Poison Ivy is seen in her small, run-down hotel room, distilling a fine powder from the roots of an exotic-looking plant. She scoops the dust into a small vial.
"Yes! Gotham will be in the palm of my hand when I-" She is cut off by a knock on the door. Ivy opens the door with hesitation, after all, this is Gotham. None to her suprise, she find Harley, sobing and wounded. " Come in." Ivy sighs." Honestly, when are you going to leave that son of a- "RED!" Harley shouts over her." How can ya even think that! We love eachother! He just... had a bad day!"
" Sure he loves you." Ivy repies with a sarcastic tone,"I'll get the iodine" Ivy leaves to get a bottle of iodine an aspren for her self. Harley's visits inflected a need for it.
Harley flops on the bed, only to spot the vial. She holds it in her gloved, wounded hand. Ivy returns at that moment.
"Red, what's this?" Harley asks.
"It's a fine powder which realeses a component that alters the mind when it mixes with oxygen-"
"IN ENGLISH!"
"It's a love potion. Don't get any ideas! I need it when I-" She's cut off by the phone."What the-?" She picks up the phone, and haves a long conversation over the rent, a rather heated conversation. Harley eyes the vial, just sitting in the palm of her hand. She smiles wickedly and sneaks out the door, with the vial in hand. By the time Ivy hangs up, Harley's long gone! Ivy notices instantly that Harley took the vial, and screams Harley's name in anger.
Harley sneaks into Joker's hideout through the back. She slips into her room and slips on a snug, little nightie. She lights a few candles and lays on the bed, waiting for her beloved. Joker walks in about an hour later.
"HARLEY!" He shouts in shock."I thought I-!" Harley blows a cloud of the powder his way. He stares blankly at her for a minute, then with out hesitation, he grabs her and kisses her.
"You are the most woderful woman I've ever met!" Harley sighs and kisses her lover once again. At that moment, Riddler, Mad Hatter and Two-Face walk in on them.
"We came here to play our usual card game, but I see your busy." Sneered Riddler.
"Yea, we are. Don't let the door hitcha on the way out! Harley said. Not about to let anything spoil her time with her Puddin' , she pushes them out the door. Riddler's elbow knocks the table, which the vial was placed on, and spills. The powder effects only the three men! Riddler walks over to Harley in a devinar way.
"Harley, how about you and me getting together some time..." he is pushed out of the way by Two-Face.
"Forget him babe. You and me, all the way! Whaddya say?" He is pushed out of the way by Mad Hatter.
"Will you marry me!?" Joker hits him with great force.
"Back Off You Pigs!" He bellows.
" She's MINE!" Two-face shouts.
The fight rages on and Harley sneaks off in the night.
"This is nuts, even for ME! I gotta steal something" She says under her breathe.
Five hours later, Harley's robbing the Gotham Meuseum of Arts.
"Nope. Nope. Ooooo! Shiney! Nope.>gasp< " Batman, out of no where grabs her. Thus, causing her to drop her bag, which contained the vial! Thus, effecting HER!
"Batman!" She grabs him and kisses him! He pulls away.
"What the -?" Batman gasps in great shock.
"Yer the one for me! So swave, stong, brave, smart, and hansome!" She leans in for another kiss, but Batman cuffs her.
"Flattery will get you no where."
" Oh, I know this game," Harley says, eyeing her hand cuffs."But, there's no bed here."
" Dear God... What ever happened to the Joker!?" Batman says in greater shock.
" Forget Mr. Happy! C'mere."
She grabs him and kisses him. Joker, and the other men walk in on them at that very minute!
"HARLEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM!!!!!!!" Police sirens drown out his infernal yelling and twenty officers grab all of them. Batman glides down the nearest window, with the vial.
Ivy is asleep when Batman shows up!
"BATMAN!" She gasps with fear over the rather dramatic entrance." Can't you ever knock!? I'm so sick of paying for window repairs!"
" It's urgent. Harley's got some kind of love potion! I assume you suplied her."
" I didn't give it to her. She stole it from me!" She yelled in an annoyed tone. " Let me guess: She got Joker?" she continued.
" Yes, and it worked. But he's not the only one. Riddler, Mad Hatter, and Two-Face are also fallen for her. Not to mention her new found affecton fo me..."
"You!" Ivy shouted. She began to laugh, leaving Batman confused.
"What so funny?" asked Batman.
" The powder is ment to rise affection to the surface! Not creating love intrest!
" Oh, GOD!" Batman Gasps in shock.
" Now, you came here for the antidote, right? Well, here it is. " She hands him a small bottle. " Just remember, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Harley." Ivy said."Oh, and remeber, the potion will only make her love sick, not vulnerable. So, she won't take it directly."
