Harley Quinn was captured by Batman, and "went straight" for a while. She released Quasar, then a prisoner of the LoD, and was subsequently captured by Nemesis. Now, comes...
The Trial of Harley Quinn
The Cast
Dr. Happersen
It's a middle-aged scientist, wearing a white lab
coat. He's got black hair, a moustache, and glasses.
LoD-1
A generic Legion of Doom trooper, wearing black
power-armor with 'LoD' stenciled on it in blue.
The Joker
"Who is this clown?" you think as you stare as this
strange man in front of you. Standing somewhere around 6'4", this tall
and lanky man invites the word clown. It probably has something to do with
his garish purple zoot suit with tails, the bright shock of emerald green
curly locks that sit in a chaotic mess upon his twisted little head. Or
maybe it is the fact that his skin is white as snow.. or maybe talc or
chalk. That snowy white innocent comment just does not seem appropriate.
Not with that look of raw insane malevolence in his eyes or the crule smile
that rests between his bright ruby red lips. In fact, just looking at this
man reminds you of why you were afraid of clowns when you were younger
and you find yourself filled with an urge to get out of here as quickly
as possible.
Harley Quinn
Harley is not the largest of women, actually she's
pretty average in height, and athletically slim. Her honey blond hair has
been styled nicely, soft waves that brush her shoulders. Little makeup
covers her pretty face, just a touch of lipstick and a bit of shadow to
highlight her bright blue eyes. Her clothing today is pretty mundane, for
her, a simple blue pullover shirt tucked in to matching slacks, hemmed
nicely above her black flats. She carries a small black purse over one
shoulder.
The Riddler
A dapper man in a colorful costume, the Riddler
stands at just above six feet in height, his frame thin and even a little
gaunt. The Master of Enigmas wears full costume today, a green jacket and
tie accompanying a bright purple shirt and matching pants. Purple question
marks dot the lapels of his jacket, and one prominent one decorates his
tie. A purple domino mask does little to hide his identity, but serves
to complete the image of the gentleman thief. A bowler hat, in the requisite
colors, sits atop his head at a jaunty angle, with a few locks of dusky
red hair spilling out the back. The Riddler clasps a long metal cane in
his lavender-gloved hands, its hook curved elegantly like the question
mark. Dapper, charming, and perhaps more than a little dangerous, the Riddler
nonetheless cuts a striking figure.
Elemental
The Elemental stands 6' 2" and has fairly large
muscles. He has long black hair and a black goatee and mustache. He is
wearing Gargoyle style sunglasses and a hoop earring in one ear.
He is wearing a suit of body armor that is mainly black with the exception
of golden boots, belt, and gloves. Strangely enough, the gloves have the
fingers cut off. On his chest is a golden version of the Bohr model of
the atom.
Zod
Before you stands a huge man. Standing 6'4" in height
and rippling with muscles he looks like a man not to be tangled with. His
long black hair falls across his face down to about his chin, his sparkling
blue eyes peering out through absorbing all around him. His mouth is set
in a permanant lopsided grin that gives him the look of a man not playing
with a full deck.
He wears a basically solid black costume. It begins at the shoulders
with a pair of shoulder pads that extend a few inches from the shoulder
blades, from these shoulder pads his long eben cape hangs to the ground.
The main part of the suit is solid black with a slight shiny tint to it.
It is comprised of a skin tight long sleeved shirt that tucks into a pair
of trunks with black leggings extending into a pair of boots. Over his
left breast is a silver symbol, An L with an O resting in it's elbow that
contains a D in it's center. He wears a silver belt over the eben trunks,
the buckle is the letter Z with the rest of the belt extending form the
upper and lower portions of the letter around his waist connecting in the
back.
Nemesis
The man before you stands about six feet, two inches
tall, and is built like an olympic athlete. His features are hidden behind
a black, featureless rubber mask. The eyes are obscured by a pair of black
discs. His broad shoulders increase the impression that he is probably
rather strong, as do his well-developed muscles. He is wearing a black
suit of spandex over his entire body, with black gloves and combat boots.
