Bab 676: 676. Change of Heart
Alexander was able to get many laws passed. The people and the opposition, of course, screeched at the president, calling him fascist or whatnot. It was crazy how people were so easy to call each other Nazis just for having a different opinion.
By doing this, they were in fact making real Nazis look less evil. Nazis were murderers, exploiters and sometimes rapists. Even then, not all German soldiers at that time were real Nazis. Most of them saw it as a job opportunity, it was either being a soldier or starving. The real staunch Nazis believing in the so-called Aryan Race were the people of Gestapo, SS and Hitler's inner circle.
Alexander sighed. These new generations of kids using such words were because they were not taught real history in school. Instead, they were taught a washed down version, to not hurt their weak feelings. Back in his days, he was taught all about Nazis and why they were bad and should not be idolised, but now, so many people idolise Hitler. The only thing worthy of idolising in that One Ball Man was his ability to speak and sway people. Rest, he was a demon in human skin.
But, all things aside, he was in front of two people and he didn't want to see one of them. It was Lucifer and Deadpool.
"Hello, why are you two here?" Alexander asked, having already zipped the mouth of Deadpool with a real zipper.
"Not much, I just came here to get some souls with me. He is my assistant now. You seem pretty relaxed about facing Zulrak." Lucifer said.
"What's there to worry about? Today or tomorrow, we are meant to fight. I can only prepare myself." Alexander shrugged.
"Well, maybe I can help you then. That Zulrak tried to take over hell a long time ago. He was not so strong back then. So, I pretty much beat him to a pulp before he was saved by his overzealous followers. Zulrak might be nothing, but he is a very persistent survivor. He is like cockroaches, that can even survive a nuke." Lucifer trashed Zulrak.
"So, back then I was able to cut his arm. He was probably able to regrow it. But the arm he left is valuable. Because it is from a time when he was not this strong. By now, he has been mutated to a point that his original biological makeup has vanished. But this arm has that. His original DNA." Lucifer explained.
Alexander thought for a while about how he could use it. "Hmm, I will have to think about what to do with it though."
"Sure, do whatever you want. As long as you kill that guy. I don't like people taking over my territory." Lucifer said and handed him the hand.
Alexander took the glass cylinder in which the hand was flowing in some gel-like liquid. Alexander sent it directly to Alfred the A.I. in Phixheim.
"UMMMM UMMMM..." Deadpool started jumping.
Alexander unzipped his mouth, "What?"
"Quick question. If there is an infinite number of universes. Then if I write some fiction, chances are that also exists somewhere?" Deadpool asked.
Alexander and Lucifer nodded.
"SWEET... So if I write about a whole world where all humans look like my sexy old man and there is only one person to whom they are attracted to and that being me, will this be possible?" Deadpool asked.
*Sigh*
"Lucifer, take him with you. I might end up doing something to him otherwise," Alexander warned.
Lucifer looked at Deadpool, "I told you not to mess with him. Well, anyway, what do I care for? Let's go. We need to go to this world with too many humans acting like gods against sentient robots. Detroit is a major centre of such a thing there."
"Ah, good old Detroit, never disappointing me. Let's go and gut some folks." Deadpool readied his Katana.
Alexander looked at Darrian after they were gone, "How are you? Do you still have a headache?"
"No, not anymore. But I think if I take this band off of my wrist I will again fall under Zulrak's control." He said.
"Hmm, then you need to wear it until I deal with him. Okay, you can do your work now. I will go and fix this planet." Alexander left him alone.
...
It was the next day and the date Ajax was going to have with Harley was happening. She had not gone to her own home for some reason so Ajax just let her sleep in another room in a hotel he rented. He was going to go back to Phixheim in normal circumstances but now he didn't.
He waited for Harley to get ready. But, when she came out, she had the same clothes, just cleaner.
"What? Don't judge me like that. I only have these clothes, also I like them more than any other dress." She said.
"Okay, I'm not judging. Anyway, let's go. I know a nice place for us to eat. But, before that, we need to do some work. I want to do something with the money we robbed yesterday. Just follow my lead." Ajax said.
"Woah, I am excited. Show me what you got, boy." She jumped around him.
Their first stop was an orphanage. When they arrived, the kids hoarded around Harley, thinking she was a real clown. "BIG SIS... SHOW US TRICKS."
"Hehe... okay..." She didn't deny surprisingly and started showing some easy magic tricks.
Then one kid asked Ajax if he knew magic. Ajax nodded. "You, check your pocket."
The child he pointed to confusedly put his hand in the pocket. As he brought his hand out, he had a bar of chocolate in his hand. A cute toothy smile appeared on his face.
"EVERYONE. CHECK YOUR POCKETS." Ajax announced.
All the kids put one hand in their pockets and took out chocolate bars. All of them turned happy and started dancing around.
"CHECK YOUR OTHER POCKETS," Ajax added.
In hope, all of them checked their other pockets and again took out a chocolate bar. They were too happy. Ajax smiled, he looked like a smaller version of Alexander right now.
"Nice trick, Ajax. Where is my chocolate bar? I don't have a pocket, should I take it out of yours?" She seductively said near his ear. It was unknown which chocolate she was talking about though. The bar or the cylinder?
*Cough*
"No no.. here you go." Ajax simply rotated his hand and magically it appeared.
"Woah, how are you doing all this?" She asked.
"Magic... learned from my grandpa." He cryptically replied.
"Oh really? Then why don't I show you some other magic? Like maybe... how to make the chocolate bigger?" She asked.
*Sigh*
"Damn, woman. You're too thirsty." Ajax sighed and turned around and headed to the warden. She followed him behind.
