The Malefactor Files: Harley Quinn #12

File #8

 

Attachment: Asylum Therapy Room CCTV Cam 1:24-1:45.mp4

 

”Mr J, I’m not sure I’m ok with this. I mean….if we do all these bad things to bad people, doesn’t that make us bad people as well?”

 

”Harley my dear. Everyone’s a hypocrite in some way. Dear old Batsy thinks he’s a good man because rather than victimise the average joe he goes after the aggressors when in reality he’s upsetting the balance. The strong will prey on the weak, all we can hope is to remain the strong.”

 

”But if we’re hurting these bad people aren’t we exactly the same as them?”

 

”Of course we are Harley. But there’s one thing you to remember. Everyone we go after has done something bad once in their lives.”

 

”How can you be so certain?”

 

”Human nature. Deep down we’re all monsters at some point in our lives. I’m just willing to accept it and move on. The question really is, will you stand by me?”

 

”…..Yes…….”

 

”I knew there was a reason I liked you.”

 

With that the Joker grabs hold of Harley and kisses her on the lips. It’s the first time he displayed visible affection towards the former doctor and it appeared to do all that he’d hoped. She gave in. She allowed her feelings towards the clown prince of crime to control her and rather than try to change him, she accepted him for what he was. Not for what she wanted him to be.

 

In the end, her attempts to change the Joker merely resulted in him converting her.

 

Harleen Quinzel died that night. In her place rose the Joker’s accomplice known as Harley Quinn.

 

Over the many years after she broke him out of Arkham, Harley would come to realize the truth of the man she was so infatuated with. He wasn’t the angel she thought he was. In fact, to call him the devil incarnate would do him a disservice. He’d often beat her for stepping out of line and even throw her aside if it helped himself. Yet still, she refused to leave him. That’s the danger of love. You’ll do almost anything to make someone happy, even if it’s against your own interests.

 

It’s an interesting thing to observe. Joker made no secret of his hatred for his father and how he used to beat him and his mother, and yet he seems to have become the very same thing. In many ways the attempts of the son to escape his father’s legacy merely resulted in him becoming the father. I wonder if I’ll ever be lucky enough to become like my father….

 

End of Case Files.
