     Selina smirked softly as she looked over at Pam. No wonder her friend had walked in with so much confidence; she knew that this was an offer that the cat would never refuse. “They do, don’t they?” she grinned. “Oh, that’s almost the best part, Pam. Almost” The diamonds were the best part, but there was definitely a satisfaction that was unmatched in taking from the rich. “Oh, for sure. There’s dives like this everywhere and me? I’m so charming that they hire me without really asking any questions, so” the cat gave a light shrug. “Is Harley coming?” It was fine if not, but Selina wouldn’t deny that it would have been nostalgic to reunite the Gotham City Sirens. 

-

Pam chuckled softly as the other woman spoke. She knew which part of the whole process was Selina’s favorite, and she couldn’t blame her for it. Selina was good at what she did -- a combination of natural intellect and talent, plus a certain undeniable dedication. It was admirable, and this came from someone who didn’t admire others easily. “I haven’t asked her, but I’m sure she would be up for it,” she said. “You know she’s always ready to cause a little chaos and have some fun.”

Carol nodded slowly while she listened to Pam speak. Coming to this world, it was a crash course in kinds of activism she didn’t even know existed. Meta humans, mutants…plant people. The most out of the ordinary thing Carol had had to deal with in her former world was aliens…but villains…no Pam wasn’t a villain, not when she had seen the likes of Mar-Vell and Thanos.  People like Pamela Isley saw the world differently from her, from most people, but she understood what it was like to feel like your worldview was constantly banging up against the standard moral code.  “Look…Pamela, can I call you Pam? Ivy? Whatever’s most comfortable. I get what it’s like to be fighting for something that almost everyone thinks is insane. I know you see me as just another brash, dramatic hero intent on ruining your life’s work. But from what I can tell you’re a genius, like one of the most brilliant scientists in the world. Why does saving the environment have to involve hurting people?” 

-

Pam shrugged her shoulders delicately. “I don’t think it does,” she said. “But it’s not always up to me. Actually, it really never is. I personally don’t understand why they can’t just leave me to tend to the Green in peace.” She gave another shrug. “People need less of this earth than they think they do, but they want all of it. They’re greedy. They take and they take, and they don’t give back. That’s the problem. If they gave back, if there was some sort of balance…”

That wasn’t strictly true. Pam believed that the Earth would do far better without humanity staining it, but she was careful about who she revealed that plan to -- some simply didn’t care, like Crane, and a few agreed with her. Some, like Harleen, were simply happy just to let her go on her merry way. But she didn’t think the woman in front of her fell into any of those categories.

She looked over at her, a faint smile on her lips. “But you’re right, I am a genius,” she said. “And you would think that would mean people listen to me, but that’s hardly ever true. Especially if men are involved.” Another faint smile graced her features. “I’m sure you’ve noticed, being a powerful woman doesn’t really mean a damn thing to men who think they’re powerful.”

“That’s a hyena.” Theo observed with a note of humor to his tone. He shouldn’t be shocked though, this was New York City. The premiere destination for weird shit. Hyena was hardly the worst of it (like boyfriend’s coming back from the dead but naw he didn’t wanna think about that). “No petting, got it.” He nodded, before looking up at the woman. “Hey you hang around my sister’s bar sometimes, don’t you?” A whip of coldness sunk into his chest, he hadn’t meant to say sister. It slipped. “I mean…” Now he felt SHEEPISH. “Barbara.”

-

“Yes, very good,” Pam said dryly, snapping her fingers and summoning the hyena back to her side, though she didn’t feel particularly confident about him remaining there. Not that it mattered to her very much if he did -- she could only hope Harley wouldn’t be put out. She didn’t really know if there was a feeding schedule or not. Pam raised an eyebrow as the young man spoke. “Do I?” she said. “I don’t--” And then he slipped up further, and she tilted her head, studying him. “Barbara Kean?” she said. “I wasn’t aware she had a brother. Is she?”

         Rick wasn’t exactly against the idea. There had been a time or two, not that anyone knew, that Rick had thought about going after her on his own. Those ideas always dissipated somewhere in the back of his mind, buried underneath the rest of his desires. “One touch is asking a lot when it comes to Waller.” It was rare that anyone, if ever, got close to the woman. 

-

Pam shrugged as he spoke. “I have never tried before,” she pointed out. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be a touch, I just…” She trailed off and smiled, though the expression held very little warmth. If anything, it was reminiscent of a wolf. “I think I would enjoy watching the life fade from her eyes.” She shrugged and smiled again. “Call me sentimental.”

