After school, Batman went to Ra's al Ghul's training place. He walked in and fought off some ninjas. Ra's al Ghul said, "Impressive work. I'd expect nothing less from you."

Batman walked up to hm and replied, "I'm having a new problem."

Ra's al Ghul lightly smirked and said, "You seem to get yourself into loads of problem, wouldn't you say?"

Batman lightly smiled back and replied, "You could say that. I'm quite the troublemaker. However, I've gotten myself into a real problem."

Ra's al Ghul asked, "What's wrong?"

Batman said, "I believe that Deathstroke's daughter is going to the school and I think she wants to revenge on me."

Ra's al Ghul thought the situation and replied, "That does sound problematic, but not for you."

Batman responded, "But she's trying to hurt me."

Ra's al Ghul casually said, "You shouldn't put too much stock in her threats. After all, you defeated her father, one of the most threatening people in the world. If you could accomplish that, I don't think she'd much of a challenge for you."

Batman replied, "Either way, I want to be prepared."

Ra's al Ghul responded, "Very well then. Let's get to work, Mr. Batman." Batman and Ra's al Ghul spent a few hours working on new attack moves. Batman was determined to keep his strength going and to not let Hugo Strange and Rose stop him.

Meanwhile, Professor Hugo Strange was having a meeting with Rose. He attempted to make several intimidating poses, in order to seem scary. Rose sighed and said, "Stop the corny faces. I'm not scared by cheap tricks."

Hugo replied, "Such a thing would break Professor Crane's heart, but okay. I accepted your proposal to start attending Arkham Asylum, because I was interested in your hatred of Batman. I know you have a vendetta against Batman, and I know why. However, I don't know who the three-eyed person is. Such an eccentric thing intrigues me. Can you describe him in further detail?"

Rose said, "You're amused by the nerdiest of things."

Batman had accused Hugo Strange of the same thing. He had become defensive about it. He stubbornly said, "I'm extremely cool. Anyways, tell me about the eye guy."

Rose replied, "His third eye can hypnotize people, so I'm going to use his power against Batman. Batman's going to be defeated by yours truly."

Hugo had an evil smile on his face, while responding, "That sounds excellent. However, it's important that Batman doesn't meet his demise. He's too fascinating of an opponent, for me to dispose of."

Rose replied, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Strange. Batman will live." Rose didn't actually mean that. She was planning on getting rid of Batman, once and for all.

Over a week later, it was the day of the prom. Batman used the Batmobile to drive to Poison Ivy's house. Batman had seen her house a few times, because he had walked her home before. He parked the Batmobile and got out of the car. Even though he was headed to prom, he was wearing his regular Batman costume. His reason for doing that was to protect his secret identity. A bat costume has never been a traditional prom outfit, but it was fitting, considering what a weird place Arkham Asylum was. Batman walked to the door and knocked on it.

Poison Ivy opened the door. She was wearing a fancy, green dress, her hair was neatly combed, and she was wearing pink lipstick. She had never looked fancier. Batman was surprised by her new look. Batman said, "Hi, Ivy."

Poison Ivy smiled and replied, "Hi, Batman." Batman handed her a rose. She sniffed it and said, "How eloquent. Where did you get this from?"

Batman responded, "Penguin failed to find a use for it, so he thought I should give it to you."

Poison Ivy replied, "That's very sweet." She paused and asked, "Do I look okay?"

Batman answered, "You look amazing."

Poison Ivy blushed and replied, "Thank you."

Batman and Ivy went into the Batmobile. Ivy had never been in the car before. In fact, she was the first person Batman had let into his new car. She looked around and saw how fancy it was. Batman asked, "Does the car look okay?"

Poison Ivy answered, "It's one of the fanciest, coolest looking cars that I've ever seen."

Batman replied, "I'm glad you feel that way." Batman started driving to the prom. Poison Ivy hoped that Batman didn't notice her constant blushing. She was secretly thrilled to be Batman's prom date.

A few minutes later, Batman and Ivy arrived at Arkham Asylum. They got out of the Batmobile and started walking inside. Batman said, "After a few minutes of socializing, I'm going to start investigating. The other Rose might true to attack me, so I'll have to be extra-prepared."

Poison Ivy looked concerned, while replying, "Be careful."

Batman said, "Don't worry, Ivy. That's what I'm intending on doing."

Batman and Ivy went into the prom room. They looked around and saw a few messy tables, a poorly-polished dance floor, and several students doing weird dance moves. Poison Ivy said, "We shouldn't be too surprised. Arkham's never been one of the more eloquent schools."

The Clock King replied, "This prom would of looked spotless, if the other teachers weren't wasting time."

Firefly defensively responded, "I didn't have time for dumb cleaning. I had P.E. today, so I couldn't start polishing the floor, until class was over."

