Barbara and Helena went to a seafood restaurant that was very popular in
New Gotham. It was full of people, but was comfortable. They sat at a table
far from the entrace. They had a good time talking about many things.
Barbara realized that she didn't feel that Helena was under stress in the
last days. They were eating a cake and Barbara thought was the perfect
moment to talk with her.
"Helena... Now do you think could tell me what was bothering you?"
Helena bit her lip and lowered her head. "Is it necessary that we talk about that?"
"You don't want to?"
Helena shook her head.
"Okay, I respect your choices, but, I would like you to know that I'm your friend."
"You don't need tell me that. I know it. I'm sorry, sometimes I'm unfair to you." Helena muttered-
"Hel, it's normal that we sometimes do or say things that later we can regret." Barbara opened up to her "I hope this would be a good lesson for you. Think before you speak. You can easily hurt other people."
"I hurt you" Helena avoided Barbara's eyes,looking ashamed "Anything I said would be enough to apologize to you... I'm sorry, really, I never wanted do that."
"Hel, it's okay, just think before act. Think about the consequences of your acts, what may be dangerous for you. I don't want to see you hurt, and talk to me anytime that you want."
"Well, good night!" the front door of the restaurant opened and four men walked in the restaurant. "I see many people here, good time for contributions." One of them said and they began to walk between the tables.
Barbara grabbed Helena's hand when she tried to stand up. "Wait. First watch, there are two men down stairs and two more up on this level. Two downstairs have guns. Remember always wait for the best moment to attack." Barbara took a piece of her cake and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, this is really good.!"
"Okay, and when it will be the right time to attack?"
"When you take out the guy on the left, downstairs with the gun. You need to move quickly. "
"And the second one?" Helena asked.
"You leave him to me." Barbara smiled.
Helena nodded and put her coat. She bend down and moved faster down the tables to the men on the left side. Barbara watched her.
"Good night ladies and gentlemen!" a female voice made her turned her face to the front door. She opened her mouth in amazement. Posion Ivy was there "We can do this faster with your help, I need your contributions to help to save this word. Everything is accepted, watchs, jewelery, money."
Barbara looked over to Helena to stop her when one of the henchmen stood up in front of her. "Okay lady." He said pointing a bag in his hand "Your contribution here."
Helena in that moment jumped over the man with the gun and kicked away his rifle.
"Here?" Barbara took out her stick and hit the henchman harder on the face and on his crotch. She saw the second man with the gun pointing Huntress, she used one of the plates of the table as a batarang. She threw it to the henchmen and hit him on the hand making him drop the gun. The waiters help to inmobilize the other henchmen.
Poison was surprised by the fast movement in front of her eyes. Huntress stood up in front of her.
"What is she doing here? Watch out Huntress." Barbara said to her self knowing Poison was a very dangerous enemy.
"Who ever you are, this is over" Huntress said.
"Oh, the annoying girl." Poison smiled "It's over for you." Poison clapped her hands. The kid walked toward her. Suddenly she felt that something grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back. Barbara looked surprised that the plants around the restaurant were moving and had grabbed her and some of the waiters too. The people stood up and began to run to the exit screaming.
Huntress was quickly inmobilized by the plants. She fought against them but it grabbed her arms too and pushed her against the floor heavily. "Damn!" she groaned.
Poison walked toward Huntress who couldn't raise her head because the plants held her face down. She just could saw Poison's shoes.
"Bad moment to be a hero, girl." Poison said.
"Bitch, who are you?" Huntress grumbled trying to release herself.
"That is the same question that I was going to ask you."
Barbara looked around and took one of the serving metal platters, she threw it over at the glass plate of the fire alarm. The other one pushed the button and the sprinklers turned on and began to shower water all over the place. The alarms turned on too.
"Shit! Cold water!" Poison mumbled. "Time to go Huntress, I'll be close to you. And the next time you wouldn't be so lucky." Poison ran to the exit.
Barbara turned to look for Helena. She was struggling on the floor, trying to release the branchs of the plant that held her against the floor. One of the waiters took off a fire axe and bagan to cut the log.
