RECAP: Harley escapes from Jerome with the help of Ivy. Ivy slips something into Harley's drink, knocking her out. 

Harley's P.O.V

I woke up feeling a little disoriented. I opened my eyes and held my head, groaning. I was lying on a dark green couch in the middle of a greenhouse. I heard a girl humming. I looked to see a redhead watering plants with her back to me. Wait a minute....Oh yeah! Ivy! All that knocking me out and stuff put a damper on my memory. 

I silently snuck up behind her. ''I know you're there.'' She said before I could even scare her.

I huffed. ''Why did ya knock me out?'' I asked. ''What did ya give me?'' 

She turned around to face me. ''It wasn't to hurt you, it was to help you.'' She explained.

''Tell that to the bump on my head.'' I said.

She rolled her eyes. ''If you're going to be hanging out with me, you need to take precautions. I'm dangerous. I don't want to hurt you. I gave you a toxin.'' 

''A toxin? Are you toxic?'' I questioned, stepping back a little.

''I can be. But mainly it's my plants, if exposed they could kill you. But somehow I'm immune. So now you are too. You're welcome.'' She said. 

I smirked. ''So does that mean you wanna hang out with me often?'' 

She smirked right back. ''Of course. I don't have many friends to be honest. Selina doesn't really speak to me much these days. She is to busy.'' She frowned.

I put my arm around her shoulder. ''Well, you got me. The only friend I have is a homicidal clown and I'm not even sure if that's a friendship.'' I said.

''I thought you wanted to get away from him? How would that be being friends?'' She asked.

''Well red-I can call ya red, right?'' I began.

She smiled softly. ''Yes, but you and only you can.'' She said.

I felt special for that. I smirked. ''I sort of seeked him out. I know, it was stupid of me. But I've found I've always been attracted to extreme personalities. I felt this need to know him.'' I explained.

Ivy sat down next to me on the couch and patted my knee. ''I understand. I've had dumb moments like that too.'' She laughed.

''Hey! You weren't supposed to agree with me about that!'' We both laughed.
