Chapter 25: Solomon Grundy

"Well… Today has been rather interesting." Vanitas commented as he and Selina were hovering near the later's patio via card platform.

"That's quite the understatement." She commented with some mirth to her voice.

They just come back from the wetlands and on the way over, the two had already guessed that Batman will be coming over here to ask Selina some questions to today's events. It wasn't that hard to guess on the hero's intention from Naruto barely catching the Bat's particular narrowed gaze. Not only that, but also the batmobile gunning towards their loft building in an estimated fashion.

So in that time, the two had quickly discussed on what the ravenette should tell the Dark Knight when he came by to question her. Just some changes here and there, like Naruto stumbled into her loft and Selina said outloud that Bruce was possibly next. He convinced her to help out, among other things, that could possibly help sell the story.

It's a long shot, but it's the best that they can do at the moment.

"So are you still sure you can handle things here?"

"Yes I'm sure Naruto." She replied as she jumped off of the card platform and landed on her patio. "Once I'm done with Bats, I'll come up to let you know on how things went."

He nodded as he rose the platform another level to reach his patio before stepping off. Once the Uzumaki got inside, he checked his surroundings if anything was amiss, only to find nothing at all. Just a usual precaution really.

'Better check up on Pam.' The publisher thought as he walked towards the bedroom while dispersing his hero attire. When getting there, he heard the faint sounds of the shower from the connecting bedroom turning off, signaling that the botanist had just taken a shower.

*Sigh* "I needed that." Naruto heard his lover say from the slightly ajar door.

"You doing alright in there?"

"Oh… Naruto." She said as she sounded a little surprised on his arrival. "When did you get back?"

"Just now." He said as he walked over to the bed and started to take off his shoes. "Though I did come back earlier from patrols before Selina and I went back out to take care of Pyg and Toad."

"Really? And how did that go?"

"It was okay for the most part." He smiled as he started to undress himself, leaving him in just his boxers and undershirt. "We helped Batman save the day and all that stuff. Though I did have a little worry scare when finding out that Bruce was a target to those eco-terrorists."

"That must have not been fun."

"No kidding." Naruto simply said as he gathered the clothes and went over to put them away in the closet. "Pyg and Toad did get away from the scene when they blew up the oilrig-"

"WHAT?!"

He winced when he realized on what he just said. An oilrig exploding would obviously upset an environmentalist in a lot of ways. With Selina, sure it did upset her but she knew prior that the animals were previously driven out so it wasn't much of a deal with her. But with Pam, well that would be something else…

Naruto's thought process was put to a halt when he heard the door to the bathroom slam open with his redheaded girlfriend with a pissed off look on her face.

"How could they do such a thing?!" The botanist yelled out as they brought her hands to the towel wrapped around her hair and grasped it in frustration. "They say their eco-terrorists that care for the environment, but they end up causing more problems in such a place!"

"Well you should ask them if you see them the next time they show their faces."

This got his girlfriend to growl out a little and started to pace around the room. As this went on, Naruto got a good look at her and had to swallow a lump in his throat due to her appearance. Sure she just got out of the shower and all, but with her current attire made it hard for him to focus anywhere else. With her just wearing the towel around her dampened hair and the pink bathrobe around her form that it covered quite a bit.

But it was how the bathrobe was presented really from it reaching towards her mid-thighs and it was mostly parted higher up to show some of her cleavage. Everything else just left him with his imagination on what she looked like in the past times he's seen her naked. From her ever present long, smooth legs being shown to him imagining the other limbs of her body.

He was so focused on her that he briefly didn't realize that she sat down on the bed before lying down on it. This parted the robe a bit more to show more of her cleavage as she spreaded out her arms. Even having her legs go seemingly limp off of the bed made her appearance seem great to see for the silver haired publisher.

"If they claim on being eco-terrorists, they should've realized that blowing the oilrig would've damaged the wetlands more." Pamela said as she just stared towards the ceiling.

"We don't know what was going on through their minds when they planted those bombs." Naruto said as he walked towards the bed and sat down next to his redheaded girlfriend. "They are nutjobs that wanted to get rid of people in their way. So the destruction of the oilrig had to be a contingency for them to possibly get rid of us if things didn't go their way."

"But doing that would've caused more problems in the long run."

