DCU Fanfic: Q&A Session
Title: Q&A Session
Fandom: DCU
Character(s): Harley Quinn, Edward Nygma
Pairing(s): Harley/Eddie
Word Count: 364
Genre: general/friendship
Rating: PG/K+
Notes: Written for iosonosara for my Insta-Meme. She used a Harley-Eddie icon, so I got to write the pairing for the first time. Takes place during BftC. Hey, lookie, Jason sneaked into the fic. Hmm. Eddie is still trying to find out what really happened to the Batman. He finds answers to other questions, ones Harley doesn't want to deal with. (Can be considered a companion piece to Comeuppance.)

"You've hit a pretty low point if you're questioning me, Ed."
"Shut up, Harley," Eddie says, taking off his garish sunglasses as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Don't you think I know that? I don't have a single lead on what happened to Batman! Not a one!"
Harley rolls her eyes. "C'mon, Eddie. There are plenty of new Batmen running around. Question one of them!"
"Are you insane? Wait, I retract that question," he says as Harley pouts, muttering that she was released from Arkham. "Have you seen the newest Batman? He'll sooner killer me than talk with me. No thank you."
"Oh, you mean Jason!" she announces, and Eddie stares at her with shock. "What?"
"You know the new Batman's name!? Harley, that would have been helpful to share!" he shouts as he puts his sunglasses back irritably. "Details, Harl, details."
Harley winces. "I'm just guessing it's Jason. I mean, I never talked to him as Batman. We had this trip around the multiverse, and he just has Jason's style, is all..." Harley pauses. "And well, the last Batman is dead, this one is running around and..."
"And what?" he asks as she bites her lip.
"Well, Mistah J hasn't been spotted since he came around..." she trails off. "I don't care about him! Don't get me wrong, but if the new Batman is Jason..."
"Jason who, Harley? You know his last name?"
"Jason Todd," she answers slowly, looking worried. "See, puddin' killed him once and-"
Eddie's eyes widen, putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "He was that dead Robin?" Harley nods as Eddie puts a hand on her shoulder. "This needs more investigation, but Harley..."
Harley sniffs. "I told ya, I don't care what happens to that clown!" she shouts, wiping her eyes. "Jason should kill him. He probably deserves it."
Eddie pulls Harley into a hug. "Doesn't mean you don't care, Harley. You spent a lot of time with him," he says as she sniffles into his jacket. "You're allowed to-"
Harley clings tighter. "No, let's not talk about him," she says mumbling into his jacket.
Eddie nods and just holds Harley until she's ready to let go.
