Her Harlequin || Harlivy/Eccoivy | Gotham ||

II

It was another day of killing some people who were stupid enough to wander on her grounds, once they were dead, the plants began to take to them. Ivy smiled as she watched them curl around their bodies, she hummed turning as she left them to do their thing. She went inside as she tended to some of the plant life around her.

She lightly touched a certain leaf that wrapped around her finger in response, making her smile. "Your welcome friend," she whispered.

That was when the door opened making her turn fast ready for her vines to attack but then she saw it was Ecco again.

"Hiya Red!" Ecco greeted bouncing a little in her step as Ivy groaned.

"Why are you back?" Ivy asked.

"I told you already, silly, we're going to be friends," she said with a bright smile.

Ivy rolled her eyes, "whatever," she turned back to what she was doing. Ecco watched her, smiling widely like the Cheshire cat when she noticed the plants react to her. She snuck closer to a point where when Ivy turned again, she was face to face distance with Ecco!

Ivy tried to back up to get space but realized she was against a table, "do you have to be so close?"

"I was just watching what you were doing," Ecco said with a shrug and a lopsided smile, she then booped her nose which Ivy could have stopped but didn't, "you are really neat, red!"

"Thanks," she said in a not very appreciating way, the blonde finally gave her space as she just crossed her arms.

Ecco took a seat in one of the only seats in this place as she smiled at her, "so how was your day? I noticed the bodies wrapped in your friends outside, very nice work."

"I thought so too," Ivy said, not sure why she was tolerating Ecco being here, she wasn't a threat, she said she wanted to be friends, maybe she isn't that bad? Maybe. "So does Jeremiah Valeska know you're coming to see me?"

Ecco hummed looking around acting as if she was thinking about it, "well no," she giggled, "but this can be our little secret, right?"

Ivy just did not understand this girl, "here I thought you were loyal to him," she said as she took a seat, crossing one leg over the other, "aren't you his girlfriend?"

Ecco eagerly nodded at that, "mhm! Mistah J is the love of my many lives, my savior, my life," she said dreamily.

"A little dramatic but okay," Ivy shrugged.

"You don't get it, but that's alright! I forgive ya!" Ecco giggled.

Ivy tilted her head, "I usually don't say this but you are nuts, aren't you?"

"Nuts is a broad term," Ecco shrugged leaning back pursing her lips as she quietly giggled to herself, "I'm free, Mistah J helped me with that!"

"What do you mean?" For some reason, she felt actually interested in what Ecco had to say, she's so used to never being able to connect with anyone. Everyone would think she's weird and run from her. Not Ecco. Ecco came to her and then came back. Something no one else has done.

Ecco straightened up in her seat as she moved her hair turning her head to show Ivy a scar on the side of her head. It seemed to be a bullet wound scar.

Ivy's lips parted, not letting any noise come out, but she was shocked. She said Jeremiah helped her be free... Did he shoot her?

"Did he shoot you?"

"No!" Ecco laughed, "no, no, he gave me the gun with one bullet and well you know the game," the blonde bit her lip as she shook her head, Ivy noticed something off when she did that, Ecco had gotten a bit disoriented afterward, "the bullet is still inside, rattling around in there, hehe, boy do I feel it when the nights get cold!"
