American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 249 Crazy Clown

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Harley reached for the remote control and turned on the TV. She hoped that some background noise would distract her and give her time to sort out her thoughts. However, the picture that popped up on the TV screen shocked her whole body.

"Breaking news," the anchor's voice was serious and tense, "Gotham City is in a panic. The notorious criminal 'Joker' has gathered a large number of followers to form the so-called 'Joker Gang.'"

The scene cuts to a grainy video showing the Joker standing among a group of enthusiastic fans with his signature hideous grin on his face.

The host continued: "Even more disturbing is that the Joker issued a horrific threat. He declared that if Harley Quinn is not found within three days, he will randomly blow up five hospitals and schools in Gotham City."

"Little Pudding~" Harley covered her mouth and looked at the clown on TV with emotion. The clown actually threatened the entire city just to find her.

"Don't be moved. It would be fine if the clown didn't turn evil, but after he turned evil, why did he blow up schools and hospitals, and five of them at once?" Xiao Xian said, looking at the crazy clown on the TV screen.

"Is he really going to blow up schools and hospitals?" Harry asked.

"It's hard to say. Wayne Enterprises has Superman under its umbrella." Xiao Xian shook his head and said, "If the matter doesn't get out of hand, Bruce may not ask Superman for help for the sake of Batman's reputation. But if the Joker bombs five schools and hospitals in Gotham, then Batman will have no reputation."

"Besides, even if Superman doesn't take action, I won't let him blow up the school and hospital." Xiao Xian said as he looked at the Joker on TV whose eyes were becoming increasingly crazy. Everyone in Gotham is a talented person, and they can't be blown to death just because of this.

"Little Pudding~" After hearing what Xiao Xian said, Harley looked at the clown on the TV screen and said worriedly, "Let me contact him! Please."

"No, you are an important factor in his determination to resist Batman's tyranny. Once he knows that you are fine, the Joker will definitely think that there is still a long time to come and slowly plan." Xiao Xian shook his head and said, "But I can assure you that the Joker will definitely not be killed by Bruce."

"Really? Bruce has always been ruthless to his enemies." Harley said worriedly.

"Don't worry." Xiao Xian said with a smile. Not to mention causing trouble in Gotham, even if it was the end of the world, it would be difficult for the Joker to die. In other timelines in the Justice League, even when humans were almost extinct, the Joker was still alive and well.

After breakfast, Poison Ivy took the initiative to wash the dishes. She stood in front of the sink and washed the dishes skillfully. Xiao Xian walked over casually, pretending to help.

Harry sat at the dining table, pretending to focus on her phone, but actually keeping an eye on the two men from the corner of her eye. She tried to remain calm, but her curiosity was growing stronger.

Xiao Xian approached Poison Ivy, reached out to pick up a plate, and whispered something. Poison Ivy chuckled and gently bumped him with her shoulder. The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became ambiguous.

Harley saw Xiao Xian's hand inadvertently brush across Poison Ivy's waist, and Poison Ivy slightly turned sideways and gave him a meaningful look.

Suddenly, Xiao Xian leaned close to Poison Ivy's ear and whispered something, causing her to chuckle. Harley pricked up her ears, but could only hear a few vague words.

"Last night was amazing."

"Again." These fragments aroused Harry's curiosity even more. She recalled the sounds she heard last night and the scenes she just saw. Her heartbeat could not help but accelerate wildly, and she felt her body temperature rising rapidly.

At this moment, Poison Ivy turned her head and met Harley's gaze. Harley hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to focus on the phone screen, but in fact she secretly watched the two people behaving ambiguously from the corner of her eye.

Poison Ivy curled up a mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth, blinked her left eye at Harley, and took the initiative to hug Xiao Xian.

After washing the dishes, Poison Ivy straightened her slightly messy clothes and combed her slightly messy hair with her fingers. With a meaningful smile on her face, she turned to Xiao Xian.

"Honey," Poison Ivy said in a sweet voice, "I want to take a bath. Do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Harley who was still pretending to play with her phone, and smiled: "Of course, I'd love to."

Although Xiao Xian suppressed his own charm, his ability to magnify desires was not suppressed much. The pleasure of watching from a close distance increased by dozens of times. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a character in the plot. If it were someone else, they would have surrendered and joined in long ago, but Harley could at least pretend to be serious now.

Poison Ivy took Xiao Xian's hand and walked towards the bathroom. When passing by Harley, Poison Ivy winked playfully: "We will be back in a while."

Harley felt her face burning. She nodded stiffly, trying to act as if nothing had happened. She placed her phone and hands on her thighs, hoping that Xiao Xian and Poison Ivy wouldn't notice anything.

As the bathroom door closed, Harley took a deep breath and unconsciously clamped her legs together. She moved on the sofa, trying to find a comfortable position, but her inner restlessness made it difficult for her to calm down.

Harley stared at the TV screen, pretending to focus on the show, but her mind had already drifted to the bathroom. Various images involuntarily appeared in her mind, making her face even redder.

"Calm down, Halle, calm down," she said to herself mentally, but her body's reaction betrayed her intentions.

The sound of water and occasional laughter from the bathroom made Harley even more restless. She picked up the remote control and kept changing channels, trying to distract herself, but to little avail. Her eyes were unconsciously attracted by a detail outside the bathroom door. Next to the door, there was a clothes basket with clothes that Poison Ivy and Xiao Xian had just taken off randomly piled in it.

She realized that the two of them had left their clothes behind when they entered the bathroom, and this discovery made Harry's heart beat faster.

Harry bit his lower lip, his mind was torn between his conscience and his desires. Reason told him that this was wrong, but the strong excitement and stimulation made him want to find out more. Especially when he recalled the magnificent scene he saw in the morning, his interest was aroused even more.

Harry looked around to make sure no one was watching her. The sound of running water and laughter from the bathroom masked the sound of her getting up.

Harry tiptoed towards the changing basket, her heart beating fast. She stretched out her shaking hand and gently touched the clothes in the basket. The charming morning fragrance was more obvious at a close distance, which made Harry swallow his saliva.

In the end, Harley couldn't resist the urge and picked up one of the clothes.
