At LexCorp.:
Lex stared at the girl that stood before him…. “Marvelous! Wonderful!” and then with a grin, “Super…” Mercy scowled at the straight backed, 5’2, black haired beauty in front of her. It was the exact replica of Harley. Except with a pixie cut, instead of long waist length hair. And this Harley had red eyes, not black.
Lex nodded examining her, “And wewe say she does everything like the original?” His juu scientist, “of course. And she does exactly what wewe tell her. Once I put the chip in for both your and my voices, she will listen to either command.” Lex smiled, “Perfect.”
Luthor sat in his office, when in barged Dr. Varhiez. “YOU REPLICATED HER! WHY DIDN’T wewe TELL ME!?” Luthor kept a straight face, “Come in Doctor. Take a seat. Lets talk.”
Dr. Varhiez sat but almost shouted, “Why didn’t wewe tell me wewe were cloning her, I didn’t have enough DNA to clone her! And wewe did?” Luthor smiled putting his fingertips together, “Dr. Varhiez, I took what I needed, I took what I wanted, juts like wewe informed me I could. I did nothing wrong.”
Dr. Varhiez growled, “Do wewe know what I did with my samples? I created offspring. I made blends between Harley and the mbwa mwitu boy. Harley and the cat girl. Harley and the other Kryptonian. I mixed her with every of her compatriots.”
Lex watched the man rant thinking to himself, “If he created offspring, I’ll have an army. No need to worry about them ganging up on her, with her DNA crossed, It’ll be an even harder fight.” Luthor stood up, silencing Varhiez, “Doctor, who about an exchange?” Dr. Varhiez stared at the man, “A what?” Luthor proceeded, “An exchange. I’ll give wewe the cloned Harley, in exchange for the created offspring. Think about it. Harley fighting herself, its be an even fight, in fact it may be an even guaranteed fight! With her offspring, fighting her, she has the traits there, and knows how to defeat them, but if she has herself to fight, how can she hurt the clone, with out hurting herself?”
Dr. Varhiez jumped at the chance, not thinking about the round about that Lex had put together. He nodded eagerly, “I accept. Tonight, I will come here with all the offspring, and wewe will give me the clone.” Lex smiled at his own win, “Wonderful. Just give Amora, no our new receptionist, Amaya, a heads up to expect you.” Dr. Varhiez left the office excited and happy. He had gotten his wish… but so had Luthor.

Harley watched the pattern of the Leaguers appearance and disappearance during shifts. “idiots.” she snapped to herself, “Would they think I wouldn’t notice? I worked with batman, the Dark Knight Detective, I worked with Clark Kent the super news reporter, and Lois Lane! Do they THINK I’m an idiot?”
Harley looked at a picture of herself, Skylar, Tyler, and Silver. It had been a double date. Then another with Twan, Connor, Superboy, Scott, Tyler, and Nightwing. And the inayofuata picture with Bette, and Cat shopping at the mall. Then there was one with her and Barbra and Megan, after a mission. She put her fingers on each picha and then left the house. The leaguers would never even notice her absence.
She flew with quick speed to Metropolis, gaining her “oo’s” and “ah’s”. She stopped to hide in the shadows before walking the street, she walked to Clark’s apartment, and knocked. A surprised Superman opened the door as Harley pushed in. “Aren’t wewe supposed to be at your house in Gotham?” Harley flew over to sit on the counter of Clark’s kitchen, “nothing kwa wewe Clark.” Harley scowled. “look, I’m here to talk, When the team went on the mission to find the labs, we encountered beasts, and monsters to stop us. They had Symbols on their arms that I know. It proves that were close. I know wewe don’t want to hear this, but I want to talk with Bruce about them, they all have a meaning to them, I have pictures that I got from the mission, that we can see,” she held up her bag, which she hid easily, “ I think I know what they mean, and once we stop Dr. Varhiez, all THIS madness can come to a close.” Clark sighed, “Okay, fine, but instead of wewe talking with Bruce, just give me the translations, I’ll onyesha them to him.” Harley nodded, “Okay that works, besides, I won’t need to be there for him to understand the message the monsters have.”
Clark stared at her bewildered as she wrote down all the translations for each photo. She finished with in dakika and then waved goodbye, and to Clarks lucky stars, she left out the door like a normal person.
----------
Harley waited a few hours before being able to go back into her house. She was never noticed to be gone. Harley smiled, “perfect… Huston, we no longer have a problem.”
----------
Harley walked back into the cave happily, the siku before, Batman called her to tell her, that her suspension was canceled and was allowed back on the team.
“You mission today is to check up on Luthor he’s having a peace rally funded kwa LexCorp. I want wewe to all go there, disguised, and only a few in their hero outfits. All of wewe are to inhabit different sectors of the rally. M’gann and Twan will cover the left sector….” and he went on explaining. Harley was also in the civilians guise. How ever Nightwing, Batgirl, Superboy would go in hero getup. To see what Luthor would do seeing them there.
