Harleen's Point of View

"Yes I'm sure your daughter is fine. She has a lot of recovering to do but apart from that she will be ok." The doctor explained.

I let out a half so half laugh as relief washed over me. I thought she was dead that the universe was somehow punishing me for all the shit that had happened.

"A-A-And Mr J?" I asked.

"Still in surgery. I can't comment on his condition I'm not the surgeon and I haven't seen his condition." The Doctor replied.

I nodded in understanding pushing the clown out of my head again. I wanted him to die but there was no point dwelling on the uncontrollable.

"Can I see my daughter now?" I said.

"Of course follow me." The doctor smiled.

Pushing open the door to my daughter's room I was shocked when I saw her lying hooked up to all the machines. She looked so young and vulnerable as I made my way towards her bed. She stirred slightly as I brushed her hair from her face but didn't open her eyes.

"It may take her a few hours to wake up, she has a lot of pain medication." The doctor informed me.

"But…." I began to say but the doctor cut me off.

"But she will be fine I can assure you of that." He smiled.

"Thanks." I smiled as he left the two of us alone.

"Erin honey you scared me half to death, please don't ever do that again!" I whispered.

I had begun to doze off when Erin began to stir. She tried to sit up but winced in pain as a result.

"Stop moving." I scolded as I rubbed my eyes.

I hadn't realised how tired I was until I was woken up.

"What happened?" Erin croaked as she collapsed back down.

"You got shot." I told her.

"He shot me…" Erin trailed off.

"Yeah and you shot him." I added.

"Is he…Um is he….Dead?" Erin pressed.

"I don't know sweetie last I heard he was in surgery but that was hours ago. You are my main concern how are you feeling?" I asked.

"Fine I guess….You know aside from being shot." Erin joked.

"That's not funny." I scolded but I couldn't help smiling.

It seemed like forever since I saw Erin happy and smiling. A silence fell as we both seemed to take in the events of the last few hours not to mention years.

"Mom?" Erin said bringing me from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I said as a yawn escaped my lips.

"Is it wrong that I want him to die?" Erin mumbled.

I considered her questions carefully and thought of my own feelings before answering.

"Honestly Erin….I don't know how to answer that. I mean I should probably tell you it is wrong to wish someone dead but….But to be honest I want him dead. Dead means its permanent there is no coming back, no plans, no schemes no crazy psychotic episodes to worry about…." I trailed off.

"So yes but no?" Erin laughed.

"Am I good mother or what? Full of so much wisdom and advice." I smirked.

"You're the best mom there is. Why else would I have gone through so much to save you ass?" Erin replied.

"I love you Amber Quinzel Scott you know that?" I grinned.

"Ohh so I'm Quinzel Scott now am I?" Erin smiled.

"Only if you want to be I should have stayed with your real dad instead of leaving you with him. Mr J ruined my life, your dads life and he isn't going to do it again." I assured my daughter.

Before I could reply the doctor knocked and entered the room.

"I have an update on Mr J." He announced.

"What?" Both Erin and myself said in union.

"He has passed away. The bullet did too much internal damage and there was nothing that could be done." He stated.

"You sure?" Erin asked.

"That he is dead?" The doctor asked, clearly puzzled.

Erin nodded.

"No pulse, not breathing and blood all over the operating room floor yes I'm 110% sure he is dead." The doctor clarified.

"Thank- you doctor." I thanked as the doctor once again left the room.

"Well that's that…." I sighed.

"Yeah…." Erin remarked.

"You know what that means?" I said.

"What?" Erin pressed.

"We are finally free!" I grinned.

"Free…..That is a nice sounding word." Erin agreed.

"Who needs the Bat?" I giggled as a wave of joy came over me.

"Definitely not Harleen Quinzel." Erin smirked.

"Goodbye Mr J and Goodbye Harley Quinn I got rid of both!" Erin celebrated.

The End!
