The Clown Prince and the Jester

4 hours later

Ben was coming out of his comatose as his eyes shot open he began to recall the last things that happened which was getting hit by a blunt instrument

Ben: "WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"

???:"Well well well look puddin our little friend is up"the feminine

Ben: "Who are you?" Ben asked

The woman stepped out into the light she was dressed like a jester

Ben: "Oh it's just you" Ben said "Let me guess you and Smiles are gonna use me to lure Batman" Ben then yawned "Man look i got a diner to run i don't have time for this crap"

???: "sorry boyo but you arn't getting out soon i need you for my punch line"

Ben: "I'm guessing your the joker *raising an eyebrow* look smiles your probably saying why i'm not trembling at my knees truth is i was afraid of clowns when i was 10 but i faced worst plus the clown i face was a vampire of sorts so let me go and we all walk away from this" Ben offered

Joker stepped out in his usual purple tuxedo "is that a threat?"

Ben: "It's a promise but you know your name suits you it's what you are a joke you yourself is the punchline" this got joker pissed

Joker: "Why don't we put a smile on that face?" Joker said pulling out a spray bottle

Harley: "Oh oh puddin i want to see"

Joker: "QUITE HARLEY!" He yelled as he slaps Harley which was hard enough to send her on the floor

Ben was seething in the chair but he can't do anything JUST yet he didn't want to reveal his secret identity

Ben: "HEY CUT THAT OUT YOU CREEP WHAT YOU GET OFF AT HITTING GIRLS HUH?!" Ben was slowly filling with rage

Joker laughed: "Whatever she was annoying and needed to know her place now for you" He sprayed the bottle on Ben

Ben started coughing and gagging: "Dude what is this stuff? It reeks"

Joker was taken aback: "B-but that's impossible my joker venom always works except on me"

Ben went wide eyed he remembered the fail safe in the omnitrix was upgrade to instead of cleaning out poisons,toxins or harmful chemicals it blocks it out all together

Ben: "Um I don't know formula probably not strong enough"

Just then an explosion happened an it was a man in a black suit that resembled a Bat he had a yellow belt and was that...underwear on the outside?

Ben in thought: "This must be Batman and if so while joker is busy i can turn into Heatblast and burn the ropes and I hopefully can get Harley out of here"

While Batman was fighting Joker and his goons Ben turned into Heatblast an alien made out of magma with 2 front toes and 1 back toe  and had 4 fingers with the Omnitrix symbol on his chest after burning the ropes he turned back to normal he snuck up on Harley and quickly put his hands on her mouth to shush her and and quickly and quietly dragged her out back and let go of her mouth

Harley who got into fighting stance: "What's the deal bub?!" She yelled after suddenly being dragged like that

Ben raised his arms: "Whoa whoa look i'm trying to help you" they both relaxed "look you need to get away from that manipulative abuser"

Harley got offendes: "ABUSER MISTAH J LOVES ME AND I LOVE HIM!!" She yelled she then tried to punch Ben but he grabbed it thanking Rook for teaching martial arts and going to defense classes

Ben: "IF HE LOVED YOU WHY DID YOU SLAP YOU" that cause Harley to back up a bit "Love is when someone is kind,compassionate and loving and makes sure to put you before anyone else you are suppose to be the FIRST thing on their mind" Ben retorted "That is not love that he showed"

Harley looked at him and began to tear up "N-no he loves me he said so h-h-" she collapsed on her knees

Ben:"when was the last time he put you before himself?" That really struck Harley as she started recalling all the things Joker did to her from kicking her out a window to always leaving her behind to get arrested...she broke she just cried and cried..until Ben gave her a hug

Ben: "I know I know but accepting it is the first step" Ben tried comforting her

Harley: "*sniff* why are you helping me?"Questioned the jester

Ben: "I'll explain everything but first let's get back to my house before tall,dark and gruesome finds us and arrests you"The teen hero suggested

"Oh and one more thing" he said as he was engulfed in a green light and standing in his place was a feline like creature who had a black and blue color schemed jumpsuit like skin

And had a lightning pattern with 2 horns that resembled a lightning bolt

It was Fasttrack one of Ben's fastest aliens

Harley stared in awe

Fasttrack:"i'll explain everything later i promise" The speedster alien said "But for now let's go home" he picked up Harley bridal style and her face turned cherry red

Harley: "H-hey you better buy me dinner first bub" Fasttrack chuckled and ran home which took only 1 second

Ben: "here we are"

*Timeskip because i'm lazy and after 1 LONG explanation of who he is where he came from what the Omnitrix is and his accomplishments and explaining Ship and Zed*

Harley's jaw was practically on the floor

Harley: "So you're from another universe and the greatest hero in it and saved the universe 5-6 times and you've once stop A GODDAMN BIG BANG AND RECREATED THE UNIVERSE?!!" Harley yelled practically pulling out her hair

Ben rubbing the back of his head: "hehe yup pretty much"

Harley: "You do know when Bats finds you he'll force you to give him the watch cause he is has a major case of paranoia right?"Harley asked the teen hero

Ben: "Yup and he can't get it off anyways the thing is latched onto my DNA so i can't take it off not even the creator can also only i can use it so there's that" Ben replied with a shrug "plus i was informed by doctor paradox their identities sooo i can bribe and no i'll leave the reveal for later"Harley pouted

Harley:"You're no fun"joked the jester

*Time skip to tomorrow after talking through the night*

Ben shook Harley awake "Wake up Harls"

Harley: "5 more minutes"The jester pleaded going back to snoring

Ben: "we're going shopping today you need new clothes" Ben told her

That got Harley's attention she shot up and began to run to get ready

30 minutes later

Harley: "Ready to go Ben" The Jester enthusiastically said to the Teen hero

Ben:"Ok let's go"

3 hours later

Ben: "Did you really have to buy so much" the teen hero asked while carrying 10 bags of clothing

Harley: "come on Benny i may be a phychopath but girls gotta shop"

Ben signed: "It's alright i guess just go easy on me I may have some millions left but come on also before i forget you'll be working at my diner"

Harley: "Yeah yeah how hard can it be?"

Ben: "you clearly never met a karen like seriously lad-" The teen hero was cut off by an explosion followed by a collapsing building "I got my work cut out for me huh?" Said the shapeshifting hero sarcastically he then gave the bags to Harley"Get to saftey i'll handle it" he ordered Harley nodded and took off

Ben quickly ran towards the source of the commotion and saw a robotic villain creating tornados and to the side a group of unconscious teens

Ben: "IT'S HERO TIME!!" Yelled the teen hero as he was engulfed in a green light
