An: This is an AU request from tumblr. In this universe the Joker never existed and Ivy was never experimented on.

Gotham City was mostly a peaceful place. The skies were clear and the crime rates were dropping everyday. There was a small period of time where criminals were doing crimes, getting arrested, and released only to have the cycle repeat. That all changed when Arkham Asylum hired Harleen Quinzel.

Harleen Quinzel was the most qualified Psychiatrist in Gotham City. If her degrees and academic achievements didn't already speak for themselves her work at the asylum did. Harleen was magical with most of the prisoners, it was easy for her to dissect, diagnose, prescribe, and reform a lot of these inmates. Not every inmate could be helped and Harleen understood that but she did her best to push for prisoner reform.

Thanks to her diligence the city around her started to change. Gotham was safer than ever before thanks to her work. She had been acknowledged by her peers and a lot of her fellow Gothemites. She didn't have a lot of friends to celebrate with but she did have one.

Gotham's resident environmentalist, Pamela Isley. When crime was at its peak the city was in shambles. There was garbage everywhere, fires weekly, the water was almost a dark green; it was truly horrendous. Pamela spent a lot of her time trying to clean up the streets but it was almost impossible until Harleen was dealing with the cause of most of the environmental devastation.

Once crimes were less prevalent the streets weren't only metaphorically cleaner but also physically. Pam worked hard to promote how much it was important for Gotham City to be clean. She often rallied up groups to help her clean up the city street by street. She lobbied for more trees in the city to raise the quality of air and she even proposed a new eco-friendly water system that the town implemented.

When she felt that she had taken care of the waste problems in Gotham she moved on to her true passion. While Harleen focused on people Pamela focused on nature. She had been studying advanced botanical biochemistry for years and she even had a PHD in the subject.

She used that degree to open up her own botanical garden in Gotham. It was a great way for her to learn more about plants and teach others. Her botanical garden was one of the main tourist attractions in Gotham. Pam had plants that other people had never even heard of. Her special cross breeds drew the attention of many other scientists in the botany community. She was making strides in the field that no one else could have imagined.

Not only was she an accomplished environmentalist in the city of Gotham but Pamela was almost famous in the world of advanced botanical biochemistry. She had been honored and received many awards and had even been offered high profile positions outside of Gotham City. However all that Pamela wanted to do was manage her beautiful little garden and hangout with her best friend Harleen Quinnzel.

Each woman usually had a schedule filled to the brim but they always set aside two in their week where they could catch up and hangout with each other. Both women were overly passionate about their work so they had a rule, they could only spend an hour talking about work. That made each woman try to get out a little so that they had something to talk about, not they minded sitting in comfortable silence.

Today was one of those days that they had scheduled a hangout. It was around fall so the day wasn't as bright as usual, in fact it was raining. The rain wasn't coming down too hard but it did prompt them to cancel any outdoor activities and settle for movie night at Harleen's.

" Harley, what are we going to order?" Pam called to the woman in the kitchen from her comfortable spot on the couch.

" You know I hate that nickname, Poison Ivy," Harleen shot an unwanted nickname right back at her.
