Harley shifted in her seat uncomfortably. She could feel Harleen bubbling within her, it made her want to be sick. Possibly also the food. She took another unenthusiastic bite. "Umm, well I, like, do try and be good now..." She admitted, chewing her lip and gazing down at her feet. The blonde hesitated at the question, letting the woman grab her fries. "I've been sorta forced into the quiet life, and it's... a bit boring, but OK." Harley shrugged. "I don't know if it's the life for me. I have this job, and I may be about to take another job. But I'm not sure whether I really wanna, if it's right for me. It's why I wanted to talk to Ivy." She patted the plant pot on their table. "She always knew the right thing ta say to me, y'know?"

"Uh... I only gots the one mattress, and my place is real messy right now. Smells pretty gross too, but if really wannaaaa then... yes, you can stay." She smiled sweetly. "It'll be like a sleepover. Except instead of your pyjamas, you're dressed all up like a bat." Harley wiped her face with her napkin, staining it white, then shot up from the table dramatically. "C'mon, let's get the hell outta here, Batsie." She took her by the hand.

“Yo! Never rub another man’s rhubarb! And heroes definitely don’t try to beat a baddie by running other heroes over, that’s basic dude!”

"This is Summer Gleeson with Gotham Action 8 News, interrupting the final game of the World Cup between France and Croatia, to bring you a live press conference by the Mayor…okay, he’s just starting…"
“Ladies and gentlemen, I wish I could say that this is a good afternoon but it is not. In fact, this past weekend has arguably been the darkest two days in Gotham’s recent memory and certainly the darkest since I took office last fall. Just in the last 48 hours, we have seen a terrorist attack on the Gotham University campus, the destruction of the Gotham Docks and an explosion at Wayne Enterprises. At least five dead at the docks, five dead at Wayne Enterprises and an untold number of injuries, not to mention millions, if not billions, of dollars in property damage.”
The Mayor collected his thoughts before continuing.
“And just today, there has been a brazen robbery at the central branch of the Gotham National Bank. But, while this crime was being committed, another crime, just as brazen and even more heinous was taking place at a mom and pop video store in the Lexington Heights section of the East End. Gladys and Joshua Hart, ages 66 and 68, were brutally beaten with baseball bats and shot in the head. They both died on the way to the hospital.”
Mayor Daley paused, his face tight and pained.
“And where were Gotham’s heroes? While Gladys and Joshua Hart were being beaten, these so-called heroes were fighting amongst themselves, acting not as adults but as children. Squabbling and brawling, nearly allowing a dangerous bank robber and supervillain to escape. Luckily, thankfully, our brave men and women in blue, the real heroes, were there to arrest Lady Clayface.”
Daley looked at the gathered reporters and the television audience at home.
“In the past, we could count on Batman. Count on his wisdom and experience and leadership. But since he has abandoned our city, all that we have left are immature, wet-behind-the-ears youngsters running around in tights. Running wild, wreaking havoc, all in the name of fighting crime. But crime has increased, not deceased, under the watch of Red Robin and his supposed Disciples. While I’m sure the lad’s heart is in the right place, his rash and reckless decisions have cost the lives of innocent people.”
Daley stared straight at the camera.
“As a consequence, I am asking that the City Council draft emergency legislation to place all activities by these masked crimefighters under direct police supervision. I am also strengthening enforcement of the vigilantism laws already on the books. No longer will we turn a blind eye to the irresponsible actions of these so-called heroes.”
“Are we talking registration?” a reporter shouted out.
“All options are on the table.”
“Does this have anything to do with Red Robin riding around in a monster truck and terrifying motorists and pedestrians?” another reporter wanted to know.
“It certainly isn’t helping,” the mayor responded sharply. “Okay, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.”
“Okay, this is Summer Gleeson and there you have it. The end of Gotham’s crimefighters? We’ll have to wait and see. Now, back to the World Cup final, already in progress….”

East End
Unbeknownst to the vigilante, a third cop had been in the general area, responding to a request for backup made by the two who’d just been murdered before her very eyes. She hit the breaks on the unmarked car, opening and closing the door. Madison stepped into a puddle as she took off at a run after Whitesnake. She grabbed her walkie-talkie as she went, speaking into it.
“Two officers down on the corner of Clancy and Forrester Boulevard, I’m pursuing the killer now.”
She bolted after him into the alley, leaping neatly over a pile of garbage and broken glass. She was hot on his tail, and from the sound of her shoes hitting the ground, she was gaining on him.

Madison slowed down once she got a clear visual of the assailant. She stared at him, not raising her hands in a show of surrender. She had a frown fixed upon her face as she spoke clearly to Whitesnake. “Sure doesn't look that way from the shape you left those officers in back there.” She said coldly. Madison eyed the man up, taking in whatever details she could from what she saw and heard now.
He had some expensive gear on. Things she’d expect a mercenary to use. He was obviously male, both his posture and voice told her that. But there was another thing, too. Madison narrowed her eyes as she realized it. “So, you gonna shoot me too? I don’t have a vest on right now.” She said, motioning to her almost civilian outfit. The only thing that would brand her as a cop was her badge and ID.

It was at that point he spotted him, taunting that weird looking man who must have been some criminal. He barked giddily, running right up to Tim. He wasn’t aware that jumping up on his chest to lick him wasn’t a good idea at this very moment, but he did it anyway.

Just in the last 48 hours, we have seen a terrorist attack on the Gotham University campus, the destruction of the Gotham Docks, the looting of the Gotham Museum, an explosion at Wayne Enterprises and a mass break-out at Arkham Asylum.

At least five dead at the docks, five dead at Wayne Enterprises, a dozen dead at Arkham, an untold number of injuries, not to mention millions, if not billions, of dollars in property damage.”
