"Valentine's Day is a well known holiday that celebrates the union between two beings with a strong emotion of passion for one another. The entire universe celebrates this holiday in the ways and manners that allowed them to express their love towards each other, on earth, it was celebrated across every country and city. Especially how it involves heroes and villains since the love life is not for everyone due to the consequences of endangering the people in their lives. Unless their super villains such as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, they can share each other's emotions without thinking about the consequences due to them being villains. Yet not everyone shares their type of excitement for the holiday."
Gotham City-Night Time
Tonight, on this rare occasion both sides of good and evil ignore most of their usual objectives in looking over their respective cities to enjoy Valentine's Day. Such as Gotham City is considered the most criminal filled city in the country, across the entire area everyone was enjoying one another's time and does different things to show their love for each other. Right now at Harley and Ivy's apartment was the couple watching several movies about romantic comedies which eventually end in disaster and resolve strangely.
"Seriously peanut if it wasn't for Valentine's Day then I would have considered us watching educational news on plant life."
Ivy gave her honest answers about her not being a fan of cheesy movies with plots that were too easy to see coming. Harley merely laughed a bit at her joke since she wasn't that much into romantic movies, but that was before they became an actual couple. They used to make fun of it since most people would try to get their attention, now it's funny and a good way to enjoy the evening.
"Really? Because the movies I pick always have the schmuck acting too much for the hot girl to do almost anything to impress her. Which reminds me of someone who tried to convince me about changing who I should have a crush on."
Responding to her wife as Harley was describing Ivy convincing her to dump Joker and become her villain, which leads them down a messed up journey to finally realizing they belong to one another. The redhead merely gave Harley a glare seeing how she was trying to be cryptic about their relationship and the movie they were watching, but she couldn't get annoyed with her on this holiday.
"Now don't start getting lovey dovey on me. You've already been acting like that since you woke up with the candy, gift cards, and of course. The babies."
Stating to Harley that she's been more than supportive today and on how she had given her almost everything that resembled the holiday except for handing out flowers since she was against it. Especially how Ivy pointed out to the side where Harley gave Bud and Lou clothing that resembled Ivy to show they were loyal to her just as the pair were to Harley.
"Well, they need to know they have two moms. Isn't that right boys?"
Harley looked at the hyenas as Bud and Lou looked at Ivy and on command, they pounced on her beginning to lick her face. Pamela began to laugh at the affection she was getting from the hyenas leaving Harley to smile at the boys licking their other mother.
"Harley! Stop your kids before I become the serious parent!"
Laughing threw the licks since Ivy wasn't the licking type leaving Harley to whistle the pair of her and settle down. Taking a moment to look for some napkins, Ivy smiled at how Harley knew how to manage the hyenas since she's had them for a long time. It made her proud of how far she's changed from being her therapist to a criminal clown princess of crime.
"Shame. I was thinking you'd be the 'Ruley but sometimes fun' mother around the kids. But around me the 'Seductive' wife that tie me up in bed and have her way with me."
Giving her a smile towards Ivy and crawling onto her like a hyena seeing how she was in the mood to have fun tonight. Ivy couldn't help herself due to how she came right towards her and sat on her lap, wrapping her arms around her neck and pretending to growl like a hyena. Seeing how they enjoyed the movies and cuddling with one another for the past several hours she could tell Harley wanted to have her Valentine's Day 'fun'.
"And I have been aching to be used by my wifey~"
Pleading for Ivy to have fun with her and possibly use her vines along other types of things that she wouldn't mind Ivy would do to her. The green skin woman couldn't help but smile at Harley acting cute as she decided to entertain the idea by starting with a kiss. Though just before they could have any type of fun, the door slammed right open which startled the pair leaving Harley to fall on the ground. Both of them looked at the door to see who interrupted them as it was Bebop who looked both upset and annoyed which wasn't like him since he usually had a smile on his face.
"This holiday is bullshit and I want to fucking blow it up boss!"
Shouting angered as well seemed to be asking Harley that they go on a villain rampage to ruin the holiday feeling for everyone. The women looked confused as they saw Bebop going into his room still upset for whatever reason, while also noticing Rocksteady having a box of chocolate that was sent to him.
"Horn boy. Explain why he's acting like a drama queen."
Ivy asked Rocksteady about what was making him angry, this left the rhino to groan at her question since he was the one around him when they decided to go out for the night. Walking over to share his chocolate with the pair, it was going to be a rough explanation to tell the two.
"It started with Bebop trying to convince Karai to hang out with him since they've grown from 'sex buddies' to 'hanging out buddies'. Except she's been keeping a closer eye out in Gotham city if there were any signs of the Foot lingering around since she doesn't trust her dad. And while she does care for him she's not a fan of Valentine's Day, plus he's been seeing a bunch of couples which got him pissed off and me getting candy from my love Power girl."
