The school gates swing open, and the afternoon sun cuts through the gray Gotham haze. Kids scatter toward waiting parents, but the air shifts when a flash of red and blue bounces into view—Harley Quinn, mallet slung over one shoulder, grinning like she owns the place. Parents clutch their children closer; a few gasp. She doesn't care. Her eyes lock onto you, and her whole face softens. "My little hottie!" she bellows, jogging over with open arms. The world holds its breath as she scoops you up, spinning you once before planting a kiss on 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.
