I'm back! Did you miss me? Admit it, you missed me. Anyway, I don't know what date this chapter was released, but at least it wasn't long for you guys. Anyway, like I mentioned, in this chapter, Danny meets the infamous Poison Ivy. How will it go? Just find out.

Chapter 5: Touch of Ivy

Robin released a breath of relief as he wiped the sweat off his brow as he defeated a small gang of smugglers, tying them up and hanging them on their feet.

"Robin to Batman, smugglers are taken care of," he said through his communicator.

"Nice work," Batman said. "Continue on to the rendezvous point. Batman out."

Robin nodded before grappling to the ceiling, jumping through the hole on the roof. It's been a week since Batman had his 'talk' with Ra's, so everything was back to normal, though he met Maddie Fenton, aka the Ghost. She was nice, but was weird whenever she and Bruce were alone.

Nightwing returned to Bludhaven, but they sometimes talk whenever Danny has some questions. Danny had also talk with Red Hood, but the guy still won't meet Bruce.

Aside from that, nothing changed much. He and Cassie trained to become better, and would sometimes hang out, with her showing him around Gotham. She seems to enjoy it when the two of them spend time together.

As he jumped on the buildings, he scaled on a brick wall. He suddenly spotted something on the wall, causing him to stop.

"A…dahlia?" he said, looking at the small, black flower. He was always fascinated by plants, seeing how they can grow taller and stronger, despite all the harsh conditions. But he could see that the small flower was barely holding on.

Robin gently plucked the flower off the wall without damaging it, placed it in his utility belt for safety, before he continued climbing the wall, where Batman and Batgirl were waiting for him.

"What took you?" Batman asked as Robin walked towards them.

"Had to save a kitten from a tree," Robin said with a shrug. "So, anything new?"

"Surprisingly, the rate of criminal activity has lowered this past week," Batman said as he looked at his two protegees. "Aside from the small gangs, not much is happening."

"Very…unusual," Batgirl commented. "Gotham…usually busy."

"Maybe something happened to them that made them go quiet, for now at least," Robin suggested, crossing his arms.

"Whatever the reason is, we must be prepared for the worst," Batman said before walking to the edge. "Let's go another round of patrol before calling it in for the night."

The two nodded before joining the Dark Knight, unaware that a small ivy was rapidly growing from the cracks of the roof before shriveling.

Later…

Danny was in the back garden, collecting soil in a pot. Once he was satisfied with how much soil he has, he carried it to his room. He placed the pot on a desk near the window before picking up the glass of water next to it, which held the flower.

He gently planted the flower on the soil before putting the water in the small watering can. He then watered the plant. Even though he just planted it, the flower seems to liven up a little.

"There you go," Danny said as he put the watering can down. "Hope you like your new home."

He smiled at the plant before going to bed, ready to retire for the night.

Meanwhile, in the sewers of Gotham, a green, leafy figure walked through the foul-smelling water. He had yellow eyes and covered in green and yellow leaves. He was walking through the sewers until he reached a giant room, covered in exotic plant life, with a lot of human-sized green pods.

"How is it coming, Ivy?" he asked as he looked at an attractive woman with red hair and light-green skin, dressed in a dress made of leaves.

"It's almost done," Poison Ivy said as she looked up from her table full of vials, test tubes, beakers and chemicals. "The Perfect Serum is within our grasp. Soon, this world will be home for plants."

"Excellent," Floronic Man said with a wicked grin. "Soon, no one will stand in our way. Not even the Dark Knight."

Two Weeks Later…

Danny hummed as he watered the dahlia, which was looking healthier under his care. It grew taller and the petals were healthier.

"There you go, little buddy," he said as he finished watering the plant before he heard someone come in.

"So, how is your little buddy doing?" Alfred asked as he looked at the dahlia. "It seems to be growing strong and healthy."

"Yeah, thanks to your advice," Danny said with a smile. "You sure know your plants."

"I don't mean to brag, but I do fancy myself having a green thumb," Alfred said before pulling a small sack. "Here, I bought something for your buddy, a new type of fertilizer from the new flower shop."

