"There are many things that super villains aren't afraid of such as superheroes and being threatened by upper class villains who have better weaponry and money. Though the one thing that is frightening to certain criminals is change, such as Harley and her friends who've recently been hanging out less during the past several months. King Shark has become too busy with the Shark Clan in negotiating alliances with several sea clans across the ocean and Clayface finally getting a gig on stage which had him going to Las Vegas. The one big change was the relationship between Harley and Ivy who were contacted by Luthor in leading the new Legion of Doom, meaning she was his new CEO of the team as well would overlook new plans for their plans for criminal activity. The only issue of this opportunity was that Harley and the boys wouldn't be with her since they were used by them, the only thing they could offer Ivy was to be safe and know if anyone messed with her, the three would come in and destroyed the base."
Gotham City-Legion of Doom Headquarters
It was a confusing moment for Ivy who was nervous about going to be Lex Luthor's new CEO for his team since it screwed her wife over in the past. The ride to the base was met only with silence as no one knew what to say about Ivy's new position, Bebop was driving the car thinking of putting on some tunes but felt it would be uncomfortable. Rocksteady was thinking about another matter to not say anything about heading to the base, Harley was the only one who seemed steamed at the silence that was going on in the car.
"For fuck's sake! Can't we all congratulate my wife in getting this position?! Yes, it's true I was upset that Luthor brought in my wife in after forgetting what he did to her as well making you both into his guinea pigs. But this is a good thing, she's going make the legion better and not like the same boring ass office I went to when I joined."
Suggesting to Bebop and Rocksteady about what was happening and that Ivy being a part of the Legion would be good since she'd be hooked up with the same woman who's leading a professional group of villains. While it made Ivy blush at Harley praising her about this choice, she calmed down Harley since she was nervous herself about working as a higher up in the Legion.
"It's not that, trust me I love to see those guys when Ivy comes up and goes mother nature on everyone. But it's the fact none of us will be there, I mean that bald guy wanted her. Not us."
Bebop bringing up the fact that Lex was fascinated with Ivy since what she did at Jazzapajizza and wanted the acknowledgement of them to know about her being the only one working with him. From what she could tell from the three it messed with each of them since they worked better as a team then separate, or rather Harley and her boys since the trio were a one villain wrecking crew.
"But that doesn't mean I'll call you for help. Those dildos at work are nothing compared to you all, besides that I've spent hours on plans for the Legion to help me with and environmentally safe as well evil."
Expressing to them that while the team had numerous members who've fought the Justice League and committed crimes across the globe. Ivy would go to them for anything since she considered them trusting to handle anything, just not the important stuff that she values. Coming up to the headquarters they saw how the building looked the same before it was destroyed by the Joker and reduced to rubble.
"Alright boys. Help mama with her things."
Harley telling the mutants as they got out of the car to help Ivy with her stuff since she had several files and labeled books about what she had plan for the Legion. Rocksteady opened up the truck to only get a headbutt in the face Frank the plant, who was locked in the truck with Ivy's belongings.
"That's what you get your bastard for locking me in trunk! My dirt is not all shit, just the lower part of the pot."
Shouting at Rocksteady who was against letting Frank sit in the backseat with them since it be too packed and that the smell would mess up with Bebop's driving. Ignoring the comment and getting out of the car, Ivy brought her plans as well tried to mentally prepare herself for when she heads into the building.
"You okay babe?"
Harley asking her about what was going on since she noticed how Ivy didn't look like her composed and confident self. It was like her when she brought in by Luthor, except it was now her being his second hand in handling Legion matters which left the plant woman concern about her new position.
"That depends on if they'll kill me on the spot for being moderately more powerful than them. Or that I'm Luthor's second in command, heard Reverse Flash and Sinestro have been trying to get that position. Heard he isn't a fan of yellow that much."
Ivy bringing up about the evil speedster and yellow lantern trying to get into Luthor's graces but got sidetracked by her. Harley knew about them being real powerhouses and nothing to mess with, meaning that her wife could be in danger. Looking over to Bebop and gesturing him to offer his service to Ivy, the warthog took several seconds to figure out what she wanted as he walked over to respond to Ivy's situation.
"Then I'll go with you. Frank can't do anything with his ass in the pot, plus with the costumed punks we messed with. I ain't afraid."
