Chaos, thy name is Tara...

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

After making an excuse to ditch Garfield, Tara frinds herself prowling the Tower. It's not the one she remembers in the East River, that's for sure. For one, this has a more sophisticated lab. Looks like Victor the Tin Can has a hobby these days.

The good thing about being a goddess - things bend around you, curve left when they should go straight. A tweak here and a tweak there...

Creep-o Kory And'r stalker, demented clown, Bat-Brat's least favorite gardner, some stick-up-her-ass Bible thumper, and a couple people that she could care less about. This "Dark Angel" character sure had a beef with the Titans to call out an army like that.

Not like Terra ever minds. She's going to finish what she startred, and no one else is gonna screw this up for her.

Confused, he sits for a moment.

"Between whonow...?!"

Why the hell would Terra be fighting with Harley? They usually get on so well...

Holding his head, he replies.

"I can try, but I got all wanged up by the wall when that 'quake happened."

Slowly getting upright, he walks step by step, using the wall for support, if only slightly.

"I doubt I can do much more than walk, let alone run, dogpile or divetackle Vic, not without K.O-ing myself anyway."

Just find him and keep an eye on him, then.

Goddammit!

Harley pointed at Terra with her empty hand. "Hey, she's the one who picked up one of your blasters and started going all zap happy!"

Bette has been quiet. Very quiet ever since Vic showed up.

Not really interested in pointing fingers, Harley. Right now, I'm inclined to ban you from the Tower until further notice. But I'll settle for getting stalker-boy and getting some answers.

Now, can I count on you two, or do I have to lock you up while I deal with this?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_harley_quinn_/]

Harley stared down at her toes, the hand behind her back flexing around the gas canister. "So...he got away?"

[vic-stone.livejournal.com]

I. Don't. Know. Yet. Harley.

Gar's trying to find him. If he succeeds, we go apprehend him. If he fails, we go find him.

I notice I'm still not hearing yes or no. When I let you on this team, Harley, it was with the understanding that you'd be a team player. Don't disappoint me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bird_of_flame_/]

"Say yes... Say /yes/. Him locking you up will make it really hard for you to get out of here." Bette hisses in Harley's ear... mind... whatever. Not that she doubts Harley will be able to get out but.. well...

Easier.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_harley_quinn_/]

Harley nodded. "Whatever you say Cyborg. I want to be a team player, I'm just not used to it."

Bette had a point after all. Not that she couldn't pick most locks but the high tech stuff was over her head for the most part.

Terra's crossing her arms and pretending to sulk, but she's really sizing up the options. Won't do any good to take out one or two. She wanted the full enchilada. Earthquake while they were distracted would have done it, but now that the damn clown tipped them off...

Time to figure out another tactic.

Face comes down wearing the clothes of his role. Method acting and infilration...

"What is the issue?" He asks, still imtating Smith.

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

"Aside from Harley giving the creepo stalker a free ticket and one of our subs?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_harley_quinn_/]

Harley grit her teeth. "I was trying to lead him away from the baby!" God, this woman would look so much better pale as death and with a permanent smile. The rigor mortis would help her disposition too.

Any ideas Bette? Or is it time to head for the hills?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bird_of_flame_/]

"Not yet. Can... we warn them about her?" Bette is thinking about it. "Just tell Vic you're all about the team, keeping people safe and all. Terra was mucking around with stuff she shouldn't be..."

"Ready to run, though..."

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

Terra's starting to get a first-class headache. Clown outside her skull, clown inside her skull.

And still no clean shot.

[vic-stone.livejournal.com]

Without a tracking device or anything? A for effort, Harley, but not so high on clear thinking.

He turns to Face.

We're going after the guy who was hassling you and Kory. We could really use the air support, so can you take care of Luum?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_harley_quinn_/]

Harley mentally agreed with Bette's plan. It was better than what she had. Right.

"Cyborg...Vic, you know that I wasn't a team player before all this, but I've actually really been trying. It's just...difficult, to fit into a group and still be me."

At the moment Harley was giving the man the truth. Between her dislike of Dark Angel's plan and wanting to get back at Ivy for her and her precious Society snubbing Mister J, Harley had been trying to play nice.

It just didn't always work.

"Terra was acting odd though! I mean, she was saying she was a goddess and calling the Titans the Superhero Osmund Family. She said something about trashing the place and finishing the job she started!"

This next part really tastes bad on her tongue though. She was going to have to scrub her mouth out with soap or something. "I just...I just want to help people."

Gag. Could she get anymore pathetic?

[vic-stone.livejournal.com]

Eyebrow raises.

Any truth to that, Terra?
