Harley Quin and Poison Ivy: Reha-Baby-tilators (Private for Neran and TheJozza)

[Neran]

Harley rocked back and forth in her seat as she blew a kiss towards Poison Ivy, who was in a seat next to her. Curiosity beckoned her to wonder about their situation. They were Arkham, made sense.

They were called into some sort of mandatory meeting, weird but interesting and not to different from a therapy session.

Wonder Woman was now sitting across from them, that fancy gold lasso being wrapped around all of their arms. Wasn’t that supposed to make people not lie or something? Weirdly enough, that was the only form of restraint on the two criminals.

“Harleen Quinzel and Pamela Isley.” Harley gagged at her old name… but considering who gave her the current one…eh. “I have come to you today to offer you what I believe is known as a ‘plea deal’. And for the purpose of saving time, you are unable to lie as long as this Lasso is touching you. And it also reveals your actions, such as attacking, when you plan to do it. Naturally the same goes for me. So I would not advise attacking me, and instead listening.”

[theJozza]

Ivy of course smiles and winks at Harley in response to the kiss, then turns her attention back to Wonder Woman. As usual, Ivy's a bit more on guard than Harley is, but she's plenty curious herself considering she's fairly sure what this is about.

Word had been going around Arkham for a few weeks now that the government had reached an agreement with the Justice League to let them try some "alternative" rehabilitation programs for supervillains. While she had some mixed feelings about the whole set up, Ivy could admit that if she had to be put under one of the heroes she'd probably be okay with Wonder Woman.

"Okay, Princess," Ivy says leaning forward, cupping her chin in the hand not bound by the lasso and leaning forward. "Since we don't want to waste time let's cut to the chase. This is about the new rehab thing they're letting you run, and you want me and Harls as your first subjects. Am I right?"

"No," Wonder Woman replies calmly, causing Ivy to raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Or rather I should say, not exactly. This is related to my new program, but I was hoping to recruit the two of you to help me run it rather than participating in it yourselves."

"Oh? Why?" Ivy asks.

"Because," Wonder Woman says, while reaching into a satchel beside her chair. "When we were going through your greenhouse, I found this curious file," she opens a manilla folder on the table, revealing a picture of a bright blue flower. Ivy's eyes narrow for a moment, then she looks up with an amused smirk.

"Okay yeah," she says with a shrug. "I did some research and found out that the so-called Fountain of Youth legend was based not on a magical body of water but rather a rare species of water lily. Apparently, its pollen can have a...regressive effect on humans when applied in the correct doses. I collected a few and did some experiments. Why are you so interested?"

"Because I believe this discovery of yours is just what I need to both rehabilitate several villains," Wonder Woman replies, while starting to smile. "And give a great gift to my sisters."

[Neran]

Harley Quin raised her eyebrow at the fun fact. “Woah…” She couldn’t believe the love of her life had found something like this! She was definitely going to have to praise her for that later. Maybe throw a small part.. they could get takeout… if they weren’t in Arkham…

She shook her head and giggled at Wonder Woman. “What? Are you planning on turning them into babies?” She asked with a laugh, the image of her fellow inmates as babies causing her to break into laughter. She had heard about the rehabilitation program, or at least rumors. And she was definitely curious about the details.

“Yes.” Wonder Woman’s quick response and Lasso of Truth was enough to make her pause. “My sisters have listened to my tales and also seen my mother raise me. And it would be wrong to say some weren’t… jealous. While the world of man has a depressing amount of orphans to adopt, and some of my sisters have done just that, I see a way to help some villains stop their vicious cycle. The terms of this are simple. You will be given a space of your own to regress them body wise-“ She gestured to Poison Ivy. “And break them down mentally.” She gestured to Harley, who curtsied in the chair. “Once the villainess is regressed, they will be sent to Themescryia where they will be reraised.”

Harley had her mouth gaped open at that. While she found some of that adorab—A lot. She found a lot of it adorable… she couldn’t make a decision without Ivy. Not because of she was controlling, but because this was for both of them.

“Harleen.” She was snapped out of her thoughts by Wonder Woman, glaring at the use of her name. “You were chosen for your former career as a therapist. I would like you to consid-“

“Sorry.” She said with the least amount of emotion she had shown in a long time. “Cant do anything without Iv.” It was clear she was more then a bit mad at being called her old name.

[theJozza]

Ivy listens attentively, though like Harley she isn't able to contain her surprise at Wonder Woman's suggested plan. On the one hand, she certainly wasn't all that interested in serving as an assistant to any superhero, even one as "tolerable" as Wonder Woman. On the other hand, a chance to get back to her lab/greenhouse and complete her experiments with that water lily were certainly a tempting offer. Also considering the only human being she actually cared about was seated next to her it wasn't like Ivy was concerned with any of the other villainesses holding a grudge.

Upon hearing Harley's comment, Ivy nods and turns back to Diana.

"Would you mind giving the two of us a minute to discuss your little offer, Princess," she asks, before raising a hand to the side of her head. "And for the record if we do end up working together you should know she genuinely prefers: Harley."

