WHO: Dr. Crane and Dr. Quinzel.
WHERE: The loveliest of French restaurants.
WHEN: Sunday night.
WARNINGS: idfk.
SUMMARY: Crane asks Harley out for dinner and she obliges.
FORMAT: Paragraph.

As the time drew nearer, Harley rushed through the house looking for something to wear. Everything did not look right. Either the dresses were too short or exposed or silly for her tastes. With a frustrated sigh, she put pieces together from her wardrobe as well as Pamela's to create something semi-respectable for her dinner with Dr. Crane.

They were colleagues before and after that, fellow rogues of the caped crusader, Batman. She respected him and he saw her as a doll in her own world, but this doctor was different. Refined, serious, and after knowledge--that Harley could still respect, but it would take a different Harleen Quinzel to earn his trust and attention. It was the old Harleen that caught him, and lucky for her, that would not be a problem to play out tonight.

Some may call it a date, but Harley saw it as an opportunity. Crane overseed her stay at the City Asylum before her poorly planned escape. He held the keys to her formal dismissal from the Asylum, and she planned on snatching them before the end of the night.

Dressed and her hair done up and her glasses temporarily abandoned, she waited by the door of her ivy-covered house.

He straightened his tie () before walking up the drive-way leading to the rather interestingly decorated house, and pulled his hand out of the pocket of his suit (http://z.about.com/d/mensfashion/1/0/n/e/AdrianBrodyMJKim.jpg) to knock gently on the door.

This...meeting of sorts would go all the better were Poison Ivy not present. He silently hoped -- nay, pleaded with whatever god watching over him that she was not.

He was in no mood for bloodshed.

And lucky for Dr. Crane, Poison Ivy was otherwise preoccupied. Harley Quinn's abrupt change from happy go lucky clown to serious psychiatrist was too much for the ecoterrorist. This only made her night out much more easier to manage.

Harley answered the door with a pleasant smile on her face.

"Good evening, Dr. Crane. You look--" She looked him up and down--a very tall and lanky creature, but nonetheless dresses well. "--dashing. Shall we go then?"

"Why thank you. Dr. Quinzel. I did try to dress up for the evening's festivities."

He fought the urge to snort at her compliment, and instead offered her his arm, gentleman-like, so that he could escort her to his car (http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/01/04-volvo-c30-design-concept/Volvo%20C30%205-lg.jpg).

It was a nice change of pace from the other night when she was with Mr. Nygma in nothing else, but a towel. This was more refined and formal for a girl of her calibre.

Harley took him by the arm and let herself be taken to his shiny vehicle.

"This looks new," she noted, opening the passenger door herself (gasp! a modern woman!) and sliding inside.

Crane slid into the vehicle easy-as-you-please, and turned it on with a twist of the ignition.

"I've a taste for the modern." he replied, already nearly flying down the street. "It's easier to delve into the things I want with my position, tenuous as it is."

"I never would have guessed," she chuckled, still having humor deep within her. The Scarecrow--excuse her, Dr. Crane always struck her as a man right out of the 19th century. She remembered the stories they used to read in English class about Ichabod and the Headless Horseman. That was 19th century, wasn't it? And Jonathan walked right out of the pages.

Harley ran her hand over the dashboard, admiring his expensive toys. "Must have cost a pretty penny."

He smiled, faux sincere as he maneuvered the car through traffic, cutting off more people than was really respectable for a man of his intelligence. "Not as much as you'd think, no. There are quite a few who would do anything in their power to get rid of something they think unnecessarily expensive in these trying times."
