Lovely {Suicide squad}

Chapter 1

"Sweet dreams are made of me, who would dare to disagree" Lin belts out the song, dancing around in her small cell in Belle reve. The cage was just that, a cage, silver bars surrounded her. Caging her in, no furniture was decorating her small space, nothing but and old pile of clothes she had placed on the floor her first week there and the cold cemented floor.

"That's not how it goes, silly" Harley Quinn, resident of the cage next to her, giggles at her girlfriend who was prancing around the small area, strutting around as if it was her stage back home. She imagined a big dance floor, just like the ones their clubs had, full of people who were all watching the enchanting being that was Lin.

"Of course it does, the singer just sing it wrong" Lin deadpan while doing a twist and then a turn with her arms thrown up in the air.

Lin was often described as the sane one of the trio, she wasn't as giggly as Harley and not as insane as Joker but she certainly wasn't sane. She had her moments and in those moments she could be worse than her two partners.

"Whatever you say Sugah" Harley sing-song with a bright grin, displaying her pearly white teeth.

"I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something" Lin continues singing while climbing up the bars which she was not actually supposed to touch. Safety reasons and all of that, she's been beat down enough times to remember to stay off them but she she's never been one to play by the rules.

"Some of them want to use you, but I want to use Harley" The younger girl climbing the bars sings, smirking at her girlfriend.

"Aww, Linnie, that's so sweet" Harley sighs, sad that she couldn't touch her girlfriend, it's bad enough that their king isn't there but being so close yet so far away was torture. They've been kept away from each other all the time, there's been no epic hand-holding while having an amazing showdown with the guards.

" Do you remember the first time we met, Harls?" Lin ask, hanging upside down.

"Mhm, sure do Sugah"

Harleen Quinzel was a very promising psychiatrist, she had graduated with 3rd best grades in her class. In theory she had it all down but applying that in real life proved to be a challenge. She had problems with looking at the patients objectively, she couldn't help but see them as people who just had a bad day, she couldn't help but ignore the fine details about them, the reasons why they were there in the first place. Harleen couldn't apply the theories that she had learnt in school, she was too pure and innocent for that, instead she wanted to bond with them.

The woman had just recovered from her session with Joker, it had been a long first meeting filled with awkwards smiles on her behalf and long outstretched chuckles from the clown himself. She could hear his laughter but she couldn't see it on him, even though he was laughing, which in itself is an expression of joy, he looked cold and empty. The Joker looked lost, like he had lost the most precious part of himself and couldn't cope without it but even so he put up a good front. Not that Harleen knew that he was playing with her, he certainly wasn't what she expected. He was kind, charming and funny and now she was going to have a session with his girlfriend. Actually she wouldn't use the word girlfriend, it didn't do their relationship justice, they were more than just girlfriend and boyfriend. She hadn't seen them interact together yet but based on the few stories there were about them circling around the asylum she had made a pretty good picture for herself.

The door to her left was thrown open and she heard the heavy footsteps and laboured breathing of the guards before she could see them. Turning her head to the side Harleen watched as the guards escorted or rather dragged a petite woman behind them who was surprisingly chained by her hands and feet and she was led like an animal. She acted like one too, she was trashing, and growling, and even trying to bite the guards holding her.

"Why is she in so many chains?" Harleen asked one of the guards with no small bit of anger in her voice, her face was scrunched up and she was glaring holes in the guards' heads.

"She's very dangerous, last time she wasn't chained heavily she bit the ear off of my friend. Gave him an infection she did" The guard answered in a hostile tone all the while glaring at the inmate who only smiled innocently back with a hint of pride in her dark eyes.

"He was mean to me" The woman defended herself in a melodic voice that wasn't too high in pitch and neither was it too low.

"Release her, she'll behave, right Lin?" Harleen demanded, no patients of hers would be treated like an animal under her watch, even the Joker was treated better by the guards though that could be because he had more of a reputation than the female did. Come to think of it, Harleen hadn't actually known that the male clown had a girlfriend until they were both brought to the asylum, leading her to think that she either hadn't been his girlfriend very long (which she seriously doubted, given the nature of their relationship) or Joker had protected and kept her hidden.

The guard gave the doctor a curt nod before reluctantly unchaining Lin who was staring at the doctor with a glint in her eye. Waving a dismissive hand Harleen made the guards leave, who muttered bad language words and swore that she would end up dead soon enough, the room and she was alone with Lin. The female criminal was still standing in the same spot as before, she was watching and analyzing Harleen. Probably searching for weaknesses and ways to get out of the room without alerting the guards standing guard outside the small room.

"You're really pretty" Lin told her psychiatrist with a small smile, she and J had talked about her in passing when the two had been escorted to different locations. The two had quickly decided that Harleen would be their way out, they would use her to get out of the hell hole they were stuck in.

"Thank you, now I have a few standard questions for you" Harleen answered with gradually blushing cheeks.

"Of course, ask away. " Lin smiled sweetly at the doctor having seen her blushing cheeks and was mentally praising herself for the small success. If she could make the woman blush then she could get her to laugh etc, all leading up to her breaking them out of there.

Clearing her throat and trying to summon any professional skills she should have learnt in school Harleen asked her patient the very basic question of " So, how are you feeling right now?"

"Better now that you're here, the guards are mean to me" Lin pout, making sure to stick her bottom lip out noticeably to get the best effect possible.

"I'll talk to them" Harleen promised, and boom, Lin had succeeded in using the pity card. This would be easier than she expected.

"You're so sweet, Harley"

"It's uh, it's Harleen" Harleen corrected Lin halfheartedly.

"Harleen is boooooring, Harley is much better, ask Jay, he'll say the same thing" Lin wave d away the correction. Nicknames was a good idea, she thought to herself. Establish a relationship, nicknames are personal.

"You used to be so serious" Lin giggles thinking about the memory with a fond look in her eyes. "Until mistah J and I showed you how fun the world can be" The woman continues and then the fond look in her eyes fall and is replaced by a longing one.

" I love you Lin" Harley tells Lin with love and adoration clear in her eyes and voice.

"Love ya too Harls" Linnie replies and blew a kiss, still hanging upside down. She may have responded but her mind and heart where elsewhere
