He smiled a bit and shook his head. She really was protective of Izzy, good. That meant if Izzy ever got in trouble that he couldn't save her from then he had someone he could count on. Sure Mel wouldn't be his first choice for back up but when it came to Izzy it meant he could count on her to get her to safety.
"Izzy is in no danger from me. I like to think we go together well. Well as well as a plant and an animal can."
He said with a shrug. Sure he knew they simply weren't perfect together. That much was true. If anything they should prove a terrible couple. Yet they got along amazingly well. Sure they met under terrible circumstances and he gave her what couldn't even generously be considered a choice. Join him as his assistant and in his gang and she got out of jail. Naturally she was smart and saw a way out and took it. Admittedly the incredible pay check was also a nice touch. But now they were incredibly close, likely more than friends, or would be soon enough.
"Only one corset? Sounds to me like a woman of your stature needs a wider variety in her closet. But I suppose we make due with what we can. Then again, we take the work put in front of us."
He said with a smile. He knew he couldn't come out and tell her that the Joker was all wrong for her. Melody would instantly reject the notion and shut down. No, just like the one before her she needed to come to that thought on her own. So far though, there wasn't much in her head to make her think that. It'd take time and being an immortal he had nothing but.
"Although I am curious about this Stealth suit. What exactly makes it, well, stealth? Some sort of light absorbing material? Cloaking? Anything like that?"
He already knew the answer. Her stealth suit, if he had to guess, was something tight and easy to move in that made no sound. Most likely black, or at least dark in color. But if she wanted a true stealth suit he could make something like that happen.

The smiling was still bugging Melody. Was there anything this guy wouldn't smile about? She didn't like it. It made her feel like she was just doing what he wanted, and she didn't want to do that. Just once, she wanted to do something that would throw this guy. "Well I'll be keeping an eye on you!" Melody said, narrowing her eyes.
Melody was pretty sure he didn't want to hurt Izzy, however. Only partly because he knew she'd shove Beast somewhere unpleasant and pull the trigger. She got the impression that this guy, Max, did properly care about her. But, from the stories he'd told, of the guy he'd mutilated and that guy and his poor daughter, Melody was worried. She liked Max, and she might even trust him with some stuff, but she didn't think she'd trust him with her best friend.
"I only got one corset...." Melody said warily. Josie had only given her one complete set of the Harley Quinn costume. Although, it was pretty much bulletproof, dirt proof, and it was machine washable, so really, she only needed the one. It just meant she had to be careful in times like these to not show more than she'd want and to get it repaired as soon as she could. It was surprisingly difficult to repair an armoured piece of clothing. But still, machine-washable, so totally worth it. "Do I need more than one?"
Melody paused and bit her lip as he asked about the stealth suit. Well, she thought it was cool, but she was suddenly worried that he'd think it was dumb. She knew Josie would, and she'd get called stupid for it. But it was cool, wasn't it? "Oh you know..." Melody said, faking brightness, "Just something really sneaky."

"Lucky you."
He said with a laugh in regards to her saying she'd keep an eye on him. He welcomed her to try but he got good at evading and avoiding people watching him. The only one who knew most of where he was was Izzy, primarily because she scheduled his meetings. However the only issue he had was that he preferred to go on his own on occasion. Like now. But she had her own things she did as well. When she did her eco-terrorist style crimes. He was all for it, just hoped she didn't get busted. That was the last thing he wanted to explain to the media and share holders. He might have to fire her, that could really hinder their relationship.
"More than one? Well of course. You should always have a variety. I mean what if one gets too badly damaged, lost or stolen? You going to go out in jeans and a T-shirt? Kinda hard to strike fear in civilians and heroes. You could just be a terrible cosplayer."
He said nodding his head. He finished his ice cream and leaned back in his chair placing his feet up on the table. He was comfortable and knew it was risky for a couple reasons. Although primarily because he could fall back and take out the whole ice cream shop. He liked this shop, it was one of the few with the flavors he liked.
"You definitely need more. I say mention it to your Joker. I mean you pull your own weight right? You work hard to do...whatever it is she does. Hell, how many purple suits does she have?"
He opted against calling them ugly or tacky, even though they were. Sure it was one thing to wear purple, the whole clown thing he got. But they were so ugly and tacky. Sure he often dressed like the King of Hearts, but still, he did it with some style and pinash. Not to mention he also had a variety of suits to wear depending on his mood. But then again the Joker was never known for her style, despite what she might want to believe.
"A sneaky suit eh? Something along the lines of stealth? Stealth is always important. SO tell me about it, what can it do? Blend into the shadows, hide your thermal signature? I know there are some suits that actually work to make you nearly invisible, even heard rumors of one that hides you from whatever is viewing it in any form. But that's still a rumor."