Suggesting in coming along with Ivy as he looked over to Harley if it was the rights words to say, however Ivy looked at Harley who was the one to suggest the idea as she looked at Bebop who was nervous at her figuring it out. Seeing that there was no point in arguing about bringing in a warthog bodyguard for precaution, she handed him her stuff so he'd take it inside to look like an assistant then just another muscled goon.
"Promise I won't get him killed Rock. Once this place is closed I'll invite you over, your buying dinner tonight?"
Telling the worried rhino mutant about his best friend going into a building full of dangerous mad men and women as well asking Harley about bringing food over when things were settled. The clown girl smiled excitedly before giving her both a kiss and hug for good luck while the mutants doing a fist pump for splitting up again. Harley and Rock watched the trio heading into the building with them worrying about how it would turn out, though she looked at the rhino with not so subtle look since she wanted the pair to split up so she could talk to him personally.
"Alright then big guy. I'm going drive the cruiser, while that's going on we need to let out a few things. Specifically, hero business."
Harley sounding sad as she pulled out her phone showing a text which came from Batgirl who needed help. Along knowing that Rocksteady is still dating Power girl and wanted to try to make a good impression for her. Heading into the cruiser they made their way out back onto the street to see the caped crusader, the others were entering the new LOD building where it had been redone while retaining its original look.
"Can't these bastards come up with something new. Get some speakers, hot tubs and maybe a dance floor for us to show our stuff."
Frank complaining about how the place could use something more modern to make it welcoming for villains to come in when they start off the day. Ivy didn't respond as she was focusing on getting to her usual controlled self and not letting freak her out, heading over to the elevator they saw the doors opening up which showed none other than Lex Luthor who smiled at Ivy for coming in on time.
"Ivy. Glad you could make it on time, not many villains these days do that. Need to be punctual nowadays."
Complimenting her on coming in ready as well prepared to handle being CEO of the team. Just as she got into the elevator, Luthor noticed Bebop and Frank about to head in as well but stopped them since he wanted to speak with Ivy alone. Growling at not coming in and holding her stuff, Bebop noticed her not wanting him to make a scene as he decided to take another elevator with Frank. With the doors closing and the two heading up, Ivy wanted to start a conversation with him about her ideas for the Legion.
"So I already have a plan to start off my new position here as both professional and fun. Which is blowing up an oil rig safely, while also making the executives drink it. Higher body count and being environmentally safe."
Bringing up the topic about her first plan to make her start off on the team exciting while also getting the Legion on a productive path. While she was explaining more to him through a binder she brought along into the elevator, Luthor's changed to the serious look he'd show whenever he was handling a business deal or fighting Superman.
"I'm leaving to go to the moon."
Interrupting her ideas for the team which left Ivy caught off guard since she thought he'd be around to help out with the organization and knowing who to not get angry. Hearing him decide to travel into outer space was the last thing she'd expect from him since he was involved in numerous deals from half of the world.
"Ever since your squid incident and those 'aliens' as people believe on the news wreaked havoc in Gotham several years back. I've been given permission by several companies and NASA to use Lexcorps to make a space station to monitor any extraterrestrial activity."
Bringing up her past incident that involved the Utroms and Krang coming to Gotham as well causing mass panic. Unlike Harley's attempt when she had control over the Parademons and planned on whipping out New Gotham, Luthor was busy at the time handling business elsewhere and couldn't manage an uncontrollable city. The elevator suddenly stops as it was the executive level, heading off Ivy looked at Luthor who change his expression showing the same look he greeted for when she came in.
"All you need to know is in order to lead a group of villains, you need be the villain stands above them. Not by their sides."
Giving her some advice on being in charge as the elevators closed which left Ivy to think about the words since she didn't have a problem in taking charge. Except with her hanging out with her friends might have made her soft, her thoughts went away quickly after hearing stumbling near the staircase which was Bebop who dropped some of her supplies on the ground.
"If it wasn't for Ivy making you and treating you like a pimp, I'd let the hyenas piss on you like no tomorrow!"
The warthog shouting at Frank who didn't help him with carrying the files and other papers that she worked on for today. Before the two could start a fight, they noticed Ivy looking at them sternly since they needed to make a good impression for her once they see the others. Getting settled and following her to the office room where they walked in to see a rather large gathering of villains in the room, mostly the same members of the team before the building blew up as well new members that not even Ivy and Bebop saw on the news.
"Yeah skirt, move to the side when the CEO comes in."
