AU Harley Quinn has been homeless for a very long time.

Mun.

Mun, Mun, Munny-Mun-Mun Mun.

Branching out with me now? Taking the big jump from occasional threads on memes with your friends into the big wide world of... all this.

It's okay.

It's okay to be scared.

Nowhere's safe. Not even inside your own head.

That's the least safe place of all.

So.

What now?


((OOC: so yeah this is an AU Harley Quinn, 98% inspired by the Nolan movies. Same basic story: smart young psychiatrist working at Arkham gets assigned to the Joker and things go downhill from there. She's not as bubbly, though.))

[She tilts her head.]

Very much alive.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Then no, we're not the same.

[arlecchinorotto]

[She stares, a long, piercing stare before she replies flatly.]

Lucky you.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Would you prefer if your universe was like my own in that aspect?

[arlecchinorotto]

[She thinks about this for a moment. Then she shrugs.]

I don't know.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Well at least you're not as attached as I was. It took him attempting to kill me and some rather harsh words to get me to try to survive.

[arlecchinorotto]

[She smiles, but it's not a very nice smiles.]

I think you misunderstand.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Then what do you mean?

[She's not afraid. She already knew what she was capable of doing. Especially when she was the closest equivalent to this alternate's state.

[arlecchinorotto]

I know what he'll do to me.

[byebye_mistah_j]

You mean if you try to leave him?

[arlecchinorotto]

That. Or if he feels like it.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Which is what happened to me. He decided he no longer needed me. He bashed me rather well while telling me how much of a fool I was.

Odd how it only took one bullet to end him.

[arlecchinorotto]

Interesting.

[She grins again.]

And how did that feel.

[byebye_mistah_j]

Good, at first but then I snapped again. It took at least two years and they even had to lighten the security on Ivy because she was the only one I wouldn't hit. Including myself.

[arlecchinorotto]

And now you're all better?

[byebye_mistah_j]

Not completely but I'm not working for a homicidal clown anymore.

[arlecchinorotto]

How nice.
