A/N: Hey look... an update that should have been posted like three weeks ago... I hope to finish this story very soon and I really hope that it has a good ending for all of the people who are enjoying it so far.

Any way... Rated T for minor cursing, perhaps violence, and some adult suggested themes

Chapter 25: An Attempt

No P.O.V.

The ship is silent as the tea mentally prepares to help Robin and Batgirl. Kaldur seems to be in deep thought and is going over the satellite image of the compound, probably so he can best set up the team to capture all those involved in this scheme. Conner and M'gann seem to be having a telepathic conversation and for once M'gann is the one who is looking upset. Zatanna is fuming in her seat and muttering some sort of magic under her breath in order to prepare and Artemis is looking at her worriedly while she polishes her arrows. Wally and Roy are pouring over the information that Robin sent over.

Wally sighs in frustration and speaks so suddenly that everyone looks over at him, "Gah, I'e worked out what two of the unknown chemicals are but I can't figure out the third and this is so frustrating. That could be super important in the coming battle and Rob could really use this information!"

Kaldur tries to appease him, "Just knowing two more of the compounds is very useful, why don't you tell us what you know so far from Robin."

Wally still looks angry so Roy talks first, "Well Robin sent over that the mastermind behind this is Poison Ivy, a big Villain from Gotham who can control plants and has various pollens that give varying effects. Robin already figured out what two of the chemicals he sent were, an enhanced version of the mid control spores, and an aggression spore that he believes makes females attack males. On the bright side the original mind control cure should work for the enhanced spores. Wally here figured out two of the remaining spores, right Wally?"

He nods and takes a deep breath to calm down, "Yeah, one is to turn males into females like what happened to Rob. The other is basically the same thing, but the original spore doesn't work on adult males so the other spores are an incomplete attempt to make a pollen that would make males aged 18 or more to become females. I just can't figure out the last pollen!" He hits his communication device and it suddenly beeps.

"Is it from Robin? Should we move in?" Roy questions worriedly from beside Wally.

Wally smacks him. "Yes it's from Rob. But it's more information." He skims over it, "OMG! I know what the other chemical is! It has to be the birth stimulant that the new information says!"

"Wait what?" Artemis comes around to look at the communicator.

"Yeah the new info is Ivy's plans. It says that she was training girls in this finishing school to create her weapons and chemicals. She succeed in making males under 18 female but not older so she doses the girls with aggression pheromones so they attack adult males and perhaps slowly make males fear the females. Then she teaches the girls to seduce their way to the top of corporations so that she can ensure that no advancement is made to stopping her spores and weapons. And finally she is working on a way that males can be obsolete in the birthing process so that the world is only left with females and nature. Wow." Wally looks up from the information, stunned.

Roy whistles from where he stands. "Okay, so chem whiz, do you think you could make some antidotes for her spores. I don't know about you, but I want to be immune from her aggression and mind control. And I don't want the girls to attack me because I'm a male. Oh, and you, Kaldur, and Con would be susceptible to the male-female thing. This is going to be more dangerous than we thought."

~~~ An Attempt ~~~

Batgirl .

I blink and don't really remember what I'm doing, but Ivy and Harley are looking at me with smiles on their faces and I want to make them proud of me. Ivy starts to talk and I give her my full, undivided attention. "So, what were you doing down here? Something in my chest twists and I don't want to talk, but I know I have to speak the truth.

"This finishing school seemed suspicious to me. It's in the summer and is barely opened, yet it has a high reputation. The things we are learning are weird and seductive and make me uncomfortable. I was looking for answers to why this place is so odd." It felt so good to say the truth and that icky feeling from my chest subsided somewhat.

Harley smiled, "Sweetie that is so smart of ya. If ya want, I think ya could be a real asset to our plan. Even though ya injured you still did a great job sneaking in here."

Ivy nodded, "Why don't you follow us and we'll get you equipped with some weapons. Then you can really be let into the fold."

I wrinkle me brow in confusion. "I already have a weapon." I take off the side purse that I made in class and wore when I went to investigate. "I made this in advanced mechanics, it turns into an electrified whip."

Ivy and Harley look super impressed and my heart feels warm from that look. Harley gives a huge, crazy laugh, "Ya are amazing. But ya need a long range weapons. We'll get ya gun and then see what happens huh."

I feel cold at the word gun but don't protest, they know what is best and I follow them out of the room.

~~~ An Attempt ~~~

Robin P.O.V.

I hear every word from inside the room and all I can feel is dread. I should have stopped them from mind controlling Babs but there was nothing I could have done that would leave us in fighting order. I only hope that I can fight Babs when the time comes

I watch and Poison Ivy and Harley lead Babs from the room and give her a gun and holster. My heart breaks watching as hey turn her into a weapon for evil. I message Wally to tell him that Harley is Ivy's partner and that Batgirl has been compromised. It's time to take action.

I hack into the security system and ask the team to use heat sensors. All of the students are in their rooms for after dinner studying, but the teachers are roaming around. Wally messages me that he created inoculations for the team so none of them will be vulnerable to the spores. Apparently he was able to find chemistry equipment out here and bring it to the Bio-ship.

Finally I come up with a plan. I lockdown the dormitories. Now no student will be harmed or can attack us. That only leaves a few dozen highly trained and aggressive females to have to deal with, and Babs.

I slip outside the guard house as Ivy and Harley begin to show Babs the best spots to help out the guards. They lead her up to the roof of the mechanics building and I send the message to the team that it's time to put my plan into motion.


A/N: I hope this will tide you guys over until I can figure out how to write an extended fight seen! I really hope you liked it and please remember to review!