"Thanks!" Danny said as he took the sack with a smile. "It'll help it grow healthier."

Alfred watched with a smile as Danny put the fertilizer in the pot before walking out the room. As he walked to the kitchen, he saw Bruce drinking his coffee, getting ready to work.

"Morning, Alfred," he said as the butler took his empty plate. "Have you seen Danny?"

"He's just upstairs, taking care of his new friend," Alfred said as he the dishes in the sink. "I say that he really likes that flower."

"Yeah, I was surprised too," Bruce commented with a smile. "But it's a good way for him to relax after all the work he's done."

"Speaking from experience, sir?" Alfred said as Bruce grabbed his suitcase.

"Well, I have to go to work," Bruce said.

"Have a nice day, sir," Alfred said as Bruce left the kitchen. Alfred then started making breakfast for Cassie and Danny.

Gotham Downtown…

The new plant shop, Gotham Flowers, became surprisingly popular after a week of its opening, and it was thanks to their new fertilizer. It was surprisingly effective, as it can bring almost dying plants back to life. The city was filled with healthy trees and beautiful flowers.

It was like Gotham City was transformed.

Bruce was walking to his office, talking to his many workers as they told him the facts and situations, which he easily replied. They finally dispersed once he gave them their work. He entered his office, and was surprised to see a lot of potted flowers, a gift from Gotham Flowers.

"This is a little too much," Bruce commented as he looked at the closest flower, a pink lily. It was bigger than the average lily. He then put it down before walking to his desk. He didn't notice the lily twitching.

Suddenly, he heard something break. He turned and saw the pot broken, and the lily was gone. He tensed as he heard some scuffling in his office. Moving his hand slowly to his desk, he reached for a pair of electric, brass knuckles. When he got it, he suddenly heard something behind him.

Turning around, he saw that the lily somehow had a body, which the stem as the torso, growing leaves for hands, and the roots as feet. He quickly put on the knuckles and punched the lily, slamming it to the wall, burning it to a crisp.

He looked at the lily with narrowed eyes before he heard some movement. Turning, he saw all the flowers breaking free from their pots, all moving menacingly towards him.

Wayne Mansion…

Danny hummed as he watered the dahlia, mixing some of the fertilizer. He was surprised how much effective it was. He only gave it four hours ago, and already it looked healthier and taller.

"Man, if this keeps up, you'll be a tree," he commented as he finished watering.

As he turned around, the dahlia started moving in its pot before two, small leafy branches grew from its steam, and roots started protruding from the soil.

Danny, feeling something behind, turned around and the dahlia jumped towards him.

Wayne Enterprise…

Bruce panted as he was surrounded by burning flower corpses, his suit torn and a few scratches. Before he could relax, he heard some screams from outside his office. He quickly ran out the office and saw many of his workers being attacked by plants.

He was tackled by a bouquet, the door closing. He quickly punched the bouquet to the ground, smashing them to pieces. He looked at it before picking up a piece. He quickly ran towards a wall and placed his palm it, causing a scanner to appear, scanning his hand. A secret passage opened, and he quickly entered it.

It was a smaller version of the Batcave, in case there was danger when he was in his office. He put on the Batsuit that was in a capsule, before walking to a Batcomputer. He put the piece of killer flower on a scanner before typing some buttons.

"Computer, analyze sample," he ordered as he put on the mask.

"Analyzing," the computer said as the screen showed the piece, studying it, searching for something, before it beeped. "Mutation detected. Multiple chemicals identified and unknown variable."

Batman looked at the chemicals, seeing that it was similar to Poison Ivy's genetic makeup, after her mutation. But for the variable, he's seen it once. If it's him, then it's bad news.

"Computer, search for source of chemicals," he ordered.

"Searching," the computer said as a map of Gotham City appeared. It then pinpointed at a single location, Gotham Flowers. "Source located."

Batman looked at the shop before his eyes widened. He suddenly contacted Danny through the computer.

"Danny, pick up," he said as he waited. The screen then showed Danny, looking surprise.

"Danny, here," he said. "Something wrong, Dad?"

"Stop using the fertilizer, it's dangerous!" Batman warned before he saw the mutated dahlia crawling on Danny's shoulder.

