Arc Two, Part Two: Answers

Haley sat down on the couch and mopped the sweat off his forehead. They'd been walking all over town, no cabs or nothing because his face was plastered all over the city.

"Water?"

Haley looked over at Poison Ivy, "Hmm... yeah sure, no miracle gro please."

Ivy narrowed her gaze and looked at him, "Ha ha." She said sarcastically.

Alice walked over and flopped onto the couch and rested her head on Haley's lap. Haley put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it. She pulled herself closer and hugged him.

"I bet you've got a lot of questions rolling around in that head of your's." Ivy said sitting down in a chair and crossing her legs.

"Let's skip the crap Ivy." Haley said looking at her, "I'm a fugitive, I didn't do it. You're a criminal, you know a frame when you see one, I need your help."

"Haven't we had this conversation before? A year ago I believe." Ivy said smiling.

Haley looked at her darkly, "Listen, I know we've had problems, I'm willing to throw that out. You apologized, I forgave, you helped Alice." He folded his hands as he took a breath, "Now its time for me to ask a favor and I'll owe you. You help me, I help you, we'll sit back and relax after this is all over."

"Alright, I'll tell you what I've been hearing in the underworld lately." Ivy sat back and reflected back, "There was a guy, he'd been asking a lot of questions. His name was Malone, something Malone. He wanted to know where you had your headquarters, who you knew, where went and such. He said he had a Vendetta from way back."

Haley shook his head rolling the name over in his head, "I don't think that's possible. I killed, or incapacitated almost everyone from where I was."

"I don't doubt that." Ivy giggled.

"Anyway, the name sounds flimsy. I need to see this guy in person, you mind arranging a meeting?"

"I'll see what I can do. What're you going to do?" Ivy asked.

Haley smiled, "Just put the word out, Haley is looking for Malone and Haley will get who he's looking for." He said referring to himself in third person.

"Alright, so long as you never do that again as long as we speak." Ivy said pointing her finger at him.

Alice rolled over and clutched Haley's Hoody, she was fast asleep, "Do me a favor, take care of her for me if I don't make it?" Ivy nodded and Haley got up and walked out the door leaving Alice there.

Haley stood in the elevator, thinking to himself. He knew Uncle Jim was not pleased, that or he was fighting tooth and nail for his innocence. As for James and Amy, he knew both would be upset but neither would help him. He grabbed the cross James left for him before he left. He looked at it and then put it behind his shirt again.

The doors opened up, a figure dressed on in black was waiting for him, "Hello Haley Brown."

"Don't you usually enter through the window or something?"

Batman sprayed him with a Gas and knocked him out cold. His body crumpled to the floor like a shirt. Batman picked him up and walked out with him on his back.

Haley groaned a moment before coming around. His eyes fluttered opened up and he shook his head like a dog.

"Evening..." The blurred image answered.

Haley looked up as his vision began to focus in, the red costume, the interior yellow cape, the messy hair, he looked down, at green pixie shoes, "Hello again. Hope you don't hold a grudge."

Robin threw a punch that almost knocked the chair over with Haley in it, "Guess so..." Haley thought.

"Man that felt good..." Robin said looking at Haley sitting there.

"You're lucky my hands are tied you pixie shoe wearing little punk." Haley said looking up at him, his cheek swelling slightly.

Robin was ready to hit him again, "Robin!" He stopped and inch from the bridge of Haley's nose.

Batman descended and and looked at the both of them, "If I have to turn you in, I will Haley."

"I'm surprised Dracula. You seem to not want to throw me in Jail, last I remember you wanted to kick my ass and keep my in Black gate for the rest of my life." Haley remarked.

"Things change." Batman replied stepping between him and Robin

Haley smiled, "Evidently. Now why grab me anyway."

"I want to know who would want to go after you anyway. You seem like the type that's got a lot of enemies but they're too scared to even touch you." Batman said crossing his arms.

Haley looked at him, "You mind taking these cuffs off?" Batman went from behind and unlocked them.

Haley rubbed his wrists and stood up. After the wrists he pushed the welt out and rubbed that, it bit back with a hard sting.

"Alright, off the top of my head I'd say it'd probably be the Penguin, maybe Andrews."

"Andrews? You mean Jeff Andrews the senator?" Robin said looking at him.

"Yeah, him and me weren't good friends in high school. He did a lot to me, and I ruined his name, or so I thought."

Robin shook his head, "Alright, I'll leave it at that."

"Neither seems like the type. Andrews is too preoccupied with his campaign and Penguin, although one to settle a score isn't one to use such tactics as framing." Batman repiled.

"Why'd you take such a sudden interest in all this anyway?" Haley asked.

"Because I was going to do the same thing but someone who hates you more did it first." Batman answered.

"What?" Haley said, anger rising, "You meant to say that? You were going to frame me! YOU!"

Haley reached into his pocket but a Batarang sailed through the air and smashed into his wrist, "You will not." Batman answered looking at him.

Ivy took a sip of water and poured the rest around the base of a Fichus in the corner. Alice looked at her.

"So what do you call yourself?" Ivy asked.

"What do you mean?" Alice asked.

"You love Haley, you're by his side, you worked with Haley and his band of vigilantes The Extras. So my question is, do you think you're a Hero now?" Ivy said looking up from the place.

"You know the Immortal?" Alice said smiling.

"You mean the one who's unnatural? Drinks a lot?" Ivy remarked.

"Mhmm. I punched him out cold." Alice laughed.

Ivy chuckled a little bit "You were a strong one."

"Thanks." Alice answered.

A knock on the door caused them both to look up, "No one knows I'm here..." Poison Ivy answered looking at them.

She nodded at Alice to get the door. She peeked through the peep hole and spied a guy in a tuxedo. She cracked the door open a tad. The sound of rocket exploding cracked through the hallway and blood sprayed onto her face. Alice let out a scream as she slammed the door. It burst open as she made a break for it. She felt a sharp pain come from the back of her head and she crashed to the floor. She rolled over on her back and looked up. This whipped around like a blender and she couldn't see anything.

"Tell Haley Brown when you wake up that someone would like to see him, someone he shot." The voice said.

Another rocket exploded and she felt a pain shoot up her leg, then the world faded off and she felt a wave of extreme fatigue hit her.