He is also wearing a flowing purple cloak, attached to his shoulders by
golden-colored discs.
The Trial of Harley Quinn
Hall of Doom - Meeting Hall
This room is completely black. The walls are shadowed
in black, the ceiling merely a collection of shadows. The floor is covered
in a soft but firm black carpet, and the only furnature is a large, U-shaped
conference table. One table, at the bottom of the U, has a gavel, apparently
the place of the speaker. There is also a small, short platform in the
center of the U-shaped table. There is a bright spotlight shining down
on that spot, making it uncomfortable and hot, but very well lit. For people
who must stand here and face the Legion of Doom, this is generally a place
of terror. The lighting in the room is such that anyone standing on the
platform will only see dark sihouettes of the council members, while they
can still see each other clearly. This is the inner sanctum of the Legion
of Doom.

Obvious exits:
Out <O>
Harley Quinn almost stumbles as she comes in, still hefting the hyaena that's as big as she is.
The Joker grins, "Riddler ole bean, good to see you! Hee hee!"
The Riddler tips his hat with his cane and takes a seat of his own, "Yes, I did enjoy my holiday, but it's good to be back in the proverbial saddle"
Nemesis seats himself at the head of the table.
Zod joins the table at Nemesis's right hand, still glaring at Harley.
LoD-1 enters from the tunnel leading to
the main chamber.
LoD-1 has arrived.
LoD-1 follows Harley in, holding an energy-rifle
to her back.
The Joker tip toes around the table like an idiot and takes his own
seat.
The Joker grins, "Nemesis, salami on rye for me!"
Nemesis nods to Joker, though he's not laughing at the moment.
The Riddler says "I think ham might be more appropriate..."
The Joker says "yes, ham!"
The Joker chuckles.
LoD-1 directs Harley into the center of the room, under the bright lights, in the center of the table's 'U'.
Elemental is solemnly silent, ignoring the jokes.
Conference Table (#1) has 16 empty places.
Present are: Nemesis, Zod, The Joker, and Elemental
Zod glares at Riddler and Joker, no humor to be found in his cold eyes.
Harley Quinn carefully puts Bud on the table, smoothing down his fur, before going to the center of the room.
The Joker eyes harley, turning in his chair.
The Joker grins and pulls out his deck of cards.
The Riddler meets Zod's gaze bemusedly, tipping his hat in brazen acknowledgement.
LoD-1 takes up a position behind Harley, as two more black-clad guards stand by the door.
The Joker hmms, "Do we really need guards? It's only harley..."
Nemesis raises his gavel and raps it soundly, three times. He says sternly, "The Council of the Legion of Doom will come to order!"
The Joker hmms, "What's the special?"
The Joker grins.
Harley Quinn looks at the assembled, her mind moving quickly.
Harley Quinn thinks . o O (Better make this really, really good or
Zod's gonna rip me ta pieces. Literally. That's gonna hurt wworse than
Mistah J's pranks or one of Ivy's play times.)
The Riddler leans back in his chair, tapping rhythmically on the end of his cane, waiting to hear the charges.
Elemental sits uncharacteristically silent, his thoughts and feelings masked efficiently.
The Joker flips a card over from the top of his deck....hey, it's a Joker...what a coincidence.
Nemesis waits for the room to quiet before he continues. "The subject of this meeting is the alleged defection of Harley Quinn, Council Member of the Legion of Doom. The charges are: betrayal of our cause, assisting a known hero, releasing a prisoner without clearance, and conspiracy against the Legion of Doom." He gestures to Zod, "General Zod will be acting as prosecutioner." He looks around the room again. "Will any speak in Harley Quinn's defense?"
The Joker flips through his cards and whistles a little.
Harley Quinn says "Can I defend myself?"
Zod looks to each member of the assembled his gaze finally resting on Harley herself.
Nemesis looks to Harley. "Very well. Harley Quinn will be defending herself."
