Happy Valentine's Day Gotham

LOCATION: Adam & Eve Florist (or what's left of it)

I take in a deep breath but my lungs immediately reject the cold frost that hung in the air causing me to cough up the dust and soot from the explosion 

We look back at the destruction and chaos behind us both amazed and relieved that we had escaped the death trap in time.

"Wow that was close!" Harley Quinn exclaims as she shakes off the rubble that covered her bright red outfit 

It was clear that Red Claw had intended to betray Ivy all along that trap was meant for her, I look around the eerily silent street but Red Claw is nowhere to be seen also she had taken the cure with her, I need to get that cure back time is running out for the men in Gotham and Batman.

I begin to hear my communicator ring,

"Hey where are your stingers?" Ivy asks me,

 I'm really tiered of my absent stingers being pointed out in every damn conversation but I have to admit I felt at a disadvantage for not having them

"Just don't" Cat Woman warns Ivy who rolls her bright green eyes at her,

I answer my borrowed communicator "Widow we've got a big problem Red Claw is back in town" Bat Girl informs me through the speaker we all look at each other baffled by the obviously too late information

"No duh!" I hear Harley Quinn yell over my shoulder

"Yeah we already know, but wait it gets even better too she has the cure to the slumber toxin and we have absolutely no idea where she has gone she destroyed every thing here and the clock is still ticking" I tell Bat Girl cynically, today was a bad day please give me some good news anyone

<I try and think through everything that Red Claw said but nothing gave me a clue of her destination>

"Well here's some good news Black Widow we were able to catch one of Red Claws men and he seems a bit hesitant to talk perhaps you would like to consult this interrogation back at the GCPD"

Bat girl you have just my day considerably better.

LOCATION: GCPD (Gotham City Police Department)

Back at the GCPD Bat Girl and Cat Woman speculate where a chopper could extract Red Claw from Gotham,

Poison Ivy had hesitantly agreed to help us bring Red Claw down, but she sat quietly in the corner feeling a little foolish at Red Claws deceit,

I understood that she cared about nature but she took it too far if all the men in Gotham were to die I'm not sure her conscious could take the weight of it,

<no matter how much Ivy might wish otherwise a large part of her was still human>

Harley had gone to check on the Joker wherever he is

Officer Montoya had made it her mission to find out where Harley was keeping him in an attempt to lock him back up in Arkham before Gotham woke up she tried to follow Quinn but she was very careful in where she has him tucked away but as curious as I was to find out where the Joker was I had other business to take care of 

I wait outside the interrogation room until Red Claws man wakes up which thankfully he dose quickly  

It seemed that she had made sure to give her men the antidote to the sleeper toxin lucky for this guy, but unlucky for him he was locked up in a room with me and I was in a bad mood
