Chapter 11: I Dream of Ivy
After Jacob and the rest returned to Arendelle, Jacob and Elsa had their usual date night where they had supper together in the dining room of the castle. They did this while Anna and Kristoff when on their own date night by getting ice cream and Sven and Olaf went along with them. The chefs put together spaghetti and garlic bread for the queen and her boyfriend. Elsa looked across the table and saw that Jacob just remained quiet while eating his food. He had been quiet ever since they left the Batcave. "How's the food?", she asked to start a conversation. Jacob then looked and answered, "Oh, it's good as always.". After she was done eating, she went over and took a seat right next to him. "So, what do you think about what Bruce was talking about?", she asked. "About what?", he asked. "You know, about Poison Ivy trying to use that TITAN stuff on her plants and all that.", Elsa said. "Yeah, it's messed up. I told you she was crazy. She's one of those people that will go to great lengths to protect the environment, and what makes it worse is her plant powers.", Jacob said. "Yeah, and of course, I care about and love Nature as well and want to protect it, but not when people are being put at risk. But if she really is attempting to destroy Gotham, we have to find her and stop her.", Elsa said. While Elsa was talking, Jacob looked away and imagined he saw Ivy coming into the room and staring lovingly at him. (Reference to Batman and Robin.) Elsa noticed that he was staring off into space. "Jake?", she said. He snapped out of it and asked, "What?". "Are you sure you're alright?", she asked sounding really concerned. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?", he said. "It's just ever since you came home this morning, you've been acting kinda funny.", she said. "Maybe I have been. I don't know why. But I promise you, I'm fine. There's no need to worry.", Jacob tried to assure her, even though she wasn't fully convinced. She saw he had some sauce on his lips and she said, "You have some sauce still on your lip.". Jacob then wiped his mouth and got it off. "Did I get it?", he asked. Elsa then playfully said, "Yeah, but let me help you out to be sure.". She then leaned in to kiss him. Jacob gave in to the kiss and closed his eyes. When they pulled away, he opened his eyes and he saw Ivy in front of him instead of Elsa. (Another reference to Batman and Robin.) He then gasped after he saw Gotham's green femme fatale. Ivy then looked worried and asked in Elsa's voice, "What is it? What's wrong?". He shook his head and rubbed his eyes and when he opened them again, he saw Elsa instead of Ivy in front of him. "Uhhh...I'm fine. It's nothing. I really don't feel good. I think I'm gonna go lie down. Love you.", he said as he got up and kissed her forehead and left the room. Elsa watched him leave with a worried look on her face and had an incredibly bad feeling. Later that night, Jacob was sleeping peacefully in his bed. He started to dream that he was in some kind of huge garden where a seductive voice was calling to him. "Jacob. I've been waiting for you. Just follow my voice.", the voice said. He didn't know who was calling him, but he couldn't help but go towards where the voice was. The garden began to get bigger and thicker as he went farther in. He then came upon a huge flower that looked like it was about to open up. Once it opened, he saw who was calling him inside it. It was Poison Ivy sitting on the flower like it was her throne. "You.", Jacob said. "Me. Good to see you, lover.", she seductively said. Jacob was feeling confused, but tempted. "I shouldn't be here. I don't know why, but I know this isn't right.", he said. "If this wasn't right, you wouldn't be here, would you.", she said. He just stayed quiet and still. "Don't be afraid. Come to me.", she said as she motioned him to come closer. He hesitated, but gave in as he went to her. He sat down next to her on the flower. "Both me and my babies are glad you're here.", she said. "I really can't do this.", he said while trying to fight his urges. "But you want me, don't you?", she asked. "Yes, I do, but...", he said as he trailed off. She put her to finger to his lips and said, "Shhhhh. But nothing. There's nothing wrong with us being together, love.". She then wrapped her arms around him and he did the same. "There's a big war going on out there, Jacob. The war for Mother Nature. I can't win it alone. Will you please help us?", she asked. "Yes. Anything you need!", he said. "That makes me so happy. But for now, it's just you and me.', she said. They were about to kiss when an extreme cold chill came in and it made them both shiver. Frost started to seep into the garden and it ended up killing some of the plants. "Nooo! My babies!", Ivy screamed in horror. Then an icy witch with blue skin and an outfit completely made of ice came in with an evil look on her face. "Your plants are no match for the power of the cold!", the witch said. "Oh, no! Jacob please protect me and my babies from this cold-hearted witch!", Ivy begged sounding terrified. "Anything for you, my love!", Jacob said as he ran forward to attack the witch. The witch just laughed and said, "Pathetic boy!". She then hurled an ice blast at him that started to make him turn to solid ice. Just before the ice completely froze him, he woke up. He was quickly gaining his composure from the messed up dream he just had. He then went to the bathroom and splashed water in his face. "What the hell is wrong with me?!", he said to himself. He then went back to bed and fell back asleep hoping to not have any more fucked dreams.