The Joker grins, "Let's hear what she has to say."
Nemesis gestures to the General, and says to the Joker, "All in good time, Mr. Joker.... General, please feel free to begin your opening remarks."
Zod stands from his place at the table and circles around, nearing Harley Quinn, "It is my belief, and my intent to prove, that Harely Quinn, of her own free will and accord, aided and abbeded known heroes in the 1)The penetration of the Legions own personal Sanctuary, 2)the release of one of our greatest foes Quasar, 3)and finally I intend to prove that Harley Quinn can not now nor ever again be trusted by the assembled council members," he turns to face each council member, "Harley Quinn took that which we do not give freely and twisted and destroyed it. Our trust. Never before has one member of the Legion turned on or betrayed a fellow in such a blantant and vile manner. She has breached the integrety of our security and proven where her true allegiances lie. This is not something to take lightly, my fellow council members. She not only freed our prisoner Quasar, but revealed the position of the Hall to our enemies. Who knows what else she shared with her new found allies." with that he quiets and turns to Harley to hear her opening words.
Nemesis nods to Harley, "Now, please make your own opening statement."
Harley Quinn looks at the assembled villains here, then squarely at Nememsis. "Yer honor," she says, "I plead not guilty be reason of sanity."
The Joker giggles.
The Joker says "I object!"
Nemesis seems mildly surprised at this. "What is your objection, Mr. Joker?"
The Joker stands up, "How do we know she's not under some kind of mind control?" He points at Harley, "She's gone off the handle I tell you!"
The Riddler mumbles, "Wouldn't that require a mind?" beneath his breath...
Nemesis responds, "That will be determined from her testimony." He raps once. "Order! Now, let us hear the remainder of Harley's statement."
Elemental remains eerily silent.
The Joker sits back down, mumbling, "she's not well..."
At the conference table, Nemesis says "Whether or not she is well, Gentlemen, is not the entire point...but a part of it."
Harley Quinn says "Ya see, none of this was my fault. It was that jerk, Batman. Ya ever notice how he can sneak up on ya, and suddenly, ya can't help but be afraid? It's gas. Hell, I oughta know, Mistah J has been testin' stuff on me fer years. See, when we was all in the hospital he grabbed me when that psycho bot tried ta flatten the place, and the weird Phoenix chick went after Zod there. I suddenly lost my willpower. He told me ta give myself up, and I did. He took me ta Arkham. He saw me there, almost everyday. Geeze, he was even there when I got out. He signed the release! He's been followin' me, makin' me do stuff. Right before you guys grabbed me, he was there! If it wasn't for my babies, I think he woulda hit me with it again. Now, I did get Quasar out. I couldn't help myself, but I go them all lost in the swamp, and they didn't get that close. If they had, every freakin' hero from here ta Poughkepsie would a been in here, trashin' the place. But they ain't. I say, this is all Batman's fault!"
The Joker says "Batman!"
The Joker says "I knew it!"
The Joker grumbles.
Zod leans down near Joker to say something...
At the conference table, Zod glares at Joker, "If all it took was a simple promise from the Bat to betray us...then she deserves all she will get here today."
At the conference table, The Joker says "She didnt destroy us! we're here! hee hee"
The Riddler listens carefully, but keeps his own council, for the nonce.
Harley Quinn says "Ya know, he tried ta get me to have Bud and Lou put down? He's a monster! They're my babies!"
Nemesis nods. "Thank you, Ms. Quinn." He looks back to General Zod. "General, do you wish to present any evidence, or call any witnesses?"
Zod looks to Harley and smiles softly walking up to her, his heels clicking a bit on the floor of the room. He looks to Joker then back to Harley, "I call Harley Quinn herself. Let her own testimony aquit or condemn her."
At the conference table, The Riddler mumbles again, "Apparently, melodrama is a Kryptonian trait..."
Nemesis nods, "Very well. Harley Quinn, do you swear to tell the truth, the entire truth, and nothing besides the truth, on peril of your life?"