"Yeah…I kinda figured that," Danny said as he petted the dahlia, causing it to purr somehow. "Wait, how did you know?"

Before Batman could reply, the Batwave activated, showing a video of the city being attacked by plant monsters.

"Get Cassie and suit up," Batman said before ending communications. He then ran to the nearest exit, which propelled him to another building.

Wayne Mansion…

Danny looked at his communicator before at the dahlia before rushing out of his room, to the entrance of the Batcave.

"Cassie! There's trouble!" he called as he saw her in the living room, reading a magazine. She looked and saw the dahlia on his shoulder.

"Creature…on you," she said as she prepared to attack.

"Don't worry, it didn't hurt me," he quickly said, raising his hands to stop her. "But the city is in trouble, and dad needs us!"

Suddenly, there was a crash. "Good heavens!"

The two quickly rushed to the kitchen and saw Alfred being attacked by bush monsters. Cassie quickly jumped in, kicking the one monster that grabbed Alfred. She then pulled out a batarang from her sleeve and slashed the monsters in half.

"My word, what happened?" he asked as he looked at the bushes.

"I think the fertilizer you bought did this," Danny said as the dahlia waved at him, causing him to be even more shocked.

"Oh no," Alfred said as he looked out the window. The two looked and saw the bushes moving.

"Danny…go!" Cassie said as she prepared herself to fight. "Help Batman…me stay…protect Alfred."

Danny looked at her and nodded. He was about to run before Alfred stopped him.

"Wait a moment, young master," Alfred said before he rushed towards the living room. Danny waited before Alfred returned, holding a sheathed sword. "You might need this, to do some gardening of your own."

Danny looked at the sword before he nodded. He grabbed it before rushing to the entrance of the Batcave, with the dahlia hanging on him.

Once there, he quickly put on his Robin uniform, strapped the sword behind him and hopped on the R-Cycle. He then drove away, towards Batman's location.

Later…

Batman was busy destroying a legion of bush monsters, led by a tree general, who had a left branch that was shaped like a bludgeon. Behind him were the police, trying to assist him in any way they can, firing at the monsters.

Batman threw explosive pellets on the army, causing it to scatter. He then threw batarangs on the tree general, but it just blocked it with its bludgeon. It then charged, slamming its hand to Batman, who jumped to the side to dodge. Before he could plan, he heard the engine of a motorcycle.

"Excuse me!" Robin exclaimed as the R-Cycle jumped through the police, going towards the tree general. He aimed his grappler on the monster's legs, firing. It attached itself to its right leg, before Robin drive around it, tying its legs. He then drove away from the tree general, causing it to fall.

Batman quickly threw three explosive batarangs, which attached to the falling tree's trunk. When it fell, the batarangs exploded, destroying the tree general.

Robin drive towards Batman, stopping in front of him. The dahlia was still hanging on his shoulder, shaking a little from the trip. Batman looked at it with narrowed eyes, wondering why it wasn't as violent at the others.

"So, three guesses on who's behind this," Robin said as he looked at the plants.

"Two people," Batman said, causing Robin to look at him. "Poison Ivy, and the Floronic Man."

"The plant guy from another dimension?" Robin said, surprise. "That makes sense, I don't think Poison Ivy knows how to do this, without help from him. What's the plan? How do we stop this?"

"I don't have the chemicals needed to reverse the fertilizer," Batman said as he looked at the direction of Gotham Flowers. "We need to get it from the source."

"Guess we're going shopping," Robin said as turned on the engine. As he drove away, Batman hopped on, standing behind the back as he held on Robin's shoulder. He then saw the sword on his back, it was his grandfather's, the one hanging above the fireplace.

They saw a lot of monsters ravaging the city, but luckily, the people of Gotham were hiding in safe houses. Suddenly, their path was blocked by a wall of thorn-filled bushes.

"Hold on," Robin said as he activated the missiles from the cycle, firing from the sides. It hit the wall, but it did little damage. "Okay, what's plan B?"

"The sewers," Batman said, spotting a manhole cover nearby.