     “There is” she couldn’t deny that, but it did seem out of character for the redhead. Harley was always more for casual drop ins. “Oh?” Now that caught her attention. She abandoned the cloth, moving to press her palms to the bar as she listened intently. “Well…diamonds are a girl’s best friend” she smirked widely. Selina knew that Pam cared more about the environmental damage than the jewels but tomato, tomato. “I’m in. This place really isn’t worth it” Not even for the watches that she was managing to slip into her pockets. 

-

A smirk touched Pam’s lips as Selina responded to her proposition just as she suspected she would. She hadn’t doubted that Selina would be interested -- the cat did love her diamonds, after all -- but it was still pleasant to hear her express that interest. She normally didn’t enjoy working with partners, but Selina was an exception. And if she could give Selina something she wanted now, maybe Selina would return the favor if the opportunity came around. “They are,” she agreed, with a faint smile. “And they do suit you.” She smiled again. “Not to mention there’s nothing wrong with discomfiting the rich, now is there?” Pam chuckled faintly. “In any case, I’m sure there are plenty of places like this in the city. For you to fall back on between jobs.”

       Jonathan looked up as Pamela called his name. He offered her a small nod instead of the polite smile that most people did. Jon wasn’t much of a smiler and he was sure that when he did smile it wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing facial expression he made. “Hello, Dr. Isley.” He greeted. “Is that what this? A date? I didn’t realize.” Jonathan wasn’t much for asking anyone to dinner, especially not for a date. “I need your help with testing for my new compound. I know you’re immune, but that’s exactly why I need you to be in the testing chamber.”

-

A faint smile touched Pam’s lips. “It’s just a figure of speech,” she said. “A date isn’t necessarily romantic.” Thank god. Harley was the only person she’d had romantic feelings for in a very long time and frankly she wanted to keep it that way. She raised an eyebrow as he spoke. “Oh?” she said. “Interesting.” She tilted her head. “Are there any perks for helping you?” she said, her lip curling into a smirk. “Or am I just supposed to be offering my time in the interest of science?”

Carol crossed her arms, trying to think of the best way to move forward. Pam had a point, and to be completely fair she didn’t actually want to hurt her plants. Honestly she was more impressed than anything else with the way the vines and flowers twisted and moved with her.  Carol’s eyes narrowed, “You haven’t given me anything to fight you over yet but I don’t take to threats lightly.” 

-

Pam shrugged, though she appeared mildly amused. “No,” she agreed. “Another way in which you’re similar to your heroic peers. You’re so very sensitive. Every promise or warning is a threat.” She gave a dry chuckle. “Maybe a better word is dramatic. Although I suppose I could be a bit of a hypocrite in that case. But at times melodrama is the only way people will listen.”

She shrugged. “You know, I only really want one thing,” she said. “To protect the environment that is so often ravaged by selfish human beings hell-bent on pursuing their own ends. If I have to be…ruthless to achieve that goal, I won’t apologize for that or change my mind.”

     “Far more than are likely to notice” Selina smirked gently. “You certainly can, but given how long I’ve known you and how many times you’ve dropped in just to talk…it makes me think that there might be something specific that you wanted to talk about” she shrugged gently, grabbing a cloth to wipe down the bar. As long as she looked busy she wouldn’t be bothered and she was far more interested in Pamela now that she had gotten what she’d come here for tonight. 

-

Pam smiled faintly and shrugged. “There’s a first time for everything,” she pointed out dryly. “Although I do have to admit, I have a little…project that I think you may find interesting.” She leaned against the bar as Selina began to wipe it down. “There’s a certain mining company which is happily destroying the environment in pursuit of diamonds,” she said.  “Which they happen to ferry to their headquarters here in the city. I felt it was an opportunity for both of us to get what we want.”

Harley smirked winking at the other “I’ll take that as a compliment Red after all someone has to color this world in” She mused before smiling softly. She loved it when Pam teased her if anything it made her heart beat just a bit faster at the fact she could see different side of the beautiful woman. “True, You know I just get so excited and the voices just all start screaming!” She mused before shaking her head pouting “No Pammy, I’m not going anywhere I plan on staying for awhile…unless you get board of me” she blushed lightly at being so close to the other it’d been years so it seem that she’d had the time to do this. “Of course I do red, your my girl learning everything I can about you brings me pure please” she purred at the other smiling “Yes, I quite excited, it’s been forever since we’ve had the change to go out.”