The Joker flips over another card on his deck....ace of spades...things
are looking up.
The Joker says "I object!"
Nemesis looks to Joker. "Overruled, Joker, at least for the moment."
The Joker grumbles, "If she's been messed with by Batman...she's unreliable."
Harley Quinn looks up at Zod, smiling nervously. "Um, yeah."
The Joker chuckles.
Nemesis nods, "General, you may begin questioning."
Zod grins a bit, "Remember Harley. I can monitor your heart rate, your breathing, even your scent. If you lie to me...I will know." with that he whirls around putting some distance between himself and Harley, "Harley. You expect us to believe that Batman controled your mind to such a point that he concinced you to come out here to the Hall and free Quasar?"
Harley Quinn says "Yes."
The Joker mumbles, "whee..."
Zod turns to face Harley, "Yet you some how managed to maintain enough self control to keep out hide a way hidden from the Bat? He controlled you enough to free Quasar...buy amazingly enough not so much as to bring him allt he way to the Hall?"
Harley Quinn says "I am a psychiatrist. You'd be surprised what the mind can do."
The Riddler says, "Zod, if your supersenses are so bloody effective at detecting lies, why don't you skip all this nonsense and just ask, "Did you betray us?". The whole point of extended questioning is to catch her in a lie, contradicting herself, but you kind of circumnavigate that whole thing...that is, if we can trust you."
The Joker grins, "It's no farce...it's a fact finding mission! HAHA!"
Elemental thinks . o O(Ouch. I think Eddie has a deathwish.)
Nemesis turns to the Riddler. "Riddler, do wish to take part in this hearing? You are free to withdraw your vote and let us handle this..." His voice is calm, but there is a hard edge to it, implying that he finds this process rathre important.
The Riddler arches an eyebrow at Nemesis, "I'm more than willing to take part, my dear Nemesis. I'm simply attempting to make the wheels of justice move more...efficiently.
Nemesis nods. "Your suggestion is noted, Riddler, but I believe the full proceedings will make this more effective."
Zod whirls to face the Riddler, "You question *MY* allegiance?" his eyes glow slightly in abject rage. Once Nemesis speaks up he closes hsi eyes to calm himself then turns back to Harley, speaking now in a terse and slightly agitated tone, "Do not dance around my question Harley. You claim he controlled you so much that you freed Quasar yet not enough to reveal the location of the Hall. I find this a tad hard to believe. Now...answer the question."
Harley Quinn says "I did."
The Joker says "I object!"
The Joker grins.
Nemesis glances to Joker, "On what grounds, Joker?"
The Joker says "He's badgering the witness!"
The Joker chuckles.
Elemental makes a suggestion. "We could administer some truth serum. That might help lead to the heart of the matter."
Nemesis shakes his head, sighing, "Overruled." He looks to Zod and Harley again.
The Joker laughs out loud.
Harley Quinn says "Whether you beleive me is somethin' else. Geeze, I'm currently sweatin' so much, I should be surrounded by a puddle. My heart rate is goin' so fast I could pass fer a mouse in a cardiogram. Are you really gonna believe anythin' I say?"
Zod steps up so he is face to face with Harley, "What I believe is you are hiding something. You claim to have answered my question...you did not. You refered to your psychiatric back ground. I asked a yes or no question. You responded in a vague nad nebulous way. Why? What are you hiding?"
Harley Quinn says "Have any heroes trashed this place?"
Elemental returns to stone silence since his suggestions seems to have been ignored.
Nemesis apparently missed Elemental's suggestion in the wake of Joker's objection.
The Joker leans back in his chair and flips over another card on his deck...jack of hearts...ouch, not good.
Harley Quinn says "No? Then obviously they didn't get in. Batman asked me ta help rescue Quasar. I did that. He didn't make me reveal this place. There is latititude in mind control, that's why ya always gotta make sure tell the controlled what ta do, exactly."
