The Darkest Knight

Chapter 16

Third POV

Bella sat on her bed with Alice going through her drawers. The vampire was humming merrily to herself and Bella didn't like it. That was Alice's 'I know something' song. Alice, despite being able to see the future, was absolutely terrible at keeping a secret. She had so many tells it a blind person would notice them.

"Alice?" Said girl spun around. "Yes?" She asked. "What did you see?" Bella asked and Alice's eyes started darting around. "See what? Why do you think I saw something?!" She panicked. Now Bella was panicking. "No, no. Please tell me you didn't see me and Percy!" Bella exclaimed. Alice started moving weirdly and kept her mouth open, as if she wanted to answer, but couldn't. "Ok, ok. I did. I spied on you and Percy. I'm sorry!" Bella gripped her hair and her eyes grew wide. "I came to see you, because I heard you were sick, but then I saw you and Percy laying in bed and I just had to stick around." Alice explained.

"No! No you didn't!" Bella yelled. She had gotten up and was pacing around her room now. "Oh, stop it Bella. It's not that bad." Alice said and Bella looked at her like she was crazy. "Not that bad!?" She exclaimed. "Not that bad!? Alice, seeing me change is one thing, but seeing... that! Watching me do stuff like that is a bit different!" Bella said and turned towards her door, not seeing Alice's confused face.

"Seeing you do what?" She asked. Bella turned to her. "Really, now you wanna rub it in?" She asked. "Bella." Alice said patiently, a smile slowly making its way on her face. "What are you talking about?" She asked. Bella, still thinking that Alice was messing with her sighed as her face turned red. "You know. When I was..... 'rubbing' myself on him and..." As she spoke, Bella started to slowly realize that Alice actually didn't see what they did and likely only saw them cuddling. "When I..." She said, making an up and down motion with her fist. Alice's eyes are wide. Her mouth hung open.

"Alice?" She didn't answer. "Alice!" Still nothing. Bella walked over and shook the woman. "Alice!" Finally, the vampire answered, but it was just her laughing. "Wait, you. You didn't see that?" She asked. Alice shook her head, mouthing no until she could actually make the sounds that came with the word. "No. I didn't see any of that. Jasper pulled me away before I could." Bella fainted and Alice started laughing hysterically.

Gotham

Selina sat in her apartment, eating one of the candies that she bought from Sweet on America hike petting a cat. She was also watching Tom & Jerry. Then, there was a knock on her window. Looking over she saw two green irises, glowing in the darkness. Selina groaned and stood up, gently placing her kitty on the floor. She opened the window and stepped back to let Poison Ivy in.

"What can I help you with?" She asked. "Can I not just visit my friend?" Ivy asked in her normal seductive drawl. "Normally yes, but I thought you were pissed at me." Ivy waved her hand dismissively. Like she was waving away the bad air between them. "Water under the bridge babe." She said, walking over and taking a seat on the couch. "So. I heard you visited Harley. How is the poor clown. Still torn up about her 'pudding' being dead I'd assume." Poison Ivy said tiredly. "Actually no. She's over him. Somewhat I guess. She has a new Mista J and she's been clean for two years. Well, most of that time she was bedridden, but still." Selina said, sitting next to the green woman. "Candy?" She asked. "Thank you."

Poison took the candy and popped it into her mouth. After the first two bites she was moaning. Selina expected his reaction, but sheesh. Even she wasn't this sexual.

"Where did you get this? This are much better than shit they sell here." Ivy said. "Got it from where Harley works now." Selina replied. "She works at a candy store?" The cat burglar nodded. "Yup. Guess she didn't stray too far from her personality while in hiding." She said. Ivy nodded and picked up another piece if candy. "I'll have to visit this place. What's it called?" She asked.

"Um, before I tell you, I have to give you a warning. Harley is extremely hurt right now and is still mentally recovering so if you do visit her and she's on shift, be real careful of what you say. Two, no stealing. The woman that owns the place is way too sweet to be robbed. Three, Harley's new 'puddin' is the Darkest Knight and he will fuck you up. I heard that Penguin went to 'do business' with him, probably trying to get him into his gang and that how he ended up with an electrified piece of rebar shoved in his dick." Ivy, with wide eyes nodded slowly.

"Right. Got it."

Manhattan
Goldstein Apartment

Nico and Nell stood in their workshop, each hunched over their own personal workstation. Nell had a can of beer in front of her and Nico seemed to be on her twentieth cigarette. The only sound in the room was the tinkering and metal clangs of their material.

"Slut." Nell said randomly. Nico turned around and looked at her grandmother. "What?" She asked. "I said. Slut." Nell said, not bothering to turn. "I know, but I'm confused." Nico clarified. "I know what your doing. Giving Percy gifts and shit." Nell said. Luckily Nico could hear the smile on her face. "Can you tell me what I'm doing, cause I don't know what your talking about." Nico said. "Don't get smart with me." Nell said, finally turning around. "Girl, I'm in my fifties. You think I don't know flirting when I see it?" She said. "Even if it's in yo weird ass way, I know what your doing. You tryna get his attention." Nico turned back to her work. "Why would I want his attention?" She asked.

"Cause you a lonely ass slut who won't stop rubbing ya damn pussy every fucking night." Nico paused. "Yea. I can hear you. Ya lil nasty." Nell said. "Grandma!" Nico exclaimed, embarrassed for the first time in a while. "Look. I get it. When you don't have the real deal in a while it gets frustrating. Trust me, I know." Nell said making Nico groan. "Ew!" She said. "But, could ya keep ya self just a bit quieter?" Nell said, obviously enjoying the torment of her granddaughter. "Well, what about you!? You gave him the rifle for free." Nico argued. "Oh yea. I'm tryna fuck him." Nell answered casually. "What!?"

"Like I said. I'm old. With all the drinking I do, I'm likely not gonna be around much longer. My health might look perfect now, but that can easily plummet. I want a young one before I kick the bucket." Nico threw a rag at her grandmother. "That's disgusting!" Nell just laughed at her.