"I know that Pam and Selina knows that as well." He said as he placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it, earning a reaction of her leaning towards it. "She was rather vocal about it on the ride back, asides from other things, but I'm very sure a lot of environmentalists will talk about this in the coming days. Probably wanting the city to get the oilrig remains out of the wetlands so things can possibly heal better."

*Sigh* "I hope so."

"So… moving onto other things. I take it the interview didn't go all that well." Naruto said as he wanted to change topics.

"Yeah… It didn't go well at all."

"Wanna talk about it? It could help you know, just like when we first dated."

She smiled a little in remembrance before speaking to him. "Things were fine at first, with how most of the board was possibly wanting to hire me back on and all, but things started to go downhill when it dealt with the serum and my criminal background."

"We already discussed that Pam, you don't have to bring back up the serum if you have to." Her boyfriend said as he slid off of the bed and sat on the floor to have the two of them roughly at the same eye level. "The serum alone could be potentially great, but it possibly is harmful to humans if not used carefully."

"I know and I don't want anyone else to possibly go through what I had to deal with. Sure they could become champions of the Green, but what if someone truly crazy got ahold of the serum and used it to cause more problems for the environment."

"That's one possibility Pam, but getting sidetracked here."

"Right… Well I lied to the board on remembering the serum formula and it had 'so and so' results. When it came to my criminal background, things snowballed from there."

"But you were cleared of the charges Pam."

"I know that Naruto, but I couldn't tell them the reasons and the events that went on at that time." She said as she got up from the bed, making Naruto to look up at her from the floor. "I knew that if I told them what happened that it would've made things worse and the board might not really hire me, but take me as a labrat."

"You don't know that."

"Well I don't know and it was a stray thought that came up when I left the room when the board were discussing things. But I only gave them that I couldn't really answer that it would've brought up bad memories if I did tell them."

"Pam…"

"So after they told me that I'm not going to be rehired, I went to the nearest liquor store and bought some beer to drown my sorrows once I came back."

At this point, Naruto got up from the floor to see his love hugging herself with her head lowered. He sat back down on the bed and touched her hand that was currently visible. The publisher wanted to comfort her and say something, but Pam beat him to the punch.

"I've worked there for so long Naruto. Practically set me for life and I could've retired at a good age." She somberly said as she slowly grasped his hand in a tightly fashion. "Now I have no idea what else to do."

"Yet you've forgotten that you already have your new job from the Green by being it's champion." This got her to look at him in the slight remembrance. "Not only that, but Bruce offered you a job to work at the botanical gardens. So that's something."

"I know that, but-" "Just give it some thought about it Pam." Interrupted her lover as he brought her closer to his frame. Even caressing her back to soothe her a little. "I know Bruce gave you the offer when you got out, but still think things over more if you have to. It's not the end of the world since you couldn't get your old job back. Just a door closing in front of you while another one opened up."

She didn't respond right away as her mind was going through her thoughts from earlier in the day to the present time. Her mind was going through several things at a time, but it seemed that her lover's actions were helping them clear them with how calming his voice was along with rubbing her back with her bathrobe on. Pam was going to speak up when a new feeling graced her form.

'What is he…?' Pam thought as she felt one of Naruto's hands slip through her robe and caressed her side, making her hitch her breath in the process. She didn't know how to properly respond while he was rubbing her ever so softly that once his hand reached her breast, her heart rate quickened as he kneaded her fleshy globe.

Pam soon gasped as the love of her life placed kisses on her neck and traveled downward to the placement where her shoulder and her neck connected. He then started to focus a lot of his attention there before suckling and biting down in that area to leave a few faint marks there. By the time he was done with that action, it would eventually become a slightly darkened hickey on her fair skin.

"What are- MMMPH?!"

Naruto wouldn't let Pam finish that as he boldly claimed her lips. At first, she was taken aback by his boldness earlier, but after a moment the botanist slowly kissed back. His free right hand rose from its position and circled around her slim waist, keeping her close with his body. At that moment, their kiss deepened.

'Oh Gaea, I've missed this!' The changed botanist yelled out in her mind. 'I should've ended the punishment sooner!'

Pam soon circled her arms around her lover's neck before taking a fistful of Naruto's hair. She felt Naruto slowly pushed her tongue back, trying to enter her mouth. Their tongues battled for dominance, saliva mixed together, and she felt her body heating up. After ten second of tongue-fighting, the Green's champion let her lover to push her tongue back. She felt her lover's tongue invading her mouth and swept every inch of her wet cavern; sending tingling pleasant feelings on her nerves. The pleasant pulses traveled and accumulated into her core, wetting her nether region very fast. Unfortunately, it stopped just as she felt her arousal built up. She opened her eyes and saw a string of saliva connected their slightly parted lips.

