Chapter Six

This day is already too long: I discovered a new drug in Gotham, I found the sister of a psychopath and now I go to a criminal to ask for information. I can't wait to get home!


"Is Ivy Pepper here? In this place so ... creepy ?! "


"According to our latest sources and the state of the building ..."


It was an abandoned factory, full of flowers growing on the walls. I was scared! But at the same time it was fascinating, how does a person have the ability to transform something lifeless and totally left out, into a home for new beings. Even though they aren't people, plants fulfill the normal cycle of a living being.


I'm about to enter ... I don't know what will happen to me, I don't know if I'm going to leave here alive. I avoided becoming police to avoid shootings and this kind of adrenaline in my body, I feel that any kind of action makes you more and more "active"! It's not that I do not like your presence, you also prevent me from spending millions of minutes by myself, but sometimes I need to have my own thoughts to act like a normal person.


What? Do you think it's a trap to get in here?


Seriously? I thought you loved the danger! Maybe you don't love danger when they have not given me any weapon to defend myself. And if you're warning me, it's because the situation is serious.


"Guys, maybe we should come here by day!"


But they had already crossed the darkness and didn't hear me. Maybe it was even better this way, they didn't hear me sweating like a pussy. But on the other hand, it means that I have to look for another way in to help them! I can't leave them, knowing there is someone anxious there to attack them!


I'm going to walk around the building, maybe I'll find another entrance. Stay tuned! This place by day should be an attraction for the people who pass here, so many beautiful flowers that should draw attention to anyone in the light of day .... Okay, I get it! Don't smell the flowers, don't touch them either! Needless to shout!


Voila! Here's the entry we were looking for! I needed something that would be light, but unfortunately they took all the flashlights! You're right, there's one on the floor! Thank you! And a loaded gun ... looks like my day ... .AAAAHHHHHH ... OMG !!! THIS IS A DEAD CORPSE STRUCTURED TO A VINE!!! What a strange method to murder people, but at least confirm that I'm in the right place!


You're right, only who comes here! I mean, I'd rather be home ... but I'm still here of my own free will, trying to save people I've met today, because it's part of my job.


Probably, if my father knew that his little girl is in a dark warehouse, alone, with corpses attached to vines, he would send me to New York.


QUIET, I'm hearing voices! It seems our new friends have found our prey! I'm going to hide here behind ... the worst thing is that these plants have life, what do you suggest I do ?! Do you want me to fondle them? Really, are you kidding me? But soon, either they kill me or I'm discovered and I end up dying too, I seem to have a little chance. Aw, they seem to like me! I was right, plants are like humans, they just become evil because they have no love in their lives or have love in their lives and are capable of doing everything for the person they love!


"Bruce, we have to stop find each other this way!"


"I need some information and I'm already leaving!"


"You are already abusing my patience. But I think I have the answer for what you are looking for! "


A girl with snails on her back appears behind a bush getting into the moonlight so that everyone can see her. By day the light of Gotham is only a mere gray spot in the sky, but at night the city is illuminated by the light of the moon, and the sky no longer has so many clouds! It is as if the city only allows that only the light of the darkness infiltrates itself.


"Selina ..."


So this is what Selina Kyle is. It seems that after all, it wasn't that difficult to find her.


"Bruce, for the last time, I'm not going with you!"


"I didn't know you were here in fact. I mean, I had a hunch. But that's not why I came here today! "


"What do you want?"


"There's a new drug circulating in Gotham, which should not be new to you, Ivy, since you gave them a flower!"


"You have to be more specific, many people come here to looking for a flower, but few come out."


"It's a laskspur!"


"Let's see! No, I don't remember! And even if I remembered what I would get in return? "


"It's just minimal information!"


"Who can jeopardize an alliance!"


"Master Bruce, we better look elsewhere. You already know how underworld deals work! "


"Where do you guys think you're going?"


"We are leaving, you don't give us the information we need we have to go look elsewhere!"


"And you think I was letting you go!? You are aware of a new drug in the city that can affect the business. Although it has nothing to do with me, I keep a promise! "


So she just said these words a series of vines began to roll down Alfred, Bruce and Lucios's feet. It's time I stepped out of the shadows ...


"Leave them, now !!!!" '


"Well, well! You are full of surprises! "


"I don't like repeating the same thing many times! So give us the information we want and we'll all be happy! "


"And what would I benefit from it?"


"Well, you'd live another day to deal with your problems, I think it's fair!"


With this ragged conversation and after being the first time I held a loaded gun ready to take a person's life, they managed to free themselves in time for me to take the first shot, which as I planned hit the wall. I did not want to hit the plants, although I know they are Ivy's weakness, but I do not think it's okay to play dirty as they play.


While Bruce tried to get rid of Selina to go to Ivy, I dealt with Ivy herself and plants, which, no matter how much she commanded, didn't hurt me, because I had shown them that they did not need to attack me, since , I was not there to hurt them!


"I've never seen your face before. I will conclude that you are new to the city! "


"You're right!"


After she tries to lie me down on the floor, so that I can attack with my own nails, I finally put into practice what I learned in my extra-classes, making her stand in a position so I can say my last words before to give up the information.


"I'll ask one last time, just the right way! Please, it is very important that you tell us who is the person behind the drugs! I owe you a favor! "


"Harleen, you better not do that!"


"Bruce, the decision to get on that bus to come here was mine, just like this one!"


You have the notion that this was a bad idea, right? She will not leave me alone for a favor! I've seen this movie millions of times ... but, yes, I trust you! And if you think this is the best decision to save my life, I believe!


"Deal!"


I take it and hold her hand for her to get up. As an act of compromise.


"It was Jeremiah's psycho! She says they are planning something big! And that's all I know! In exchange for supplying it, we had their protection. "


"Protection, for what?"


"That, they did not mention to me!"


"But I know! And if I say so, you never come looking for me again Bruce! Because this is the path I have chosen, and I do not want you to follow me, because I know you do not support the same ideals, so if that makes us enemies, just let it happen! "


"I understand, Selina ... You're right! It's time to let you go! "


Bruce says these words with a deviation from looking in my direction, as if he had already prepared to say it a long time ago, and that was a gesture of "thank you"!


"They want to use it with all the unfaithful people who did not join them during the black year! At least, it's their plan in the long run. I have no interest in being a part of their mental games, as you must remember it is because of Jeremiah that my life has changed, good things have happened, but also bad things! Ivy is the only one who can help me control what I feel right now. "


"You know what's best for you! And I respect that, as I told you! "


"Thank you, Bruce!"


We were about to leave when Ivy interrupted my walk.


"Harleen, right?"


"Yes!"


"You will hear from me soon."


"Can't wait!"


"Oh, and one more thing! Continue to follow what the spirits tell you, because they will prevent you from ending up like your mother! "


"What did you say? How did you ...? "


I left that place terrified. How does she know? Does she hear you, too? Do I speak loudly when I answer? No, she should just be playing with my head. But my mother...I've never mentioned her to anyone since I arrived ...


"What is it, Ivy?"


"That girl! I want you to keep it under our belt! "


"Do you think it can bring us problems?"


"No, on the contrary, I saw something in her that I haven't seen since Jerome Valeska died ... which can work for us!"