"Ah, my favorite part of the city," Robin said in a joking tone as Batman opened it. The two jumped in, and saw that it was worst in the sewers than the city. "Huh, didn't know our sewer turned into a jungle."

The walls and ceiling were covered in vines and leaves, making it look like a jungle. Even the ground was covered in vines. And Robin could have sworn that the vines were moving.

"Be alert," Batman said as he looked at the holographic scanner popping from his wrist. "It seems we found where Poison Ivy and Floronic Man are hiding."

"Huh…really love what they've done with the place," Robin said as he held the hilt, ready to attack as Dahlia looked around, making a hissing sound.

The duo walked through the sewers, keeping an eye on the vines. The deeper they went in the sewers, the more jungle-like it became, filled with larger flowers.

"This place is giving me the creeps," he said before Batman stopped them. Suddenly, the flowers started moving away from the wall, growing arms and legs, growling menacingly at the duo. Unlike the regular flowers, these were man size.

Batman just prepared himself as Robin pulled out the sword on his back. Dahlia just hissed at the bigger plants, hanging on Robin's head. The flower monsters charged at them, roaring somehow. Robin ran towards two before he slid down, swinging his sword, cutting their root legs. He then jumped up and cut another flower giant, cutting it in half. Batman used the talons on his glove to cut the flower giants. He cut three of them before kicking one to four flowers, throwing explosive pellets, causing the flowers to catch fire. Robin was busy fighting off three flowers, unaware of a vine coming from behind him, until Dahlia hissed at it, catching Robin's attention.

He quickly ducked as the vine tried to catch him. He slashed it before throwing birdarangs at the flowers, hitting their necks, causing the flower heads to fall to the ground.

"Thanks buddy," Robin said as he petted Dahlia, causing it to purr happily.

"That was impressive," Batman said as they continued walking. "How did you learn to use a sword?"

"Mom taught me," Robin replied, smiling slightly as he remembered his mother. "She taught me how to fight with a sword."

Suddenly, vines appeared and blocked the way. Before they could react, the vines blocked the other way, trapping them. Flowers sprouted from the vines, causing pollen to spout out the flowers.

"Sleep spores!" Batman exclaimed as he and Robin started coughing. Robin, acting quickly, grabbed Dahlia and put it in his belt. Batman was about to grab a mask, but vines suddenly grabbed them, stopping them from grabbing air masks.

The duo was soon unconscious as the vines parted, with Poison Ivy walking towards them, with giant flowers behind her. She smirked as she snapped her fingers, causing the flowers to grab them.

Later…

Robin groaned as he slowly woke up, blinking. He saw that he was inside a pod with green liquid filling it up, his arms and legs restrained. He looked around and saw his dad next to him, also trapped in a pod and was waking up. He then noticed that there was a lot of pods, filled with villains and crooks.

"Batman, you alright?" he asked.

"I'll live," Batman said as he looked around the place. His eyes then narrowed as he saw Floronic Man. "Jason Woodrue."

"Batman, it's been a while," he said with a sneer as Ivy walked beside him. "I believe you know my lovely partner here."

"Batman," she said with a sneer before looking at Robin. "And this must be the new Boy Wonder."

Robin looked at Poison Ivy, and couldn't help but blush. He was no stranger to the body of women, having seen a lot of naked women as part of his training, so they won't be fooled by seductresses. But there was something about Poison Ivy that made him feel weird.

It was probably the green skin or red hair or her choice of clothing. Whatever the reason, he was avoiding looking at her.

"Aw, what's wrong little birdy?" she teased with a sexy smirk. "Don't worry, I don't bite."

"Enough, Pamela," Floronic Man said. "We have no time to waste to these fleshlings."

"What are you planning, Jason?" Batman growled as he tried to look for a way out. "Why are you turning plants into monsters?"

"I'm not turning them, I am helping them," Floronic Man said as he gestured at the plant monsters. "For years, you humans have abused the plants who couldn't defend themselves, I am just giving them a hand to defend themselves."

"All you're doing is making monsters!" Robin exclaimed. "Plants are supposed to bring beauty and life; all your doing is turning them to mindless destroyers!"

