{A/N: I'm skipping to ''No Ivy in Team' since I don't see Veronica's presence having any significant changes in the other episodes; Watch the video first}

Veronica's POV:

Now, for my side of the story. Riddler escaped, joined forces with Psycho, and tried to kill Harley & Ivy but held back when I challenged him to fight me. Thankfully, we still had Ivy's wedding, even though Kite Man had second thoughts after Psycho told him what happened on the island. Furthermore, Gordon crashed the party, along with the rest of the police department; Kite Man said 'no' when Harley offered to marry him and Ivy. Luckily, the girls confessed their love for one another and drove off into the sunset, bringing us to where I am now.

I've been standing in front of the walls of Arkham for the last ten minutes. If I can't make myself do it, I might as well flip a coin. Heads, I go through with this. Tails, I lose the chance at the same happiness my sister has and go home with my tail between my legs, ironically. I flip it, and before I can see what it is, I get a call from Ivy.

Me: "Hey, Ive, what's up?"

Ivy: "Did you do it yet?"

Me: "I'm trying, but how do I know this is a good idea? He mind controlled you, tried to take over the world, but surrendered when he had to fight me. How can I trust him, or my heart, after all that? What would people think? How do I know this isn't setting myself up for what could be the biggest mistake?"

Ivy: "Ronnie, that's exactly how I felt after Harley & I first slept together. I wanted to be with her, but I doubted my feelings and let the world's opinions affect my decisions, but it all worked out. I can't tell you what's right or wrong because your life isn't mine to control. You are in control, strong enough to survive whatever happens, and you will be kicking yourself forever if you don't JKL. Just keep loving."

I sigh in relief with a small smile.

Me: "Thanks. Have a happy honeymoon. I love you, puddin's!"

Harlivy: "We love you, too, Nica."

I end the call and press the button I have open on my phone. As the wall explodes, I create a forcefield around me, and Riddler stands on the other side with a small smile.

Riddler: "So, that deal still on the table?"

I smirk as I toss him a card I had made and extend a hand for him to shake.

Me: "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Riddler takes my hand and pulls me into a lasting kiss. Yeah, this is what I want. It's gonna be messy, chaotic, and a little crazy, but with him, it's fucking worth it! The only voice I ever need to listen to is his for the rest of eternity. In this world and the next, good times and bad, I'll take everything if it means I can be in his arms again.

Front of Card: 'What will I never doubt, take for granted, or turn my back on despite all the messes we make? Who will I give up all my love, power, and credit for them to take? What is the difference between my success in or loss of the game into which they've spun me?'

Back of Card: 'Edward Nygma, it's me and you.'

Coin: 'Tails'
