A/N: No featured characters today! Just characters from the previous chapters. This chapter is also much shorter than the rest. I guess it's sort of a bridge chapter in a way. Also, just so you know, I've once again reduced the number of chapters from 21 to a nice even 20. I decided that one of the ideas I had planned was kinda just filler. Anyway, hope you enjoy this coming chapter!
Rays of sunlight peaked in through the windows in Ivy's apartment and shined on Harley's face, making her groan in discomfort. The world was telling her it was time to wake up but she didn't want to just yet. Whining a little bit, Harley rolled over and pressed her head against a pillow. As she did this, Harley became aware of a soft chuckling next to her.
"Alright sleepyhead, it's time for us both to get up." Ivy's voice made its presence known to Harley.
"Aww… Fine…" Harley rolled over in bed and found herself facing Ivy looking back at her with a big smile on her face. It was then that Harley realized that both her and Ivy were naked at the moment. She self consciously began to cover herself with the blanket before realized that Ivy had already seen everything by this point.
"So… I guess we're girlfriends now, huh?"
"I know, I almost can't believe it either." Ivy smirked, moving a bit closer to Harley. "But yeah, we're girlfriends."
"God that feels wonderful to say!" Harley giggled. She reached forward and pulled Ivy into a hug, pressing their bodies together. "Uh, my memory kinda got fuzzy after a certain point last night. Did you 'n me have sex?"
"Depends on how you define sex…" Ivy raised an eyebrow.
"Well, did either of us have a… Did either of us…" Harley had trouble expressing herself and found herself blushes.
"Orgasm?"
"Yeah, that."
Ivy shook her head and laughed a bit. "No, we didn't. But you were very playful last night. We stayed up very late together."
"Mmm, I had a lotta fun." Harley nodded and pecked Ivy on the lips. "We should probably get outta bed now, huh?"
"Yeah, it's about time we did that." Ivy began to get up from the bed. "I'll be honest, I don't even know what time it is right now."
Harley yawned a little bit and got up from her bed. "Way too late to still be in bed, that's what time it is." She picked up the clothes she wore yesterday and put them back on, too lazy to pick out something new. But for her own comfort, Harley chose not to wear any underwear beneath her clothes.
Ivy was even lazier, not bothering to pick up her discarded clothes at all. Instead she got some leaves to swirl around her until they formed a leotard to preserve her modesty. "Ah, much better. C'mon Harls, let's go face the day."
"Right behind ya, Red." Harley got behind Harley and put a hand around her shoulder and quickly kissed her cheek. She giggled a little bit. "Oh yeah, I could really get used to this…"
The two of them left the bedroom and entered the apartment's living room. Magpie was already in the living room, casually watching an interior decorating show on TV. She seemed happy to see the two of them and got up from the couch. "Well hey there girls. How did you lovebirds sleep last night?"
"Heh, just fine." Harley realized she was blushing and held onto Ivy.
"So, uh, is anything gonna change around here now that you two are girlfriends?" Magpie smiled at them.
"Well, me and Harley are gonna be sharing the bedroom from now on." Ivy said. "So you can sleep in the guest bedroom now."
"Fine with me." Magpie asked. "Just don't make too much noise at night and we should be good."
"Don't embarrass me like that…" Harley giggled, clinging on to Ivy's arm some more. "Ah jeez I'm tired… I need some fuckin' coffee." She let go of Ivy and began making her way to the kitchen.
"Mmm, good idea." Ivy nodded and followed Harley into the kitchen. "That's just the wakeup call I need."
Magpie smiled at the two women and sat back down on the couch. "You girls have fun. I'm hoping for some peace and quiet today."
Ivy and Harley went to the kitchen together and started looking for the things they needed in order to make some coffee. While Ivy got the coffee pot and grounds out, Harley sat down on the chair.
"Man… What're we gonna do now? I mean, it feels real good to know that you're my girlfriend." Harley smiled. "But I feel like we gotta do somethin' special now."
"How about we just hang out today. Get to know each other better." Ivy smiled, looking over her shoulder at Harley.
"Ooh, great idea!" Harley nodded, clapping a little bit. "Oh! We should give Selina a call and let her know the happy news. I bet she'll be real glad to hear 'bout it."
