Chapter 20
It's just too surreal. Everything! I kept knocking on the door, even when Harley told me to go away. There was no way she'd be getting rid of me that easily! When I realized she wouldn't be answering the door anytime soon, I looked around the halls, reached into my back pocket, and began working on her lock. Simple, and the door was pushed open shortly after. A few soft steps into the room, I heard a blonde mumbling under her breath. Oh Harley...
I stopped in front of her room door, arms crossed as my left shoulder pushed up against the door frame. "You know Ivy wouldn't approve of you drinking at a time like this, right?" The blonde seemed to have groaned at my comment, rolling onto her stomach and then getting on her knees.
"How would you know?!" She spat, the bottle that was placed beside her was tossed, hitting the wall beside me.
"I've spent enough time with her, to know how Ivy is?" Okay Selina, you're supposed to be helping, not making Harley angry! Harley's eyes flared at the comment, she got up and charged at me, knocking us down onto the carpeted floor of her living room. I guess she still hasn't gotten over the what happened when we rescued Pamela... Before she could even think to reply though I kicked her off and rolled back onto my feet.
"Why are you even here?! I said go away Selina!" Harley cried out. Okay, seriously I CANNOT deal with crying! The psychiatrist was getting on my nerves, so I stalked over and slapped her. The sound echoing within the silent room.
"Harley Quinn! Snap the fuck out of it! I do not need a slobbering cry baby right now!" Her blue eyes looked shiny in the dim light and I had to take a deep breath to harden my resolve. "If you truly love Pamela, then you will sober up, toughen up, and do everything in your power to find her. Even if it kills you, okay?" A soft nod was my only answer.
"Kitty..."
"What?" She outstretched her arms and I sighed heavily. I can't help it, Harley is just a cute bubbly idiot sometimes! I pulled her into a hug, shaking my head while doing so.
"You're right." She sniffed.
"Of course I am." I swear I could sense the eye roll coming from her as she pulled away and wiped any tears she felt.
"If the roles were switched, Pamela would rip the city apart with her plants to find me! I can't-" Deep breath "I can't let her down!" Good! I thought. At least she isn't crying anymore. I watched as she wandered around the room, grabbing clothes, throwing them on the bed and then she paused and screamed. "I HAVE TO CHECK MY BABIES!"
"Bud & Lou?"
"Yes! What if he did something to them?! Oh if the bastard did I'll-"
"I have a car. Hurry and we'll go together." She smiled and then quickly began to undress and redress.
I stood near her front door, tapping my foot as Harley was turning off her lights. She grabbed the keys from my hand and zoomed down the stairs, I had to quickly follow behind her or else she'd probably leave me behind!
She tried hopping in the front seat but I was faster, of course, and snatched my keys back. "Gee Harls, slow down. I'm driving cause you've been drinking, and I don't want to die today." The blonde pouted before getting into the passenger seat. I rolled my eyes at her childish behaviour, bringing the engine to life as we took off.
-----------------
"Wakey wakey." I groaned at the bright light that was beaming in my face, lifting my head up my green gaze was met with a pair equally green. That voice...
"Fucking... clown bastard." I huffed out. I could finally see after a few long blinks. And the sight before me was grotesque to say the least. But it's not like the Joker was appealing to look at before. His face was burnt slightly, along with his suit. Probably from that explosion he was supposed to die in... I looked up, seeing my hands were bound, and I was sitting in doctors examining chair. I didn't even bother trying to break the cuffs on my wrist, I knew it'd be a waste of time. I didn't really have much strength in me. The cackling shook me from my thoughts though, and I couldn't help the eye roll.
"Oh my feelings!" The Joker laughed. He clasped his hands together and smiled vehemently. Oh how I wish I could slap that smile off of his hideous face! He began talking again but I just laid my head back, ignoring his words. "HEY!" He yelled with the stomp of his foot, much like a child. I arched my brows with a smile. Knowing I was pushing some buttons of his, which made me contempt in a way.
"You were saying something?"
"I can't wait to kill you." He growled.
"Ditto." The clown bastard opened his mouth before his head snapped back towards the screen behind him. He stalked over, that sickening grin on his hideous face as he watched the pixels. I tilted my head slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of what he was watching. Harley and Selina came down a set of familiar stairs in the screen, the blonde looking excited as her hyenas leapt onto her. But then it hit me... This poor excuse for a human had a camera in my home! Did he just put it there or...?
"Harley Quinn! And ugh! You bought the flea bag with you..." Joker shook his head, his grin so wide it look like it split his face in two "Never mind that! You! My dear girl are in for a treat tonight!" The chair that I sat upon began moving, giving a better view of myself in the camera as I could clearly see Harley and Selina through the little screen. Blue eyes flared up instantly as she stalked over to the computer and gripped its sides, shaking the screen. Selina stopped her, pulling her away so that she could be seen as well.
"Joker, what do you want?!" Selina yelled as Harley was fuming.
"Ya' better not hurt mah Red!" The blonde screeched. The Joker bent forward, laughing loudly as he slapped his thigh with glee.
"Your 'Red? Hard to believe that when she's stuck here with me Harley girl!" I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his remark.
"Like I had a choice. Is this how you ever get a date now and days?"
"Quiet you!" He glared at me for a second before looking at the camera. "Now Catwoman, I thought I made it obvious!" He hopped over to my side and tapped his chin as he picked up a scalpel. My eyes followed his every movement, knowing that this was not going to end well. "I wonder what she likes so much about you Ivy." He growled, and now it was my turn to laugh in his face.
"Now I thought THAT was obvious Joker. I mean clearly you're not on my level of beauty and I far surpass you in intellect." I could almost hear him grinding his teeth together. Good! "And I bet I'm a better lover than you. Ever had her begging for your touch hm...?" I saw his face scrunch up slightly and I knew I hit a slight nerve. I couldn't help but smirk at him now. "Thought not."
"Alright that's enough outta you!" He bought the scalpel closer to my face, slicing down my left cheek in a curved line. I couldn't help but arch my brows as I had quickly healed, not even a scar was left behind, and then unexpectedly he jabbed the sharp object into my shoulder! Twisting it and releasing it as he left it lodged there. My eyes watered at the pain that came over me, I couldn't even scream out in pain right away! It was delayed and boy was it a loud yell.
___________
Harley almost tackled the monitor down the moment she heard Ivy's scream of pain! I held her back, the rage emitting from her body was overwhelming. She was shaking and felt hotter than ever. "Stop it!" Harley yelled as the Joker released the scalpel. I couldn't help but wince as I seen it still piercing her skin.
"Now isn't that a lovely sound Harley girl?" The green haired bastard grinned back at the camera, blood was staining his white gloves and it just added to Harley's already boiling temper.
"You sick twisted bastard! Wait until we find you." He shook his head, pushing the sharp object into her shoulder slowly, getting another scream from Ivy to satisfy him.
"Is that... the best-" Pammy inhaled, a smile forming on her gorgeous face. I could still see the hint of pain but she wasn't going to give him what he wanted even if it killed her. "you got? If you think... I'll beg for 'mercy', you have another thing coming." Harley looked proud for a split second, and then she yelled, grabbing onto her revolver.
"Red! Hang in there! I'll save you even if it's the last thing I do!" The Joker seemed to have not liked what happened and slapped Ivy hard across the face. Then he pulled out the scalpel and pointed it to the screen
"Have fun looking! You'll need all the luck in the world." He growled, full on punching Ivy now!
"Hey, clown bastard! You better have a army protecting you, because if we get to you-" I leaned forward, showing my claws with a smile "you're dead."
