Chapter 21: Wilted Flower
Ivy wanted nothing more than to continue using the formula on her plants so they can spread to the other islands that make up Gotham City. Unfortunately, she was preoccupied with her enemies down on the street who were trying to hurt the plants she loved so much. Elsa and Freeze were freezing her plants to the very root as much as they could. "You're pretty good with mastering the cold with that gun, Mr. Freeze.", Elsa said to Freeze. "So do you with your hands, Elsa.", Freeze said back to her. "You call yourself a hero, Batman? You say you believe in justice? This is justice! For centuries, plant life has suffered and has been slowly dying because of the selfishness of humankind! I am giving the plants justice! If anything, I am the true hero of Gotham!", Ivy boasted. Something about that pushed Elsa over the edge and decided to take matters into her own hands. "That's it! She's going down!", Elsa shouted. Elsa then began to run away when Jacob and Anna noticed this and stopped her. "What are you doing?", Anna asked. "I'm going to take her down! You guys finish tearing down the plants. I'm taking Ivy down solo.", she said. "But she could kill you!", Anna warned. "I've dealt with worse. I've got this, Anna. Don't worry about me. Just worry about finishing those plants.", Elsa said. "She's right. She's got this. "Come on, Anna.", Jacob said. "Just be careful.", Anna said as she and Jacob went back to join the others. Elsa then started to jump on the back of the plants and climb/jump her way to where Ivy was. Jacob was astounded at how majestic she looked and devoted she was to saving the day. The biggest reasons he fell in love with her in the first place. He also was surprised how agile she was in that dress in those heels. Harley saw Anna and Jacob come back after dodging more plant spit. "Where's ya sista?", Harley asked. While Ivy was distracted, Elsa used this opportunity to attack her from behind now that she was at the top. Elsa lunged at Ivy and knocked her off her huge mutant plants. The heroes all saw that and Anna said to Harley, "Does that answer your question?". "Let's just hope Red doesn't put her on ice. Oh, I wish Mistah J was here to hear that joke.", Harley said sadly. Elsa and Ivy landed on a nearby rooftop. Ivy softened her fall by creating a bush. Elsa did the same, but with a pile of snow. Ivy got up and began to get in her defensive stance. Elsa did the same and said, "You think you're a hero?! By murdering countless people and destroying their homes and livelihoods?! You're sicker than I thought, Ivy!". "No, Elsa! What's sick is mankind has abused Nature's gifts and makes her suffer nonstop! I'm going to give this world back to the plants!", Ivy said. "Not on my watch!", Elsa said as she hurled a few ice blasts at her. Ivy dodged those easily and then commanded a couple of vines on her arms to turn into long whips. "This is for my children that you turned into ice cubes!", Ivy said angrily. "Your children had it coming! Just like you do!", Elsa taunted. That pissed Ivy off even more and charged at her. She used her vine whips to attack her. Elsa kept dodging as quickly as she could when Ivy was using the whips. Ivy successfully whipped her foot and threw her on her back. Ivy began to choke her as she was down, but Elsa used an ice blast to knock her off. Once Ivy got back on her feet, she commanded the plants on the roof to attack her. Elsa froze them once they grabbed her and that caused Ivy to shiver since she could feel the plants' pain. "You did it again, you heartless bitch!", Ivy yelled. "I'm heartless? I'm not the one who's going to destroy the city and everyone in it!", Elsa shot back. Ivy then got control of another plant to knock her down again. She used one of her vine whips to choke her from behind as she was getting back up. Elsa was struggling to keep her breath but it was hard with the vines choking her. She then headbutted Ivy with the back of her head. Ivy let go and held her nose in pain as green aloe started bleeding instead of normal red blood. "What do you say we finish this with our fists and no powers?", she asked. "Bring it, Greenie!", Elsa taunted. Ivy then began to punch Elsa while Elsa punched right back. Both women kept exchanging punches and kicks. Elsa was bleeding regular blood while Ivy was bleeding more aloe after the catfight attacks that were exchanged. The catfight was nearing an end when Ivy landed a few good punches that knocked Elsa to the ground. Elsa really felt tired and weak as she tried to get up. She attempted to use her powers, but Ivy's put pinned her hand down before she could. "You've built your last snowman, Elsa!", Ivy said while looking down at her. "If you and your family just stayed out of this, you wouldn't have had put them on my hit list. But now that you've really pissed me off, I'm going to make sure beautiful plants sprout from their lifeless corpses! I'm sure a nice garden of tulips will sprout from your sister. And I'll make sure roses will grow from Jacob. If only you kept him dead and didn't revive him, he wouldn't have had to suffer that fate, but because of you, he will!", Ivy threatened. Elsa became enraged after her threats and got up quickly and began punching and kicking her again and again. "Don't you fucking dare threaten my family you evil, crazy, tree hugging bitch!", she screamed as she kept fighting. Ivy then fell down utterly defeated with Elsa standing over her victoriously. "You can't beat me! Nature always wins!", she weakly said. "Not this time! Your plants are about to shrivel by my cold! Winter has come at last!", Elsa said. She punched Ivy out cold one last time. "You're nothing more than a wilted flower now!", she said. She created an ice slide to get back down to help the others. "There you are! Are you okay? Did you deal with Ivy?", Kristoff asked. "She's down for the count, Kristoff.", she said. She then looked at Freeze and said, "Let's finish this up, Freeze.". "With pleasure.", Freeze said as he got his ice gun ready. Elsa and Freeze began emitting their cold energies at the huge TITAN plants. The plants cried in pain as they began to turn to solid ice. Within a minute, all of them were now ice. "I believe it's your turn to finish this, Batman.", Freeze said to his friend. Batman used the Batmobile to shoot at the frozen plants and make them shatter into billions of tiny ice chunks. "We did it, guys! Great job!", Olaf cheered. They all began high-fiving and hugging each other victoriously. Both Anna and Kristoff and Jacob and Elsa shared loving kisses too. Jacob held his hand up at Freeze for a high five. Freeze just stared blankly wondering what he was doing. "It's a high five, man. Don't leave me hanging!", Jacob said. "Very well.", Freeze said as he fived him. Jacob went over to Harley and said, "Nice job, Harley. You did good.". "Yeah, I guess I did.", Harley said. Both she and Jacob fist bumped. Jacob shook Batman's hand when he gets out of the car. "Gotham is safe once more.", Jacob said. "And I couldn't have had done it without the help of my friends.", Batman said. "I am glad I didn't lose you after all. I didn't want to lose another ally in my crusade.", Batman said. "You can thank the woman I love for that.", Jacob said as he looked at Elsa. "And the only one I do and ever will love.", he assured her after what happened with being mind-controlled by a mad woman. Elsa just smiled back and felt very happy that she didn't lose him either and everything turned out okay.
