Totally, I can bring it next time you want us to hang out. Not like we don't have a couple in the house, so no rush once you get it. If someone gets pissy, say it was from of Monstros old henchman.
[ Since Monstrso was killed, his henchmen had moved on to other people to work for. Even dead monarch henches could work. Not that anyone would actually care. Gary was in more danger being the second Kano than giving Harley a copy of the handbook.]
Right? And get this, they can also inflate as flotation devices. I found out both of those on the same day. Years after I started working for them. She's done a lot of fantastic science stuff, most of it goes right over my head.
Women do not get enough credit in this industry. It's systemic is what it is. Did you know --
[ Is there a furious way to chew? She chewed like she had a personal vendetta against the cow that made this beef. ]
I'm classed as a hench in Gotham, but I did the planning and the logistics and the actual goddamn hard work for the Joker for years! And he just sat around on his bony ass taking allllll the credit.
[ He watched her angry chew. Setting his food aside again for the drink without leaning too far. A brow arched as she went on. ]
Seriously? Like, I know that happens, but harsh. [ He's seen it happen to Dr. Girlfriend enough, but at least Monarch doesn't claim full credit. ] Have you ever considered being your own villain? Or like maybe doing a duo with another chick? I don't know, just something where you can be you and get credit?
Tell me his henches at least know what you've done for them? Sometimes Primaries can suck, but if you did a lot for the henches I hope they know it and he didn't get that credit. I know how that goes, maybe not to your extreme but Monarchs kinda clueless at times.
[ It wasn't shit talking if it was true.]
Well, take a sabbatical, I've taken a few and it always helps. Maybe leave town, take a cruise, hold a billionaire hostage for a laugh. I don't know, but something.
That blows. I get being scared of him, dudes fucking scary. But, you helped them out. So many henches don't even have insurance, or even a primary that gives a shit. Dude, I'm sorry.
[ He was still holding his soda can in one hand, the other he dropped down to rest on her leg.]
Well, Harley Quinn, the million dollar question is, where would you wanna go on vacation? Do you have a bucket list, dude?
[ She sighed and went unusually quiet while she thought about it. And then she decided, fuck it, this is Gary. It'll be fine. She shifted her position on the couch to lean her body against him. ]
My bucket list was all stuff I wanted with someone else. I've got to figure out a whole bunch of stuff about me now.
[ It was always worrying when Harley went quiet, still, sometimes it was needed.
Gary wrapped his arm around her, to loosely hold her. ]
That's understandable, and I totally get that. It's hard rebuilding when you lose someone. You know I'm always here if you need anything, right, dude? Even to listen.
I try for my friends. [ Gary didn't even complain about the nickname, no this was one of those important moments.
The can in his hand set aside on the nearest flat surface without moving her so he could hug her close a little more properly. ] and I'm always happy to hug you Harley.
I'll watch the mail for them. You know my last name and the address to the house?
[ He had to ask, if that cake showed up it didn't mean she didn't have other ways. Besides not many Newark Mansions with a giant butterfly on the new gate.
Once she say up and bumped his shoulder he offered his fist up for a fist bump.]
[ He was so close to victory, but, damn if it didn't work. He looked at her when she leaned against his side... and wait. He forgot to push any buttons as his eyes widened. It was a dirty trick, but it would work every time. He was so weak to a nice rack. ]
Holy shit, dude, that's so unfair. [ Not that he sounds upset at all. Quite the opposite.]
[ The hug was returned and a small kiss to her cheek. Heading out once he had the leftovers to get that flying car home. She'd get a text later, but that would be after the Monarch caught him. ]

That may be something. I haven't taken a break ... Ever? Never. Just jail vacations.

I'll think about what I want to do. An' I'll send postcards if I take a trip anywhere.

Address yes, last name no.
[ Is it not ... just Gary? There's more? ]
no subject
It's Fischer, Harley. [ He shook his head, amused.] How'd you get the address?
no subject
[ No, she will not be elaborating. Since he seemed done eating she picked up the controller again. ]
Another round before you have to go?
no subject
As soon as he sees her grab the controller, he shifts to grab the other one. ]
You're so on!

Either way, I better go. I'll let you know if I get back without Monarch reading me the riot act.
[ Pushing up off the couch, Gary grabbed his jacket to tug it on, and to dig the mask out of his coat pocket.]
Rematch next time we chill, if you don't take that vacation first?
