Selina was strolling behind Harley rolling her eyes as she stomped off muttering angrily to herself. She wasn't listening to what she was muttering about she just wanted to get out without bumping into Ivy and getting into another fight.
Harley was incensed, she could feel her blood boiling, everything was going around her head, Mistah J, Red, her feelings were jumbled and she felt confused and angry but she couldn't put her finger on why.
Selina heard a shriek come from the blonde and ran around the corner. Ivy...
Harley let out a shriek as she rounded a corner and saw a figure that filled her heart with glee. She huffed as Selina ran straight into her back and almost knocked her flat. She turned and shoved her away angrily "Kitty!"
Selina took a deep breath before she snapped and slapped Harley. She had had enough of this day, she was frustrated beyond belief and the last thing she needed after sitting and comforting Harley was her turning on her and fighting. As Harley stepped away from her she spied the figure that had been hidden behind her and she growled angrily. Shit. That is the last person I wanna see right now.
The only thing visible of the Dark Knight was the top of the pointed ears on too of his cowl. A huge plant was coiled around him, its stem was pulsating and seemed to be growing darker. A massive black and red flower had sprouted from it and it seemed to be trying to squeeze itself round Batman tighter.
Harley was practically dancing as she watched the action before she suddenly stopped and gasped. "No! B-man can't die like this!" She began trying to pull at the plant to no avail, she looked over at Selina "Come on Kitty! You know you wanna help him!"
Selina crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. I can't. He deserved those words. She watched Harley's fruitless efforts and sighed.There's so many reasons I should let him die like this. Unheroic. Pathetic. Like the gutless man he really is.
Harley looked at Selina in shock. Wow. I thought Kitty would be the first to jump to save the B-man, what with their history n all."Come on Kitty, he let me go, it's only fair right?"
"Fair!?" She spat the word out vehemently. "Since when you do you care about being fair?"
Harley batted her eyelashes. Jeez Kitty's more pissed than I thought...maybe I can use this. "Well dontcha wanna play with him a bit first?" She winked and giggled.
Hmm. As much as I don't want to admit it...that does sound like fun. She stalked over and wrenched her claws down the side of the plant as Harley grasped the wound and yanked.
They made quick work of it, their own angers and frustrations fuelling their actions. Once they had caused enough damage the plant emitted a noise like a scream slithered away like a snake leaving a smear of Batman's blood behind it.
As the Dark Knight spilled out from his prison, bleeding and unconscious, Selina placed a heel on his chest and looked down disappointedly.
"So much for the big bad bat eh Kitty?" Harley giggled and went to pull off his cowl. She called out in pain when Selina kicked her in the chest "Hey!"
Selina shook her head "Where's the fun in that Harley? He won't even know you did it." She smirked and hoped she had tempted her enough to save his identity. Even when I hate him I still can't let go.
By the time Batman had regained consciousness the women had tied him up and on his knees. As his eyes blinked open he saw the gleeful face of Harley Quinn beaming at him. "Harley?"
"Heya B-man!"
He groaned in pain from his injuries "Let me go."
"Aw now come on B-man! That's no way to say thank for saving me!"
He snarled at her "I saved you. We're even."
He heard a scoff from behind him when a slender arm slinked its way around his neck and a pair of hot lips came to rest by his ear "If you want to play even then perhaps we should have left you to die."
"Selina..."
"The one and only, Batman." She grabbed his chin roughly and licked his cheek. "So, what brings you here? I hope you didn't come here for me."
"Selina I-"
She tutted cruelly "Batman, Batman...did you come to take me in? Or did you change your mind about me again?" She swivelled her body in front of him and straddled him. She ran a finger along his jaw and licked her lips.
He set his jaw firm and stayed silent.
The rage within her began to build again and she slapped him, hard.
Harley watched with amusement as Catwoman and Batman continued their everlasting love/hate relationship. It reminded her so much of her own relationship that caused her confusion. She brought out her phone and snuck away as she pressed the call button.
"Heya Puddin' I know you're mad, but you're not gonna believe what I've got for you."
