Disclaimer: I do not own any DC Characters including Batman, Superman or anyone else. They all belong to their respected authors. As for Haley Brown, He's my original Character.
Foreword from the Author: Onto the next story arc. I'm very sorry for leaving you guys hanging on the last one but I enjoy making you guys stressed (Not really). A little background info on Amy or Blue Icicle whichever you prefer. She worked with Haley in this little short I was working on for a website till it went down. I almost got it done before it shut down but didn't make it, ah well. She gave Haley a whole bunch of neat stuff including the fore mentioned grappling hook and the goggles. The two of them worked in Knights Town which I figured was a creepier London type town in the middle of winter.
Amy as a whole was just a character thrown together so I could have a female lead in the story I was writing, soon though like every other character she gained her own personality as the some what stuck up and pushy Tech Genius. Most people loved the chemistry between Haley and Her when they were in action but sadly I never did finish that last story to actually show what happened to the Mafia of Knights Town and Haley and Amy's relationship. By the way Haley looks at the goggles you can tell for yourself so I'll leave it at that.

The
Adventures of Haley Brown
Arc Three,
Part Two: Big Monster Hunter, Haley Brown
Haley glared at the Fly trap as it gnawed on another body part that lined the fountain. So far Haley'd thrown two cans of weed killer at it along with rock salt, the thing was still gnawing on corpses. Amy had iced the fountain over but still no Avail, The Fly trap must've rooted itself far below that and was sucking watter out of the pipes going up to the fountain.
"Alright, I'm getting tired of trying to get past this thing." Amy complained.
"Oh and you think I'm enjoying this?" Haley remarked.
Amy rolled her eyes, "I know you've got some arisol cans or something in that pocket Brown."
Haley reached into his pocket and felt around for a second, he pulled out a large hand of Hair spray and handed it to her, "Alright, I need a safety pin, an egg timer and if you got it, a M-80."
Haley raised his eyebrow, "I know you're like MacGuyver but come on Ames. Let me just get a grenade and we'll move on alright?"
Amy rolled her eyes, "You always do this Brown, rush in using your talents and neglecting people. I should've told you to eat shit and die when you called me."
"Oh we're not starting this over again, not in this crazed ass park with some massive freaking plant whose eaten PEOPLE. You hold that thought, I'll be right back." Haley answered getting up with his hands in his pocket.
Amy frowned in Anger, "Not all of us were handed some great thing like a pocket of infinite space."
Haley yanked out a pineapple grenade and pulled the pin with his thumb, "Hey! Stinky!" The plant turned and looked at Haley, "Yeah that's right, over here you miracle gro sniffing weed."
The Fly trap opened it mouth and shot out a massive tongue like vine that wrapped around Haley's arm. Haley screamed out as he was yanked upwards towards the fountain and the massive plant. Amy had only a second to launch an ice ball at the mouth; not enough time, she fired anyway. The ice ball slammed against the plant shattering into frost and snow. Haley gripped the grenade tightly as the thing snatched his right arm into it's mouth. Haley wiggled around for a second like a fish caught on a hook, Amy launched a larger ice boulder at the plant which caused it to sway sideways taking Haley with it.
"SCREW THIS!" Haley shouted as he ducked his head under his Hoody.
He fell out of his Hoody and landed on the ground, guns in full display now. His right arm was covered in gunk; he wiped it off on his cargo pants. The explosion caught Amy off guard since she saw Haley just get eaten and began to panic like a sensible person would. The plants mouth exploded in a plum of flaming biomatter that rained down on the whole fountain.
"Haley! Jesus are you okay?" She cried running over.
Haley who'd been knocked flat on his butt looked up at her holding his Hoody, which looked like it was in fine condition except maybe for a good wash, with a smile, "Just ginger freaking peachy..."
Amy brushed some plant parts off his close and they both looked at the Plant. The whole head was turned into pieces with a burned stem to top it off. Haley cleaned off the right arm of the Hoody on a bench and put it back on.
"I'M STILL STANDING IVY!" Haley yelled, his voice going through the whole Park.
Ivy's Lair...
"Whats the Matter Isley? You think that Hoody Boy wasn't coming for you?" The Mad Hatter said with a laugh.
"Shut up Simpleton!" She yelled grabbing some equipment and putting it in a case, "I'll be long gone before he gets here, he'll only find you, dead if I feel like it and no Alice."
"Regardless of what you might think, Hoody Boy is not Batman, he's a different kind of Animal all together." The Mad Hatter said with a smile, "And I'd be glad to let him take care of MY Daughter."
"Alice is not your Daughter Tetch! She was mine and you stole her from me! All you did was temporarily clean her mind and give her a name. SIMPLETON!"
The Hatter cared about Alice but what he was doing was stalling her for as long as he could so Hoody Boy could get here and clean house, "Who's the simpleton? Me, the one who almost got away or you, the person who made a deal with a Vigilante!"
"I made a deal with him because I knew he'd find you!" She said dropping what she was doing.
"Yeah but you made the call to break it and now look at where you are! HA! When the people at Arkham hear about this you'll be more of a laughing stock then The Calculator!" Jervis crowed.
A vine wrapped around The Mad Hatter's throat and began choking him, Ivy brought him down to her face to face and glared him in the eye, "I'm going to enjoy strangling you." She whispered darkly.
An explosion was heard off in the distance and it shook the very lair itself, Ivy winced in pain and the Vine choking the Mad Hatter loosened letting Jervis breath.
"I'm still standing Ivy!" Could be heard in the distance.
Ivy gritted her teeth trying to overcome some pain that Hoody Boy must've just caused, "Damn him! I'll rip him apart for this act against mother nature!"
The Mad Hatter hung there by his wrists with his usual large smile, "The kids got spunk, I've never seen Ivy this angry before."
