DC One Shot And Imagines I

Harley Quinn- Joker (c)

Growing up, you never imagined that you would be the villain in life, but love forced you to do the wildest things. You had fallen in love with a man that went by the name The Joker, which should have been your first warning sign but you overlooked the weird name and appearance because your heart told you so. You agreed to do terrible things and be an evil sidekick as it was for the man you loved, and you believed that he would do anything for you. Everyone knew about the two of you in Gotham and it seemed that you would stay side by side forever but when you were caught by the police, he easily dismissed you and moved onto another sad girl that felt like she needed a man.

At the time it felt as though your life was over, losing the man you loved and your freedom, you didn't know how to cope but soon your life turned around and things ended up better for you. The Joker now had a new girlfriend Harley, and you had managed to go back to school and become a registered nurse, granted with a bit of working around. You loved being able to make up for the damage you did and trying to offer some good back into the world.

You now had a job and a house and everything seemed to be perfect, but you should have known that nothing could be that simple as when your door knocked, you never expected to see Harley, The Joker's new girlfriend on your doorstep.

Her intense eye makeup was smeared and running with her tears and she looked a bit of a mess compared to what you had seen her looking like normally.

"You're Y/N/N," she stated using the old nickname that the Joker had once used for you, sniffling to try and fight her tears.

"What's it to you?"

"I need your help," she whispered. "I know you don't want me here, but I don't know who else to turn to."

She was in quite a state and you couldn't help but feel bad. Going against your better judgement, you let her into your house, leading her to the living room to sit down with her.

"Pudding left me," she croaked. "I don't know what to do without him."

"The Joker?" You asked.

Harley nodded her head. "How did you handle it when he left you?"

You let out a chuckle, thinking back to the atrocious breakup that you had experienced years before.

"Well I was in a prison at the time, where he left me. I made a bit of a fool of myself assuring everyone in there that my man was going to come and get me. He sent one of his goons to tell me about you, not long after. I took my anger out on other inmate and guards and then cried a lot. I was put on a lot of medications to help my breakdown, but I talked with a therapist and friends I made on the inside and realised the truth of the Joker."

She cocked an eyebrow at you. "What's the truth?"

You shrugged your shoulders. You couldn't understand the man fully, no one could. He was a complex mess of a human, but you didn't need to waste your time on him anymore.

"He will never be capable of love. I know it feels like you are his world and he really is yours, but he doesn't care about you, only what you can offer him," you stated. "And it's important to realise you have a future without him and believe me it will be better than any life you had with him."

She looked completely confused with your words. "But it feels like everything is over. What am I meant to be without him?"

"Harley freaking Quinn," you said with conviction. "You are a strong woman, if you've put up with his crap this long, then you must be. It may feel like the end but this is your beginning."

Harley took a moment thinking it over before nodding and offering you a gentle smile.

"And it is going to be an amazing beginning."
