I Can't Live Without You (Harley Quinnx Poison Ivy)

Chapter 2

Ivy's POV

That explosion was the start of many new things. I couldn't help but feel happy knowing that clown bastard was within the blast, and it filled me with a bit of joy. Harley wouldn't stop sniffling as we had fled the scene, my arms wrapped around her as she sobbed on my shoulder. Poor Harls... Maybe after a hot bath, she'll feel better? Or a good nights sleep? Shrugging softly, I pulled the jester away, hands cupping her face as I wiped her tears.

"Harley... How are you holding up?"

"He's gone Red!" She half said, half cried.

"I know. I know. But you are way better off without him, don't cha see? How about you take a bath, relax. It's been a long night."

Nodding, I kissed her forehead and fetched her a few things so she could bathe. I just hope she'd forget about it all because I don't think I could handle anymore talk about the Joker. He's gone, and I'd prefer it this way of course. Gripping the edge of the counter, I felt something feather over my hand.

"Momma's okay my darlings. Just thinking is all."

The slim vine wrapped itself around my hand, as if it was trying to comfort me. It was a sweet notion and for that I gave a feathered kiss on the tip, sticking out my arm as it unwrapped around me hand and I walked off, grabbing the small watering can that sat on top the counter.

"Hey... Red?" A soft voice trailed in the air.

"Yes Harls?"

"Thank you. For saving me, ya know. After everything, you're always there for me. Even when I screw up."

I began watering the few plants I had on the table, just listening to the blonde woman behind me. Footsteps lightly tapped against the polished wooden floor as I grabbed Harley's hand and pulled her with me to bed.

"Enough of that. You are not a screw up, you are very smart. Fun. And creative. Now, let's rest up while we can."

Running my fingers through my red locks, I couldn't help but feel sleepy all of a sudden. So settling in the bed, I rested my head against the soft pillow feeling Harley climb on top of the bed and make herself comfortable. Looking back I smiled and drifted off into sleep. Maybe this is a great start to something new...

Why did it feel a bit empty on the bed...? Lazily my hand felt behind me and to my surprise I felt nothing but crumpled sheets beside me.

"Harley?"

Sitting up I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, looking around for that bubbly blonde.
"Harls?" I yelled a bit louder but no response.

Deciding to crawl out of bed and look around, I couldn't find her at all. Where could she have gone?! A sudden sound echoed from the kitchen and I reached for a few seeds before walking slowly towards the sound. Taking a deep breath I turned the corner and threw the seeds, hearing the crashing of a jar and a small yelp. My eyes laid upon none other then the thief.

"Selina!" I yelled, anger rising within me.
What the hell was she doing here?!

"Gee Ivy, a little warning next time." The cat burglar spoke, hanging upside down by my vines. Little warning? Who did she think she was?! Coming in here without an invite!

"What the hell do you want?"

"How about you cut me down first, then we'll talk."

"Or how about I strangle you with my vines and go back to bed. Now talk." Catwoman rolled her eyes at my threat before crossing her own arms, knowing she wasn't going to be released until I got answers.
