One Shots

Love and Thieving

Harley and Ivy are pulling a heist. Together for almost a year, Ivy has still never shown her true feelings. When faced with the possibility that Harley could die.. does she express how she feels?

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Are you sure this is the place, Red?" Harley whispered into her mic. "Yes. I'm in the control room, they have my babies in a locked cage." "What are they?" Harley loved Ivy, but she didn't see the need to pull this whole heist over a couple of daffodils. Yet, here they were, Harley always doing whatever it takes for the woman she loves. "Rare imported Venus Fly Traps. Hmm I see you on the cameras. A couple doors down to your left." "Something doesn't seem right about this. This building is usually heavily armed. I don't even think Bats could get in here unwanted." Harley muttered. She didn't exactly blend in. This was a high-tech science facility. Not many, well not any, people showed up here in a full jester outfit. That was one of the deals they had made. Harley gets Ivy's plants if she gets to wear her costume. "Be careful, Harley. I need these sprout.." She trailed off, "But I need you more." Harley was too busy picking the lock to hear what she said though. She broke open the door and walked in. The door slammed behind her, "Well... if it isn't the Joker's girl." Harley pointed her gun at him. She heard Ivy growl into the microphone. "I don't know where you've been, bucko, but I'm not with Mistah J anymore." The man laughed and took a few steps closer. "Why don't you back off the plants and maybe I'll let you live." She laughed, "How about back away from the plants and I let you live?" He lunged towards her and managed to cut her side. "Look what ya did? My new costume all cut up. And I'm gonna need stitches as well. Too bad you won't be able to pay for it for me." "What's that s'posed to mean?" He looked at her laying on the ground. "Because while I'll need a few stitches," She smiled and shot him quickly, "You'll need a body bag." She searched around the room looking for the plants. "Ivy?" "Yeah, Harl?""Which plant?" "The small seedling.. just beginning to grow.""Alright.." Harley found the plant and was beginning to place them in the container that Ivy had given her. She felt the cool metal of a gun pressed to the back of her head. "You just killed my partner. What are you, crazy?" She quickly turned and grabbed his wrist. "Insane actually, but aren't all the clowns in Gotham?" "You're not scary little lady. You should actually be scared of me." Harley laughed and leaned closer to his face, "You're funny," She broke his wrist, "I've seen plenty of scary and trust me. You're not it." "Harley.. this is too dangerous. I'm coming." "Ivy, I'm fine." She hadn't noticed that the unknown figure still had a gun. He shot her in the shoulder. "Hm... you're proving to be a problem." He shot her once more hoping he hit close enough to her heart. He ran out of the room once he heard the police sirens. "I-Ivy?""Yeah?" She responded, running this way and that trying to find the right door. "I did it... I got your plants for you... Just.. don't forget about me.""Harleen Quinzel, don't you dare die on me." Poison Ivy quickly opened the door and saw Harley laying on the floor. The bullet had come close enough to her heart that if she didn't get Harley back to her lab quick.. she.. well.. IVy didn't want to think about that. "I love ya, Red..." Harley whispered. Ivy picked her up tears in her eyes, and ran out of the building. Her plants carried both Harley and Ivy back to the abandoned building they both shared. The place they've spent almost a whole year together in. Ivy quickly took her to the small lab and laid her down. She did all she could to try and repair the wounds in Harley's chest and side. She sat by her bedside paying close attention to all her vital signs. After a few hours, Harley woke up to find a sleeping Pam. "Whatcha look so sad for, Red? I was just sleeping." Harley sat in her lap and wrapped her arms around her, waking Ivy. "Harley.. I thought... You seemed to be.. dead..." Ivy looked down for a moment before Harley lifted her head up. "Aw, Red, you seem ta like me." Ivy rolled her eyes and pulled her closer. "We have been friends for a long time... and we have been dating for over a year," She kissed Harley and blushed. "I think now is the time for me to tell you.. I love you." Harley squealed and kissed Ivy again. They spent the rest of their evening cuddled on the couch, watching action movies and relaxing.
