Warning Long Chapter
Chapter 10: Iceberg Lounge
The slam of the door cracking the wall broke the silence of the Sirens home. Catwoman followed by Ivy and Harley walked in.
"Red you were in top form, like a plant goddess!" Catwoman said as she walked in looking around the room as she held on tightly to her sack.
"Oh stop you're making me blush," Ivy said with a tinge of pink on her cheeks.
"It's true Red, you saw those bozos! "Yes plant lady, whateva ya say." HA!" Harley beamed with a smile as she held on to her new favorite hammer.
"Well what can I say being green has it perks," Ivy said with a playful shrug.
"Oh yeah... did I ever tell you how jealous I am of your power?" Catwoman asked as she took off her mask.
"Yes you have and I love it every time," Ivy said with a wide smile. Selina rolled her eyes as she shook her head.
"Gotta stop telling you -"
"Hey ladies, we gotta an itsy bitsy problem here," Harley interrupted as she tossed the junk mail and coupons on the floor.
"What?" Ivy asked.
"We got mail and it ain't junk," Harley pointed out as she lifted an envelope.
"Great," Selina let out sarcastically as she moved her way toward Harley and grabbed it out of her hands. Selina read the envelope.
"To the Sirens," Selina read out loud. She felt the sheen of the envelope. "Nice quality paper too," she added as she turned it around and opened it. She pulled out an invitation.
"What is it?" Harley asked anxiously.
"Its an invite to Penguin's Iceberg Lounge," Selina answered confused.
"What does the fat bird want now?" Ivy asked crossing her arms.
"Better yet why?" Selina asked as she read it out. "You're formally invited to Re-Opening to the Iceberg Lounge this Saturday at 8 PM. Formal Attire is required. Security will be at the door, weapons and other illegal items will be confiscated and return upon your leave."
"Great," Ivy let out sarcastically.
"Sounds fun!" Harley said grinning.
"Wait a second you're not thinking of actually going are you?" Selina asked seriously. Harley's wide smile turned into a frown as Ivy merely shrugged.
"Why not it'll be fun!" Harley pleaded.
"Yeah right! How did he even find this address how does he even know we're here?" Selina asked paranoid.
"Oh I'm sure Batman doesn't know where we live by now either," Ivy retaliated. "Get real Selina you knew it was only a matter of time," Ivy said pushing her hair back.
"Yeah...but don't change the subject. We're not going," Selina said crossing her arms.
"Why not!? It's not like Mista J is gonna be there," Harley let out.
"So? I mean why?" Selina asked.
"Why not? It's not like we got anythin better to do," Harley argued crossing her arms.
"What do you think, Pam?" Selina asked. Ivy let out a long sigh before shrugging.
"I don't care. Penguin obviously wants us there for a purpose, though considering it is a social event it can't be anything too deceptive," Ivy thought out.
"Yeah nothin we can't handle," Harley said putting her arms behind her head releasing a wide childish grin. Selina rolled her eyes.
"Alright," Selina said defeated.
"Yay! I already know what I wanna wear!" Harley yelled running upstairs. Selina perked a brow as she glanced at Ivy who did the same.
Saturday night came and Selina looked over herself as she applied some lipstick. She popped her lips before checking herself over making sure she had what she needed. She walked out of her room, her black Satin gown with a long slit and black heels. She made her way down stairs joining Harley who was already ready. She wore a red halter dress with a slit in the middle and black trim. She wore red pumps and her hair up in pigtail buns.
"Wow you look...nice," Selina complimented.
"You really think so?" Harley asked wide eyed.
"Yeah you do," Selina said with a smile. Harley blushed in return. "So where's Red?"
"Oh she's still getting ready, ya know not very keen about the whole formal thing," Harley said crossing her arms. Selina made a face.
"Does she even own formal attire?" Selina asked thinking about what Ivy recently purchased, plant food and gardening clothes.
"Who knows," Harley said as she checked her new diamond studded watch."But she better make it quick it's 7:45," Harley said growing impatient.
"Hey Pam hurry it up would ya?!" Selina yelled. The sound of the door opening with a strange draft flew down stairs.
"I'm on my way," Ivy said sternly before suddenly appearing. Harley let out a wide smile as Selina's eyes widen.
"Damn," Selina let out as she stared up.
"Jeez Red!" Harley let out breathlessly. Ivy was her in her public shade as she had her hair in a big side twisted bun ornate with with leaves and flowers. Her dress was tight around the bust then flowed away from her, Ivy and along with other flowers that didn't grow on Ivy weaved onto her dress. It was as her dress was alive and flowing in an invisible breeze. Ivy placed a hand on her hip.
