Us Against the World

Chapter Eleven: Happy Endings

When I woke up, I was laying on a bench in a jail cell. Damn. It was clean, so I'm guessing we're still in Metropolis. Harley was sitting next to me, silent.

I got up and asked her what was wrong. She looked at me.

"The Joker's dead, Ivy."

She smiled. She screeched a girly screech and attacked me with a kiss. Not that I'm complaining. When she pulled away we hugged but I asked "What happens now?"

"Well, I heard Batman and Superman saying that Supes wants us to stay in Metropolis, as long as we aren't criminals, but B-Man wants to bring us back to Arkham."

"Well, I hope he loses that argument."

She nods and we hold hands, waiting for them. It felt like decades had passed when they returned. Batman reluctantly opened the cell and said in his deep voice "You are allowed to stay in Metropolis, provided that you abandon you're identities as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy."

We both shout in joy and hug. Superman walks in and says "It looks like you guys get to stay. Want me to help you find a place? The apartment under mine is empty."

I run up and hug Superman, clearly making Harley and Batman confused. I'm shedding tears. Going soft is more like it.

"Thanks, Clark."

"Shush, shush, shush."

I chuckle and hold my hand out for Harley. She takes it and Superman leads us out. I see Harley stick her tongue out at Batman and I can't help but chuckle.

Before we go, Batman steps up and tells us, mainly Harley "If you're willing to take the trip, Lou and Bud are being held by the Wayne Foundation back in Gotham." Harley hugs Batman and starts begging me to take her back. I accept to get her to shut up, and truthfully, I kind of wanted them back myself.

Wow, Metropolis is going to be so different. I might just have to come back and tell you about our new lives here.

A/N: Ooohhh, a sequel? Maybe. Probably.
