Harley’s new mission was now to help her best girl feel better. She couldn’t imagine how awful it must be, being cut off like that. It wasn’t the same as having a superpower blocked or a weapon taken away, this place literally cut off a part of her and just like the first time around, Harley was still mad about it.

“I dunno if ya remember… last time I told ya I got a plant ‘cuz I missed ya. I still got it, I remembered to water it an’ everythin’!” She looked proud of herself; for one, yes it was still alive and hopefully happily thriving by her window in her bedroom– somewhere where the Joker was not allowed and he couldn’t kill it either. 

“I know, Red. An’ I love ya, ya know that right? C’mon!” She stood again, taking Ivy’s hands with her own and pulling her to her feet too. “Let’s do somethin’ fun like we used to!” She hoped a distraction might help her feel a little better.

“Wow, look at you. I’d almost think you’re a functioning adult.” She teased, though let out a bit of a yelp as she’s pulled to her feet. She couldn’t help it. Pam would never get used to Harley being so good at getting her out of a slump. She smiled, unable to suppress her snicker at the idea.

...It’d been a long time since she saw this place. 

One second she was looking at some garden in Isola and the next she was sitting on the sofa here in the place Selina had built for them. It was nostalgic, really. Looking at it all, back before she had so many... issues, herself. Still, it also hurt, even as she watched what had to be a figment of her imagination, Selina, in the kitchen making coffee. 

However, when her eyes stopped on Harley, the look in the other’s eyes told her that maybe it wasn’t all a dream. At least, Harley might not be.

She could tell she wasn’t happy about it, just like she knew she wouldn’t be. Harley herself still wasn’t happy about it either but she really had taken one for the team here… and if there was one thing you could count on, it was that she’d see this through, for however long that may be.

“Yeah, promise!” And she meant it too, she had a feeling it was going to be different this time. She only hoped that she was right. “I know… but it’s okay. Ya trust me, don’tcha?” Now that she’d released a little of that pent up anger, she offered her best girl a smile. “I missed ya… I didn’t know if ya were gonna come back. I think I’d go crazy here without ya…” 

Speaking of Ivy’s return, however, Harley remembered how she was cut off from the Green the first time around. She wondered if it was the same this time too. Diverting the subject from herself to Ivy instead, she asked, “Are ya… you know, cut off? Like last time?”

“I’m afraid so.” 

Ivy knew continuing with pressuring Harley wouldn’t do any good. At the very least, now she could keep the conversation going without upsetting her. It didn’t surprise her, of course, that she was without her connection once more upon coming here. It, however, did not make it feel any better either. 

Pamela felt, for lack of a better word, alone. Even with Harley right here before her.

“Still, you know I’ll always be here for you, Harley. Even if I did... just kind of disappear for a bit.”

“¡This is terrible for all of us!”

“¡I woke up thinking i had slept through the entire day, and I don’t sleep at all, amiga!”