Calling out Ivy was Parasite, the power absorbing creature that belonged to Superman's rogue gallery as each of them were rowdy and acted like children with them not appearing as the villains Ivy knew them for. Not letting the comment get to her she decided to restrain her remarks at them and tell the group about her position.
"Actually, your looking at her. While Lex is handling matter that are above us, I'll be in charge of Legion matters."
Telling the group which left half of the villains in the room to yell at outrage that Lex left them in the hands of Ivy who from time and time has either made villains look ridiculous or stealing the spotlight. Bebop saw how each of them wanted to attack Ivy but stood still seeing how this was her moment and how Frank was gesturing to not do anything.
"Like we're going follow the same woman who turned Gotham into a plant house and took out half our best members out. You are a traitor!"
Calling her out was a male member who had on an orange sleeveless suit, white flamed logo on his chest with matching white hair. Continuing to argue as well now accept Ivy as CEO, Bebop clapped his hands loudly trying to stop the shouting since it was getting impossible for anyone to hear themselves. Settling down, the warthog decided to speak his mind on the topic.
"Who the fuck are you? Cause I know half of these chumps. But you all should show her respect, cause my boss's girl has been to outer space and took on Joker. Twice! If you fucks got a problem, then come at me. Cause I've been waiting to get back you all for turning me and my man Rocksteady into your experiments."
Questioning the oddball villain and asking them to share their problems with him which Ivy could see Harley was right for Bebop to come with her. The other villains chuckled at the mutant's claim in being her bodyguard as they left the white haired villain to be the first in settling this.
"It's Snow flame, and your about to feel the heat!"
Introducing himself to the warthog before taking out what looked like cocaine from his pocket and doing a huff. Just as he did, his body ignited in fire and letting out a war cry who was ready to fight. Bebop removed his jacket going shirtless as he tackled Snowflame and began to fight him. This caused the villains to cheer for the fight leaving Ivy the only one to watch the fight and leaving the room. Sighing at the mad house that was happening in the room, she barely noticed someone who was by the side watching the scene going downhill.
"Not to bad. Though I would have just hexed them into doing what I say."
Speaking out by the corner as Ivy looked over seeing none other than Enchantress, who apparently left on Valentine's Day to do some traveling on the road. She was about to question on how long she was there watching her humiliate herself in the room but was interrupted by Bebop's squeal who was apparently fighting more of the members in the room.
"This is great. When Harley came into the Legion it wasn't a big deal, but that was because Joker was around making everyone piss they're pants. Now it's just me who while can kick all their asses, wants to also lead them."
Stating the predicament she was in since while they may not take her seriously and will eventually have to put them in their place. She also wanted to be a leader that could earn their respect and could trust her with anything. Enchantress, who could see the conflict brewing threw her as well that she was on her own without Harley.
"Maybe you should take Luthor's suggestion, be above them. They're not like the ones your used to hang out with, they need to know who's in charge. You already have somewhat of my respect, but the warthog's got your full loyalty. And he's doing it right now with handling the people in there, what does that tell you?"
Asking her on what was happening right now with having a mutant's trust and fighting her battles right now. Taking a moment in listening to the witch's words and Lex's, she decided to combine both of their ideals and take charge of what was happening. Walking back inside of the room she saw Bebop who was right now bleeding from the fight he did with Snow flame along with Metallo as the villains were recording the three way fight.
"Alright. This school yard shit is over."
Proclaiming to end the fight as Ivy used the plants around the room to quickly change them into vines as she had everyone entangled into them and keeping them trapped. Except for Bebop and Frank who saw how the redhead was taking over as well showing them who was in charge of the Legion. Placing the villains on their knees, she had them look at Ivy as they could see how serious was towards each villain in the room.
"You just saw how loyal one of my friends were, so you can imagine how the rest of them are when they learn you all didn't take me seriously. So you have a choice, help me make the Legion of Doom into a socially conscious evil. All my shit, all day long."
Stating to them about what they'll be doing as they were about to argue again. Except it was quickly silence by Ivy who made the vines slowly crush them to the point where they had no choice but to submit to her demands. Bebop, who was was cleaning himself up gave her a thumbs up for taking charge as well showing them who was badass. While in the back was Enchantress who smirked at the redhead in changing the vision of the Legion, which was something she wanted to see for herself in the days to come.
