A happy Ha-hacienda[Mistah J]

[Harleen Quinzel]

Harleen was ecstatic. she was moving back in with the Joker. And nothing, nothing in the world made her happier than the thought of living with her beloved Mistah J again. Carrying a suitcase and a few bags, she hiked up the stairs of the Apartment building. "So many stairs!" Sighing, she was relieved when she got to the Apt.

A smile on her face, she let go of her suit case. Her hand began to gently knock on the door. No answer. She tried the knob. Surprisingly so, it was unlocked. Her smile widened. 'He actually remembered that i was coming!' she thought. sometimes, She didn't know if Joker remembered or heard anything that she said but times like these proved otherwise. Harley grabbed a hold of her suitcase and walked into the Apt.

Sighing, she placed her things along a wall and looked around. It seemed to be pretty quiet.

"Puddin'! I'm Here!" She called.

[purple]"Harley Harley... My number ONE!"[/purple]

The Joker said in a gritty voice as he stood behind Harley and removed her coat. He expected her to come. He even prepared dinner. Or... Not so much him as a chef he kidnapped. He was in the kitchen of the apartment sobbing. Jack went down to her neck and kissed it. Picking up her suitcase, he threw it at the chef who didn't really see it coming. The crying chef fell to the ground with the suitcase locked in his arms.

[purple]"The next room. Oh and Johnie..."[/purple]

The young beaten kidnapped man looked back at Jack in horror.

[purple]"Stop crying. Or I'll give you a reason to cry."[/purple]

Walking over to a table, he pulled out a chair for Ms. Quinn. He felt almost gentleman like today. It was certainly a first. In full Joker mode, he could care less about his lady. But things were different for now.

[Harleen Quinzel]

Harley blinked her eyes. She hadn't expected him to be so... gentlemen like. She liked it. Cocking her head slightly, she thought that she heard someone crying. It didn't surprise her. 'Same ol' J, Huh, harl,'[/i] she thought. She felt his lips softly touch her neck and kiss it. Cheeks flushed, Harley gave the Joker a gracious smile.

Smile, she turned towards the doorway quick to make sure her pets had followed. Sure enough, Bud and Lou were right behind her. The two hyena's let out a cackle and started to sniff around the apartment. "I hope you don't mind them much."

Looking at him, she ignored the crying at took a seat at the table. "My, this is awfully nice of ya, Mistah J. Is this really that special of an occasion?" She couldn't help but feel a tad special. It was too good. Too way to good to be true.

[Darcy Leone]

Jack sat down and clapped his hands. His face went from a content one to angry.

[purple]"JOHNIE!!!!!"[/purple]

The kid ran out of their room and with a device still strapped to his back brought the main course over to the table. It was a pot roast with steamed veggies. The aroma filled the room as the terrified man set up the couple's plates.

[purple]"Special occasion? This is for the two anniversaries I missed my dear."[/purple]

He grinned at what she said about the Hyenas. Then clapped his hands together.

[purple]"Ooh! Pets!! I always wanted a dog or two hehehe."[/purple]

He took a bite of his plate of roast. the terrified man sat in the room until further orders. He winked and pointed back at the other room with his thumb.

[purple]"Ya see Harley... Johnie caught himself in a predicament. Rather then having balls and standing up to me, he cowered in fear. And in doing so I strapped a series of handgrenades to his back that will detonate if I either push this button, if he touches a phone or if he tries to leave. Quite a pred-dicament, wouldn't you agree?"[/purple]

He motioned his hand to her.

[purple]"So for the time being... He's my bitch hehehehehe."[/purple]

He continued, licking his lips in eagerness.

[purple]"We have much to discuss. Like the teachers at our wonderful little school."[/purple]

[Harleen Quinzel]

Harley giggled, quite surprised that she herself had forgotten about such a thing. Two anniversaries? How could she have forgotten. It didn't matter much. She knew now and that was all she needed to know. Her smile only grew more when she heard her babies had a nice place to live. The two Hyena's started to snarl at the captive.

