"Hey wildflower." Harley said moving the hair out of Ivy's face, she stirred, blinking a couple times before waking up fully. She sat up and felt pain in the side of her neck. Her hand went to her neck.
"Ah, no don't touch that." Harley said grabbing her hand, she intertwined their fingers and smiled at Ivy .
"What happened?" Ivy asked before breaking out into a huge yawn, Harley's face fell before she spoke, Ivy could tell.
"You had some sort of panic attack or something, you passed out but it's alright no one's hurt." Harley said, Ivy nodded slowly and looked down at her hands.
"I'm sorry."
"No! No don't be sorry Pam-a-lamb." Harley said leaning down and kissing the top of her head.
"Are your bruises healing okay?" Harley said rubbing her hand up and down Ivy's arms.
"Yea I'm alright."
The door burst open and Kate walked in with Lena in tow. Ivy sat up and waved.
"Hey kiddo, are you feeling okay?" Kate said ruffling Ivy's hair before putting her hand on the back of her head, she pulled Ivy closed and kissed the top of her head before sitting down.
"I'm alright."
"I brought Lena because she wants to run tests on you, see why what happened, happened." Kate said putting her hand on Ivy's arm, Ivy looked up at Kate with a worried look on her face.
"What kind of tests?" She asked looking down at her hands, Lena leaned forward and put her hand on Ivy's knee.
"Just a few blood tests." Lena said, Ivy ran her fingers up and down the scattered needle scars on her arm and swallowed.
"It's gonna be alright, just a few little shots." Lena said leaning back in her chair
Harley furrowed her brow and stared at Kate, frustration written all over her face.
"Kate, outside." Harley said standing up, Ivy looked up at her and cocked her head.
"What's wrong my love?"
"Nothing sweetie I just need to talk to Kate." Harley said leaning down and giving her a quick peck on the lips before grabbing Kate by the arm and dragging her outside.
Harley closed the door before turning to Kate quickly.
"What is it Quinn?"
"Tests? Really Kane, that poor girl was trapped for days being stabbed with needles constantly, and you want you stick her with more needles?" Harley asked crossing her arms across her chest, Kate sighed and rubbed her face.
"You're right, we can hold off on the tests." Kate said leaning against the door, Harley nodded and looked down at her necklace with the engagement ring still hanging off of the chain.
"When are you gonna put that back on your finger?" Kate asked crossing her arms, Harley took the necklace off and slid the ring off, she looked at it and lined it up with her ring finger, she stopped.
"What?" Kate asked, Harley's hand shook as she stared down at the ring. Kate grabbed her hand.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"It feels like the universe is against us, we've had obstacles thrown at us and then when I finally thought we were at a good place she died." Harley said putting the ring in the palm of her hand, Kate grabbed the ring and then Harley's hand, she slipped the ring on her finger and held the hand.
"Quinn, I've never seen two people love each other the way you two do, don't worry." Kate said, Harley smiled and looking at her hand before looking at the bedroom door. Kate smiled and opened the door, walking in with Harley.

"Remember how you had me and Harley running constantly?" Ivy said walking over to Kate, Kate smiled as she watched the group run their laps around the camp, she put her hands on her hips and continued watching the group.
"Ok, to be fair I caught you two having sex in the middle of a mission three times." Kate said chuckling, she jabbed her elbow into Ivy playfully. She turned to Ivy, her face fell noticing the bags under Ivy's eyes, she grabbed her chin and turned her head to face her.
"There's something wrong." Kate said, Ivy nodded and looked down at her feet.
"I haven't been able to sleep, to really sleep. I'm tried." She said picking at the skin on her fingers, Kate sighed and nodded, rubbing her back.
"Is there anything I can do?" Kate asked, Ivy shook her head and crossed her arms.
"Hey, take your time." Kate said squeezing her arm, Ivy nodded and looked out at the group, they were still running.
"So, do you still wanna get married to Harley."
"Of course I wanna mar-
Ivy took a sharp breath in, she took another one and her hand flew to her chest.
"Kid?" Kate said grabbing both of her shoulders, ivy tried to take another breath but she couldn't. She was choking, on what, Kate didn't know.
"What's wrong?" Kate said shaking her shoulders. Ivy's eyes started to glow, a deep dark green.
She pushed Kate back with both of her hands, Kate flew back and Ivy stumbled back onto the ground, her hand flew to her neck, she topped the bandage off of her neck and clawed at her neck, the black lines coming back, Kate ran over to her and grabbed her by her shoulder. Ivy pushed her back, whirling around and punching her in the face. Kate gasped and held her cheek staring at Ivy.
Ivy punched her again making her fall to the ground, she straddled Kate and began punching her over and over, She raised her arms trying to cover her face. Ivy grabbed a rock off of the ground and raised her hand ready to hit Kate with the rock.
Suddenly Ivy was on the ground, with Harley straddled on top of her, holding her down to the ground and her arms being held to her sides by Harley's legs
"Ivy! Ivy look at the what's happening?!" Harley yelled, Ivy winced and took a sharp breath in. Vines wrapped around Harley and threw her off of Ivy. Her hand flew back to her neck and she scratched her neck.
Suddenly, she fell to the ground, the plants around Harley wilting. Harley stood up and ran over to her, scooping her up into her arms, she cupped her face.
Kara held her hand out for Kate to take, she took her hand and stood up, holding her cheek. She limped over to Harley and put her Hand on her shoulder.
"Kate, are you alright? What happened?" Harley asked looking up at Kate, blood poured down her nose and her lip. She kneeled down and took Ivy's limp hand.
"Quinn there's something seriously fucking wrong with her, we need to run tests on her, we need to know what's wrong with her." Kate said, Harley scoffed and shook her head, she ran her fingers through Ivy's hair.
"No, no you can't. Kane if a needle goes even an inch away from her I'll break your fucking arm." Harley said picking Ivy up, she walked off toward her room.
"Kate, we need to figure out what's going on with her, before she hurts more people." Kara said, Kate ran her fingers through her hair and nodded.
"I know we do." Kate said, Kara pulled her into a tight hug and rubbed her back.
"Let's get you fixed up." Kara said leading her to the medical cabin.
