Queen of Venom
Chapter 3
"Bane, are you shooting up down there?" Lily demanded, Bane almost dropping the needle,
"Not at all-" Bane yelled back, pushing the metal into his arm and injecting ore venom into his veins. Croc flicked his tongue out impatiently, having already taken a dosage. Croc growled, "Shut up." Bane retorted, and Croc huffed, before going up the stairs from the catacombs/bathroom, to Eden. Lily had gone back to the kitchen, and looked over at Croc, as he jumped on her, knocking her to the floor. She yelped, before laughing as he licked her cheek.
"Hey there, Swamp Daddy!" She greeted, and he got off, letting her get up, "You ready for dinner, Big Daddy Croc?" Croc nodded, his tail swishing back and forth. "Well, it's almost done. Go tell Bane to stop shooting up Venom in the bathroom!" Lily said, yelling the last part, before turning back to the dinner, cooking on the little stove in the medium-sized kitchen on the side of the Garden. Croc watched her cook, and opened his mouth wide, looking at her apathetically. "Awe, ok, I guess you can have a little spoonful of the sauce the meat's cooking in." Lily said, and dumped a spoonful of broth into his mouth as he snapped his jaws shut, she tried some herself. "Hm…it's too bland still…maybe some salt."
She reached up and opened a little cabinet- but there was no salt, and she groaned. "Damn it, not again." Bane appeared as she was pulling on a coat, "I have to go to the store again; I'll take Croc with me. Come on Big Daddy, pull on a coat." Lily gently told him, and Croc ran around in a large circle around the Garden, before finding a coat and pulling it on. "Make sure the dinner doesn't catch fire, ok Bane?" Bane nodded and the two left, Croc following her on all fours while in the shadows, standing tall when they entered society. "How did the broth taste, Big Daddy?" she asked,
"Gooood." Croc said, and she smiled,
"Well, I'll give you all the broth in a bowl then, when dinner's done. Here are some gloves." Lily offered, giving him a pair of huge gloves, and he hesitantly pulled them on, "I'm sorry I'm making you wear a coat and gloves, but I don't want you to get caught now." Croc nodded, pulling on a long hat, as they came to the store. "Since we're here, grab a cart, we'll get groceries for this week." Croc went to the shopping carts and tried to rip one out, lifting up 5 or 6 of them. "No, just one." Croc looked back at her, before pulling one cart off and setting the other two down. "On the ground please." He set it down and she took it from him as he hunched over her, "Thank you."
Croc grabbed a few things and put them in the cart, "No, we don't need creamy potatoes mix. I can make potatoes if you want, go get a few bags." Croc shuffled over to the huge bin of potatoes, and picked the whole thing up, "We only need a bag or two, hun, three at the most." Croc looked from her, to the potatoes bin, setting it back down and picking up three bags, before putting them in the cart, following her as she filled it up, "Hm- how about some red wine? It's good for your heart, you know." She put a bottle of wine in the cart and wheeled it to the counter, "You can get one extra thing for yourself if you want, Big Daddy." Croc shuffled away and came back with a bin of sherbet ice cream, and put it in the cart nervously. "That's fine, hun."
"It's you again." Someone said, and Lily looked back, Bruce Wayne, standing just behind her. She blinked, and gently guided Croc closer to the cart. "You pulled a Houdini on me the other day." Lily frowned a little,
"Yes, sorry," she watched Croc wander off through the isles, "If you make a mess, you'll clean it up, right?" Croc nodded stiffly, looking at the products,
"Your brother?" Bruce questioned, and she looked over at him,
"My…Cousin. You only have a few items, would you like to go ahead of me?" She asked, gesturing him forward, and he shook his head, before the cashier began to check Lily's items out and bag them, "Big Daddy, will you help me carry the groceries home?" Lily asked Croc, and he nodded, picking something up, and going over to her, presenting a brownie mix box to her, and she frowned. "I guess I'm a pushover, huh? Put it back, we have a box." Croc trudges off dejectedly, and put the box back,
"So, is there anyway I could get your telephone number?" Bruce asked, "I'd like to get to know you better."
"I don't have a telephone number." Lily said bluntly,
"$278.34" The cashier said, and Lily pulled out her wallet, before Croc pulled out his. Croc pulled out 3 hundred dollar bills, and set it on the counter,
"You don't have to." Croc shook his head at Lily's words, and when she tried to pay, he took her wallet and stashed it in his trench coat. "I guess he'll be paying." The Cashier nodded, and Lily ignored Bruce, the cashier giving the Croc his change, before croc picked up all the groceries.
"You're leaving?" Bruce asked as she pushed the cart back into the cart rack,
"Yes, I'm done shopping, and I have dinner on the stove. Have a good night." Lily said, Croc nudging her forward, glaring at Bruce who shrugged off the look.
"Can I at least get your name?" Bruce asked, and she turned to him,
"I have to get home, bye, Bruce." She said, waving, and walking off, Croc ducking under the doors too-low for him, and following her docilely. When they were in the shadows, Croc shook off the hat, and picked Lily up, setting her on his shoulder as he continued to walk.