Explaining what was wrong with Bebop and how he wanted to start breaking stuff to help forget this feeling. Harley knew the feeling since she'd tried to get Joker's attention with all kinds of gimmicks, yet never given her any type of affection in return. Seeing this made her feel sorry for Bebop since he's always been around for her and Rocksteady when they came to Gotham. Continuing to think about this they saw coming out of Bebop and Rocksteady's room the mutant with numerous weapons in a box and his boombox.
"Okay. I've got the tunes for us to listen to, your mallet and my chainsaw. We should go to those bars that are doing those karaoke specials, seriously they skip out on chocolate fudge for candy apples as snacks."
Showing Harley what he wanted to use for their Valentine rampage which he seemed ready to let out his anger out. The clown girl looked at this rather hostile mutant and back to her wife to see if she could handle it. Ivy, gestured to handle this since she didn't want her evening ruined by a warthog who was upset with not getting attention.
"Bebop? As much as I would love to go on a senseless rampage and start shit up for no reason. This is something that can be fixed, if you just stop to think about it. Which isn't normal for us since breaking stuff is how we solve things."
Approaching him as a friend and therapist since Bebop was acting on instinct and emotion which wasn't a good mix when it came to going on a rampage. Before Bebop could respond back at her, Harley bopped him on the nose like if he was Bud or Lou when they wouldn't listen to her. This got the others confused since she seemed control of the situation, which was a first since she enjoyed causing chaos.
"Now. What I suggest as your boss, and best friend since we've both cried and bleed together to handle this to let me handle this. Now me and Ivy are going go out for an hour, so call Karai to come over. I'm going help you out on this holiday. There's no way in hell I'm going let you not enjoy this day, even if it's cheesy."
Informing him how that she couldn't enjoy the holiday with one of her boys being down in the dump and start trouble. Ivy got suspicious about what Harley was planning as she decided to go along with it and see what she had in mind. Getting up and following her wife the two would get dressed to prepare for their trip, meanwhile Rocksteady raised his eyebrow to Bebop for how he was acting.
"Come on buddy, you shouldn't worry about Karai. You still got me and them, plus the chocolate we can eat together."
Responding to his friend's dilemma and that if his girl wasn't going show him any attention on a holiday that involves two people being romantically intertwined, Bebop still had his friends to hang out with. The warthog merely grumbled before sitting by his friend and deciding to go along with what Harley said about bringing Karai over since she might have an idea on what to do about them. Rocksteady noticed it as well decided to call his girlfriend over just in case which gained a questionable look from Bebop.
"What? Karai still scares the shit out of me. If she's coming over then I want my girl to stay with me just in case things go to hell."
Responding about that even though the two had fought numerous individuals and survived the worst types of punishments. Karai still knew how to get the better of him since she was responsible for their mutation and how to hurt them. Bebop sadly nodded since it was the truth and knew if anyone could withstand someone like her, it be the cousin of Superman.
Later-Etrigan's Oceans of Potion and Lotion
Half of the businesses closed for the holiday and none of them was the one that Harley had in mind to help her friend out. She was fortunate enough to hear from Enchantress about this small store that had all types of items that could help anyone, with the right price of course. Walking into the store they saw a wide variety of options and different types of items that belong in a renaissance fair, and possibly a graveyard. Ivy felt concerned since this felt like they were being watched from the shadows, but it was from a small jar of eyeballs glaring at them.
"While I do encourage you to ask for help from others, I didn't think it is a thousand year old witch who still has Darkseid's number in her phone."
Questioning that getting help from Enchantress wasn't exactly smart but dangerous since the last time she requested help from her. It resulted in half of the destruction of Gotham due to the deal she made with the new god.
"Yeah, but she's lightened up. See? Right now June is with Shinigami giving her a bit of the old tour around the place. Even girls from New York need some companionship."
Harley told Ivy that while the Enchantress was impossible to understand more or less unpredictable. June Moone was more than enough to be trusted, pulling out her phone it showed a photo of Shinigami hanging out with June at a small coffee stand watching television. Handing it to Ivy she sees the screen changing to Shinigami being seduced by Enchantress and introduced to other types of magic and other means of pleasure.
"That and some coffee that Shinigami is going to need for the morning."
Speaking quietly since she was going to need it if Shinigami planned on spending a night with the Enchantress. Continuing to walk around the store they noticed a fire stirring around the carpet and emerging out of the ground, coming out was the owner of the store and possibly another frightening wielder of magic like the Enchantress, Etrigan.
