Chapter FOUR: Harley Quinn

Poison Ivy's POV

We entered the apartment building and headed up the stairs. Level by level I got increasingly worried about who we were going to see. Harley finally stopped in front of a wooden door that had the numbers 67. Beside the number was a cat paw sticker.

"Selina?" I asked Harley. "Are you serious? Do you not remember what happened?"

She sighed and put her hand on my shoulder. I was enraged, but I couldn't tale it out on her. I couldn't take it out here. The door creaked open and Selina's face popped out from the crack. I crossed my arms angrily and looked away. Harley and Selina greeted each other as if they haven't seen each other in ages.

"Red." She said, giving me a dirty look.

"Selina." I replied. Selina turned around and walked back into her apartment. Harley then entered slowly after a moment of silence in the dark and creepy hallway. The apartment wasn't much better. Wallpaper falling of the walls, giant pieces of walls were missing and the ceiling was yellow. Bucket were on the floor, filled with water, and slightly overflowing.

"Sorry, it's a mess, wasn't expecting anyone." Selina told us. Her hair was shorter now, and she was wearing a pink off-shoulder top and skinny blue jeans.

Sitting on the couch that was covered in cats, cat fur, and a few treats, Harley then replied. "No...it's, uh, okay." She wiped off the couch and shoo'ed some cats away and gestured for me to sit down. I hesitantly obeyed and sat next to Harley on the filthy couch.

"Hey!" Selina yelled. "Get off the table, now! No! That's not for you!"

I looked around and saw a cat on a table that was eating a salad.

"Ew." Harley whispered. "Anyway, Selina, we need your help." She spoke up. "We need to get some help."

Selina froze and dropped and plate. "With what?" She asked, her voice shaky and nervous. Cats screeched at the sound of glass shattering on the floor. I jumped a little bit.

"We need help...with b-man." Harley told her, cautiously. She slowly stood up and headed toward the door. I followed. "It's ok, if you don't-"

"Go." Selina told us. Pointing toward the door.

"I don't want to say this, but we need you Selina!" I said.

She looked up at us and mouthed a word that was easy to make out. "Go." I turned and opened the door. I was just about to leave and never come back when I was interrupted by Harley.

"No, Ivy, we'll stay here." She put her hand on my back and I froze in my place.

"Shit." I said to myself quietly. I turned around and stood next to Harley and waited for a response from Selina. She flicked open her hands to reveal sharp claws on her finger tips.

Running at us, Selina jumped at Harley. Just before she hit her, I jumped in the way and Selina landed on me, he claws planted into my shoulders. I screamed in pain and erupted gigantic vines from the ground through all the floors of the building. They quickly came through the floor and hit Selina in the face, launching her across the room.

Harley quickly grabbed me and dragged me out of the room.

She helped me stand up and she walked me out of the building, carefully trying not to hurt my shoulders anymore. She walked out onto the beach and placed me down slowly.

I looked out at the horizon and saw the bright, full moon reflecting off of the clear blue water. "Beautiful, isn't it." I told Harley. She sat down next to me and gazed into the beautiful night sky.
