The next morning, they were all gathering for breakfast. There was a knock on Harley's door.

"Come in" she said.

The door opened and a familiar deep voice said "Quinn?"

Harley froze in the middle of putting on her lipstick and poked her head out of the bathroom. Batman was standing in her room by her bed.

"Just a minute" she said as she stepped back into the bathroom.

She finished putting her lipstick on and grabbed her mesh sleeves and gloves and began to put them on as she walked out of the bathroom.

"What's on ya mind Bats?" Harley asked.

"I want to apologize for how I've treated you since you joined the league" he said.

"Really?" Harley asked.

"Yes" he said as he held his hand out.

Harley shook his head and said "apology accepted."

"Good" he said "now, the breakfast line is going to grow longer every second."

"Let's go eat then" Harley said as she walked out the door.

Batman followed.

"Did you actually apologize to someone?" Ivy asked.

Batman saw her leaning against the wall smiling.

"Don't get used to it" he said.

When they got to the cafeteria and got breakfast, Batman actually sat with Harley and Ivy.

"When will the pen for Bud and Lou be finished?" Harley asked.

"By tonight" Batman said.

"How do ya do it so fast? The greenhouse in a night and a zoo habitat in two days?"

"We have a lot of resources and a lot of people owe us favors."

"Awesome" Harley said.

Suddenly the alarm went off. Everyone rushed to the computer room.

"I don't believe it" Superman said.

"What?" Ivy asked.

"Captain Cold, Killer Frost and Mr. Freeze seem to have combined forces in Gotham" Superman said.

"Why?" Flash asked.

Batman patched a line through Commissioner Gordon and asked "What's going on? We heard Mr. Freeze, Killer Frost and Captain Cold are working together."

"They are going to freeze Gotham into another ice age unless they are given one hundred million dollars" Commissioner Gordon said.

"Or unless we stop them" Batman said "we will be there as fast as we can."

He shut off the communication.

Superman turned around and said "Everyone gear up, get ready and be at the teleporter ASAP."

Everyone immediately scattered to different parts of the Watch Tower to get what they needed for the mission. Harley and Ivy were one of the first ones back. Ivy had several seeds and pollens with several vines wrapped around her arms. Harley had her .357 on her belt with ammo all the way around it, her hammer and her sawed off shotgun in a holder on her back. Everyone else came in a few minutes later.

"Why do you have a shotgun, Harley?" Batman asked.

"It's a lip loosener and an ice breaker" Harley said smiling.

They all teleported to Gotham. When they arrived, Killer Frost ran one way as Captain Cold and Mr. Freeze ran another.

"I'll take Killer Frost" Batman said "the rest of you go after the other two."

Flash looked at him and said "But you need-"

"Go!" Batman interrupted.

They all began running after Mr. Freeze and Captain Cold. Harley stopped and looked back at Batman running after Killer Frost alone. She set her Hammer down, pulled out the shotgun and ran after Batman and Killer Frost.

Batman caught up to Killer Frost. She spun around and tried to kick him. Batman dropped to his knees and slid under her leg, avoiding the kick. He stood up, turned around and immediately found Killer Frost's hands around his neck. His neck began to turn blue and his breath began to fog.

"I'm going to be the one to finally take down the Bat" she said.

She felt something hit her in the head and heard someone say "hey Frosty!"

She turned her head and found herself staring down the barrels of a shotgun.

She looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes that were burning with anger.

"Let 'im go or lose your head" Harley said.

"YOU are defending the Bat?" Frost asked.

"I said let 'im go!" Harley said as insanity began flashing in her eyes.

"You won't shoot me" Frost said.

"Ya wanna bet?!" Harley asked "ya see the seven notches on the stock? Wanna be numbah eight?"

Frost just glared at her and increased the freeze on Batman's neck. Harley's eyes widened and an unnatural grin spread across her face as her head tilted slightly.

"Ok" she said "I'll have 'em put numbah eight on ya headstone."

She put the shotgun's stock to her shoulder.

"OK! OK!" Frost said as she let go of Batman "take me to jail, just get this murdering psycho away from me!"

Harley hit her in the face with the shotgun, knocking her out cold.

"Harley" Batman said "I…you…but-"

"You're welcome" Harley said.

She put the shotgun back in the holder on her back. She reached down and picked Frost up by the shoulder and handed her to Batman.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

Harley smiled and said "ya don't want it to get out that big bad Batsey was saved by little ol' Harley do ya?"