"I'm sure she will." Ivy chuckled, continuing to make the coffee. "Maybe we can go out to the mall together. That sounds like a good way to spend our time."
"Yeah the mall sounds great!" Harley cheered. "And maybe we could steal some fun stuff while we're there."
"I like to think I'm above petty crime like that…" Ivy trailed off. "But then again, some nice jewellery could be fun."
"Yeah, jewellery." Harley giggled. "Or… Maybe some fun little toys. Y'know, the kind ya play with in the bedroom now that we're a couple."
"Harley!" Ivy exclaimed, laughing a little and blushing.
"What, it's an idea." Harley giggled like crazy, getting up from her seat and grabbing onto Ivy's shoulder. "Ah whatever. We'll have fun no matter what! You, me and the kitty cat!"
"Think we should invite Magpie too?" Ivy asked.
"Good idea, I'll check." Harley nodded. "Be back in a jiffy!" She let go of Ivy and quickly walked over to the living room where Magpie still seemed to be engrossed in her program. "Hey Maggie! Ya in the mood to come to the mall with me, Red and Selina today."
"No thanks." Magpie shook her head. "I need some time to myself right now. Especially after yesterday at the boardwalk."
"Totally fair." Harley gave Magpie a quick thumbs up..
"It's probably best that someone stays home anyway." Magpie went on. "I got a call from yor landlady earlier, that Jenna girl. She said she wanted to come over and hang out."
"Aww, too bad we're missin' her." Harley sighed. "I like Jenna. Even if Ivy begs to differ."
"Well, if she does end up coming over I'll be sure to let you know how it goes." Magpie glanced back over at her show. "I hope you girls have fun at the mall though. Maybe pick up a shiny little trinket for me."
"Will do!" Harley nodded and turned around back to the kitchen. The coffee pot was in the middle of brewing and Ivy was sitting down at the dining table. "Hey Red, Maggie says she ain't interested."
"That's no problem." Ivy smiled. "Just the three of us going to the mall sounds perfect to me."
"Hell yeah! Just two girlfriends and their best friends!" Harley cheered. "We're gonna have a hell of a day ahead of us."
"Oh, absolutely." Ivy nodded.
Soon the coffee was done brewing and poured out into mugs. Ivy pushed a mug over to Harley and took one for herself.
"Let's have a toast to us." Harley smiled, carefully picking up her hot coffee. "Girlfriends 'til the end!"
"Girlfriends." Ivy repeated, clinking her mug of coffee against Harley's and taking a sip. The two of them looked into each other's eyes, both clearly excited about the day they had ahead of them.
A few hours later, Harley and Ivy had abandoned Magpie back at the apartment to deal with Jenna. Instead, they both went out to a popular mall in downtown Gotham. Deeming the RV too loud and conspicuous, Harley and Ivy took the bus over to the mall. Gotham City's public transit wasn't the most reliable in the world but it got the job done.
The bus dropped them off at Cooke Street, just a few blocks away from where they were supposed to meet Selina. They walked down the sidewalk together, holding hands. Eventually they made it to the mall where Harley spotted Selina casually leaned against a wall and checking her phone.
Harley was suddenly overcome with excitement and let go of Ivy's hand. She ran over to Selina and pulled her into a big hug, squealing excitedly. "Eee! Hey there!"
"Um, hey there Harley." Selina smiled, beginning to hug her back. "You snuck up on me there."
"So, what's new pussycat?" Harley let go of Selina and smiled at her.
"Oh, not very much. More of the same stuff. Hang out with my cats, commit a small scale robbery, read a cheesy romance novel before bed." Selina gave Harley a quick, playful pat on the head. "What about you? When Ivy called she told me she had some exciting news you two wanted to tell me."
"Oh yeah, we sure do!" Harley nodded, smiling happily.
"Hey there girls." Ivy approached Harley and Selina. "You chatting already?"
"Lil bit!" Harley cheered, putting an arm around Ivy.
"Alright girls, don't keep me in suspense." Selina crossed her arms, looking at the both of them. "What is it that you wanna tell me? What are we celebrating here?"
"Should I tell her or do you wanna tell her?" Ivy whispered to Harley.