"Impressed?" Ivy asked with a smile.
"Yeah," Selina said in awe. Ivy made her way downstairs.
"Let's go," Ivy said simply as all three girls made their way out to Selina's car. Selina drove as Ivy took the passenger seat and Harley in the back. Selina made her way to the Iceberg Lounge by instinct as she done it many times before. The event was packed as cars struggle to find parking and people walked around constantly crossing the streets. Selina decided to use the valet and drove up to the door.
"Are we ready?" Selina asked checking herself in the mirror one more time. They both silently nodded and Selina smiled. "Good let's go make an impression, shall we?" Selina said as she stepped out. As soon as they walked out of the car the sound of cars moving, people chatting, and music from the lounge flooded their ears. They walked up the red carpet as the camera's flashed.
"Hey that red head looks familiar" a photographer spoke as he began shooting. Selina walked quickly as she began to get nervous, Ivy kept her pace keeping her haughty composure, Harley fell behind as she stopped a few times to pose and smile.
"We made it!" Selina breathed as she made it inside.
"Almost," Ivy pointed out as Harley stood by the door facing the camera's throwing an air kiss.
"Will you get a grip?!" Selina scolded before dragging Harley inside.
"Hey! I was just givin' my fans what they wanted," Harley defended sorely.
"Yeah yeah... okay are we ready?" Selina asked as she looked at both Ivy and Harley who nodded. "Okay let's go," they all walked up to security smiling.
"Hey boys, we're on the list so let's make this quick shall we?" Selina asked holding her arms up in the air and turning. The men were about to check her when suddenly they just placed her hand on her hips gently then slowly letting go.
"She's clean," the guy said.
"Yep," the other bouncer agreed. They let all three of them pass and walked in. Both Selina and Harley smiled at Ivy, who smiled back.
"Nope I'm not gonna do it... not anymore," Selina said as she was about to remind Ivy how jealous she was of her pheromones. The Iceberg Lounge was crowded with mobsters, half dressed low lifes, shady politicians, the usual guest list, mostly consisting of men.
"Burrr," Harley noted as shivered slightly.
"Of course you'd think Mr. Freeze was here by the way he keeps his the temperature in this place," Selina spoke as she looked around.
"Speaking of Freeze... I think I saw him!" Harley said as she stared across the room.
"Where?!" both Selina and Ivy asked.
"There!" Harley pointed. They both looked but saw nothing but men in tuxedos.
"I don't see him," Ivy said.
"C'mon let's get a drink," Selina said as she led the way. A waitress came their way and offered them some champagne which they all took. They stood in the center of the room by the penguin exhibit staring at the variety of penguins.
"They're so cute!" Harley exclaimed as she bent over trying to touch one.
"I know this sounds odd but..." Ivy started as she leaned toward Selina. "I think I saw Harvey just now," she finished.
"Two Face?! No way!" Selina said in shock.
"Ladies, Ladies, such lovely ladies I'm glad you made it," Oswald came up to them arms wide before bowing slightly. Ivy rolled her eyes as Selina crossed her arms.
"Nice party you got here, Ozzy," Selina complimented.
"Why of course, nothing but the best," Oswald noted proudly as he smacked Harley's arm with his umbrella. "No touching the exhibit!" he scolded as he pointed toward a sign that said the same exact words.
"Jeez," Harley said rubbing her arm.
"You got quite a guest list? Why is that?" Selina asked curiously.
"Selina... you know it isn't a party if the big leagues don't show up," Oswald defended pompously. Selina rolled her eyes with a huff.
"Hoy! Ozzy darling! Long time no see!" came a very frail looking, older woman. Her slinky dress did nothing to her bony body.
"Martha! What a lovely surprise!" Oswald said as he walked up to Martha and greeted her.
"Talk about a meat sack," Ivy noted.
"Hey at least she's a female and not a waitress, either," Selina said. "Come on let's go mingle elsewhere," Selina suggested as she grabbed Harley's wrist and started leading the way within the crowd. Immediately Selina's eyes opened as she could of sworn she saw Black Mask talking to a politician. On the other side she saw Two Face talking to Scarface as he flipped his coin. "What's going on here?" Selina stopped becoming worried. "We need to get out of here something isn't right," Selina whispered to Harley.
"Yeah," Harley agreed as she looked around nervously as well.
