Breaking away from Joker had been the most liberating moment in Harley Quinn's criminal career. She was finally free now, able to sleep easy without having to worry about getting used as a punching bag by Joker because he was in a bad mood, or having to finger herself to sleep because she was insanely frustrated and that Joker was too fucking stupid to realize that he had a psychotic hottie right next to him ready to suck his dick at a moment's notice.
No, Harley Quinn was done being Joker's punching bag/scapegoat to get beat up Batman. Now she was her own woman capable of making her own path in life, and that path will lead her to being Gotham's first A-list female supervillain!
There was only one problem...she was dirt broke and was living with her best friend Poison Ivy with little more than her two pet hyenas and her signature spiked bat she brought with her. Getting to the top would be enormously expensive and Harley didn't realize that Joker pretty much had tons of money, goons and disposable vehicles at his command as he repeatedly turned Gotham into a city that Detroit would look at from afar and go "fuck that".
So, after a quick wardrobe change and a little pep talk from Ivy about not getting herself killed or ending up as yet another psychopath's cum dumpster, Harley set off for some million dollar pocket change. Thankfully, she had a lead to go on, from the Penguin himself.
Back when she was with Joker, she overheard the two talking about some secret fortune that belonged to a former associated of Penguin, who accumulated thousands upon thousands of dollars in gold and jewels and had stashed them in the heart of Gotham Cemetery. Penguin was a little drunk when he revealed that tidbit, but no one said anything. Joker always said that he'd get to finding it, but he never did, and it was only recently that Harley remembered about this so-called buried treasure.
"This better be fucking worth it." Harley grumbled as she trudged through the dark cemetery all alone. It was deathly quiet, and the sounds of the city were almost muted as she walked deeper into the admittedly creepy place. "I mean, who the hell hides an entire fortune in a fucking cemetery? Honestly, if I end up as Grundy's cocksleeve by the end of this night, I'm blowin' up a crowded school bus!"
The pale skinned beauty had ditched her old outfit for something a bit more rebellious and sexy. She still had her familiar attire of black and red coloring to match her long, pigtail-styled hair with the tips dual toned, with a tight corset top that showed off her nicely sized tits perfectly and displayed her toned midriff while also rocking tiny booty shorts that hung to her rounded ass and thigh high socks with sneakers. Harley hadn't felt so sexy in ages.
Unfortunately for Harley, walking through a cemetery in the middle of the night wearing nothing but a corset and booty shorts probably wasn't the best idea. It was cold, breezy, and she knew she was going to get sick come morning. Never mind how creepy it was just being here alone. At least she didn't have to worry about Batman.
"Maybe I should've brought Ivy along." Harley muttered, eyes scanning the various crypts and tombs for the sign she was looking for. "She could sniff out that treasure easy. Save me lots of time."
According to Penguin, all she had to look for was a crypt with an upside down cross over the entrance. Easier said than done since half the crosses in the
damn cemetery were old and broken, making her job more difficult. At least she knew what general area to search for the place; a part of the cemetery where Gotham's oldest and wealthiest bury their dead. Maybe if she played her cards right, she might see where she where the Waynes are buried.
"Where the hell do I start first?" Harley mumbled. Even this part of the cemetery was large thanks to the unreasonably large amount of dead rich white people that Gotham shells out every year. "It's gonna take me all night to find the damn pla-oh look, there it is!"
As she was ranting, Harley had, by dumb luck or divine grace, spotted a very old crypt just a few feet from her. The crypt itself looked very old, to the point of crumbling, but that upside down cross was visible to Harley's hungry eyes.
"Fuck yeah!" Harley cheered and ran over to the crypt, ramming her shoulder into the rusty old door that completely crumbled from her weight. She hit the ground and landed hard on her shoulder. "Ow."
Harley got to her feet and ran over to the large stone coffin in the middle of the crypt. She kicked it a few times to see if there was any fancy change inside, but she couldn't hear anything. Which meant that this thing was either really thick or there was nothing inside. The lid was sealed shut and there was no way she was going to be able to get it off by herself.
Harley huffed and put her hands on her waist, trying to think of a solution to this problem. If she couldn't get this dusty old treasure chest open right here, then there was only one thing to do.

"Harley."
"Yeah?"
"What the fuck is this?"
The question came from Harley's newly inducted sidekick, Punchline. She, like Harley, was a stunning beauty with pale skin and black hair tied back in a high ponytail. Punchline wore a light purple bodysuit that hugged her curvaceous figure and a tight black leather dress with black thigh high boots. She also wore some clown makeup to match Harley's clown motif.
Punchline was Harley's new partner (sidekick), her second in command to her rise to the big leagues. She started out as a college girl who was a serious fangirl of Joker and Harley, enough so that she was willing to use laughing gas on her own principal to show her dedication to the mad clown's mayhem. When Harley broke away from Joker, she poached Punchline before Joker could sweep her up and now she was rolling with Quinn as her personal assassin, the "worse" cop to Harley's "bad" cop. The scary bitch Harley called in to teach people a lesson.
At the moment, Punchline was glaring down at the massive coffin siting in the middle of their living room that Poison Ivy had graciously loaned to them inside her plant infested apartment building.
"That, Punchy, is our payday." Harley said, grinning at her sidekick over her shoulder.
"What? Grave robbing? I know we're broke, but didn't expect us to be scraping the bottom this fast." Punchline said.
"For your information I was looking for Penguin's secret stash that he hid in the cemetery." Harley said pouting.
