Ch1: Finding the way
"NOO!!!" Harley screamed as blood sprayed across her face and The Joker collapsed in front of her. "Puddin?!" she asked frantically shaking him, she looked around desperately knowing the police where closing in on them. "Run Harley." He whispered in a tone that said he expected her to do just that, but the look in is eyes was sorrow then his eyes closed and he passed out. Harley didn’t know what to do, she looked around again and decided to do what he ordered. She could save him latter but if she tried now they'd both be caught then he'd be really mad at her. Harley turned and ran, she ran as fast as she could hears burned her eyes blurring her vision and only when her lungs began to burn did she slow. She didn’t know where she was but she knew it wasn’t far enough yet, when the burning subsided she began running again. She repeated this until the sky started to lighten in color, she was exhausted, her legs felt like Jell-O and her body felt like lead. She looked around she was in a quite neighbor hood with old Victorian town houses, it was just the type of house she would have loved to have if her beloved would let her. She turned right at the corner and started up the little hill at the top she took a left, her plan was to weave herself deeper into the houses. "Harley?" She heard a woman's voice question, Harley turned in the direction the voice came from. She looked around but all she saw where hedges and a large stone fence, then she backed up a few steps to a gate. She saw a beautiful three story Victorian house, it was painted a deep pure blue like the Caribbean sea, the trim was black and in the pre-dawn light the porch looked almost like a void if not for the glint of the stained glass window in the door. Harley couldn’t make out the image in the glass from this angle but she wasn’t really trying, she was looking for the owner of the voice. She didn’t have to look long though cause in that moment a woman in a red silk robe came down the stairs and practically flew across the short distance to the rot iron fence and opened the gate. "Oh my got you have blood all over you, come with me!" The woman said quickly in hushed tones, she looked around making sure her neighbors where no where in sight as she pulled Harley into the shelter of the yard. Harley didn’t argue she was far to tired in this moment, she let the woman help her into the house and up to the second floor. "Come on lets get you cleaned up so we can see how bad your hurt." The woman said kindly taking Harley to a large bathroom, the woman disappeared outside the room for a moment and came back in with three towels and large fluffy robe. "Its not my blood." Harley said flatly. The woman sighed in relief and Harley realized the red robe had gold Chinese dragons painted on it and she wore blue silk pjs under it that also had dragons on it. Looking around the room Harley saw that the walls where pained to look like a lake with mountains on three sides and a wide valley on the fourth. It was done so well that it gave the illusion of the bathroom being made of glass and in the middle of the lake. There were candles placed around the room that where clearly well used, the bathroom smelled wonderful but Harley couldn’t place it, the tub was a large garden tub that could easily fit two people. "I must say I'm glad to hear that, alright do you want me to stay or go?" The woman asked, Harley looked at her blankly. "Why don’t I go, I'm sure you know how to take a bath. This is soap, this is shampoo and this is conditioner." The woman said after a moment, then pointing to three jeweled quirt tops that where popping up out of the tub to the right of the water nozzle. "I'll make us some breakfast and after you eat I'll show you to your room." The woman said, if Harley wasn’t baffled before she was now. Her brain seemed to have finally caught up to her. "Who are you?" Harley blurted out, even to her own ears she sounded rude and ungrateful. "Bath first, then come down stairs and we'll talk." The woman said with a smile before Harley could say another word, then just as quickly she was out of the bathroom and closing the door behind her.An hour latter Harley exited the bathroom in the white fluffy robe, she had debated putting her own "war paint" back on but in the end decided against it because she simply didn’t have the energy. As she came down the steps she was surprised when the soft carpet was replaced by something smooth, she looked down and noticed that she was now walking on a warm wood floor and morning light was spilling in the windows. She followed her nose to the back of the house and found her hostess.
