NATURE Vs nurture

"Life endures. It adjusts and grows stronger. The weeds you try to kill become super-weeds, immune to your poison. And so you increase your TOXINS and POISON the world in a cycle of madness. I call it forth, the p o w e r of the p l a n t s, even from the terminator seeds that should not grow. I am the guardian of the Green. I am Poison Ivy."independentselectivemulti-verse/multi-shipmuse & mun 30+

       “ just give me my cut of the money and i’ll be out of here. “   she means it. she’d take the entire thing for herself if it came down to that, but keeping things friendly between her and ivy, between her and so many others like ivy…. well, it was in her better interests and she knew that much. but that money was half hers, and she wasn’t leaving without it.

Selina is, of all her reluctant Rogue acquaintances, easily the most laser-focused. Always. The cat’s always got her eyes on the prize, and she does seem to love so very many prizes. They’re all empty tokens and trinkets, if you ask Ivy.

“Take it.”

She shoos the duffel bag away with a dismissive wave of her hand. Money is shallow. A means to an end, occasionally, but hardly something Ivy seeks with the same passion that Gotham’s greyest does. She hates heists. Truly. It absolutely does not bother her to see that money leave. If it weren’t for Harley, she’d let Selina take all of it.

“Harley will be so disappointed you’re not sticking around for girls’ night.”

@morefearless​ said : “This place seduces everybody eventually.”

Everything about this place is gawdy-- tacky-- desperate. Yes, yes, she knows ‘When in Rome...’ and such, but she didn’t expect it to be quite this bad. It looks a little bit like a Hot Topic fucked a high school prom. Clearly, the Joker’s ideal hangers on were all rejected extras from a Tim Burton movie.

She can’t even say she’s surprised. She was warned again and again.

Moving through Gotham, she’s made her rounds through each distinct territory, granted safe passage by her reputation. No one wants to decline her self-proposed invitation into their inner-sanctum, not even the staunchest of foes. And in each neighborhood, she’s observed the gangs and how they work and where their weaknesses lie. With every new night and every new visit, she maps out a little more and a little more of her plan.

One day, she’ll sit atop them all. Even this glittery, neon, well-tequila shithole of a nightclub.

Perhaps her disinterest is clearly written across her face ( and it usually is, to be fair ) and that’s why the new voice pops up. The lieutenant to her right goes rigid, ready to grab the blonde woman by the neck and hurl her across the room, but Ivy stops the confrontation before it may begin. A simple lift of one hand. Calm down. Relax.

Looking up from the plush chair in which she’s seated, Ivy takes in every last inch of the woman before her. She’s lithe, agile-- ink-stained and tow-headed. She’s sharp angles and shining eyes. She’s practically vibrating with energy.

And suddenly, Ivy realizes why this place stays as alluring and revered as it does. Spoiler Alert: It actually has very little to do with the clown prince of Gotham and everything to do with the vision in front of her.

The redhead shifts subtly in her seat, stance widening just so-- perhaps an invitation of its own. She knows exactly who this is.

“The Joker’s girl.” She feels dirty referring to a woman as a man’s anything and yet... the world of organized crime is just that for most of them. 

As Ivy continues to stare, she feels one corner of painted lips curl into something sharp and wicked. The Joker’s girl... not for long.

“I look forward to it.”

Ivy’s right. The apology fits her face all wrong. It’s a size too small, and it slips off her lips. Still, she won’t quite smile. But there’s a shimmer in her eyes. “Hey. We can still be Gotham’s baddest GAL PALS, can’t we?”

“Your dance card seems awfully full, Harl, and I never really learned to share.” It’s far easier to keep Harley at an intentional distance than to invite that close, all-too-human intimacy back into her life. “You won’t even notice to MISS ME.”

[mcthernatures]

morefearless​:

“I’m not sorry for LOVIN’ him. But I am sorry for HURTING you.” Again, and again, and again.

“Please, Harley, stop. Apologies are UNBECOMING.” And meaningless, mostly. Again and again and again.

@morefearless​ asked : “You haven’t told anyone about our little talks?”

Dark eyes stare through the bulletproof plexiglass, boring holes through it as vehemently as she wants to bore holes through this metal and concrete monstrosity. Arkham is waste. Arkham is greed. Arkham is cruelty. Arkham is ROT. Every moment she sits in this void, she wilts. One day, she may just wither away. 

( She wonders if the Bat will feel a twinge of shame when the time comes. She hopes the surface of the earth cracks open and swallows him whole to avenge her. )

“Who would I tell?”

This new doctor-- this infant-- has taken a liking to her. It confounds Ivy, even in the best of moments, that very idea doesn’t leave her with the same cold apathy as every other human miscreant she’s ever encountered. Were there to be anyone-- ANYONE-- she ever imagined a reluctant camaraderie with, it would not be this woman. And yet...

“If you were me, you wouldn’t want to talk to any of the filth here, would you, Dr. Quinzel?”

On the contrary, Ivy knows she would. Ivy knows exactly of whom Dr. Quinzel is so enamored-- far beyond her apparent interest in Ivy herself. It’s all the talk of the cell block. There’s not a rogue in this asylum who doesn’t speak of the newest wide-eyed doctor ( in a long line of wide-eyed fodder the Arkham administration has put into the line of fire ) and her open infatuation with the Joker. It’s disgusting. 

Ivy’s silent stare D A R E S the woman to admit it.

@mcthernatures​ said: “sometimes i envy your forgetfulness.”

Hey now, that ain’t nice! Harley’s face contorts like she’s swallowed something sour, and now it’s stuck in her throat. So, maybe the heist hadn’t been the best idea! Maybe she forgot the money, and it burned to ZILCH with the rest of the building. They weren’t destined to be Gotham’s next billionaire gal pals anyways! 

“Now, there ain’t no reason to be slewin’ NONSENSE around! I can’t always be the brains and the beauty, you know!” 

Ivy rarely sees the point in robbing a bank. Heists-- unless they’re for recovering precious natural elements or artifacts or absolutely gutting the infrastructure of any sort of multinational corporation hellbent on robbing the Earth to make a buck-- seem counterproductive. They achieve a selfish end, when Ivy’s entire philosophy derives from a selfless place.

Still, when society at-large can’t see the forest through the trees, so to speak, and labels eco-justice as eco-terrorism, she’s not surprised that she gets lumped in with this kind of nonsense.

There’s a frown pulling the corners of her mouth down as she stares at the plumes of black smoke billowing from the remains of the burning building. What a fucking travesty. No one in Gotham’s criminal element considers the havoc they wreak not just on the world of men but on the world itself. Not even her closest companion. Of course, it must be the money of which she’s speaking.

“You are exactly right in that, Harl.” 

Ivy supposes if the other woman was always going to blow the building up and pour acrid smoke into the sky, the least she could do would be to remember the reason she burnt it all down in the first place.

“This is why I don’t do heists.”
