Who: Harley & Eddie
Where: Pam's (RIP) apartment, Gotham
When: June 20, 2010
Summary: Harley and Eddie discuss the successful escape, Pam, and Eddie's health

Harley had given Eddie all the space he needed to grow acclimated to the new apartment. It was small and far from the typical definition of homely, but it was safe enough for the two criminals to hide out in. What had once been a haven of plant life had been reduced to wilted greenery. Harley's very presence was detrimental to the habitat, but she didn't have the heart to clear the plants out. Pam would have wanted her to let them live (or die) in peace.

Her task for the day was to return with all the goods on Ed's shopping list. Though clothes and food weren't going to be a problem, the long, multi-syllabolic medicine had proven a bit of a challenge. Whoever the guy was that Eddie trusted with the pills had been wary of the happy-go-lucky blonde that had skipped towards him, but with a bit of persuassion he had given her exactly what she needed.

She wandered back to her apartment, examining the orange bottle of pills all the way up the stairs. She was going to have to ask Eddie about them. She shoved the door open and jumped inside. "Eddie! I'm hoooome!" she cried excitedly. "Oooh, pink looks good on you! But I like green better!" One plastic bag came careening across the entryway to the living room that Ed had stationed himself in. It landed right next to him on the couch and Harley jumped with a loud cheer. "IT'S GOOD!"

Eddie stood immobile, staring at Harley, weighing his words. He saw how bent out of shape she had become over Ivy's death - he could easily see her going absolutely nuts if he told her the truth. She would weep and, God forbid, become clingy, and Eddie didn't think he could handle that. Only a couple days ago he had heard that he was going to die in a few, short months and that was something he was coping with; he didn't want to have to cope with her grief as well.

So, he lied.

Smiling slyly, he told her, "Thank you. It worked perfectly, thanks to you." He slipped the medication into the pocket of his bathrobe as casually as possible, hoping she wouldn't ask about it. The way Harley's mind worked, the best thing would be to distract her. "I think I'm going to change into that suit you got for me. Hand it to me, would you?"

"Aw, ya know I'd do anything for ya, Eddie," Harley replied with a watery smile. She got to her feet and picked up the green suit, handing to him. "I hope it fits, I wasn't sure what size ya wore. You're kinda...long," she decided with a shrug.

"I'm starvin', Eddie. Want something to eat? I'm sure I could make us a good meal!" Though out of what was yet to be decided. The apartment wasn't exactly stocked for guests. Harley herself had been living off of Super Sugar Bombs and chocolate milk.

"It'll be fine," Eddie said, taking the suit from her. "Better than walking around in this house robe, in any case."

He went into the bathroom, but left the door open to a little crack so he could continue to speak with Harley. He'd been so busy focused on the computer that he'd forgotten to eat all day. He took the pills out of the robe pocket and put it on the sink before changing. "Yes, please. Something to eat would be fantastic." The seizure pills shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach.
