Harley giggled as the fresh air hit her face, rain pouring over her. It felt great! Now she was free, free to go wherever she wanted! Now she could go back to her Mistah- No. she couldn't go back to Joker now, could she? No, not after what she'd done. He'd need a little time to cool off... but where could she go in the meantime? A grin spread over her face. She knew a good place.
A few hours later, she arrived. She'd had to walk most of the way, since her rib was still bandaged up and aching like hell.
She opened the door slowly, and let out a giggle. What if she wasn't here? Boy, would she be in for a surprise when she got home and found her just- WHAM!
A vine shot out and slammed into her side, pinning her up against a wall. Pain screamed through her torso. "Red, it's me, Harley!"
The vines loosened and retreated, and a figure walked up to her. Ivy, her red hair in a mess and a sorry look in her eyes. "Oh my gosh, Harley you scared me! I am so sorry! I heard what happened with you and Joker, are you alright? I was so worried!"
Harley stood and brushed herself off. "Oh, I'm fine Red. You know Mistah J would never hurt me."
Ivy looked at her, an eyebrow raised. She hated conversation like these, they were the only thing she and Harley disagreed on. "Oh really? Because I heard that monster made you miscarry a baby.'
Harley grew angry. She hated when Ivy refused to see things from her point of view. "Don't talk about my Mistah J like that! Yeah he's rough, but sure loves me!"
"Does he really, Harley? When was the last time you heard him say it?!"
"He doesn't need to say it, he just shows me!"
"By throwing you out of windows and abusing you? He hates you! He just uses you for his own needs! How can you be so blind?"
Tears formed in Harley's eyes. "You don't understand, Red! You never do! You know what? I'm gonna go back to him right now!"
"No!" A vine shot out and wrapped around Harley's leg. "I won't let you go back to that monster! You hear me!?"
Ivy was met by a strong kick to the face. "You can't stop me Red!"
The vines began weaving together, making a cage around Harley. " Promise me you won't go back, Harley!"
"Never! Let me out now!"
"Promise!"
"Let me out !"
"Promise!"
"No!"
Tears welled up in Ivy's eyes now. " Please Harley. He is going to kill you one of these days, and I could never live with myself if he hurts you like this again. So please, please promise me Harley."
She was met with silence. Harley was thinking. Ivy sounded so sad, so disparate. Maybe she could promise. Just for tonight, anyway. Tomorrow she would sneak out and go right back with her Mistah J where she belonged.
"I promise."
The vines retreated from around her, and Ivy smiled.
"Good. Now let's get you something to eat."