Later-Gotham's Doll House Department
After dropping off Ivy and Bebop at the Legion of Doom headquarters, Harley and Rocksteady were having a serious conversation about the situation they were currently in. Though it had to be discussed with on their way to a location that Harley got a text and needed to come in. Traveling out to one of the many buildings that were considerably lost during the New Gotham incident, Harley and Rocksteady got out of the cruiser with both her baseball bat and sledgehammer ready for what was happening inside.
"Alright, so you get that for the past months I've been trying to figure out a way to be with Power girl more since a hero slash villain relationship is messed up. But you've been hanging out with Batman?!"
Rocksteady calling her out that while what he was doing might have been over the top since he was dating the strongest women on the planet. Though that was nothing compared to hanging out with the same masked crusader who wasn't a fan of jokes, bloody fights and remarks about the situation. The pair headed inside as well saw how everything looked either abandon or hadn't been touched in the last two years.
"I mean it was after the invite to your girl's apartment. While everyone was asleep, I saw him outside the window getting my attention. He figured I was going through things and that I wanted to change myself, so for the past weeks I've been doing several missions with him and the Bat family. And I half to tell you, it's fucking amazing."
Explaining why Harley who had in the past fought him and numerous other superheroes was acknowledged about being the good guy feeling incredible. Watching their steps, they noticed across the broken machinery was broken dolls and mannequins scattered across the side. Rocksteady was getting creeped out by where they were but continued to listen to Harley's story.
"Sure, it felt messed up being with the same guy who's made our friends lives a living hell. But when I was with him I saw that sometimes, we can be assholes. Most of the psychopaths aren't like us, we know what's right and wrong. But lately the line is broke, such as right now the situation with Professor Pyg kidnapping Nightwing."
Bringing up another issue was how while some villains knew that they did crimes was to get rich and have a bit of fun. There were a certain variety that had deranged ideals as well weren't the type anyone would want to socialize around with. Showing him on who she was talking about, Rocksteady took a look in seeing a large human male wearing a pig mask and apron. While he had poor eyesight, he was able to read about Pyg's crimes as well one the disturbing ones, such as his creations that the professor was fond of.
"Their, from New York?"
Asking scared like since he saw how Pyg had a fixation on making the perfect person, no matter how many people he carved up and spliced together. Harley herself found it messed up about cutting people up after what happened with the Eden project that Shredder used against Ivy. The pair continued to walk down the hallway before hearing scuffling across the other room, Harley went ahead first to see what was happening as Rocksteady followed from behind as they saw a twisted sight in front of them. Batman along with Robin and Batgirl were facing off against Pyg's dollotrons while trying to save Nightwing who was a dissection table. Meanwhile by the side was Slash as the large mutant turtle was trying to shake off the mutilated individuals off his shell.
"Hi Harls! Glad you brought some help; we seriously need it right now!"
Batgirl greeting the clown woman as well avoiding getting grabbed by the mindless henchmen as Harley and Rocksteady didn't know how to take the situation. Meanwhile Rocksteady took a closer look seeing the blank looks on the dollotrons faces as he felt sorry for them, looking upwards he saw a panicked Pyg looking at the sight and trying to make a run for it.
"I'm in. Go get that sick fuck."
Telling her about how seeing this made his idea of her working with the Batman go away after seeing that villains like Pyg shouldn't even exist. Smiling at her mutant, he offered her a toss as he threw Harley up to the railings for her to chase after Pyg. Looking at the others, Rocksteady mustered up his courage and rushed pass the dollotrons and accidentally breaking them as he made his way to rescue Nightwing who apparently was about to be operated on.
"No offense dude, but your ass looks awesome. It's no wonder Power girl asks me to help get fit, I need an ass like this."
Complimenting the masked hero on the table which left Dick embarrassed about getting compliment about his side and that people talked about it. Meanwhile for Harley, she was chasing after Pyg who was almost making it outside of the factory. Taking the chance she hurled her bat right at his feet which caused him to tumble on the ground and turn around seeing Harley walking towards her.
"It makes no sense. You're a villain like me, why are you in league with these costumed fools? All I am doing is creating the perfect being!"
Pleading to her about why she was with the Bat family and trying to meddle in his affairs. Harley continued her walk before stomping on his knees causing Pyg to squeal in pain before grabbing her bat and aiming it at his face while showing a disappointed look at him.
"All your doing is turning people who deserve a peaceful death into walking nightmares. Also, I'm killing you first before Rocksteady does. Cause he'd make it slow and painful."
