Her skin is pale and white, and her long blonde hair is tied into high pigtails, with blue and red streaks running through them. Her eyes are blue, and her face is partially hidden by a black mask.
She wears a white top decorated with black and red diamonds, paired with a black belt studded with spikes. Her legs are covered by pants split into two colors, red and black, with a pair of blue denim shorts over them.
Speaking in an amused tone, she carries a special backpack that allows her to fly.
"Harley Quinn."
"Oh, you know me? Hahaha. Am I that famous?" She laughed, shaking her shoulders. She continued pointing her finger at him: "Crimson hair and a stylish cut. Your eyes are bright and deep. You don't look bad at all. You must be Zaydas Grimmory~!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at him with arrogance, as if expecting compliments.
Zaydas wasn't surprised that she knew about him. It was actually to be expected. But he pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I'm surprised you know me."
"Hahaha, of course, I'm a genius. Nothing escapes these eyes of mine~!" She formed a diamond shape with her fingers in front of her face, looking through them.
Her nails were painted in alternating shades of blue and red, with each finger displaying a single color. On her left hand, the pattern started and ended in red, while on her right hand, the nails began and finished in black.
"Apparently not." Zaydas nodded.
"Haha." She laughed. "Tell me, Zaydas. What did you do to them? Hypnosis?"
"Telepathy and Voice Hypnosis," Zaydas replied.
"Oh no. Are you reading my mind?" She dramatized, leaning to the side with her arms around her large breasts, but the smile on her face never faded.
"No, I'm not." Zaydas denied.
"Really?" She had that playful smile, but her eyes showed she doubted him.
"It's your choice whether to believe me or not." Zaydas shrugged, preparing to leave.
"Wait, wait!" She flew after him. When she caught up, she flew beside him to look at him: "Where are you going? Doing something fun? Can I come along? By the way, I really liked what you did back there~"
Looking at the horizon, Zaydas spoke in an inspiring and self-sacrificing tone: "Where am I going? The answer to that question is rather complex."
"Hahaha, what's that? Sounds fun~" Harley Quinn laughed, bending in the air with her hands on her stomach.
Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, he continued: "My destination is none other than the lair of a villain who has reached the Third Phase, and their unique ability seems to be capable of controlling other monsters beneath them. From what I know, there are several under their command in the Second Phase."
"You found the Puppeteer!?" Harley Quinn seemed shocked.
"Yes, so it's best if you don't follow me," Zaydas replied.
"Ky..."
"Ky?"
"KyHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, she started laughing loudly, almost running out of breath. She said, "How could I miss something this interesting?! I'm going with you!"
Although Zaydas did, in fact, know the location of the villain Puppeteer, he had no intention of going there. He just made something up to get Harley Quinn to stop following him. But she actually got excited about it and wanted to follow him there?
"No, you can't." Zaydas denied.
"You're not the boss of me, blehhh." She stuck out her tongue. "I'm going to follow you, let's see you try to stop me."
She began flying beside him, humming "lalalala~" cheerfully.
"..."
'Is she a child or something?'
Seeing her act like that, Zaydas remained expressionless.
He kept flying, but because of Harley Quinn, his ability to stay unnoticed became useless. Whether due to her flashy way of dressing or because her backpack, which made it possible for her to fly, wasn't exactly like a motorcycle but still made noises like a flamethrower.
Realizing he was about to be recorded, Zaydas created a hooded jacket to cover his face.
"Is that part of your powers?" Harley Quinn asked upon seeing this.
"Yes." Zaydas replied.
"Where are we going?" Harley Quinn asked, licking her red lips. "Are we going to the Puppeteer's lair?"
"To eat." Zaydas pointed at a corner restaurant as he descended.
"Eat?" Harley touched her own stomach. Thinking for a moment, she gave a wide smile: "Okay~"
When they landed, they were almost immediately surrounded, but Zaydas created an invisible barrier with telekinesis that prevented people from getting too close to him.
When Harley saw this, she was initially surprised, but soon she grabbed his arm, seeming to want to use him to keep people from crowding around her.
"It's Harley Quinn!"
"Damn, what is this?"
"An invisible barrier?"