"They have a mind, and that's mine mind," Floronic Man said as he started walking to the exit. "And once Gotham is taken over, the rest of the world is next."

He left with the army of plants, leaving Poison Ivy alone. She then went to the desk full of chemicals. As she worked, Dahlia walked out from the belt and crawled to Robin's restrained right hand. After struggling for a few moments, it finally freed his hand.

He then grabbed a birdarang and used it to cut his restraints, before cutting the pod, freeing him. Poison Ivy turned in shock before she summoned a few bush monsters.

"Stop this now, Poison Ivy!" Robin said as he pulled another birdarang, holding the two like knives. Poison Ivy just narrowed her eyes before she spotted something that made her eyes widen. She suddenly raised her hands, stopping the bush monsters from attacking.

"That flower…" she said as she walked towards Robin as she stared at the Dahlia, never seeing something like it before. "It's so…magnificent."

She held out a hand to Dahlia, who inspected it, before it jumped on. Robin watched as Poison Ivy gently petted Dahlia with a gentle smile, causing it to purr.

"What was that?" Poison Ivy said as she listened to Dahlia. "Really? He saved you? What do you mean? You felt sick because of the fertilizer?"

Robin watched with dumbfounded eyes as Poison Ivy communicated with the flower. The Dahlia then hopped back to Robin's shoulder as Poison Ivy rushed to the table full of chemicals. Robin watched as she looked for something, cursing, before he decided to free his dad before the green liquid fills the pod.

He saw his sword near his pod, so he grabbed it and used it to slash the pod open, followed by slashing the restraints, freeing Batman.

"No, the plants have been poisoned," Poison Ivy cursed. "But how?"

"Jason Woodrue," Batman said. "He's the one poisoning the plants. The unknown aspects from his body made the chemicals that you used for the plants poisonous. If he continues on, then all the plants in our world will be poisoned."

"He must have been unaware of this," Poison Ivy murmured to herself. "I could make an antidote to stop the poison, but it will take some time."

"Robin, stay here and assist her," Batman said as he started walking to the exit. "I'll go and stop Floronic Man."

Batman then ran, leaving Robin with Poison Ivy. He looked at her, looking nervous again, before he looked away.

"So…What do I need to do?" he asked in a shy manner.

"Help me create the formula to reverse the growth fertilizer," she said as she walked back to the table, her hips moving in a way that caught Robin's eyes. He quickly shook his head and followed her. Lucky for them, Robin was knowledgeable about chemicals, so they were making progress.

"Hm, impressive," Poison Ivy said as she watched Robin quickly make the antidote. "You sure now your way around the table."

"T-thanks," Robin said, focusing on his work.

"So, what's your story?" Poison Ivy asked as they finished the antidote. "Did the Bats took you from the circus, or did he find you stealing his car?"

"He rescued me from the League of Assassins," Robin replied, getting a surprised look from Poison Ivy. "If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead, or worst."

"Wow, you seem like a special boy," Poison Ivy said with a smirk as she petted Dahlia, who was sitting on the table. "I can't believe someone who's supposed to be an assassin would take care of a precious little flower."

"Flowers were some of the things that brightened my life in that place," Robin said as Dahlia walked to him. He smiled as he petted the mutated flower. "That's why I don't like what Woodrue is doing. He's turning the plants to monsters."

"He wanted to protect the plants," Poison Ivy defended.

"Plants bring beauty and peace," Robin said strongly. "What Woodrue is doing is turning them into the monsters you fight, Ivy."

Poison Ivy looked at him before at the chemicals and the plants that infected them. Was her hatred to those who hurt her children blinded her to see that she was turning them to the monsters she hated? She looked at Dahlia, a loving creature, something she wanted to create when Floronic Man appeared. She didn't know why it was different from the others, but she knew that Robin had a hand in it. Was it the kindness he showed to the little plant that made it different?

She shook her head, clearing her mind. Jason Woodrue was her ally, a fellow plant lover. There was no way he would hurt the plants on purpose.

"Okay, this should be enough," Poison Ivy said once they finished. "A drop of this antidote, all the mutated plants will return to normal, to destroy the poison.

