Foreword from the Author: Well, I worked out an agreement and I can write in most of my classes if I have free time now. As coll as that sounds, I really don't have much time, 10 minutes here, 15 there, maybe 30 if I'm lucky. So far I'm glad I put the Extras into this early, it leaves me open for another ongoing story staring Haley and Amy actually managing this group, instead of just Haley and maybe a guest appearance by Amy every once in a while. Also, don't think Ivy is getting off with out some sort of retribution.

Anyway, getting on a little history about The Extras, I came up with the name a long time ago with a couple of my friends when we where a sort of four man crew of writers with no name. We'd argue over the phone about names left and right. Finally we all sat down on line that night and began trading names, each one sucking more and more. I got bored and started messing around with names that really made no sense what so ever. Finally I sat there and started making names out of the first letter of every sentence. Oddly enough E, X, T, R, A, came out and I put it forward. The other three immediately took this in and accepted it as out group name. The Extras disbanded a while ago but remains on City of Heroes (MMORPG) as a local Super group (Guild in general aspects).

Hoody Boy: Otherworld Stories
The Adventures of Haley Brown
Arc Three, Part 5: "Happy Halloween"

"Haley, I'm very sorry but she told me to tell you regardless. Haley, Ivy impregnated something in Alice, it looks like its converting Alice's genetic code to Ivy's. She'll be like her in all aspects, green skin, control of the earth and that sort of thing. Unfortunately, we have no idea what will happen to her personality and if she'll even be able to live through it. I'm sorry Haley."

The words echoed in Haley's mind as he sat on the hospital roof. The rain was showering him, as if to clean this filthy city and the sin it carries. Haley held his goggles in his hand, the ran splashing the lens. A dull grind of roof gravel made Haley turn around. Batman stood there looking at him, his outfit was like Haley's mood. He stood up and looked at Batman, the rain pelting his face as it came down harder.

"Jim told me what he did for you." Batman said darkly, "I'm surprised he went through so much for you."

"This isn't the time Batman..." Haley said staring at him.

"I know, I came here to tell you to let it go. You can't let yourself always get caught up in hunting someone down." Batman advised, "You'll be dead before a month."

"Least I'll go down doing what I felt was right." Haley said.

"When I see you Haley, it reminds me of the other Heroes who fight for Justice. You are different from almost all of them, you seem to walk alone, like I do. Take my advice, don't walk alone." Batman said looking at him.

"I've walked alone since I lost my better half. I don't know what could spawn something like you, but I know what spawned me, and I was the one that put him 6 feet under." Haley remarked, "And now, after killing so many people and retiring, I again find myself standing in my own wake."

"Just let it go Haley. Don't let yourself get consumed in vengeance and death." Batman answered.

Haley turned his back on Batman like he'd done so many times before, "Listen. After I get Ivy, I'm retiring, I'll hand leadership over to Blue Icicle and I'll walk alone again, unnoticed."

Batman stood silent, his head lowered, he started with a sigh, "Haley, you're Uncle risked a lot to give you this gift. To hand off to someone else would be considered an Insult. I'm not telling you to quit, I'm telling you to not take everything personally."

"Tell me where Ivy is. I want closure, then I'll let it go." Haley said turning around.

Haley found himself driving the Miata down to Tricorner, a little Island that's a leap away from the main Island of Gotham. Haley drove over the bridge, nearing the address Batman had traced Ivy to.

Ivy stood at a lab table mixing two beakers full of red and orange chemicals.

"Happy Halloween..."

Poison Ivy turned around, the plants in the darkness were silent. She turned around shrugging it off. She's had a trying week after all, Hoody Boy was a lot more determined then she's expected, but she'd one. Soon Alice would be like her and He's stop hunting her.

"I wonder..."

Poison Ivy turned around. The sound of a puff of air was all that was heard as a dart stuck itself in Ivy's upper bicep. Within a second, her entire arm felt like thousands of knives had impaled her whole arm. The pain swept across her entire body in a wave. She let out a tortured scream.

"Hello Ivy..." Haley said coming out of the darkness.

