Sirens

🐱GOTHAM SIRENS ONLY !🐱

🌱 Ivy's p.o.v 🌱

"Really tho guys, he loves me... he's justa little less... erm traditional." Of course Harley invited us for coffee, with no intention of actually having time to drink any. Looking over to Selina I saw her mirroring my expression of boredom, whilst she clutched her mug of hot chocolate with a ridiculous amount of extra sugar dissolved within.

Rolling my eyes I gave out a loud sigh as I looked over to Harley, of course she didn't pick up on my eyes filled with obvious disappointment... to notice she would actually have to pay attention to something other than her increasingly worrying relationship with Jack, that Joker is in her mind all the time especially when he's not actually around at all. You would think that because she majors in Psychology she would notice all the sighs, horticultural science isn't exactly the study of the human mind and its functions but I have eyes. Jack is playing a dangerous game with Harley's life and she's letting him do it.

I pulled my eyes away from her and down to the mug in my hands. Green nail polish against a white mug filled with green tea, I lifted the mug to my lips and took a long sip feeling the heat traveling through my body, refreshing. I felt my eyes drift shut for only a moment, mug still pressed against my lips.

"Are ya even listenin' Red?" The pot stuck to my lipstick as I pulled it away and sat it back down on the table, nodding slowly I peeled my eyes open.

Harley's bottom lip hung until I looked up to her sparkling baby blues. She smiled and carried on talking about her love life. I let my eyes drift down to the table, stopping when I noticed a small wilting daffodil crammed into a glass vase, quarter filled with old water.

Poor baby.

It wasn't long before my intense gaze brings colour back to the daffodils petals, my heart stops for the hundredth time this month. I ripped my gaze from the plant and slammed my eyes shut, only to see memories flash back leading me to open my eyelids rapidly, not even needing time to readjust to the light. Scanning around I saw that small daffodil, vibrant and very much alive, I also met dark chestnut brown eyes. Selina's eyes were hard to read but the smirk on her face told me she saw what I did, again.

Selina forced the truth out of me, as soon she saw the stem from my precious 'queen of the night' lilly wrapped around my wrist. I was freaking out. She was freaking out. My lilly was freaking out, until it finally let go of me. Running to this same coffee shop as fast as our legs could carry us, thankfully not chased down by what was my favourite little baby. I told her about what happened in the lab... well everything she needed to know, everything I was willing to tell. Late night experiment gone terribly wrong. Selina let me crash with her that night and we investigated my dorm room together the next morning, I didn't know if I was glad that Harley was still staying in that maniacs dorm or if I thought she had a better chance against the clingy plant monster, which had returned to normal.

"Uhm Yeh speaking life threatening choices." I snapped out of it as the voice in the background changed, from high pitched to snarky and laced with sarcasm, good old Selina. "Why is nobody excited?!"

"Hu?" I rolled my eyes at Harley's ability to forget about everything, that didn't include her Puddin.

"Nononooo. Harleyyyyy, don't you dare tell me you haven't withdrawn for a gap yearrr." Harley's eyes bulged and she turned to me, wide grin spreading over her face.

"Of cours' I did silly-" Selina turned her gaze to me eventhough Harley lips parted, clearly not finished, ready to continue rambling about the Clown.

"And you?" I rolled my eyes and dragged my head to line up with Selina's.

I raised my mug again and took another sip whilst nodding, a smile spread across Selina's face. Pulling the mug away slightly my eyebrow tugged up into a point.

"You do know it's not actually a year right? We can probably leave for a semester or two, otherwise it's impossible to catch up." I took another sip, ready to hear Selina's idiotic response.

"Ehh! Who cares." It's hard not to roll my eyes at Selina, so yet again my eyes roll from left over to right and back to Selina. I dropped my mug to the table and crossed my arms over my chest.

"You might not care, seems you told your boss that you accidentally got pregnant so you can get paid time off-"

"Aahaah! I'm being a surrogate mother too a good friend, like accidently pregnant would have been believable." As Selina rolled her eyes at me, I let a throaty laugh slip through my lips.

As silence fell over the group I smiled, sure we're far from perfect but we work. I let out a sigh, welcoming the pleasant silence.

"So I was thinking..." 7 seconds... that's a new record for Harley.

"No." I heard Selina snort at my instant shut down, I didn't even have to look at Harley to know she was going to try and carry on. "Jok- Jack can't come."

"Yeh GOTHAMS SIRENS ONLY!" Selina and her stupid little group name, it doesn't even make any sense? We're the sexeist women in Gotham? Okay a little stuck up are we Selina?

"That means you too Selina, Bruce can't come." Selina flicked her hand and laughed, like it was the most ridiculous thing I could have said.

Sometimes I wondered why they were together, there complete opposites. Bruce a smart rich goodie goodie and Selina a college drop out with no money who is the definition of rebel. There one similarity is that there both players. There probably not going to last much longer but Bruce will be the only heartbroken one, Selina will just mourn his bank card.

"Oh trust me he's not coming, wouldn't want him spoiling all of my- OUR trip TOOO...."

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed, kinda a boring start but hey I hand this over too Ivy who gets to pick where we're going on holiday. I'm excited to see how carries it on... see you after 2 parts 😂 ~Selina K💜
