When you talk to Harley Quinn: crazy, restless and unpredictable clown, you forget about her other personality - a world-famous psychologist. Without a doubt, one can say that she is one of the most outstanding personalities in this profession.
Even despite her current state. Although she has turned into a crazy clown, her inner psychologist has not gone anywhere. She still continues to consider the local inhabitants her patients. I suppose that is why she has so much freedom here.
When I met the Joker,he was wearing a straitjacket, but Quinn escaped the procedure. It seems that her personality is highly trusted here. Heh, today I didn't come here to see just one of her specific personalities, I need help from both of them.
"Harley, today I had plans to visit three people in this hospital. First, I met with the Joker, and I returned the favor."
"Did you write a book?"
"Yes, it's called "A Clockwork Orange", here," I took out a copy of the book. "You can read it at your leisure."
"Wow, I'll definitely read it," jumping down from the swing, she accepted the gift with a beaming face. "The second person I visited was you, Harley."
"Oh, Alex, I'm so flattered, let me hug you," she rushed at me with her arms outstretched, and I skillfully stepped aside.
"Hey!"
"The last person I intend to visit today after you is your friend, Pamela Isley."
"Ivy?" The clown was genuinely surprised. "Why are you looking for her?"
"I'm working on a project that is extremely important to me. And I really need her knowledge in the field of botany."
"You want to enlist her support? This is stupid, Alex," the atmosphere around her became more serious. "She will not listen to you, much less help. A lot of bad things have happened in her life, even I would not envy her fate. All these moments of the past, tragic incidents and cruel twists of fate have formed an extremely contradictory personality inside her. And one of the sides of her character is that she cannot stand men. She has a sad experience with them."
"Harley, I'll be honest with you... I intend to help Pamela, show her the way, and push her towards the light. I want to bring hope back into her heart. She wants to help the environment, protect her children, that's what she says, right? But she's the one who's destroying them. Her actions are devoid of logic and common sense. I want to show her exactly how to do what she's spending her life on. She's your friend, after all, and I'm asking you... Will you help me with this?"
"Alex, I'm a villain, and my friend is a villain too, and you're asking me to help you bring kindness back to Ivy's heart? Don't you think that's a little wrong? I think you should have first set me on the right path, that is, towards the light, so that I could help you later. Otherwise, it just doesn't make any sense. And then, even if she miraculously agrees, she's a patient in this prison - Arkham Asylum."
"It's not a problem, if she agrees, I'll get her out of here."
"Uh, how is that possible? Where did you get such power?" Quinzel said with obvious distrust.
"I have very influential friends," I gave a mysterious smile.
"So you intend to get Ivy out, but not me?" the girl turned away, showing offense.
"Harley, if you stop being a villain and become a good person, then you too can leave these squeezing walls."
"Hm, well, since you and I are now a couple in love, I'll be good," she answered as if she was just going to change the glove.
"So, when can you get me out of here?"
"Unfortunately, at the moment I only have carte blanche to release Isley. However, can't you get out of here yourself, psychological genius Harleen Quinzel? You just need to convince the others that you have cured your madness, and they will let you go. I'll make sure of that."
"I always get the hardest ones," the girl drooped. "Oh well, it's no problem for me. Wait for me, Alex, I'll get out of here and we'll go on a date. Oh, I'm looking forward to it. Well, since I'm on the good side now, I should help you convince Ivy."
"So, do you have any ideas?"
"I can put in a few words when I visit her."
"So can you communicate with each other?"
"Yes, sometimes we are allowed to visit."
"Have you been allowed to visit the Joker?"
"No, Mr. J is a special case. Everyone is firmly convinced that he is too dangerous, and that's why he almost never has visitors. Although Batman sometimes drops by when he wants to make sure that J is still here. So, Alex, what is this project that needs Ivy's help?" Quinn asked with childish curiosity.
"It's a secret."
"What? What other secret? How can you keep secrets from me, your girlfriend?"
Yeah, we've only been officially a couple for an hour, and she's acting so indignant as if she's known me for years. I think right now it's best to keep quiet about the fact that I have other girlfriends. My gut tells me that now is not the best time for that.
I still have to help Harley and destroy all the virus in her head that the Joker managed to infect her with. Because even now, he has a very strong control over her. No problem, I'll fill her vessel so that all her affection for the Joker will flow out from the edges and eventually there will be no trace left of her. And again, I sincerely hope that after this, the Joker will not kill me.
He always didn't give a damn about his assistant, maybe he will even bless us... With a couple of laughing gas bombs, yeah.
"Don't be mad, Harley. Listen, I have a great job for you in my company. When you get out of here, you can start all over again."
"He-he-ha, okay, it doesn't matter what kind of job it will be, as long as I can help my hero, I will be happy."
It seems that she really gives all of herself to the man she loves. But I'm not going to use her like the Joker, for me, first of all, it is important that she does not get bored, and is full of fun and joy like now.
"Look, Alex," the serious psychologist mode turned on again. "Ivy is a very complex person, even more complex than I am. She is obsessed with plants, botany and ecology, and this is not just some kind of psychological trauma, it is something more, it is a genetic code. No matter what words you use, you will not be able to deprive her of this obsession. So, do not even think about convincing Ivy about her motives. For her, all these plants are children. And as a mother, she will never stop protecting them. Remember this when you talk to her. You will not be able to somehow radically change her thinking, her goals. The only thing you can do is slightly push her in the other direction, and choose other ways to achieve her goals. I'm afraid this is the only way to help Ivy become good not only in words, but also in the eyes of the public."
'I understand, thank you, Harley. You are the best psychologist in the world," I hugged the girl and kissed her temple. Having discussed a few more details, I finally said goodbye to the laughing clown.
She assured me that she would do her best and get out of here as soon as possible. I can't wait for that... I think I will return to this creepy hospital more than once in the future. Oh well, it's time for the last visit for today.
The battle has just begun..