Harley smiled at Silver, and her new boyfriend South. They were cute together, and Silver looked very happy.
Skylar put an arm around her waist, she smiled, everything felt like normal. The thought ran through Harley’s head. Normal…she was far from it…all of them were. But that’s what made them who they were. Like she once said, ‘where would we be if we were all normal?’
Batman closed the session, and everyone moved away. Skylar pushed her to her room, “You need to get into your civilians clothes. Now hurry up.” Harley pecked him on the cheek distractedly, and slipped on a shati over her newest hero outfit. And didn’t bother to change her pants. She pulled up her large jacket, and covered her legs and neck.
She stepped out of her room, and smiled as Silver stepped out of her own at the same time. “ready?” she asked. Harley nodded, “But hold me back. I don’t want to go over and try to rip his head off again.” Korran stepped out her room in a casual tee shirt, and a mini skirt. “Especially on National TV, right?” Harley smiled at Korran, “You guys gonna ever let that go?” Silver smiled, “Oh sure, yeah we’re totally gonna forget when wewe told Superman off! Mhm…”
Harley laughed and flew to the zeta beams where others were waiting for them already.
-----------
Superboy walked into the crowd following a Nightwing and a Batgirl. He wanted to see the look on Luthor’s face when he saw him. His “son.” Superboy growled at the thought.
Skylar gripped Harley’s hand tightly, he wasn’t going to let her go on her own. Behind them was Mgann, who scanned the crowd, looking normal. Clapping arose from around them as Luthor walked onto the stage. Followed kwa Mercy. Harley snarled, and Skylar squeezed her hand. Harley breathed in sharply, and looked around for the other team members. Far off she could make out, Korran, Connor, and Twan.
Luthor started his speech, when something made all the YJ members freeze, and even Red Tornado who was on monitor duty, and J’onn who was just leaving his post.
Luthor went on, “I am glad to present Harley, formerly known as Obscurity, who has joined me in my Campaign for Peace.” Harley gasped along with everyone else. As a girl walked up on stage, sporting the exact clothes as Harley. The only difference was her hair. It was cropped short, and her eyes were red. Harley’s eye burst into flame, frightening the people around her. They screamed and ran from her. She began to fly from the ground as Skylar tried to stop her. But their Super strength canceled each others out. And Harley pulled free and into the sky with a roar. She could see Nightwing trying to hand signal her to stop. Harley shouted loud enough for everyone to hear, “HOW DARE YOU!? I WOULD NEVER WORK FOR au WITH YOU!” Luthor only smiled, “Kill her.” And the Harley clone nodded and zoomed towards Harley (the original). Harley blasted the Clone with Fire. Unfazed The clone punched Harley sending her soaring. “unburned right, right.” Harley hissed as she pulled herself to a stop. Instead this time Harley flew to the ground, and pulled out a tree, just as the Clone threw ice daggers her way, Harley deflected them kwa turning them into harmless water. Angrily the clone swung a fist in Harley’s direction. Harley grabbed the tree, and swung it at her clone. The clone flew yards away. Harley flew into the air and snarled, “You pathetic little!” and launched herself at well, uh herself. Harley brought down her fists onto the Clones face. Making it bleed. The clone used her leg to kick her away, and then used water to attack a blast of water. Harley Canceled it out with fire. Fighting the clone was unaware of Skylar flying up to her, and he raised his hands to stab the Clone. Sadly, the clone saw heard him, She swiveled around and shot Skylar with water. Skylar flew down dropping his weapon. Harley saw it fall, she flew down to grab a startled Skylar, and then picked up the Kryptonite. It hurt. Bad. zaidi was that she was touching it. The pain was almost unbearable. But the clone ran at her unaware of what Harley held and when Harley turned around just in time, she stabbed the clone in the chest with the Kryptonite. The clone staggered back. And gasped, her eyes flickered like an on and off switch. She fell back and gasped one zaidi time. And she stopped breathing.
But that wasn’t all. So did Harley. She gasped as her body convulsed from an electric shock wave. Harley flopped to the ground, and smoke came from her body. A dead Clone, an unconscious Skylar, and a half dead Harley. Dr. Varhiez walked over with Luthor, “I upendo the way wewe think Mr. Luthor. The Offspring are all yours now.”
---------------
At The Labs:
Dr. Varhiez smiled behind his mask as he worked a drill. “oh Harley, how good it is to have wewe back. Now you’ll remember only me. And your Marafiki will no longer mean a thing to you!” He cut a slice in Harley’s brain. “Oh! This will be that day! I will finally have u back, a missing component, and your all mine to control.”
Lex stared at the girl that stood before him…. “Marvelous! Wonderful!” and then with a grin, “Super…” Mercy scowled at the straight backed, 5’2, black haired beauty in front of her.
