Poison Ivy had always know that living on the very outskirts of Gotham with forests bordering two sides of her property meant strange animals would come onto her property. She could handle the smaller animals, no problem. The bigger animals, well that was her plants' or Harley's job. Ivy was working in her greenhouse one night. It was a full moon, which meant there was enough light to work without having to turn on the lights. She heard a noise outside and saw a large animal walking around. It came close to the glass and snarled, allowing Ivy to see its teeth.

"Obviously a carnivore" Ivy said to herself.

She commanded vines to come out of the ground and immobilize the animal. As the vines began to ensnare it, it began tearing them apart with its teeth and claws. The animal slammed its paw against the glass wall and drug its claws down the glass.

"That almost looks like…a hand" Ivy thought.

It was only twenty feet from the greenhouse door to the back door of the house. She walked towards the door. The creature followed her on the outside, staying even with her. Ivy quickly made sure the door was locked and pulled out her cellphone. She pushed number one on speed dial and put the phone to her ear.

"Come on" Ivy whispered as the phone rang.

"Hello?" a tired Harley Quinn said.

"Harl I need you outside, now!" Ivy said.

Harley could tell by Ivy's voice that something was wrong.

"What's goin' on?" Harley asked.

"There's some kind of animal out here" Ivy said "it's big and it has large teeth and claws. It's trying to get in the greenhouse. It ripped my vines apart."

"I'll be right there" Harley said "stay inside."

Ivy hung up and grabbed a shovel. A minute later, the back door opened. Ivy saw Harley walk out with a sawed off double barrel shotgun and a flashlight. She walked towards the greenhouse and gasped when she saw the animal.

"What the hell is that?" She said under her breath "some kinda wolf or something?"

The animal hit the side of the greenhouse again, obviously trying to break the glass. Harley saw the fear in Ivy's eyes, causing her own to become filled with anger.

Harley threw the flashlight at the animal and yelled "HEY! OVER HERE!"

The animal looked at her, snarled and showed its teeth as it approached her. Harley raised the shotgun and fired. The animal took another unsteady step, then fell. It got back up and stood up on two legs.

"The hell?!" Harley yelled.

The animal began approaching her. Harley raised the shotgun and waited until it was only a few feet away and fired again. The animal was thrown back by the blast. Harley lowered the shotgun and smiled at Ivy. The animal started to get up again. Harley quickly opened the barrels on the shotgun and dumped out the empty shells.

"Red! Get inside!" Harley yelled as she put two fresh shells in the shotgun and closed it.

Ivy ran to the house as the animal stood up again. Harley fired again, knocking it back down and followed Ivy into the house. Ivy shut and locked the door as soon as Harley made it inside.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Ivy asked.

"I don't know" Harley said "unless…do we have any silvah?"

"You can't be serious" Ivy said.

"Red, ya saw it take three shotgun blasts and get up" Harley said "I know how it sounds, but if it gets rid a' that thing I'll try it."

"The cabinet in the corner of the kitchen" Ivy said "there are sterling silver forks and knives in it."

Harley ran to the cabinet and grabbed a silver fork. She took a pair of wire cutters out of the kitchen junk drawer and began to cut up the prongs of the fork into small pieces. They heard the animal beating on the door.

"Hurry!" Ivy said.

Harley opened the shotgun's barrels and pulled out the unused shell. She pulled the top of the shell open and dumped out the buckshot. She put the cut up pieces of the fork in the shell and closed the top back up. She put the shell back in the shotgun and closed it.

She walked over and pointed the shotgun at the door and said "open it."

"What if this doesn't work?" Ivy asked.

"Then run like hell" Harley said "one, two, three!"

Ivy pulled the door open and moved to the side. The animal took a step inside before Harley fired. The force of the blast threw it back outside. The animal whimpered and twitched for a few seconds before laying completely still. Harley grabbed the meat cleaver off the counter and slowly approached it. She poked it a few times, then knelt down and put her ear to its chest.

She stood up and said "it's dead."

Ivy hugged her and said "great job, and thanks."

"You're welcome" Harley said.

Suddenly they heard several wolf like howls in the distance.

"Lock the door" Harley said "we gotta get ready."

Ivy shut the door and locked it.

"Got any wolfsbane?" Harley asked.

"You mean aconitum?" Ivy asked.

"Yeah, whatevah" Harley said "got any?"

"I have some in the greenhouse" Ivy said.

"Well, I guess we gotta go back and get it" Harley said.

"What?!" Ivy asked "you want to go back out there with those...things?!"

"No" Harley said "I don't wanna go out there, but we need the wolfsbane. It's now or nevah. Once those things get here, there's no way to get to it. I'll make a few more silvah shells and we'll do it quick. I won't let those things getcha, I promise."

"Ok" Ivy said "I trust you."

Harley quickly cut up the rest of the fork and managed to make three more shells. She loaded the shotgun and said "let's go." She opened the door and stepped outside and looked around.

"Ok, come on" Harley said "stay close."

Harley began running to the greenhouse with Ivy. Once they got inside, Ivy went to the back corner and began grabbing plants. Harley saw another werewolf stalking towards them.

"Time to go!" Harley said "now!"

Ivy began running towards the door with her arms full of plants.

"Go! Go! Go!" Harley said.

Ivy ran to the house Harley was close behind, keeping the shotgun pointed at the approaching animal. She waited just outside the door as the werewolf approached. When it was close enough, she fired both barrels. The animal staggered forward another few steps, then fell. Harley shut the door and locked it, then wedged a chair under the doorknob.

"Can ya make that into a liquid form?" Harley asked.

"Yes" Ivy said.

"Awesome" Harley said "go ahead and get started, I've gotta go get a few things. I might haveta use the rest of the silvah forks and knives."

"If it keeps us alive, I'll make the sacrifice" Ivy said "we stole them anyway."

Harley went to her room and came back with two .45 revolvers, a pump shotgun and several boxes of shotgun shells and hollow point bullets for the .45s and two belts. Harley gathered the rest of the silver forks and began to cut them up. She emptied the buckshot out of the shotgun shells and began to fill them with the pieces of silver forks. Once Ivy had created a liquid version of the wolfsbane. Harley set out several hollow point bullets and grabbed an eyedropper. She used the eyedropper to fill the holes in the top of the bullets with the liquid wolfsbane. She got a candle and carefully dripped hot wax on the top of the bullet to seal the wolfsbane inside.

"What's the point of the wax?" Ivy asked.

"It holds the wolfsbane in the bullet" Harley said "when it hits the animal, the wax seal will break and the wolfsbane'll leak into their bodies. Which should, hopefully, kill 'em."

Harley loaded five silver filled shells into the pump shotgun, pumped it and put a sixth one in. She handed it to Ivy with a belt that had shells all the way around it. She loaded both revolvers with the wolfsbane filled hollow points and put on a belt with the wolfsbane bullets all around it.

She stood next to Ivy with a revolver in each hand and asked "ya ready for this?"

"No" Ivy said "are you?"

"Nope" Harley said "we'll get through it through it though. We just gotta stick togethah."

"Right" Ivy said.
