“Dr. Crane?”

The professor’s session had ended and impatiently Harley, now a young psychology student, had waited for the crowds to leave. She had a really important question and couldn’t use any other person sticking their nose in. Not now, and not ever. Crane was a well respected doctor around campus, and certainly one with a good reputation. And so, it was important to make him an acquaintance. Only then could she finally get an internship at Arkham, where the real challenges awaited.

“If you don’t mind? Do you have a minute?~”

And if he didn’t have a minute she’d take a minute. With all the false modesty in her heart, Harleen offered the doctor a fake but convincing polite smile.

Send ★ for a talent headcanonSelina looks super classy, like she only eats the finest food and listens to the finest music, but the one thing she's super good at is singing hair metal songs.  Like, lady's got a range and that's her favorite thing to use it with.  Sometimes she'll disguise herself and go to karaoke bars to show off, because that's who she is.

Send ❄ for an AU headcanonSelina would be the head of an all female pirate ship, taking down the navy and freeing slave ships.

Send ⌆ for a fight headcanonSelina's main method of fighting is "stay far enough back to use your whip and then leave", but if she does have to fight, she fights dirty.  She is absolutely a member of the "claw eyes, pull hair, jump on kneecaps" school of fighting and she will basically do whatever will cause the most damage to her opponent.

Send ♡ for a friendship headcanonSelina has never actually been able to make many real friends, but since she's something of an introvert, it's never really bothered her.  She does, however, have Maven, her assistant who basically organizes her entire life and keeps her on track.  Between her and Holly, those are about the only real friends Selina says she has.

Send ♥ for a romance/sex headcanonSelina isn't really big on romance.  She likes little bits of romantic-type things, like sitting together quietly or spending some time together, but she's never really had much of a desire for a romantic life.  She's very content to be on her own and remain that way.

Send ✜ for a fear headcanonSelina's biggest fear is being controlled.  The idea that something could happen to her to make her unable to control her own life is horrifying to her, and has definitely colored many of her relationships with people, especially romantic ones.

feardriveseverything replied to your post:Be honest, how many cats do you own?

"There is help out there, you know. Many psychologists specialize in compulsive hoarding."

"Scarecrow, shouldn't you be back at... Arkham?" she asked the man, her eyes started to narrow under her hood, fearing that he's going to harm the innocent people around.

… LEAVES THE WORLD BLIND, MATI. THAT’S THE REST OF THAT SAYING.

*Ahem.*

Pros!

Let me put this in chemist’s terms. Fear causes a release of adrenaline. Sex causes a release of dopamine. Adrenaline + dopamine? Commonly thought to be the major causes of feeling ‘in love’. All the soap operas tell me that makes it better.

Isn’t fear yellow? I’m yellow. Common ground. Chemistry.

I could see if you really did have a stick up your ass. It’s for science, Scarecrow! You’re a man of science, right?

Cons!

Might risk breaking him. Like, clean in half.

Get to business, discover he really is made of straw. Disappointment and cold showers ensue.

Selina dropped through the roof with the emaciated cat in her arms. It was someone's housepet that had either run away or been abandoned. Poorly suited to caring for itself, it had not regressed to its wild state that cats could so easily return to. Rather, it had simply suffered.

Selina wrapped the cat in warm blankets and prepared some food for it, returning quickly. Holding the cat, she sat on the couch, checking it for injuries.

"You frigging look like Scarecrow," she chuckled, rubbing the cat's head as it ate ravenously. "Hopefully you're a bit more grateful, though."

Now that wasn't fair. Scarecrow could be grateful. Sometimes. She smiled a little, shaking her head.
