Chapter 24
"I told you to keep her away." Bruce stared at the blonde that laid unconscious on the table. He had returned moments ago and quickly received word about Harley's condition. I stood up, knocking the chair from behind me to the ground.
    "You don't seem to understand how much Harley cares for Pamela. How crazy in love she is with that woman!" I yelled, poking at his armored chest with force. "Wouldn't you go crazy if someone you loved was in harms way?" I crossed my arms. I couldn't believe everything that was happening, my eyes for a moment stared at Harley and then back to Bruce as I was annoyed that I seem to have been the only one who understood why Harley did what she did. Which is why I choose to help her. After all the times she was there for me... "Even if I wanted to stop her I couldn't. So how about we  focus on finding IVY. What's done is done."
"Pam-a-lamb..." Harley's voice  trailed from behind me as I exited the batcave, leaving a silent, brooding Bat behind me.

I sat on top of one of the roofs in Gotham. My left arm was resting on top of my left leg as my other leg hanged off the edge. How could this be happening? Not only was I about to lose Ivy, but Harley too! Ivy I could probably survive, Harley? She was like a little sister, always there when needed, and always being supportive.
Pammy had her moments too though. I sighed, blowing the loose strands of hair from my face. It wasn't fair. But nothing ever is. I heard footsteps not far from me, I rolled my eyes before looking back to the bat boy, Nightwing.
"That was a cheap shot Selina."
"Yeah well, you should be more aware of your surroundings." I huffed. Why was he even here? Just to tell me that? Like I didn't know already. "Get lost kid, I don't want company."
"That's just your way of saying you want company." He plopped down beside me, nudging my leg. Why does the Bat family always think I mean the opposite of what I say?! It was frustrating! I glared at him now, as he scratched the back of his head.
"If you're not going ro say anymore then I'm leaving." I stood, turning from the edge I took one step before the boy wonder scrambled to his feet.
"Wait!" He called out, but I didn't stop. "What if I told you I know where Scarecrow's hideout is at?" Now that piqued my interest. I paused, and turned my head back to him.
"Oh do you." He better hope his information was right because if not, I was going to make his life hell.
"I do! Barbara helped me, and I'll share it with you." He crossed his arms. "Only if you agree to do a favor for us." Of course he wanted something in return. But could I really turn down his offer? Scarecrow has fucked with my friends for far too long, how could I not want any payback?!
"Fine."
"Oh?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Just thought you'd want to hear what it was."
"I don't care what it is, just tell me what to do. As long as it means Crane is getting what's coming to him."
"Okay. Deal, but Batgirl and I will accompany you incase anything goes wrong."
"Fine. As long as Batman doesn't find out. If he did, he'd stop me." He reached out his hand after a moment of thinking, and I took it with a wicked grin. Oh the things I had planned for Crane... I can't wait.
I watched as the two bat kids made their way towards Two Faces turf. I couldn't help but wonder why I agreed to helping them, but then I realized there's a certain diamond that Harvey took from me. That and well I really wanted to claw Scarecrows face after what he did to Harley. I just hope that Nightwings information wasn't just a farce. We stopped on top of the main rooftop where Harvey and his men were, my eyes scanned around quickly for any goons patrolling.
"Selina, Batgirl." The ex boy wonder called out. "Keep watch while I bust the vent open." The red head beside me nodded as I had other plans on getting inside.

Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop.
Do you wanna know what's worse than death? Knowing it's coming and you can't do nothing about it. Being left with your thoughts of what ifs, and just remembering of all the good and the bad in your life. My wrists ached from the cuffs, my toes were barely grazing the concrete floor. Is this really the end for me? I swear if it is, I'm taking that bastard with me to hell if it's the last thing I do! My green eyes gazed up, and I tried lifting my body up just a little to no avail. Gee Isley, you're pathetic.
But even though I was in this situation, I couldn't help but smile. Oh lord, am I losing my mind? Laughter erupted from me, and boy I was surprised I had that in me. "I remember... all the times I was with Harley, and Selina. The Gotham City Sirens." I inhaled slowly. "You'd regret everything you've done if you messed with us." I heard faint footsteps heading towards my direction. "If I don't kill you..." The door opened up to reveal the Joker. "Harley and Selina will."

Barbara and Dick came into the room, eyeing me with slight confusion as I sat crossed legged on a chair. I shrugged, handing them a key with a smile. "I have my ways." I winked at the two, walking past them I decided to scout ahead.
"Selina, I know you're just doing this because Dick is holding Scarecrows hideout above your head."
"And?"
"Can you at least be cooperative?"
"Listen here kid, I'm only here because my best friend is basically in a coma like state, and I want to hurt the bastard who started all of this." I glared at her, crossing my arms as she just stared at me like child being yelled at. "How I help and do things will be my way. And don't think I won't tell Bruce about your little adventure if you push my buttons. Now, zip it and let's catch us some crooks."
Where do these kids get the idea that I'd do things their way?! Just because I agreed to this shindig, doesn't mean I'll play nice. Time is wasting, and the longer we take, the more of a chance I may lose Harley! Hell, I may have lost Ivy already!
Breathe Selina, breathe.
I've never been so stressed out... Well I may be lying, but still.

Nightwing was now caught on one end of a gun. Two Face grinned with that ugly mug of his, yelling at Batgirl to not move or he'd blow his brains out. I sighed heavily and hit my head lightly on the metal crate I was laying on top of. Just great, I feel like I'm babysitting. I was ignoring most of what Harvey was saying, preparing myself for a hard landing I leapt off the crate and landed on Harvey. Hard. Knocking him to the floor, I quickly got to my feet and landed a good kick to his head.
"I had that under control." Nightwing glared at me. Is this how the Bat family said thank you? Gee they need to work on their manners. Barbara ran up to me after tying up all the thugs, saying a small thank you as she tied up Harvey.
"Sure you did. If I didn't intervene we'd be here for another hour."
"I'd appreciate it if you'd at least stood with us instead of wondering around doing your own thing."
"Okay. Let me make this clear to you. I do NOT take orders from you. You wanted my assistance and you have it. Now excuse me if I rather not waste an eternity while my friends die. I would at least love to save one, if not both! It's like you don't understand!"
"Selina."
"What?!" Barbara grabbed my hand and placed a piece of paper there.
"Go. I'm pretty sure we can handle Penguin ourselves. Thank you for helping with Harvey." I always liked her the most. Any anger I felt disappeared, and I nodded to the red head. I wanted to cry but that's not me. So I hugged her instead, and quickly made my way out of Harvey's hideout.

Nightwings PoV
I crossed my arms, watching Selina disappear from site. Barbara sighed, chewing the inside of her cheek. "I hope she'll be okay."
"She will. I didn't know how heavy this was weighing on her until now." I grabbed Babs hand and smiled. "I hope she doesn't hate me." She laughed and pushed me away before making her own way out of the building.
"We have a Penguin to catch. Let's get moving, shall we?"
