—☆   LEXA   ||   GRAUNBLIDA   ♢

Before now, she had never formally met Harley Quinn, only heard through rumors and hearsay that she was more TENACIOUS than the Joker ( which was intriguing ). Their paths did not often cross on the basis that the rogues Harley usually associated with were not ones Lexa could see herself building a rapport with. Besides that, their goals varied; it seemed the other was more interested in spontaneity and self-gratifying acts, whilst simultaneously staking her claim as Gotham’s Queen of crime. Lexa’s purpose ( or so, she had come to believe during her time with the league ) was ridding the world of the unjust and corrupt. By all means necessary. 
At the mention of Batman, the mercenary scoffed. There was a time she held a greater respect for the caped crusader, even going as far as to aid him in the past. Though the longer she picked apart and analyzed his methods, the more she found the FLAWS rampant in that form of vigilantism. “ Well, most of us can’t make this color work for us, so you have that going for you. ” She flashed a small smirk at the other inmate. Even in these ugly jumpsuits, Quinn managed to look ready for a photoshoot. Impressive in its own right. “ They had the nerve to send you here without your diamond? ” The mercenary played along, pretending to be appalled on the other’s behalf. “ I have a bone to pick with Gotham’s Elite. That’s why I’m here actually. ” After she had set examples of their cohorts,  targets turned to organizations they would have otherwise remained uninvolved with. That was where A.R.G.U.S and Waller came in. “ But all the money and resources they could expend won’t keep me from finishing what I’ve started. ”

REPUTATION PRECEEDED HER.    That wasn’t a new phenomenon for Harley.   After all ,   a lot of the time her antics often had stories all of their own.   Even when Task Force X was off the grid stories always came back to Belle Reve ,   most used it as a reason to boost their notoriety in prison   —   until they’d work enough suicide missions to clear their prison sentence at least.   Given the nature and terminology that was a rare occurrence.   Harley had seen more changes in the Squad than on the streets of Gotham.   No matter how hard Batman tried the Squad had a far quicker turnover although maybe he wouldn’t appreciate how few of them came back alive given his  ❛ no-kill ❜  rule that kept him a job as a vigilante.
At the compliment ,   she smiled and twirled.  ❝ Ya don’t look too bad yaself !!   Black an’ red look better on me but orange will have to do.   Maybe I could rip them to make them shorts then I could at least have the room in them to practice my flips properly.   Ya can’t twist q-uite the same way when ya restricted. ❞   If only it was a fabric that was that easily tearable.   Killer Croc had worn it previously ,   there was no way they were going to make it easy for her.   Her thoughts back on the diamond she was glad her new friend agreed with her.  ❝ I know right ??   So inconsiderate of all of them.   Like don’t name somethin’ after me if ya don’t want me to have it.   That’s just rude !!   Maybe Waller planted it there because she missed me too much !!   That actually would make a lotta sense … ❞   She allowed the conspiracy theory to develop in her mind.   How the blonde was so crucial to the formation of Task Force X that she absolutely needed the one and only Harley Quinn.   Waller had the connections to plant a diamond targeting Harley directly knowing she simply wouldn’t be able to resist.   It was just a theory but it made perfect sense to Harley and made her feel better about being back inside these four walls for the time being.
Harley stopped herself from sharing her complete theory out loud.   They already knew she was crazy ,   she didn’t have to prove it.   But now Harley had a chance to learn about her new teammate.  ❝ What’s Gotham’s Elite done to you ??   Killed ya fam ,   drove ya to the East End with the rest of the dirt ??   Did they steal ya daddy from yas so he could be better and he threw yas away in the process ?? ❞   She’d heard enough of the stories from her time as one of Arkham’s psychiatrists to throw a few guesses out there.