She grabbed her hammer and ran back to the others. Batman just stared at her. Harley Quinn, the attention loving Harley Quinn, just hid the fact she took down a supervillain and saved his life to protect his reputation. He quickly shook his head and regathered his thoughts. He cuffed Frost.

"J'onn" Batman said "bring Killer Frost up and put her in a holding cell."

The teleporter activated and Killer Frost disappeared. Batman ran back to join the fight with the others. He saw Captain Cold on fighting most of the League. Mr. Freeze was still fighting Harley, Ivy and Canary. Harley spun around with her hammer a few times and let it go, sending it flying at Mr. Freeze. He stumbled back, barley avoiding the huge mallet. He glared at Harley and raised his gun. Harley reached for her revolver. Mr. Freeze shot her hand as she grabbed the revolver. Freezing her hand to revolver and trapping it at her side. Harley began trying to pull her hand away from the gun and holster, but it was stuck. She reached behind her back with her left hand and pulled out the shotgun. Mr. Freeze immediately froze the shotgun and her hand.

"Too easy" he said.

"It would be Mistah Freeze, if it weren't for the fact that I was just the distraction" Harley said.

Suddenly several vines wrapped around his gun and bent the barrel as he was hit with Canary's sonic screech, sending him flying into a building. Captain Cold froze the ground around him, causing most of the heroes to fall. Flash slid on the ice, straight towards Harley.

Harley's eyes widened as she said "this is gonna hurt."

Flash ran into her and they both went toppling into a wall.

"Are you ok?" Flash asked as he stood up.

"Yeah, I've had worse" Harley said "can ya break the ice?"

"I thought you'd never ask" Flash said "but this isn't the time or place to get acquainted."

"I mean the ice on my hands" Harley said.

"Oh" Flash said "sure."

He put his hands on the ice on her left hand and began to move his hands with the speed force. The ice cracked and broke. He freed her other hand too.

"Thanks Flashy" Harley said.

She kissed his cheek and jumped to her feet. Flash rubbed his cheek where Harley kissed him and smiled.

"FLASH!" Batman yelled.

Flash shook his head and jumped to his feet and charged Captain Cold. Soon Captain cold was unconscious on the ground.

"OK" Superman said "let's go home."

They were all teleported back to the Watch Tower.

"Great job taking down Killer Frost alone, Bats" Flash said.

"I actually didn't" he said "it was…it was Harley. Frost had me until Harley came over with her shotgun and saved me."

Everyone just looked at him.

"Really?" Superman asked.

"Yes" Batman said.

"Great job Harley" Superman said.

"Thanks Supes" Harley said "I gotta go clean my guns. They got frozen in ice and that ain't good for 'em."

"Ok" Superman said.

Harley walked to her room with her hammer.

Superman walked over to Batman and said "I saw what happened Bruce, I honestly didn't think you would admit it."

Batman walked to Harley's room and knocked on the door.

"Come on in" Harley said.

Batman pushed the button and the door opened. Harley was sitting on the bed cleaning her revolver. Ivy was sitting next to her cleaning the shotgun.

"What's up B Man?" Harley asked.

"I wanted to thank you for saving me" Batman said.

"No biggie" Harley said.

"Yes biggie" he said "after all I've done to you and how I've treated you, you still saved me."

"It's what heroes do. I think, I'm still pretty new to the hero game" Harley said.

Batman nodded and walked away. Harley finished cleaning the revolver. She loaded it, spun the chamber and put it in the holster. Ivy finished cleaning the shotgun and put it down on the bed.

"You actually saved the Bat?" Ivy asked.

"Yeah" Harley said "I threatened to blow Frost's head off if she didn't let Bats go."

"Wow, would you do that for me?" Ivy asked.

"If she tried to kill ya, I woulda just splattered her brains everywhere. No warnin', no second chance" Harley said.

Ivy just smiled at her. There was another knock on the door.

"Come in" Harley said.

Batman stepped in again and said "the habitat for your hyenas is done, you can move them whenever you're ready."

"C'mon Red" Harley said "let's go move Bud and Lou to their new place."

"Ok" Ivy said "lead the way."

Harley jumped up, grabbed Ivy's wrist and began pulling her towards the holding cell where the hyenas were. They walked in and the hyenas immediately stood up and began pawing at the barrier.

"Calm down boys" Harley said.

They hyenas obeyed and sat down.

"I'll get the door" Ivy said.

She pushed the button and the door opened.

"C'mon babies" Harley said "Mama has a surprise for ya."

She led them to Batman, who was waiting by her room. He led them to the new habitat. They walked in and Harley and Ivy began to look around. Lou rubbed against Harley's leg.