Yep, Maximus did seem just way too confident for Melody's liking. A nice, friendly sort of confident, but far too sure of himself for Melody to be entirely happy with Izzy hanging around with him. Melody had always liked to think of Izzy being surrounded with guys who were scared of her and looked up to her. Not smarmy guys who were all smug and handsome and knew what they were doing, and especially not ones who threatened Izzy. "Sure...Lucky me," She said warily. She was definitely going to have to make sure he didn't do anything.
Melody felt her cheeks going red as he said that she should have more than one like it was obvious. She hadn't thought so. It had always suited her, just having one. "Well uh, if it gets damaged, I usually just wear my stealth suit until it's fixed," So far that had only happened a couple of times. Maybe she should think about getting a backup suit. Or at least a backup corset. She didn't know how much Josie would want her asking that, however. She didn't want to get yelled at or worse, and she doubted her Joker would like being asked for something like another bulletproof costume. "I could strike fear in jeans and t-shirt if I really tried. And cosplay is for nerds." She giggled slightly at the thought of the Avengers running away from her in simple shirts and jeans. It was a funny picture.
Melody sucked in her cheeks slightly as she felt the blush spread as he asked about her suit. She didn't really know how to answer his questions without outright lying or making herself look stupid. "It's just uh....really super sneaky," She said, nodding quickly. Josie was always telling her what a bad liar she was, and her Joker was right. Unless she was getting into a part, Melody really could't lie. "Maybe I'm not going to give away the details." Yeah, that was an answer that worked. Rather than telling him that it was just a leotard. Maybe she should invest in a super-stealthy suit that made her invisible.

She didn't seem to like him and that was fine with him. He wasn't here to become 'besties' with her. He was here to plant a few seeds of discontent in her mind. Sure he knew that if Joker found out he'd be in trouble. But it would only be a minor set back anyways. He wasn't too concerned about the Joker. She was an annoyance and the villain flavor of the month. Soon enough her little Injustice League would fizzle out and they could move on to the next big threat. Would it be him? Possibly, but unlikely. As it stood he was still without a complete gang. But not for long. He had a few potential members in his sights. Melody wasn't one but using her friendship with Izzy she could do as a Ten in a pinch.
He felt like she was beginning to have a few doubts. Primarily because she seemed reluctant to admit to anything. It was possible he was reading too much into this conversation, but that couldn't happen.
"Oh I don't doubt that you could strike fear in jeans and a T-shirt but what's the fun? But then again I've been accused of being overly dramatic."
He said with a laugh. Izzy often told him he was being too dramatic and going over board. But he had a sense of showmanship. One of the few things he and Joker had in common. If it's worth doing it's worth doing grand. He smiled as she suddenly became evasive about the stealth suit. If he had to guess at this point it was likely just a darker simple costume. A more classic harlequin/jester suit. Not a bad start but of course he could be wrong. Joker wasn't an idiot. She had access, somehow, to pretty heavy duty tech and chemicals.
"Well Miss Melody, I'm afraid we must end this conversation, for now."
He said standing up and brushing any potential crumbs from the cone off himself.
"I'm sure we'll speak again, real soon. Take care now."
He said with a smile and a wink before slowly strolling out of the shop.
