Helena opened her eyes after a few minutes, she looked around, she still
felt dazed and she knew didn't have much time. She closed her eyes and
relaxed her muscles. The vines after a few seconds began to ease away from
her slowly. She suddenly moved her arm and took a knife off of the table
next to her. The plant held but she moved faster and began to cut the
branches of the vines. She fell to the floor and another vine grabbed her
ankle. She jumped and buried the knife into the log of the vine. She killed
the plant and fell backwards, tired.
She looked for the table and and dragged herself toward it. Her vision was blurred, she saw many bottles there. Poison had told her that the yellow one was the universal antidote, she looked for it.
She threw many objects to the floor looking for the antidote. She finally found the bottle and looked for a syringe. She found one and she sat on the floor opening the syringe pack. She was shivering and felt was burning up inside. She slowly filled the syringe with the liquid from the bottle. She couldn't coordinate her movements. She finished filling the syringe and tried to inject her thigh. But the syringe fell from her fingers between her legs. *Damn!* she thought.
With a great effort, she found the syringe and buried it in her thigh. She moved clumsily and her foot kicked the small bottle. It rolled and fell downstairs breaking on one of the steps.

Oracle was dressed as Batgil, she walked in the Green House. The place and the plants gave her an idea about who had been with Huntress. Poison Ivy. She listened to a noise of a glass breaking at the end of the greenhouse, in the stairway. She tried to run but the transponder annoyed her back. She walked and looked up. She stepped up carefully. When she was up. She saw the brunete lying on the floor.
"Huntress?" she shouted. The girl heard her and tried to focus on her and talk but she couldn't see well, all was blurred, and she felt clumsy. She blinked, she saw in front of her the shadow of the mask of Batman and moved her body back. Oracle tried to touch her but Huntress hit her in the face and dragged herself away trying to escape. Oracle crashed against the table. She stood up and went to the kid again. "Huntress, it's me!"
Huntress turned faster and tried to kick her, Oracle stepped back to avoid it. Her voice sounded distorted in Huntress earings and she couldn't recognize her. She could barely stand up and raised her hands in defensive position. Oracle realized that she was drugged and that she couldn't see. "Huntress, listen to me, I'm Oracle."
"Go away, you can't fool me..." Huntress attacked her but Oracle moved faster and threw her against the floor. She twisted her arm behind the brunette's back to avoid Huntress swinging at her again. She struggled, trying to break free.
"Easy, easy Huntress, it's me, Barbara!" Oracle shouted fighting to kept her down, "Helena it's me!"
When she heard her name, Huntress stopped fighting. She recognized her mentor's voice.
"Yes, it's me..." Oracle slowly released her and turned her gently. She looked at the empty syringe still buried in her leg, and took it out. "What is this?"
Huntress moved her lips but couldn't from a word, her tongue was hindering her. "An, an...ti.."
"An antidote?" Batgirl asked worried, the kid nodded. "You were poisoned?" Huntress nodded again. Batgirl took her face between her hands. "God, you are burning up!" She looked around and saw an ice machine that was used to keep some plants. She went over to it.
"I need to lower your temperature." Batgirl put some bags of ice around the girl. The transponder was flawed. Every movement hurt, it became difficult to walk and the pain in her back was growing. Huntress felt great relief feeling the coolness of ice around her. Batgirl covered her with the bags and sat next to her to wait while she recovered and to rest from the pressure on her spine.
"Water." Huntress asked her with soft voice. How Barbara could walk was a good question, but she could ask about that later. Her mentor took a piece of ice and wet her dry lips.
"It was Poison, right?" The kid nodded. Batgirl took off a small object with a needle. "I need to check if that antidote is really working, okay?" She buried the needle and took a small sample of blood.
Batgirl had brought many instruments with her in her belt that she knew wouldl be useful. She pressed a button and numbers and letters and letters appeared on the screen. Huntress began to focus again and examined her costume. It was strange seeing Barbara dressed as a big bat.
"Good, It's working, and very fast." Batgirl rechecked the result on her small device. Huntress sighed with relief. The redhead looked at the plant that was cut in pieces. It was all over the floor and the knife was still buried in the log. She understood that Huntress alone had released her self and injected the antidote to the poison.
"You did very well." Barbara moved her hair. Batgirl noticed that the kid was looking her costume. "It's my old work costume." She explained. "Haven't you ever seen it before?"
Huntress shook her head. "Is it your real costume?" she whispered.
"Yes it is."
"Don't you have... trouble with your... make up?"
"I never thought about make up when I went to patrol the city."
"Well... that was because the mask covered your face, but I need to look good."
Barbara put a pen-like device in her ear. She pressed a button and looked at it. "Your temperature is lowering."
"How... can you walk?" Huntresss began to feel that she was slowlyrecovering her senses.
"We can talk about that later. Where is Poison Ivy?"
"I don't know... she just left me here and split." Helena sat on the floor.
"I have my car two blocks from here. When you can stand up, I'll take you to the car. I need you to help me to get you there, okay?"
"Batgirl? What are you doing you stupid bitch?" Batgirl raised her head and saw Poison Ivy in the front door.
"Don't move, stay here." Batgirl whispered to Huntress and stood up with a great effort to face Poison Ivy. "That's the same question that I was going to ask you."
"What are you doing with her? Do you know her?" Posion walked toward her.
"That's not your problem. What are you doing in New Gotham?" They began to circle each other.
"Recovering my kingdom!" Poison shouted. "Plants, get her!"
Some vines tried to ensnare her but she moved back. She took out a spray and shot it on the plants and they moved back immediately. She took out another small object that threw a length of fire and the plants start to burn.
"Bitch! What are you doing?" Posion Ivy shouted.
"Special insecticide, gasoline." Batgirl smiled. "I think that you need to go back to prision again."
"Try it." Poison charged against Batgirl. Huntress moved her head slowly to where she heard the voices.
The place began to catch on fire. Batgirl duck out her escrima sticks. Poison tried to hit Batgirl but she was agile and kicked her making her fall again. Batgirl bent down feeling a sharp of pain in her back. Poison punched her making her step back.
"Huntress get out of here!" Batgirl shouted as she saw the intensity of the fire increasing. A new sharp of pain make her put a hand on the floor to avoid falling. She bit her lip and moved her hand to her waist. The transponder wasn't working well and it was hurting her. But she didn't have time to worry about that now, Poison charged against her and both crashed against the window and fell to the lower floor.
Huntress saw the fire increasing and shed the ice bags, she stood up slowly and staggered toward the stairway
Poison took a piece of wood to hit Batgirl on her head, but the redhead blocked the blow with her arm and kicked her in the stomach. Batgirl groaned and arched her back, the transponder was causing a lot of pain. Poison charged against her, both rolled on the floor. The fire was running quickly throughout the building.
She looked for the table and and dragged herself toward it. Her vision was blurred, she saw many bottles there. Poison had told her that the yellow one was the universal antidote, she looked for it.
