HARLEY & IVY

67: Love and Hate (Part 2)

"I will make all of you pay! Every single one of you!" Ace stated, continuing her attack on the streets below. Suddenly, a water balloon hit her, causing water to splash on her. Ace shrieked as she stopped her attack on Gotham. The electricity reacted to the water for a split second before calming down. "Who threw that!?" Ace demanded angrily.

Another water balloon hit Ace, causing the same reaction as before. "WHO DARES THROW CHILDISH WEAPONS AT ME?!" Ace screamed, causing her eyes to flicker in anger. "I think ya need to cool down!" A voice called. Before Ace could react, a powerful stream of water hit Ace so strong, it forcefully pushed Ace through a window of a building behind her. Dripping wet, Ace slowly stood up. She was very angry and felt like bursting. She looked to see Harley standing by the window she had broken through. The pair was in an office that wasn't currently occupied. The lights flickered as Ace's anger escalated at the sight of the woman in her jester costume. "I am going to kill you!" Ace yelled, shooting her hands towards Harley to shoot lightning at her. However, nothing happened. "What?!" Ace gasped in anger, pulling her arms back. "I may not be the brightest person around but I do know that water and lightning, do not mix" Harley told her, smiling slightly in relief.

Ace screamed as she ran towards Harley. She swung at Harley but she easily dodged her by ducking and punching her stomach. Ace backed up a few steps before going in again. Harley back flipped before punching Ace in the face, knocking her to the ground. Ace clenched her fists as she faced the floor. She stood up and went to hit Harley but Harley grabbed her arm, spun her and shoved her onto her back on the floor. Harley was clearly better at hand to hand combat then Ace. Ace knew this and it angered her more and more.

"Believe me sparkles, I don't wanna fight ya... I know why you are doing this" Harley told her. "Oh yeah?" Ace muttered. "Yeah! You're doing this because of The Joker! Yeah I know. You use to be one of his henchmen. Before it all went pear shaped! Let me guess, Over time you became obsessed like I did and fell for him. You became jealous of me and now... Now you're angry at me for turning my back on him. Does that seem right?" Harley yelled. "He loved you!" Ace yelled back. "NO HE DID NOT!" Harley screamed. "He use to beat me up when I made the smallest of mistakes and would even beat me on days when I did nothing at all! All because he was having a bad day! The beatings sometimes were so severe that I ended up in hospital over and over again with broken bones and concussions! And it was out of my own stupidity that I kept going back to him!" Harley shouted, tearing up at the horrible memories that were coming back.

As Harley kept on going, the burning rage in the pit of Ace's stomach raised. "I hate you, this whole city AND EVERYONE WHO HATE THE JOKER!" Ace screamed, standing up and letting the electricity return to her body. Her eyes now glowed white as she struck the ground in front of Harley with a bolt of lightning. She fell out the window and plummeted towards the street below. Harley was slightly dazed but managed to pull out her grappling hook and stop herself from falling. She hit the side of the building pretty hard and she slid to the floor. Harley landed on the floor and fell to the ground. Her mind was foggy and her body felt weak. She looked up from the ground and saw Ace hovering in front of her. "Scream for me as the electricity runs through your body and burns all of your insides until you are nothing but ash!" Ace stated, charging up to strike. Just then, a strong stream of water hit Ace again from the side and knocked her down. This time, she was out. Harley looked over to her right. "Thank you Commissioner" Harley breathed in relief, happy the whole ordeal is now over.

Ten minutes went by. Ace was arrested and all what was left was the police and paramedics dealing with the people of Gotham. As Harley walked, she over heard two officers talking. "So how come she had different powers?" One asked. "Apparently she was visiting Central City a few years back to pull a robbery. Some explosion occurred and since then, she changed" the other replied. Harley sighed and carried on walking.

Ivy groaned as she slowly stirred. "Sis!" Christie cried happily and hugged Ivy. "Steady on! I'm in a bit of pain. Everywhere aches!" Ivy replied, laughing slightly. "Red!" Harley exclaimed, entering the living room. She ran over and hugged her. Ivy laughed. "Okay, okay, calm down you two! I'm okay!" Ivy said. "Glad your okay sis" Christie smiled happily. Ivy smiled then it faded. "Oh my gosh, the woman! Ace!" Ivy said in a panic. "Shh, it's okay red. She's been arrested. Everything is fine. Ivy sighed in relief. "Can I get ya something red?" Harley asked. "Yes please, glass of water?" Ivy replied. "Sure thing!" Harley replied, hopping up and walking into the kitchen. Ivy looked at Christie. "Sis... earlier you said you had to talk to me about something. Is... is everything okay?" Ivy asked softly. "Oh, uhm... maybe later" Christie replied, looking down nervously. "Sis... please tell me" Ivy said. Christie sighed. "I'm so sorry Ivy but... It's time for me to go home, I-I'm leaving Gotham City" Christie revealed sadly...

And that is part two and the conclusion of this two parter. I've always wanted to do a two parter in this Fanfiction but I never got a good enough idea for one until now so I hope it didn't disappoint. I have done chapters where it carries on in the next chapter but I feel like two parters are focused on one storyline. Just a quick side note, you may have noticed that Christie referred Ivy as Harley's best friend. That's because she doesn't know they are a couple. I just thought I'd clear that up. Any questions regarding the two parter, post in comments below :)

Hoped you all enjoyed this chapter. Post your thoughts in the comments below.
