Work Text:

"Oh, won't you ever grow up?" Selina interrupted Harley's gaming session – and her godawful interpretation of Cat Stevens.

"In the middle of it!" the girl chirped. "And y'know what? I've chosen Maude as my spiritual leader."

"Who?"

"Maude! Y'know, the lovely old lady from Harold and Maude. I adore her."

"Ah, you want to seduce twenty-year-olds when you're eighty?"

"She was seventy-nine..."

"So you do?" Selina's palm would like to acquaint itself with her forehead for the fiftieth time that day. "Why am I even surprised?"

"Chill, kitty. I'll seduce no one but Mr. J."

"I don't know what's worse..."
