Red Hood kicked one of the hitmen in the stomach, then shoved his knife into his throat. Harley jumped on one of the hitmen's shoulders and wrapped her leg around his neck. She yanked his helmet off and plunged the tomahawk blade into the top of his skull.

Another hitman pointed an SMG at Red Hood and said "nighty night."

Red Hood turned and his eyes widened under his helmet. Suddenly he saw his tomahawk embed itself in the hitman's wrist. He yelled in pain as he looked at his wrist. Harley stepped into view and yanked the gun out of his hand. She the barrel under the hitman's chin and emptied the clip. The hitman's head was destroyed by the bullets tearing into his skull. Red Hood, stepped past her and slashed another hitman's throat. Harley grabbed the tomahawk and ran back into the fray. Barbra, Selina and Batman were watching in amazement at Harley and Red Hood. Moving around in the group of hitmen, helping and protecting each other while murdering the hitmen.

"Babs!" Selina yelled.

Barbra turned towards her.

"Get me out of this" Selina said "they're going to need help."

Barbra began picking the locks and cutting through the handcuffs with the blowtorch.

"You aren't immune to gasses and you don't have a helmet with a rebreather in it" Barbra said "how can you help?"

"I'll figure it out" Selina said "just get me loose!"

When Selina was finally free, she stood up and looked at Barbra and said "I need a strip of your shirt."

Barbra just looked at her.

"Trust me" Selina said "please, I need it."

Barbra sighed and tore another strip off of her shirt and handed it to Selina. Selina tied it around the bottom of her face, covering her nose and mouth.

She pulled her goggles down over her eyes and said "get Bruce and Ivy."

She picked up a length of chain and ran into the fight. Red Hood and Harley turned and saw someone running towards them. Harley's grip tightened on the tomahawk as Red Hood wiped his knife off. Selina jumped up and swung the chain down own as she landed. The chain hit one of the hitmen, splitting his skull open with a sickening crack.

Harley grabbed Red Hood's hand and said "that's Kitty! She's on our side."

"Good" Hood said.

Selina twirled the chain like a whip and turned as she approached another hitman. Barbra starting freeing Batman.

"Hurry" he said.

Barbra finished freeing him as Harley, Selina and Red Hood were backing the lead hitman and one other into a corner. Batman jumped up and grabbed three padlocks. He quickly threw them, hitting Harley, Selina and Red Hood. All three of them fell forward.

"What the hell!?" Barbra yelled.

"The courts decide what happens to criminals in Gotham" Batman said "I'll try to get them to be lenient on Harley and Jason for the murders committed here."

"You've got to be kidding!" Barbra said.

"NOBODY MOVE!" A voice yelled.

Barbra and Batman looked and saw the last two remaining hitmen with guns pointed at Harley and Selina while the leader had his head on Jason's helmet. Batman slowly reached for a bat-o-rang, but didn't feel his utility belt.

"Nice going" Barbra said.

Barbra looked at Ivy, she was just coming to.

Barbra stepped forward and said "HEY!"

The two hitmen looked at her.

"Why don't you pick on someone who isn't unconscious?" Barbra asked.

The leader smiled and asked "like you?"

"Yeah" Barbra said "like me."

The leader raised a pistol and shot Barbra's metal cast. Barbra screamed and fell to the ground clutching her leg.

"That thing makes a nice target" the leader said "THAT was your plan?"

"It…worked as…as a dist…distraction" Barbra said through tears.

"What?" He asked.

Roots tore through the foundation of the building and wrapped around the last two hitmen. Ivy stood up as roots and vines broke the last few chains. She slowly approached the two hitmen and the others. Batman started to approach. Ivy looked at him as roots came through the floor and ensnared his legs.

"Stay there" Ivy said calmly.

Her tone was calm, but Barbra could see the anger burning in her eyes. She turned back towards the two hitmen. She approached the leader and took out a seed. She put it on a vine next to his right thigh. The vine grew into a wicked thorn that shot through his leg. He yelled in pain and looked down at his leg.

