Joker stared in disbelief, his painted grin faltering as Harley leaned comfortably against Pamela's shoulder. His eyes darted between them, confusion clouding his voice. "Harley, what is this? Why are you cuddling with that woman? I thought you were into men!"
Pamela met his gaze with calm contempt. "I'm just more of a Woman than you could ever be a man, Joker."
Barbara chuckled under her breath. "Ooh, nice pun."
Pamela turned slightly, her tone dry. "Thanks, Barbara."
Joker's mouth opened, then closed again, no sound coming out. His gloved hand rose to his lapel, gripping the wilted flower pinned there. Harley stepped closer, her face calm, her voice even. "Joker, it's not you. It's me. I've grown and evolved as a villain, and you don't meet my standards anymore. Honestly, I've outgrown you. And the fact that you keep clinging to this tired clown persona is just sad. You don't even have any clown powers—unlike me."
Joker blinked slowly. "What are you talking about? Since when do you have powers?"
Harley crossed her arms. "I never showed you because you weren't worthy as a man to see them. But Barbara and Pamela? They're different. I reveal all my clown secrets to them. I can spontaneously create clown-themed gear from thin air. Where do you think all those clownmobiles in your garage came from?"
Joker frowned, brows twitching. "I… I thought they just kind of showed up."
Harley snorted lightly. "They didn't. I created them. Some spontaneously, others by accident—usually when I was embarrassed by how much Batman was kicking your ass."
Joker's fingers tightened around the lapel flower until the stem creaked. His voice cracked. "Harley, you can't do this to me. After I conned you out of your professional career as a psychiatrist in Arkham Asylum… you're breaking my heart."
Harley lifted one shoulder in a shrug. "Please, Joker. We both know you don't have a heart."
"Even if that's true," he muttered, his tone shaking, "I'm still shocked."
The next moment, Joker's expression twisted into fury. He lunged forward, squeezing the flower hard. A jet of sizzling acid burst from the corsage, spraying toward Harley and Pamela. "You think you can leave me, you little bitch? I'll melt you both into an eternal puddle of death!"
Before the acid could touch them, the Midnight Rose shot up from the ground, its petals widening into a shield. The green and black bloom hissed as the acid struck, steam rising where the fluid bubbled and burned. The plant's petals smoked, then quickly knit themselves back together, healed by Pamela's energy.
Pamela frowned. "Aw, man. All that vitality I just fed on from your minions is all gone now. Thanks a lot, Joker."
Barbara rushed over, scanning the steaming floor. "Are you two okay?"
Pamela brushed off a few droplets of acid vapor from her shoulder. "We're fine. Looks like we're wrapping things up here."
Barbara's mouth curved into a dark smile. "Then allow me to wrap things up for both of you."
She raised her right hand, a sphere of crackling blue electricity forming in her palm. The tent lights flickered as arcs of energy danced around her fingers. Her eyes glinted with dangerous devotion. "How dare you try to hurt Harley and Pamela… my Pamela Isley—the love of my life."
Joker stumbled backward, waving his arms defensively. "H-Hey, hey, Barbara, take it easy. It was all just fun!"
Barbara's voice turned cold. "Fun, huh? I'll show you fun."
The orb flared, and she hurled it straight at him. A violent bolt of lightning tore through the air, striking Joker dead-on. His skeleton flashed visible for an instant like a grotesque X-ray, and his body jerked violently as electricity poured through him.
Harley snapped her fingers. Three pairs of sunglasses appeared out of thin air, hovering before them. "Sometimes my clown powers create random things," she said casually. "These awesome sunglasses are for the light show."
Pamela and Barbara each grabbed a pair, slipping them on. Together, they watched Joker convulse on the ground, sparks leaping from his gloves as his screams filled the tent and his teeth began to pop out of his mouth.
Pamela tilted her head slightly. "I didn't know all of Joker's teeth were fake."
Harley laughed lightly. "Oh yeah, they're all prosthetics. Batman's knocked them out too many times. When he gets punched, they just fly out. Arkham gives him his teeth back, and he pops 'em right in."
Barbara nodded once. "Makes sense."
Joker's screams wavered into a shrill rasp. "I won't let you get away with this, Harley Quinn!"
The bolt faded, leaving him smoking where he lay. He twitched, green hair scorched and brittle, the edges of his purple coat blackened and curling. He tried to lift his arm, trembling. "You… haven't heard the last… of the Joker…" His voice cracked on the last word. Then his head slumped to the side, unconscious.
Harley exhaled and turned toward Pamela and Barbara. "Well… let's get out of here. No need to kill him. He's one of Batman's main archenemies."
Pamela folded her arms, eyes narrowing slightly. "You don't think he's going to tell Batman what we're up to?"
Barbara shook her head. "No. He'd be too embarrassed to admit that his own ex-girlfriend is a better villain than he is."
Harley chuckled softly. "That's true. He'll keep his mouth shut about this one."