"Have a seat dear I'm almost done." The woman said, Harley did as she was told and took this time to look around. The kitchen was similar to the bathroom only this room looked like it was placed in the middle of a forest, there were plants and herbs painted and growing to the point where you literally could not tell where the walls ended and the plants began. Only the a spiral planter gave one wall away, the island was painted on the side to look like a large oak stump. Harley looked up at the woman in the red robe, her black hair was pulled back at the nape of her neck, she had a healthy tanned look to her and a glow that seemed to light the room just as much as the sun. "Here we are, and there is more on the stove if you want it. Cranberry, orange, or apple juice?" The woman asked. "Apple, please." Harley said looking into the woman's hazel eyes. The woman smiled and turned away, then she pulled out two glasses and brought them to the table with the bottle of apple juice. "Now to answer your question you may call me Nara." The woman said with a smile before she began eating the scrambled eggs. Harley looked at her plate and felt her eye go wide. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, home made biskets and gravy, Harley looked back at the woman and noticed that although Nara was trim, fit and clearly worked out she was built solid. Harley took a sip of her apple juice and started in on the food, then before she knew it she was looking at a clean plate and wanting more. She remembered that Nara said there was more on the stove and when to go investigate. Harley found a enough food for six people on the stove with a smile she served herself a second helping then returned to the table. "I'll have to go to the store after we get you squared away, if there is anything you need let me know so I can pick it up." Nara said halfway through her first serving. "Why are you doing this?" Harley asked through half a mouth of bisket that she had tucked in her cheek like a chimp monk so she could talk. "You honestly don’t remember me do you?" Nara asked, Harley shook her head as she swallowed. "Well I guess that shouldn’t surprise me." Nara said with a sigh, "you were kinds wrapped up in your work a lot. I was your secretary at Arkham. Like you however I had…" she paused looking for the right word."Other… loyalties." "Oh." Harley said surprised that she truly didn’t remember her secretary, she knew she had one but that was all. "So feel free to add anything you need." Nara said clearly not wanting to share more, "and don’t worry about J he is safe." "How do you know that?" Harley said dropping her fork. "I got a call from the Gotham east side hospital, I have a friend that works there and he called me while you were in the shower." Nara explained, "Gordon took him in this morning, he was grazed by the bullet and is in a coma. They wont know more till he wakes up." Nara said calmly. "I want to see him!" Harley said standing up. "No, that’s exactly what they expect out of you. Right now the best thing you can do is sit down and finish your breakfast, then head up to bed." Nara said authoritivly. "You cant do anything to help him right now anyway, he needs a hospital." Harley sat back down but only nibbled at her food, not that there was much left of her second helping. She finished off her apple juice and suddenly felt very tired. "Come on lets get you to bed." Nara said noticing her old boss was now leaning back and forth in her chair. Harley nodded and stood up, Nara led her back upstairs and to a room two doors down from the bathroom. This time the room was painted to be the center of a rose garden, the only thing giving it away was the window seat that looked out over the street, but even that looked like it was accounted for. "This will be your room while you are here, please feel free to explore the house, the only locked door is my bedroom if I'm not in it. If you need anything you can let me know there is also paper and stuff to write on here."Nara said motioning to a desk that Harley hadn't noticed before. "Its beautiful thank you." Harley said. "Your very welcome, in the dresser you'll find a night gown and some lounging close for when you wake up. Its not much but it will do till I can take you shopping." Nara said kindly, then left the room closing the door behind her the crystal handle the only marking that it was a door at all. Harley wondered what she had done to this secretary to warned such good treatment, after all had the woman planed to call the cops why would she have invited her in. At any rate had Nara called the cops on her they would have been here long ago. The night gown Harley found was while lave over pink silk, shedding the robe she slipped into the gown and walked back to the bed, she slipped between the covers and sighed. Her last thought before darkness consumed her was how soft the bed felt.Okay so I realized after I wrote this that I could have started with her walking then done a whole flashback thing but honestly at 4am in the morning I didn’t feel like rearranging the whole thing. Be thankful you got it spell checked lol...
