Chapter 11: Sunrise

Ivy sat in her room under the warmth of a sun lamp. She held her arm applying pressure trying to ignore the pain, it hurt bad. When they arrived home, Selina took out her first aid kit and started wrapping the wound. However the bullet didn't shoot all the way through and had to be taken out. Selina grabbed a knife and some tweezers, before taking out the bullet, causing Ivy to lose more blood. She knew she wouldn't die from infection though losing all that blood still made her weak. Selina and Harley left Ivy alone, so she could rest. It was an odd moment, feeling the warmth of the lamp radiate on her, warming her up helping her body heal. Though it was also a reminder that physically death was still a possibility.

"What are you saying!?" Selina yelled suddenly. Ivy blinked as she came back into reality.

"I'm sayin it's not my fault Red got shot!" Harley yelled back.

"She had a bullet stuck in her arm! Of course it's your fault!" Selina accused. Ivy looked up closed her eyes and swallowed she pushed back the pain and forced herself to stand up.

"It was you in middle of that pod sittin there lookin pretty!" Harley shouted back. "I had the gun I was the only one defending us!" Harley continued to yell. Ivy made her way across the room and opened the door. She turned and started to head downstairs.

"Whose idea was it to go in the first place! I knew it was a bad idea but NO-! You just had to go and show off your new little dress!" Selina yelled back taking off her earrings and slamming them on a near by table. Harley's lip quivered. They were so busy arguing they didn't hear Ivy gradually climb down the stairs.

"Yeah well how was I suppose to know that Ozzie was goin to have a shoot-out at his own party?!" Harley yelled back her hands in fist.

"Well because of you IVY ALMOST DIED! What did-"

"Stop it! Both of you!" Ivy interfered. They both looked up at her eyes wide.

"Red ya shouldn't be up!" Harley scolded Ivy before heading toward her.

"I'll handle this you've done enough as it is," Selina moved ahead pushin Harley back. Harley's face scrunched up with a frown as she pulled Selina's shoulder back and turned her toward her. Within seconds Harley punched Selina in the face making her fall back.

"Harley!" Ivy yelled in shock.

"You stupid bitch!" Selina yelled as she wiped the blood off the side of her mouth.

"I've had enough of ya! Red was my friend first not yours!" Harley shouted.

"Harley that's enough!" Ivy yelled again. They both looked up at Ivy confused.

"Bu-But RED!?" Harley whined.

"Harley, Selina I'm tired I just want to rest. It's no ones fault we all decided to go, we all gambled and lost, now can you please just shut up so I can recover from this mess," Ivy demanded as she turned around and slowly climbed upstairs. She can feel their gazes piercing into her back as she climbed. She made it into her room and used what little energy to slam the door. At least they had the decency to stay quiet until she entered into her room.

"I've had enough of this! You guys treatin me like some dumb ditzy blonde! Well I ain't DUMB and I'll be nutzo to put up with this! In fact I think even Mista J treated me better than... this...this bologna! I'm outta here!" Harley yelled bitterly as she yanked the door and walked out. She turned looking up the stairs hoping that maybe Ivy would suddenly run down and beg her not to go. She glanced down at Selina glaring her eyes watery as she turned walking out of the house, slamming the door behind her.

Ivy awoke early enough to see the sunrise. She stood out by her window staring at the orange-yellow rays peeking over through some of the small neighborhood buildings. Ivy released a long sigh she heard Harley's words and she definitely heard a door slam. She looked over her wound it was still tender and it pained her to raise her arm still yet it was already healing. Ivy made her way downstairs, to her surprise, Selina was already awake cuddled up on the chair looking out the window at the same sunrise.

"You're awake?" Ivy asked slightly surprised.

"Yeah couldn't sleep much," Selina replied. The side her lip was bruised along with some dried blood.

"Is Harley?" Ivy started she didn't want to finish her sentence.

"Gone?" Selina finished. She looked down at her earrings besides Harley's black and red jeweled ring. "Yeah," she said simply. Ivy looked away for a moment a tinge of pain in her chest. She looked at the door just the remains of an old wooden oak tree. She frowned as she saw Harley's new favorite hammer.

"She didn't even take her hammer," Ivy said simply as she made hey way across the kitchen. She started taking out some pans and turned on the stove. She was hungry, she lost too much nutrients and needed other supplements.

"Are you okay, Ivy? I mean you're not in pain or anything?" Selina asked walking in surprised as to see her cooking.

"Yes I'm fine I can cook with my left hand... though I really can't water all my babies with just my left hand," Ivy hinted.

"You want me to help water don't you?" Selina asked annoyed. Ivy made a sad face for a moment then smiled.

"Of course, Harley isn't here now and I'm not the real reason she left," Ivy pressed.

"Fine! I'll do it! What do you want me to water?" Selina asked crossing her arms as she leaned against the entrance frame.

"I want you to water the front yard plants. I'm too weak to change into a normal pigment," Ivy continued as she started frying up some spinach. Selina went outside to the front yard, still in her black evening dress. Her short hair was a mess as she watered along the fence. Watching a group of kids walk by staring back at her. A well dressed family walked by heading towards the local church. Selina sighed an image of her sister popped up in her head. She turned around and started watering Ivy's other plants. She finished with the front yard and headed back inside through the kitchen. There was a plate across from Ivy's with fresh strawberry kiwi juice. Selina raised a brow looking at Ivy who gestured her to sit.

"Come on we need to talk," Ivy started as she took a drink from her glass. Selina did as she was told, she picked up her fork and sniffed. It smelt good. "Okay I know what happened last night wasn't one of our greatest moments," Ivy continued.

"You can say that again," Selina replied taking a bite out of some strange rubbery meat.

"Obviously, so let's think back when everything started to feel wrong," Ivy suggested. Selina chewed furiously then swallowed.

"That's easy as soon as we walked in," Selina replied. "Didn't Harley say she saw Mr. Freeze?" Selina asked. Ivy looked away and thought.

"Yes but why would he be there?" Ivy thought out loud. Selina shrugged.

"Could be the real reason why it was so cold, maybe he helped out with that Penguin exhibit," Selina suggested.

"Possibly, well I definitely saw Two Face and Black Mask," Ivy added.

"Yeah Scarface was there too and don't forget Riddler," Selina added. Ivy stayed quiet as she ate. "This is what I remember, Two Face and Penguin were both shooting at Black Mask and his men. They also shot at us, didn't see Riddler, Freeze, or Scarface, there."

"A gun fight isn't really Edward's and Victor's forte," Ivy added.

"Yeah Scarface really can't defend himself he has lackeys to do that. Was he there shooting at us too? I can't remember I only saw Penguin and Two Face shooting toward Black Mask at the angle we were at. The stupid Iceberg blocked half the damn room," Selina mumbled.

"Wait, I remember something...something Edward said..." Ivy said as her eyes widen and her voice went monotonous. "Good luck, you're going to need it," she repeated as she remembered walking away from the table.

"He said that?!" Selina asked in shock.

"Yes," Ivy said suspiciously.

"Then he already knew," Selina said bitterly tossing her fork aside. "He knew and left us there for the taking," Selina said angrily. Ivy shook her head disappointed. It was the world they lived in after all, she should of known better.

"I lost my appetite," Selina said standing up. She headed toward the backyard to finish watering Ivy's plants.
