shoved out a window for trying to help that opened my eyes "

She sighs thinking of all the details
"Finally he was heading out of town for business and I left, I blew up the hideout of his I had been in taking what was mine, I saw an add for the Gotham apartments so I went their and did an interview and paid in full up front, while I was moving in I heard something happening outside so I looked and say y/n being mugged "

Kate leans forward, she was writing every word down
"Who is this y/n your talking about?"

Harley smiles
"Y/n is a child around 6, cutest little one I've ever seen so I jumped down and helped the child, I brought them to my apartment and offered to let them stay, I fed them, gave them a place to sleep and we even watched that thing with bane in the streets with batman not to long ago "

Kate nods writing it all down
"Uh Huh, so tell me what happened on the day of your arrest?"

"Well I wanted to see my friends, so I called up my best friends, I don't have many others, anyways we decided to go shopping because my apartment was completely empty, so we did and I even paid for it and let them keep the change"

Harley looks around then across the way to ivy who was sleeping

"We were happy, just Having fun, I hadn't thought of a single thing other then providing for that kid......then those kids, the side kicks to the justice league came out of nowhere, they wouldn't let me go home and when I didn't see a reason to go with them back to arkem then I told them no, that I wouldn't do it and they attacked me"

Kate nods
"Then you fought correct?"

"Yes"

Kate nods
"Alright, we might have something, now this looks like we can possibly get you a deal, you are the #1 expert on joker, even more then batman, you could trade some of that information for your freedom, the second part would be we can use these sidekicks as well in our case, they seemed to have had no real reason to attack you, they aren't law enforcement and don't have the authority to do this, usually everyone looks the other way because of who they are but in this situation they are in the wrong, they also seem to lack any evidence against you which is good for us"

Kate picks up her phone
"I'll have to make a few calls and start gathering evidence before we make an official statement to the press, it's already gotten out that you got a lawyer, although nobody knows the full story, this will give you a chance to win over peoples hearts with that story, thousands will be watching and the hearing and trial will most likely be televised around the world, this will blow the Wonder Woman case out of the water in comparison "

Harley has to take all of this in
"Wow, this is....big....Umm I didn't know it would be so....global"

Kate laughs
"Are you kidding me, your one of the most famous woman on earth, and you taking the law against the biggest hero's when they are at fault, this will be a huge event, everyone will want to see it, you'll be in news papers, TV, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a documentary "

"Wow, now I don't much care for being on all that, I just want Y/n back and to be out of here so I can take care of him and live a semi normal life "

Kate smiles
"Well I'm sure that this is gonna shake things up......and I think we have a chance at winning this"

Harley nods
"Thank you.....for taking my case"

"Your welcome, now I have to go home but I'll be back tomorrow for a press meeting, we'll meet before hand to figure out or approach"

She smiles at Harley
"We'll also have to figured it how to dress you, but that can wait till tomorrow, get your rest, you'll need it"

With that she packed up her things and walked away leaving Harley alone with her thoughts as she laid down
"Tomorrow's another day"
