"Uh...sure thing Mistah Jay." she called as he turned and left her. She stood there for a moment, watching him, then turned and began walking down the street herself. She hefted her mallet over her shoulder and continued walking down the street. Her mind in a million different places at once. Ninety percent of it was on the Joker. Only about three percent of it was on Harley's immediate surroundings.

 Lady Deathstrike got herself dressed quickly, still boiling mad. A string of curses flew out of Yuriko's mouth in Japanese. Once she was in her black bodysuit, the Japanese cyborg linked herself to her cellphone and routed the phone's signal to the cell towers to Harley's cell phone. Dark eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared as she activated her HYDRA Teleport Ring incorporated into her systems. Reappearing in a dark alleyway ahead of Harley's path, the Japanese assassin waited to pounce like a panther. And when the lady clown began to pass by Yuriko's ambush, Lady Deathstrike sprung into action. Latching her grip on a completely unaware Harley Quinn, the costumed villainess was whisked into the alley by one hand, Harley's mallet was slapped out of her grip with the other. In the same fluid motion, the assassin pinned Quinn against a brick wall, practically snarling in Harl's white visage, "You... You.... WENT to HIM!?!?"

eep.....
Harley was jerked back hard. By the time her brain caught up with what was happening, she was bodily pinned to a brick wall with Yuriko staring furiously at her.
"I.... Harley began, trying to find the right words that wouldn't get herself killed. By her OR Joker. "...he ran into me when I was out thinking.....he wanted to show me.....something that he had at his place." she replied. "It was something someone else was looking for, so I thought I'd go see it and....you know....have some actual information. He....well....he asked who all was looking for him...." she said, her voice trailing off. There was no easy way to explain the last bit.

Deathstrike's face inched closer to Harley's, asian eyes narrowing into the wide blue eyed gaze of the lady clown's -- snarling, "And you TOLD him about me....."

Harley gulped. "I......I told him that you were looking for him, along with someone else. He....he was wanting to know if anyone was after him for a job since he hasn't been out and is out of the loop....and....well....*mumbles*"

Yuriko's anger seemed to grow, clearly visable to Harley's eyes. A snarl fully took in Yuriko's face as her voice dropped an octave, "What was that last part? Your voice trailed off."

Harley gulped again. "And I couldn't get out of it. I couldn't make up some excuse, and I knew if I told him I left your number at my place, he'd just follow me to get it. And then my crew would want to work for him again, and then......well......he's......he's different now than he was before...." she said quietly.

Yuriko groaned and rolled her eyes, shaking her head at Harley's response -- feeling like she was going to smack some sense into the blonde, "And the cycle continues.... HOW many times have you gone back to the Joker, and it turns out the same?! Harley, you are a smart woman, use your head! The Joker always seems to play you like some twisted marionette...."

Harley's gaze became frustrated now. Broken record. Here we go with Red's broken record all over again.
"There IS something different about him this time. I can tell on a professional level that something's changed in him." she replied, then paused for a beat. "Maybe not completely, but......he's changed." she added, her voice gentle.

Yuriko read something in Harley's response, softening her expression as she spoke, "Does that mean that there's been another woman? Once a man cheats on a woman, how can the woman ever trust him again?"

Harley didn't say anything. Instead she just looked away from Yuriko's gaze. She knew what she wanted to say..
....yeah. There have been a few other women. One of them he's wanting to kill. The other one he's still with.

Making careful note of Harley's silence, Yuriko carefully pulls Harley's chin around to face her, "If your silence means that there has been another woman, I believe that should answer your question. His desires lay elsewhere, not with you."
Yuriko's expression showed that she was saddened by Harley's broken heart.

Harley looked at Yuriko for a moment, still silent. He.....he did seem rather devoted to Rosie. More so than he ever was with her...
"...yeah....yeah....I guess he never did act like this with me before...." she said quietly.

Yuriko searches Harley's eyes seeing the conflict there, adding her thoughts to help the blonde come to a conclusion, "Then... walk away from him. You can make whatever life you choose. I may be ... mad at you right now; however, you.... I understand some of what you've gone through with this man, and I understand the 'abuse cycle'. If you would let me, I would like to have a chance to make you happy."

Harley remained silent, her gaze fixed on Yurko. She...she really didn't know what to say. She just couldn't find the words to say anything.