The separation irked the botanist, but her body relaxed immediately as she felt Naruto's palm patting her cheek softly. With his other hand, it was still on her breast which came to a stop on its earlier actions. Her other lips suddenly demanded her to have Naruto's tool inside of it.

"W-What… What was that f-for?" Pam rasped out as she tried to control her breathing while the rest of her body quivered.

"You were feeling rather depressed Pam." He said with bits of worry in his voice, but when she gazed into his eyes she saw the tone slightly betrayed by the lust being shone. "So I don't care if I'm still in my punishment or not. I'm going to make you feel really good after our time apart. Something that I think has been long overdue."

-Lemon Starts-

Once that was said, Naruto went back and assaulted her mouth as the hand on her breast went back to work. In this brief moment, Naruto was able to wrap his tongue around hers and was able to suck it to get a nice reaction out of her. Even more so when the publisher started to play with her nipple from pinching and pulling at it to make the redhead moan to the pleasure.

'Yes! More~!' Ivy said through the shared link she had with her 'sister'. The darker persona was feeling the same pleasure from her lighter half and it felt amazing. 'Ravage 'us'!'

It was during this time that the hand holding onto her face traveled upwards and pulled off the towel wrapped around her hair to let it fall upon her shoulders. Naruto's hand then went back to the back of her head and started to rake his fingers through the red waterfall to get a pleasant feeling from the botanist. All of his actions towards his lover made the redhead rub her thighs together to seemingly spread her juices around.

The hand that was playing with her breast soon traveled downwards to send chills down her spine. His fingers soon graced upon her navel and traced it ever so slightly before they made their way towards her sex. When Naruto finally touched her garden, he felt of the wetness down there and inwardly smirked on the reaction he was getting from his girlfriend.

*Chuckles* "My. My." He said once he broke the kiss with small traces of their saliva on their lips. "You've gotten quite damp in your garden, haven't you."

She could only gasp out a few times for breath before answering. "How… How did you get so good?"

"You can thank Selina for our time being together so far." Her lover said as he inserted a finger inside of her, making her jump a little in the process. "We've experimented a lot and hopefully it paid off."

"I-It… It did." She rasped out as she felt his didget going in and out of her. It felt so much better than her fingers when she was all alone back in Arkham. Then again playing with yourself can go only so far without the real thing. "M-More Naruto."

"Hmm… What was that?" He asked with a coy smile. "I didn't quite hear you."

"I-I need more." She said as her dual voice started to surface. "I need more of you in me. Please!"

"Don't worry Pamela. I'll be sure to follow with your requests."

And with that, he inserted another finger inside of her to have the middle and ring fingers inside while the two of them made out in a heated fashion. It was getting the Green champion really worked up, that she was starting to shake a little of possibly having a mini-orgasm coming her way. It was coming so close once Naruto started to shake his hand up and down on her sex that it possibly threw her off of the edge.

"MMMPH!" Pam screamed out inside of his mouth as she came. There wasn't that much of a spray than from what the publisher expected, but it seemed enough as her body was shaking due to her cumming. When they parted from their kiss, Naruto could see Pam's eyes were pretty hazy with moans coming out of her mouth.

"S-So…So good~"

"Then I'm glad you enjoyed it." He said with a smirk on his face seeing her reaction.

"So did I." A female voice called out from the bedroom doorway, causing Naruto to look over to see Selina. "And I gotta say... seeing Red cum like that made things a bit hot under the collar."

Naruto looked towards his dark haired lover and saw her current state of dress being in a loose, casual attire consisting of a black t-shirt and pants. Though something about the attire seemed odd to him. It then hit him as Selina made her way towards them to make the Uzumaki see the slight sway of her breasts and the slight unbuttoning of her pants. Even when coming closer, Naruto saw the slight glint coming off of the ravenette's fingers to see they were a bit moist.

"I'm guessing that you've been watching the whole time."

"Pretty much honey." She said as she stopped right in front of him. "Came by to let you know how the chat with Bats went."

"And?"

"Went like how we expected it to be. So that'll be something off of our hairs for a while." The thief then grabbed Naruto's moistened hand and brought it up with her dry hand. "And when I decided to come up here to give you the notice like I promised, I didn't expect to see the Pam's punishment towards you ending at the moment. Not only that, but you possibly putting her in a deep sexual high."

