Harley Quinn has posed:
Here she comes harley herself. She bounces into the place and looks around " PUMKIN! " she shouts out " ARE YOU HOME! " then she blinks " oh Alfred.. is he home " poor Alfred is holding his head, looking dazed and just nods slowly " Sowwy " she says looking sheepish.

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne comes in from the library dressed in slacks his dress shirt open. "Where you been Harls?" He asks curiously. "Got home and you weren't here, I was going to tell you something. But you're a bouncing ball of energy, what's up love?"

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley giggles and runs over and gives a big kiss and a hug to her man. Before hanging on his neck, totally forgetting for a moment, " What you gonna tell me what what ? " She says brightly As she jumps up fully expecting him to grab her so she can hang on him like a tiny teddy bear.

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne shakes his head as he catches you. "No no, you first Harls, where have you been and what's caused you to be a giddy bouncing ball of energy?" Bruce asks Harls again. "I hope you haven't done something you're not supposed to." Bruce says teasingly.

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle must have followed Harley in the front door, although she does like to make a more subtle entrance, sticking to the shadows and what not.

"Hmm.." she ponders aloud, arms folded loosely, a thoughtful, cautious expression on her face. "Only if you consider a vacation with me, Harles, Ivy and yourself a bad thing.." she purrs, stepping into the light.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Jumps off and shakes her head " noooo " she says shaking her head strongly " I wasn't bad.. I didn't shoot nobody.. I didn't kill nobody like I promised.. I went out for some fun in a bar.. Selina .. ah yeah that " She looks at bruce all hopful " We ran into ivy and we had this idea of going on vacation .. get away from gotham and all the influence and maybe you know have some de stress time all of us " she looks at him " We were thinking hawaii? so you can go back quick if you need too ? take the jet? "

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne blinks and baulks shaking his head Stepping back looking between the two. "Ran into Ivy, or planned to meet with her? The same Ivy I've told you repeatedly was a bad influence and no help? The same one who met with me and I told if she couldn't respect the life you had chosen to lead with me than she should probably keep her distance. The Ivy that used you for a Guinnea pig and lab rat, and had the audacity to compare me to Joker? That Ivy?" He asks his tone a cold mask of neutrality but any who know him would probably be able to tell this Is his I'm being calm to not cause a scene but what the hell voice.

"I thought I was clear to her that until we came to an agreement how to help you and the like best that she should remain away. And yet she comes to you anyway, before even trying to talk with me. Now tell me girls, how am I supposed to react to this? I do want the truth, and who's idea was this vacation, volunteering my time, and resources, I mean who brought it up?"

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle frowns, "Bumped into her, actually." her frown only deepens at his words however, sighing and shaking her head. "This must have been a conversation I missed, I didn't even know she was in town recently..Actually I haven't heard from her in a while."

As for whose idea it was, she shrugs, "It was all our ideas, honestly.." dark eyes narrow slightly on him, "I should remind you that we are not your children either.." her tone is gentle, but her gaze is hard.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley frowns a little too ' yeah, I was at the club and ran into Selina and then we bumped into ivy, actually" . She sighs " She didn't experiment on me all she did was make me immune to poison like her so I wouldn't get affected by her plants if you wanna get mad at somebody, get mad at joker he dropped me in a vat of mixed chemicals then gave me some strange other world injection, She was just trying to help me " .

     She sighs " Look you both love and I love both of you .. can't you get along? " She frowns " And Ivy was the one who helped me get over joker bruce.. how is that bad? If anything, she kept me from doing crazy shit " She sighs, "A lot of crazy shit. I was soo mad " .

