The Right Side of Wrong

The Big Apricot: Part 1

Veronica's POV:

It's been a year since the "Gotham City Sirens" were formed, and since then, we've disbanded, and for a good reason.

{Flashback: 1 Year Ago}

Harley, Ivy, Catwoman, & I are walking along the Gotham City sewer tunnels in search of Enchantress and her skeleton army, who, according to Catwoman, are polluting the city's water supply, a big no-no in Ivy's book.

Catwoman: "I hate water."

Ivy: "Then why did you bring us into the sewer?"

Harley: "Ugh, this is so cold, my nips could cut glass."

We encounter a sewer grate and push it open, revealing an array of glowing green candles leading to Enchantress's bedroom.

Catwoman: "Whoa."

Harley: "Holy shit!"

Catwoman: "Shh!"

Catwoman covers Harley's mouth to keep her quiet, so Ivy swats her hand away, to which Catwoman responds with a hiss. The two glare at each other before Barbara, AKA Oracle, speaks up over our comms.

Barbara: *via comm-link* "Sirens, shh! It's imperative we stay quiet so we don't awaken Enchantress' Skeleton Army."

We look up from the trail of candles and see the Enchantress sleeping in her bed. Her army sleeps around her to protect her from intruders, who, in this case, are us. Catoman approaches the bed as her gaze is fixated on the large purple gem necklace around Enchantress' neck.

Catwoman: "There it is. The Heart of Darkness."

Ivy: "Wait, a diamond? You said Enchantress was polluting Gotham's water supply with her army's remains. That's what you said!"

Barbara: *via comm-link* "We're here to get information on Nightwing's stolen body, remember?"

Ivy: "Did Enchantress poison the water supply, or did you lie to us yet again?"

Catwoman: "I say a lot of things. Are they true? Who's to say?"

Ivy: "You! You are to say! We're your fucking teammates, and yet you lie about every single mission we go on."

Barbara: *via comm-link* "Keep your voices down."

Harley: "I'm just here because you said I'd get to bash the boney ass outta some skellies!"

Me: "I'm just here as a favor to my sister and best friend. Also, you said this wouldn't take long, so I could be home in time to put the triplets to bed with Riddler."

We turn in surprise as Enchantress rises from her bed, her eyes and necklace glowing now that she's awake.

Enchantress: *gasps* "How dare you?!"

She then sends a wave of magic that knocks the flashlights out of our hands and snuffs the candlelight.

Harley & I: "Oh, fuck."

Ivy: "Shit."

Then, the skeletons growl as they, too, awaken from their slumber and stalk toward us.

Enchantress: "Get them!"

Harley: "Oh, fuck, yes!"

Ivy & I use my powers and her vines to help Harley & Catwoman fight off the skeleton army.