Soon, they were in the office. Ajax took out 50,000$ and gave it to her. "These are donations from Harleen Frances Quinzel. Please make a receipt for it."
The warden quickly got to work. Not many such charitable people were in Gotham city anymore. But recently there was indeed a crazy old man spending money on orphanages like crazy. Just recently she received a truckload of supplies like clothes, books and toys. And now this.
She looked at the clown-like lady with admiration. "Thank you, miss. This money will greatly help their future. So they don't end up becoming one of the no-name thugs when they grow up."
Harley Quinn was still in shock. Someone was thanking her? For charity? What the hell?
"I did..." She tried to speak but stopped when Ajax's hand fell on hers. She looked at him in a questioning gaze.
Ajax just warmly smiled, hoping that she won't start swinging her bat after seeing his charm. What he was trying to do was reignite the goodness in her. Reignite the sense of social responsibility in her.
After they received the receipt, they said goodbye to the little kids and went to another location.
"Why are you doing all this? I'm sure you know what kind of person I am, right?" She asked. She seemed out of character asking this.
"This is my date, you lost yesterday so you must travel wherever I take you." He argued.
She pouted, "Huh... this maiden never breaks promises so you are lucky. Okay, where to now?"
"Now, we are going to a children's hospital," Ajax decided.
Harley Quinn suddenly stepped back and crossed her arms around her breast. "NO, I won't let you donate my organs."
Ajax laughed, "HAHA... I wasn't going to. Come with me."
Soon, they came to the hospital. They immediately went to the billing section. "Hello, my friend here would like to make a donation in the name of the medical expenses of children here. Especially for those from poor families."
The billing clerk was taken aback but she called the supervisor quickly. He quickly made a list of all kids going through expensive treatments, who didn't have insurance and also had poor parents.
The bill came to about 2 million. That was more than they stole but it was no problem.
"Good, we will pay for them. Make the receipt in the name of Harleen Frances Quinzel." He demanded.
"Sure, sir." They busied themselves. This time Harley didn't protest. After that, Ajax dragged her to a few more locations.
They gave money to a lot of needy people. Some animal shelters, to some families going bankrupt, to some homeless families with genuine problems. They travelled the whole day all over the city. To Harley's shock, he was also giving each of them a small gift pack and she didn't know what it contained.
By now, if going by the receipts, she had given 50 million dollars to charity. It was night now and one final thing was left.
"I AM TIRED NOW... PICK ME UP..." She threw tantrums.
Ajax picked her on his back. Superstrength was his speciality. She was lighter than a feather to him.
They soon came to an empty dock. There was nothing, no vehicle, no people.
"I have a surprise for you, Harley. Close your eyes. No cheating too... wait, I will tie a cloth." Ajax said.
"OOH... I love surprises." She was overjoyed.
Son, Ajax brought out a big hot air balloon from Phixheim. He brought her in and made the balloon go higher than most buildings in Gotham City. But he kept it stationary at that height.
Harley felt the cool breeze touch her face. "Ooh... where are we?"
Ajax made her turn towards the city. It was drowning in lights and looked very beautiful.
"Woah... so pretty. But, is this the surprise?" She asked, not looking much shocked and pleased.
Ajax smiled and shook his head, "No. Just keep on looking towards the city."
A few seconds later, Ajax snapped his finger and suddenly the whole Gotham city went dark. Ajax didn't really cut the electricity but instead, it was just an illusion for them. As good as real.
"WOAAH..." She exclaimed.
*BOOM*
Suddenly, a firework flew up over the city and burst into a thousand sparkles. That was just a start. Soon, out of various parts of the city, fireworks came up. In no time, the whole sky was covered with them. The lights shined in Harley's eyes. Ajax stood beside her and looked at her happy and excited face, it made her look prettier.
He then started speaking. "Harley, do you see a pattern with these fireworks?"
She was not dumb. It took her a few seconds to realise it. "T-They are all the places we visited today."
"In fact, these fireworks were shot by all the people you, Harleen Frances Quinzel, helped today. All of them are thanking you with their happy faces. Look at this light, Harley. This is happiness, hope and light. Then look at the dark parts of the city. Those represent darkness, pain, despair, hatred and crime.
Which would you rather prefer?" He asked.
"This..." She replied.
"Then there is light in you, Harley. Do you want to hear the happy giggles and shouting of all the kids of the orphanage and kids hospital and the people? They are watching the sky right now."
Suddenly, all kinds of children's voices came to her ears.
"Yayyyy..."
"Woah... so pretty."
"Yes, they remind me of the colourful sister we saw today."
"Yes, she was pretty..."
"I will marry her, you just see.."
"NO... I WILL..."
"Stupid... big sis already had that handsome big brother..."
"But..."
Soon, the voices of adults came.
"She is a godsend. We can finally live in a house again."
"She is an angel..."
"Harleen, thank you, child. This old man can finally eat a good meal and sleep in a warm bed."
The voices gave blessings, kids spoke nonsense but their words were so cute that anybody's heart would melt.
The fireworks were still going strong. Then, finally, a big one came, it somehow managed to create a face of Harley and then there was a text, saying 'Thank You'.
Ajax smiled after seeing that. But when he looked back at Harley's face, his heart skipped a beat. She stood there silently, with a big warm smile on her face. But her eyes were flooded with tears as they slid down and fell down from her cheeks. Her mascara had become so smudgy that her eyes looked like panda eyes now.
She kept on staring at the fireworks and hearing various voices as they warmed her heart.
Then she suddenly turned her face to Ajax, her eyes still tearing up, but they looked so much prettier now.
She stared into his eyes for a whole 30 seconds. Then she smiled widely and softly whispered, "Harleen Frances Quinzel says thank you..."