"Can we both tell her?" Harley whispered back.
"Girls, stop being so mysterious." Selina chuckled. "What's the big surprise?"
Not able to contain her excitement anymore, Harley just blurted it out. "Me 'n Red are girlfriends now! Like, girlfriend-girlfriends!"
"As in we're in love." Ivy tried to clarify Harley's exclamation.
"Oh my god, finally." Selina laughed a little. "I'd always suspected there was something more between you too. I'd been seriously thinking about trying to be your wingman, Ivy."
"Well, things happened more naturally for us." Ivy reached out and held Harley by the hand. "Things kinda fell apart with Orca but you know what, I got Harley instead. So in a way, I win."
"Good for you, girls." Selina smirked. "So, are you girls ready to go? I'm ready to have some fun at the mall."
"Sure thing!" Harley nodded. "We can browse around the shops, get some sexy new clothes, get some stuff from the food court. Should be fun!"
Feeling a bit calmed down now, Harley grabbed Ivy by the hand and started leading her towards the mall with Seline right by them.
"It's gonna be interesting seeing you two as a couple." Selina smirked, looking at the both of them.
"Ah, somethin' tells me it ain't gonna be too different. We'll just be a lot more kissy." Harley giggled, quickly giving Ivy a kiss on the cheek. "Aww, yer blushin', Red!"
"No way, I don't blush." Ivy shook her head.
"I don't know Ivy, your face tells a different story." Selina joined in on the teasing.
"C'mon girls, that's enough." Ivy chuckled, trying to make herself stop blushing. "How about we go try on some clothes? How's that sound?"
"Ooh, very fun." Harley nodded. "I love playing dress up!"
"Then let's go find a place with some nice clothes." Selina smirked, looking around. "I'm sure we'll find something good to wear."
"This is gonna be such a fun day!" Harley cheered, clinging to Ivy and giving her another kiss on the cheek.
"Gosh, you're excitable. Not that I'm complaining at all, mind you." Ivy gave Harley a kiss right back. "Today is going to be very interesting for the both of us."
Back across town at Ivy's apartment, Magpie had chosen to get a bit more comfortable. She warmed up some leftover pizza in the microwave and changed into just her underwear and a bathrobe with some fuzzy slippers on her feet as well. Normally she didn't indulge in this kind of laziness but she figured she deserved a lazy day every once in a while.
As Magpie took her warmed up pizza out of the microwave she heard a knock at the door. Presuming it to be the Carpenter, Magpie fastened up her robe and put down the hot plate. She went over to the front door and opened it. Sure enough, Jenna Duffy, the Carpenter, was on the other side.
"Hey there!" Jenna waved to Magpie. "Thanks for having me over. It gets lonely over at my place sometimes."
"Yeah, no problem. Harley and Ivy left to go to the mall so it's just me here." Magpie turned around, inviting Jenna to come in. "Should be nice to have someone to talk to actually."
"I know what you mean." Jenna smiled, closing the door behind her and following Magpie into the kitchen. "Hey, mind if I make some tea? I kinda developed a taste for it after spending so much time with the Mad Hatter."
"Knock yourself out." Magpie nodded, picking up her plate of pizza. "I've got nothing going on today. You and me can do pretty much whatever."
"Cool, cool." Jenna casually nodded as she opened up a cabinet in the kitchen. "Is there a kettle in here somewhere?"
"I've got no fucking idea." Magpie shook her head. "Ivy's the one that buys stuff round here. I kinda just live here. Step up from the crappy hotel I was in before."
"We're both lucky." Jenna nodded, still poking around the kitchen. "Being a supervillain doesn't always work out."
"Oh yeah, that's putting it lightly." Magpie sighed. "Things only turned around for me recently. Before I joined Harley's gang I was kinda in a downward spiral. But now things are looking up."
"Good for you…" Jenna opened one more cabinet. "Aha! That's where the kettle was hiding. Now to figure out if they have any tea bags lying around…"
Before Jenna could continue her search for tea, there came another loud knocking at the front door. This made both Magpie and the Carpenter pause and look at each other.
"Did you invite anyone else over?" Magpie asked.
"Uh no… Did you?" Jenna shook her head.