Zod grins, "Again you dodge the question at hand harley." he turns to Nemesis, "I would like to note that on two seperate occasions Ms. Quinn has dodged my rather exact inquiry." he turns back to Harley, "Perhaps you did not reveal the Hall's location...but you had enough wits about as to not reveal it." he laughs, "Your claim to being mind controlled is weak at best Harley. You know none of us have the means to prove it one way or the other. All we have to go on is your word. The word of a traitor. So tell me...why should we trust you again?"
The Joker says "I object!"
Elemental whispers to Nemesis, "We could administer some truth serum. Might speed up the process."
Nemesis glances at Elemental, and nods, murmuring something back.
Nemesis whispers to Elemental, "I'll see about that." to Elemental.
Nemesis turns to Joker. "Yes, Joker?"
The Joker grins, "It is to be proven whether she's a traitor or not Zoddie..."
The Joker says "He's only proved that she is indeed still loyal."
Zod turns to Joker, "Oh? How so?"
Nemesis nods, "Indeed, how so?"
The Joker says "If she was not loyal, then the Hall's location would have been given away and we'd probably all not be sitting here."
Zod says "I would also like ot point out that it was you Joker, who
was so anxious to get us all out of the Hall that night. You're idea to
go out on a night on the town. When I objected...you insisted I go.""
Zod scoffs, "That only proves she fears our reprisal. Nothing more."
The Joker motions to Harley, "It proves she's actively betraying Batman
to our cause!"
The Joker stands up, "We should thank her!"
The Joker grins.
Nemesis speaks up, "Perhaps there is a better way to solve this. General, what of Elemental's suggestion that we administer a truth serum?"
Zod looks from Harley to Joker then to Nemesis, "I say just give me five minutes with her. I'll yank the truth from her." he then shrugs, "But the truth serum has merit."
The Joker laughs.
The Joker says "We all know /that/ is not admissible in court!"
The Joker chuckles to himself.
Elemental says "Nothing mind-damaging, of course. Um, Joker, this isn't court."
Harley Quinn sighs and looks down. "Yer right, there ain't no reason for ya ta trust me. I just spent months here, doin' what everyone asked, even you. I risked my life, time and time again ta help out the Legion, goin' up against heroes that would gleefully squish me for the hell of it. I get mind controled, taken ta Arkham, none of ya tried ta get me out. Not even you, Zod. Batman kept me goin', kept me out of it, tried ta make me betray you guys, and all I did was rescue a prisoner. I tried ta be loyal, but I get blamed and almost killed, even when I'm normal. Geeze, why do I even try? Yer jsut gonna kill me, no matter what. I was the most loyal person in this whole team, I even cried when you were dead, but that means nothin', right? So, fine. Kill me. Make yerself feel better, however briefly. I know what I did was wrong, but I coulnd't stop myself, and nobody helped me."
The Riddler says "And you're thinking of a lie detector test..."
The Joker says "oh yeah..."
The Joker scratches his head.
The Joker giggles.
The Joker motions to Harley, "I move to dismiss!"
Joker's proposal seems to be universally ignored.
Zod looks at Harley with a stoney gaze...he always had a soft spot for Harley, and he took her "betrayel" rather personal. He says nothing however simply moving back to his seat at the table.
The Joker grins.
Nemesis hmmms. "Very well. Elemental, do you wish to make a motion to use truth serum on her?"
Elemental nods. "I motion that this council use a truth serum to cut to the heart of the matter."
Nemesis says, "Do I hear a second on that?"
The Joker sits down in his chair.
Zod nods, "I second." he says lowly.
Nemesis nods. "Very well, all those in favor, please vote 'aye' now."
Elemental says "Aye"
The Joker laughs.
The Riddler looks at Harley, training eyes shadowed beneath the brim of his hat directly upon her, "Aye"
The Joker laughs.
Zod nods, "Aye."
The Joker giggles.
Nemesis nods. "And against?"
Harley Quinn says "Me?"
Nemesis looks to Harley, "What's that?"
The Joker takes a cigar from his jacket.