Responding to him as she quickly clobbers his face in with the baseball bat multiple times before nothing was left of Pyg's face. Behind her was Batman and the others who saw the clown woman who killed the mad professor as well taking a moment of air for killing him.
"So. Anyone up for takeout?"
Asking the group about getting something to eat and not noticing the looks on their faces about her killing the man. Rocksteady didn't care while Batman could tell that it was going be a lot of work in getting her to change her violent methods in handling criminals. Still, the real issue was how to break it down to Ivy about this sudden change in sides.
Night Time-Legion of Doom headquarters
With both women having an unusual morning as well getting roped into a fight. The two had to talk about it along with Bebop and Rocksteady since it affected both of them since their dynamic was to be in sync like Harley and Ivy, only this time it was that the two were working with Batman and helped him stop Professor Pyg.
"I can't believe that bowling ball for a head Lex left you head to deal with these assholes."
"Forget that, why didn't you tell me about doing these missions with Batman?!"
The two women calling out on what was happening with each of them since Harley was fuming about how he left Ivy in leading a group of the same villains who were rude to her when she came into the Legion. While also Ivy who was both upset at how Harley's hid this secret about helping Batman for the past several months since it would make their relationship impossible since she was with heroes. On the side was Bebop and Rocksteady who were watching the scene in silence and not knowing what to do in the situation.
"I thought it be impossible to tell you I was hanging out with the same guy that has put us away like billons of times and make you not think about this new job you have.
Admitting herself to Ivy at being afraid in admitting to her on working with Batman as well sending half of her fellow villains to prison. There were many ideas going through Ivy's head about this sudden change in her life but didn't notice how Harley was feeling recently since she was focused about being in charge of the villain team.
"Babe. You know you could tell me anything, it's just this will make things complicated since I'm with the Legion. But what I'd like is for you to tell me whatever happens since we're both going busy, okay?"
Suggesting to Harley that while it was startling to be helping out with her enemy, she wanted to make sure whatever problems Harley might be having she'd tell her right away. The two shared a kiss on agreeing with the terms while looking at Bebop and Rocksteady who could tell they didn't need to be here for this since it was a personal moment.
"Well, maybe will call it a night. I'll get the car ready and head back home, heard about there being a program about Gotham's Hottest Hotties."
Bebop suggesting which got them excited since they'd usually like to make fun of who was considered attractive in the eyes of the public. Right when they were heading out they were caught off guard by Frank, who was standing outside and looked speechless as well freaked out at something that happened to him.
"Y'all better come out and see this. Cause this shit is impossible to figure out."
The talking plant stated as the four looked confused on what he meant as they walked out to see a surprise visitor. King Shark, who had lost some of his weight and wearing black armored spandex and having several scars across the side of his head.
"King. Your ripped."
Harley speaking out first at his transformation from a humble IT shark she met to now a lean mean man-eating shark who looked like he came from a black ops mission. Letting out a laugh and opening his arms to hug his friends, they rushed over to hug Nanue since it had been months since they last saw one another.
"Oh this? It's nothing. Just that after dealing with ocean affairs with the other clans and issues with Aqua man. I decided to get myself a makeover, but I'm still that tubby shark you all love."
Explaining about his new look and how the past few months had changed him since he was in charge of his father's people after the death of his brother. This was a rather pleasant surprise in seeing one of their friends doing well for himself, however Frank was whistling to them and breaking up the reunion since there was a more urgent matter that needed to be handled.
"Forget the wannabe man of secrets, it's what he brought in the elevator that we should be talking about!"
Exclaiming that there was something more important than Nanue as they got curious about what their aquatic friend had brought in. Looking at the elevator, they saw the doors opening up showing another of their friends Killer Frost. Who was right now in a wheelchair and having her stomach swollen which made them speechless at the sight and trying to put the pieces together.
"We wanted you all to be the first to know"
Nanue telling them that he and Catlin were going to be parents. This left Harley to scream loud at how her friends were going have children, along the others to congratulate them at starting a family. The group congratulated the pair as well welcomed the two for coming here from the ocean to tell them about the news, seeing how this was something to celebrate about with what was happening right now. It was the perfect escape to figure out on what would go on in upcoming days with Harley working with Batman and Ivy being the CEO of the Legion of Doom.
"Welcome back to a new season everyone! Glad to be working back on the story and sharing with everyone, as well what will happen with the new dynamic of them in different scenarios. Comment down below to learn what comes next, till then see you soon."
