What's the Answer?
Breakfast and Breakout
Harley stretched as she got out of bed. Wasn't the best sleep but it was still enough to recharge her batteries. The clown grabbed her clothes and walked across the way to the chemical shower, cleaning up as best she could, with some imp help who made sure to get her thighs buttox and breasts lathered up. After that, she dressed again with some help, the imps giving her little gropes or light touches that made her feel all tingly. Finally she started to make breakfast with heat provided by imp magic. It was only after two spoons of cereal and a sausage patty did her mind finally process the little figures around her.
"Oh. Right. You guys. Sorry hehe, takes a bit to get this Harley's motor running some days." Harley with a slight chuckle. The imps around her just shrugged as she went on, "So wait, you guys can leave the book at will? Like I don't need to tell you?"
"Yes we can. But if you call us, we are required to appear before you Boss Harley." Reya explained, her voice thick when she had to use the term 'boss'. "Usually we'll appear if we think we can help you. Don't worry, we're aware enough to keep our heads down when you're out and about with the book. Now, have you thought about what to do?" Reya asked as she leaned forward on the table.
"Oh that’s easy; play some games, watch a movie and just relax. Have a nice day to ourselves." Harley answered as she picked up the paper offered by Kat. She made sure to give the small imp a ruffle of her hair. Kat seemed to like head pats, wonder if she could get a deal to pay her that way.
Besides Kat who was grinning at at the attention, the other imps had a mixed of confusion in their eyes, and grumbling noises from their mouths. _"An expected and reasonable response." _Harley thought, as she just flipped the newspaper to a page before turning it towards the group. the group. The selected article featured a story about some new gemstones being displayed at a some sort of grand ball or opening high class ceremony. Said event was going to happen tonight if the story was correct.
"Been keeping an eye on this Gala for awhile now. Figured it'd be a good idea to have on radar as a just in case." the blonde said with a grin as she shoveled more cereal into her mouth.
"So we’ll be going after Catwoman then?" Allison asked, a shine appearing in her eyes and her mouth widening into a grin, "After all who else would be casing the place?"
"Sorry Allie, but no sorry Catty ain't joining yet. Though she or Mr Freeze will be going after them. Said rocks were dug up in the arctic, so he probably has an interest in them..., maybe Penguin too for that matter. Either or really, I don't rightly care but I'm sure someone will cause a ruckus." Harley stressed as she took another big bite of her sausage, washing it down with some coffee. "Oh hey Sammi this is really good brew thanks gal."
Sammi gave a big grin while Reya and Allison were thinking about this. Seemed the clown wasn't a complete fool. Which was good and bad but the bad part would have to wait for later. Reya cleared her thought to get attention.
"Ah. You aren't using the event to get rich. You're using it for cover then." Reya guessed to which Harley nodded her head.
"Yah gots it dame. Batty is probably going to be around to deal with whoever goes for the gems. Just gonna be another big rucks of a dustup of a brawl; lots of attention. And even if it's a silent night, most the cops will be in the area and might be slow on the draw. While Bats and the Cops are busy, we do my true goal, mwhahaahahah." Harley crackled as she brought up her hands, her fingers doing a little grasp motion to really sell the 'evil mastermind' image. Before she just picked up her cup and shook it towards Sammi who quickly refilled it.
"So if money isn't the the goal tonight..., who or what is?" Allison said as she started to make adjustments on her little mobile device.
"Easy. We get Red out from behind those Arkham Bars. I sweet talk her into making more juice to get more imps if we to. Maybe work with Dame here to get it to be more effective. No offense Allie." Harley said, patting the computer imp's head. Allison's face was flustered and red, her teeth grinding through the blush.
"Grrrrrrrriiiiiiiiight. I assume you have a plan for breaking someone out of Arkham. Mind you it doesn't seem that hard to do given that criminals and crooks always do so." Allison grwoled at her boss and gave a weak biting motion at Harely's hand as she pulled it away.
"Course I do. Always have them for breaking my bestie out. Just one question...," Harley shot a look at Sammi and Reya, that mad grin widening on her face, "How strong are the two of yah?"
Pamela Lillian Isley, Aka Posion Ivy, languished in her cell. Specially designed to be as unaccommodating to plant life as possible. She was allowed two potted plants but that was it. She'd have to earn the right to have some more green in her sterile white cell. The only thing of green besides herself was her view of the gardens below. A collection of trees, flowers and bushes; all beauties in their own right.
Ivy full well knew though that there were sensors in the garden that would turn the entire plot into a fireball if it sensed disturbiance in the roots. The staff at Arkham had learned from her last breakout. More a taunt to her these days.
_"Well, guess I can play nice for awhile." _Ivy thought to herself.
She'd only been in here for a week thus far and while a crime to seal a plant into a hole like this; it was always bright and clean. A far cry from the dirtier streets and buildings of the city. Honestly, she always thought if they threw in more green, better food and a few spa treatments; Arkham wasn't bad. Save for the smell, it was always different and always annoying. Currently there was a rather smokey odor in the air. Like something was burning.
"Perhaps Firefly got caught again... though they'd take him to Blackgate." She thought. Gotham didn't have many fire themed villains after all. Usually it was just a side gimmick or part of a plan rather than the main focus. "Oh well. Maybe they'll put him in Freeze's cell for a bit, cool him down." Ivy thought as she turned back to her potted plants.
"Hello!"
A voice called out to get Ivy's attention. A tiny but loud voice; as if coming from a speaker on the floor. In fact it sounded like it came from below her table. Ivy ducked her head to look and was greeted with a strange sight. A small figure made of smoke, connected to a trail of the stuff that came out of a small vent in the floor. The figure, clearly female with horns, gave a small wave.
"Heyah! Name's Sammi! You must be Ivy right? Hate to get the wrong person but there's not that many green red heads. Boss Harley sends her regards!" the little figure announced.
Ivy had to process this for a bit, her eyes widening. Harley was well known for her weird ideas but sending a little smoke..., thing to come and talk with her was a new one. And it HAD to be Harley, who else would do this just for her. The clownette must have found some weird item or meta with smoke powers to do this. Still, while strange it was a gift right now to her.
"Harley Quinn right? Clown woman, villain", blonde hair and black and red outfit?" Ivy asked hoping to get confirmation. She kept her voice low as not to attract attention. Ivy talking to her plants wasn't unheard of but she didn't want to risk having someone over hear.
"Yup YUP! She's actually right here next to me at the other side of this smoke trail..., but Boss Reya's magic doesn't work for her so can't really... hand over talking to her. She wants to know if..." the little figure named Sammi turned her head off to the side before gazing back at Ivy, "Blow this icicle stand! After all they never have her favorite sherbet."
Only Harley could get mad about that. At least she knew her friend was out there but how did this little figure work into things. And who was Reya? Questions for later.
"Why yes, I would love to leave but as Harley knows, Arkham prefers extended visits." She folded her arms as she started at the little woman, "So just how do you propose to get me out of here."
"Well..., we got two options; Loud or quiet. Personally I prefer loud myself but Harley said to let you have the choice." Sammi said, making sure she did a little flex when she said 'loud'.
Probably meant property destruction or fighting. Quiet however had it's own worries, mainly how it would work in the first place. Ivy had to make a choice here though.
Loud or Quiet, or some other idea?
