Jackie Estacado	It's late tonight, not too far after midnight, but Jackie has just taken Harley to one of his favorite family run Italian Restaurants. It was a small hole in the wall joint but they have the best eggplant and chicken parmigiana he's ever had. "I wasn't sure if you liked Italian, but the family is good people. I've known them for a long time and any chance I can get to visit I usually try to stop by." He explains to her, "Plus it's a place protected by the Family, so they have all kinds come through, and are great at keeping our business to themselves." After the dinner, Jackie said he wanted to go for a walk which wasn't too far form the Italian place. As he's walking through Saint Mary's Park, he tells Harley, "I find this area to be a good place to clear my head. Not many people come through this neighborhood at night, but the Park is nice. Figured you know the area better than I do,.." He shrugs a shoulder, "...but the less people the less chance for us to get bothered give your Infamy." However, from the nearby church there are eyes that watch the two, and they are probably not friendly. After a brief moment the eyes disappear, and the softest footfalls are heard moving through the Church.
Harley Quinn	Harley's watching out carefully around them. However, whichever eyes may have been watching are lost on her. The night seems quiet, which is a relief to her as she leans in to nudge Jackie as they walk. "It's all right, you can admit yer intimidated by my fame and prestieeeege," she teases. "But to be honest, it's kinda nice to go someplace quiet, where I don't feel like I'm bein' watched all the time."
Jackie Estacado	"Glad that you felt relaxed there..." Jackie smiles at the nudge, "...that's the point of a place like that. I know a lot of do-gooders may give people a hard time, but as long as no one is busting up the place it's good for a quiet evening." The eyes are lost on Jackie as well, and he looks up at the sky where the moon sits in the sky. "I'm finding that I like this time of night the most. Quiet. Peaceful. Not something that I think either of us get very often..." Then out of the shadow of a tree can be heard *Yeah Boss, we need more quiet!* a high pitched raspy voice followed quickly by *SShhh. You're ruinin' the ambulance* With a quick retort *It's not AMBULANCE, Idiot* Jackie shakes his head, "Well, maybe I won't get that much quiet any more..." For the most sensitive of ears they may make out the nearly silent footfalls in the woods coming from the back of the Church. They aren't approaching just yet, but there are definitely more than one individual moving around.
Harley Quinn	Giggling at the darklings in the shadows, Harley looks up at Jackie. "Aww, c'mon Boss, they're kinda cute. I mean, in that 'booger-eating moron,' kinda way. Poor guys probably didn't get a proper education." Just then, one of the darklings breaks wind, and the whole gaggle falls apart, rolling on the grass and giggling. Harley pinches her nose and peers toward the writhing mass. "Weeeaksauce. Go someplace else to do that, Spiderfart." And so the second of the Darklings has been named.
Jackie Estacado	Jackie coughs, "Jesus Christ..." He growls, waving a hand in front of his face, "...No more of whatever the hell you're eating.." Once he's distanced himself enough from the Darklings, he tucks his hands in his pockets, "I need to figure out how to make them less stupid..." Then, materializing out of the gloom of the trees ahead, are four cloaked individuals, and they spread themselves across the path. One steps out, the cloak falling from her head, and close cropped blonde hair is seen "So, Demon Spawn, we catch up with you at last..." Now that they can be seen in the light of the moon they are all four obviously women. They wear dark cloaks with a golden cross as the clasp at their neck. Underneath they are dressed in tight fitting leathers with dagger bandoleers strapped across their chests. They look to be in their mid to late twenties, a Blonde, Brunette, Red and Black Haired. The Blonde turns to Harley "Leave us, Harlot. We will spare you tonight as we deal with this Spawn of Satan..." to which Jackie just shakes his head, "what the Fu... How do you psychos keep fiinding me?!"
Harley Quinn	Dressed in a tight-fitting, barely-there little black dress and stilettos, with a satin wrap, Harley steps in front of Jackie and drops her wrap. Beneath it in its leather sling, her bat hangs on Harley's back. She reaches over her shoulder to draw it out, and looks from one of the women to the next. "Nobody told me it was Slutty Nun Night. I got the slutty part handled, but you guys happen to have a spare cloak to help a sistah out?" She's got the bat up in a defensive stance, staring them down.