"I don't like him. He's very persistent." Lily commented, and Croc growled with agreement. They returned to the Garden and Croc helped put the groceries away with Bane's help. "So- the same guy the other day pestered me again." Lily told Bane, as she salted the meat, trying the brother, "Perfect!" She fed some to Croc's awaiting mouth, and he purred.
"Hm. Maybe he likes you." Bane joked, and she scowled in disgust,
"Eww, don't even say that! He's so stuck up." Lily groaned, "You'll jinx me, Bane, You'll jinx me!" Bane laughed and Croc growled threateningly at the door to the sewer, before throwing himself at the door and barreling down into the lower area. "Croc? Croc, what's wrong?" There were howls and roars from the sewer, and Lily looked pleadingly at Bane, "Go check on him, I'll put the meat in the oven to keep it warm." She told Bane, who ran off and she tucked their meal into the oven. Lily went down to the sewers, as Bane and Croc were wrestling over someone or something. "Boys, this is no time to wrestle!" She told them sternly, clapping her hands.
Bane pushed her into the garden, and vines lashed out, restraining him, but Croc slammed into a wall of the sewers, growling, and thrusting himself back to the area he'd been fighting in- a small silhouetted man, fighting Croc. "Put me down, the Batman is out there!" Bane growled and the vines released him, before he darted out and went against the cloaked renegade once more, as she shut the heavy iron door to the sewers. Lily ran over to a flower and tried to climb in- before falling in with a yelp as Batman came in. The flower closed when his back turned to it, and she stayed still.
"So, this is Ivy's Garden?" He asked, "Where's Ivy?"
"I don't know. It's just Killer Croc and I." Bane said bluntly, Batman looking around, "Where's your warrant, detective?"
"Just…looking…" Batman said, before lifting up a pair of panties Bane has gotten her, and Lily blushed violently. "I didn't know you wore panties like this, Bane." Bane snatched them back,
"My personal life has nothing to do with you." Bane said defensively, and Batman checked the oven while Croc gently poked his snout into the floor Lily hid in. She kissed the tip of his snout, and he pulled back, hissing, before nudging the flower, "Croc!" Croc abandoned Lily and threw himself at Batman in the kitchen, as he opened the oven, almost revealing their dinner.
"Not for you." Croc growled, standing in front of the oven, growling. Batman stood up,
"That's a good smelling meal." Batman said,
"I've been trying out a new recipe." Bane countered, "Leave. We're having dinner." He asked and Batman huffed,
"I know you're hiding something, and when I find that girl, you'll regret hiding her from me." Batman warned, walking off, and vanishing out the front door. Bane locked it, and any other entrance into the Garden, and Croc helped Lily out of the flower she had taken shelter in. Sticky nectar from the flower was all over her lower body, some having even getting into her underwear.
"Mmh- Why was that man here?"
"Looks like Batman wants some of your cookies." Bane said bluntly, making her blush, "You better have no one else's child other than either Croc or I, Lily." Bane told her, and she scowled,
"I'm not having your kids!" Lily yelled, looking at Croc who looked down dejectedly, "No offense, of course." Croc perked up happily, "Ok, um, dinner- get the table ready." Bane and Croc set up the table, as she pulled out their meal, "Oh, would you look at that? It's done." She gave them their portions, and smiled, eating with them. Croc had his own bowl of all the broth and he drank it down before eating his portion.
"Another well-made dinner, Lily." Bane complimented, and she nodded, finishing her portion,
"So, tomorrow, I want to start making Gotham City more earth friendly." Lily said, "Slowly but surely, I want windmills to make the power- it's cleaner, and more efficient. Solar panels should also be in open areas to make up the power, and I want to start as soon as possible, but ease into it, so we don't really bother the companies." Bane nodded, "I can't do anything about the cars, unless we replace them with electric ones." Lily said Croc pushing his muzzle under her hand, and she pets him. Bane scooted closer as Croc began to lick the sticky nectar off her legs and she twitched, "I was- mmh- knock it off, Swamp Daddy." She said, and Bane pulled her into his lap, letting Croc lick her clean from her ankles to her upper thighs. "B-Bane-" She whimpered, hoping he'd stop the reptilian.
"Either Croc or me." He repeated, before she whined and was lifted up and set down away from them.
"I-I'm going to take a bath!" Lily proclaimed bashfully hastily taking her leave. As she undressed, Bane shutting the door behind him. "Bane, please leave."
"Is that what you want?" Bane asked, pulling her over against him as she gasped, holding her dress against her body. His left hand was on her stomach, keeping her against him, his right hand sliding under her dress. She twitched,
"Ahh-!" Lily whimpered, blushing, her right hand holding her dress up and her left covering her face. "St-stop, Bane."