"Very well," Wonder Woman stands up, retracing her lasso. "And I will remember that," she adds nodding to Harley and walks for the door. "I will be right outside. Simply call when you reach a decision." After she leaves, Ivy turns to Harley and folds her arms.

"Okay Harls go ahead," she says with a knowing smirk. "Feel free to tell me how you think the idea of turning over villains into babies for the Amazons sounds adorable, fun, and totally something that you want to do. Because for the record, I think I could be open to it."

[Neran]

As soon as Wonder Woman left all emotion came back to her face. Harley grinned and started bounding around the room with all the experience of a trained acrobat and gymnast. “WOOO!!!! Think of how adorable they’d be! Oh we could dress them in outfits! Take them on walks! You could teach them about plants! And you know this could maybe be practice for when we have kids!” Harley started rambling on and on as she eventually landing in front of Ivy on the table, crouching like a monkey before she jumped onto her lap and straddled her.

Though this was a very intimate pose, Harley didn’t really process that. “This is the perfect opportunity! Plus it could be the perfect opportunity to get out of this joint before… others…. Get caught and sent back here!”

It was clear Harley was nervous about a certain green haired maniac being sent back. A maniac who was currently on the lamb, one who she had been trying to distance herself from. “Besides! I’ve helped heroes before! Maybe not anything big like this but still! think about! Never coming back here! Free rein to do whatever we want! Oh! You can even visit Themescryia! You’d love it! Please can we do it? Please? Please? Please?” She asked as she bounced on her lap happily.

[theJozza]

Ivy stays quiet and let's Harley get all that she'd been holding in out. This was a fairly common interaction between the two of them...and Ivy liked it when Harley was cute. As soon as Harley finishes, Ivy pecks her cheek and turns her so she's sitting in her lap. The irony not lost on her that here was Harley talking about them helping with this and even having kids themselves when she was acting like a bit like a crazed toddler. Besides, she had already been planning a breakout for the two of them, though she'd also played with waiting for the "other" that Harley was referring to so she could...mulch him. But this was easier and actually did sound like it could be fun.

"Okay Harls, we'll do it. But uh, let me do the final talking okay, babe?" Ivy nods, before turning to the door. "Hey we're ready for you!" she calls out. A moment later, Wonder Woman walks back in.

"I trust you have made a decision?" Diana asks.

"We have, and we'll do it...on a few conditions," Ivy says, keeping in her seat.

"I suspected as much," Diana nods, keeping her arms folded. "Go on."

"First, we're only interested in working with you, none of the other heroes. Second, for that "space" you mentioned we want my greenhouse all my stuff is already set up there anyway. Third, we want to get all our needs paid for. Finally, a couple of questions," Ivy pauses and leans forward. "Just how many of these adoptions are we gonna need to do and what happens at the end?"

"First, I find all those terms acceptable," Wonder Woman replies, before reaching into her satchel and pulling out a pile of folders. "To answer your questions I have six individuals in mind, here are there official files so you can prepare," she drops them on the table. "though I'm fairly certain you're familiar with most if not all of them. Once they are all properly settled on Themyscira you two, provided you also agree to stop waisting your considerable talents on criminal endeavors, will be free to do as you please. So do we have a deal, sisters?" Diana asks extending her hand.

[Neran]

Harley didn’t mind sitting in her lap, nor how it made her look like a toddler. She just always enjoyed having fun and there didn’t seem to be any problem with that. Plus Iv would tell her if she was bothering her. She cheered at the kiss and confirmation as she hugged her tightly while Wonder Woman came back.

Wonder Woman noticed Harley’s position but didn’t say anything. She knew they both had their preferences. “Naturally you won’t have to take them all on at once, but you will have to pick one to take on now, so we can give you the proper supplies and prep the area.”

“Deal!!” Harley grinned and grabbed the files, trying to think of how to decide. Before she placed them on the table and shuffled them about. Once she was done she picked a folder. “Alright! This is the one we’re doing first.” Without even looking at the contents tossed it over to Wonder Woman, who smiled and took it while wrapping the lasso around her own arm.

“Alright, so long as you fulfill your obligations, I shall make sure you have your reward.” Wonder Woman then stood up and beckoned for them to follow. “Now let’s head to your mansion.”

Harley grinned and kissed Ivy on the cheek and hopped up to follow her… only to register what she had been told. “Wait… mansion?!” Wonder Woman smirked as they both followed her.

“Yes, you didn’t think we would have you regress supervillains in a well populated area did you? It will be a bit far from civilization, have your greenhouse, and if you wish to actually take them to a populated area you will be given vehicles to do so… provided you alert us so we can be prepared.” Wonder Woman then stopped once they were on the roof of the asylum and held up an umbrella for them.

Though the rain was heavy, it allowed them to see the outline of an invisible jet. Harley cheered and forgot about the umbrella. “This is gonna be awesome!!” Wonder Woman smiled while giving the umbrella to Ivy.

“…Before you ask about where the money for this came from, lots of people want less villains, and more people want you both to reform than you think…” Wonder Woman left her with the umbrella and went to start up the jet.