-

Pam smiled softly as the other woman spoke. “Oh, it was definitely a compliment, darling,” she assured her, taking Harley’s face gently between her hands and kissing her forehead. She kept a hand against Harley’s cheek. “Well, if those voices get too loud, you can always talk to me,” she said. “I’ll take care of you.” She smiled a little and shook her head. “I sincerely doubt anyone could ever get bored of you,” she murmured. “I certainly never could.” A soft chuckle fell from Pam’s lips as the woman spoke. “Aren’t you sweet?” she said lightly. She chuckled. “Yes, it’s been far too long,” she said. “Do we need to put food out for your little pets before we go?”

Carol stood up from lacing up her sneakers.  “So, you really wanna train with a super human.” She laughed, “Gutsy, I can appreciate it.”  Carol let herself float a few inches off the ground and did a lap around the parking lot. “You still need to warm up? Cause I’m ready to rock.” 

-

Pam rolled her eyes as the woman spoke, glancing over at her. “I would much prefer it if you simply left me alone,” she said. “But super humans like you tend to have a problem with the activities I get up to when left to my own devices. Evidently many of you have rather dull notions of right and wrong.”

She frowned at her. “I know what you do,” she said. She called on the plants beneath her to form supports beneath her feet, lifting her up to the same level as Carol. “And if you hurt my plants, I would be very upset. It’s not easy to predict what I’d do when I get very upset.” She smiled serenely. “But I can assure you, it wouldn’t be pleasant.”

     “Can’t you see that I’m working here?” Selina sighed as a body blocked her from making it to the table she’d been headed towards, a tray of drinks balanced carefully in her hand. “I’ll meet you over at the bar but I have to run this, okay?” she sighed, nodding gently towards the tray before she wove around them. Selina doubted that it was anything that couldn’t wait, but she could use a break anyways. A few minutes passed and eventually she approached the bar, raising her brows. “What is it?”

@assemblestarter​ 

-

Pam raised an eyebrow at the tray in Selina’s hands. “So how many of your clients tonight are missing certain sparkling items?” she said softly, a touch of amusement coming to her tone. She doubted Selina was just slinging drinks for the hell of it, or a little bit of extra cash. Pam perched on a bar stool as Selina instructed, a smirk touching her lips as the woman spoke. “I can’t just drop in on an old friend?”

“No, it’s not something I make a habit of.” Morgan admitted, grimacing at the question. It was born out of concern, she knew, That being acknowledged, she didn’t like to be pointed on her bad nasty habits. “It’s just been a tough week is all.” / @assemblestarter​​

“Give me that,” Pam snapped, snatching the cigarette from the young woman’s fingers. “I don’t particularly care how your week went. I doubt anything you dealt with could outweigh what one of these little monsters does to the environment.” She gave the younger woman a sharp look. “I suppose you never even considered that. Most people don’t.” She shrugged. “And then people get angry when I make an example of them.”

Harley smiled nodding her head “I mean it’s a little fun, kinda like the black widow style without the gross sleeping with them you know? They see this beautiful rose thinking they even have a chance and BAM Their brains are on the floor” She laughed a bit before nodding her head “Oh That’s perfect Pammy!! Really say hello with a true bang, maybe we should tag his office too I have this really cook smoke bomb gun now!” She explained excitedly before nodding her head “If people don’t pay attention to the planet it’s bound to turn on them, so Justice needs to be severed and who could ask for a better package Red” She smiled grabbing the other’s arms “How about we start with Dinner and see what we can dig up for dessert? After all, a girl’s gotta make up for lost time with her number 1”

-

Pam laughed as Harley spoke, glancing at her affectionately. “You do have your own colorful view of fun,” she teased lightly, shaking her head. Harley was the only person she really teased like that. The only person who brought out the light-hearted side of her. She gave a soft chuckle. “One thing at a time, darling,” she said. “There’s no reason to get everything out of the way tonight. You’re not going anywhere, are you?” She felt a little pang of distress at the thought, looking at the other woman closer. She smiled as Harley spoke. “Exactly,” she said, reaching out to gently grasp Harley by the chin. “You understand me better than anyone else. You always have.” She laughed a little. “That sounds wonderful.”

