[ That was why he was worried about asking. He already knew Monarch thought she would distract him as it was. ]

Holy shit, like that dude seemed solid. You can't trust anyone these days. [ He's quiet a moment. ] Harley, dude, I got nothing going on tonight. How about we go break into that zoo?

[ Sure, he was still scared of Bruce, but if he couldn't offer her a place, maybe he could help get Bruce back. Not like the cops can touch a guild member.]

[revmeup]

[ She makes a pained noise. ]

That's so sweet of you but as much as I miss my baby I've got nowhere to take care of him yet.

It's okay. I'm used to starting over.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ That noise hurt.

He so wanted to go ask Sheila and remind Malcolm they're partners now, he should have a say. But this was Malcolm's childhood home...]

A rain check then, you call me when we're going to get him, okay? So, where are you tonight? I could swing out and see you if you want, no pressure, though. I've got the time again.

[ He hadn't told her of the tenning, or that they were once again benched due to the shocker that was tossed at them as soon as they were promoted. ]

[revmeup]

Aw geez. I would so love one of your hugs right now, but Scarecrow would be super pissed if I gave out his address.

[ Maybe she could meet him somewhere. ]

Missed you bunches.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ That was a terrified sound. ]

Oh god no, don't give me Scarecrow's address, I'd rather not be scared to death. [ He shuttered at the thought of it. She knew some scary, scary guys. ] I missed you too dude, and you can absolutely have all the hugs you want.

You know, I'm not broke right now, I could rent us a room and bring one of my game systems if your cool with that?

[revmeup]

... Yeah. Yeah that sounds really great.

How many condoms should I bring?

[twoton_twentyone]

Cool, I can do that. Do you know a good spot in Gotham to rent a room?

[ Though he did make a noise, almost one of uncertainty. A moment of silence before he finally spoke up. ]

Dude, you totally don't have to bring any. I want to be there with you, but we don't have to have sex for that to happen.

[ He wouldn't say no if it came up, but that anxious feeling deep inside of him wouldn't let him not say it. ]

[revmeup]

There isn't a good spot in Gotham to rent a room. It's Gotham.

[ She considers. Jon might give her a ride in his truck if she gets annoying about it. ]

We could meet in Trenton again?

[twoton_twentyone]

That's fair, and I really don't want my game system stolen if we run out on a 7/11 run.

[ It's Gotham. He's heard some shit. Harley was a brave woman risking that truck just to go to Trenton. ]

Yeah, I can do that. I still have the info from last time. [ Gary had stolen a note pad just to do it before they left last time. ] I'll call and make the reservations. So, Xbox, PlayStation, or switch? Pick your poison, dude.

[revmeup]

Switch, please! It has better co-op games.

You're the best. You know that, right?

[twoton_twentyone]

Sweet! I so got this. I'll bring my case of games too, so we have choices! Want me to bring a wireless controller for you too?

[ He chuckled at her sweet words. ]

I try, and you know, what are friends for? Right?

[revmeup]

If you don't mind.

[ She grinned into the phone. He could probably hear it in her voice. ]

Right, yeah. I just seriously love you and you should know.

[twoton_twentyone]

I SO totally don't mind. I wouldn't have offered if I did.

[ It's not like he was handing her his mint in box Star wars figures. THAT will probably never happen. She's amazing, but nope. ]

Jeeze, dude, you're going to make me blush here. I love you too man, you know that.

[revmeup]

So when are we doing this?

[twoton_twentyone]

We could do it tonight, or if you want a little more time maybe tomorrow afternoon we could meet up? Either way I'm totally cool.

[revmeup]

Tonight!

[ If she woke up to Scarecrow watching her one more time she was going to lose it. He kept creeping closer each time. She did NOT want to know what would happen when he got close enough to jab a needle in her.

They settled on the details and she met him at the hotel, a little late because it had taken longer to cajole a ride out of Jon than she'd expected. As soon as she saw him she threw herself at him for a hug. ]

Garyyyyyyy!

[twoton_twentyone]

[ At least it was a mostly free place to stay... but Scarecrow. Poor Harley.

Gary has already checked in and left his bag upstairs in the room. He was chilling in the lobby in a chair reading a graphic novel he brought for the train ride. Looked up when he heard the door whoosh and met her halfway for the hug. Pulling her close into a tight hug as she threw herself at him for the hug, spinning them both once before lowering her down but not ending the hug.

He was wearing jeans and a jean jacket and a random colored T-shirt.]

Dude, it's been so long, it's so good to see you.

[revmeup]

[ Harley wrapped her arms and legs around him, clinging like a baby koala, and buried her face into the crook of his shoulder. ]

Ohmigosh I missed you so much! I'm never gonna let go!

[twoton_twentyone]

[ He didn't even care that the receptionist definitely recognized Harley or was looking at them funny. He kept his arms around her as she koala'd him. Just happy to have her there and holding her like this. It was adorable.]

You totally don't have too either, I can carry you upstairs like this.

[ Gary's tone clearly relieved to see he and happy at the same time. Her head is still on her shoulders. Good.]

[revmeup]

[ She mumbled a yaaaaay, muffled as it was with her face still pressed into his shirt. Seeing him again made her realize how much time had been spent about to die (pretty much constantly) since the last time they'd hung out (way too long ago). ]

Take me away from it all! And tell me all about what's new with you. I could do with hearing some good news.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ Gary didn't need to be told twice. Even if she was muffled on that yay. He stated to carry her with ease towards the elevator. ]

Anything you want, dude. Absolutely. Wow, I don't even know where to start.

[ The button pressed as he looked down at the top of her head.] Best place to start is... I'm not a hench anymore, not really. I got promoted to a level 10 villians with the Monarch. I'm still going by 21 unofficially though.

[ On paper he was now the Viceroy finally, but no one would ever call him that, despite years of trying.]

[revmeup]

[ Harley pulled back to look at him, absolutely lighting up. ]

Babe, that's amazing! You worked so hard for that!

[ She kissed him in her eagerness to celebrate. ]

[twoton_twentyone]

[ Gary had that goofy smile back on his face when she pulled back and lit up. He was so proud of hitting that level 10.]

Th..[ The thanks was swallowed up in the kiss. The elevator door opening as he backed them inside without letting go. He'd hit the bottom in a moment.]

[revmeup]

[ She ended the lip lock and dropped a little peck on the tip of his nose like punctuation. ]

I'm really proud of you.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ There was no denying the pride he had in that moment. Grinning at her as he pressed the 7 on the number pad.]

Thanks, Harley. It means a lot! We had to do a lot of bullshit to pull it off but after the Morpho stuff went to shit we had to be work fast. Oh fuck, yeah I gotta tell you about that later. Total mind fuck.