Tears rolled down her face, the pain was unbearable. Haley's look was that of a killer, cold and unforgiving, like a black bottomless pit.

"Sodium Chloride..." Haley spoke, "a 500mg dose of Table Salt. I can't imagine how much pain you, a living plant, are feeling."

Ivy screamed again as the wave of pain doubled over itself, it hurt so much she couldn't even think straight. The pain shattered every thought she could come up with.

"Ivy, I told you I'd come for you. You didn't listen, you gave me Alice, but you decided to turn her into you. Now I'm here to fix this, and I will make you suffer till you tell me how to reverse or stop this thing." Haley said darkly.

Ivy understood what Haley was saying, but the pain in her was so great she couldn't make out a sentence. Haley reached down and pulled the dart from her Arm, a semi-transparent liquid dripped from the tip. The pain lessened to the point where she forced herself to say something.

"Any...thing..." Poison Ivy squealed.

"Where's the cure..." Haley asked politely.

"Top table..." She struggled to think which beaker it was in, "It's the bluish... liquid."

Haley walked over and grabbed it, He poured it in a thermos he'd extracted from his pocket. Ivy squirmed on the floor as she screamed silently.

"You've only tasted the experience Alice has probably felt." Haley said turning around, "You took her virginity, the one pure thing everyone has. I hope you suffer till the cops arrive. Goodnight Ivy."

Haley made it back to the hospital, the thermos with the cure in his hand. Amy lay asleep at the table where him and Amy were discussing the Extras which seemed like ages ago. He went back up to Alice's room, she was still tan, her hair still blonde. Haley ran a separate tube to Thermos that contained the cure. Haley followed the bluish liquid move into her arm.

Her face went from a grimacing pain to a relaxed smile. Haley smiled with her, things were set right finally. He sat there and reflected back on everything.

"Maybe I'm not as alone as I thought..." Haley said to himself aloud.

Haley sat with his head leaning back sleeping. She smiled at him from her bed, her hero. Alice had been staring at him for two hours now, the things she'd been through were amazing. She'd been an orphan living on the city streets for years, no name, no faily, and no where to sleep. Then she met Ivy who acted like her mother. She finally got a job and started to make her way up, though she still visited Ivy. The that massive goon who'd taken her into that Alley. Alice smiled again when she remembered Haley and how he chased after her without even knowing her name. She remembered her final thought before the Mad Hatter flipped the switch temporally wiping her memory.

She shook her head back to the present as the door opened up. A taller woman stepped in, her snowy white hair put up in a bun. She looked over at Haley and crossed her arms.

"That asshole..." She uttered.

"Excuse me?" Alice asked.

She looked over at Alice, "Oh you're up? Sorry if I startled you. I'm Amy Strauss, also known as The Blue Icicle. Are you feeling better Alice?"

Alice smiled slightly, "I'm alright."

Amy nodded, "He'll be glad to hear it."

"Are you two an item?" Alice blurted out.

Amy laughed, "No. I wouldn't get involved with that lump. What gave you that Idea?"

"The way you looked at him," Alice said looking at Haley again, "You two must've been close at one point or another."

"We were, but that was years ago." Amy answered.

"You want to talk about it?" Alice asked.

"Nah, I'd like to keep it in the past." Amy said looking down.

"Okay, then can you tell me why Haley did all this?" She queried.

"That's Haley. For some reason or another, He goes out of his way for people. More then likely, he likes you and if I know Haley, he's a sucker for love." Amy said leaning up against the wall.

Alice looked at Haley, "So you're meaning to say he went through all this because of love at first sight?"

"Probably." Amy said looking at him, "Haley's always been weird. Ever since I met him in Knights Town, he's been like this."

"I'm proud to know him."

Amy smiled as she shook her head, "Yeah, pretty soon you're going to have him never leave you alone and follow you around."

Alice giggled, "I hope not, he seems like a sweet guy."

Amy and Alice enjoyed the moment, in Haley's world, anyone who knew him should always enjoy the calm, because the next storm is usually looming over the horizon.