Elemental motions to a henchmen to get a hypodermic needle and plunger.
Harley Quinn says "None of you are doctors, but ya wanna give me an injection. I object. Kidnap a nurse and make her do it."
The Joker says "I say we let her prove herself again...if she fails...grease her."
Zod looks up, "Couldn't you do it Harley?"
Elemental says "I could do it. I've done injections before. Don't ask."
Harley Quinn blanches at the thought. "Me? Inject myself? That's gross."
Nemesis hmmms. "Motion carried."
The henchman returns with a needle and a rubber strap.
Dr. Happersen enters along with the henchman, blindfolded.
Elemental takes the needle and focuses intently. Shortly the plunger is filled with a clear liquid.
The Joker grins, "Hey doc! Guess who? Hahaha!"
Nemesis says, "The Doctor will administer the serum, Elemental...just so we all keep our hands clean."
Zod's eyes never leave Harley. He seems deep in thought.
Elemental nods and hands the needle to the doctor.
LoD-1 walks the doctor over to Dr. Happersen, and removes the blindfold.
Dr. Happersen makes his way to Harley. "Now hold still, miss...won't
hurt a bit."
Dr. Happersen can't see any of the Council Members who are in their
seats, due to the shadowy effect of the lighting in here.
Harley Quinn says "Can't I at least have a chair? ASfter that stuff hits, I won't be able ta stand."
The Joker grins, "Yes...sit down!"
LoD-1 brings a chair for Harley.
Harley Quinn sighs and sits down, looking at the shadows.
Dr. Happersen carefully rolls back Harley's sleeve, swabs her arm with alcohol...and injects the serum.
Harley Quinn thinks . o O (I was loyal. I was. I go off for a while, they turn on me. Even Mistah J turned on me. I should never have done like Batman said, I should never have gone straight, it's all his fault! He did this to me, when I just needed a rest, but no, I don't get no rest. Even Zod gets ta rest, but Harley has ta keep goin' and doin' but they'll be sorry if they kill me, cause nobody else will put up with them, and clean up after them, and put away the weapons and wash the speeder and do the laundry, and I don't even know what half the clothes are made of, so how am I supposed ta keep their shorts white and the costumes bright when they don't tell me nothin'! It's not fair!)
Elemental waits for the serum to take effect.
The Riddler keeps his own council, for the nonce, taking a "wait and see" stance as well.
The Joker sticks his cigar in his mouth.
Dr. Happersen scurries over to a corner.
Nemesis watches intently.
Harley Quinn looks down at her arm as the serum slowly takes effect, her thoughts starting to get vocalised, at first a mutter, then louder. "It's not fair. I did it all, I cleaned up, I even helped reprogram the controls, which is bad cause I didn't even know how when I started, but I got the going, didn't I? They work great, the lasers track well, but it's don't matter. I do one little thing wrong, I get killed. They screw around, pull silly jobs that don't get us nothin', they strut like peacocks. Why the hell do I even care what they think? They're gonna kill, and it's all Batman's fault. He hates me, they hate me, Hell, even I hate me, but I'm sick of bein' pushed around when they can't even put their own weapons away, and I didn't tell nobody how to find this place, and I didn't give away secret IDs, though I coulda, but they won't believe that either, will they. I was loyal, and now I'm dead. Geeze, this sucks."
Elemental appears to be unmoved.
Zod snifs a little quirking a brow. He drums his fingers on the table pondering.
Nemesis raises his eyebrows as Harley starts to slow down. "Gentlemen...are we prepared to vote now?"
The Riddler nods quietly, "I'm ready"
The Joker says "Faster we vote, faster we get to the buffet."
The Joker grins.
Harley Quinn lols back in the chair, looking at the ceiling, a little giggle escaping her lips.
Elemental nods silently.
Nemesis says, "I am also prepared to vote."
Another giggle escapes Harley, as she tries to look at all of you, her eyes not quite focussing. Laughter suddenly pours out, the tone not happy, perhaps even bitter, definitely not sane. "Yer all gonna kill, me ain'tcha? Ain't that somethin'?
