It had been weeks upon week with Ivy they had pounds of cash from the two using their wits to sneak into places. Until Harley had a strange feeling to call Joker, just to check on him since he hadn't been on the news much. What she didn't know was the man hadn't thought about her for a second until he heard a call from his phone. "Hello? Who has this number?" He quickly sat down to track the number. "Hey Puddin. Ya miss me?" She smiled through the phone smiling. "I thought you were here?" He looked around thinking the girl had been pranking him, but he hung up without a care in the world since he wasn't worried about her. He didn't need her, to him men were the one who understood how to listen to him instead of arguing back. Though one thing he wanted was someone or something to use for pleasure, he was the joker in his mind if he made someone do it they'd do it.
Harley had felt slightly hurt. She could hear footsteps approach. "Harley?" Ivy mustered. "Pammy!" She jumped. "Who were you calling?" She questioned. "I just wanted to check in with...mistah J." She explained. The room had been silent for a few seconds until Ivy had finally spoke up. "Get out." She pointed to the door. "But Pam..I." The sweet soft eyes Harley had seen had become so dark they looked almost black, Ivy's skin was a darker green as well. "Get out." Her voice was abrupt. Harley had hunched over. "I-."
"GET OUT!" Her vines had arose. Thorns that looked the same size as knives. Harley cowered she rushed out of the house. She rushed back to the door forgetting her jester outfit. She knocked. Once. Twice. There was no answer. What she didn't know was the red head was laying on the ground with tears that dripped down like a waterfall or a glacier slowly passing though into the ocean. She head the know filled with hope but she looked down, and shook her head.

The joker had become darker his jokes involved something worse. He burned off people's faces with a new acid he had created. He used it on most of his henchmen if they disobeyed him. He had threatened to use it on Harley a few times.
It scared her how much she loved him even if he forced her to fight Batman, Robin, and Batgirl with a broken rib from the kicking and being pushed to the floor the makeup she covered her face with hid them well. When fighting with batgirl her punches hit the exact spot the Joker hit her in, the pain had gone away at that point, all of the adrenaline that rushed through her veins caused her to stop feeling the pain. She's punch with her broken hand and yet it caused a lot of damage to the person she hit.
The after affects were worse though. Once she finally relaxed the pain was unbearable, that's why she always kept moving. The pain went away if she didn't sit down. She put 2 cups of sugar in food and drinks that caused to pain to fade because of the extra rush it gave her.
Until on her birthday.
"Mistah J? Isn't ter somthin ya wanna tel moi?" She smiled.
"No. Shoo. I'm busy. Tonight is gonna be special." He smiled wickedly.
"Awe, how sweet. Puddin's gotta surprise for moi." She smiled brightly leaving his room. She was excited, she knew he hadn't forgotten her birthday this year.

Ivy was preparing herself to go sneak into Wayne enterprises new load of fertilizer. It could have been a trap so she grabbed things that would help her escape from the Bat. Her plants whispered a song to her as she poured the right amounts of water to them. Red as a rose, green like the leaves that sway through the whistling wind. Pamelas that sing along with me are my favorite dream. A single daffodil can shave off the poisonous thorns from an ivy vine from its bright beautiful light.
It was a new tune that they began to sing.
//
Harley placed on her new outfit. It was a surprise for Mr. J. She dyed the tips of her hair black and red and she wore a right outfit that was skintight.
All of Jokers goons followed behind him as they left. "Puddin? Why er they comin?" She asked confused. "Because not just you can distract all three bats." He explained.
She looked down. He had forgotten her birthday...again. She was disappointed. "I'm gonna stay tonight." She turned.
"You can't just leave?" Joker turned. "I'll tell you when you can leave and when you can stay." His voice had gotten heavier. "Today was supposed ta be my special day!" She yelled in anger. "That's it!" He yelled pulling out the gun with the new acid he had made. He dated it and the fumes slowly lured out crawling up toward harley's face. His henchmen covered their faces in fear of what was to come. She breathed I'm the chemicals "is at a touch a vanilla?" She asked. They all looked at her shocked. "Honey I'm sorry...I've gotta temper you know that." His voice was nervous.
"Right." She rolled her eyes. He began to cackle. "What's so funny?" She glared. "I knew you spending time with that human plant would ruin my plans so I upped the dose. Something even poor ivy couldn't handle." He lied, causing Harley to panic. "It starts to take affect after 2 hours and I know you don't want to die do you? If you come with me I promise to give you the antidote." He smiled wickedly.
"Fine." She looked down disappointed for falling into another one of his traps.