Jackie Estacado	The Brunette steps up, and yells "Die! Spawn of Evil!" and a Dagger comes flying, originally towards Jackie's face, but now at Harley's. He reaches through the shadows, and brings a Darkling in front of her... the dagger piercing it's mouth with a mystical light and sending the poor Darkling to the abyss. *OH MY GOD! They Killed Lenny!!" comes a rasp voice, with a another shouting *You Bastards!* The Blonde looks to Harley, saying "Fine. You align yourself with Evil Incarnate..." Then she looks to Jackie intoning, "Look Down, O' Lord from thy Heavenly Throne to Shower Us with thy Celestial Brightness and through The Daughters of Light, Banish the Deeds of the Darkness..." right then she gets hit with a small pile of shit right in the face "Ughhh.." *How's /that/ for a Shower?!* a new raspy voice calls out Harley will feel a breeze of cold, and she will hear Jackie's voice turn Dark, Cold, Devoid of Emotion ~You shouldn't have tried to hurt My Lady.~ As he steps up next to her he's covered in the armor of the Darkness, his face covered in the metallic half-face plate. His glowing green eyes looks to Harley, ~Looks like we will get some fun tonight after all. Bring some Heat to the Blood~ From behind them you hear more rustling, *Let's Party with the Slutty Nuns!!* and then right after *I have dibs on the Red Head!*
Harley Quinn	"Oooh, Baby. Keep that armour on for later, too." Harley winks and turns back to the slutty nuns. "All right, you with the red hair, step aside. Humperdink called dibs. It's outta my hands." She shrugs. "The rest of ya line up single file in an orderly fashion. It's Home Run Derby time..."
Jackie Estacado	In a rush the Slutty Nuns move forward to engage the two (or is it more like seventeen?!?) in combat. As they close they all draw various melee weapons, swords, daggers, staff, and hammer that seem to glow with an eerie light. The Black Haired woman with the staff moves to separate herself off to face Harley while the other three come at Jackie. ~You keep up that talk, and we might not make it out of the woods...~ Jackie replies with, although it's impossible to tell if he's smiling there is a level of mirth and flirtation in his voice. His fingers elongate into giant claws that glint in the moonlight, and his forearms sprout multiple spikes as he prepares for battle. Humperdink shouts *YEAH! Harley said I get the Red Head. It is now LAW!* The Black haired one closes with Harley, her staff expert in her hands, and twirls it in a professional manner, "Come then, Harlot of Evil, I will put you out of your misery..." first feinting an attack high, and then attempting to come in to sweep her legs out from underneath her. The Howls of the Darklings can be heard moving to help Jackie with the other three as they move to surround him.
Harley Quinn	Harley ducks, then jumps, avoiding the two attacks. "You think I can't fight in these heels?" She swings her bat level to block an incoming blow. "I wouldn'ta worn 'em if I couldn't." The steel stilettos glint in the darkness as her follow through brings one foot up, kicked high and aiming for the face of the slutty nun.
Jackie Estacado	Actually, the Black Haired Slutty Nun was /not/ expecting Harley to be able to fight in heels. That is even more evident when she takes a placed heal to the face that spins her around, and causes blood to fly from a busted lip. Harley might notice that the Nun is a little bit tougher than normal, but not incredibly tough. She spits a bit of blood from her mouth, and growls as she swings (a little slower, and likely wobbly from being kicked in the face). One end of the staff whirling for her head and the second moving in an uppercut like motion. Behind Harley there is a flash of bright white light, and a new voice yells "Defiler! Now by the Light of the Magdelne face the Sins of your Demonic Past!" accompanied by a grunt from Jackie and the pained howls of the Darklings. "Can you see them, Monster! Hear them?!" Comes the same voice. "How many CRY OUT to the Ruthless Killer who murdered them in cold blood? Low life ASSASSIN! You killed them for no better reason than your Superiors Ordered it!" THe glow brightens in it's intensity, and the sound of Jackie hitting the ground can be heard as she continues, "And now you are Tainted by a Dark Power that consumes /any/ soul you had left!" "Oh Shut up..." comes Jackie's voice, "and what exactly..." Pause to catch his breath "was /your/ job description? Which superior /ordered/ you to come assassinate me?.. someone you've never met... who's never met the guy you work for?"
Harley Quinn	"That's IT. I am TIRED of playing basebitch!" Harley dodges the punch drunk nun's swings, and swings the bat behind her back, only to come down over her head with a full-force swing aimed for the top of the nun's head. "Hold on Mista J--ackie. I'm comin'!" Whether or not the blow connects, Harley turns to look over her shoulder, trying to see who or what has Jackie on the ropes.
