ivy thought she had selina all figured
out , wrong. she hadn’t a clue what she
felt and selina wasn’t going to explain
it. threat fell on distracted ears , threats.
not empty to selina. —— ++
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
not looking at her anymore , eyes focused
on the window ahead .. then an annoyed
groan.
“̲ she was brought up as an example ,
ivy. don’t twist my words. ’̲’̲
—— ++
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
a sigh — there was no use attempting
to reason with harley. she would forever
have her ‘joker—rose—coloured—glasses’
on. no one could take them off.
“̲ only if you’re sure. ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀“ n─no .ᐟ no ... it's fine . ”
⠀going home without that cane
⠀is bad , not going home at
⠀all is another matter entirely ;
⠀he would come for her ─┈ &.
⠀selina by association .
⠀
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
there’s a nod from the feline , tucking
her whip into its holster. decorating her
person with weapons. ivy is free to take
her nettles and leave.
“̲ let’s not get sentimental now. ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
fake smile drops , genuine smile appears
in it’s place. gentle squeeze to the others
hand.
“̲ thank you , harls. if he gets mad..
call me , okay .ᐣ ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀her frown would grow into
⠀a meek smile ; it'd upset
⠀joker but selina has always
⠀been good to her ─┈ she
⠀practically owes this to her .
“ okay ... okay yeah , you
⠀ can have it , selina . ”
⠀
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
selina looks over her shoulder, not
allowing her expression to change.
it remained blank, despite being a
tad hurt.
“̲ poison ivy. i get it, i’m just not
harley, right .ᐣ ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
counting to five in her head. relax , selina.
a step is taken forward , hand snakes
over to hold harley’s own.
“̲ he just wants it to tease riddler.
i need it , honey. ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀“ but he really wants it ;
⠀⠀ he'll be super happy with
⠀⠀ me for getting it for him . ”
⠀after all , his gratification was
⠀all that really mattered to her .
⠀
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
god , selina would claw joker to d3ath
if it wouldn’t make harley upset , another
irritated groan before forcing a sweet
smile.
“̲ harls , sweetheart. joker doesn’t need
it. ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀oh this isn't good at all ;
⠀selina , one of harley's closest
⠀friends , was paid to steal the
⠀cane , and joker , harley's love
⠀and future husband , asked her
⠀to steal it for him .
⠀what to do .
⠀
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
the frown was upsetting to see , selina
wasn’t heartless. even if her expression
made it seem so.
“̲ i got paid a lot of money to steal it ,
harls. ’̲’̲
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀harley frowned ; she did not
⠀like to upset selina . she
⠀quickly closed the gap that
⠀selina created , reaching for
⠀her before thinking better of
⠀it and allowing hands to fall .
⠀
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
a scoff at the reply , mask is pulled
back over her features. turning away
from ivy to grab her things.
“̲ they are in the back room , friend. ’̲’̲
‘friend’ spoken , laced in sarcasm.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀the jester is racking through
⠀her mind for a specific item
⠀which may be important to
⠀selina . metallic claw against
⠀skin did sooth , and further
⠀confuse ; selina's body and
⠀actual language contrast .
⠀
