Chapter 2
Escape from Gotham Prison
It had been three months since Harley and Ivy had been defeated by Batgirl and Supergirl and now were in Gotham prison. They had tried four times to escape but all had failed. Ivy was trying to think of another way to escape, which was easier said than done.
"Hey, Pamela." Harley said walking over to the table. "Wanna play a round of go fish?"
"Not know Harley." Ivy said then whispered so as not to be heard by any of the guards. "I'm trying to think of a way to get us out of hell hole."
"You've got all day to plan..." Harley was about to say escape but noticed a guard was about to walk past them. "...to make a garden." she said with a smile. Ivy gave her a confused look, then the guard walked by them.
"What this about a garden?" he asked. The guards had been instructed to keep a watch on Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn after their first escape attempt much to the two women's annoyance.
"Oh, just something she wants to do in her spare time." Harley said, faking an innocent smile. The guard looked at Ivy.
"Is this true?" he asked the green-skin woman.
"Yes. The lack of plant life around here makes it feel so dull and lifeless. I thought I just make the place look more lively." Ivy said.
"Just don't try any uses it for another one your escape plan." he said before leaving the two.
"So..." Harley asked holding up the cards.
"After I think of a plan."
"Fine. See ya later Red." Harley said leaving the table to find someone else to play cards with.
"Later Harley." Ivy said. "You beautiful woman." she whispered to herself. Ever since Harley had left the Joker to live with Ivy, the redhead had begun to develop feelings for her but decided to keep it to herself. Whilst same-sex couples were becoming more excepted in Gotham, there were still several people who still despised the idea. Ivy was already given a bad name to environmentalists due to her life as an eco-terrorist. If any homophobic people saw her and Harley as a couple then it could be a giant step back for the community and she didn't want Harley to be targeted by those kinds of people especially after the way she had been treated by the Joker.
As Poison Ivy tried to think of a plan, she also thought of what Harley said about making a prison garden. It was only a cover story but she liked the idea. The only problem was there was a part of the prison yard that wasn't covered in concrete and even if the was a large enough green patch she would still need at least one seed... that was when Ivy got an idea for how to escape.
Meanwhile, Harley was trying to ask any of the other people if they would like to play a round of cards.
"Any of you wanna try and bet me a gin rummy?" she asked.
"Bet it Clowney." a large woman said.
"You sure you don't wanna play?" Harley asked, just as Ivy walked towards her.
"Would you like me to knock your teeth out!" the woman said lifting Harley by the collar of her outfit.
"Hey, Mandy! Put her down!" Ivy shouted. Mandy's fist stopped only a few in front of Harley's face.
"Or what Flower girl? You gonna throw your little petals at me?" Mandy said. Suddenly Ivy kicked Mandy in the stomach causing the latter to fall and drop Harley.
"Thanks, Red." Harley said picking herself up off the floor.
"Don't mention it." Ivy said.
"Why you green-skinned freak!" Mandy lunged towards Ivy but missed and accidentally hitting a passing guard.
"Mandy Fleischer!" he shouted "This is the third this week. You earned yourself three weeks of solitary confinement." Another guard came over and help him take Mandy away. She looked back and glared at the two women who had gotten her into trouble. Ivy smirked whilst Harley stuck out her tongue, one of the guards looked back causing Harley to whistle and Ivy to give a neutral look so that they didn't get into trouble.
Later that night Harley and Ivy were in their cell. Ivy waited for the guards to finish their patrol before she told Harley her idea. Two guards walked by the cell and stopped stared at the two women. "Don't even think about trying to escape." one of the guards said. Ivy and Harley pretended not to hear. The guards continued on their petrol, once they were finished they exited the room and turned off the lights.
"Ok Pamela, what's the plan?" Harley asked whispering with excitement.
"Simple, I'm going to grow a plant, large enough to take down the guards and broke us out. However, I'm going to need a seed." Ivy said.
"Why not just uses the grass in the courtyard?" the blond asked.
"Grass isn't strong enough. It's going have to be a seed from any kind of fruit."
"How are we going to get a fruit seed? They won't even let you near a flower." Harley pointed out.
"I thought of that. Here's what I want you to do." Ivy said and then whispered the rest of the plan into Harley's ear.
The next day Harley was waiting at the fence of the right side of the courtyard. She was waiting for someone. Someone who would be the key to her and Ivy's escape. Finally, a man appeared eating an apple. It was time for Harley to act on her part of the plan. She checked to make sure that there were no guards nearby.
"Hey doofuss." she yelled. "Did you fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down? Because your face looks like a warthog after got beaten with an ugly stick." The man was furious. He valued his physical appearance above anything else, even though Harley's insult was an accurate description of his looks.
"How dare you say that to me." he shouted. "Take that back all I'll..."
"Or you'll what?" Harley interrupted. "You'll throw that apple at me walrus face." This angered the man to no end. He threw the apple which hit the fence and then he left grumbling to himself. Although most of the fruit was outside of the courtyard, a few small bits had landed on the other side including one seed. Harley quickly picked up the seed a hid it in her left hair bobble and walked away from the fences.
That night, after the guards had finished their patrol and turned the lights off the two women started their plan.
"Did get one?" Ivy asked.
"Will this do?" Harley asked. Taking the apple seed out of her hair bobble and showed it to Ivy.
"Perfect." the redhead said. She then used her powers and the seed began to grow.
A red light went off alerting the guards of an escape.
"I think I know which two it is." one of the guards said. They ran to the door but just as they got there the door was suddenly burst open by a large plant which knocked out some of the guards, the ones that were still standing ran into the room just as Ivy and Harley escaped through the wall caused by the plant.
"Who let Ivy near a plant!" shouted the head guard as the plant held the guard in place. The plant also took the items that Harley and Ivy had been taken from them when they were locked away. It gave the items back to the duo.
A few hours later the two of them had found a new place to hide in. It was an abandoned warehouse. It was dark and damp.
"Say hello to our new home." Ivy said. Putting her belongings on a table causing a small dust cloud.
"Couldn't find somewhere that's less...dusty?" Harley asked waving her hand to get rid of the dust.
"Sure, we can go to a five-star hotel with a swimming pool." Ivy said sarcastically.
"Ok, ok. But how long are we gonna live here?" Harley asked.
"Until the heat dies down. So get conformable." Ivy said.
"Fine." Harley said.
The two began to organize their stuff. One area of the warehouse would be for Ivy's work and another area for Harley to goof around. It may have been a less than desirable place to live but it was the best they could do with the law hunting them down.
Please leave a review. Tell me what you liked about it, what you didn't like about it, and how I can improve for future chapters and stories.