"Behave, you two. That's Bud and that's Lou, by the way," she cooed, pointing to each as she said their name. She simply adoring how the two went after the other man. Looking back at Joker, she listened. "That does seem like quite the predicament, mistah J. Can i play with him later? Please oh please?" she begged. She hadn't tortured someone in way to long. She took a few bites of her roast. It was surprisingly tasty.

Then they were on the topic of the school. Taking another bite, she nodded. Harley swallowed before she spoke. "I guess you've got a point there. Where shall we begin?"

[Darcy Leone]

Jack shrugged with his usual evil grin.

[purple]"Don't wanna spoil your appetite. We'll save him for dessert."[/purple]

He continued.

[purple]"You find it interesting how Arkham inmates are teaching the special youth of today? Hell there's even a few heroes and one man that looks strikeingly familiar... Bruce Wayne... I can't quite put my finger on it... His walk is the most familiar..."[/purple]

He averted his attention back to the subject.

[purple]"This screams disaster and the politicians and whore mongers of Gotham really don't know what they're in for... It's a sad reality my dear."[/purple]

He laughed.

[purple]"Sadly wonderful. We're free... And all I had to do was tell them I changed. That I wanted a chance at a normal life... How boring..."[/purple]

[Harleen Quinzel]

She clapped her hands together happily. This was turning out to be a wonderful evening. Taking a deep breath, she controlled her giddiness. Blinking, she listened intently. "Well, of course you've seen Wayne, you crashed his fundraiser, for starters," She pointed out, though something told her that he had meant something different.

She always did love the fact that moods and topics changed quite quickly with the Joker. "I guess they never did learn ta never trust a criminal. Thinking that you would want to lead a normal life? That is just plan gullibility. But yet, i guess that would be just the word to describe those people. Ha! If only they were smart enough. Did they even know that it was you, Puddin'?" she was becoming more and more talkative as the conversation led on.

A whimper came from right behind her and she turned her head to see her two pets look beggingly at their owner. She sighed and cut off a tad bit of her pot roast, throwing it to her babies. It brought a smile to her face to see them fight for the tiny piece of meat. She had to remember to give them a steak when she was finished with dinner.

[Darcy Leone]

[purple]"I'd rather not reveal our identities my dear."[/purple]

He smiled and moved his hand to hers on the table.

[purple]"It's only a matter of time before we shake this place up,but I enjoy the idea of a secret identity for now... We need recruits. Chaos can only be inflicted in so many ways by a person ya know. But ya know the butt of this joke? These kids have the right to choose. If we go gung-ho like I wouldv'e wanted to now..."[/purple]

He shrugged.

[purple]"Tight wearing freaks like Superman win in expanding their league. Let's play by the rules right now... To an extent."[/purple]

He looked over at Johnie, crouched down in a corner with the two hyenas snarling at him. He winked at his lady.

[purple]"Rules are about as fun as a heart attack... But schemers always find a way to strengthen the system. The code. Let's wait for the right moment. I'm actually pretty popular for a teacher believe it or not. Here's a question to get you thinking. Do kiddies like study or playtime?"[/purple]

He winked.

[purple]"Give the mob what they want and they work for you."[/purple]

[Harleen Quinzel]

She giggled. Of course they didn't. "And they didn't recognize your scars? My, this city is taken a turn fer tha worst!" She exclaimed. He had one of the most distinguishing scars of all time, and they didn't even know it was him!

Harley listened. He always made good points. And being the one that heard them was always a plus. The kids will decide? Her eyes light with curiosity. "How so?" she asked. He soon answered her question.

"Do kiddies like study or playtime?"

She laughed, really laughed. It was a great plan, or the starts of one at least. "You're so smart. That is a wonderful idea!"

[Darcy Leone]

He noddded at her first remark on the city taking a crap on itself. That much was true. To answer her second question, Jack merely said this:

[purple]"Every kid needs a rolemodel. If by example some of them were easily influenced by a bad one... Well the results could be sp-spectacular on our part."[/purple]

His hand fit perfectly in hers as he moved it up to his mouth and kissed it.

[purple]"This is a good idea... But lest we forget it's just an idea. Nothing goes according to plannn. That's what idiots like Dent figure out everyday. Let's just...[/purple]

He winked at the pause.

[purple]"Go along with it..."[/purple]
