Ladybug In Gotham (crossover fic)

Chapter 41 Dress making and liars

Third pov

Marinette exited the police station, happy to feel warm sun on her face.
The phone in her pocket vibrated and she picked it up to see that Dick was calling.

They'd all switched numbers just in case.

"Hey, Nettie. How did your talk with commissioner Gordon go?"

"It went well. Hey, is there any way for someone to pick me up, i don't really know how to navigate Gotham." She asked.

She could hear him humming on the other end of the line. "Alfred's busy and Damian had to help Bruce, i can't say for sure where Jaybird is and Timmy is trying to steal the coffee pot in the breakroom, but i can meet you on the way to W.E you just need to follow the direction of the tower. Should be easy to see."

The sixteen year old looked around and yes, she could see Wayne Tower. "I can see it."

"Good. I'll meet you on the way, call me if anything happens."

The call ended and Marinette started walking.

"Ain't that the girl that gave 'ol Scarecrow a beatin'?"

Ivy looked to where Harley was pointing and indeed. A teen with black hair and blue eyes with bruised hands.
The same one responsible for her flowers flourishing for the last month.

"It is. Looks like she's going for the Wayne Tower." Ivy hummed.

"She's a real cute one. Can't we say hi , red?" Harley was pretty much balancing on her toes,leaning against the edge of the roof they're standing on.

Ivy shrugged. "Sure, but i wouldn't be surprised if there's a Wayne somewhere around here. They took her in apparently."

"Well, that hunk Brucie does seem to like adopting kids." Harley shrugged and jumped onto the stairs at the side of the building.

Ivy followed her down, both reaching the street just as the girl was about to walk past it.

She didn't seem too surprised as Harley casually dropped down beside her and put and arm around her shoulders.

"Hiya, sugar. Aren't you just adorable? Where're ya goin'?" The blonde was smiling happily.

The teen cracked a smile. "Hi, you're Harley Quinn, right?"

"Sure am, sweets, and you're the newest kid that the Wayne guy picked up."

The three were getting a lot of stares as they walked.

"I'm Marinette, it's nice to meet you. And you too." She looked at Ivy. "Ivy, right?"

Ivy nodded.

"I read up on Gotham before i came here. I think you two are cool, and i love the Wayne gardens that you're taking care of Ivy."

She said it with a genuine smile and such a happy tone that Ivy was surprised.

Sure she and Harley had semi-retired from being villains but people rarely said that they like them.

"Aww, thank you. You don' seem bad yourself. Where are ya goin'?" Harley was practically hugging the teen- Marinette to her body as they walked.

Out of all the bad guys Marinette had researched before coming to Gotham Harley and Ivy were two of the ones she really liked. She had thought that Riddler didn't sound so bad, just someone liking riddles, right?