Pam didn’t often take care of the hyenas herself, but Bruce had been especially restless today, so she thought she would do Harley a favor and get him out of the house. It was a favor for herself, too, if not more so -- she hoped the hyena expending all this energy would prevent him from doing anything to her plants. Bruce trotted along serenely enough at her side at first, but a sound from around the corner had him taking off at a run. Pam followed behind him, walking just fast enough to keep him in view so she wouldn’t lose him. When he bound directly up to another person, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, be careful,” she said, casually. “He’s wild, after all. Who knows what he might do?”​

Easton scowled at the woman when she asked him what he would do if she had an eye problem. Easton has YET to deal with someone with an eye problem as far as he knows. Because the blind don’t give him the judgmental looks and stares that the homeless kid gets from most otherr people. “I would tell you that it’s remarkable that you were able to look at me that accurately.” Easton said with a huff. 

When the roots began to creep towards him and wound around his ankles, Easton nearly yelped in surprise. His hand suddenly flashed into his pocket and pulled out a card. He channeled it’s magic into his body as he looked at the card. Angelic wings sprouted from his back as his senses were suddenly heightened ten fold. The wings shot up to get Easton in the air, hovering above her even as the roots let go an retracted. 

Thank God for the Judgement card, Easton thought. 

“I think I can handle myself, lady.” 

-

Pam smiled faintly. “I’m a multi-talented woman,” she said. She smiled as she heard the young man help, though her posture stiffened when his hand flashed into his pocket, concerned he was going to pull out a knife and cut them. When he pulled out a card instead, she raised an eyebrow, her mildly interested expression hardly changing when he sprouted wings and lifted into the air. “Oh, bravo,” she said, her tone dry as desert sand. “Shouldn’t you have a guitar case on the ground for people to toss in a few spare dollars? Or perhaps a hat.”

She shrugged, her face still holding the same slightly amused look as the tree next to them reached down, moving as fluidly as a dancer, to scoop a branch underneath her and lift her up until she was the same height as the young man with his wings. The branch curved underneath her like a seat, and she perched there as comfortably as a queen on her throne. “So can I,” she said. “You have to make sure whoever you’re up against can’t handle themselves, too. If not better than you can.” She smiled faintly. “Just a piece of friendly advice.”

Harley smiled softly she loved being around Pam that was just something she’d never get tired of no matter how much in each other’s company they spent. “I better be the only one appreciating your wonderful style, though it’s been a while since I bashed someone’s face in” She allowed a rather crazy smile to overtake her face at the possibility of it. “Not considerate at all!! Oh well, I suppose I have to arrive in New York with a BANG, starting with our favorite little cop” She clapped her hands together happily before nodding her head. “The big meanie they are whole they should’ve arrested hurting the precious river.” she mused before blushing slightly “Aww Red you say the sweetest things! it’s like we are proper family now!” She nodded her head at Pam’s warning as her boys seemed to get the threat and moved to look around their new home “Such good boys, well now that’s all cleared up, Pammy We should go out? I’m starved and new to town so maybe you show a girl around?”

-

Pam laughed softly as Harley spoke. “Darling, you know I would never stop you from your fun,” she said. “You can bash someone’s face in any time you like. They don’t have to flirt with me first. Although I can always make them if that would make it more amusing for you.” She smiled as Harley spoke, shrugging her shoulders. “You could always put firecrackers in his desk drawer,” she suggested. “The sound, the sparks…maybe his whole office could go up in flames, you never know.” She smiled again. “I think so, too,” she said. “Fortunately I have my own brand of justice that doesn’t really need the actual court system.” She glanced at the hyenas, sighing softly. “Yes, a family that drools quite a lot,” she said, glancing back at Harley with a soft smile. “Still, I know how much they mean to you. I would never turn them out.” She laughed softly. “Go out as in to dinner?” she teased. “Or go out as in perform a few misdemeanors? I’m open to either one.”

       Pamela was one of the Rogues that Crane actually got along with pretty well. When he tolerated the others, he liked Ivy. Maybe it was because they worked well together or maybe it was their mutual affection for Harley, but he thought it best not to question. Sitting on the pleather booth seat, he pushed the bridge of his glasses further up his nose as he waited for the redhead to join him. They had business to discuss, and she was the only person naturally immune to his fear gas which made her the perfect candidate to help him.

-

Pam wasn’t really one to socialize, per se -- or at all, unless spending time with Harley counted. But there were also those who could persuade her to leave her plants behind, even if for a brief time, and Jonathan Crane was on that list. She wasn’t sure if either she or Crane were typically capable of really making friends, but whatever they were to each other, it allowed them to at least enjoy each other’s company. She found him sitting in the restaurant booth and slid in across from him, raising an eyebrow. “Crane,” she said. “It’s not like you to suggest a lunch date.” A brief smirk touched her lips. “What is it?”