Once that was said, she brought her lover's hand up to her mouth and licked Pam's juices off of his palm. It was very sensual and exciting to see, making the former shinobi get a little hard from down below. Possibly got harder when he saw Selina bring her damp fingers to her mouth to get a taste of herself in a possible comparison between the two women.

"Mmm~ Yummy~"

'Damn.' He thought before he felt his other arm being moved a little. Causing him to look towards his redhead lover to see her coming down from her sexual high.

"Wha-Selina!" The Green champion cried out as she didn't expect seeing her dark haired friend being there.

"Hiya Red." The thief spoke with a growing cheshire-like smile. "Did you enjoy yourself so far?" This caused the botanist to blush to possibly match the color of her hair as she looked away from the smiling ravenette. "I'll take that as a yes." She said before dropping down on her knees and coming close to the blushing redhead. "Though I gotta say, you are very sweet and juicy. So I'd like to get some more."

"Wha-What do you mean?" Questioned the redhead before she gasped out in shock before moaning as Selina's head dived between her legs and started to lap up the juices from the recent orgasm.

'...Okay…That's really hot.' Naruto thought with widened eyes at the site before him. Though to not be left out of the action, he grabbed ahold of Pam's head and slammed his lips towards her. The two soon went back into their make out session while Selina was licking and eating out the redhead. While the thief was eating out her friend, she slipped her hand back into her pants and inserted her fingers back inside of herself to pleasure herself more.

'Oh~ So good!' Pam thought as she was being assaulted from both her top and bottom lips.

Eventually things had to come to a close as Selina stopped her actions and backed away from the botanist's legs. She soon pulled off her t-shirt to reveal that she wasn't wearing a bra underneath to show her ample breasts with the rock hard nipples in full display. Once that was done, she went onto the side and brought her hand into Naruto's boxers to fish out his fully masted penis.

"I've been waiting for this for a while now." Selina spoke out in a sensual tone before licking the tool from the base to the tip in a slow fashion. This jolted the man from his action to stop him from his current make out session with his first girlfriend. "Why don't you join me Red? It's delectable."

Pam was a bit hesitant on the suggestion since she pretty much knew what her dark haired friend was implying. She was going to say something about it, but Naruto grasped her hand making her turn her head towards him. The botanist saw a reassuring look in his eyes that voiced out of her knowing that she didn't have to do it unless she wanted to. Of course the dark part of her mind slowly took over and seemed to taint the light a little to comply with her friend's offer.

"Move over please."

"Sure Red." Selina said as she scooted over a little to make room for her friend. "Take it nice and easy if you have to."

Pamela didn't say anything as she grasped Naruto's throbbing length, feeling the heat and pulses coming off of it. This made the changed woman feel dry in the throat yet moist from her loins. She then leaned closer to the head before giving it a nice peck from her lips. From there she took small licks out of it to get a decent taste out of it before she started to kiss and lick other parts of his length. Feeling left undone, Selina joined in by giving the cock varying kisses and licks along the side while Pam had the other.

This made the publisher moan out in pleasure on what the two were doing, making him place his hands on the red and raven haired women's heads. He then raked his fingers through their scalps while being sure not to guide them along on their current task. Unbeknownst to him, the two women appreciated it as they took their time to tease the man they both love.

Occasionally, the two would meet up by the cockhead and give each other a shared kiss with tongue before either one of them would take a bit of Naruto's length into their respective mouths. This would get a good reaction as his moans and whimpers would shift every so often. Even more so when the two women silently told each other through their eyes of one taking Naruto's length while the other took his balls. The new sensation made the Uzumaki's waist buckle a little on the current feeling of two sensitive areas being wetly assaulted.

'Oh Kami!' Naruto thought as his eyes were glazing over as he tried to fight off the urge to cum too soon. 'This is amazing!'

'Mmm~ Tastes so good~" Pam thought as Ivy hummed in agreement. The darker half was glad she urged her 'sister' to give Naruto his first blowjob from the redhead.

'So glad that 'we' had his Icha Icha books to occupy us back in and out of Arkham.' Ivy stated as it gave 'them' vivid dreams and ideas on how to pleasure 'their' beloved.

