The Right Side of Wrong

Back to School

Veronica's POV:

So, to recap Harley & Ivy's meeting with Lena, Lena somehow secondhandedly got the Heart of Darkness from Catwoman, accidentally released the demon within the necklace, Eclipso, whom Harley decapitated, and wants Ivy's help to run the Metropolis Green Initiative, which would work towards expanding Metropolis' greenery beyond that of Centennial Park. Also, Harley gave Superman a pep talk, encouraging him to take some time off, maybe even in space, to figure out what he should do with his life from now on. And even still, he didn't thank her for helping him. It's not that I care, but she does, and she's my sister, so yeah.

In addition, Harley & Ivy have decided to move to Metropolis for a fresh start, which I fully and wholeheartedly support, especially since Harley already bought a condo from Bruce. Yes, I will miss them, and I may need some time to adjust to their moving so far away, but I can always visit them and vice versa. Whenever they need me, or I need them, I know I can count on them to be there for me and, again, vice versa.

I've decided to visit Harley & Ivy with the triplets to celebrate their new move. So, I roll the stroller into their building, ride the elevator, and walk up to Harley & Ivy's door to find King Shark and his kids as Harley opens the door.

Harley: "King Shark, Ronnie! What are you doing here?"

King Shark: "Oh, you know me, girl. Just cultivating an attitude of gratitude.

Me: "And I thought I'd pay you two lovebirds a visit to see your new nest."

Ivy clears her throat as Harley glances back at her.

Me: "But I can see this is a bad time for you, so we'll come back later."

Harley: "You know what? Maybe come back tomorrow. Ives and I were just about to get it on, and we've got about 30 seconds before the river runs dry."

Harley tries to close the door, but King Shark stops her and crosses the threshold.

King Shark: "Oh, speaking of, I have a date with a lady shark friend, and..." *chuckles*

Ivy: "Hang on. Did you come all the way to Metropolis just for a date?"

Harley: "Wow. Must be a serious piece of tail."

King Shark: "No! I mean, yes, but no! I actually moved here for these little miracles."

King Shark's children then barge into Harley & Ivy's condo and break things.

King Shark: "The property taxes are murder, but it's worth it for the schools. They have a Dutch Immersion program!"

Ivy: *to Shaun* "Hey, hey, little shit! Stop it."

Shaun: *laughs* "Can't stop myself!"

King Shark: "Oh, pretty soon, he'll be able to say that in Dutch."

Harley: "What's Dutch for, 'What the fuck, we just spent a fortune on this place'?"

Me: "Wat de fuck? We hebben net een fortuin uitgegeven aan deze plek."

Everyone glances at me in surprise.

Me: *shrugs* "I got bored during my maternity leave and thought I'd broaden my horizons."

Shaun grabs a throw pillow in his teeth and tears it apart.

Ivy: *points to Shaun* "Do you have a tranquilizer gun for that one, or what?"
