Harley and Poison Ivy made their way into the warehouse about thirty minutes after sunrise. The Joker wasn't there yet so they had to wait an hour for him to finally return. Harley was still very excited to introduce Poison Ivy to him. Her face lit up as she saw the Joker walking in.
"Puddin', you're back!" Harley said skipping up to him.
The Joker put his hand up, "Where is everyone?" he asked.
Harley looked down. "Well, you see, I couldn't quite find anyone out there, they were all—"
"What do you mean you couldn't find anyone, I was expecting a minimum of at least fifty people." The Joker said gritting his teeth.
"Well, I did find someone." Harley stepped back and gestured toward Poison Ivy. Harley barely noticed there were others walking in.
"Her?" The Joker said getting angrier.
Harley put her hands on her hips. "Wait now, before you get mad—"
"You were supposed to get me an army!" The Joker yelled. "What am I supposed to do with her, sweetie!" he lifted his hand up but before he could hit Harley, Poison Ivy stopped him, wrapping his arm with her vine.
"Stop!" Poison Ivy yelled. "You do not treat her that way!"
The Joker looked at Poison Ivy surprised. "Oh," he said smiling. "Now I see why you brought her, dear." he looked down at Harley who was a little frightened but smiled anyways.
Poison Ivy unwrapped her vine from the Joker's arm. The Joker started walking up to her, "And what might you're name be?"
"Her name's Poison Ivy, I found her running away from the cops." Harley said.
"You'd make a great addition to the team, Poison Ivy." the Joker said menacingly. "How good are you with those vines of yours?"
"Well, there's more to me than my vines. I could show you but I'm afraid you'd be dead before I finish my demonstration." Poison Ivy said.
"Interesting, perhaps you could me with ol' Harley here." the Joker said wrapping his fingers around Harley's cheeks.
"No." Poison Ivy said wrapping her vine around his arm again to pull him away from Harley.
The Joker laughed and took a close look at the vine. He looked at Poison Ivy, "Oh I like you."
Harley was happy that the Joker liked Poison Ivy but felt a little jealous. She cleared her throat, "So who'd ya bring with you sweetie?"
"Right, where are my manners? Harley, Poison Ivy, allow me to introduce to you the rest of our team." the Joker said.
Three men were walking up towards them, Harley and Poison Ivy could barely see them. They stepped out of the shadows, smiling.
"This is the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and the Penguin." the Joker said gesturing to the three men.
"Hello!" said the Riddler enthusiastically walking up to Harley and Poison Ivy, shaking their hands. The Riddler was dressed in all dark green, dirty clothes, including his hat. His voice was loud and excited. His eyes were very dark, Harley wasn't sure if he was wearing make-up or if he was just covered in dirt. Poison Ivy was skeptical of him.
"Uh, hi there." said Harley.
"Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot." said the Penguin offering his hand to Harley and Poison Ivy. They both shook it. "That's my full name, just call me the Penguin for short." the Penguin was dressed very formally, almost the opposite of the Riddler. His voice was raspy. He was wearing a clean tuxedo, complete with a top hat, and had an umbrella in hand. His face frightened Harley a little, he had a long penguin-like nose and suddenly Harley understood his name.
"Enough with the introductions, when do we start destroying the Batman?" said Mr. Freeze impatiently. Harley and Poison Ivy were very curious about what he was wearing. It looked like he was wearing a giant suit that kept him cool and Poison Ivy realized that that was exactly what it was. She couldn't see his eyes clearly but she could tell he was very pale, almost the same shade of the Ice around his suit.
"I'm getting to that." said the Joker. "Here's the plan, listen up all of you, I'm not repeating myself." he started walking behind the table which Harley and Poison Ivy were sitting on, and sat down on the chair. "Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle's big wedding day is coming up and the whole city is talking about it, it's practically gonna be shown as a live event, which means everyone will be watching. Everyone including the Batman."
"Interesting." the Penguin said placing both hands on his umbrella.
"What better way to show our congrats than to attend the wedding ourselves. We trash the place and send out a message to the Batman, let him know that what we have planned is bigger than anything's Gotham's ever faced. You all still have your weapons correct?" said the Joker.
The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and the Penguin all looked at each other.
"I'm liking where this is going. Perhaps this isn't a waste of time." Mr. Freeze said.
"The only thing that's missing is my army that Harley neglected to bring me." the Joker said standing up.
"Don't worry puddin', I could get 50 people by tonight. Both Ivy and I could get em'. They'll be ready." Harley said standing up and walking to the Joker.
"Get me 200 men in two days or you're out. Both of you!" the Joker said pushing Harley away. "Now, here's how it's all going to happen…"
