Chapter 17: Broken Friendship

Outside

" What is it Snart?"

Shizuka questions out just as Captain Cold brought her outside of the house.

Captain Cold sighs and he admits out.

" Listen Shizuka, I know I have been quite a nuisance, especially with all that incessant flirting and stuff like that."

" We all know!"

Flash exclaims out mischieviously, causing Captain Cold to shout out.

" Dammit Flash! Get out of here!"

The Flash immediately disappears in a red and yellow streak, leaving Captain Cold alone with Shizuka.

" But the truth is, you are a woman who have somehow made me feel what I thought I never feel."

" And that is?"

" Love."

Shizuka widens her eyes as Captain Cold explains.

" You see, daddy was never nice when I was a kid. Had to take a beating for my sister and I became an ice cold assassin alongside my pal Mick."

Shizuka widens her eyes in shock just as Captain Cold explaims further.

" I became cold after all the shit my father put me through, and I was never sure if I could even feel anything from that. But...."

Captain Cold held onto Shizuka's hand and he continues.

" Your presence. You have brought up a feeling I thought I would never have."

Shizuka felt her face flush and she questions further.

" So? What's the point of all of this Snart?"

" The point is......"

Captain Cold braces himself as he blurted out softly.

" I.....like you."

" What?!"

" I like you okay! Geez, has that song I let you hear didn't ring a bell to you?"

" No although it was rather nice. What's her name? Dodie was it?"

Captain Cold sighs and he continues.

" Now, I do not know whether you feel the same way about me Shizuka but.........if you don't lile me, it's fine."

Captain Cold turns around, walking away from Shizuka.













Inside the house

" Aww, come on Mister J, have a cookie!"

Harley said as she moves a cookie closer towards the Joker's mouth.

Joker turns his head around and he said sulkingly.

" Go away Harley. I am in no mood to deal with you."

" Aw come on puddin. Just one bite."

" Go away!"

Joker screams out in fury, and he swung his hand across, slapping Harley across her cheek.

Angered, Harley massages her sore cheek and she shouts back at him.

" Fine! Since you don't care about anyone, you can just stay in this godforsaken house and sulk!"

Harley storms out of the house, leaving Cyborg, Batwoman and Aquaman watching her.

At the same time, Supergirl enters the house and she questions.

" What happened?"

Cyborg answers.

" Harley spent most of the day preparing cookies for the Joker. But that stupid clown......just doesn't appreciate her efforts."

" Man, that's terrible."

" I know."

Aquaman agrees.

Supergirl turns to look at the door and she asks in concern.

" Is she going to be okay?"

Batwoman shrugs.

" I don't know Kara."














Outside

Harley storms out of the house and she pouts out.

" It's not fair! How can Mister J treat me like this after all this time?!"

As Harley slumps onto a tree, just then, she heard a thud from behind.

" Huh?"

Harley spun around to look.

A tall woman stood looming over her, cladded in a full body suit exposing the right side of her face.

Harley narrows her eyes and she questions out.

" Risty?"

Harley jumps up and she squeals out excitedly.

" Risty! So glad you're alright! I was worried sick hun!"

However, Risty simply stares at her coldly, not replying to Harley.

Harley looks at Risty and she questions.

" Huh, what's with that get up? Are you getting tired of that underwear you were wearing? It looks pretty nice though."

Risty didn't reply, instead she bears out her mace, causing Harley to exclaim out.

" Whoa whoa! What are you doing Risty?"

Risty grits her teeth as she lunges forward, swinging her mace outwards.

Harley ducks underneath the attack and she rolls across the floor.

The clown picks up a hammer and she throws it at Risty.

However, the stone cold assassin swung her mace across, deflecting the projectile.

" Uh oh!"

Harley jumps back just as Risty lunges forward.

She somersaults across the yard before jumping upwards into the air.

Before Risty could even react, Harley swung her leg across, striking her across the cheek.

Harley throws a punch across, sending Risty stumbling backwards.

" Look Risty, I don't know what happened to you but please.....snap out of it!"

Risty glares angrily at Harley and she sprints forward, throwing her mace forward.

" OOF!!!"

Harley coughs out just as the mace struck her right in the gut, sending her falling onto the ground.

Risty steps towards Harley, her eyes cold with hatred as she closes in.

Harley looks up and she shouts.

" You know what? I had it!"

Harley picks up the mace and she swung it across, striking Risty in the face.

As she strikes Risty repeatly with the mace, Harley shouts out.

" I've had it with being abused! I've had it with being abandoned and I've had it with my friends hitting me!"

CLANG!!!

Harley swung the mace upwards, striking Risty under her chin.

" ARGHHHHHH!!!!"

Risty screams out as she falls onto the ground, injured from the attack.

Harley drops the mace onto the ground, panting as she watches Risty pushing herself up.

The Benevelont Bandit stares at her before jumping upwards into the trees, disappearing from sight.

Just as Risty vanishes, at that moment....

" Harleen!"

Harley turns, only to find Poison Ivy and Catwoman rushing towards her.

" Are you okay?"

" I'm fine Red."

" Supergirl told us what happened, are you sure you are alright?"

Catwoman questions in concern.

" I said I'm fine!"

Harley turns around and she storms off into the market place, leaving Poison Ivy and Catwoman looking at each other in concern.
