Heâd been hopeful that maybe he could distract Harley but itâs clear that she has her sights set on the billionaire. So, he retracts his hand, holding both of them up in surrender, âsorry, Ms.Quinn,â he glances at Bridget once more and takes a step back. âI can see you have business with Ms.Wayne so Iâll go and not bother you anymore, yeah?â
Clark is going slow with his backing up. If Bridget wanted him to swoop in then he would, but he didnât want to step on her toes since Gotham was her city. He just needed to get out of here without her shooting him, because him being shot and unbothered by it would definitely raise some red flags.
As soon as heâs far enough away he actually turns to walk down the stairs. Harley seems satisfied with him leaving so heâll go. As soon as he hits the stairs he takes off running, making it down a couple flights before he finds a window he can open up to get out of the building.
Bridget feels the tension in Harleyâs body pressed against her as Clark leaves. She can feel the way Harley is questioning the decision of letting him go and the last thing Bridget needs is for Harley to flip the gun onto Clark instead so she purposefully squirms in Harleyâs grip, distracting her just enough until Clark disappears.
âNo squirming, Bridgie! Not unless ya want a bullet in ya head!â Harley snaps, gripping onto Bridget tightly. For as annoyed as she is with Clark fleeing, she still has Bridget and sheâs the money maker here.
âWhy are you, ngh, doing this?â Bridget grunts a little, feeling great discomfort with the way Harley. âYou were recuperating. Finally free of Jokerâs influence.â
âThatâs right! And I recognise how much of a dirtbag that asswipe was to me. So what better way to get under his skin than to kidnap the one person other than the Bat heâs so clearly obsessed with. You!â She responds with a cackle.
Bridget grimaces in response, recognising that the only way this ends is with a likely all out war between Joker and Harley and sheâs not sure Gotham can survive that which means nipping this in the bud as soon as possible. âAny time now, boy scout...â She mutters under her breath that not even Harley can hear, but probably a certain Kryptonian would.
