[ Harley whined when he got out of bed and shoved her head under a pillow in protest of daylight existing. She forced herself up after a few minutes of nobody cuddling her and whined again, louder, just in case that fixed it. When nothing was magically changed she got out of bed and stumbled to the shower where the water helped wake her up.
Once she felt fresh, she pulled on her dress and went to find him downstairs. Her hair was still damp and her face clean of garish makeup. She wore bite marks around her collarbone like a necklace. ]
[ He had only just finished pouring two cups of coffee, one in a black mug that proclaimed 'tears of my students' the other one purple with a jack-o-lantern face on it. He was only in his jeans, his skin nice and marked up.
His eyes widened as he held the orange cup her.]
Mornin' beautiful. I was 'bout to try and wake you up. [ His eyes taking in the bruises sure, but he'd never seen her without make up before. Something about that made their relationship really seem real suddenly.]
[ She took the cup in one hand and put her other hand on his hip to slide it up his side. She needed to touch him to assure herself he was still here, that this was a real thing. ]
How are you feeling? Last night was a workout.
[ Even Harley was sore, but in a yummy satisfied way. She could still feel the tingle in her thighs when she thought about last night. ]
Do you remember any of what happened after you went to sleep?
[ Unlike Scarecrow, Jon didn't jolt or giggle. Somehow he wasn't ticklish like Scarecrow was. Though he did keep that rare content look on his features. The night before had helped him unwind, while part of him had ideas to work on the toxin for, the smart part of him knew the basement was off limits right now. ]
Mmmhmm, hadn't realized how much. Feel like I've been running.
[ Stepping closer he pressed his lips to her forehead, before taking a drink of his coffee. ]
...After I went to sleep? [ His eyes went wide then as he looked at her concerned. ] He came out?
[ She closed her eyes and hummed in contentment as he kissed her forehead, and leaned against the counter. She sipped the coffee before nodding and trailing her fingers over the marks Scarecrow left. ]
[ Looking at the mark as she trailed her fingers over it. Another drink taken from his coffee as he looked a little concerned. Strange to feel jealous over part of himself, and yet he did. It was an issue he would have to fight with Scarecrow over not her. ]
I don't know what to say to that, I feel like I should apologize but, you seem pleased. Scarecrow tends to never mind his manners, it is why I actually take the medication Leland prescribed.
[ He changed the dose himself since he liked to be able to hear Scarecrow.]
About that. [ She set her cup down and hopped up on the counter for a seat, swinging her legs. ] Scarecrow asked me to dump out your meds. Among some other things. I think he knows better now.
He called you... [ Oh yes, Scarecrow's getting yelled at when Jonathan gets some time alone. Probably when he goes out to smoke later, he usually does so inside, but not with company. ] Of course, he is darlin', I don't allow him the chance. I guess that is why my back feels like it's on fire?
[ Those scratches stung, at least scars from her would be better than the scars of his youth. ]
Yeah, a bit, but that's my problem, and one that would have to come up in time anyway.
[ Two people in one body, it would either end well or not.]
[ He hadn't expected it, but he should have. Kissing her in return, he didn't try to pull away, simply gave her a content look. Much better than his normal disinterest most get.]
Well, one less thing to worry about. Next time will be better anyway.
[ He's still a little embarrassed he got off before her.]
Then I'll see you tonight! Hopefully a lot of you tonight. [ Harley's sex drive might be what finally killed him after surviving years of Batman fights and inter-rogue wars. ] Ooh, I'll bring dinner. Do you like Thai food?
[ Yep, her sex drive was going to be what kills him. Lifting his coffee again, he tried not to look flustered and yet, he did. He needed to find a test subject soon. ]
I will see you then, as for Thai, I don't dislike it. I'm not fussy, anything will do.
It's a date. [ She gave him a quick swat on the rear and swooped in for one more kiss. ] Bye bye, boyfriend. [ The last word in sing-song. Boy, that was fun to say. ]
[ He went a little wide eyed at the swat, but did nothing beyond returning the kiss, and giving a small wave. Yeah, it was lab time. Refilling his coffee he moved quickly to the basement door to get to work.]

It was fun, once he started minding his manners.

[ He looked cross hearing it, another drink taken. As he nodded. ]
Thank you for handling that. Do I want to know what the other things he asked about are?

[ It took one hell of a woman to boss Scarecrow around. She reached out to smooth her fingers over his hair with a fond smile. ]
You're not jealous, are you?

I'll have to start bringing Bruce with me if these sleepovers are gonna be a regular thing.
no subject
That's fine, as long as he doesn't hurt the bird's I don't mind at all.
[ Sure, he didn't know a lot about hyenas, but he'd learn. He did love learning new things.]
I'm not always here, but you are always welcome.
[ He moved then to look in the fridge to see if he had anything at all he could offer. A busy night and all, he was actually hungry.]
no subject
[ She kissed him again, because he was here. Because she could. ]
I should go take care of him. But maybe I could come back later, after you get some work done? And maybe stay the night again?
[ Yeah, she knows where his heart really lies. ]
no subject
[ Closing the fridge, he kissed her back. He could easily get used to that. ]
That sounds like a wonderful plan. I do have a bit of work to finish, but I will keep tonight free for you.
[ They both knew the work will always come first.]
