Chapter 1: Green Mist
Author Notes: Hey this is my first fanfiction I really hope you guys enjoy it. Please let me know what you think about it :). I choose to do a piece on Batman and Ivy I feel like there's a lot more to them than meets the eye and for the record I do not own any of the DC characters so again enjoy.
It was a late night in Gotham, Batman had just got done stopping a pair of jewel thieves from robbing the famous Diamonds & Rubys in downtown Gotham. He felt sluggish that night normally he'd take guys like that out without a problem but that wasn't the case. During the fight he managed to get cut across the face, the cut itself was thin but it bled profusely. To him it was minor he'd just have Alfred clean it up for him when he got back to Wayne Manor. Returning to the batmobile he glanced up at the sky noticing the batman symbol "Must be important" he thought to himself. Gordon wouldn't use the batman sign unless it was an urgent matter to be discussed.
He arrived on top of the GCPD, "what's the problem Gordon?" said batman in his usual deep-tired voice. Jim was pacing back and forth he exhaled "it's Barbara…...she's missing" he said. Batman cocked his eyebrow, it wasn't uncommon in Gotham for criminals to target the commissioner but kidnapping his daughter this was a first.
"How long has she been missing Gordon" said Bruce.
"its been 2 days….." the commissioner paused as if he had more to say and he did "we got into an argument last week words were exchange hurtful ones, the last thing she told me was I hope I never see you again". Batman could see the emotions protruding from the commissioner the sadness and anger that spewed from his voice.
"Don't worry Jim I'll find her" said Bruce, the commissioner gathered himself "please do" he turned around to nobody being there "I really hate when he does that" Jim thought.
Bruce wanted to start his investigation on a better night than tonight but he couldn't leave Jim waiting for answers from the batman. Whizzing through the streets of Gotham in the batmobile he reached his destination.
Barbara's Apartment
Upon arriving at the apartment he could feel it in the air, something definitely wasn't right. The door was covered in police tape registering no access to the apartment but of course that didn't stop batman from walking through it. Once inside he flicked on lights…...nothing came on, he began going into his detective mode.
There wasn't really too much out of place, it was if nothing occurred there until he noticed something near Barbara's window walking towards it he could see deteriorated vines. The smell they carried were an all too familiar smell, Instantly "Ivy" he thought. After making this discovery and coming to an conclusion he contacted Jim on his innercom.
"Jim you there?" he began
"Yeah what'd you come up with?" said Jim
"I came across vine like substances in Barbara's room, analyzing them further a particular pheromone was emitting from them…...an all too familiar one" said Bruce. Making him talk about the subject made him think of Ivy and how'd she always try to seduce him during their encounters, it'd always be a challenge for him trying to resist her beauty. He remembered the last time they fought and how she kissed him but only to his surprise he didn't die from it.
"So who do you think is behind the kidnapping?" said the commissioner snatching Bruce out of his thoughts.
"Idk I'll have to do some further Investigations, I'll let you know what I come up with" said Batman
"Alright keep me posted" Jim said in rushly manner.
Batman knew who'd done it he figured Gordon was better off not knowing who'd done it, he didn't want to give him anymore of a reason to worry. Finding the Green beauty would be the hard part, Ivy wasn't the type to draw attention to herself unless she wanted it and trust me you'd know. Only one person could give Bruce the answers he was looking for, Harley Quinn was her name the joker's "sidekick" and also Ivy's best friend, He was sure she was locked up in Arkham.
"Time to go pay a visit" he said jumping back into the batmobile speeding off.
Arkham Asylum
Arkham Asylum sat on the outskirts of Gotham, it was home to some of Gotham's notorious criminals such as Killer Croc, Scarecrow, and The Joker (Who recently escaped). Batman hated seeing the place it made him quiver on the inside probably because he was responsible for half of it residents that resided there.
"Good evening Batman what brings you here" said a guard
"Harley Quinn, where is she" he replied
"2nd floor cell A3" said the guard
Arkham had been through some remodeling due it's lack of security (to many breakout attempts). No longer was it separate buildings with different cell blocks. Instead it was just one big building with 10 floors that extended underground. Criminals like The Joker had to be detained at the bottom of the Asylum mainly because he was a higher risk to the public but not Harley Quinn, she was viewed as your average criminal. Batman got on the elevator he observed the inside of it, claw marks and dented walls made their home there very obvious that someone tried to escape. The hallway was dark a light blinking on and off as he made his way through before stopping at Quinn's cell.
"Harley!" he said in his deep voice
The blonde was carving the walls with a plastic spoon she had sharpened, she stopped instantly when she heard the voice of the man that put her there.
"B-man!" she said in her high cheery voice "what brings you here bats did you miss me" she continued.
Batman squinted at her "No" he replied
"Awwwwww that hurts B-man I missed you" her voice still high and cheery.
"Where's Ivy" the irritation in his voice showing more as there conversation progressed.
"Wouldn't you like to know" she said while giving him a wink.
"You're her best friend, you know something" he answered back
"I don't know what your talking about bats" Harley knew the answer he was seeking but she loved getting under the dark knights skin it gave her satisfaction.
"Enough with the games jester" he barked back
"Red could be anywhere what makes you think I'd know I've been locked up here for the last 3 months thanks to a certain bat" she snarled in response
"I don't have time for this" finally at his limits with her insolence.
"Good luck finding her B-man" Harley said in her cheery voice.
There were no more leads to go on, he'd hoped that Harley would give up some type of information regarding Ivy's where about's but he was a fool for thinking she would. Bruce made his way home "I'll continue this tomorrow night" he thought to himself. He was now home gazing up at his ceiling, the moon reflecting of it shedding some light into the darkness that was his room. "Where was the Crimson haired beauty" his last thought of the night.