Seeing that none of them could get close, Harley smiled broadly as she waved at them: "Sorry, but I'm hungry, you know? We'll talk later, okay? I love you all~"
She blew a kiss with her free hand.
Meanwhile, Zaydas simply looked at her as she seemed to be deliberately pressing her large breasts against his arm, almost making it disappear between them.
"Zaydas, Zaydas." She asked, shaking his arm between her breasts: "What's going on between you and Supergirl? Are you two dating? When I asked her, her reaction was weird, even though she denied it."
Thinking for a moment, Zaydas smiled a bit mischievously when he noticed someone wearing a hood that hid their face, looking like a suspicious person: "Yes, she's my girlfriend, but you know how shy she is, right? That's why don't tell anyone, okay?"
"Really!?" Harley was initially surprised. Moistening her lips, she looked him up and down and said: "Well, maybe it's not just because she feels shy that she doesn't want to make it public."
As he said this and Harley spoke, the hooded person slammed their fists on the table, nearly breaking it.
"Customer?"
"Ahh, sorry." The hooded person had a voice that was hard to distinguish, as if they had altered it on purpose.
Harley only glanced in their direction once before losing interest.
Zaydas chose a table near the hooded person, who ate with their head lowered.
After placing their orders, Harley rested her elbows on the table, propping her face in her hands, and asked with great interest: "When did this happen? Who confessed first? Tell me everything, okay?~"
"Should I say?" Zaydas seemed reluctant about sharing that.
"Come on, tell me~ She's my friend, I have the right to know, pleeease~" Harley held his hand, shaking it while looking at him with puppy-like eyes: "Pretty pleaaase~?"
"Okay, but this stays between us."
"Of course, my lips are sealed!"
What to say... She inspired zero confidence.
"I met her for the first time during the Fake Santa attack." Zaydas mixed truth with lies. "She was hit by Fake Santa and ended up being thrown into the restaurant where I was eating. And the moment she saw me..."
"And then? What happened next?"
"I think it was love at first sight since she seemed to have completely forgotten about Fake Santa, asking my name and for my contact number."
"Wow! So bold~" A charming and intrigued smile curled on Harley's lips.
Meanwhile, another sound of a fist slamming on the table echoed.
Ignoring it, Zaydas continued: "However, I didn't give it to her. I told her she should focus on dealing with Fake Santa outside first."
"So cold... That must have broken poor Supergirl's heart, but I like it~" Harley said cheerfully.
"Bastard..."
Harley looked toward the hooded person, but seeing them lower their head, she ignored them once again.
"After that, I helped a girl who was injured and went out to see how Supergirl was handling Fake Santa—"
Harley leaned forward, her eyes sparkling. "Ah, I know about that! You froze him when you were passing through the Second Phase, right?"
"Yes, exactly." Zaydas said, extending a hand to push her face away from his. "And when I wanted to leave, Supergirl said: 'Please, don't go. At least before you leave, let me make it up to you somehow. Here, this is my number, call me when you're free, okay?'"
He paused dramatically while Harley pouted at being pushed away. "Seeing her act so pitifully, I reluctantly accepted."
"Why? Don't you think she's pretty?" Harley seemed confused.
Meanwhile, their food was served.
Harley's question seemed to have caught the hooded person's attention again.
"Yes, I did." He paused as he picked up his food. Breaking the chopsticks apart, he continued before taking a bite: "However, I also felt overwhelmed."
"What do you mean?" Harley couldn't understand.
"Well, think about it." He replied. "If you were in my place and this happened, wouldn't you feel like everything was moving too fast and something might be wrong? I mean, she's Supergirl. If all her admirers joined hands, they wouldn't circle the Earth for just one little reason."
"Oh? And what would that be?"
Zaydas finished slurping his noodles, then, after chewing, he answered while twirling his chopsticks: "Because a lot of them would drown~"
"!!" Harley was initially surprised, then burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha, that was a good one!" She gave him a thumbs-up.
"Really?" Zaydas smiled slightly.
The person sitting near them pulled back their hood as they stood up, placing their hands on the table.
"I can't take this nonsense anymore!! Harley, don't listen to him, he's a huge liar!"