[theJozza]

Ivy's eyes also widen a bit in surprise at the revelation of their new living conditions. She certainly hadn't counted on the heroes to spare no expense on them. A mansion on the outskirts of Gotham with her original greenhouse and all expenses paid...if she knew that the Justice League was willing to offer her something like that she would have volunteered to regress the entire Legion of Doom.

(This might be the break we've been waiting for...) Ivy thinks to herself as she follows Harley into the jet.

(A few weeks later)

Ivy hums to herself as she strolls around her greenhouse, carrying a watering can in one hand and controlling several vines behind her to perform other maintenance duties. Needless to say that Wonder Woman had kept her promise and Ivy's original greenhouse had been safely and completely relocated to her and Harley's new house (maybe working with superheroes carried more advantages than she thought), with all her plants healthy. The mansion itself was a little old, but honestly it was just the style she liked. Plus it was retrofitted with all the modern amenities they needed.

"There you go," Ivy coos as she waters the last set of plants. "Nice fresh drinks for my babies. Though on that note," she chuckles and sets down her watering can, grabs a vial of her new regression formula, and walks out of the glass building.

They'd mostly spent their time here settling in and setting up, but that was going to change today as Wonder Woman had called last night to confirm that she'd captured the villainess that Harley had closed for their first subject.

Ivy climbs a large staircase to the second floor, walking down a hallway to a room with a bright pink door covered in stickers. Harley had insisted on being given carte blanche on decorating the nursery for their upcoming charges.

"Hey Harls," Ivy says as she opens it, knowing that Harley was inside putting the finishing touches on the room. "You ready? Wonder Woman could be here any minute."

[Neran]

Harley grinned as she closed the door to the nursery and met up with Ivy. Though she loved Iv, she knew that she had her shortcomings as well. One of which being nurturing anything that wasn’t a plant, or Harley herself. Hence why she decorated the nursery, and wasn’t gonna let anyone see it first except their baby. “Yep! This is gonna be so fun…” Harley tapped her foot. “We can have movie nights, sleep overs, pillow fights, we can even take her out walking…”

When she got to the mansion, she had naturally checked out every little bit of it. And saying it was on the outskirts of Gotham was right. There was no pollution whatsoever, clear skies, lush greenery, and no other building in sight. This was perfect for what they were here to do.

And she had also… read a bit on a book that was written about therapy… one that SHE had written… just to refresh her mind.

Plus there was also a master bedroom which she and Ivy had… put to good use. There was also a perfectly high tech security system to keep intruders in and babies out.

Wait… reverse that.

Coupled with how Iv could communicate with plants, no one was getting in or out without Ivys permission.

Speaking of which… there WAS something she needed to check with Ivy… something she wasn’t looking forward too…

“Umm… Ivy… honey, baby, sweetie… love of my life…” Harley spoke with sweat drops running down her forehead. “I’ve been researching diets of newborns… and children… and it umm… well depending on how well your plant works, and as usual it’ll be flawless… they might …need… vegetablesandfruitsintheirdiets.” She screwed her eyes shut and braced for wrath as she broke the news to Ivy, who was connected to all plant life.

[theJozza]

Ivy listens attentively, then once Harley is finished she reaches over and strokes her hair to calm her down.

"It's okay Harls, I won't mind I promise," Ivy says. It was true...mostly. She had once been so attuned to plants that even the sight of someone eating a salad sent her into a frenzy...but she'd calmed down on that particular front. After all it was pretty nonsensical to an extent, plants literally made their fruits to be eaten. In fact, Harley's therapy (before she'd fallen for the Joker) had been the main reason she'd been able to shed that particular trigger, and she didn't like Harley feeling guilty anytime she ate fruits or vegetables. "Anyway, you handle the diet however you feel is necessary," Ivy says, leaning in to kiss her forehead. After breaking said kiss, they here the doorbell ring.

"Well guess that's Wonder Woman with our first little patient," Ivy says taking Harley's hand. "Let's go."

The two of them walk to the front double door, with Ivy conjuring Vines to open them. This reveals Wonder Woman, with a figure standing beside her who clearly doesn't want to be there.

"Harley, Ivy, it is good to see you," Diana says with a smile as she leads her prisoner inside. "I must admit I am glad that you chose her as your first patient. It is a rather personal load off my shoulders.

"GMPH!" Cheetah grunts next to Wonder Woman, glaring. The human cat is wearing a muzzle and straightjacket, but despite that and Wonder Woman's firm grip she's continuing to struggle fruitlessly. Upon hearing Harley and Ivy's names she looks forward, her eyes widening in surprise and confusion.

"Hey kitty cat," Ivy says, snapping her fingers as vines wrap around her, securing her even more and lifting her away from Wonder Woman. "Nothing personal, but let's just say we and the princess have a new arrangement." This causes even more angry grumbles from behind Cheetha's muzzle.

"I would wish you would not struggle, Barbara," Diana sighs and shakes her head. "This is for your own good and it will be fair easier if you cooperate," she turns to Harley and Ivy. "Would you like me to stay at all?"
