Batgirl's head hurt, she could feel a throbbing beneath her mask where she had been hit previously.
How long have I been out for?
She shifted and realised that movement was rather limited, and by limited I mean impossible. She allowed her eyes to open a crack to view her situation, she was currently being held tightly by several vines wrapped around her body. Pinning her arms to her body and her legs together. She was being held in the air as well, she couldn't see Ivy or Freeze so she opened her eyes and looked around.
"Batman?" She asked in a hoarse whisper but there was no reply so she sighed.
Where the hell is he?
"Ah, she wakes at last"
Batgirl looked down as Freeze sauntered in with Ivy behind him, she was looking rather manic at the moment. Her usually neat red hair was sticking out everywhere and her eyes were darting back and forth but they were mostly on Batgirl.
Man, she must be really screwed up now.
Batgirl observed the room carefully, it was obviously some kind of warehouse but that was all she could gather from the disarray. The scaffolding was falling down as were the supports and Batgirl figured a good explosion or shake could take the whole building down.
"You have caused us more trouble than Batman, he certainly trained you well" Freeze told her strolling forwards with Ivy in tow, and Batgirl was lowered down to their level.
"But unfortunately it appears as though the toxin didn't work on you, if it did the plants would have released you by now. How strange" Freeze told her and she frowned. Toxin? Had they poisoned her? Had they poisoned Batman?
"Yeah really strange, now, mind letting me out of here so I can kick your butts and go home? Getting kinda bored" Batgirl replied with a sweet innocent smile and Freeze chuckled, Ivy continued to glare.
"Oh you wont be kicking our butts, no. Batman's butt however…" Freeze told her his voice trailing off as Batman swooped down from one of the shadows above them. How hadn't Batgirl seen him?
"Batman? Yoohoo!" Batgirl called but Batman remained where he was, beside Ivy.
Ivy growled at Batgirl menacingly and gave Batman one order as the plants slowly released her from her imprisonment.
"Kill her"
Batgirl was released so suddenly that she didn't have time to dodge out of the way as Batman's fist came crashing into the side of her face. She stumbled backwards in a slight daze and received a kick to the stomach and she bent over winded.
Damn, need to focus dammit!
Batman came in with a reverse punch to the stomach and Batgirl managed to dodge to the side and crack her elbow into Batman's jaw at the same time, but like some sort of machine he continued towards her like a freight train.
"Snap out of it! I know you don't like me but this is a bit extreme!" Batgirl yelped as she ducked under another jab punch to be kneed in the chin, cracking her teeth together and sending and explosion of pain up her face.
Batgirl fell backwards and bent her elbows, it hurt when she landed on them but she used the momentum to role backwards and kicked upwards into Batman's chin this time and she hoped that it was as painful as it looked. She rolled backwards and ended up in a crouch, keeping her eyes locked onto Batman as he rose either oblivious to the blood running down his chin or not caring.
What the hell? Wait…Freeze said something about a Toxin…and that it hadn't worked on me…
Batgirl didn't have time to continue her thought as Batman flew forwards and grabbed her throat with one meaty hand and pressed her up against the wall. Batgirl gasped for breath and tried to claw at his hand and face but nothing worked, the world was going dark.
Batgirl reached down and clicked open one of the apartments on her new utility belt and gripped the throwing needle tightly before stabbing it into Batman's shoulder, hitting a nerve cluster in a particular point that she knew would sever the nerves in his arm for an hour or so. Plenty of time for her to kick his, Ivy's and Freeze's butt.
Batgirl landed on the ground and kicked Batman's knee, sending him down on one leg, then she struck him straight on the nose with a punch loaded with all the strength she could muster.
"Wake the hell up!" She half screamed in frustration as he tumbled backwards onto the ground, she was tired and her jaw ached. Not to mention she could feel the blood trickling down the side of her mouth.
Batman sat up and looked as though he was about to say something, but Batgirl was thrown backwards by a huge vine that must have been made of wood the way it splintered when it hit her. Batgirl grunted as she hit the wall and all the air was knocked out of her, she went to move but the huge wooden vine cracked against her again and again, and when it finally stopped Batgirl was struggling to remain conscious.
"You. Must. Die" Ivy snarled stepping towards Batgirl and wrapping her hands around Batgirl's throat with a vicious gleam in her eyes.
Batgirl lifted her arms and grabbed onto Ivy's but her grip was weak and already dark spots were dancing in front of her vision. Her arms went limp and they fell down onto the floor and Ivy started laughing triumphantly. That is until Batman delivered a swift kick to her head and then a frighteningly powerful punch to the side of her jaw, knocking her out instantly.
"Batgirl?" He asked crouching down in front of her and pressing his fingers against her neck.
"Yes I'm alive" She croaked weakly and tried to pull herself up but hissed in pain and glanced down at her arm, if it wasn't broken then it was definitely strained.
"Mind telling me what exactly happened?" Batman half asked half ordered her as he reached forwards and took her into his arms carefully, she didn't complain because she was exhausted from her bout with Ivy and Batman.
"You were under some kind of mind control, so I kicked your butt and then Ivy tried to finish me off when you stepped in. Freeze must still be around somewhere" She told him trying not to flinch or hiss every time her arm or any other part of her body was jarred.
"I can deal with Freeze, you need a doctor"
Batgirl laughed, it hurt her throat but she did it anyway.
"If you can survive without a doctor rich boy then I should be fine, sides, I've had worse" She informed him and she might have been imagining it but she swore she heard him chuckle gently.
"Hey, put me down over there, if your done here then I'm heading home" Batgirl told him and he frowned but set her down where she asked, they were outside the warehouse and near a storage crate when Batgirl clicked one of her utility belts compartments and a motorbike drove carefully forwards.
"Looky looky what I got" Batgirl told Batman before swinging her leg over so she was sat on her bike before pulling her helmet on and revving up the engine.
"Are you even old enough to drive that?" Batman asked and she nodded.
"Yeah…in England"
And with that she was gone, shooting off into the night as Batman turned back to the warehouse but not before he called the commissioner.
"Bring a heavily armed guard and some SWAT men, Ivy needs to be watched at all times, Freeze is still at large" Batman told him and didn't wait for a response as he usually would have, he was to busy thinking about Batgirl.
"Maybe the kid isn't so bad…"