"It doesn't feel very good, does it?" Ivy asked.

She walked to Harley and Selina and knelt between them. She took out a pinch of a blueish pollen and blew it in Selina's face, then Harley's. They both opened their eyes when they inhaled the pollen.

Harley groaned and asked "did we have a party or somethin'? I got a helluva headache."

"No jokes now" Selina said "what happened Pam? I thought we were winning."

Ivy helped her to her feet. Selina pulled Harley up.

"You we…were winning" Barbra called "Batman knocked you…you out so you wouldn't kill the last…two."

"What?!" Harley yelled.

"Easy Harl" Selina said as she put her hands on Harley's shoulders "let me handle the Bat. You help Red Hood, ok? Please?"

Harley gave a frustrated sigh and said "fine."

She walked over to Red Hood and knelt down next to him. Selina approached Batman as the vines began to release him.

"No" Selina said "let the plants keep him there. He's not walking away from this conversation. I'll handle him, you look after Babs."

"Right" Ivy said. She walked over to a table and grabbed Selina's clawed gloves and tosses them to her. "You might need those" Ivy said as she approached Barbra.

Selina slid her gloves on and said "Ok, now why in the world would you charge Harley and Jason for murder for saving our butts?"

"They killed people Selina" Batman said "like it or not, that's murder."

"I killed a man" Selina said "so did Barbra. Are you going to arrest us too? Or do we want to rack this up as self-defense and move on?"

Batman sighed and said "Selina, I can't. I've sworn to uphold the law. I can't allow any murders to run free."

"Wait" Barbra said "we…we have a pass."

"What?" Batman asked.

"Hang on Ivy" Barbra said.

Ivy stepped back.

"What pass?" Batman asked.

"Task Force S" Barbra said "according to our government contracts with Task Force S we officially have the legal right to kill our marked enemies in self-defense. They wrote it in since 75% of the team are ex supervillains. All four of us are here. We could classify this as Task Force S business and bam, no harm no foul."

"I'm glad somebody actually read those things" Harley said as she helped Jason up.

"I'll have to look into it" Batman said "but if it checks out, I'll go along with it. Unfortunately, Jason isn't covered by that."

"Why not" Harley asked "Babs called 'im, so technically we can say he was workin' with the task force."

"She has a point" Ivy said.

"Fine" Batman said "I'll let you get away with using this as a crutch, BUT only this once."

"Works for me" Harley said smiling.

"I can dig it" Red hood said.

"I need to get Barbra to a hospital" Batman said.

"No" Selina said "Ivy and I can take her. You stay here and deal with the authorities."

"I'll stay too" Ivy said "one of us should be here if we're playing the Task Force S card."

"Good plan" Barbra said.

"Ok Kid" Selina said as she helped Barbra up "let's run by my place and grab some fresh clothes and we'll get you to the ER."

"Sounds like a plan" Barbra said.

"Wait" Ivy said.

She took a small plastic case out of her pocket, opened it and took out a small pill. She walked over to them and handed it to Barbra.

"What's this?" Barbra asked.

"A herbal pain killer" Ivy said "and it has enzymes that will jump start the healing process."

Barbra swallowed the pill and said "thanks Ivy."

"No problem" Ivy said.

"What about me and Hoodie here?" Harley asked.

"You two get out of here" Batman said.

"Wanna get a drink Hoodie?" Harley asked.

"Don't call me 'Hoodie'" Red Hood said.

"Then what am I supposed to call ya?" Harley asked "I can't call ya Red, that's Red's name."

He took his helmet off and said "how about Jason?"

"Works for me" Harley said.

"I know a decent bar not too far from here" Red Hood said "and they don't mind the costume type."

"Cool" Harley said smiling.

She and Red Hood walked out as he put his helmet back on.

"Looks like someone's got a date" Barbra said giggling as Selina helped her walk out.

"What the hell was in that pill Isley?" Selina asked.