"Must be a delivery man or something." Magpie sighed. "I'll be right back. Let me know if you find any tea." She walked out of the kitchen, leaving Jenna back in the kitchen. The knocking persisted as she went over to the apartment's front door. "Alright, alright, be patient."
She went to the door and opened it up. On the other side stood a familiar looking woman with orange, curly hair. "Hey there…"
"Um, hello?" Magpie stared at the woman. "I think you have the wrong house."
"No, I don't think so." The woman shook her head. "This is Harley Quinn's apartment, right?"
"Uh, yeah." Magpie nodded, starting to get a little bit concerned. "She's not home right now."
"Ah, even better." The woman smiled.
"Okay, seriously, who the fuck are you?" Magpie looked over the woman again, trying to figure out who she was.
"You don't recognize me?" The woman chuckled a bit. "Oh, I see. I'm not wearing my costume. That must be it." She leaned in a bit closer to Magpie. "I'm Hazard, remember me?"
"Oh, it's you… You're not angry, are you?" Magpie nervously smiled.
"Not at all." Hazard shook her head. "I'm just here to talk. Can I come in? Trust me, today's gonna be your lucky day."
"I dunno. Isn't it kinda bad practice to let someone with a reason to kill you into your house." Magpie chuckled.
"But I don't wanna kill you at all." Hazard laughed a bit. "Seriously, I want to help you. Don't you want that?"
Magpie thought for a couple of moments before nodding. "Alright, come in. But if you do anything funny, I swear to god, I will beat the shit out of you."
"Thanks for the hospitality." Hazard laughed a bit more. "Trust me, you will not regret this."
At the mall, the girls were still having fun. They'd gone into a clothes store together and browsed around. Selina and Ivy had chosen some rather casual clothes to purchase. Sweatpants and a tank top for Selina and a flannel shirt and jeans for Ivy. Harley on the other hand was in the mood for something extravagant.
Selina and Ivy waited outside of the changing rooms while they awaited Harley to finish putting on the dress she picked out. They were seated outside the changing booth she was in. While they waited for Harley to exit, the two of them decided to chat to pass the time.
"I've been feeling a lot happier lately, is that weird?" Ivy smiled.
"Well, it depends." Selina chuckled. "You usually aren't a very cheery person. What's got you feeling so giddy?"
"Harley, mostly." Ivy happily sighed. "And not just because we're girlfriends now. Ever since she left the Joker for good I've just been glad to have her around. Before that I spent all day talking to my plants. But now that she'd around I just feel so much better. Her personality is just infectious, it makes me feel so good."
"That's real cute, Ivy." Selina put a hand on Ivy's shoulder. "I think you two go good together."
"Oh, absolutely." Ivy smiled. "I don't usually believe in true love or whatever, but it just feels like me and her were meant to be. Know what I mean?"
"Yeah, kinda." Selina replied. "You two seem to be good for each other."
"I think we really are. I'm going to do whatever I can to be a good girlfriend. Emotions… They're not my strong suit." Ivy sighed a little bit. "But I want to be open with her."
"I think that's really sweet." Selina smiled.
It was around then that the door to the changing room opened up and out stepped Harley dressed in a red dress that went down to around her knees. It was pretty tight and showed off her body pretty well. She did a little twirl around to show herself off to her friends. "Ta-da! Well girls, whatta ya think?"
"You're beautiful." Ivy smiled.
"Aww, you'd have said that no matter what I wore." Harley giggled.
"I agree with her." Selina nodded looking over Harley. "You're probably going to get a lot of stares in that outfit."
"Good! I like gettin' attention." Harley smirked. She took a few steps closer to Ivy. "But ain't no one can touch this except for you, Red!"
"So are you gonna get the dress?" Ivy asked.
"Yeah, I think so!" Harley nodded. "I look super sexy in it!"
"Mmm, you sure do." Ivy smirked, looking over Harley.
"Alrighty, I'm gonna go change out of it and we can go pay for it. Or steal it, whichever works for you!" Harley turned back around and entered the changing booth. She happily hummed to herself and got changed back into her street clothes. Once that was done she exited the changing room, taking the dress she picked out with her. "Okay girls, ready to go?"
