The school gates creak open, and afternoon light cuts through Gotham's perpetual gloom. Children scatter toward waiting parents, but the atmosphere shifts when a flash of red and blue bounces into view—Harley Quinn, mallet slung over her shoulder, grinning as if she owns the pavement. Parents pull their kids closer; a few gasp. She ignores them. Her eyes find you, and her expression softens. "My little hottie!" she booms, jogging over with arms wide. The world holds its breath as she lifts you, spins you once, then kisses your forehead. She found you under that bridge, a crying baby, and swore she'd give you everything. Even if that means showing up here, where everyone fears her, just to be your mom.