The Clock King replied, "That may be true, but after class, you took a two-hour break. Would you call that a valuable use of time?"

Firefly responded, "Come on, clock-dude. I was tired."

The Clock King angrily replied, "I'm tired of you wasting time."

Harley Quinn walked in, with her arm around the Joker. Harley was wearing a red dress and Joker was wearing a purple tuxedo. Poison Ivy said, "Hi, Harley."

Harley smiled and replied, "Hi, Ivy. Who's your prom date?"

Poison Ivy shyly said, "I'm here with Batman, but it's not a date or anything."

Harley had a doubtful look on her face, while replying, "If you say so."

The Joker noticed that Batman was sneaking around the room, so he said, "Harley, excuse me. I have an important guest to greet." He laughed and started walking to Batman.

Batman examined the table and tried to find something that would let him know more about Hugo Strange's plans. Batman whispered, "If Hugo Strange wanted me here so badly, he must have something dangerous planned."

The Joker tapped Batman on the head. Batman turned around and felt a spilt-second feeling of fear, from seeing Joker's creepy smile. Joker asked, "How's it going?"

Batman said, "Not the best."

The Joker looked amused, while saying, "I'm glad to hear that. I feed off of other people's misery and other unhappy feelings. I find it charming." He did a crazy laugh.

Batman sternly replied, "Leave me alone, you scummy person"

The Joker pretended to look offended, while saying, "Scummy? I'm a high-class person." He saw Talia walk by, wearing an eloquent, purple dress. Joker winked at Batman and started following Talia.

Batman snuck out of the prom-room and started sneaking into Hugo Strange's office. He figured he better search the room quickly, before anybody found out he was in there. He found a file, so he opened it and started reading it. The file was full of papers, which were about Hugo Strange's previous careers.

Before Batman got to read much, Professor Crane walked in and creeped behind Batman. He said, "Greetings, Mr. Batman."

Batman was a little nervous about getting caught. He said, "Um, hi Professor Crane. How can I help you?"

Professor Crane replied, "You seem to be helping yourself, by checking out things you shouldn't." He grabbed Batman and said, "Come with me."

Batman asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Professor Crane explained, "Since Hugo Strange keeps interrupting my classes, I don't get enough time to scare you. You're going to be in my classroom, for a majority of the prom. I'm going to try several types of fear toxins on you." He did an evil laugh.

Meanwhile, Rose and Spellbinder walked in. Rose was wearing a red/black fighting uniform and Spellbinder was still wearing his regular red -uniform. Rose started searching around for Batman.

Rose found Poison Ivy. She had a menacing glare on her face, while asking, "Where's the Batman?"

Poison Ivy nervously answered, "He went into one of the other rooms, but I don't know which one."

Rose nudged Spellbinder and said, "Follow me." Spellbinder nodded and they started walking around the hallway. Rose saw that the lights in Professor Crane's room were on, so she burst inside and saw Batman.

Batman was a little afraid about being confronted by Rose. However, he had done lots of training, so he tried to keep his confidence.

Professor Crane was angry about constantly being interrupted. He shook his fist at Rose and said, "Get out of here." Rose kicked him to the ground.

Rose pointed her sword at Batman and sternly said, "You're coming with me."

Batman replied, "I don't think so."

Rose signaled to Spellbinder, to hypnotize Batman. Spellbinder used his hypnosis on Batman, while saying, "Follow us."

Batman started obeying Spellbinder's command. It looked like he was in a trance. He reluctantly started following Rose and Spellbinder.

Rose said, "Let's go behind the school, next to the dumpster."

Spellbinder sarcastically replied, "Wow, sounds like an eloquent place." Rose angrily growled at him and she started walking there, along with Spellbinder and Batman.

The three of them went outside. Rose had already told Spellbinder, what she wanted him to make Batman do. Because of that, Spellbinder was ready. He said, "Batman, get on your hands and knees." Batman started sitting down, while obeying the command.

Rose finished sharpening her sword. She looked at Batman and said, "You're going down."

Spellbinder said, "Batman, allow Rose to end you. Don't fight it. Just enjoy the last moment of your life." Batman tried to fight back, but he was still under Spellbinder's hypnotic control.

Rose said, "Batman, you took away my father's life. You could consider this revenge, maybe even vengeance, but I consider it fairness." She grabbed her sword.

Thankfully, Poison Ivy came outside and saw what was going on. She jumped on Rose and made her drop the sword. Rose angrily said, "Get off of me."

Poison Ivy sternly replied, "No, you can't take Batman's life."

Hugo Strange peeked his head out the door and started watching what was going on. He whispered, "How fascinating. Batman's in one of his most perilous situations. I just hope that Rose and eye-boy don't destroy Batman. He's too compelling of an opponent, for me to lose."