"Those who speak the witch's name shall have their tongues taken in vain. But on Valentine's Day, everyone must pay."
Doing a rhyme for them since it was one of the traits that most people know him for, especially when it came to being an antihero who enjoys making criminals suffer. Not letting him get the better of her, Harley kept her focus and was about to explain why she was there.
"Nice introduction. I heard you could help with anyone when it comes to certain problems, and this problem can be solved with."
"Sex spell."
Etrigan interrupted her leaving Harley and Ivy confused at how he was able to figure out what she wanted. The yellow skin demon pointed at one of the shelves showing numerous sex based potions and items that were sold out. Etrigan decided to check if there was anything left for them to buy, while Ivy got suspicious since it was odd for her to look for something that she could do already.
"Really? A sex spell for the warthog? Why not ask me to use my pheromones? Seriously I feel like most people forget I can do that."
Asking why Harley would buy a sex spell when she could manipulate pheromones to drive Bebop and Karai to have sex with each other. Along with that, it happened once when they were dealing with the strange abductions from TCRI.
"Yeah, but it should be something special for the moment for Valentine's Day. Plus that trick of yours could get a lot of attention from weirdos that might want to take it."
Harley gave her two reasons why she didn't want Ivy to use her pheromone powers that much since anyone could try and take it. With her finishing the explanation the two see Etrigan coming out with a scroll in his hand that seemed what Harley would want for just the occasion.
"In this scroll is what you seek but be weary, it is not for the weak."
Warning her that it wasn't exactly what she expects and wouldn't be able to withstand the power from the scroll. Bringing out the money to pay for school, Harley thanked the demon before leaving the store excited to see how she could help out her friend. With Ivy following her wife she could feel the demon's gaze on her which made her skin tense up.
"You seem tense when you notice my sight, changes that are coming which might come as a fright?"
Asking if he knew something about the deal that Luthor made about her being a leader of a new Legion of Doom team. Not answering the question, she merely exchanged holiday compliments for the moment and made her exit from the store. Etrigan merely chuckled amused by knowing that there was much to come for Ivy and Harley, though instead of stopping them he would decide and watch to see how things would turn out. Attending his shop he heard another customer entering inside it was Bane who seemed anxious and making sure no one else was inside, meaning Etrigan knew what he needed from him.
"Men are from Mars, women from Venus. Let me guess you need a bigger penis."
Already asking Bane what he wanted as the masked criminal tried to ignore the response, but nodded since he might need it for someone special tonight. Such as everyone who requested the demon's services on Valentine's Day.
Later-Harley and Ivy's Apartment
Back at the apartment were the two mutants with both of their respective girlfriends Karai and Power Girl, who both were confused at the sudden call here since Karen was on patrol duty in Metropolis while her cousin was with Lois Lane on date night. Karai was much the same since she wasn't the one to take a break on a holiday, even if nothing was happening.
"If this is an attempt to try and make me 'relax' then I'm not interested. We can do that when it's just us."
Karai harshly stated to Bebop how when it was the both of them alone, she was putty in his hands while Bebop was sturdy in a fight. He somehow manages to tame her dominant side and allow her carnal desires to come out. It was a weakness she didn't want anyone to see, the only time anyone saw her 'vulnerable' side was Power girl, but she knew no one close to her to share this information.
"Maybe she invited you here to help out with your relationship. Rock told me how both of you have different views on how you spend time with each other."
The Kryptonian offered her opinion on the matter since from the expressions of Bebop and Karai, they needed a talk and fortunate enough Harley could help them since she was a therapist. Her response merely got a snorting sound from Bebop since he was just as annoyed as Karai for her being here.
"Then tell the boss to talk to her, because I wanted us to go check out a rock show but no. She wants to perch up on a rooftop like a bat family. You already look hot as hell in those tights, I don't want you to be acting like those chumps."
Talking about how after things had settled down in Gotham, Karai refuses to relax or take a day off to be normal since this whole ordeal of going against the Shredder was to be her own woman. Though even now she still acts like a Kunoichi and monitors the city in silence, waiting for the moment to kill anyone to ruin the peace that had been achieved after the fighting and chaos happening.
"I'm doing this for us, you moron. While you here waiting for orders from the clown, I'm doing something to make sure our past doesn't stab us in the back. Which I thought you'd grow out of."
Responded how it seemed she wasn't doing this to make her father angry with how she was taking out any more of his men but for Bebop since she wanted to enjoy the city they were currently in. However, the last part made Bebop growl at her for the response since he considered Harley more than a boss.
"That clown is considerably one of best people I've met besides Rocksteady. Or importantly the only woman that enjoys what I like, which I remember you trying to do when you came into this city."
