[Harley hadn't seen this coming. She wasn't sure if any of them had seen this coming. After Sasuke's Heart, things had maybe even looked up a little, courtesy of the little pizza party on the beach of Hinata's Heart.
But this... She can only stare in horror as Rahti, Rahti who was always smiling and chasing things... who was always seeing the positive in the grimmest of situations, attacked the Cat. Harley doesn't know what abilities the girl has, but here in the Hub they are all the same and powerless against their guides. She didn't have a prayer, and yet she'd reacted and there was no coming back. The Cat allows her attack, but overpowers and outpaces her, his claws tearing quickly and efficiently through her body.
Harley's hands clamp over her mouth, eyes wide as she chokes back a sound of horror. She hadn't expected the guides to be harmless, but this?]
Oh, kid...
[Sure, she's seen worse... Hell, she's done worse... but never to someone she'd consider an innocent kid. Tim Drake didn't count. But then the Cat defiles Rahti's body and removes her eye, plopping it into his open socket and looking at them with a newly mismatched set.
Unbidden, a jingle comes to mind and she whispers it under her breath.]
Jeepers creepers... where'd you get them peepers... [She laughs, but it's a broken sound and she quickly muffles it under her hands. A competition, huh? One down...]