" She was vulnerable to begin with, but I'll go by your word." He leaves, without a sound.
"Great. Now can I have my ...vial...back?" She finds she is alone."Jerk."
Two days later, at the Arkehm Asylum rec-room, Harley, is being fallowed by a despriate Joker. " Forget the Bat, Honey! You've got me!" He says in a loving way.
"Forget it Mistah J. It's over." Harley replies without even looking at him.
"C'mon Baby! We used to have so much fun together, and we still can. hmmm? Whaddya say? Please? He was begging her at this point, and she only turned her head.
"My heart belongs to another." She says coldly.
"Yea, to ME! Right Harl?" Says Two-Face from behind the couch. As the two men fight over her , she stares out the window, watching the rain pour outside. She decides that she must reunite with Batman again.
Seven hours and twenty six minutes later, Batman gets a call from Jim Gordon. "Batman!" says Jim. " Harley broke out of Arkehm!"
"Great." Replies Batman.
"'Great'?" Says Gordon with great confusion."What do you mean 'great'?"
"Ivy's love potion is influencing her, Joker,and a few others. I happen to have the antidote."
"Wasn't she already love sick?"
"Not with me... Tell your men to let her go. As soon as I give her the antidote, I'll put her back in her place."
Harley's trying to turn the Bat sinal on.
"C'mon! He shoulda been here by now!" She mutters in frusteration. She begins to kick the Bat signal when Batman arrives.
"Good evening."
"How'd ya know I'd be here, lover?
"Lucky guess. I brought champaine."
"The drink of love!?"
"Yes." He opens the bottle which he sliped the antidote in earlier."Why don't you take the first sip?"
"What ever you say, Puddin'!
She takes a sip as Batman had instructed and within seconds, she looses the loving look in her eyes.
"EWWW!" She spits the drink on the ground."GROSS! WHADDYA TRIN" TA DO? POISON ME!?" Batman smiles then laughs in that creepy way Harley hated.
"What's so danm funny!?"
"Ya know, that drug surfaces affections, not creating them!
Harley stares at him, blushing from embarasment.
"Care to talk?" Batman jeers.
"Y-you have ... nice abs! There! You Happy?! Oh, God don't tell Mistah J!
" Nice abs? Is that any reason to call me 'Puddin'?"
"Ha, ha. You can shut-up now. Please I beg of you! Don't tell Puddin'! He'll never speak to me again! "
She fell on the floor begging for mercy that he wouldn't tell Joker.
"Alright. If you go back to Arkehm and give it to all who were effected."
" What!? NO FAIR! I didn't even get an hour with my baby!
Batman made no change in his serious, hardend face.
" Okay, okay. Deal. Oh danmmit! They take all possesions in the dangerous evidence vault! I"ll never be able to sneak the bottle in!
" I'll pull some strings."
They shake and leave for Arkehm.
The next day in the cafeteria, Joker, Riddler, Two-Face and Mad Hatter are fighting over who she gets to sit next to.
"BOYS! Boys! There's plenty of Harley Quinn for everybody! Champaine?
She pours the contaminated drink into four whine glasses.In a matter of seconds, all four men are spitting the drink across the table.
"YUCK! WHAT WAS THAT?! CYANIDED?!" shouted Joker.
"Oh man. That's just SICK!?" Riddler added.
"You do realize, that Ivy's stuff surfaces love, right?
All four men stared at thier feet, not daring to make eye contact with her.
"Well...?" She continued.
Two-Face spoke up first." You always had one hell of a body..."
Riddler was next . " ...Beautiful smile... and those legs..." Joker, of coarse, was not liking where this conversation was going.
"ARE THOSE REAL!?" shouted Mad Hatter. Joker just couldn't take it any more.
"HEY!!!" Joker yelled at mad Hatter, but he took no notice.
"Seriously, ARE they!?"
Harley ignored thier rude coments and turned to the Joker.
"Puddin'..."
All eyes were on him. He decided to change the subject.
"Well I... wait a minute! WHAT ABOUT YOU AND BATMAN?!?!"
Harley could have died. She wish Joker did kill her. those few seconds with all of them waiting for her to respond, seemed like hours to her.
" Well,c'mon Hun. Ya gotta admit, He is buff..."
"Buff? BUFF?! YOU THINK THAT POINTY- EARED CREEP IS ATRACTIVE!?" Harley could've sworn she saw his face turn red.
"Yea, so is Brad Pitt. doesn't mean I wanna be Brad Pitt's partner in crime." She tried to kiss him , but he pushes her away. the he decides to hug her instead.Harley could've been imagining it, but she swore she heard Joker whisper "I love you" in her ear.
