This is a fan fiction based off of the Batman villain Harley Quinn and how she became The Joker's assistant. It will take place from her late childhood to when she becomes a psychiatrist at Arkham. It will be an original version of her story with elements of how it really happened.

If you have any questions or ideas for it, please post them here. I will have the first chapter up by the weekend.


[spoiler=Prologue]

"It's been far too long. Mr. J's gettin' impatient."

Sitting ardently on the chair, Harley quickly scans through the hard drive, trying desperatly to find The Joker's file. It's been three years since she joined his side; three years of utter insanity that's only gotten worse. Smiling, she finds the file and hits copy, placing it onto the clown shaped usb drive. Then, pulling it from the computer, she laughs as she exits the room, dropping a small object as she does.

Arriving outside, she checks her pockets as a purple car drives up to her. She then looks to the office as it suddenly explodes. The door to the car opens as debris rains down upon the parking lot, and as Harley steps in to sit beside The Joker, she smirks and says, "Oops."

Chapter One : The Begining
***************************

The rain pounds violently against the windows as the storm reaches it's climax. Inside of the newly built Gotham City Orphanage, a young woman is huddled on a couch with a group of at least ten children, all of whom are frightened by the booming thunder outside. The woman is Angela Jackson, a thirty year old single mother and facilitator of the orphanage; and even though it's been only a year since Gothan gave her the go ahead to turn her home into a place for the needy children of the crime infested city to live, she knows that as long as she keeps at it, these children will grow up to be productive members of society, like Thomas and Martha Wayne.

Suddenly, a loud bang at the door surprises Angela, causing her to nearly drop a little Asian girl named Shyleen. Getting to her feet, she slowly walks over to the front door and cautiously opens it, looking out into the night. There on the door step, wrapped tight in satin cloth, is a baby girl, sleeping soundlessly.

Picking the girl up in confusion, Angela takes a quick glance up and down the street in search of the child's parent, but to no prevail. So sighing, she smiles at the girl and takes her inside. Closing the door behind her, she sets the girl down on a small love seat when she notices a note sticking out of the wrappings. Grabbing it as the other children begin to crowd around the baby, she reads.

To Whom It May Concern,
Please take care of Harley, my beautiful baby girl, as I can no longer do so myself. I ask, I beg of you to provide her with a positive home and to give her good influences. Love her like you would love your own, and never forget to tell her you do.
Thank You,
Miss Quinzel

Looking over to the sleeping girl on the chair, surrounded by the curious children, Angela smiles and repeats the name to herself, "Harleen Quinzel," before walking back over to her and lifting the girl to rock in her arms as the newest member of their loving family.

"Harleen! You're going to be late for school!," Angela calls up the stairs to the thirteen year old. It's been twelve years since the day the mysterious girl arrived on her doorstep, and she's never regretted it. Harleen's a handful sometimes, but is always polite and generous with the others. She's a great kid, unlike those "valley girls", Shyleen and Rebecca. You barely see them interacting with anyone. Instead they'd rather paint each others nails or talk about the hot guys at school.

Bounding down the stairs, jumping off at the third one up and landing perfectly, Harleen brushes back her beautiful blonde hair and grins. Taking the lunch bag from Angela, she kisses her goodbye and heads out the door behind Shyleen and Rebecca.

As they head down the road on the way to Gotham High, Harleen puts on her headphones to listen to music, and drown out the chatting between those two. However, as they pass Main Street, she overhears them laughing about something, and notices Shyleen say to Rebecca, "That's hot."

At first, she assumes the girl's refering to some guy at school, but suddenly realizes Rebecca's hand is on fire. Dropping her bags, Harleen runs forward and smothers Rebecca's hand in her jacket, putting the flames out. Breathing in relief, Harleen looks up to the two, hoping for thankful looks, but instead they both glare angrily at her.

"Hey brat," Shyleen growls, shoving Harleen to the ground, "what'd ya do that for!?"

Harleen looks up, confused and scared, but as she's about to respond, Rebecca asks, "Squirt, ya ever hear of something called a meta-human?" Harleen suddenly remembers a story she heard about Superman and the deeds he's done for Metropolis, and nods.

"Yeah, it's someone with powers, right?," Harleen asks nervously. The two girls laugh at her and step forward, holding out their hands. Suddenly, both of them combust into flames. Harleen freaks out again, until she realizes neither girl seems to be hurt by them. In fact, it appears they're controling the fire.

"Get it twerp?," Shyleen asks with an evil smirk, "we've got powers. We can both control flames, meaning we're both better than you'll ever be." Then, with one final kick to the gut, they leave Harleen stranded there in the street. Sitting there in shock, she goes over what she just saw, but suddenly remembers that it's a special day at school and grabs her stuff, running after the other two. Today, Bruce Wayne comes to Gotham High.

Very interesting. Don't know much about Harley herself, but the prologue is good.
