[Raven and Julia] Amuse Your Queen, Joker

[julia]

Harley looked behind her, seeing Max chase after them. She put her hand behind her back and held up two fingers, signaling where they were. They then turned, the green paint no longer sticking from the bottom of the Joker's shoe to the concrete sidewalk. They headed down an alley, where Harley lifted the baby from the stroller and kissed the child's nose. The little boy giggled and placed his hands on her face.

"Harley, stop playing with that!" Joker snapped, his normal self once again. "You don't know where it's been!"

"Awe puddin' look! He's got your eyes!" she giggled. Then tickled the boy's belly, making him laugh and curl up in a ball. The Joker pointed to Harley, his face dark.

"Stop it!" he yelled, causing the two to quiet down.

"The Joker silencing the sound of laughter? Parish the thought..."

The queen returned to her partners in crime, ducking past the colored smoke, and letting the city cops get lost in the maze of streets. She relaxed again, putting her hand back to her suit, and withdrawing her stolen artifact.

"I'm guessing I don't get to keep this..." she mused, looking over the diamond with an apprising eye. "Such a shame, it would be perfect for my collection."

[julia]

(Ah... it's good to have you back Raven )

"I only silence it because we are trying to stay incognito! I want to be able to eat and get back to the hideout without having to run from the fuzz!" Joker whispered, exasperated. "Now, get these clothes on, and we will go eat somewhere," he explained, picking a pair of black slacks and a gray blouse from the stroller then he tossed it towards Max.

"And you can keep either this jewel or the next," Joker told her, smiling a bit. He then started to head down the alley towards the sidewalk. Harley put the child back in the stroller and looked at Max. The kid waved at Max, closing his fingers and reopening them.

[Ravenwoodwitch]

Because Kids laughing is so out of the ordinary... the criminal-female thought with a shrug, but let the matter go all the same. She shrugged her shoulders, and turned her back around. She let her hair fall back down, and pocketed the diamond with greedy eyes. She slid the blouse over her top just as Joker walked past her.

He gave her a look, one that made her raise her brow. What was that about? Where the heck were those eyes wondering about.

....he was still wearing her hair ribbon...

Put it away, Maxy. She scolded, slipping the slacks on. Last thing you need to do is piss off Harley. She's been so kind to me now, and those boys....

Once finished, she followed after them, trying to look stand-offish.

(I'm rebooting the Arkham RP, if you feel you've got the time and the interest for it)

The kid looked at Max over Harley's shoulder and waved again, smiling widely. He didn't have any teeth, and was a fairly healthy looking baby. Joker glanced over his shoulder at Max and gave a wink. He then cleared his throat and began to speak in a normal, average Joe way.

"Alright, how's about we go and get a bite to eat?" he asked, sounding native to the area.

(I know it's kinda short, but I dunno what else to do)

[Ravenwoodwitch]

(I'm not sure myself. How about we skip ahead to a few weeks later?)

[julia]

(Sounds good to me)

"God dammit, Harley!" Joker screamed, standing over the clown girl. She was shaking, a chemical burn on her cheek, and her civilian clothes on. She wasn't looking at the Joker, but was instead shielding the infant from their first heist with her body. Harley's eyes were shut tight, and her jaw was set, ready for any abuse that the Joker was about to dish out.

"You spilled got potassium chloride on yourself, and I needed it! You're so damn lucky that I have to go back to Gotham to get more, or you, the kid, and Max would all be beaten so bad right now!!" he screamed, kicking Harley's side then grabbing her hair and making her look him in the eye. Joker sneered, and snorted out of his nose.

"And when I get back, this place had better be neat, and there will be a cigar, a martini, and dinner waiting for me! Do you understand?!" he spat in a hushed, but harsh tone.

"Y-yes sir..." Harley whimpered, holding the child to her breast. He nodded, then pushed Harley onto her back, the child crying loudly in fear. The Joker then looked to Max's room, trying to calm himself.

"Max!" he bellowed, combing his hair into a clean and sleek fashion, it been thrashed around a bit during his ranting at Harley. "You are to stay here with Harley and make sure this pigsty is presentable when I come back! I'm going to Gotham for Potassium Chloride, and I'll be back in a few days! DO NOT disappoint me!" he roared, then stormed from the room, slamming the entrance hard behind him. As he left, Harley sat up and checked the baby for signs of the Joker's cruelty.

Harley then kissed the baby's head, and coddled him close, trying to calm the frightened and rattled boy. She lightly hummed to him, and soon the infant was dozing off to sleep, clinging to Harley's breast for dear life.

Or what you psychotic loony? Max thought in her head, nose pressed in a book. She peaked out from under the pages once he had vanished, shooting what she hoped would be her version of a death glare. Maybe it was laced with denied sexual tension, but that was hardly her fault.

The brunette sighed, dropped the book, and stood back up. Seeing Harley and the boy in such straights. She had built up a tolerance to the psychotic clown's ranting, and so had Harley, but both of them choose to shrink. Maybe it was out of love, or maybe fear.

"You'd make a decent mom, Harley..." she said softly, helping her stand back up. "Tell you what, you go check on our...luggage..." she pointed to their rooms. "And I'll clean up the chemical mess."

[julia]

"Thanks Max... I've wanted a baby for a while, but Mistah J didn't, so we just never had one, or even tried," Harley explained, patting the child's rear gently. She looked at the baby, then took a deep breath, kissing the boy's head. "Before you start cleaning, would you mind taking him to my room and laying him on my side? Put a pillow between him and the edge, if it's not too much to ask," Harley whispered softly, rocking the baby gently.

"I'll go look in the cellar, and be back up to help you out... it's my mess after all," she told Max, then gently passed the sleeping child to her. "Oh, and then I wanna ask you for some opinions on names for him..." she explained quietly before heading to Max's room to check on Alex and Stiggy.

[Ravenwoodwitch]

(sorry sorry, got distracted again.)

That didn't surprise Max all that much. The super villain didn't seem like the family type, despite Harley's insistence, and a kid was too risky to most of their capers. They had trouble keeping him quite the past week as the Queen of Hearts ripped off store after museum after art museum. In fact, Miss Maxine was still surprised that the kid was alive...

"It was an accident, Harley." Max insisted, taking the kid gently in her arms. "Don't let him tell you otherwise."

Harley's wilting personality under her boss was starting to get to the metal singer. She practically wanted to grab her and shake some sense into her, but she suspected Harley was used to this speech.

So, instead, she went to her room and put the baby on Harley's side of the bed, placing the pillow on the edge.