She looked down and said "welcome to your new home boys, go explore and play."

They both ran off into the habitat.

"What do you think?" Batman asked.

"It's amazin'" Harley said.

"Why is there a bed in here though?" Ivy asked.

"You told me sometimes Harley likes to let them sleep in her bed with her" Batman said "we decided it would be better for her to sleep in here occasionally rather than the hyenas sleep in her room."

"Cool" Harley said.

"Well" Batman said "we should let them get settled in. Besides it's time for lunch."

"Awesome" Harley said "I'm starvin'!"

"Let's go then" Ivy said.

After lunch, Harley decided to hit the gym. She was on the new balance beam when Flash and Green Arrow walked in. When they saw her, she was doing a handstand while doing a split in the air.

"Wow" Flash said.

Harley looked up at them, she pushed off from the hand stand. She did a front flip and landed perfectly in front of them.

"All yours boys" she said as she started to leave.

"You don't have to go" Flash said.

"I think I do" she said "ya came in here to work out, not for a show. Have fun."

She walked out of the gym and ran into Hawkgirl.

"Hey" Harley said "how do ya put up with Flash starin' at ya all the time?"

"Ignore him" she said as she walked away.

Harley shrugged and walked to her room. Ivy opened Harley's door and walked in. Harley had a .45 pistol completely taken apart on her bed, cleaning it.

She looked up and said "hey Red, what's up?"

"Just wanted to see what you were up to" Ivy said "I heard you left the gym when Flash came in and saw you on the balance beam."

"Yeah" Harley said "is he hittin' on ya too?"

"Yes" Ivy said "even though I told him I could easily poison him just by touching him."

"Yeah, he seems like a guy who can't take a hint" Harley said.

"Well, it's almost dinner time" Ivy said.

"Ok" Harley said "just a sec."

Harley quickly reassembled the .45.

"It still amazes me how fast you can do that" Ivy said.

"Practice" Harley said "let's go grab some grub."

Later that night, Ivy saw Harley walking towards the Hyenas' habitat without her makeup and face paint. Wearing a red tank top and baggy black shorts.

"Sleeping with the hyenas tonight?" Ivy asked.

"Yup" Harley said "ya wanna come?"

"No" Ivy said "you go ahead."

"Alright" Harley said "see ya in the mornin'."

"Night Harl" Ivy said as she waked to her room.

The next morning, Ivy woke up, stretched and got dressed and knocked on Harley's door and said "breakfast time Harl."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Harley said walking up behind her, still in her pajamas "gimmie ten minutes."

She walked into her room and closed the door. She came out ten minutes later in her costume, face paint and makeup. They walked to the cafeteria for breakfast. They got their food and sat down with Green Arrow and Black Canary. A different alarm than usual went off.

"What does that alarm mean?" Ivy asked.

"Just means someone is contacting us" Arrow said.

Batman and Superman left for the Computer room with Martian Man Hunter. They opened the com link to see who was calling and Robin appeared on the screen.

"What is it Robin?" Batman asked.

"We need help Bruce" Robin said "the Titans are in over our heads with Slade right now."

"We will send someone" Batman said.

"Thanks" Robin said "Robin out."

The communicator shut off.

"Whose turn is it?" Superman asked.

"Why don't we send the rookies?" Batman asked.

"Harley and Ivy?" Superman asked.

"Yes" Batman said "we'll tell them after breakfast."

Later that Afternoon, Harley was in the gym and Ivy was in her greenhouse.

"Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, please come to the meeting room" Batman said on the intercom.

A few minutes later, Harley and Ivy walked into the meeting room. They were met by Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

"What's goin' on?" Harley asked.

"Pack your gear, costumes and anything you need for a week or so."

"Are wo going somewhere?" Ivy asked.

"Yes" Wonder Woman said "we are sending you to Jump City to assist the Teen Titans."

"Ya mean Bird Boy and his friends?" Harley asked

"Robin" Batman corrected "and yes."

"What are they having trouble with?" Ivy asked.

"Slade Wilson" Batman said.

"Deathstroke?!" Harley yelled "You're lettin' a bunch of kids fight Deathstroke?!"

"Calm down" Batman said "they can usually defeat him. Right now they just need a little help, that is why we are sending you two. We will send you as soon as you are ready. Check in with us regularly, and don't let your past with Robin interfere."

"Alright" Harley said.

"Give us some time to get ready" Ivy said.

"Very well" Batman said "meet us at the teleporters when you are ready."

Next time: Harley and Ivy meet the Teen Titans
