Harley Quinn once more stole Franky's motorcycle. She didn't intend to bring it back. She broke down on the drive into the city and had to take a break from riding just to catch her breath. She had ripped off parts of her jester costume since it reminded her of Joker, and undid her pig tails. Harley was a mess. She didn't know where to go so she just left to the only other place she knew well enough, Gotham City.

Poison Ivy had just gotten done with a stroll into a clothing department store and came out with a few items, leaving screaming customers.
"Heh." She laughed to herself, glancing around at the pathetic humans. "YOU KNOW THE SHOWER WONT WASH OFF MY TOXINS!" She yelled, very pleased with intimidating people. The victim screamed and scratched their skin as it slowly turned increasingly pale until they passed out. Ivy watched in delight, biting her lip with satisfaction.
"Hm, what a nice night. The humans are especially meager and the air is crisp." Ivy said, running her fingers through her long, red hair. She wandered around a little bit before being pleasantly surprised by a floral shop. She made her way in and ceased to make a scene, she just admired the beautiful flowers. Ivy plucked a nice red poinsettia and placed it in her hair. Then she returned outside and looked at herself in the window. Ivy blushed.
"Well aren't you a beauty? Don't worry, I will take good care of you." She said to it, touching it's red petals.

Harley jumped off the motorcycle and ran through the city, holding her bat in one hand. She pounded anyone who tried hitting on her, she wasn't in any kind of flirty mood. Her eyes darted around everywhere, looking for some kind of sign of Poison Ivy. Unfortunately tonight Ivy was keeping it on the down low, besides the clothing department store, so that made it extremely hard for Harley to find one girl in this massive city.
"Damn you Ivy, of course this is the night ya don't go all out! Hmm where would the kid be?" Harley asked herself, slowly forgetting about the Joker and focusing on spotting Ivy.

Ivy sauntered around Gotham, wearing a jacket she had stolen to cover most of her body. She realized it would be very easy to recognize her in a crowd, not everybody is green and covered in plants, so she compromised. Poison Ivy some nights enjoyed just meandering around, not only pick pocketing and swiping items in store, but searching for little plant stores. She wanted to grow back what once was. Not a polluted city, but a blossoming forest. By seeing people running these small shops, made her feel some kind of joy. A little hope. That was why she never raided or terrorized them, she had some respect for the owners and didn't want to stress the plants. This was the only humane quality Pamela had kept while turning in Poison Ivy.  Ivy was playing with a few ferns in Poppy's Plant Mart when Harley slid into the store, gasping for air,
"PAMMY!" She yelled, sprinting up to her, arms wide, "OH I KNEW YOUD BE HERE!"
The shop owner screamed and pointed at Harley Quinn,
"Its you! Get out! I'm calling the police!"
"No need, I don't want any of your smelly flowers anyways!" Harley laughed while hugging Ivy's waist.
Poison Ivy pushed Harley out of the store by the head and grabbed her shoulders,
"Let's go."
"Well hiya Red! How's it going?" Harley asked while they were speed walking away.  Ivy shrugged and touched her new flower.
"OoOo, I like the new touch, very nice very nice." Harley switched sides with Ivy to get a better look and nodded, "I'm guessin ya decided to keep it on the down low tonight?"
"Sort of." Ivy pulled a brown fur coat out of her shopping bag. "Put this on."
Harley did what she said. Ivy looked at her and made a face, "That's no good. I can still see your costume. Why's it all ripped up? Anyways um. Come here"
Ivy pulled Harley into the closest alleyway and they crouched behind some rubble. Ivy undressed Harley without hesitation and rummaged through her bag,
"Really takin it to the next level eh Red?" Harley joked, looking at her ratted jester costume as it lay on the floor.
"Shut it and try this." Ivy handed a pair of black shorts and a pink button up to Harley and continued to take stuff out of her bags. She put on some tight, blue pants and kept the red hoodie she already had on. Harley obeyed and put on the new clothes, observing them on her body,
"Oh cmon Red it's cold outside." She complained.
Poison Ivy grabbed the brown fur jacket Harley had on before and aggressively put it on her and then pushed Harley out onto the sidewalk.
"Happy?"
"Hehe, yeppie!" Harley beamed, snuggling up in her coat. They looked somewhat like the citizens from Gotham and seemed to blend in alright.
"It's too bad your green." Harley pointed out, looking under the hoodie at Ivy's face.
"That's why I'm keeping the hood on." Ivy said blankly, pushing Harley away.
They kept their hands in their pockets and leisurely moseyed away, trying to draw the least amount of attention to themselves.
"Why do you suddenly care so much if we get caught?" Harley questioned quietly.
"Because we get caught."
"No no I mean we were stealing tons the past few nights in plain sight and no one ever took us in."
Ivy thought about it.
"I don't know, it's just tonight I had the supplies and I just wanted to make sure we didn't get caught. Also the GCPD was pretty close to that flower shop so if we had stayed much longer we'd have most likely been taken in."
"Doubt it. You and I could get out of anythin!"
Ivy smiled from under her hood.
"Got any place to be tonight?" She asked.
"Nope nope nope!"
"Okay c'mon I'll take you back to my home."
