Ivy

Chapter four - stupid clown

I was in the middle of eating my lunch which was a hamburger with cheese, fries and chocolate pudding with milk. Even though this place is a mess it sure does have good food. I almost got Riddlers pudding but I got his riddle wrong and he stole mine.

Wait where was I?

Oh right

Well I was savoring my meal when Harleen walks in some guys stare, other whistle at her trying to get her attention which she shrugs off.

Stopping at my table smiles. "Hello Iven, I hope I'm not intruding anything" she says while sitting down in front of me.

I take another bite of my hamburger "IT'S Ivy and no". Riddler is sent away leaving me and her alone at the table.

"Sorry IVY, I can tell you're in a better mood so I was wondering if I could continue my questions" Harleen pulls out her notepad and pen fixing her glasses. "Is that alright? "

I nod continuing to eat " Fine go ahead Doc" that makes her giggle and it makes me smile.

"Okay well you already stated that your name is Ivy and your real name is Iven, so Ivy why did you kill Mr. Johns " clicks her pen ready to write.

I shrug " I don't know I was mad for what he did I knew it was wrong but" I smile remembering " I felt powerful usually I'm a big push over but when I saw him coward under me I felt strong"

She nods writing "well at least you know what you did was not right that's the first step to getting better, How has your stay been so far? The guys treating you alright? " I notice a slight jersey accent to her voice. But giving the fact that I can also tell she's trying to hide it I don't point it out.

"Yeah their alright still a little stunned to see a girl here but they're okay" I bite my lip " can I ask a favor? "

Putting her notepad down looks at me " Sure sugar, I mean yes of course"

"Um if it isn't much I would like to know if I can have a plant in my room I feel pretty lonely without one" I say shyly rubbing my arm.

" Alright I think I can work something out with the other doctors after all we do want you comfortable" slowly she gets up too leave.

" Miss Quinzel?" I say grabbing her arm making her pause "Can you maybe come back tomorrow? it would be nice to talk to another girl"

"I would love to Ivy" she starts walking Away her heels clicking with every step.

"M-miss Quinzel!"

She stops at the door turning to me.

"You shouldn't hide your accent I like it" I smile brightly at her as a daisy grows in her coat pocket. She smiles back at me before leaving.

Riddler comes back an hour later I was watching tv next to the Mad Hatter who was going on and on about someone named Alice.

" Hey little red did blondie give you a hard time? " He asks plopping down onto the couch.

I knock his hat off his head growl " Her names Harleen not blondie and no she's actually really nice" I huff crossing my arms.

He holds his hands up in defence " sorry sorry jeez little red no need to be upset" he chuckles picking his hat up " My boss wants to see you tried to tell him it was too early but he insisted"

"The joker fellow right? " I ask raising a brow

"That's him so let's go" He grabs my arm pulling me out to the lock down room. Any one overly crazy gets sent here apparently he killed a guard last night for the fun of it.

Softly Ruddler knocks on the door " I brought her here like you asked" he pauses we hear shuffling inside and a laugh. "Should i let her in? "

" WELL OFF COURSE BRAINIAC! HAHAHA!" the door is swung open making me jump back in fright.

The joker is wearing an orange jumpsuit like me green hair in every direction as if he had just woken up. Clown make up on except for the eery red smile that went from cheek to cheek. It was hard to tell if he was smiling or if it was the make up.

" Well come in come in I promise not to bite you too hard dear hahaha!" He laughs stepping aside.

I glance at Riddler who just nods nudging me forward "So um why did you want me here? "

He sits down watching me "Well I wanted to meet the famous red headed girl you're stealing my spot Light but I will share it for now" laughs again.

"I don't see how that's funny" I put my hands on my hips

"Well that's because you're being too serious sweet cheeks like I told that doctor frowns don't like nice on a pretty girls face" pulls a chair in front of the bed that was attached to the wall. "Please take a seat I must say your work was very. . . Impressive did you have fun doing that?

Yes,yes we did lots of fun haha

I shake my head sitting "No it was wrong Harleen said I was already improving "

"Ah! So you've met her sweet girl but she's hiding something something fun! Like you! " he smiles leaning back

I frown Riddler had told me what he had done to other doctors " Don't even think about hurting her joker" my lip twitches up into a smile "what kind of name is that anyways ' joker ' its a stupid name for a clown"

Riddler slowly backs Away before running off mumbling something.

" Well that wasn't very nice too bad I was starting to like you" sighs before jumping on me knocking me and the chair down in the process "Looky here ivy,  I am in charge so if you plan to stay alive I advice you to play nice" he laughs squeezing his hands around my neck.

I lift my hand up vines grabbing him and slamming him into the wall this only make him laugh more. Grabbing the chair slam it into my back

"Bad girl bad that's not how you play! " he raises the chair again but I catch it on time with vines throwing it across the room pull others around him send him to the ceiling. Curling my fist I get ready to slam him down.

" Ivy stop!" Harleen stands by the door looking up at him "Ivy sugar put Mr.J down gently"

My head whips toward her " This is a terrible man Harley don't feel sorry for him"

Harleen blinks "Harley? only friends call me that" shakes her head " Ivy please I don't want them to stun you put him down"

I groan and put him down march out of the room. Grumbling under my breath I peek over to see Harleen next to the joker. Her look of worry wasn't for me it was for him "some friend"

Riddler waits for me in my cell a plant on the desk. My rose from the lab a note reads:

Dear ivy,
It took some time to find it but we found this in your old lab thought it would make you feel more at home .
P.s feel free to call me Harley only my friends call me that

FROM: HARELY

Sitting on my bed hug my rose close to me calming. My first friendship was going so well and then the joker ruined everything. I know he'll hurt her but i won't let that happen even if she hates me now.

Stupid clown

Ruined everything