"Sure am." Selina nodded as she stood up. "I'm in a good mood today so I'll pay for our clothes."
"Makes things easier than finding a way to steal them." Ivy nodded.
The three women soon paid for their things and left the store together, excited to explore the mall some more. Harley was filled to the brim with excitement and glee, spinning around a little as she walked around the mall.
"We should probably make sure she doesn't end up falling over." Selina whispered.
"But she looks so cute." Ivy chuckled. "Let's let her have some fun."
However it seems that Selina's suggestion was a bit well advised when Harley's spinning ended up with her walking into a bench and toppling over.
"I'm okay!" Harley cheered. "Just a lil bit bruised up!"
Selina and Ivy rushed over to Harley and helped pick her up.
"C'mon, you're gonna be okay." Ivy helped Harley get up from the ground. "Are you gonna be okay?"
"Uh huh, think so." Harley nodded, rubbing the back of her head.
"Let's get back home before you have a bit too much fun." Selina chuckled.
"Aww…" Harley sighed. "Can we get somethin' from the food court first? I'm kinda hungry."
"Alright, that's fair." Ivy nodded, giving Harley a bit of a pat on a back. "Come on, let's go find you something to eat."
"Yay! I wanna get a burger and some fries. Ooh, maybe a milkshake too!" Harley giggled.
"We'll get all of that for you." Ivy nodded, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
Harley laughed some more as she walked through the mall with Ivy and Selina right by her side. Right now it felt like she was on top of the world.
Hazard had made herself at home back at the apartment with Magpie and Carpenter. Jenna had finished brewing some tea and poured out cups for the three women. They were seated in the dining room together, not really saying much. Hazard had been quiet and both Jenna and Magpie were curious as to what exactly she was doing here.
"This is good tea… Usually I prefer my tea iced but I'm willing to make an exception here." Hazard chuckled and took another sip from her mug. "Oh yeah, damn good stuff."
"Right…" Magpie looked over Hazard for a moment. "Listen, I don't mean to be rude or anything… But what exactly are you doing here?"
"Oh yes, I should explain myself." Hazard nodded. "You know me, don't you? I'm Hazard."
"I don't know you." Jenna shook her head.
"Well, I met her a few times." Magpie said. "You know…. Briefly. I think I beat up your friend. The Icicle guy."
"Oh, let bygones be bygones." Hazard laughed a little bit. "Trust me Magpie, I'm a forgiving woman. I don't hold anything against you."
"What are you doing here?" Jenna asked. "I'm still kinda unclear on that."
"None of your concern. But Magpie, it is your concern." Hazard said. "See, I'm putting together a team right now. Trying to complete a, well, a personal vendetta of sorts."
Magpie raised an eyebrow. "What kind of vendetta?"
"You see… I am a bit mad at Harley. More mad than I let on. She put my granddad in the hospital for a good while and I love him so much." Hazard sighed, stirring her tea a little bit. "So, I figured, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I want to get revenge. Now, I'm assuming you're only with Harley's crew because you have nowhere else to go. Is that right?"
"Well, uh, kinda." Magpie nodded.
"Then perhaps I can give you somewhere better to go." Hazard smiled. "See, I'm still pretty upset with what Harley did to my granddad. And I'm seeking all the help I can get. I want to take you somewhere better. What do you say?"
Magpie didn't even have to think about it. She just shook her head and glared at Hazard. "I'm sorry, no. I may have only joined Harley at first because I had nowhere else to go, but guess what? I like her now. Yeah, she isn't perfect. Far fucking from it. But she's got her heart in the right place. She cares about people and I appreciate that."
"Cares about people?" Hazard repeated, sounded angry. "She hurt my granddad!"
"Didn't you guys try to scam her?" Magpie pointed out.
"That was just business." Hazard crossed her arms. "Look, I'm only going to ask you one last time. So you had better pay attention. Are you in, or are you out?"
Magpie paused for a moment before glaring at Hazard and leaning towards her. "I'm out."
"Very well." Hazard nodded and stood up. "I thought I'd get you on my side. But apparently I was wrong." She grabbed the cup of tea and took a sip from it. "I'm taking this with me by the way." She turned around and began walking away. "Oh, and Magpie, don't bother trying to warn Harley about me. No matter what, I will get my revenge."