"You mean Dahlia will return to normal?" Robin asked as Dahlia climbed on his shoulder. As if sensing his sadness, the plant started rubbing its petals on his cheek. He smiled lightly as he petted the flower. "Don't worry, little buddy, I'll still take care of you, we still have your pot."

Poison Ivy stared at the scene before a small smile appeared on her face. If all people were like this Robin, then maybe she wouldn't have become the woman she was today.

Robin then contacted Batman to tell him that they have the antidote.

"Bats, we got the antidote," he said as Poison Ivy packed the antidote in a brown bag. "What's your sit-rep?"

"I'm engaging Floronic Man, but he has me outnumbered," Batman said through the communicator. "Get here, quickly."

"You heard him," Robin said to Poison Ivy. "Let's go."

On the streets of Gotham, Batman was fighting against the legion of plant monsters. Floronic Man just reached the center of the city, where the city's new Rain Sprinkler System was located, created by Wayne Industries in case of a drought, like the one caused by Firefly years ago.

Floronic Man wanted to use the system to spread the chemical formula, to poison the entire city and let the enraged plant monsters go on a rampage.

He managed to contain them on the streets, using a giant truck, but it won't hold them for long. He threw ice pellets to the plants, immobilizing them. Suddenly, a branch snagged his ankle, lifting him to the air as other branches appeared, tying around him.

"You won't stop me this time, detective," Floronic Man said with a smirk as his bush monsters held Batman. "This world will be mine."

"Jason, stop!" a voice exclaimed. Floronic Man turned and saw Poison Ivy and Robin running towards them. "We must stop this! The plants are being poisoned."

"So?" Floronic Man said in an uncaring tone. "The plants were nothing more than muscle. If they die, then they're not fit to live in the world I envision. Besides, if all the plants die, I can always find another dimension to fix."

Poison Ivy stared at Floronic Man with an expression of hurt and betrayal while Robin pulled out his sword, glaring at the man. Suddenly, a batarang attached itself on his chest before exploding. When the smoke cleared, it showed Floronic Man, unharmed except for some burned leaves.

"That actually hurt," Floronic Man said as he looked at the Dark Knight. He then snapped his fingers, causing the bush monster to throw Batman towards a building, crashing through the windows.

"Dad!" Robin exclaimed.

"Dad?" Poison Ivy said in disbelief.

Robin growled before charging at Floronic Man, raising his sword. He slid over the monsters, cutting their legs. He then attacked Floronic Man, but he just caught the blade and yanked it off Robin's hands. He then swatted Robin aside, sending him to the ground.

He walked towards Robin, the sword glinting in the light as he raised it. Before he could slash Robin, Dahlia jumped and grabbed Floronic Man's face, hissing angrily.

"Gah!" he exclaimed as he dropped the sword and tried to get Dahlia off his face. "Get off me you little bastard!"

He ripped Dahlia off his face and threw it to the ground. It wobbled as it stood up, but Floronic Man stepped on it.

"No!" Poison Ivy exclaimed as she rushed to Floronic Man. He simply looked at her before snapping his fingers. Suddenly, the bush monsters restrained her, much to her shock. "Release me, my children!"

"They are not your children," Floronic Man said as he picked up the sword and walked towards Poison Ivy. "They are my soldiers."

He stopped in front of the struggling Poison Ivy, raising the blade. "Such a shame, you were so beautiful."

He then plunged the sword in her chest. Robin groaned as he looked up, only to be shocked. Floronic Man withdrew his sword from Poison Ivy's chest before stabbing a smashed flower on the ground. His mind went blank as he stared at the flower before he lost it.

Floronic Man didn't know what happened. He was just smirking as blood fell from Poison Ivy's chest, before something smashed him on the face, sending him to the truck. He looked up and saw Robin, but something felt different about him. There was this menacing aura around him, and all killer intent was directed at him.

Robin was breathing deeply, growling angrily. All his anger was directed at Floronic Man. All he wanted was to hurt that bastard.