Haley and Amy began walking farther North into the park; Haley had both his pistols out, his gaze was steely like before. A thump shuddered the ground beneath their feet. Amy looked down at a crack at the concrete, another shudder got Haley's attention. The crack split open like a zip lock bag and two hands comprised of vines grabbed the edges. Haley and Amy stepped back, Haley holding his guns out, Amy raising her hand. A massive vine like creature stepped out and without warning whipped a vine right at Haley. The snap sent Haley flying backwards to the ground in a daze.
Amy reared back and sent a ice blast right to the Vine Monster's head knocking it over. Haley rolled over onto his side facing the Monster and raised his guns. Haley pulled the triggers emptying the clips in a matter of seconds, shells raining everywhere. The Monster got up showing no real damage done to it what so ever. The Monster readied to throw another assault on Him. A vine popped out of the ground and wrapped itself around Haley's ankles binding him to the ground. He yanked as hard as he could but to no avail and the thing swung his vines. The razor sharp things raced at Haley who up to the moment wasn't scared.
Amy pushed off the ground as hard as she could in a desperate and crazy attempt to stop it. She came parallel to the things head and gritted her teeth as she cupped her hands together as best she could. Amy fired the ice beam deep freezing the things head instantly. The vines went of course and sliced through a thick oak tree and came down into the ground roughly 7 or 8 feet. Haley had ducked as the thing barely over his head. The Monster wiggled and squirmed attacking its own head to remove the massive ice block. Amy flash froze the rest of the squirming plant to ground and walked towards Haley.
His lip was bleeding, his hair was mussed up a bit but he wasn't too horrifyingly in appearance. Amy smiled slightly and patted him on the back as they looked at the hole the thing made.
"You want go down there first or walk through the little park of horrors?" Haley asked.
"You know where Ivy is?" Amy responded.
"Nope, but I'm going with my gut in saying she's not down there." Haley answered walking up the path again.
"How would you know?" Amy asked.
"Plants hate dark spots with no air, She's still here, but I'm more then betting she's extremely aggravated."
Amy shook her head with a smile, Haley reached into his pocket and pulled out another hand grenade. He pulled the pin and dropped it in the hole and looked back at her with an innocent smile like he didn't do anything, "Can't be too careful."
They walked farther up the path then made their way into the tall grass. The forest like grove in the northern corner was Ivy's hang out from what Haley could remember, hopefully he wasn't too late to save Alice.
Ivy sank to a knee holding her head, her facing grimacing in total pain. It subsided slightly as she looked up from the ground. She didn't have anytime, He wasn't alone, that was for sure now, and they were just outside her door step now. She looked at Jervis who flipped her the bird with that wacky smile of his.
Ivy ran as fast as she could, past her plants towards where she kept Alice. Alice was lying quietly on bed of red roses as Ivy burst in. She grabbed her wrist and jolted her off the bed as she dashed out.
"You should leave her Ivy!" Jervis called.
Ivy ripped off the Manhole cover while tugging Alice along. She knew her plants would be okay and fight to the end. Mentally ,she asked them to begin strangling Jervis and to not stop for anything. The manhole cover was placed back over the hole and Ivy was long gone with Alice.
Haley stood in front of the grove, he pulled the bag he'd been carrying on his back and tossed it to the ground. Amy flipped something on the side of her gauntlet and checked a gauge.
"Ladies first..." Haley said putting his arm out like a gentlemen.
Amy walked past him rolling her and into the grove that contained god knows what. A choked scream grabbed both their attention and the race was on. Haley and Amy made a mad dash into the thick of it ready for anything. Haley pulled his shotgun and fired blowing a vine in half as it came to stop them. Amy froze the ground beneath her and slid over a hole. The path split and instinctively Haley went to the right leaving Amy to the left.
Haley put the shotgun away and finally after thought grabbed the M-4 and cocked it. He raised it up in front of him and started jogging to keep the pace. The path came to the middle of a makeshift lab, Haley lowered his M4 and began to look around for anything that might help him.
Amy stopped when she saw a fat little man getting strangled by vines, his eyes bulging and his face purple. She rushed to him and tried prying the vines off his neck, the things had the grip of a racing tire after being warmed up. She grabbed the vines with her hands and squeezed tightly. Within seconds the vines instantly iced over on the inside and shot icicles out of the middle. The fat little man finally tore the things off his neck and hit the ground wheezing and coughing. Amy helped him up and patted him off. After a few minutes, Haley came around the corner with the M4 slung around his shoulder. Amy was sitting down next to The Mad Hatter like they knew each other.
"Hello Hatter..." Haley said raising a pistol.
Jervis looked up, his eye twitching, "Hello..." He said weakly.
Haley walked over to him and pulled back the hammer aiming it at Jervis's head, "Where is she..."
Amy stood up and looked at Haley almost like a criminal, "Lay off, I found the guy almost getting his head torn off like a Barbie doll. He'll tell us at the police station."
Haley paused for a moment, the gun still aimed at Jervis, He put the gun away and picked him up by the collar, "You better cooperate or you and me will finish what we started in the sewer..."
Amy and Jervis stayed outside as Haley went back in with the duffel bag. He went back into the grove and walked back to the make shift lab. He set the bag down and unzipped it. Inside was a very large amount of C-4 with a timer, Haley turned the dial and began walking back. Amy looked up as Haley walked out with another innocent smile on his face.
KABOOM! The whole park shook like a paint mixer as 10 pounds of C-4 went off, roasting the forest like a bad cook. Haley looked back as branches and leaves hit the ground in a flaming mass. The sirens were heard almost instantly after the explosion, The three of them sat on one of the benches.
Somewhere, Ivy was crying, and this fact was the thing making Haley laugh. He'd get Alice even if he had to tear this whole city apart.