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne shakes his head. "A psychopath helps no one get over anything Harley. And she did experiment on you, there was no guarantee what she was doing would work, nor that there wouldn't be any severe side effects." He growls. "If she loves you, she'd respect what you're trying to do here, and not try to undermine it or me." He steps back another two steps. "So no you'll never convince me that a multi time Arkham in ma

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne says, "inmate, actually helped you in any real way." Bruce looks to both. "And you're willing to go along with this craziness Selina? Willing to risk someone like Ivy pushing either or both of you backwards down a path you're both trying to leave?" He asks shaking his head. "But I guess I'm the bad guy because I'm making sense and looking at things from the logical side." Bruce shrugs. "The answer is no, we can't get along, because she clearly doesn't know how to, I extended an olive branch she refused to take it. So tell me why I should entertain this idea, why I should consider this, and not take any of the threats she made to me when we spoke and lock her back up. Give me a real, good and solid, logical reason.""

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle sighs, shaking her head. "I can see both sides of your arguments. But the fact remains that Ivy is in town and it is inevitable that we might run into her again. We cannot hide from her, and to be honest, we do have a lot of history.." she frowns at Bruce, "You know I don't like being kept on a short leash. I do what I want, as long as I'm keeping up our contract.."

She shrugs, stepping towards Bruce, resting a hand on his shoulder, "Look, whether you like it or not, Ivy will probably always be a part of Harley's life. Wouldn't you rather be there as a positive influence on her, in a place where she's trying to relax and not cause trouble?"

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Cocks her head " hey I'm a psychopath and I'm a multi-time Arkham inmate thank you very much or did ya forget " She cocks her head " She loves me and I love her.. okay " She huffs " We had a falling out, sure doesn't mean I still don't care for her .. or you " She rubs her forehead " This is what were talking about .. can't we all try and work it out together .. go somewhere not cold and just talk it out maybe have some nice drinks while were at it ? "

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne throws his hands up un frustration. "No Selina, that's the point isn't it. History, it's in the past, that's not the present or the future." He looks to the two of them. "And you both are trying to turn over a new leaf, live a better life, she's not. There is no other side to the argument. Ivy did what she wanted, experimented on Harley, without an actual thought to the possibility of something bad happening to her." He shrugs turning his back and sighing exasperatedly.

"Why can neither of you see that? Why can neither of you see what I'm doing is to protect us all, and what we have here." Bruce begins to pace as he thinks before turning back to Harley and raising his brow.

"She loves you, does she? Then why risk an experimental treatment on you that would never be sanctioned by the FDA? Why leave and bale out and leave you alone? Why accuse the man you love of being no better than the lunatic who dropped you in a vat of chemicals?" He turns and looks Harley in the eyes. "Take the belief she loves you out of the equation, because truthfully love means respecting the life you're trying to live and not attempting to upend it. But take that belief out I asked for a good and logical reason to entertain this notion, when she clearly doesn't want peace with me from her words and actions." Bruce asks looking between the two. "And neither of you answered about who it was that volunteered my resources, why, and what made you think, with how vocal I've been about Ivy that I'd even consider it? I want you to be happy, but Harls, you can't trust Ivy and neither can I." He sighs. "Now if you'd come home and said Selina, myself and you I'd be having the jet fueled now, but I need more to even consider allowing Ivy to come along."

Catwoman has posed:
Selina Kyle blinks slowly at Bruce's anger, taking a step back. Some of what he says makes sense but.."Huh, I get it, you're concerned..You don't want Ivy to threaten Harley's safety again.." she sighs and shrugs, "Sorry Harles, I knew it would be a bad idea..Maybe we should just have the three of us go on vacation.."

At the question of who volunteered his resources, she just gives Harley a pointed look, shaking her head slowly, "Well, I'm pretty beat, think I'll get some sleep..Take it easy you two.." She dips her head, then vanishes into the shadows, heading for bed..

