Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn 1

Part 1 Intruder in the Night

Chapter 5

Harley and Ivy awoke hours later to the sound of explosions and gunfire coming from above.

"Whaa-? "Exclaimed Harley clearly still half asleep.

"I don't know Harls, wait here I'll go check it out." Replied Ivy, with a tint of worry in her voice as she quickly dressed.

Ivy walked over to the plant covered wall and gently stroked it, the plant reacted instantly to her touch and Ivy's mind briefly left her body as it was transferred to one of her guard trees above ground. Ivy let out a quiet gasp, the fertiliser warehouse was in ruins, and remains of her beloved companions lay burning on the ground but it seems they did not die in vain as bodies of the attackers lay amongst her fallen comrades too. The attackers in question made her blood run cold, decked out in spotted suits with white face paint and red noses to complete the costume these were obviously the Joker's henchmen.

A dark solitary figure emerged out of the smoke, a large weapon clutched in his hands, a blaze of fire erupted from the end encasing Ivy, burning her and eating away her branches turning her into ashes, her eyes glued to his ever smiling face, the happiness on his face non disguisable as he watched her burn, her vision blurred and Ivy found her once again in her own body.

"Pammy?" a worried voice behind her spoke. Ivy turned to look at Harley and almost took a step back in surprise, Harley looked almost childlike, her eyes wide with fear her hands clutched together close to her chest.

"It's him isn't it? He's come too take me back. Hasn't he?" Harley asked, panic clear in her voice.

"No", Ivy began firmly. "Not if I have anything to do about it. Let's go." Giving a nod towards the exit.

The two girls rushed to the hatch that led out of the hideout. Ivy paused briefly and looked back, at the plants she had lovingly raised, at the table she had successfully experimented with transporting her mind into plants and lastly at the bed she and Harley had made love on the night before, she knew now she couldn't return here now that it had been overrun by the Joker. A brief tug on her up brought her back to the situation at hand. Escape. Ivy brushed away the thought. Main priority get up and out. Ivy grabbed the rungs of the ladder and began climbing with Harley close behind.

They were almost to the top when the hatch exploded, sending both girls flying across the room. Harley landed roughly on the bed while a not so lucky Ivy went crashing into the chemistry table, glass smashed the table broke and chemicals went everywhere. Ivy looked up as once again the Joker emerged out of the smoke and dust.

The Jokers maniacal laugh rang through the chamber, echoing of the walls. "Ladies, so sorry to 'barge' in like this but you. Pointing a long purple gloved finger at Ivy. "Have something of mine, which I want back."

Ivy looked back at him, playing innocent, "Me? She asked. "What would I have of yours, I wouldn't steal ANYTHING from you."

"Oh, don't play dumb with me, I'm leaving with Harley one way or another." sneered The Joker, as he pulled a pile of razor cards from his pocket.

"Over. My. Cold. Dead. Body. Clown." Ivy yelled back, bracing herself for what was to come.

"Oh, I was hopping you'd say that." Laughed The Joker happily, as he flung a card at Ivy.

Ivy, expecting it dived behind the bed. The card went whizzing past but then arched and came back at her, Ivy panicked and ran.

"HA Ha Ha, I had them modified so they have similar properties to Batsie's stupid batarangs, there's nowhere to run.

Ivy realised he was right, a moment too late as one clipped her on the ankle sending her tumbling across the floor.

Ivy summoned up her strength and let out a telepathic signal too her plants, but got nothing in return,

Something beeped in The Jokers pocket as he slowly walked over to Ivy intent on finishing the job.

"No use trying to contact your tree friends Ivy, Me and my henchmen have already seen to that." He laughed.

"How?" Ivy stammered through grit teeth, the pain in her ankle unbearable, she didn't even have the stomach to look at it.

"Quite easy really. The Joker began. "Implanted a Bug in Harleys costume then kicked her out knowing shed come straight here."

"My bestest friend in the whole world." He stated mimicking Harley's voice. "Or that's what I thought until I listened to you two last night, I'd have to say it didn't surprise me."

"You bastard!" Ivy yelled.

"Oh come now Pamela, your last resort is name calling" he laughed, "I've got you cornered and about to kill you and you decide to do that? I thought that was below you, Oh well at least your 'GIRLFRIEND" can watch you bleed to death." He giggled as he threw the card at Ivy."

"No!" a voice yelled and in a blur of black and red Harley launched herself in front of Ivy, the card nicking her neck, Harley crashed to the ground and groaned.

The Joker just stared for a moment then spoke. "What a harsh twist of events but no matter, she was disposable" he nervously giggled as he noticed the murderous look directed at him from Ivy, then brushed it off. "You now have a choice chase me now for revenge or try to save your "GIRLFRIEND'" he said, sneering at the last word. Then he was gone.

Ivy rushed over to Harley, blood flowing from her neck and with no plants at hand she knew Harley didn't have much time,

"Harls? Baby look at me." Ivy asked through a panicked voice that wasn't hers, tears streaming down her face. "I'm gunna try and get us to a hospital, they can save you."

Harley opened her mouth and the noise that came out could only barely be described as words, "Don't kid yourself Pammy it'll only make letting go worse."

"No! Ivy exclaimed "don't talk like that, what about last night, does that mean nothing too you, I love you Harls, I need you without you I'm nothing."

Harley raised a bloodied hand and brushed the tears from Ivy's eyes and face. Her voice came out rasping, "Don't do this to yourself Pamela, and don't tear yourself apart because of this, we're criminals remember, this- was- bound- to- happen- eventually-" Harley rasped , eyebrows fluttering.

"No! Not yet! Please, just stay with me a bit longer Baby, come on Harley stay with me." Ivy begged.

"One- Last- Kiss- Goodbye." Harley wheezed.

"Anything Baby, Anything." Ivy sobbed as she learnt in.

The kiss was short but sweet, it summed up Harley and Ivy's relationship, their friendship their love and everything in between. And when Ivy broke the kiss Harley was gone. She sat crying for ages clutching the body of her only friend, her only lover, never wanting to let her go. A dense, thick cloud surrounded Ivy and pulled her under, smothering her, pulling her away from Harley away from everything, till she was falling, down… down… down…
