Would've looked cooler if it'd killed her-- she's not my girlfriendnomaly!!!

[ And yet; ]

Dunno, actually. Vicious ones, yeah. But the rest?

[ He sort of jolts one shoulder in a shrug. Oh no guess he wants to keep girlfriendnomaly around who's going for disaster boyfriend of the year? ]

[clowngirl]

[He can yell all he wants, she's totally ignoring that insistence.]

Yeah. That's what I been thinkin'... You didn't happen to see somethin' out there that looks like me, have ya?

[sharktrash]

[ damn it ]

[ he thinks for a moment, then shakes his head. ]

Don't think so, no. Have you?

[clowngirl]

Nuh-uh. But I think I'm gonna go lookin', especially if folks are tryin' to lock up these doppelgangers. If she exists, I wanna be the one who decides if another me is dangerous.

[sharktrash]

Hey, good call. [ He seems to really think so. Why would anyone else get to decide what to do with them? ] What if she's one of those -- that's basically you? Just, y'know, not as good looking.

[ And that alone isn't enough reason to lock someone up. Unfortunately. ]

[clowngirl]

Then we're a duo, so far as I'm concerned. And no one's gonna break up the act by lockin' up the less attractive Quinn. I'll make sure of it.

[sharktrash]

Just don't go right for hugging her right as you meet. They're all dangerous, though some of 'em by accident.

[ He vaguely motions at his bandages. He's not angry at Angelnomaly -- hell, she's done a good job of not really harming him for days - but it's a fact. ]

[clowngirl]

No cuddlin', got it.

[She pauses for a moment, suddenly remembering something.] Y'know, it wouldn't even be the first time I met a doomed, imperfect copy of myself... [There was that time when Bizarro tried to make a Bizarro!Harley to be his bride. Boy, what a mess that turned out to be.] I hope whatever Miller does next will at least be unique.

[sharktrash]

[ Normally Squalo wouldn't care all that much, but entertainment's scarce nowadays. He perks up and raises an eyebrow at her. ]

Do you mean here? Or... before that?

[clowngirl]

Oh, before. Back when I was layin' low in Metropolis. You ever heard'a Bizarro Superman?

[sharktrash]

I don't think I've heard of most things from your world.

[ Superman just might exist as a franchise in his, though. We just don't know. ]

[clowngirl]

[She can work with that. Story time!]

Ok, so there's this superhero shmuck where I come from named Superman. Real original name, right? Well, anyhoo, somebody tried to clone him once-- big mistake. All the superpowers, none of the brains, kinda chalky lookin', cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, talks and does everything backwards. Actually, kind of an improvement now that I think of it.

Of course, this Bizarro Superman falls in love with yours truly. Not bein' the kind to accept... or understand... rejection, Biz tries to make his own imperfect Harley Quinn clone to take as a bride.

Well, after a useful round of kidnappin', Bizarro Harley comes out of the clonin' whatsit perfectly flawed and an absolute buzzkill. Things don't go so smoothly between her and Biz but before he even can run for the hills, Bizarro Harley literally explodes on account of clonin' weirdoes is still an imperfect science.

Hopefully Miller's clone is less annoyin'... and less explodey.

[sharktrash]

[ his expression sort of varies between solemn interest and squinty "are you fucking kidding me" until she's done and ]

Going out with a bang, huh.

[ yeah ]

All of that sounds like a waste. Should've made them fight each other.

[clowngirl]

Boom.

I almost fought her. She totally got on my case about my relationship with Mr. J when I had been an independent woman for like weeks on my own. Judgey.

[sharktrash]

[ he's getting a little offended on her behalf here. ]

Why the fuck would she do that?

[clowngirl]

I guess ev'rybody's got their two cents.

[sharktrash]

[ squinty eye of suspicion ]

Is that, like... bizarro feminism?

[ OH BOY, ]

[clowngirl]

I... guess? [Listen, Harley isn't exactly writing the book on feminism anytime soon.]

[sharktrash]

Gross. Good riddance.

[ He shifts to get more comfortable, grimacing slightly as the crystal stab wounds get jostled. At least it sounds like he's not the only one with freaky not-quite-fans? ]
