In the past few months ive become an unstoppable force and made a bigger name for myself then the joker. They called me the seductress, because i had the power to seduce men...right before i killed them. I wasnt a complete psychopath like joker just killing and doing stuff just because but when it came to our underground world of criminals and bad guys i was the most powerful. With a chain of clubs to make the "dirty money" clean which came from the 2 mobs i was now in charge of, the 3 drug empires i obtained and all while killing some of the guys to "inherit" their buisness', refilling it with people that i knew were absolutely terrified to cross me (because that was close enough to trust) and claiming it all as my own i made some usefull connections and befriended a few crooked cops, doctors and army men across the state.

Men were weak all it took was a flash of my leg and a wink and it was all mine. If you dont know what turning dirty money clean means, its when you have money thats from illegal activity that you mix in with money from your buisness thats clean money therefor making it all clean. It was all pretty easy and i easily had it all, with all the right people on my side- good guys and bad. Not only did i upgrade my buisness but also my weaponry. Instead of just using knives and whatever sharp object i could get my hands on i now had a whip that heald a sharp blade at the tip which can severly damage or potentially kill someone. Thats where ivy came in, she has a poison made from her precious plants she puts into my whip every few weeks that paralyzes my victims on contact. The thing is when it enters the blood stream, which it always does, it shuts down their organs including the heart and lungs which results in death.

Thats where i was headed now, i needed a refill and just girl talk which she somehow got me to enjoy, i wasnt much into talking about feelings and stuff but ivy was. Knocking on the door in a rhythymic tone i groaned when she took more then 5 seconds to open it and opened it myself.

"Honey im hoo- hoe what the fuck?" I begin teasingly but my happy demeanor is washed away when i see who ivy has sleeping on her mint green couch. Ivy quickly runs in panic on her face until she notices im looking at harley and she sighs.

"Dont come in screaming like that i thought there was an intruder, or something wrong" she pants with her hand on her chest. Was she nuts or blind?!

"Ivy there is something wrong, you have a intruding nutjob on your couch!... Yet you dont seem bothered, explain" i say pushing her towards the kitchen where she instantly goes over to her glass of water.

"We have to help her A, she really needs it and some girl time" she whispers softly and i freeze before shaking my head laughing.

"Im sorry could you repeat that it almost sound like you said 'we have to help...her'. Yuck dont make me say those words in that order ever again" i shiver but ivy pouts. "No ivy...no. Fuck no with a side of hell to the no" i snap opening up her fridge that had a few snacks and drinks i left over because i was not a vegan like her. All she ate was tofu and drunk water that probably why she was green cause she was sick of it.

"Hey where are your towels?" A new voice cuts in and my blood begins boiling. Did she not see the adults were talking she was nothing but a mere child who got caught with the wrong crowd trying to adapt all for a guy, how pathetic. Turning around with my most vicious glare but it instantly drops when my eyes land on her. She was covered in cuts, slashes, scrapes and tennis ball sized purple bruises that looked horrible on her pale pasty skin. Her hair was a tangled mess and her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

"What the hell-" i start but ivy just sends me a glare and i realize how rude im being. "What the hell, theyre right there in the bathroom how could you not see it" i cough and she nods meekly shuffling away. "Oh my! Ivy what happened?!" I whisper yell slapping her arm and she sighs.

"Joker happened. They were out for a night on the town a few weeks ago and batman came, of course, caught them locked them up in arkham, joker escaped in two weeks while leaving harley there she took to long for his liking to make her own escaped so he 'Taught her a lesson'. And it wasnt just physical i dont think this has been the first time, when she said he was teaching her a lesson it sounded rehearsed, like she heard it alot more" ivy says once we hear the shower turn on.

"Ok why is this our problem?" I ask confused. She couldve left multiple times im sure he wouldnt have chased her.

"I asked her why stay with him and all she says is 'My puddin loves me! Its my fault he was only trying to teach me a lesson.' Its wrong ashton so wrong. I watched many abusive relationships and could never do anything this is my chance besides...all she really has is joker in our world. Who else can she run to? The only other people she knows is doctors in arkham and im sure they dont want to be her friend" ivy huffs. "I found her on a street ready to die i couldnt let her go like that, i couldnt" she adds slamming her fist on the counter and i understand ivys rant. Her parents had a domestic violence relationship her dad very violent with her mom who was found bloody and beaten on a street when ivy was only 16. I notice how glossy ivys eyes has become and i hug her tightly.

"I understand ivy...ill help" i promise and she hugs me back just as tight and i hear her sniffle a thanks. She quickly pulls away wiping her face removing any trace of tears and turns towards the fridge.

"You hungry?" She ask in her usual chirpy voice and i scowl. Ivy ate about 3 to 5 things none of which i ate and had a strange way of cooking them.

"If youre offering me tofu hell no, im just going to order a pizza and wings" i laugh knowing the reaction id get out of her which is a angry unimpressed look.

As we all sit on the couch eating while watching some stupid girl movie...i think the notebook which harley and ivy are completely intrigued by while im repulsed.

"Dont you just love..love?" Harley squeals pulling the blanket closer up to her neck and i notice her wince probably still in pain. When she came out the shower i offered to brush and braid her hair, it was hard to watch her struggle because her arms had been to soar while ivy ordered us pizza.

"No. Love is just desire. Desire becomes surrender and surrender becomes power" i say taking a sip of my soda until i notice harley stairing at me intensly. "What?" I ask annoyed not prepared for the same speach again ivy gave me when i told her that.

"N-nothing its just...joker. He said that once before" she mumbles and i notice a dazed look in her eye replaced with fear. I remember back to the night him and i first met and i said that to him.

"Oh! its almost 8 i have to head to my club i have some buisness to handle." I say quickly changing the topic as i stand up. "Harley i didnt like you..like at all i actually hated you. Especially cause you were so weak and pathetic it was sickening" i begin to rant but ivy yells my name.

"No ivy its ok, you dont have to stop her puddin' calls me pathetic and worse stuff so it doesnt bother me" she says simply, as if thats normall. Ivy glares at me but i roll my eyes.

"Well i mean if you need an escape you know where to find us" i tell her with a smile before heading out of ivys loft and into my black lambo. Harley probably would go back to him, no she definately would so i just taught her one move to defend herself. I still didnt fully like her or trust her especially not after what was in the book i found in her office but i hated abuse more then her. She couldnt be helped unless she was ready to leave, and she wasnt ready at all.