"Hey Red, Selina wants to bail! Red?" Harley asked looking around. "Oh oh..."
"Let me guess," Selina started.
"Yep Red's not behind us," Harley replied sheepishly.
"She must of got lost in the crowd," Selina replied. "Let's find her and leave," Selina said.
Ivy sat on the other side of the exhibit, one minute Selina and Harley were there the next they were gone. Ivy decided the best strategy was to stay put and let them find her. She sat by the back wall at a small round table where an ice sculpture was placed in the middle. A waitress came and offered her a drink, Ivy accepted it. It wasn't like she was going to get drunk... ever. She just needed something to keep her occupied until Selina or Harley showed up.
"So sirens can't hear their own calls after all," a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts. Ivy looked up then grimaced confirming her thoughts when she saw the pompous looking man with the green tailored suit.
"Edward so nice of you to notice," Ivy sniped.
"If you don't mind me saying but... you look stunning," Riddler complimented as he took a seat at her table. "But I'm sure you already know that, don't you?" he asked his voice turning smug. Ivy grinned as she perked a brow glancing at Riddler. Finally he said something that didn't insult her intelligence. "So the silent treatment, huh? Well at least I got something that most men don't have the honor to say-"
"You're pushing it Edward," Ivy finally replied.
"For awhile I thought the cat caught your tongue," he said as he held his cane close to him. Ivy could clearly feel the Riddler's gaze as if he was trying to figure her out.
"Well Selina has the tendency to do that to a person," Ivy remarked. Riddler leaned back his brows lifted.
"Was that a joke?" Edward asked confused. Ivy rolled her eyes as she took a drink.
"Look Edward, I'm not in the mood to deal with you so could you be gentleman and move along? I wou-"
"Shame I thought we were finally getting somewhere," Riddler said with a frown.
"There you are!" Selina bellowed as she walked up to Ivy's table.
"Took you long enough," Ivy replied.
"Well no one told you to pick the shadiest table in the club," Selina noted as she looked around. "And why are you with Eddie?" she asked.
"Hiya Eddie, long time no see," Harley waved form behind Selina.
"Why hello Miss Quinn, you're looking lovely," Riddler complimented. Ivy smiled as she felt stunning was a better compliment then lovely.
"Okay whatever we're blowing this joint," Selina continued. Ivy stood up more than ready to leave.
"Leaving so soon?" Riddler asked feigning sadness.
"See ya later Eddie," Selina said as she started walking.
"Bye Eddie!" Harley waved. Ivy eyed Riddler for a moment wondering if she should say goodbye or not, but decided against it.
"Good luck! You're going to need it," Riddler said as Ivy began walking away. What did her mean by that? Ivy thought as she followed Selina out the back. Selina walked through the curtain and waited for Ivy.
"You know the drill," Selina said as Ivy walked ahead taking out the guard with her pheromones. She opened the back door and immediately shots were fired at them. Ivy closed the door again her eyes wide returning back to her normal shade of green.
"What was THAT!?" Selina asked as she saw what happened.
"This party isn't going so hot," Harley said nervously as she looked around.
"I don't know but they're too far away I won't have the time to entrance them," Ivy noted.
"Okay we need to find another way out," Selina said looking around. She made her way up the staircase. "Let's go!" she called. They made their way up the staircase past the guards they climbed another staircase then another finally they made it to the rooftop. Selina lock pick the door and pushed it open. They walked out to the cold night breeze and toward the edge and frowned.
"Kind of high you're ready for this?" Selina asked as she looked over the ledge then at the rooftop across of them.
"In heels? I don't think so," Ivy said as she walked toward the ledge and looked down. She smiled as she saw a few gunmen by the exit they came out earlier of. She dropped a few seeds then within seconds the seeds grew and into vines tangling the gunmen up.
"Nice work," Selina said impress. "Let's go!" she said about to shimmy down a drainpipe.
"You can't be serious?" Ivy asked.
"What did you expect when we came up here your own private helicopter?" Selina asked holding onto the pipe.
"Nah she's just waiting for Superman," Harley joked as she got ready to shimmy after Selina. Ivy looked away ignoring Harley's comment.
"I'll meet you downstairs be by the exit," Ivy said turning back and making her back downstairs.
Selina and Harley made it down.
"See that wasn't so hard, was it?" Selina asked. Harley shook her head.
"It was a cinch," Harley said surely.
