The mystery girl had run back to the abandoned Joke Shop, she looked around her vibrant blood red hair swinging around her shoulders seeing that the coast was clear she slipped through the door to be greeted by Poison Ivy.
"Good you're back, did you get them?" Ivy asked eagerly, the girl handed her the sack filled with priceless jewels and Ivy squealed with glee.
The young girl took off her cloak revealing her clothes to be made of leaves almost identical to Poison Ivy's, the only difference being that she wore deep green tights under her dress of leaves and brown boots that stopped at the ankles. It was then that Ivy noticed the young girl's battered appearance.
"Oh child, what happened?"
"Young Justice." The girl replied with a quiver in her voice that went unnoticed by the older red haired woman. "I poisoned the young one, Robin." The quiver got slightly louder but still went unnoticed by Ivy who sat thoughtfully on her throne.
"Yes they seem to be becoming a problem for us, never the less we're almost done just a few more things and it'll be ready." Ivy leapt off her throne with grace and took a couple of steps back and thrust her hand out, the throne began to disappear.
In its place stood a machine half completed, it was a large as the throne and caught your eye just as easily. Ivy grabbed the largest diamond from the sack and placed it on top of the machine which grabbed it immediately and locked it away.
"What about the sidekicks?" The girl asked warily, Ivy turned, the leaves on her body flowing with her.
"We just have to get rid of them one by one." Ivy cracked a vicious smile, her pearly white teeth glowing.
Aqualad held the unconscious Robin in his tattooed arms, his breathing was slow and the whole team was worried for him. After Miss Martian's discovery Robin had quickly passed out and they had rushed off back to Mount Justice immediately.
Black Canary was in the 'living room' of Mount Justice waiting patiently for the team to return, she turned her blonde hair swishing gracefully with her as she heard the alarm system calling their names and numbers individually. At once she knew something was wrong, Aqualad was the first to reach her and he held Robin in his arms.
"Kid contact Batman immediately, Aqualad come with me, the rest of you stay here." Kid Flash ran off and Aqualad and Black Canary disappeared to the infirmary leaving the others to feel helpless.
The Dark Knight arrived not long after Kid Flash had contacted him, he swept past the sidekicks and went straight to the infirmary, the team watched after him as his black cape swept around the corner.
When Batman arrived in the infirmary he was startled to see his sidekick hooked to wires that were connect to the machine monitoring his breath and heart rate. It was a sad sight and Aqualad felt beyond sorry for his friend, anger rose up in his thoughts, he'll make that girl pay, for Robin.
"What happened?" The Dark Knight demanded as he came to his senses, whether he meant to or not Aqualad brushed it of and began to explain.
"We arrived at the jewelry store and the thief from the other robbery's was there, she sent vines after us again and Robin separated himself from us. When the vines stopped she vanished but we saw what happened, she kissed him then ran. All of a sudden he dropped to the ground and passed out, Miss Martian said he was poisoned by a kiss." As he said the last words both Black Canary and Batman froze, Aqualad eyed them with suspicion.
"Batman…" Canary started but he cut her off.
"I know, it's Poison Ivy." He looked solemnly at his sidekick and adopted son. "She's back."
The door to the Joke Shop cracked open with a squeak and two figures slipped inside hastily, one male and one female. They headed to the center of the dark and dreary room, they were beginning to regret coming and for good reason too when a childish echoing laugh bounced off the walls around them.
"Mistah J are ya sure this is tha' right place." A femine voice called to her partner.
"Yes I told you already, we're expected no hush up." The voice snapped back as the owner of the voice looked warily into the dark shop, his moppy green hair falling messily into his face giving him a psychotic look.
Suddenly vines wrapped around the villain's ankles and hoisted them into the air, they cried out with a mixture of surprise and anxiety and the echoing laugh erupted again just as another voice called into the darkness.
"Relax child, they're guests." Ivy called to the girl.
Ivy waved her hand and the plants around her started to glow illuminating them Joke Shop. The villain's looked abruptly in alarm to Ivy who still maintained her gaze on the girl, who stared at the two villain's struggling with the vines across their feet.
"Welcome Joker, Harley." Ivy greeted them.
The Joker and Harley Quinn fell to the ground as the young girl released them. Joker got up and fixed up his purple suit readjusting the flower on his left shoulder. Harley got up rubbing her head and making the bells on her outfit jingle annoyingly. Joker nodded in greeting to Poison Ivy but sneered menacingly at the sight of the red headed girl who looked alarmingly like Ivy herself.
"What do we have here? Another sidekick?" He spoke walking towards Ivy and the girl who glared daggers at the maniac advancing towards her.
"Little young don't you think?" He let of a cackle of laughter in which Harley followed suit, the young girl clenched her fists and Ivy watched the scene play out amusement dancing in her green eyes.
"What do they call you Toxic Shrub?" He howled in laughter again until vines wrapped around his body and covering his wide smiling smile. Harley looked in alarm at her partner but stayed where she was.
"Mistah J?" She called and gave a little squeak as the red headed girl raised her hand threateningly at the masked villainess.
"I am no sidekick, I am a villain and my name is Black Violet." She spat and released Joker who gave a grunt in response.
Ivy clapped her hands together in glee, Black Violet smiled in response. Joker looked cautiously at both of the red heads, yes he was definitely regretting coming. Ivy called out to them all, her melodic voice booming through the Joke Shop and making the plants vibrate.
"Now that, that's settled let's begin…" She flung her arms out and the doors slammed shut, the window of the place were being covered by plants of all sizes and every entry way was closed off making sure no intruder could hear her plan.
