Requiem Aeternum

Requiem Aeternum

By Hordak’s Pupil

Commissioner Gordon

“The Joker has reached a new level of sadism,” I told the Batman as he looked at the files. It was if what little sanity the man had snapped and gave into his darkest passions. “Fifty people killed all drained of blood. Even for Napier this is a new low.”

The vigilante stood in silence; I asked what he was thinking about. “Harley Quinn, she said that I tortured her and ‘made her what she is’” I remind him that the woman was warped to begin with and it was merely some ranting the Joker fed her.

“Maybe, keep me informed if anything new comes up,” with that the man vanished into the darkness. Heaven help Gotham in this hour of need.

Joker

“Tell me more of this alternate world,” I asked our guest. She looked up from her meal and said that the Bat rules it. “The bat, I knew he was a pest but,” she grabbed me by the collar of my coat and said the bat is the worst evil plagued Gotham.

“He is a monster and must be stopped,” she said he killed her version of me. Ouch at least I went out fighting. “You think you went out ‘fighting’ you are crazy. I was there when he died the Bat broke you and tossed you away like trash.” I feel bad for myself so undignified.

“When I am going to spend time with my sister?” Harley asked eager for someone to talk to who has a decent IQ. I tell them why don’t they go out and have some fun. “”Really Mr. J,” why not it will be fun and you might even run into the Bat.

“Vengeance is mine!” Harley 2 said smiling in a way that even sent a chill up my spine. There was something seriously wrong with her.

Harley Quinn

“Come on, I know a good jewelry store we can rob,” I tell my doppelganger grabbing her hand racing down the alley. She asks if the bat tyrant will be there. “Uh…I guess…he usually does show up.”

“Excellent, I can’t wait to hoist his skull in the air,” she said, I don’t know about hoisting his skull but the fights are very fun. “His reign of suffering will end and will pay for what he’s done.” I giggle telling her things must be really bad if you want to off him like that. “However I am weak. I haven’t fed in hours.”

“I told…,” she pins me against the wall and smiles. “Now now, what’s…” she rips off the collar off my costume. She says it will only hurt for a moment then I will sleep. She smiles and sinks her fangs into my neck. I let out a moan and watch as she drinks my blood.

“Good night Harley Quinn,” was the last thing I heard before I slipped into darkness.

Batman

“She’s in here,” the doctor said taking me to the suite. “She was found in alley way a few miles from here. He noted that he never knew the Joker to be this violent.

I walk into the room. Harley opens her eyes slightly and says what I am doing here. “I need your help. You need to tell me what the Joker is up to?” she says it wasn’t the Joker who did this. “Then who?”

“You remember that robbery a few months back?” I nod. She tells me the Joker was trying to create a portal to another world where I didn’t exist. “Instead of finding that he…,” she slips back into unconsciousness.

“She is delirious from the blood loss,” a nurse comments walking in. “Not to mention that she’s suffering from PTSD. Whatever happened must have been horrible.” I think I know who to visit now.

Gods and Monsters Harley

“In other news, former Arkham employee, Dr. Harleen Quinzel was found laying unconscious in an alley.” The reporter said how she had suffered from blood loss and was delirious. She will eventually recover I never completely drain my victims- only take what I need to survive.

I knew the Bat tyrant will be here soon. He never gives up until his thirst for violence is sated. “Don’t worry love I will avenge you.” 

I take out a syringe, revenge will sweet. Years ago the Bat used the same chemical on me to ‘erase’ my mania. However curing me was not his plan. He turned me into one of his minions. If it wasn’t for the Joker’s heroic sacrifice I would still be locked up in the castle.

“Your end is nigh fiend,” I shot off into the darkness.
