"SHE REALIZED NONE OF IT WAS REAL AND SET HERSELF FREE"
"What's going on?" Harley and Ivy hauled me off the table and to my feet.
"We're escaping!" Harley whispered excitedly.
"What? Why are you helping us? I betrayed you guys again," I saw Lex helping Wally off of his table.
Ivy smiled gently, "(Y/n), you're our little girl, no some homicidal demon maniac's. We couldn't let him hurt you anymore after we figured out what he was doing."
"Yeah, thanks for being concerned about me too," Wally spoke up sarcastically.
Lex grumbled under his breath but held back his comment. Harley and Ivy exchanged giggled. Opening the door slowly, Lex waved us over and ushered us into the hallway. We stuck to less direct routes to the garage, back hallways and such. Since none of us knew where Klarion was.
"The security system has mysteriously been knocked out. It'll reset in five minutes. You two need to be gone before then."
"Klarion's going to find out. He'll kill you for letting us out."
"It's time we retire from the business, darlin'," Harley gave me a reassuring smile, "Lucy needs her mom after all. None of us are getting any younger."
Harley stopped in front of the door to the garage, producing a keychain from her pocket. HARLON was engraved into it.
"Oh, no Harley I can't," I waved my hand dismissively.
"I don't need it anymore, darlin'. I'm thinking an SUV. All you gotta do is invite us to the wedding," Harley dropped the keys into my hand, hugging me tightly.
"Treat her right," Ivy sent Wally a warning glare as she took her turn to hug me.
Lex was next. He hugged me the tightest. Over the five years with the villains, I had distanced myself from him out of fear. I used to call him dad, because he was. I didn't want Klarion to catch wind of that. Yet, there he was, loving me still.
"You'll get everything as soon as this all blows over. I need to retire too. I love you (Y/n)."
"I love you too, Dad." There it was. What I had wanted to call him for years. Because I chose my family, the title couldn't be thrust upon me by Klarion, "You too, Harley and Ivy."
Wally stepped up behind me, "You driving?"
"Sure." Wally and I walked into the garage and I guided him to Harley's motorcycle. As I started it and revved the engine, the trio of villains at the doorways mouth moved. A faint murmur against the preexisting noise, "What?"