The redhead was checking around to see if the bat was near but she heard a loud clank. "Help me." She could hear the evil clowns voice scold someone. "I...I can't." Her heart had skipped at the voice. "It's just a plant." He growled. Harley was beginning to tear up, because she felt torn between wanting to live and keeping the plant alive. After the time she spent with Ivy and being away from her closet friend, she could see how beautiful nature really was. After the night Ivy kicked her out, it was as if the plants were trying to communicate with her because they led her a nice bed made from daffodils. Ever since she was thankful to plants and she had treated them with kindness. Joker kicked the large weed out of the way Ivy planted as a trap for the bat in case he showed up. "Noo!" Ivy's voice was drowned out by Harleys screeching. It hurt her heart for some reason. "What your friends with the plants too now?" He asked rolling his eyes as his henchmen chuckled walking by her crying on the ground. "It's just a single plant. The others haven't been touched." One of the henchmen named Jacknbox smiled. For some reason Ivy smiled at the genuine pain Harley felt for the plant. She was on the ground for a bit longer than expected. "Get up girl." Joker grimiest walking back and kicking her, but she was shaking. "Oops. Maybe that poison kicked a bit faster than expected." He chuckled. "Boys throw her body." He shrugged. "Boss I though what you said was a lie." Jacknbox scrunched his eyebrows. "I guess some lies can come true." He smiled. They did just what he said as Ivy watched the cruelty unravel. That man was pure evil. "It's sad though I thought this one...was gonna last longer." He sighed. Ivy wanted to torture that man to death. She knew rushing out there wouldn't be smart because of the bat who was on his way according to the whispers from the grass. So she followed the men toward the ocean on the pier, where she came from the darkness to stop them. "Put her down." She snarled. "Sorry plant lady bosses orders." One of them shrugged. "Peewee we should listen to her. Put her down." He grinned. Letting her body fall into the ocean. "Harley!!" She yelled rushing toward the pier. She slowly turned her body to look at them. They tried running away but her vines snuck up on them and pulled their bodies apart into pieces. She looked down to see the girls body floating down the river. She jumped in.
She swam toward her still shaking body. She was having seizure. She grabbed the girls body and swam her toward the shore. "Harley wake up." Ivy panicked. Harley's body stopped shaking and her breathing slowed a little to slow. Her pulse was fading. "No.no.no.no.no. Harley get up. Please." The redheads heart dropped. "Please." For years ivy hadn't shed a single tear until Harley's heart stopped beating.
Ivy grabbed her body and hugged her even if she was limp. The silent tears coming from the damp plants were loud. Harley's makeup was washed away, an idea pinged in the redheads mind. She had used it on her test subjects. She shared some of her blood with them, none actually had a good comparability. She wasn't turning them into plants just making them feel and hear what she felt, but the all screamed in agony and died from the poison she carried. Even though it was risky she still tried it.
She gently laid the girl down in the bed of grass they were on and used her nails to cut the skin on her finger and let out some of the blood. She cut Harley's finger gently enough for the girl to bleed and not get any venom in her system yet. She pressed her finger to the blonds. "Hopefully it would stabilise her." She spoke hopefully. She sat there with the girl hoping she would wake up, but she gave up after the sun had arose. She tried multiple ways to make sure her blood flowed through her veins, even if it meant she felt a bit weaker from the lack of blood she had. Laying in the sun would restore her. She was in the perfect spot with the water flowing between her toes.
The redhead teared up. A few of her vines rushed over to her with an antidote for her poison if she didn't wake up. She looked up at the suns rays. There was light coughing beside her. "Wh—where am I..." she looked over at Ivy. "Pretty girl?" She reached her hand out toward the the girls face. "Am I dreaming?" She asked more to herself. "Happy belated birthday." Ivy smiled uncomfortably taking a moment to realise the girl was awake thinking she was dreaming herself . "You remembered." Harley smiled. "You know I wish you were real." Ivy smiled. Harley's face scrunched up confused. "Have you been in the sun for to long?" The redhead couldn't believe her eyes. "Your...your alive?" She stuttered. "Yeah?" Harley perked up her left eyebrow. Ivy smiled brightly jumping on the girl and giving her a big hug. "Your not dead." She smiled.
"Why would I be?" Harley asked. "Forget it. I need to take you hom—I need to take you to my home." Ivy saved. "But I gotta get the antidote from Mr. J" Haley explained.
"I already gave you the antidote." Ivy smiled. "Though you may feel a craving for sunlight and water for the first two weeks." Harley perked her head to the side. "What do you mean?" Ivy sighed. "I gave you some of my blood." Harley looked scared for a moment realising nothing bad was happening. "So I'm part plant now?" Harley asked. "No...not that I know right now, but your immune to a few things." Ivy smiled. Harley smiled but looked down. "What's wrong?" Ivy asked. "The pain? It's gone." Harley sat there realising the pain she felt while sitting still went away, but one part of her body stung a bit, it was her stomach. "What pain?" Ivy scrunched her brows. "Don't worry. Just take me home." Harley jumped up. "Okay...but after I'm gonna kill that clown." Ivy growled. "Don't worry. After the same old routine, I cry, makeup sex." Ivy cringed at the words. "He leaves me for dead, I cry, he hits me when I don't listen. I'm...I'm done, nothing he says will save me this time, he's dead to me." Harley smiled standing up. "Yes. Finally!" Ivy smiled. "Now I need to—." Harley fell over. "Harl? Are you okay." Ivy rushed to her side. "Yeah I'm fine, just a little cramp." She smiled forcing herself up and holding her stomach. "Let me see. Sit down." Ivy grabbed her hand. Harley looked at her. "But what if the bat crew finds us out here?"
/
They had finally gotten to Ivy's hideout. Harley was smiling because she felt a bit better she felt stronger than usual and the whistling breeze had tiny echos of melody's. "Sit down Harl, let me check your stomach." Ivy grabbed the girls arm leading her toward the couch. "Don't worry it feels better." Harley smiled pulling her hand back.
"Nope your not doing this with me." Her vines crept up behind Harley wrapping around her and guiding her onto the couch. "Your the first human after years I can stand. Let me help." She lifted up the blondes shirt gasping at the sight. There were healed up wounds that scabbed up and bruises that surround them along side with purple bruises near her rib area. Ivy's eyes narrowed. "He did this didn't he?" Her voice was less darker than the time she kicked Harley out. "Red don't worry. Remember your the one who kicked me out."
"Your the one who wanted to leave in the first place by calling your "puddin" remember!" Pamela began to tear up from the memory.
"I'm..I'm sorry." Harley say how to hug her.
Sorry for the delayed updates I've been kinda busy with school work...