Magpie watched Hazard walk away for a couple moments. She glanced over at Jenna and whispered to her. "Excuse me for just a moment." She took one more sip of her tea before putting it down.
Standing up from her seat, Magpie began charging at Hazard. "Hey, bitch!"
Hazard looked behind her and saw Magpie running at her but didn't movie. Magpie leaped into the air and tried to kick at her. But mere moments before the hit landed, Hazard swiftly stepped out of the way. She mimed yawning just to mock Magpie as she crashed into a nearby wall.
"Are you done?" Hazard asked, sipping at her tea which somehow she'd avoided spilling. "I'm going to leave now, okay?"
Magpie groaned, sitting up a little bit and trying to recover. "How did you… How did you do that?"
"Call it good luck." Hazard shrugged. "See you around." She confidently walked out of the house and shut the door behind her.
As Magpie recovered from her rather embarrassing fall, Jenna hurried up to her to make sure she was okay. "So, um, what happened?"
"Jenna, if I'm completely honest, I have no fucking idea. We should probably tell Harley and Ivy about what happened once they get back." Magpie carefully got to her feet. "I think I've got a headache now though."
"Try drinking some more tea." Jenna turned around and started making her way back to the kitchen. "I think that'll help you feel better."
"God, I hope so…" Magpie sighed. "Those girls had better buy something nice for me while I'm out. I put up with way too much bullshit."
The girls left the mall a little while ago after taking Harley down to the food court. She ended up ordering a cheeseburger and a large chocolate milkshake for herself. Selina and Ivy ended up getting some milkshakes for themselves too. They figured since they were having fun out at the mall they might as well indulge themselves.
After going to the food court the three women left the mall and took the bus home. When they disembarked the bus about a block or two away from the apartment, all three of them had more or less finished their milkshakes. Harley was greedy and all she had left were the dregs of her beverage but Selina and Icy were more reserved and had a bit more left to drink.
"Man, what an awesome day!" Harley giggled before taking a few more sips of her mostly empty milk shake cup. "I got a sexy new dress, gotta hang out with my best friend and my girlfriend and I got a milkshake!"
"I'm glad you had fun." Ivy smiled at Harley and leaned in to kiss her cheek, making Harley giggle more in response.
"You're sweet, Pammy. Sweeter than sugar!" Harley giggled, kissing Ivy right back.
"So are you both just gonna be constantly kissing each other now?" Selina chuckled.
"I think we're just excited." Ivy smiled. "We literally only realized we loved each other last night. Once the initial excitement wears off we'll be a lot less kissy."
"But we won't love each other any less!" Harley cheered. "Seriously Pam, I've had this little flutterin' feeling inside me all day."
"That's cute." Ivy smiled. "If it keeps happening, see a doctor."
"Ah relax, I am a doctor!" Harley started laughing so hard it turned into a snorting typ eof noise.
The girls eventually made it to Ivy's buildings and ascended the elevator up to Ivy's floor. They'd discarded their now empty milkshake cups before reaching the floor. Ivy approached the door to her apartment and took out her keys only to find it unlocked.
"Ah dammit, I forgot to lock the door again." Ivy sighed, opening it up.
"Maybe Magpie unlocked it." Harley suggested, following the other girls inside.
"Now why would she…" Ivy trailed off, spotting Magpie sitting on the catch beside the Carpenter. Currently Magpie was nursing a head injury and pressing a pack of frozen peas wrapped in a cloth rag against her head. "Oh, hello Magpie. What happened here?"
"We had a visitor. She wasn't very nice." Magpie frowned. "Uh, not you Jenna. You've been very helpful." She glanced at the Carpenter.
"Hey girls!" Jenna waved at them. "I was hoping you'd show up soon. I made some tea if you're interested."
"Aww that's real nice of ya!" Harley cheered. "I'm good though, thanks for askin'."
"Um, Magpie, what exactly happened?" Selina asked. "That seems to be the most important thing here."
"Right, right." Magpie nodded, sanding up from the couch. "So, Harley, remember that weird gambler girl, Hazard?"
