The Crimson Canary massacre:
Category: Uncategorized

The velvet rope felt surprisingly soft under Harley Quinn's gloved hand. "The Crimson Canary," the sign glittered, promising a night of opulent sin. Perfect. This wasn't exactly her usual haunt, but tonight required a touch of class… before the chaos ensued, of course.

She adjusted the crimson sequined dress that barely contained her mischievous grin. It was low-cut, backless, and screamed "expensive trouble," exactly the message she wanted to send. The bouncer, a mountain of a man with a face like granite, barely blinked as she sauntered past, the scent of her perfume, a heady mix of rose and something distinctly more dangerous, lingering in the air.

Inside, the Crimson Canary was a sensory overload. Chandeliers dripped with crystals, casting a warm glow on the plush velvet booths and the polished dance floor. Men in tailored suits and women dripping in jewels lounged, their laughter echoing through the room. This was Rico "The Raven" Ravelli's kingdom, a gilded cage built on stolen dreams and broken bones. And tonight, Harley was here to dismantle it.

Her target was information. The Raven had dirt on the Justice League’s hidden locations, valuable intel that her partner would pay handsomely for. Straightforward assassination wouldn't cut it. She needed to squeeze the information out of him, and Harley had a particular set of persuasive techniques.

She started her game with practiced ease. At the bar, she ordered a champagne cocktail, the bubbles mirroring the effervescent danger bubbling inside her. A man with slicked-back hair and a gold watch the size of a small car approached her.

"Lonely, doll?" he purred, his eyes raking over her.

Harley batted her eyelashes, her smile saccharine sweet. "Just admiring the… ambiance," she drawled, tilting her head. "It's all so… decadent."

Within minutes, she had him wrapped around her little finger. His name was Tony, and he was apparently a high-roller, eager to impress. She let him buy her drinks, feigning interest in his boring stories about stock options and yachts. All the while, her eyes scanned the room, searching for Ravelli.

He finally appeared, a shadow emerging from a private room. The Raven was a hawk-faced man, his eyes sharp and calculating behind his expensive spectacles. He moved with a predatory grace, and even across the room, Harley could feel the weight of his power.

Time to move.

She excused herself from Tony, leaving him sputtering about her "unpredictable charm." As she walked towards Ravelli, she bumped "accidentally" into another man, sending his drink splashing down his pristine white shirt.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" she gushed, her voice dripping with false remorse. He was younger than Tony, more muscular, and instantly smitten. Within moments, she had charmed him too, promising to "make it up to him" with a dance.

Harley’s dance was a whirlwind of seductive energy. She moved with a wild abandon, teasing and tantalising, leaving her partner breathless and utterly captivated. Each dance was a silent countdown, a step closer to her target. With each partner, the smiles turned a little wider, the laughter a little more manic, the dance moves a little more… deadly.

Beneath the sequined dress, her fingers tightened around the small, ornate derringer strapped to her thigh. The moment was fast approaching.

Finally, she was close enough to Ravelli. He watched her, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He clearly thought he knew the game. He was wrong.

As her current partner spun her around, she caught Ravelli’s gaze and winked. Then, with a guttural scream, she whipped out the derringer and shot her partner in the head.

The room erupted in chaos. Screams pierced the air as bodies scrambled for cover. Harley, however, was in her element. With the agility of a seasoned acrobat, she weaved through the panicked crowd, the derringer spitting death. She took out the guards, the bouncers, anyone who stood between her and The Raven.

The Crimson Canary became a bloodbath. The opulent decor was stained crimson, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and the acrid smell of gunpowder.

Ravelli, surprisingly, didn't run. He stood his ground, his face a mask of controlled fury. "You little psycho," he hissed as Harley approached, the derringer now pointed directly at his head.

"Surprise!" Harley chirped, her voice laced with manic glee. "Now, let's talk about those Justice League locations, shall we? Or maybe we'll just start with your kneecaps. Your choice, cupcake."

She dragged him to his office, the screams of the dying fading behind her. The real fun was about to begin. The torture was gruesome, but effective. With each excruciating detail, Harley got closer to what she wanted. Finally, after hours of work, she got what she needed from him. Laying down, dying, as she walked away.

Harley emerged from the Crimson Canary, leaving behind a scene of carnage. The city lights twinkled above, oblivious to the darkness that had unfolded within. She adjusted her dress, the sequins catching the light. A smear of blood on her cheek only added to her macabre charm.

“Another successful evening,” she said to herself, the corners of her mouth lifting in a satisfied smile. She had the information, the partner would be pleased. And, honestly, she'd had a blast.