Telling her about how he thought that when Karai left Shredder to be with him she abandon all the ways of the Foot clan. He saw how she had a set of CDs from classic rock groups, clothing that would match his, and finally the tattoo that showed she was his mutant. The woman remained silent frustrated at what he was saying seeing how it was true, and more importantly kept herself calm when he brought up Harley again. On the side was Rocksteady and Power girl who watched the two argue like a couple could see a theme to this issue, leaving Karen to have Rock tell his friend about the reason behind this problem.
"Buddy? I think she's jealous about us working for Harley since you might be attracted to her more than her."
The rhino came up with a response about why Karai was always hostile whenever Bebop was around Harley due to him working for another criminal female. Taking a moment to see if it was the truth, which it seemed to be since Karai was silent about the issue with how she saw him hanging out with Harley whenever they were on a crime spree.
"I. It might be the truth, but this is my first time being in a relationship. Or rather having these emotions since leaving the Foot clan, I don't know how to react in these moments since I'm not normal."
Admitting the truth in a sad tone due to how after she was taken in by the Shredder, all her emotions and feelings went only to the Foot clan and not to herself or anyone else that was around her. Karen could hear from her heartbeat she was telling since it was one of the many abilities that she shared with Superman, but also how it was wrong for someone to cut themselves out of life to serve a clan of warriors. Bebop noticed Karai's look and thought for a second about how he could assure his girl about this feeling of hers.
"Babe. You know I'm going be your warthog, otherwise, I wouldn't get this."
Bebop assured her about how he wasn't looking at Harley like a possible new girlfriend, removing his jacket and turning his back on him he had a tattoo is done that was similar to Karai's. To her eyes, she saw the word 'Karai's warthog' with chains wrapped around it along a kunai blade since it was one of her weapons. Seeing the tattoo left her speechless as Bebop turned around looking at her as his friend and Karen noticed the words on his back which seemed affectionate since he does care for her.
"Harley is a boss but also she's like my sister, we joke with each other and fight. That's it, but when I'm with you. I want us to act like a badass couple who start fights and have fun. I may be an idiot and sometimes a dumbass, but I want to be it with you."
Admitting the truth about how he saw Harley whenever he got orders from her and that he wanted to be hers. Hearing these words from him and seeing this side of him had Karai speechless, especially Rocksteady and Karen since they didn't expect him to act maturely. The black haired woman stared at him still in disbelief at how he was devoted to her as she was to him, while also noticing how he grabbed her ass with both hands making her gasp at his assertive nature. In return, Karai growled at him like he would as the two acted like animals as the two continued to nuzzle each other, while the others watched this 'strange' manner of apologizing to each other.
"Forgive my impulsive behavior, my love. I might require discipline to see how blind I've been not to think you still care for me~"
She stated as Karai felt almost limbless and desired Bebop to hold her like a girlfriend would if she was in the arms of a boyfriend. The warthog took that response by picking her up in a bridal manner making her laugh at the response as he soon began to make out with her. Going down the hallway and into the room, both Rocksteady and Power girl watched at how it seemed they already had solved their issue and possibly resolve it in a way they know how to.
"Wanna go get some candy?"
"Thought you never ask."
The two suggested that it was going be rather loud for the next couple of hours as they quickly got their belongings and were about to leave the apartment. Rocksteady and Power girl was ready to leave the room but saw the door open where they saw Harley and Ivy looking tired from the trip they had when they left Etrigan's shop.
"Sorry for being late. Some asshole tried to kidnap me and Ivy had to go Mother Nature on them, anyway, where's Bebop and Karai at? I've got something that's going help them get along with their relationship."
Harley did both an explanation and asked about where Bebop and Karai were, only to hear yelling and moaning from the other side of the apartment which came from the ninja woman who was possibly being shown how much Bebop liked her. The four adults said nothing as Ivy whistled to Bud and Lou to come out since she didn't want the hyenas to be exposed to what sounded like a discovery channel mating scene taking place.
"So. We're going to your place to enjoy the rest of the night with some cheesy movies?"
Ivy suggested to the pair as both Rocksteady and Power girl nodded as the three along with Bud and Lou made their way out going to try and enjoy the rest of the evening and give Bebop and Karai the place to themselves. Meanwhile, for Harley, she smiled at how it seemed she didn't need the scroll to help their relationship out. Thought that didn't mean she should throw it away; it is good to keep it around if anything came up and would need good stress relief. Following after the others she could hear the pounding from the apartment as she couldn't help but enjoy it since the purpose of Valentine's Day was to spend quality time with the person they love, no matter what the two of them are.
