“Well, this is just embarrassing,” a voice says, low and full of disgust. “First female super-villain this sorry town’s seen since I last cracked my whip, and this is how she ends up.”
Ivy blinks up slowly at the figure standing over her. Slowly, slowly, everything’s slowed down these days. Everything’s frozen, and she’s always cold - Mr Freeze wasn’t kidding, he’s made her life hell since she wound up in Arkham.
He shouldn’t have trusted her in the first place, especially not with something as important as his popsicle of a bride. Ivy can’t be blamed for a woman’s whims, even when those whims involve murder.
A firm hand wraps around Ivy’s arm, drags her to her feet. The fingers gleam in the dim light of her cell, black and shiny.
Catwoman.
“Let’s get you out of here,” Catwoman says, looking like she’s already regretting the decision. Ivy starts laughing, doesn’t stop, even when Catwoman’s dragging her through the halls, throaty giggles bouncing off the ceiling.
At least Catwoman has the decency to seem impressed when Ivy takes down several guards with just a brush of her lips against theirs.
Catwoman, Selina, takes Ivy home. Cleans her up, washes her hair, and finds Ivy clothes that are glittery and figure-hugging and make Ivy feel real again. She doesn’t even complain when Ivy coaxes plants up through the cracks in the floor to add some colour to the drab abandoned building they’re holed up in.
“Gotham hasn’t been good to me,” Selina explains. “But I’m through with hiding.” She stretches across the floor, PVC creaking, legs impossibly long.
Ivy’s never been one to share the limelight with other women. Selina is enough to change her mind.
“You want my help, then?” Ivy asks. She even sounds more like herself, has rediscovered that haughty tone of voice.
Selina rolls over, stares Ivy down. “He doesn’t know how to deal with women,” she says, and Ivy understands she’s talking about Batman. “He doesn’t know how to deal with me.”
Ivy grins. “You take the Bat, I’ll take the Bird.” She’s had Robin in the palm of her hand once, it’ll be easy to achieve it again.
“And Batgirl?” Selina sneers around the name.
Ivy tosses her hair over her shoulder. “I’ve got a score to settle with that one.”
So they plan. Or Selina plans, and Ivy lounges, preening in front of her reflection in the cracked windows. Selina’s right, they’re better together. They’ll bring Gotham to its knees.
The fateful night comes, and Ivy wraps an arm around Selina’s waist. “How about a kiss for good luck?”
Selina snorts. “I’ve got one life left, I’m not wasting it on your poisonous lips.”
Ivy’s fingers dance over Selina’s hip. “Trust me, I’m worth it.”
Selina turns to look at the city, stretched out before them and helpless in the face of their wrath. “Ask me again when this is over.”
Ivy laughs, and they head into the night.
