(Rocket POV)

"So How'd it go?" I asked Ivy as I walked into the livingroom after a much needed shower. My Queens weren't here when I got back, so I put my attire in the steam cleaner, fed the babies and waited. I noticed Harley holding a big piece of steak on her eye "Are you okay?" I asked her worriedly, rushing over and examining the bruise

"Bitch Query showed up late. Didn't catch her walk in, until she caught me" Harley growled "But Red got 'er"

"You know I got ice packs" I tell her with a chuckle

"Meh. They don't feel the same" She puts the meat back on her eye and sighs with a smile. She looks at my hand and her smile turned into her beautiful grin "What ya got there?"

"J. Wray & Nephew 1940s Rum" I respond, holding up the bottle and showing her

"Sounds posh" She giggles

"And very expensive" Ivy adds, coming over with three glasses and sitting next to me

Harley tilted her head to the side and asked "How expensive?"

"54 grand" I smirk "Some moron brought it to a house party"

"Well let's drink!" Harley cheered loudly. Ivy poured us decent amount of alcohol in each glass, and we all knocked it back. Harley smacked her lips and held out the glass to Ivy for more, of course she got it

"Did you find any information?" I asked my Queens

"He's on 54th and 12th Street, right near a High school" Ivy answered, pouring both of us another drink "In an underground bunker that was left behind during the cold war. He's updated it, made it feel like home"

"Entry?"

"It's voice activated. Apparently you have to answer a riddle" Ivy sighs

"Of course you do" I scoff

"Filled the whole street with his cameras, no blind spots within 20 miles. The ground the bunker is under is laid with mines. He's blown up several of his men already, and no one can remember the answer to the riddle" She informs me

"So he'll be watching. I can hack into his system and fuck with his lock, but I think I'm gonna allow him to see me" I smile

"Is that such a good idea?" Harley scowled "I mean, he's bound to have some sort of defence thingy to stop ya"

"At the moment, I pretty invincible, so I think whatever he has instore for me, won't be too bad. I'll take precautions of course, but if I can show up as Rocket, he might just let me in"

"Why?" Ivy questioned

"Cause I beat him" I snicker "He tried to hack me and I beat him. It would've seriously pissed him off, and he'd like for nothing more than to prove he's smarter"

"But he's not" Harley laughed

"No" I chuckle "But he's gonna do everything to prove otherwise"

"Won't he just kill you" Ivy asked nervously, biting her top lip

"His thing isn't killing, it's outsmarting the enemy, psychological in a way. He'd want to prove it first, making sure that those around him know how smart he is. He's done it to Batfart, The Joker, hell, he's even outsmarted the Justice League a few times. He won't kill me until he has proof"