Jackie Estacado	The Black Haired Woman is about to get her staff up, but Harley blasts right through it with ease. The staff cracks, and then there's a *THUNK* as the bat hits the top of the woman's head. She falls like a piece of meat, no brain matter, but hard to tell if she's dead or not. When Harley turns, she see's the Red Haired woman with her hand, palm out, facing Jackie. From it comes the brightest white light she has ever seen. The light bathes over Jackie, leaving his armor smoking, and his metallic half-mask gone. The Darklings are nowhere in sight. It's obvious that this mystical light is causing him a large amount of pain. The other two women work to circle around him. "Blasphemer!" Shouts the Red Head, "By the Holy Light of God, I shall free you from the Darkness in your Soul." Her eyes take on a fanatical glint, "What noble cause do you serve? Your mobster family? Your own wicked lust, luring women into your sin?" Jackie laughs, "Oh Please... What you call Evil.." His head bowed in pain, "..I call Freedom of Choice. I don't force anyone to worship me.." with a small smile he adds, "and I left each of my women... plenty satisfied... can your Church Inquisition... say the same." His eyes raise to look them all in the face, "No matter how depraved you... think I am... Your hands are just as bloody... and it never washes out."
Harley Quinn	Harley doesn't wait to see if the others have noticed she's finished with her first playpretty. She also doesn't wait to find out if she can close the distance between herself and the redhead, and still land a blow. She reaches back over her shoulder again, to a holster beneath the bat's sling and pulls out her revolver thumbing back the hammer. She levels her aim directly at the face of the redhead. "Sorry Humperdink," she utters under her breath. And she takes the shot.
Jackie Estacado	"Silence!" The Red Hair screams, "Enough of your delusions. You are Evil Incarnate Jackie Estacado. Only in Death can you be saved. Sisters.." Then there's the barest hint of something off, and the Red Head ducks as the shot grazes her face. As she falls, the light still shines, but Jackie's voice takes on a stronger tone "You forget something, Sweetheart. Where there is Light there is Shadow, and Where there is Shadow..." and his voice takes on that odd sound ~There is Darkness.~ Her Light no longer directly on Jackie, he fades into the shadows around him, and a tentacles reaches out to snatch the Brunette off her feet The Darklings can be heard again, and the Blonde looks around in a bit of a panic. Next to Harley's ear she will feel a cold whisper ~Thanks Beautiful. You make all the difference~
Harley Quinn	Harley smiles with a chill that sends a shiver down her spine as she hears Jackie's voice in her ear. Smiling more confidently, she aims for the blonde, but lowers her revolver, then reholsters it. Too many shots in Gotham attract attention (sadly, it takes more than one). That's the last thing they need. Harley dashes up behind the blonde, takes a large last step, and transfers the motion to her bat as she swings for the fences--at the side of the woman's head.
Jackie Estacado	The blonde with the poop-face was not ready... the bat came from the poop side.. and the bat connects with another *THUNK*. Just like the last, she crumples to the ground, and doesn't move as the horde of Darklings come surging past Harley. In the lead, of course, is Humperdink *MINE MINE MINE!* is all that can be heard as he is the first to pile on top of the red head. Her screams muffled by the wave of small Dark figures. The Brunettee is wrapped on a tree with various tentacles of darkness, her own cries muffled by a tentacle around her face. Jackie, armored, steps out of the shadows next to Harley ~These are the Magdalena. Women, supposedly descended from Mary Magdalene, that the Church sends out to hunt 'Evil' in the world. This is my second dealings with them.~ Jackie looks to Harley, and asks ~Are you ok? You don't look hurt... still hot... not hurt, though.~ He watches as the Red Head is drug over to where the Brunette is tied up, ~Think I've got an idea for sending them a message.~
Harley Quinn	"I'm fine, Handsome. Piece o' cake." She looks back to the horde dragging the redhead over to the tree, and at Jackie's suggestion, a slow smile spreads across her face. "Oh really? I -do- like messages. And it sounds like somebody desperately needs one. Cause I'm not gonna stand by and let ANYBODY flash my man and get away with it."
Jackie Estacado	Over the next ten minutes, Jackie gathers up the four Slutty Nuns, and finds that they are all actually alive. ~Tough Broads~ Using their bandoleers of daggers, he puts each Magdalena up on her own tree... in a facsimile of the crucifixion. Once he's done, he says ~I'm guessing they have someone watching for them. They should be found before they die, but if they aren't...~ and he shrugs. Before he leaves, he carves into the ground below the four of them, a message that reads "DONT FUCK WITH THE DARKNESS" He slowly let's his armor dissipate into shadows, offers his arm to Harley, "Ready, My Lady? We still got a long night ahead of us..." The groans of the Slutty Nuns can be heard in the background. "...got to say. I really admire your stick work."