Rose asked, "Why would you defend him?"

Poison Ivy said, "He's one of my best friends."

Rose clapped and replied, "Congrats to you for being friends with a monster." She pointed her sword at Ivy and used it to cut a few pieces of Ivy's hair off. Rose said, "I can do far more damaging things, so stay out of my way."

Poison Ivy kicked Rose and said, "Batman's not the one who's behaving like a monster."

Rose replied, "You seem to have a lot of loyalty to this bat-person."

Poison Ivy responded, "I care about him."

Rose replied, "Aww, how un-precious." She kicked Ivy to the ground. She walked over to Batman and was about to stab him. However, Ivy kicked Rose. Rose accidentally flung her sword into Spellbinder's third eye. Spellbinder screamed in pain, while his hypnotic powers started fading away.

Batman was free from Spellbinder's control, so he stood up and said, "The action is over."

Spellbinder replied, "It is, at least for me." He stared at Rose and angrily said, "You destroyed my third eye, removing my hypnotic powers. You ruined everything."

Rose gulped and responded, "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to do that."

Spellbinder replied, "I don't care. You were trying to get revenge on Batman, but I'm going to get revenge on you." He grabbed Rose and started running off with her.

Batman looked at Ivy and said, "I'll get them back." He started running after them.

Spellbinder ran to the cliff, that Deathstroke fell off of. Rose nervously asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Spellbinder said, "This is the place, where your father met his demise. That makes this a fitting place, for your finale." He threw her off the cliff.

Batman instantly used his grappling hook to get her. He failed to save Deathstroke, so he was prepared to avoid making that mistake again. Thankfully, his grappling hook was able to pull her back on the cliff.

Batman looked at Spellbinder and said, "This game is over. You're no threat without your powers." He punched and kicked Spellbinder, who fell to the ground and passed out.

Rose had a confused look on her face, while asking, "Why did you save me? I was trying to destroy you."

Batman looked back at her and replied, "That's true, but I believe in saving all people, even the corrupt ones. Deathstroke's demise was an accident and frankly, it was his own fault. You go on and try to follow in his evil footsteps or you can get out of his shadow and be your own person."

Rose felt confused about what to do. She spent a few minutes thinking about the situation. She started realizing her father wasn't someone she should try to imitate. She also realized if Batman saved her life, he wasn't a bad person. She sighed and said, "I really messed up. I thought you were the enemy, but I'm my own enemy. I didn't want to pick sides between good and evil. I don't know what I'll do in the future, but I know it won't be evil."

Batman shook hands with her and said, "I'm glad to hear that."

Rose grabbed Spellbinder and said, "I'll take this scoundrel to the police. You should get back to the prom." Batman nodded and started running back.

After getting back to the prom, Batman bumped into Hugo Strange. Batman sternly said, "You need to be careful, when it comes to your plans. Rose almost ended my life, which would put an end to our rivalry. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?"

Hugo answered, "Of course not. Despite how intrusive you are, I couldn't ask for a more captivating opponent. I'll be more careful." Batman rolled his eyes and walked away from him.

Poison Ivy walked to Batman and nervously asked, "Are you okay?"

Batman said, "Yes, Rose forgave me and I defeated Spellbinder." Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. Batman said, "I owe you a lot. You saved my life."

Poison Ivy hugged him and replied, "You're welcome. I couldn't lose you, I just couldn't."

Batman gently responded, "Don't worry, I'm here for you. All of the antics are over."

Poison Ivy stuck her hand out and asked, "Then may I have this dance?"

Batman smiled and said, "Yes." Batman and Ivy started dancing with each other.

Meanwhile, Harley looked around and saw Joker kissing Talia. Harley angrily asked, "What are you doing?!"

The Joker nervously smiled and said, "Being the clown prince of romance."

Harley punched Joker in the stomach and replied, "We're through. I should of listened to Ivy's warnings."

The Joker said, "That's fair."

Talia angrily glared at him and said, "You had a girlfriend and didn't tell me?"

The Joker casually answered, "More or less."

Talia punched him to the ground and said, "You're awful." After Talia walked away, Joker got up and started flirting with Catwoman.

Batman and Ivy finished their dance. Batman looked at her and said, "Thank you, for saving me. I couldn't ask for a better person, to be at prom with."

Poison Ivy couldn't hold in her feelings any longer. She said, "Batman, I love you. I don't in what way, but my heart knows it wouldn't be complete without you."

Batman replied, "I feel the same way. I love you, too." Poison Ivy was about to give Batman a kiss on the cheek, before stopping herself and kissing him on the lips. Batman couldn't believe it, but he enjoyed the prom.
