Brainiac 5 meandered from his Nyi level room, activating his flight ring the moment he exited the building. He would patrol today, knowing that not only did very little happen in the early evening but he didn't really think he'd be able to handle a vampire, or a super powered fiend like Naoki today, even despite his upgraded form.

He flew over the buildings, swooshing around the bank's old clock tower, he laid his his purple metallic hues downwards, only after hearing "Blow something up." He peered down, only to see a woman in a jesters uniform. Mistah J? Was that..

He narrowed his eyes, floating over head, scanning history files, then scanning the recent posts on the econtra comm.

"Harley Quinn, I presume.."

[thedoctress]

Harley jumped slightly, not expecting him to be above her.

With a soft, "eep!" she sprung up and took a few steps back, gazing up at him.

"What's with all these people knowin' my name? Just who are you?"

You know, aside from not being who she hoped he'd been. it was a bit disappointing, really.

Crossing her arms over her chest, she regarded the floating--flying?-- boy--alien?- with a kind of curious, suspicious air. "How are you doin' that...?"

[brainiac5ive]

Brainy crossed his arms over his chest, gleaming down at the villain of lore and history files. The notorious Harley Quinn, second hand to the most dangerous of Gotham's rogues. He smiled smugly at the woman inquiring about him, which made him feel a little extra bold.

"Brainiac 5." He said before slowly floating to the ground, landing on his feet. "And that's my secret. I know you because you're the sidekick of the Joker. I've read the history files on you..."

A beat.

"And before you ask, yes.. I come from your future. The thirty first century, in fact."

[thedoctress]

Well, this...actually wasn't anything new. She'd met a lot of people who'd met her before, but this was... different.

"Mah future? Really?" She was quiet, thoughtful a moment, before grinning slyly. "The future? Really? My reputation proceeds me that long? What's the future like?" She asked, taking a step closer to him, her smile innocent.

She'd milk this opportunity for all it was worth.

[brainiac5ive]

Brainy gave a distasteful snort and shook his head, "When I say your future, I'm refering to the collective future of your universe. You are in history files, but honestly, the info on you is pretty lacking. This is probably my only chance to get a good profile on you."

Brainy wasn't really a Batman fan anyway. Superman, the Super family. Maybe it was a obsession spawning from his predicessor? Maybe. Who knew.

"Flying cars, space travel.. just like in the cartoons.." he half lied, if only to give her a satisfying answer. He didn't want her to leave him hanging.

[thedoctress]

"Ooh, so what, do ya want my autograph?" She teased, laughing brightly. She was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much on her, but maybe that was for the best.

An eyebrow rose. "Lier, lier~" She sing-songed, chuckling a bit. "Yer kiddin' right? I mean, space travel I can believe but flyin' cars? Ha!"

Her hands rested on her hips, shifting her weight onto one leg. "So what, ya wanna interview me or somethin'?"

[brainiac5ive]

"Not really.. No.." Brainy replied, eyes even and nonreactive. The truth was, and his friends may not have believed he was capable of it, but he was messing with her. Sort of.

"Oh, but it's true. Flying cars, transmatter gates.. Whatever you can imagine, really.. Though knowing you I might be giving you too much credit." Did a villain really deserve anything less?

"And again, No."

[thedoctress]

She scowled. Now he was starting to get on her bad side.

"Humph! How rude!" Unimaginative? Her? Is that what he'd just called her!?

Her fingers twitched, itching for her mallet. "Yer lucky these cuffs prevent me from showing you how 'imaginative' I can be!"

[brainiac5ive]

"I hate to say it Ms Quinn but if you were to fight me, and I don't rechomend it, you'd lose." He smiled at her, coy, almost.

"Forgive me, I didn't mean to be so forward or offending. Rest assured that I'll treat you with as much respect as a revered super villain such as your self deserves." Which is not much.

[thedoctress]

"Shows how much you know!" The woman sneered, not quite done being angry, though he sure seemed to be.

But with his next comment, a smug look appeared on her face and she drew herself up. "Well, now that's betta! That's more like it~"

The professional, sane part of her brain was carefully adding 'bi-polar' to the ever-growing list of mental disorders Harley seemed to be acquiring.

"Ya said there wasn't much on me in history books. Just what is said about me?"

[brainiac5ive]

"Just that you were a former psychologist to the Notorious criminal 'the Joker' while working in Arkham Asylum. Driven insane by an unknown variable and joining the criminal gang soon after. You became a regular inmate at Arkham between foiled and successful heists. You had two Hyena's and was Joker's girlfriend or significant other for much of his career until undocumented circumstances. I'm afraid the information, as previously stated, was scarce. I don't believe Batman shared his criminal files with the whole of the Justice League, let alone the Gotham police." Brainy exclaimed, paraphrasing directly from the history file itself.