"They're over there get em," a few guys said and ran toward them. Selina opened her slit of her dress revealing some weapons. She pulled out a black container, opening it quickly dropping some spikes on the ground. A few them stopped as they exploded when they stepped on them. Selina and Harley started attacking the men taking them out as quickly as possible. Then suddenly another group of men turned down the alley.
"MORE?!" Selina questioned in shock.
"I hope ya got more of them jack thingies," Harley prayed. Selina shook her head.
"Let's go," Selina stated and pulled Harley back inside, closing the door locking it.
"What are you doing?" Ivy asked as she finally made her way down the staircase.
"Bad news Penguins hiding an army outside and they're blocking the exit... again," Selina said.
"Great now what?" Ivy asked as she looked around irately.
"I got it Plan C!" Harley said excited.
"Plan C?" Selina asked. Harley nodded and headed toward the wall. She grinned deviously as she stepped aside and presenting the fire alarm. Within seconds she pulled it. Immediately the sprinklers started pouring and the sound of people complaining were heard in the other room. Soon after gun shots were heard.
"I knew you were going to double cross me!" Black Mask yelled. "That's why I had my guys outside waiting," he said as he turned a table over and pulled out a gun from that was taped below it. He started shooting at Two Face and his men. The Penguin had his umbrella and shot at Black Mask as well. Suddenly waitresses pulled out guns from under their trays and started shooting at them as well.
"Heh dames with guns... I like it," Harley said as she dunked her adrenaline pumping.
"That's new," Selina noted. Then all of a sudden a guy grabbed her from behind. Though Harley immediately pulled him off of her and knocked him out. She took the mans gun and smiled.
"Let's check the kitchens and service exit," Ivy suggested and started running toward the twin doors.
"Why didn't I think of that," Selina scolded herself. They ran in and to their surprise half the staff was already dead, blood scattered everywhere. A guy shivered in the corner hiding behind a metal food trolley. Selina tried to unlock the exit. "Crap it's blocked," she said pushing it again.
"Give me this!" Harley yanked the food trolley away from him. "I got an idea!" Harley said again.
"Really?" Selina asked in shock.
"Yeah let's use this to make an exit through the front door. We can use pots and pans to shield us," Harley suggested.
"I got a better idea," Ivy intervened as she took out a large seed from between her breast and dropped it on top of the trolley she grabbed a cup of water and the seed started jumping.
"Wake up baby, momma needs you now," Ivy cooed as the seed burst open and vines grew wildly. Harley jumped back avoiding to get smacked as the vines attached itself the cart. A huge thick flower bloomed that looked like one of Ivy's carnivorous plants.
"What's that!?" Selina asked worried.
"This is our way out come on let's go," Ivy replied. Soon they made their way out toward the hall and near the room where a few men were still shooting at each other. Ivy forced Selina in the middle of the pod reassuring that it won't and can't eat her. Harley stood in front partially covered by the blossom. Ivy stood behind the trolley.
"Are you ready?" Ivy asked.
"Ready when you are!" Harley said pulling out her gun making sure it was loaded.
"Just go!" Selina shouted. Ivy suddenly tossed out some seeds at all directions. Some burst into smoke while others into tangling vines, snapping erratically. Ivy started pushing with all her might into the huge room.
"What the fuck!?" a guy yelled as he saw the giant flower move across the room.
"Get them! Get them they're getting away!" Penguin yelled and about half of Penguins men started shooting at them. Harley curled herself up for cover until she saw some guys blocking their way.
"Oh no ya don't!" Harley yelled and started shooting at them taking them both out.
"Get THEM!" Penguin yelled again. Ivy grabbed on to the cart as it was about to bust through the doors, when she felt it. The sharp agonizing pain of a bullet that struck her right arm. They made it toward the entrance and to the red carpet. Where some of Black Mask's men were still shooting with Penguins men. Ivy pushed toward their right with her left arm until they got behind Black Masks men. Harley jumped out of the cart as the pod opened. Selina took a deep breath as she jumped out of the cart.
"It worked," Selina said in disbelief.
"Yay for Red!" Harley cheered as she turned to hug Ivy before gasping. "Red you're hurt!" Harley yelled.
"It's- I'm fine I'm already regenerating see? The blood is flowing...less," Ivy pointed out as her dark colored blood.
"Let's get out of here," Selina said as they went to the near by parking lot and searched for their car. Police was already at the scene by the time they got into Selina's car and started driving.
"Hey guess who just pulled in, Bats!" Harley pointed as the Batmobile zoomed by. Selina frowned as she drove toward their hideout.
