Selina had done a scout of the shelter, successfully evaded Ivy and could see no evidence of any other intruder. She sat on the roof looking at the moon and frowned. Why is Ivy holding Harley captive? It's not unusual for us all to fight occasionally but those two are usually close. I think it's time Harley answers some questions.
She found the blonde curled up on the floor with plant debris all around her crying hysterically and hugging her phone. "Harley?"
Harley looked up and smiled feebly "Hey Kitty." She sniffed unattractively and sighed deeply.
Selina couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, she had the worst luck, well certainly in her taste for men and now was fighting with her friend. She sat down next to her and Harley looked at her with those big teary baby blue eyes and Selina put a comforting arm around her. "What happened?"
Harley sobbed "I-I tried to answer the phone but I-I couldn't and now...now...I dunno what to do Kitty." She cried into Selina's shoulder.
Selina sighed she reminded her a little bit of Holly when she got upset, and she couldn't help but feel maternal. "Is that what you and Ivy fought about?"
Harley looked up confused "What? Me and Red? We didn't fight." She flushed red.
Selina frowned, why was she embarrassed about it? It wasn't as if it was a hard thing to do, she herself had found herself bound and tortured by the green goddess. The memories of which made Selina scowl. "If you didn't fight then why the hell were you tied up in her vines?"
Harley stammered and glanced around the room "No I mean Mistah J he was calling and, and, and oh Kitty what will I do if he doesn't talk to me again?!"
Selina growled, what Harley saw in that psychotic maniac she would never know. "Harley if the Joker never spoke to you again it would be a blessing!" Harley looked at her sharply "Do you not remember the state you came home in last time? Harley you couldn't walk, eat or sleep for weeks!"
Harley's bottom lip started to quiver at the memory "B-but it was my fault! I-" she was cut off by Selina abruptly standing and knocking Harley off balance who barely caught herself in time and dropped the phone which cracked the screen and the light died. She looked up angrily "Hey! What's the big idea?!"
Selina scoffed at the blonde "He is a dangerous mental lunatic Harley and you always bow down to him! No matter what he does, no matter how he hurts you you come to us for safety we put you back together and as soon as you're well you run back off to him for more punishment! I'm sick of it!"
Harley looked down at her broken phone sadly "You sound just like Red..."
Ahh so it was about the Joker, unsurprising really; Ivy hated him more than most. "Well she does take care of you when you come back and then you run off and leave her alone again."
"You're here."
"Yes but Ivy loves you."
"What?!" Harley looked at her in shock. Red loves me?
"Come on Harley of course she does! Why do you think she patches you up every time? She can barely spend anytime around humans but she never complains about hanging out with you does she?"
"I guess not..." Harley was experiencing a pleasant glow radiating from her heart and she smiled "You really think she loves me?" Why do I feel all gooey whenever I say that?
Selina shook her head "Well maybe love's a bit strong" she laughed "I don't know if she's capable!" She held out a helping hand to the blonde.
Harley's heart sank. Oh...she doesn't love me, love me...not like the way Puddin' loves me. She sighed as she took Selina's hand and stood. Wait why do I feel sad? This is stupid! I have my Puddin' and that's all I need why do I care about Red?! She mentally told herself off but there was an ember in her heart that wouldn't fully be extinguished, she frowned and stomped off shaking her phone in frustration.
Selina shook her head. That girl was nearly as mad as the Joker, sobbing one minute, ecstatic the next and now stomping off like a toddler having a tantrum. She sighed as she followed the blonde. Women.