As soon as they cut the log of the plant that restrained Huntress, she stood up quickly. She was really annoyed "Damn plant!" she shouted kicking the large flowerpot. She ran to the exit but as soon as she was outside she felt cold. She was all soaked and outside was snowing. Immediately she re- entered the restaurant.
"I hate cold water" Huntress walked over to Barbara while rubbing her arms. "Cat's always hate cold water." A waitress had gave to Barbara a blanket to cover her self and Barbara gave her another one that she had in her lap. "Brrr!" Huntress trembled, "Who is that woman?"
"Poison Ivy, I don't know what is she doing here."
"Poison Ivy?"
"Why did she call you by your code name 'Huntress'? Where did you meet her?" barbara looked the brunette.
"It's the frist time in my life that I have ever seen her." Huntress said. "Who is she?"
"I'll explain it to you on the way to clock Tower. It's time to go. We need change out of these wet clothes."
"She ruined our night!"
"It always happens when you are a crime fighter, soon you will be accustomed to it." Barbara called one of the waiters to ask for the Hummer from the valet parking.

Poison Ivy walked in circles in her green house. Now she was completely sure that those young woman had a connection with Catwoman, her worst enemy. She needed to trap her to find out exactly how to find her. They ha (Finish this sentence Jag) * * * Next morning Helena opened her eyes, she was in her bedroom covered by many blankets and bedspreads. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. It was 12:30 PM, she would like stay in bed all day but she knew that was impossible. She stood up and went to take a bath.
Barbara was sitting in front of Delphi's wearing pants and a white sweater. Helena walked in with a red one.
"Hey, Good afternoon young lady, for a moment I thought that you were going to hibernate all day" Barbara smiled.
Helena sat next to her mentor. "Oh, we went to sleep late last night. Did you find something?"
"Yes" Barbara opened some screen windows "Poison is a woman that lives a life consumed by an obsession with eco-terrorism. She makes up for her inability to be a mother by playing the role of guardian and protector to the things she loves most in the world...plants. She is cold and unfeeling, however, to the suffering of mankind."
"She had dedicated her life to protecting the natural world that has no way of protecting itself from money-grubbing businessmen."
"A woman obsessed with plants? Did you fight with her?"
"Some times, but most your father."
"Call him just Batman, okay?" Helena grumbled.
Barbara raised her brow "Okay, Poison Ivy, as her name implies, has a great love and unmatched appreciation for flora. With her vast knowledge of dangerous plant-derived chemicals and plant mutation, as well as her ravishing beauty and seductive feminine wiles, she victimizes wealthy men who are involved in the destruction of the plantlife in her city and around the world. It is her passion and her maternal instinct for nature that drives her to commit remorseless acts of eco-terrorism."
"What she was doing in that restaurant?"
"She was searching for funds because she is planning something. Her only friend is the Joker's number-one henchgal, Harley Quinn. Together, they often reek havoc throughout the streets of New Gotham."
"Harleen Queen?" Huntress leaned next the computer.
"Another criminal, the girl friend of the Joker." Barbara sighed remembering the Joker. "I dont know what she is doing in New Gotham. But she had planned to attack that restaurant. The manager told me that those plants had been a gift from an anonymous client last week. And it was a very strange plant, not common in America."
"I have a friend that works in a green house, maybe she could help us."
"Yeah, I think it will be a good idea if I bring some samples of the plant, you could take one to her."
"Okay I'll go later." Helena yawned again.
"No, you need let it go for now." Barbara said to her.
"Why?" Helena looked at her.
"Don't you remember what day it is today? Christmas Eve, the 24th of December. You promised prepare the beef."
"Oh God!" Helena slapped her forehead "I forgot that I need go out to buy the beef."
"Alfred figuredt that you would forget it, so he will let you in the kitchen, all the ingrdients are ready to cook." Barbara smiled moving her head. "He will be gone for two days to be with his family that came from Englad to be with him."
"I'm glad for him."
"Me too, now hurry up, you don't have a lot of time."
"Helena... Now do you think could tell me what was bothering you?"
Helena bit her lip and lowered her head. "Is it necessary that we talk about that?"
"You don't want to?"
Helena shook her head.
