Harley, despite popular belief, could be very patient when she wanted to be. This wasn't one of those times where she wanted to.
One of the main reasons why this was the case was that due to her 'Puddin' serving a stint in solitary confinement, she wasn't able to tell him the good news that was her new therapy project. Along with that came the anticipation of the letter that was due to show up some time tonight, which she would then have to wait until morning to actually receive. Ivy got the worst of her complaints, though it didn't mean that others were immune to her whines. The pig-tailed blonde was a loud voice to begin with, so her complaining was much worse.
Not everyone could put all blame on her, however. Curiosity nagged at all of them. Jervis and Edward were caught discussing the topic over games of chess, Jonathan listening as he waited his turn to face the winner. He never spoke a word, but he seemed to take in everything being said. When she felt the blonde woman was getting too loud, Ivy would put in her own two cents so Harley could more calmly express her feelings about the whole thing. Even Harvey would give the occasional grumble when asked about his thoughts, though any further questioning would result in a death glare and threat of violence.
Seeing as it is rare for a secret outside of escape routes to remain hidden for long, the staff didn't try to keep the project a secret from the other inmates. They weren't openly discussing it, but doctors would give brief answers to questions asked before getting the therapy sessions back on the patients asking the question.
Harley seemed to calm down as the day continued, right up until dinner time when Jervis questioned when the letters would be arriving. This brought a groan of frustration from the blonde that was quickly followed by a rant of impatience incarnate that succeeded at giving half the room a headache.
The inmates were escorted to their cells with Harley being held in place by two guards, as she had tried to sneak out the cafeteria to see if the mail truck had arrived. It hadn't, but she had wanted to look anyway. As everyone was walked to their cells, one guard in particular was giving all of them a stern look.
The tall and muscular African American man had his arms crossed over his chest, which put his metal hand more into the light than when it had been at his side. The security guard turned to the woman next to him and gave a blunt remark.
"This is a new level of stupid and you know it. Who knows what kind of danger this can create?" The statement got a sigh out of the light-skinned woman next to him, who turned to him with a nod.
"I know, Aaron, but there's nothing I can do. Sharp won't let me get a word in edgewise and no one else seems to care. All we can do is wait and see." Joan Leland remarked, Chief of Security Aaron Cash giving a grunt in response.
"Yeah, because that always leads to something good."
Short, but needed.
Alright, it's official. I will have the letters and the reactions in separate chapters so that I don't have several monster chapters all in a row. Of course, that means there will be several 'multi-part' chapters, but it's just easier that way.
Now, something I would like to remark on; Since I am combining not only canon universes, but OC head-canons, I can tell you RIGHT NOW that some of you will read later chapters and go '...Um, what?'. There will be reactions you might not otherwise expect and even a few relationships.
Are we clear? Awesome, see you next time and HAPPY HOLIDAYS~
