DISCLAIMERS
1. This is a fan fiction based on characters owned by DC Comics. I DO NOT OWN THEM. This is just for fun.
2. This is a femmslash story. If you don't like that sort of thing, you won't like this.
Selina clung to Zatanna like her life depended on it... and as far as Selina was concerned, that might as well have been the case.
With Ivy down, the vines and leaf had instantly gone limp, making it easy for Selina to free her wife. She hugged the magician, stroking her hair. "Zee... tell me you're alright... " Zatanna could only return the embrace, breathing heavily.
Black Canary - otherwise known as Dinah Gordon-Lance - looked at the couple, then at the two villainesses, who by now where bound on the floor. Ivy's nose was bloody from Dinah's kick. Dinah looked back at the Kyle-Zataras. "Is she OK?"
Selina did not answer, instead focusing on her beloved. "Zee, please... say something."
Slowly, Zatanna looked up. "Leaf... weakened... " she murmered. Selina gasped, and looked at the leaf that had been keeping the magician from speaking. Having worked alongside Ivy in the past - a thought that made her shiver - Selina realised the leaf, as well as keeping her silent, must have been drugged enough to keep Zatanna from fighting back.
Dinah glanced at the Huntress, who had arrived shortly after the blonde. "Selina... ?" Huntress asked.
"I... I think she'll be fine," Selina eventually answered, resting her forehead against Zatanna's. She then heard a whine below her, and looked down to see Isis approuch. Selina stroked her longtime companion. "Thank you for saving your Mommy," she whispered. Isis leaned into her Momma's touch, purring lovingly. Selina turned to Dinah and Huntress. "How did you know?"
Dinah folded her arms. "Well, I heard from Barbara that Ivy and Harley had escaped. I thought it was only right that I came to... well, to warn you."
"And once Barbara knew where Dinah was going, and told me, I thought I'd drop by too," added Huntress. "But I guess we were too late."
Selina smiled slightly. "Thank you," she said, before returning her attention to Zatanna. "I love you... " she whispered. She did not like showing her real emotions infront of others, but right now, she was having trouble stifling herself over her concern for Zatanna. Meanwhile, Isis went closer to her parents.
Dinah stared at them. After a few moments, she looked at Huntress. "I... we need to go. Now." Her tone was dead serious.
Huntress frowned. "OK... but you'll have to carry one of 'em to GPD." She looked down at Harley and a murmuring Ivy, who was starting to come around.
Dinah clenched her teeth. "Selina, can Zatanna 'magic' them away?"
Selina looked at her darling. Zatanna took a breath. "Can't... focus... "
"It's OK," said Selina, stroking her beloved's cheek.
Dinah gave a sigh, a move that made Huntress blink. "Alright." Dinah then leant down and picked up Harley, heaving her over her shoulder. "You take Ivy," she said to Huntress. Before her fellow Bird of Prey could respond, the blonde went to the open doorway to the outside porch and disappeared into the night.
"What's up with her?" Huntress mused. She looked at the green-skinned redhead. "Good thing the boss gave me a bag." Huntress went to her utility belt and removed a small white square, which instantly enlarged with contact with the air into a body-sized antiseptic bag. Huntress then began the process of putting Ivy inside it.
Meanwhile, Selina lifted Zatanna off the chair and into her arms, bridal style. As the former thief took her wife to their bedroom, she spoke back to Huntress. "Don't seal her head."
Once inside their room, Selina slowly lowered Zatanna onto their bed. She knelt down to her lover and started planting quick kisses on her mouth. "I love you," she said between them. "Tell me you're alright... "
Zatanna gave a weak smile. "Maybe... if you let me breathe... "
A smile crept on Selina's face as a tear trickled down her cheek. "I'll be back in a minute, OK... ?" She gave her wife a deep kiss. "I love you... " she repeated.
Selina returned to the lounge, wiping her cheek dry before Huntress could see. "Is she awake?" she asked after clearing her throat.
Huntress looked at Ivy, who was in the protective covering upto her neck. "Looks it."
Selina knelt down until she was level with the sitting redhead. "By dose... ib's broken... " Ivy slurred, as the blood from her nose began to dry.
Selina looked at Ivy, pure hatred filling her. "You think I'm all goody-two-shoes, now... " The ex-thief popped her right-hand claws, her eyes never leaving the redhead's. "This is a warning... if you come after my wife again... "
