American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

313. The Prison Arena.

"Hah!"

On the arena stage, Harley Quinn threw a heavy punch, forcing Lois back. She turned, preparing to deliver a finishing kick to end the fight. However, what she didn't expect was for Lois to withstand the heavy blow and counter with an uppercut to her cheek.

"Oh, nice uppercut! Where'd you learn that?"

Harley took two steps back, touching the spot where she was hit, her eyes full of amusement. For her, this level of combat was almost like child's play. But encountering someone like Lois, who had pretty decent fighting skills, was still quite interesting.

"I grew up in the military, remember?"

Lois didn't dare relax, keeping her fighting stance.

She knew exactly how dangerous the crazy woman in front of her was. Harley Quinn, one of Batman's nemeses and one of the most dangerous prisoners in Blackgate Penitentiary, was now the leader of the Suicide Squad.

"Hahaha, then I guess I'll take this a bit more seriously~"

Harley Quinn stuck out her tongue and laughed as she lunged at Lois.

In an instant, the roles reversed. Lois, under Harley Quinn's quick and relentless attacks, had almost no ability to fight back, barely managing to block by relying on her reflexes.

"Go, boss!"

"Beat her up, boss! Take her down!"

"Come on, boss!"

Down below, countless prisoners were cheering for Harley Quinn. Meanwhile, Alex and his group slowly moved closer through the crowd.

At first, the prisoners were curious about who had the audacity to push their way forward. But when they saw Red Hood, Nightwing, and Robin (Damian) fully geared up, they immediately fell silent and parted to make way.

If one were to count, two-thirds of the people in this prison had been put here by the Bat-family. Those who had faced them before knew just how dangerous they were. With the notable criminals staying quiet, no one else dared to cause trouble.

"Lois is about to lose," Jason said softly, watching the situation unfold on the stage.

"Of course, our boss's strength is well known," interjected a burly man with a scruffy beard, holding a drink. However, as he turned, he seemed surprised. "Hey, buddy, you look familiar."

Jason frowned, noticing the boomerang hanging from the man's belt, but chose to ignore him.

"It looks like Lois is trying to prove herself through force," Alex said with a smile, watching the two women fighting in the arena.

"Her skills are good, but she's still far from being able to beat Harley Quinn. Let me go play with her," Jason said, stepping forward. However, he was quickly stopped by the bearded man.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, man. This isn't for you."

"I remember you—Captain Boomerang, right? Here's some advice: if you don't want to die, get out of my way," Jason said, his voice full of impatience.

"Jason, Captain Boomerang is right. Blackgate has its own rules. We shouldn't interfere. Besides, this seems like a fight between the ladies," Dick added as he approached.

As they continued discussing, Lois and Harley Quinn had already exchanged several moves in the arena.

Seeing that she couldn't finish off Lois quickly, Harley suddenly pulled two defibrillators from behind her. Originally medical equipment, she pressed the switches, and in the next moment, bright electric sparks crackled from the paddles.

"You've got to be kidding me," Lois raised an eyebrow, her expression instantly turning serious.

"This is a special surprise, just for you!" Harley Quinn laughed maniacally.

Seeing this, Clark couldn't hold back any longer. If it had just been a fistfight, that was one thing. But Harley pulling out weapons clearly went beyond the realm of simple combat.

Clark wasn't about to let Lois get hurt. He had been injected with liquid Kryptonite before, but now he had regained his powers. There was no way he would just stand by and watch. But someone was faster than him. Just as Clark prepared to float up to the arena, a black figure leaped into the air, flying across the stage and landing on the platform.

"I love fighting. Mind if I join in?"

A slender figure landed steadily—it was none other than Ashley.

She glanced at Lois and Harley Quinn in front of her, smiling slightly. "Both of you can come at me together. Don't worry, I won't go all out."

Seeing this, Clark was stunned and looked at Alex, confused.

Alex just shrugged helplessly. "This kid has always loved hanging out with gang members. She's really into these 'whoever's the strongest is the boss' type of things."

"Harley Quinn isn't easy to deal with. Will she be alright?" Damian asked, eyeing Ashley's small and seemingly frail body.

"Heh, she could handle ten of you without a problem," Jason said, crossing his arms. He knew Ashley's combat strength well and was fully aware of the incredible power this seemingly fragile girl could unleash.

Meanwhile, the other prisoners watching the scene cheered even louder.

If a man had stepped into the ring, they'd have booed him off without hesitation. But if a girl came up? That was a whole different story. They loved watching women fight—the more, the better.

"Hey, little girl, it's dangerous here. Get down," Lois, who had her back to Ashley, hadn't seen how she got into the ring.

"I'm not a little girl, ma'am," Ashley grinned, then looked at Harley Quinn, her eyes filled with battle spirit. "I heard that if I beat you, I can become the boss here?"

"Of course, sweetheart. You wanna try?" Harley Quinn giggled, the defibrillators in her hands crackling with electricity.

"No, wait, Harley Quinn! We have an agreement!" Lois quickly interrupted.

The reason Lois was here in the first place was to seek the help of the Blackgate faction. With the Boom Tube to Apokolips now being guarded by the 'traitor' Luthor, she needed these people to help her storm Luthor's fortress.

For these prisoners, it didn't matter where they fought, as everyone knew the Earth was on the brink of destruction. That's why Harley had set up the arena: if Lois Lane could beat her, she'd agree to help launch the attack.

But now, everything had been interrupted by Ashley.

"Take this!"

Harley Quinn didn't care about agreements or deals; she charged straight at Ashley, who was a head shorter than her.

"Good!" Ashley didn't unleash her full strength. After all, both of her opponents were ordinary humans, and she just wanted to have some fun with them.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of moves. Although Harley Quinn seemed to have the upper hand, anyone watching could tell that they weren't even on the same level.

Ashley handled Harley's attacks with ease, holding back her true strength. She even kept critiquing Harley's combat techniques the entire time.

"Too slow! My gosh, do you even know how to fight? Who taught you these moves? My grandma could hit harder than you! Your moves are so weak and slow, I'm about to fall asleep here, you know?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Harley Quinn, infuriated by Ashley's constant chatter, became even more frenzied in her attacks.

"If this is your best, I'm going to be really disappointed."

Ashley shifted her footing and suddenly lunged into Harley's chest, knocking her back several steps. Then, with a swift motion, she chopped down on Harley's wrists, disarming her of the crackling defibrillators.

"Oh! What incredible strength!"

Harley Quinn rubbed her slightly sore wrists, staring in surprise at the much younger girl. Her eyes were filled with delight. Then, she turned her head and looked at Lois, who had yet to make a move.

"Hey, lady, remember our agreement? If you want my help, give me a hand!"
