Surprise
"What do you want dollface?!" Joker responded, then I heard him scream "NOT NOW HARLEY!" And then "Ianthe, you don't have to brag on everything, how'd you put up with Harley for so many years?" Then he'd laugh.
I can just imagine the tears slowly falling out of Harley's eyes. Mom always said Harley was crazy but she was so strong. She tried to be perfect for everyone...everyone except herself. I wish she'd leave Joker, but she has her heart set on him. I think he loves her deep down, I just don't think it's enough. But I need him right now.
"Joker....I...um.." I don't know how to tell him, or even if I want to. Not after how he's treated Harley.
"Spit it out!!!!" He screamed.
"Leave her alone, Puddin'" I hear Harley say.
"I'm really mad at someone.." I try to explain.
"Then use revenge and make em' pay," before I could explain that I didn't want to hurt anyone, he hung up.
Maybe Joker was right. I know he's insane but maybe Jack deserves to feel pain like I do. Or maybe Elsa does. She's the one who took my place! I could easily choke her with my hair and listen to her suffer and gag. Or I could borrow some of Jokers' bombs or I could use my seraph blade from my shadowhunter days. With a seraph blade, I'd have her throat slit in a few seconds.
I had been pondering for an hour wasting my time, when I could be getting my revenge. Before I could grasp my seraph blade, the phone rang. Great.
"Sis,"
"Harley," I begin "but Joker won't let you use the phone...how?" Before I could continue Harley interrupted.
"I'm at Ivys'" she sounded hoarse. She has either been screaming or crying. Whenever Joker kicked her out she stayed with her best friend, Poison Ivy, and sometimes Catwoman stayed with them. But I think Ivy saw Harley as more than a friend, but it's none of my business.
"Did he kick you out again?" I asked, bracing myself, ready to hear her burst into tears.
"I left him," she responded. It was the most confident I've ever heard her. She must have noticed my surprise because she continued
"Lydia,please don't tell mom, I'm not ready for her to know."
"Ok," I say, I respect Harley and her secrets, I just hope she didn't do anything stupid.
"I'm pregnant," she paused.
"What?" I meant for it to sound shocked and surprised but it came out as a whisper. Wow. Harley has way bigger problems than I do. "Does...Joker .." I stopped, it's none of my business if Joker knew. But he should, he has the right since he's the father.
Well, he had to be the father. He's the only guy Harley has had sex with. He's the only one I know of anyway. I guess with Batman, you never know.
"The Joker would abuse the child and I want ma kid to have a better life, Ivy said I can stay with her and Kitty(catwoman) till I give birth,but....well," that's when she started to cry.
"Harley, you don't have to tell me," I don't want to push her. She already has strong emotions, I don't want to make it worse.
"I went to tell Joker that I was done, but I caught Ianthe kissing him, I should have known she liked him, I mean princesses of crime , it's what she wanted,"
"Harley, I'm so sorry," I don't know how to help her but I so desperately want to. Having the love of your life cheat on you with your own sister had to sting. And then finding out that you are pregnant with his child. Then the problem of how are we going to raise it comes up. Mom raised Barry's kids, but she doesn't like Harley as much as Barry. She'd probably call the kid a hybrid and send it to Arkham or something.
"Its ok, it's better without Mister J," she paused "and now there's going to be a mini me, I promise I'm going to raise that kid right and give em the most love in the world," I heard her tear up. She was so determined. Harley wasn't going to do abortion or adoption, she wanted to keep this child and would kill anyone who tried to take it away. I can tell by her voice. It was hers.
She finally left that abusive clown! She's already grown so much, I'm so proud of her.
"Enough about me," she began "don't listen to Joker, revenge isn't the answer. I don't know what good old Jack did, but he ain't worth it hon,
"If ya starting to feel sad again, maybe get a job to keep ya self busy! Hey!! Amanda Waller gave me a job for the suicide squad, I'm sure she'll give ya one,"
"Harley,"
"I'll send you her contact info,"
Oh well, at least she's trying to help. What can it hurt?