The Joker looks at Nemesis, "Vote already!"
Nemesis nods. "Very well, gentlemen. Secret ballot, please..."
Harley Quinn peers at the Joker, her eyes not focussing. "Puddin?"
The Joker glances over at Harley.
The Joker raises his hand and waves frantically at harley, grinning.
Zod speaks up, "I have nothing to hide," his voice ringing clear and loud, "She did betray us. Freed our prisoner." he sighs and continues, "I vote not guilty." this comes out as almost a whisper. If you didn't know Zod well enough...you'd almost think it was sympathy.
Harley Quinn says, "Puddin, I don't feel so good," then promptly passes out.
Nemesis snaps his fingers...and Dr. Happersen scurries to Harley's side.
Nemesis looks to Joker for his vote.
The Joker blinks, "What did you do to her??"
The Joker glares at the doctor.
Dr. Happersen says "The serum must have run its course....she'll be fine once she sleeps if off."
Harley Quinn is just unconcious from the drug. Obviously, it had a strong effect on her.
The Joker fiddles with his ballot.
The Joker grins at Nemesis, "Tough choice, eh?"
The Joker slips his ballot to Nemesis.
The Riddler slips a piece of paper to Nemesis, his lips pursed thoughtfully.
Elemental slips his ballot to Nemesis.
Nemesis looks over at Joker for a moment, then says, "Very well. We have three votes of not guilty, one of which reccomends stipulations, one vote of guilty, but with the suggestion that Harley recieve a full pardon, and one abstention."
The Joker leans back in his chair and looks around, "I wonder who voted what..."
The Riddler shrugs, idly twiddling his cane, "It hardly matters, my dear Joker. The result remains: Harley, t'would seem, has been found not guilty."
Nemesis nods. "Gentlemen, it seems that the descision is that Harley is still worthy of membership in the Legion of Doom....but should there be a lesser penalty?"
The Joker grins, "Whee...wanna catch a movie?"
Elemental says "Nemesis, I'd like to make a suggestion."
Nemesis nods to Elemental, "Please do so, Elemental.'
Elemental says "If Harley's story is true, and it appears most of us believe so, I'd like to suggest a period of restricted probation. Batman may still have some influence on her and precautions should be taken."
Nemesis nods slowly. "Do I have a second on that?"
The Joker says "I second that."
You say "Very well, all in favor, vote 'aye.'"
Zod nods, "Aye."
The Joker says "aye"
Elemental says "Aye."
The Riddler ponders for a moment then shrugs, "Aye"
Nemesis says, "The aye's have it. Harley is placed in the custody of the Joker...and General Zod, until she is freed of Batman's influence."
Zod nods, "So be it." he says in a grave voice.
The Joker says "Goodie."
The Joker says "I'll watch her...she wont be any more trouble."
The Riddler says "Any potential ideas as to what sort of precautions, my dear Elemental"
Elemental says "We could start by limiting her access to the vital parts of the Hall. Communications, detention wing, controls, etc. We could also place a locator under her skin so that we know where she is at all times. If she shows any signs of betraying us, we go with the Joker's suggestion and kill her."
Nemesis nods to Elemental. "Very well. So shall it be done."
The Joker says "Or we could dress her up like Zod, she'd kill herself! HAHAHA!"
Dr. Happersen has meanwhile been giving Harley some kind of rarely-seen LexCorp drug to wake her up and sober her.
Harley Quinn slowly comes around, looking up at the doctor. "Who are you? Where's Mistah J?"
The Joker grins.
The Joker looks over at Harley, "I'm over here Harley dear!"
Zod ignores the Joker and goes over some information in his mind.
Elemental smiles for the first time since entering the meeting hall.
Nemesis raises his gavel once more, "The Council of the Legion of Doom finds Harley Quin not guilty...this meeting is closed." He raps the gavel three times, then sets it down.