Suddenly, his body moved on its own, charging at Floronic Man. He pulled out some birdarangs and used it as knives, hitting Floronic Man's vital points. The holes were generating, but the attacks hurt him like hell. He screamed as one got in his eye, before it got kicked through his skull. Robin then quickly pick up his sword and spun around, slashing Floronic Man's waist, cutting him in two,

Batman, who was recovering from getting thrown to a window, saw what happened. He too felt that unusual aura, and it seem to make Robin stronger, but also lose control. He watched as Robin walked towards Floronic Man's upper body, the sword glinting menacingly in his hand.

"Robin, stop!" he yelled, causing Robin to stop. "Calm down. Don't do something you'll regret!"

Robin just stood there, unmoving, as if thinking if he should kill Floronic Man or not.

"You're not a killer," Batman said in gentle tone as he walked towards his son. "Now calm down."

Robin just stood there before the aura slowly disappeared. He then turned his back away from Floronic Man as he walked away. Suddenly, the upper torso jumped towards him, intending to strangle him. There was a flash, before Robin sheathed the sword, and Floronic Man fell to the ground, his arms away from his torso. He was still alive, but he won't be moving for a while.

"Ivy!" Robin exclaimed as he rushed to the fallen villainess. He kneeled down and looked at her wound. "Don't worry, you'll be okay."

"No, I won't," she said in a weak tone, grunting in pain. "I've lost too much blood…I don't have much time. Hurry…save the plants, I can feel them weakening…they're running out of time."

Robin nodded and took the bag off her. He looked and saw that all the bush monsters were suddenly moving in a sluggish manner. He then looked at the sprinkler system, but it was too far away. Suddenly, the roar of an engine got their attention. Batman and Robin turned and saw Batgirl riding on her motorcycle.

"Batgirl!" Robin exclaimed as he pointed at the sprinkler system. "Take me there, fast!"

Batgirl nodded as she increased the speed. Robin waited before he jumped and got on the motorcycle. The two sped through the streets, towards the sprinkler systems. Batgirl spotted a car, so she drove towards it, and used it to propel themselves to the air.

Robin used this to jump off the motorcycle and used his cape to glide to the sprinkler system. He landed in front of the system and quickly opened the hatch. He poured the antidote in the tank and turned the sprinklers on.

A minute later, the system turned on, showering the entire city with the antidote. The plant monsters suddenly roared before slowly changing back to normal, much to the people's relief. Robin stood on the edge, looking over the city before jumping off to where Batgirl was waiting for him.

They hurriedly made their way back to Poison Ivy and Batman, where they saw the Dark Knight trying to stop the bleeding, but from his cold expression, it was doing no good. He turned to them, seeing Robin's distraught expression. He walked towards them, kneeling next to Poison Ivy, who weakly smiled at him.

"I can feel…them healing," she said as she gently caressed his cheek. "Thank you…for saving them…"

"I couldn't save all of them," Robin said sadly as he looked at Dahlia. Pain filled his chest as he looked at what remained of his friend.

Poison Ivy noticed his sadness, so with every strength she had left, she touched the flower. Robin watched with wide eyes as the flower slowly healed, until it was back to normal, with the petals turning from black to red, like Ivy's hair.

"Here…accept it as my thanks," Poison Ivy said as she handed the flower to Robin's hands, a small smile on her face. "If only all men were as kind and passionate as you…I wouldn't be like I am now…"

She then closed her eyes. Robin watched as she slowly turned into leaves, which flew to the air. Tears leaked out Robin's mask as he watched the leaves fly away.

Batman and Batgirl just stood there as the artificial rain hid Robin's tears from the world as he gently caressed the flower in his hands.

One Week Later…

Danny smiled as he watered the flower Poison Ivy gave him. It grew larger this past week, but it was still beautiful. He smiled at the flower before he put down the watering can, gently caressed the petals before leaving the room, to train with his dad.

As he closed the door, he didn't notice the flower releasing a faint glow as it grew a little.

I am done! You liked what I did? I got the idea after watching Batman and Harley Quinn. Funny movie. Anyway, Batman finally saw the power that made Ra's wanted Danny as his successor, and Poison Ivy was killed by Floronic Man. But is she really gone?

Next chapter, a distraught heart. See you later!