"Don't hide from me, Lily." Bane whispered in her ear, his left hand grabbing the dress and trying to pull it from her grasp, "Unless you want Killer Croc." She shivered under his touch, "Your process is almost over- Ivy was unable to have children, but you should have children. You deserve children, Lily." Bane told her, and Lily looked away from him shyly. He pulled his hand from under her dress, a thin, sticky, translucent fluid between his fore finger, middle, and ring finger on his right hand. He pushed his mask up with his thumb, before licking his fingers, "Amazing," He murmured, whispering in her ear, "Your honey tastes exquisite. Lily's so selfish, keeping it to herself."
Lily squeaked as he picked her up and laid her down on the bathroom floor, "I won't bite…at least, not too much, or too hard. So relax and let me do the work," Bane grinned, lowering his head to her sternum, as she put her hands on his shoulders, trying to push him away.
~O~ Wayne Manor ~O~
"…And I told her, 'how can you bear the shame of walking around in last season's shoes?'. Funny, right? Because she's a fashion wannabe-" The woman babbled as Bruce swirled his wine around in his glass, on the other side of the table. He was bored out of his mind.
He let out a fake chuckled while his mind was really elsewhere. I don't go out with men who have girlfriends. The woman's words rang in his head. Who was that huge, burly trench-coated figure with her? Was that her brother she had mentioned? Where did she live? Why didn't she take interest in him? "Stephanie." Bruce said, and the woman stopped talking at her name, "Why do you like me?" The woman smiled a hollow and fake smile.
"Because you're a good man." What a lie. Bruce could see it in her eyes- she wanted him for his money. What did the woman he pursued want? Nothing to do with him, and cared more for her family than for dating him. It was a stab to his ego, but he thought it oddly attractive. "Brucey-bear?" The woman asked. Would the other girl give him a pet name as retarded and embarrassing as the ones his many girlfriends gave him? Bruce told the woman to leave, and broke up with her, going to the Bat Cave to brood over questions running wild in his head.
"Master Bruce?" Alfred asked, and Bruce sat in his chair.
"Alfred…that girl. I want her, but she constantly rejects and eludes me." Bruce told his butler, who frowned slightly.
"Maybe she has a husband she hasn't told you about." Alfred suggested and Bruce blinked.
"You're right! She probably does, that's why she has no interest in me." Bruce proclaimed, grabbing a coat, "I'm going to go look for her, thanks Alfred." He said as he left the Wayne Manor, a few drops of rain hitting the ground just as he drove off in his Bentley.
~O~ Garden of Eden. ~O~
Lily laid in between the two, on her bed of roses. Bane has long fallen asleep to her left, and Croc was generously licking her thighs clean of the molestation she had just endured. She held hands with them, staring at the ceiling. Her left hand's fingers, she laced with Bane's right hand, and her right hand was laced with Croc's left. They had, mostly, forced such a thing on her. Her left hand was on her stomach while her right rested on her right shoulder, Croc laying back and licking his claws lazily, of the sticky sweet love juices they had extracted for her for their 'dessert'. Croc nuzzled her cheek when he was done, and she released his hand and pet him, before releasing Bane's hand and getting off the bed, almost tripping and falling flat on her face.
When, during the course of that naughty act, did she exchange her clothes for Bane's shirt? It was too big for her- so big, it dragged on the floor, and Croc stared at her, "Could you- get me a coat?" Croc went over and grabbed her legs, licking her thighs some more, and she pushed him off, "No more of that, coat please." Croc flicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a half-bored half-unhappy look, before getting her a coat. She pulled it on and went to the front doors of the Garden, vines following her foot steps and racing out in front of her to make a flower bed path for her to walk on, Croc following her quietly, as she walked outside, standing under the arch between Eden and Gotham City.
Rain fell down upon the streets and structures of the city, and she smiled gently, "Look Croc…it's raining. How beautiful." Lily smiled happily pulling the coat closed and walked out, smiling. The rain drenched her, despite her protective coat, and she smiled, holding her hands out to accept and unseen blessing hidden within the rain. Her body shivered, but she didn't feel the cold. Croc talked over beside her on all fours rubbing against her. She pet him; "Isn't this all nice?"
Croc growled, Bane standing in the threshold, having just woken up. Lily smiled happily, "I love the rain…it's so cleansing." Croc climbed up the rocky wall to their right, and sat at the top of it, before letting out a roar as lightning flashed across the sky. Bane took her hand and gently led her back inside,
"Come on back in; let's get you out of that dress and into something that actually fits you." Bane coaxed and she followed, smiling. Croc stayed outside and pushed the doors closed as Bane locked them from inside. Lily changed behind the protective shades of large flower petals, before coming out in an earthy green dress. "There's a room that you can watch the rain from you know." Bane said, opening an almost unnoticeable door to the untrained eye, to the left of the front doors. He opened it, showing off a small stair case and a little room with windows and a chair. "Simple, but, it works for you, right?" Lily nodded, going up and sitting on the chair, watching the rain run down the windows with a peaceful expression on her face. "We're here to accommodate you."
