Quiet fills the cave as Bruce hangs up his call to Zatanna. It wasn't good news, though it definitely could have been worse also. While the kid who's uncontrolled magic had been caught and sorted the various effects of their magic were going to linger for up to a week.

Harley lays stomach down on a medical gurney, idly twirling a lock of pale blonde hair around a clawed finger. Bright red, white and black stripes adorn her figure, spines and fins laying flat against her tail that slaps rhythmically against the bed.

Bruce doesn't know if there is symbolism intended from the various transformations performed tonight but a lion fish seems to perfectly sum up how he sees Harley. Beautiful and deadly.

"We should move you into the pool."

Harley startles from where she had clearly been lost in thought. She gives a strained smile while saying, "nope. I'm good here, thanks."

"If you're worried about cleanliness it has a state of the art filtration system--"

"No, uh, maybe just a tub instead?" Harley asks hopefully.

Bruce frowns. Harley shifts, turning to sit on the edge of the gurney. She's fidgety, not uncommon but this has a nervous energy to it.

"It's going to be up to a week, I don't think you'll be comfortable staying in a tub," Bruce says slowly, mind turning over Harley's reluctance in his head. If she didn't want to stay in the cave, perhaps somewhere else would be better. "I could talk to Arthur maybe and arrange something in Atlantis."

"No!" Harley exclaims. "I mean, no. No, I'd- Ugh. I just."

She squirms more, struggling to express herself and takes a deep breath, "I don't like being submerged in water."

Oh.

Of course.

Being underwater would remind her of The Joker.

"I know it's dumb, it was years ago! But I never really had to, y'know, go swimmin' since."

Bruce reaches out, gently cupping Harley's face in his hand.

"It's not dumb, I understand."

She looks up at him with watery blue eyes and a thin smile.

"Maybe if you've got a bat-thing suit around I'd feel better if you could join me?"

Bruce chuckles, placing a kiss to the crown of Harley's head.

"I could get the bat-speedo out, I suppose."

Author's notes/rambling: i know a lot of people probably would assign harley clownfish but i feel like lion fish is a much better match for her. their beauty and deadliness just seems perfect.

then i also thought, getting submerged in the same gotham goop that the joker did could leave a lasting impression. so i just went with that lmao. anyway hope u enjoyed! have a great night everyone <3

whatever you do, don't think about codeflippa never experiencing physical affection (be that in the revolution, where she's just an agent, or before that, where she was at best a test subject), and then going on this mission to recruit a grieving dad and suddenly getting hugged like, every 5 minutes.

Don't think about her being surprised at what's happening (because what the hell is this strange arm-wrap pose??), but having these warm arms around her...she can't quite place it, but she feels safe and comfortable, and it's new but it feels nice.

Don't think about her trying her best to mimic this behaviour, trying to fit in because this man hugs a lot and that's obviously normal for him, and throwing her arms stiffly around her 'dad'. She let's him know she's trying to hug him, but he already knows. He already loves her, after all.

Don't think about her continuing to hug him, and at first she tells herself it's just to play the role, that this is likely what his original daughter would have done and that's the only reason why she keeps doing it.

But then there's a skydiving accident, and he vanishes for just a second. And for that second she panics, thinking he's truly gone, her mind fizzing and her breaths short, and when he reappears - before she can even think - she's gripping his leg, hugging him tightly as if to beg him never to leave again. And he hugs her back, smiles, holds her hand and takes her home.

She tries to pretend the fear is from a photo they found earlier, and maybe it is a little bit. But more than she'll admit to herself, she's scared of losing this man, losing her dad and the safety she feels with him.

"I love you dad, please please never forget that"

That night she dreams fitfully, but every time she wakes she finds him sleeping beside her bed, and she finds that holding his hand is the only way to calm her mind enough to fall back asleep.

Don't think about this little girl, who has finally felt what having a family is like, looking up at her dad and realising his body is deteriorating. But only where she held his hand, only where she hugged him.

And telling herself that it's her fault for daring to believe she belonged in a loving family.

Thinking thoughts about those from Cuivienen and how they later treated the Valar, especially after Cuivienen was destroyed.

I imagine a foundation of sorrow and a layer of betrayal and pettiness. They had promised safety. And how did it turn out? Kin of Tata and Tatie their first leaders, slain in Valinor by the Dark Hunter from which the Valar promised protection in Valinor.

And then, the War of Wrath comes and with it the destruction of Cuivienen.

If any of those were re-embodied in Aman, I wonder if they make it a point to always turn their back to Valar and Maiar. I wonder if they only speak in the tongue they had first devised all those millennia ago and spoke in Cuivienen before time and different kindreds changed the tongue, not Sindarin or Quenya from the Great Journey's time or later. I wonder if they sing songs in their ancient tongue, songs about the beauty and unsullied health of Cuivienen every time any of the Ainur are near.

I wonder if the Valar feel any shame when those who they once looked upon in wonder and love gaze back at them with indifference or disgust.

i think when the doctor says stuff that contradicts their own life like "ive never been this far out" it's not lying or poor continuity, i think it's just memory

the more I listen to new audios with Braxiatel in them (and relisten to old ones) as part of the Year of Braxiatel, the more and more I am just genuinely unsure of what I think about him.
