With a strange sound, Harley Quinn's head, flattened into a pancake by Darkseid's punch, sprang back into shape like a sponge soaking up water.
Her eyeballs, dangling in midair, zipped back into their sockets.
Her neck snapped back into shape too.
The absurd sight made Darkseid pause. Confusion flickered in his eyes.
"Ha! My turn!!"

But Harley was no longer there.
She stood beside him, holding an enormous