"Oh yeah, she seemed like an alright gal." Harley nodded. "What about her?"
"Well, she showed up today. And she seemed pretty pissed off at you specifically." Magpie explained.
"Oh…" Harley trailed off. "That ain't good."
"Yeah, I'll say." Magpie replied. "Oh and she said she wants to create a team to take you down. She was trying to recruit me into it but I told her no."
"Good on you, Mags!" Harley pulled her into a tight hug. "I knew I could trust ya to be loyal to me."
"Uh, yeah, no problem Harley." Magpie nodded. "Please let go… Your grip is very tight."
"Heh, whoopsie!" Harley cheered and let go of Magpie.
"Wait a minute, should we be worried about this Hazard girl?" Selina asked. "I mean, she sounds kinda serious."
"I dunno, she didn't seem like too big a threat when I fought her. I think I punched a few of her teeth out." Harley thought for a moment and giggled. "Whatever she throws at us we can counter just fine!"
"For our sakes I hope you're right." Ivy sighed.
Harley flopped over onto the couch with the other girls, sighing a bit. "Feels good to be back home…"
"You girls have fun, I need to get back to my place and check on my cats." Selina waved goodbye to the Ivy and Harley.
Harley waved back to her and Ivy gave Selina a quick kiss on the cheek before they left. After Selina closed the door behind her, Ivy took notice of some mail on the floor that had apparently been pushed in under the door. She picked it up and thumbed through it for a moment.
"Hey Harl, looks like someone sent us some stuff." Ivy casually walked over to the couch.
"Ooh, what kinda stuff?" Harley asked. "This better not be another videotape death threat."
"Nope, no VHS in here." Ivy shook her head.
"Phew, that's a relief." Harley sighed. "So, what do ya got in there?"
Ivy looked over the mail and smiled. "Oh, this one looks interesting."
Harley stood up and got closer to Ivy. "What'cha got?"
"Coupons for a local spa." Ivy smiled. She handed a brightly coloured coupon advertising something called Paula's Spa.
"Ooh, that's neat. I love a good spa treatment!" Harley cheered and looked over the coupon. "Let's see, saunas, massages… Gee, this place seems pretty neat! Can we go? Can we, can we? It sounds super romantic!"
"One step at a time, Harl." Ivy chuckled. She brushed her fingers through Harley's hair. "I do like the idea though." She sat back down on the couch and beckoned for Harley to sit next to her.
Harley giggled and sat down beside Ivy. She snuggled up against her and rested her head against Ivy's shoulder. "I love ya so much, Red… You 'n me, we're gonna go places together. Just watch…"
"Wait, are those two girlfriends now?" Jenna asked, whispering to Magpie.
"Yeah, pretty much." Magpie nodded and whispered back.
Jenna was quiet for a moment before she responded. "Well, good for them. They're cute."
"Aww, thanks!" Harley giggled. She reached across the couch and poked Jenna's nose. "Boop!"
"Uh, you're welcome." Jenna nodded.
Harley laughed some more and cuddled herself against Ivy some more. "Love ya Red…"
"Love you too Harl…" Ivy pressed a kiss into Harley's head.
"You 'n me Red… We'll be together for the end…" Harley felt happy at that moment. She wanted to be with Ivy forever, just sitting on the couch and watching TV with her. It seemed like everything was perfect.
Far away from the cozy apartment building Hazard walked down the streets of Gotham by herself. She hummed to herself, seeming happy. She'd been walking in a circle around the block for a few minutes now as if she was waiting for something.
A black van pulled up on the curb and Hazard smiled, walking up to it as the back doors opened up. Smiling, she stepped into the back only to find her brother Steven Sharpe the Fifth waiting for her in the driver's seat.
"So Becky, how'd it go?" Steven smiled optimistically.
"Not too well. Magpie rejected the offer." Hazard shook her head. "Now Harley probably knows about us."
"Well, it's not the end of the world." Steven chuckled. "C'mon Becky, there's still plenty of other people to check."
"Who should we go for next?"
"Hmm… How about Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Word on the street is they've got a grudge against Quinn."
"Let's check them out in that case."
Steven nodded and started up the car. "Heh, when we're done Ms. Quinn ain't gonna know what hit her."
