Wildflowers
By DemonRomantic
Harley was busy cleaning out the feminine napkin depositories in the women’s bathroom of Arkham Asylum, while Pamela (a.k.a Ivy) worked her way into the vents above the stalls.
“Yick! Why do they always smell like fish?” Harley complained, tossing another rancid bag into the big garbage can on wheels.
“Harls, that’s disgusting! And hush up, I’ve almost got this damn thing loose.”
Harley forgot about cleaning altogether and gave her girlfriend a boost, so that she could better reach the vent cover. “Careful, Pammy, don’t want to slip and make a loud noise.”
“Yeah, yeah… There! Here, set this on the floor.”
Harley took the metal cover from Ivy and gingerly placed it on the tile, before giving her a boost into the duct. After Ivy was completely inside of the metal passage, she put her arms down to help Harley up. The two women shimmied through the vents towards the direction of the outer walls, pausing each time they heard a noise, or when the path was impassable.
“Hey, you know, your buns look real nice from this angle.” Harley clicked her tongue suggestively.
Ivy let out an exasperated groan. “You sure know how to keep an upbeat attitude even when you’re inhaling decades worth of dust and crawling over screws.”
“What can I say? Living with Mistah J taught me to get comfortable with lousy conditions.” She grunted after hoisting herself a few more feet. “And all those psychology classes I took talked about doing mental exercises so that you can go to your happy place when things get gloomy.”
“Whatever, I still say you’re a nut.”
“That’s why you love me though, right? You know, cause nuts come from plants.”
Rather than let her irritation fuel a rude remark, Ivy pushed herself further along until she could smell rain over the dirt and dust. A loud rumble built until it cracked with a lightening strike. The sound outside would drown out any sound they made while escaping. Pushing as hard as she could on the grate, it gave with a rusty crash to the ground. Peeking out for signs of guards, Ivy called back to Harley.
“It’s pouring. They must have all of the guards stationed inside tonight. Here, help me down, it’s a bit of a drop.”
Harley held onto Ivy’s feet so that she could wriggle out of the ventilation shaft, and then helped her turn once her body was out of the cramped space. Holding tightly to her hands’, Harley lowered her as far down as she could go. The weight of Ivy, combined with gravity, made Harley slip out of the opening with a yell. Ivy managed to touch down on the ground, before Harley fell on top of her with a thud. Groaning painfully, they helped each other up and made their way to the secondary wall.
“You still able to do that thingy with the rapid growing?”
Ivy gestured to the grass at their feet and exerted her will over the blades until they elongated to grow in thick patches over the wall. Blood trickled from Ivy’s nose and she swayed before Harley caught her.
“You alright, Red?”
“I’m fine.”
She rubbed away the blood before taking hold of the overgrowth that led them to the outside world, Harley following right behind her.
“You sure you’re alright? You look a little green around the gills.” Harley asked, handing Ivy a cold compress.
The red head placed it to her forehead and grimaced. “Ha-ha. I’m fine. Trying to force the plants with my powers instead of through botanical hybrids is a bit too much. Exerting myself like that could kill me, that’s why I do the gene splicing with my hybrid seeds.”
“Hopefully it didn’t take awake your spunk.” Harley wiggled her eyebrows. “We should be celebrating after all, it’s our first night back out on the town.”
“Ironically enough, I think I could use a night in. The bed may be from the 70’s but I bet it beats the ones in Arkham. It may not be the Ritz, but this place ain’t to shabby considering we’re in downtown.”
“That’s the spirit! How’s about a bubble bath and a movie? Ooh! We could order pizza!”
Ivy removed the compress and slumped back in her chair. “Now you’re talking.”
Harley started filling the tub with hot water and she and Ivy got into it once it was full. It wasn’t a ‘bubble bath’ but it still felt incredible after wandering through the rain. The first place they had gone after getting into the city, was an outlet store for some new clothes to swap out with their prison uniforms. After breaking in and snatching their outfits, they had surveyed the area for motels; paying for a room with money they had taken out of a register at the store. Once their bath was finished, the ladies changed into some sweats and tank tops they had also stolen.
Ivy weaved Harley’s hair into two hanging braids at the back of her head, while Harley made an order for a half vegetarian, half peperoni pizza with the courtesy phone on the nightstand. The girls ate their pizza while they watched a show playing on t.v. and laughed.
“This is the first slumber party I’ve had in a while.” Harley beamed, taking a bite of her pizza and pulling away a long strand of cheese. “Tomorrow we ought to try finding a place of our own to lie low, like the good old days.”
“Yeah. Hey, you’ve got a little sauce on the corner of your mouth there.”
Harley licked her cheek. “Did I get it?”
“Here,” Ivy discarded her own slice of pizza and leaned in to lick the sauce off of Harley’s opposite cheek before kissing her.
The kiss deepened, until Harley put down her food and shoved the pizza box off of the bed. The two women worked their way into a laying position as they made-out, and Harley broke away only to remove her tank-top and shimmy out of her sweat pants. Ivy did the same, and they met back in the middle, feeling up and down one another’s bodies until Ivy’s fingers came up between Harley’s legs. She let out a gasping mewl, and brought her own hands down over Ivy’s breasts, feeling the soft roundness of them as she squeezed gently and continued to kiss her lover.
Ivy broke away and trailed her otherwise lethal lips down Harley’s stomach and lowered herself until her tongue replaced where her fingers had been only moments ago. Letting loose a string of moaning curse words, Harley gripped onto the hair of Ivy’s head as she was licked and sucked. Pressing Harley down onto the bed, Ivy kissed her mouth while going back to using her fingers to pleasure her girlfriend.
“I’m sorry I don’t have any toys.” Ivy panted, increasing her pace. “I’ll have to pick some up tomorrow.”
Harley panted as she was finger-fucked. “D-don’t worry about it. It’s been so long, that just having you do that is getting me close to… Mmm!”
Ivy pulled her hand away, sticky with secretion. “That was fast.”
“Sorry. Like I said, it’s been a while.” Harley whimpered.
Kissing her neck, Ivy made her way to Harley’s cheek where she pecked her once before smiling down at her. “Don’t be.”
Wrapping her arms around her literal partner in crime, Ivy rested her head between Harley’s breasts so that she could listen to her heartbeat. Harley pouted, bringing her own arms around Ivy.
“What about you?”
“I’ll be fine.” She said, yawning. “We’ve got all night, and tomorrows another day.”
Harley smiled as the two women moved to get beneath the covers and fell asleep.
