First Date?

*At the same time as Dr. Silas meets with the Joker we go back to WayneTech Medical Research Labs to see what's happening there.*

Harley's P.O.V.

It's officially been a year since I joined the research team. Initially there was some resistance to me joining the team with how close I use to be to the Joker. But, with the help of Mistah S. and all my hard work, I eventually won some of the group over. Mistah S. and I have been testing several new batches here lately. Right now we have two batches that are showing real promise. unfortunately that's when I hear glass shattering and the Big Oaf cursing.

*CRASH*

"GODDAMN IT!! FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!! THIS FUCKING SUCKS!! I THOUGHT WE HAD FINALLY FOUND IT!!".

I get up from my desk to see what's wrong with Mistah S.

"Doctah S, what's wrong? Did something bad happen? Are you okay?".

"I'm sorry about my outburst there Dr. Quinn. I feel like an idiot right now. I'm fine, thank you for asking. I just thought we might have just found the cure. Those two batches lasted the longest so far, but once again, they ended in failure.".

"Oh!! That was all. I thought maybe you caught your gurlie with someone, or something like that.".

"Nah, I'm not that lucky Dr. Quinn! Most women are intimidated by my height or how big I am. They think I'm Bane without the costume on. Then the one's that are interested in me, I'm not interested in.".

I think to myself that's good news. I still have a shot with the big oaf. I'm tired of waiting for us to find the cure. I decided to make my move.

"Hey, Doctah S. Since we're the only one's who are working, why don't we take a break? Since you are my chaperone, maybe you can drive us in that pretty Pontiac GTO of yours and we can go over to Black Betty's Diner. Maybe, get something to eat and drink. Take some time away from looking at batches. I mean we've both have been couped up in here for several days. So what do you say?".

"I think that sounds like a good idea Dr. Quinn. You're right we've both have been working hard over the last several days and have been spending way too much time in the lab. I'm pretty sure that you're tired of only seeing the lab and Pam's apartment. So let's go!".

With that being agreed upon, both Mistah S and I clean up the mess he made. While we were cleaning our hands occasionally touched sending sparks through me. We finish cleaning up and take off our lab coats and hang them up. We leave the lab and head outside to Mistah S's beautiful car. He walks over to the passenger side and opens the door for me. So I decided to razz him about it.

"Such a gentleman!! I didn't know that they still existed in this day and age!!".

I get the reaction that I wanted from him as he stutters his answer out, while his reddish-brown skin turns even more red from embarrassment.

"Umm, NN-No Problem!".

Mistah S makes sure I'm seated in the car and nothing is going to be closed in the door. He shuts the door and walks around to the driver's side of the car. As he does so, I find my self giggling like a school gurl at how easily I frustrated him. He opens the driver's side door and gets into the seat. We both put on our seat belts and he puts the keys in the ignition and starts the car and puts into gear and we take off.

About 15 minutes later we pull into the parking lot of Black Betty's Diner. Mistah S finds a spot near the door and parks his car. He turns off the car, pulls the keys out of the ignition, and undoes his seat belt. He opens his door and gets out of the car and closes his door and begins to walk over to my side. While he is walking over to my side, I quickly undo my seat belt and wait. He opens my door and offers me his hand to help me get out of the passenger seat. He truly is a gentleman. After I'm out of the car, he closes the door behind me and we make our way inside the diner.

I guess Mistah S is a regular here. Because he directs me towards a table that looks like on one side is set up for someone of his size, while the other side is set up for a normal sized person.

Mistah S and I walk over to the table and he quickly pulls the chair out for me. I take the offered chair and sit down. Allowing him to push me up to the table. He goes over to side meant for him and quickly sits down. I begin looking at the menu while we wait on being served. But, I can't help stealing some quick glances at my big handsome oaf date. But, I'm not the only one doing so. I hope I'm not reading this the wrong way, but I think Mistah S hopefully has some feelings for me also. Though, as quickly as I think that, my thoughts are interrupted by the waitress.

"Are y'all ready to order?".

"Sure thing Betty! I would like my usual breakfast special.".

"Oh, Doctor Steele!! I'm sorry! I didn't realize that it was you. Usually when you come in here you're still wearing you lab attire. So your usual breakfast special. Four pancakes, three pieces of bacon, two sausages, two slices of ham and two hash browns with a glass of strawberry lemonade?".

"That's sounds great Betty.".

"And for you Miss?".

I ordered the same breakfast special as Mistah S, but just one of everything he ordered. Betty jots down our orders and leaves.

She comes back a few minutes later with our drinks.
