Love does cause pain

Powers?!

♦ Harley's p.o.v ♦

After I shoved a third bacon wrapped pancake into my face I looked up with a huge grin on my face, I haven't had a decent home cooked meal in a while and pancakes are my favourite. I scanned the room with the greasy grin still on my face, when I realised nobody was here I hoped off the counter top... I can't help that I like to sit in places I shouldn't, most of the time the places you shouldn't sit are the comfiest bit, like the arm of a sofa. I skipped into the living room to see Skylar wrapped up on the sofa. My little fluff ball, so cute and tiny... Bud and Lou would of loved my baby. I took a deep breath just thinking about Bud, Lou and the twins, what i'm I going to do? I scooped up Skylar and held her close to my chest, I need Red, she makes me feel safe like everything will be okay.

🔥 Phoebe's p.o.v 🔥

I held tears in my eyes as I looked at Ivy, she looked mortified. Maybe I should top it off and tell her that I've been working for The Joker the entire time I've known them; and that I'm the reason she almost died. I should just tell her everything and beg for forgiveness. How should I tell her? Before I could even think of the words to say my head got grabbed and pulled against soft fabric.

"We're family Phoebe. Nobody is leaving anyone behind.... Y-you have to tell Harley though, I'm not keeping anymore secrets from her." I pulled away from Ivy's embrace and looked up at her, tears stored in her emerald green eyes... Why is she being so nice to me, I made her life a living hell. I can't tell her about Joker, I just can't, I'm not ready to lose my family.

I nodded my head and she pulls me into a hug one last time, after she broke the hug we stood up and turned to the door. Ivy slowly dragged the door open, revealing a jolly Harley skipping towards the door.

"Oh that's where ya went ta, me and Skylar was looking for ya's. Breakfast was great Phoebs thanks...." Harley stopped talking for a second, put skylar down on the floor, looked at Ivy, then over to me and frowned. "Wat the hell is goin on guys ?"

Ivy walked through the door and grasped at Harley's hand softly, we all walked back into the kitchen where there was barley any breakfast left. Harley jumped onto the counter top whilst Ivy strategically positioned herself to wrap her arms around Harley's waist.

"Harley ... I-I ... My ... I have powers..." I looked up at Harley with worried eyes as I ignited a flame at the top of my index finger, Harley's eyes lit up then dimmed.

♦ Harley's p.o.v ♦ 

"Y-you... A-and Red... Kitty, Z ... even Skylar." My eyes started to fill with tears of envy, I'm the only one who is... normal, crazy but normal.

"Harl, w-what are you talking about?" Of course she didn't understand, why would she... She's just like all of our other friends, special.

"I- I'm not like you... Or Phoebe, or any of our other friends. I'm not special like you guys, I'm just a failed psychiatrist that is kinda good at gymnastics. I can't control plants with my mind. I can't just magically ignite fire whenever the hell I want. I can't die 9 times and be fine. I cant magically teleport around Gotham with a hat. I cant-"

"Harl. Harley babe stop. Your special, you might not have powers like some of us but that's what makes you even more special. You don't talk to plants like me... And Harl, Selina doesn't have nine lives, she's not a real cat... You have survived without all the metahuman powers, do you really think I could do the heists you do without my powers? Babe I couldn't even dream of it. Your so special Harl."

I wiggled of the counter top and into Red's arms, m-maybe I am special not with powers... But to Red. I pushed back the tears as I gripped at Red, I quickly stopped as I heard my baby wimpier. It's hard to avoid brushing up against any of Red's injury, I feel so bad about what happened to Red... She's lucky to be alive, if it wasn't for....

"Phoebe!" I wrapped my arm around Red's neck at swung around to look at Phoebe, who had worry clearly engraved into her face. "You ... Y-you saved Red! T-tha restraints on the chair... ya heated them up, ya popped them off ta save Red ..."

"You... You saved me?!" Red's disbelief was evident in her voice... I can't believe Phoebe did that either, I wonder what else she did... Fire. Heat? Flames?

When she saved Red her sleeve was already all burnt up, when did that happen? Joker, besties arrived, Pudd- Mr- Joker tried to kill me, found Red dying... Wait Joker! I unlinked from Red and ran over to Phoebe still looking worried, I held onto one of Phoebe's hand and looked deep into her light hazel eyes.

"Y-ya saved my life! Tha bullet, when P- Joker tried ta shoot me ya-"

"He did what?!?" Red seemed .... Oh shi- I never told Red, I- I didn't want her to go on a crazy try to murder P- Joker suicide mission in her condition. I turned to Red, her brows were furrowed... I have some explaining to do.

"Red, it's really not that big of a deal. Um long story short I refused ta fight Kitty and Phoebs to the death so P- Joker tried ta shoot ma head straight off, but end of story I peeled my eyes open still alive coz a Phoebs explodin the bullet bafor I went Kablooey!" Red looked at me unimpressed, looks like she will drop it... For now.

"Soooooooo you guys don't hate me for keeping my powers secret?" I span on my toes to look at Phoebs, still worried.

"What do ya mean Phoebs, why would we hate ya." Phoebe shrugs her shoulders and I giggled for a second then looked back at Red, cogs clearly turning in her brain trying to think up a way to hate Phoebe, it's not her fault... It's hard for her to like people.

I can't be bothered trying to think back, if anything I want to forget everything of late. I skip over to the counter, grabbed a fork and stuck it into a pancake or two. As I started to eat my pancakes I felt Skylar's soft fur against my exposed legs. I finished off my pancakes, lent down and cradled Skylar in my arms. Not long after Phoebe announced she was going to get a shower, leading to Red sneaking over to me. She let her arms loosely hang around my waist, I looked into her devilish emerald green eyes.

"Now that Phoenix is gone..." Before I could question her use of the name phoenix, Red's lips were crushed into mine. The sensation of Red's lips fitting into mine was cut short when Skylar wriggled her way out of my grip.

"Wait! That's it...  Phoebe burnt through the lock!"