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Blinks " I offered the plane .. they wanted to go coach and buy tickets " she says 'I even suggested she used her powers she said no she didn't wanna hurt innocents.. come on bruce you know she never hars innocents she only goes after the people who hrut the planet.. as for that shot do you really think the fda would give her a chance.. they give same level of chance you are " She says " none .. not even willing to entertain it.. I suggested the plane but I also said I had to ask you first.. so yeah I did think about you " She crosses her arms " I wanna help ivy like you helping me.. but your giving no flex her hun . You both want whats best for me maybe you can meet in the middle that's why I suggested the vacation get to know each other maybe we can work it out together all 3 of us in the same room not he said she said "

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne shakes his head. "The FDA won't give her a chance because she's an ecoterrorist. Doesn't harm innocents? Harls even those people who run those chemical plants and such are innocent often times. It's not them that falter on safety precautions, and what of their families who suffer and are harmed from losing them, even the corrupt? There is no way that she doesnt ever hurt an innocent love." He looks at Harley. "And that shot, it was a bad idea on her part and truthfully lacking in forethought or care, and reckless on yours for taking it. Come on at least try and see that much." Bruce shrugs his shoulders again sighing. "I don't believe she wants what's best for you or that she ever will. And she doesn't know me as Bruce Wayne, she only knows me as Batman, so another small flaw in your plan." He says with a shake of his head. "You can't help her the way I'm helping you, I offered her that option, she refused it flat out. She doesn't want to turn over a new leaf, you can't help those who don't want to be helped."

Harley Quinn has posed:
sighs ' I'm a murderer and a known terrorist as well, bruce.. nobody would give me a chance.. you did," She says, but she nods " Okay, if she doesn't wanna, that's fair, but I'm not gonna stop seeing her.. she saved me from the joker," She says softly " When he beat me and nearly killed me, she saved me ". She shrugs " I've injected worse into me, and when she did it we were both criminals hunted by you and others for that matter, I was dumped into a giant vat of who knows what chemicals my skins white for crying out loud ".

     " Your right the shot was a risk but at the time I didn't care and I'd do it again because I know she cared about me " . She rubs her cheek " I wanna help her. Maybe she won't accept your help but she might accept my help, and you're not fixing me or reforming me. Bruce, we have a deal. Your just also my boyfriend, and I don't wanna make you sad, if you think this is just reform, then " . she doesn't finish cause her eyes to start to tear up .

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne shakes his head stepping back sighing. "Yes that deal is no crime in Gotham, so hanging out with a criminal makes you look just as guilty." He says with a shrug. "She doesn't now and never did care about you or save you, you can say it all you want, you can believe it all you want, but its not true, she merely made you dependent upon her." He says with a huff. "Look she doesn't want the help, sometimes you need to realize when that's just not an option any more." Bruce states firmly. "And telling me you'd do it again, doesn't make me want to allow her anywhere near this house, or a vacation, makes me want to put her away more." He shrugs again. "This isn't just about rehabilitation, this is love mine for you, but Ivy needs to respect the lines or step back. I'm not going to have her destroy what we've accomplished and built. You promise me you won't allow that, promise me it here and now, you won't let her take you into any time of criminal scheme, you won't accompany her on any. And I'll give in I'll allow her to come on vacation with us and see if there's middle ground." He says pulling you close and kissing you lovingly. "I don't want you sad either, and don't ever think this isn't about me loving you."

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn Pushes into him and cuddles, kissing him again " Promise, she says? " looking at him, " I promise not to do anything in Gotham with her, okay " She says, " I won't let her pull me into any crime in Gotham.. I promise, " She says 'But I never promised you I wouldn't do crime.. I only promised not to kill anybody," She notes " But I haven't done any crime " She paused, " In Gotham cause, well you know, like I said, I didn't wanna make you sad " .

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne smiles and kisses you again holding you close to his chest. "No Harls don't let her pull you into anything at all anywhere. If you do it out of Gotham let it be on you, don't let Ivy influence you on that ok please?" He asks softly and sincerely.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn thinks " Okay my ideas only got it " She nods " I can deal with that " she says " does that work for you ? you know I'm still kinda a bad girl just not in gotham " She says " because of you " She kisses your nose .

Batman has posed:
Bruce Wayne smiles and nods. "I wouldn't want you to be any other way Harls." He says kissing you before picking you up and carrying you off toward the Master bedroom.
