she snickered softly and shook her head.
โnot goinโ soft. just had to say it. doubt you hear that often.โ she said, face turning back to the sunshine.
โ glass and raised it to his own lips for a sip. Slowly, he swallowed the strong liquor and cleared his throat.
โDare I ask who your father was? Or do ya got daddy issues ya donโt wanna talk about?โ
In most instances, Dubois wouldโve said no. He wasnโt a team player, he didnโt do team-ups. Certainly didnโt want a sidekick or a partner.
But she seemed different. And maybe being on the Suicide Squad changed him.
โIโm gonna keep ya to that.โ
Reaching down, he took his โ
The smile that came from him caused her to mirror it instantly. She thought heโd tell her โnoโ, but the fact that he would allow her to tag along pleased her. At least she didnโt have to pop in without an invitation this time.
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โTrust me, I wonโt -
โ killer. Dangerous.
Eventually, his lips curled into a smirk as he nodded. โSure. Ya can tag along if ya like. Just donโt get in my way and fuck it up.โ
โItโs pretty useful. Especially in a bind. I can see why your father wanted it.โ
Maybe not a good time to add that. But the mercenary sensed something in her. A fire, similar to the one his old man set in him.
Cold eyes stared at hers, reading her. She was a survivor. A โ

she clicked her tongue and smiled at the other, "Thank you, Robert... that really means the world to me." she hummed softly.

โNot me. Ya arenโt replaceable to me,โ he told her, and he was serious in that moment. He almost always was, but in this moment โฆ
He cared for Harley. And he didnโt want her to feel unappreciated.
"This may be a little too deep, but one thing I've learned about livin' here in Belle Reeve is that I'm replaceable to everyone except Waller. Which I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing." she laughed.

โI know,โ he said softly, nodding his head. โI know.โ
"Thing is? I never really killed unless I had to. And I know, I know, I've killed a lotta people, but...it was them or me. And Mistah J wouldn't have hesitated..." she muttered.
Harley smiled and she lifted her head to the sky, eyes fluttering shut as she soaked in the warmth.
โthey donโt let me outside oftenโฆprobably think iโm gunna jump over the fence or somethinโ even though i cannot jump that high.โ

"See why I wanted to come out here?" she giggled.
