Reuniting Vacation

Neopolitan, Cirilla, and I walk through the streets of Gotham as we head to where Harley resides. I wanted to enjoy a nice walk instead of just popping over with my Semblance. As we walked, the Witcheress then asked me, probably to make conversation.

" Can you explain something that has been on my mind?"

" Sure, what?"

I wonder what she wants to know. Cirilla then asked me as she sped up to be right beside me.

" You said you have been in this world before, right?"

" Yes."

" However, you said every universe's time flows independently from one another, but you said it's been a year since you last appeared here. How does that work?"

Ah, right, that can be a bit confusing for the inexperienced world traveler. It will still be a bit before we reach our destination, so I can explain to kill time.

" For starters, each universe's time flows independently from one another, with some exceptions, of course. However, due to this makes time a bit more... Fluid between worlds; I can control my entry and exit points in the flow of time when traveling between worlds. By going with the flow, I can appear at a later point in time, but to clarify. In contrast, I can go against the flow of time; it takes a ridiculous amount of calculations and energy to do so, and it's not worth it as I usually only succeed in creating a parallel timeline or risk causing a paradoxical collapse of a timeline.

Another thing I usually like to reappear near or at the point of time I left the world so it can be seen as time has stopped for a world for me. Any other questions?"

Neopolitan then asked as she inserted herself into the conversation.

" You said there were exceptions; why kinds are there?"

" Well, one is the Ever After, which is strongly connected to Remnant, and another is Cirilla's home universe, which is a cluster of universes that sometimes get connected to one another enough to allow things to enter each other."

" The Conjunction of Spheres!"

Cirilla immediately realized what I was eluding to and exclaimed. My time in the Witcherverse was enlightening when it came to further understanding the multiverse in its various forms. It helped push my mastery over time and space to a higher level. After the serious talk, all that was left was idle chatter and the occasional crook who made the mistake of trying to cross me and my group.

We soon reached our destination, the abandoned Gotham Mall, where Harley should be crashing. I better knock.

" This isn't a good idea, Harley."

Poison Ivy warned her friend-slash-sort-of-girlfriend, her usual black leather jacket and green leafy leggings, as she was more than a little tempted to pull her red locks out at Harley Quinn being, well, Harley Quinn. The Crazy Harlequin retorted as she tied herself to the bungee cord.

" Ivy, I love you, and I know I worry you at times."

" More like all the time."

The Green-Skinned Villianous snarked, but Harley continued as it went in one ear and out the other.

" But! I AM BORED OUT OF MY EVER LOVING MIND!"

The Crazy Harlequin then jumped off the top floor of the Gotham Mall onto a large vat of margarita as her idea of entertaining herself for today is to get drunk and bungee jump at the same time. Both she and Ivy had to lay low as things were getting more than a little out of hand in Gotham for several reasons, the biggest being that all of Rogue Gallery was abuzz and stirring something sinister in the background.

Harley dunked herself into the giant serving of margarita and tried to drink as much as she could before being pulled back up with the bungee cord. Poison Ivy sighed as she rubbed her temples, as she knew this was not going to end well, but at least she would get to say.

" I told you so."

For the rest of today and tomorrow. She went to prepare the first aid kit but suddenly heard a loud crash at the front entrance and groaned.

" What now?"

Harley then called out to her sort-of girlfriend.

" Ivy, mind getting me down? Cracking the skulls of our guests sounds like a better idea than what I am doing right now."

The Leafy Villianous rolled her eyes as she commanded her plants to catch the Crazy Harlequin so she could get herself untied from the bungee cord. The two ran to where the loud crash happened, and a cloud of dust obscured their vision, but Harley called out while waving her bat Pudd'n.

" Come on out, whoever you are, you are going to pay for crashing my place!"

The Crazy Harlequin then saw a massive shadow in the dust cloud and swung her bat with reckless abandon as she grinned with mad glee and exclaimed.

" There you are!"

She soon found her bat stuck in place and was unable to move it. She pulled as hard as she could and demanded.

" Let go!"

She then heard a familiar voice say to her.

" Now, Harley, do you always swing your bat at your friends, or am I just lucky?"

Harley looked up as the dust cleared and smiled as she exclaimed and hugged her friend.

" Silva! You big fluffy oaf, it's been forever and a half!"

" Good to see you too, Harley. Ivy, is our resident mad girl driving you up the wall?"

Silva Zelretch Branwen greeted his other friend, Poison Ivy, and she relaxed as she replied casually.

" No more so than usual. It's been a while, Silva."

" Yeah, I brought pizza and drinks so we could catch up."

The Crazy Harlequin saw the giant carrying the pizza boxes in his other paw and called out.

" Ooo, give me!"

" Yeah, yeah, pineapple, with Canadian bacon and pepperoni for you. Veggy lovers with no cheese and extra veggies for Ivy."

Silva handed the pizzas to his two friends and added.

" I also brought friends."

Neopolitan and Cirilla came through the hole the Snow Leopard Man made through the barricaded front entrance. Harley saw the Tri-Colored Catgirl and whispered to Silva.

" She's adorable!"

The Crazy Harlequin immediately sets aside her pizza to try and pet the catgirl. Neopolitan dodged and stuck her tongue out at Harley, which made the Crazy Harlequin grin as it made her more determined to pet the catgirl. Their game of Cat and Mouse aside, the Witcheress eyed Poison Ivy and asked Silva.

" Are their Dyrads in this world too?"

" Well, yes, but also no. However, Ivy is not a Dryad, at least not in a mystical sense, as she is a woman of science."

The Leafy Villainess smiled as she said.

" You always say the nicest things, Silva, but that aside. Considering you have been gone for about a year and brought some interesting guests, I am guessing you finally made it home."

" Yeah, so I am backtracking to see if anyone I know is interested in moving right now, plus seeing some other friends I made and my wives."

Poison Ivy grabbed a slice of pizza and said before taking a bite.

" Let's catch up then."
