21 Years Ago…

An 11-year-old Pamela Isley sat in her worn down room playing with her chemistry set. She was happy. She knew it was too good to last. Her door swung open to reveal her father, seemingly more drunk than usual.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" he slurred.

"Nothing daddy." She answered the same answer she always gives him.

He stood there and stared at her.

"Where'd you get this?" he asked, picking up the chemistry set. She flinched.

"Mommy got it for me."

He studied it intensely.

"How much was it?"

"I don't know daddy."

He threw it into the wall, shattering it. Pamela got out of her chair and screamed. Her mother came running in.

"Richard!"

She was immediately met with a backhand, knocking her to the ground. Tears were in Pamela's eyes.

"Daddy please!"

"You stay out of this!" he said, pointing at her intensely. She cowered further into her bed. "Get up, Lois!" he screamed, yanking her up by her hair. She wept in pain, tears falling down her cheeks. Pamela watched from the sidelines as her father began hitting her mother once more. She cried. And she cried. And she cried. Then she heard something snap. Maybe it was one of her mother's bones. Maybe it was something in the back of her mind. She charged at her father, screaming, angrier than she'd ever been in her life. She was going to save her mother.

She was met with the back of her father's hand across her face, which was followed by her hitting the wall.

Present Day…

Poison Ivy hit the wall with a thud after being kicked in the stomach by Batgirl.

"Remind me never to pull a heist with you again!" she screamed at Catwoman, who was sparring, more like dancing, with Batman.

"Oh come on! You know we can still pull this off!" Selina retorted.

"Yeah, right." Ivy muttered under her breath as she forced a giant vine to rip itself out of the ground and wrap around Batgirl, lifting her up into the air.

"Batgirl!" shouted Batman.

"I got her!" said the ever-cheerful Nightwing, leaping into the building from the hole in the skylight that Catwoman had cut earlier. He landed on the vine and pulled out a bottle that was probably labeled "Bat-Freeze".

"What are you doing here?" asked Batgirl as Nightwing shook the Bat-Freeze.

"I got Batman's distress call. Don't worry, I'll have you out in a flash." However, before he could spray it he, too, was hit with a vine that had been conjured up by Ivy. He hit the wall and dropped the Bat-Freeze.

Ivy couldn't help but smirk as she ran passed the battle between Batman and Catwoman to grab the bag of jewels that Selina had wanted to steal. She was about to leave, but stopped herself. Honor among thieves she thought with a sigh.

"Catwoman! Let's go!"

"I'm a little busy!" she said, dodging a punch thrown by Batman. "I'll meet you at the rendezvous, just get out of here!"

Obliging, Ivy ran outside. However, she was immediately punched in the face by Black Canary, which knocked her to the ground hard. She lost her grip on the bag and with Canary standing over her, she knew it was over.

"Good to see you, Pam." She barely heard Canary saying as she blacked out.

Soon enough she was being escorted through the halls of Arkham Asylum by Batman. It came as no surprise to her that Selina had escaped with the bag Ivy had lost. After being put in her cell, she quickly huddled in one corner and shut out reality, counting down the seconds to her inevitable escape.

However she found her mind wandering.

I wonder if Harley's here.

She hadn't seen Harley in a few months ever since she and Joker supposedly took a vacation to Santa Prisca. Word was that they were back in Gotham. God, Ivy wanted to see her.

I hope she's okay.
