Harley squeaked and choked on her drink, "He said that? Why would he say that? Pammy, why did he say that?" Oh, she did NOT want to go home to that. But not going home would make it worse. Suddenly she just hugged Ivy, hard.
"Pammy won't let him take my face off!" She loved Mistah J, but he could be so... scary sometimes when he was mad. "He just needs time to cool off..."
She's so hung up on that she can't even picture Bats with half a face.
Crane smirks. "What I do, I do for science, Edward. They simply can't accept the radical steps I take for the advancement of human understanding," he sniffs. "The rest of you are the obsessed ones. Crazy. I'm merely a misunderstood visionary."
He rolls his eyes. "Disgrased Japanese businessman indeed. What does that even mean?"
"Yes, but you always go after the most obvious targets." she sniffs and takes a drink. "Please, Crane. If you're that good give me a challenge." She leans in a little. "I'll bet you cannot scare the Clown."
Harley let go of Ivy after a minute, "And I am totally not going to give you your fear-on," she said to Crane looking down at her drink, thinking of Mistah J.
And the last time she had run off and come back. She was so staying with Pammy tonight. "No one can scare Mistah J... he's perfect."
Crane smiles. "Who's to say I haven't scared him?" The grin fades. "However, the Joker is so insane as to make traditional measurements of fear completely impractical in terms of recording his reactions. It is quite rare indeed for his reactions to fear to be completely normal... and those few times I have seen it, it has involved the Bat."
He represses a small internal shudder.
"Why, judging from his reactions, you wouldn't think him even slightly frightened by the idea of his 'true love' getting carved into pieces by a scythe."
All Crane's talk of 'skin peeling' and 'scythe cutting' made Harley uncomfortable. So, the Riddler's statement earned him a big, friendly smile. "Thank you! Yeah, what he said," she said making a face at Crane.
"So you don't talk to me like you're one of my old teachers or something."
"I think you'll find that the Batman is quite happy to give you an unaccredited degree in fear, anytime you care to cross his path. Personally, I've never found him that frightening - he's just another puzzle to unravel. A challenge."
"Do we have to talk about him?" Harley asked. "He's the reason everything always goes wrong. I don't like him. One day, Mistah J and I will get him, you'll see. We'll have the last laugh."
She thought about that with a grin as she took another drink, "Or me and Pammy here could do it. 'Cause we have girl power."
