Burbank

[ivy_lady]

She isn't home and it doesn't look like she has been for days. Breaking and entering is easy. It's just a standard condo in Burbank. Poison ivy doesn't even know who it belongs to outside of some member of the Titans and not even one she has an particular irritation towards other than the fact she works with people she hates. Harley seems to

The phone call comes and Bette gets in her car and drives down. There is a tightness in her stomach as she gets closer and closer.

When she arrives there are questions from the police and a few other technicalities and things like that. Once she finally enters the place she looks around and her stomach drops.

Why the hell would anyone steal her medals? It isn't like you can sell them anywhere... They're obviously what they are and they aren't easily salable at all. She sits in the middle of her living room, curled up.

It isn't until later that she notices that her degree is missing and the sinking feeling starts to turn into something else. That's when she starts to pull together her own investigation of the scene.

Harley picked up one of the medals and looks at it before trying it on. This seemed...odd. Taking on someone else's life.

They had left Burbank and had holed up in yet another suite. Ivy was out on the balcony and Harley went out to join her, jumping up on the edge to walk along the edge.

"Red? You promised to tell me. Just what is this all about?"

[ivy_lady]

She's holding herself a little. The ring still feels like dead weight on her finger. The fresh air helps, but not nearly enough.

"Where do I start?"

[_harley_quinn_]

"Somewhere near the beginning would be nice, Red. And I don't mean "One day a Mommy Poison Ivy met a Daddy Poison Ivy and got along." I've done a hell of a lot of things in my day but stealing someone's life? That's just creepy. And it's not like that Elvira chick, Dark Angel, whatever he name is, gave us a reason to trust her."

Harley carefully did a handstand on the edge, keeping her balance. Flamebird isn't the only one into sports. She wondered if she fooled around long enough would some idiot on the street think she was going to jump. It was so much fun scaring the mundanes!

Ivy notices. Suddenly it occurrs to her that Dark Angel's idea is to replace one cute blonde for another. Who is she filling in for, she wonders.

"I need samples from the Flash. This seems the best way to get through the other heroes in order to get those samples."

to anyone other than Harley, it would have sounded matter of fact, almost dismissive. Harley, of course, is much better at these things than anyone gives her credit for.

"Besides, that junior Batman has broken your bones and dumped you into Arkham. Don't you want a little back?!"

The glimmer she saw was silver, not the white gold or platinum she initally thought, but at least the emerald was what she expected.

And this Dark Angel lady better be right about it being better to leave that pathetic excuse of a woman alive. I still am going to break her neck for shredding me like that. Logan was bad enough flying solo...

She's still healing up on the trip to Burbank, the wounds looking ugly but healing fast. The necklace is clutched in her hand.

One "Professor Isley" at twelve o' clock. She leaps off the floating rock and walks. No one's gonna look twice at the ripped toga look. It's LA. However, the Titans are gonna be pissed. They take stuff like what she did in the park so personally. Saps still hadn't changed their MO much.

She's standing in an alleyway as they approach. "Hey, you're the lady Dark Angel wanted me to see? Got the trophy. Where's the payoff?"

[ivy_lady]

Ivy turns to the newcomer. She both relieved and disappointed that someone just interrupted that conversation.

"Yes, I am. I saw you in the vision she presented. Terra, I presume?"

[jla_extras]

"Yeah. I'm Terra. Got the trinket I was supposed to nab from Change -" She stops herself. "That's right, idiot went back to Beast Boy. Anyway, I nabbed a necklace from his girlfriend. Might get a good price hawking it, but I heard Dark Angel's got plans to screw the Titans good, and that you're who I talk to. She blowing smoke or not?"

[ivy_lady]

"No. She's most certianly not. May I see it?"

The ring already feels different. More powerful.
