"Dammit! Why, why, WHY?" Harley Quinn threw her fists at the cracked stone bricks that imprisoned her and her partner in crime, Ivy. The cell they shared was ghastly- a collection of fluids pooled on the ground, an odor of death hung in the air, and the occasional rat skittered along the walls. A single light swung from a cord in the ceiling. Ivy sat on a tattered cot, filing her nails. Soon, Harley's knuckles were becoming bloody, and she moved to shaking the metal bars violently.

"Dear, if you're worried that they will not release us, fear not," Ivy said, stopping to blow on her fingernails, "I've already devised a plan to get us outta here."

Harley spun around to face her, slumping her shoulders in despair. "I know. Do we ever stay in this hellhole longer than a few hours? No," she clenched her fists once more. " They said they were gonna throw my hammer into the incinerator!! What will I do without it?" she slumped down to the floor and buried her face in her hands.

"My sweet, do not worry about your precious hammer. We will bust out before they even get a man with enough brawn to lift that hammer." Harley laughed at Ivy's remark, glad knowing the fact that Ivy always knew what to say to cheer her up. Harley perked up. "So what's this plan you spoke of?"

"Ah, poison my dear. They never prepare for the poison." Ivy smiled wickedly.

Sirens blared in the air and the entire Gotham police regiment was on the lookout. Ivy had released a classic poison that smothered the inhaler's lung with a green smoke. She smiled as each victim crumpled to the ground with their mouth open, billowing green smoke emitting from their lungs like they had been extinguished. Harley, after recieving her hammer, smashed more than several police officers heads, laughing maniacally each time. Ivy shouted to her,

"Whose our getaway this time, Harl?"

"Mister J. He's got the chopper."

Ivy groand at her response." Why him? After he just let us take the blame for the bank robbing HE did, you wanna forgive him just like that?" Ivy snapped her fingers , and the sound echoed down the halls.

Harley sighed. "I know you dont like him, but you gotta admit; this jailbreak is pretty fun this time, isn't it?" The duo smashed through a window, shattering themselves into the dark of the night.

"There! He's dropping a ladder down for us now!" Ivy nimbly climbed halfway up the ladder, and awaited Harley's ascent up the ladder . As soon as she strapped her hammer onto her back, and climbed up the first few rungs of the ladder, Ivy gave the go ahead to the pilot.

"I gotta say," Ivy looked down at Harley with a smile , "this particular jailbreak was quite thrilling. More fun than running back to base, like last time." Harley smiled up at her. The helicopter hovered back to the girls' hideout.
