Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy 

DC Universe

"She's My Broken Rose" Ivy's POV

It's a never ending toxic cycle between Harley and the Joker. It had started when she was Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist at the Arkham Asylum. Her patient was the Joker. He manipulated her in small ways that she felt sorry for him. For someone who studied psychology, shouldn't she have had seen the signs of manipulation? Or would have being in love blinded her to the point of abandoning her values to free him? Eventually she somehow got him into loving her back. It was toxic from the start. 

As I had witnessed him yell at her, I came over and held her in my embrace. 

"Ivy what are you doing here?" the Joker said and I glared back. 

"Taking her away from you." I unleashed poison ivy to hold him back as I took Harley away. 

As soon as we got to my garden home, she was a mess. Her makeup smeared with the fallen tears. I had fallen for Harley too. I always wanted her, but she was the Joker's for so long. I grab tissues and hand them to her. She wipes her face clean, revealing her freckled face, pure rosy cheeks, and red swollen eyes. 

"Why are you so nice to me? I could've handed him." She said. I know she is lying, I can tell with her. 

"Because I am sick of seeing you take the abuse and not fighting back. He manipulated you from the very start in Arkham Asylum. Even Batman tried that one time to free you of the Joker and yet you run back into Joker's arms." I say with anger. I get close to her and she backs up against the tree. She's used to being afraid, she is a broken rose. Yet the thorns are sharp but as a whole, broken. 

"It's his way of loving Ivy. I can't leave him, he loves me very much so." She says. I roll my eyes as she starts to cry.

I hold her in my embrace and let her cry it out. It is hard leaving someone you love, but this was not good for her. 

"Shh it's okay." I said to her, rubbing her back. All I can do is comfort her and provide her the will to leave him. 

"I'm so stupid. I threw my job away, my entire life, completely gone." Harley sobbed. 

"Don't be silly. You can be a villain, but independent. Or we can be partners." I said to her. I looked into her eyes and they are bright. I see the light of the girl who wanted to be free of the manipulation. Free of the Joker entirely.

"Sure. I would like that. But can I wear something more comfortable?" She says. I smirk. 

"Yes. I have a little cottage down the way, I have a spare room for you and some extra clothes." I say. 

I lead her down the path and holding her hand. I can tell some progress so far, maybe this time, she won't go back to him. I should confess my love for her, make her feel wanted, make her feel the strong woman she truly is.  I want her to know she's perfect and beautiful. 

As we enter the cottage, her eyes glow with happiness as she jumps onto the couch. I smile at the fact she is so pure through all the damage. I go find some pajamas for us to change into and hand a pair to her. Her eyes go wide as its red and black. 

"Whoa, its like you know me so well Ivy." She says. 

"Yeah well your costume is red and black, everything is red and black. However green is better." I say and she glances at my pajamas. 

"It's a good thing that you have that, Green is a meh color. Anyways can we cuddle and watch some TV?" she says. I nod and grab snacks to put on the coffee table. Harley goes to the cassette player and had picked out a movie. 

"But Harley, I need to confess." I say. My cheeks go red as she turns to face me. 

"Go ahead." She says eyeing me up. 

"I am in love with you Harley, ever since I saw you. I wanted you so badly. More than anything in my life. I couldn't have you because the Joker had you in his web. I had gathered the strength to come save you. I understand if you don't feel the same way, that's fine. We can be friends or if your heart can take it, we can go slow. I want to heal the scars on that broken heart of yours. Your my broken rose, I want to bring you back to life." I say while looking into her blue eyes. She is speechless and blinks a couple times. I don't want to be rejected but I had to come out. 

"I never knew you had those feelings Ivy. I did always have a crush on you, even envied your freedom to be a total bad ass you are. I would like to go slow." She says smiling. Damn I love that smile. I go to hug her and she actually kisses me on the lips. We both stayed that way for a few seconds before pulling away. 

As we both were flushed red, I wondered if she liked that. 

"Oh, um, lets cuddle?" She says. I can tell she liked it, she's easy to read. More like an open book.

As we get situated on the couch, she's in my embrace. I know it would take time but for sure I have a shot of mending this rose. She will be stronger than all of us. I'll make sure of it. 

Thanks for reading! 

This might've been long BUT I truly believe deep in my heart that Harley and Ivy can become a thing aka an ENDGAME. I have a huge thanks to my bestie because she did point out some stuff about Joker and Harley's relationship, it's hella toxic. Also having taken a psychology class helped a bit more. hehe.