With a resounding pop, Selina had let go of Naruto's sack from her mouth before she nudged Pam to switch. The redhead compiled before she lowered her head and took one of his balls into her mouth before the ravenette took his pole. This went on for several minutes of the two women switching every so often before Naruto started to heavily pant with what is about to happen.

"G-Girls… I'm going to-"

His warning came too late as he came inside of Pam's mouth, who currently had his cock inside of her mouth. It was rather sudden on the streams of semen entering her mouth, making her widen her eyes in the process. It lasted for several moments before Pam pulled out to leave the saliva covered prick with some spit dripping off.

"Oh let me have some of that." Was all Selina said as she brought the botanist into a steering kiss. The two were so engrossed into their kissing, with them exchanging Naruto's load in their mouths, they didn't see the glint in their lover's eyes. So while the two are distracted, he came behind the two women and threw them onto the bed.

"What the hell?!" Pam cried out as she landed first with Selina following.

"Oh this is going to be good~"

"What do you mean by that Selina?" The redhead asked before looking at her boyfriend to see the deeper look in his eyes. "And what is going on?"

"To answer your question Red," the thief said as she crawled over to end up hovering over her friend, "Naruto is going to completely ravage us."

"Wha-What?" Pam asked in momentary forgetfulness from what she wanted earlier.

'HOORAY!' Ivy cried out in joy in the shared mind as she was very anticipated for what's to come.

"You forget that I've been sleeping with him the longest. That I've gotten to know when he gets into a ravaging mood or a romantic one." The ravenette said as she grabbed the bathrobe and slipped it off of the changed botanist. "So expect us to have one hell of a romp."

"Right you are Selina." Naruto spoke out as he grabbed ahold of the hem of her pants and phased them off in a ripping motion before tossing them to the side, revealing a silky thong with part of it riding up her ass. After that was done, the Uzumaki then pulled off his shirt and boxer shorts to leave him completely in the nude.

Once that was said, Naruto brought his hands onto Selina's tight butt to spread her cheeks before diving down to eat her slit. Said woman moaned in delight before leaned down and grabbed Pam's face to bring her back into another makeout session with her ass in the air. Pam responded in kind by bringing one of her hands up to grab ahold of her friend to help her out on support while the other hand fondled one of the breasts. As for the thief, she brought her hand back to grab ahold of Naruto's cock and jacked it off a few times before leading it to the botanist's slit.

Feeling the hot, wet entrance of the first woman he gave his heart to, Naruto momentarily let go of the ravenette's ass so he can grab ahold of Pam's legs. Even though he appreciates Selina's little help, he wanted to properly plunge himself into the redhead's pussy instead of accidentally putting it inside of her asshole. He made that mistake once with Selina on a previous romp and it hurt his second girlfriend on the event. Sure they continued with the new experience after he took her black cherry, but he wanted to be careful for now on instead of going in blind when taking the plunge.

"Are you ready Pam?" He spoke out, making the two women breaking their kiss to get the redhead's full attention. "It's been a while for you and I don't want to hurt you by accident."

Pam could only smile at this when hearing her beloved still being his loving and caring self when it deals with love making.

"Just go slow at first Naruto." She said getting him to nod in response. "Make me savor the feeling once you're all the way in."

Complying with her request, he slowly inserted himself into his first girlfriend. Both of them could only moan and groan in response as he dived deeper inside of her, with her tight velvety walls after five months of being separated. Another inch, then another, and another, then another until his whole size was nearly in and Pam was completely silent.

She had to control her breathing as she adjusted to his size after so long. It felt so good and after a few more moments, she spoke out. "Slowly… please."

It was then that Naruto started to slowly back out and push back inside of her depths when Pam's breath started to hitch again. Selina was smiling when seeing Pam's face going through the motions. So she lowered her body before capturing the redhead's lips once again as they fought for dominance inside of each others mouths. It wasn't long before she soon felt Naruto insert two of his fingers into her wanting pussy with a thumb going inside of her asshole to start pleasuring her.

The moans and groans started to fill the room as Naruto was started to pick up the pace and ramming himself hard into Pam's depths. She was like what he remembered of being a velvety vice around his member that he needed more of her. Soon the clapping of skin could be heard as he kept slamming himself inside of the redhead.

"YES! FUCK ME HARD AND DEEPER NARUTO!" Pam yelled out once she broke the kiss with Selina. She needed to be heard and she demanded him to plow right through her, to effectively stretch her out. "PLANT YOUR SEED INSIDE OF ME!"

"W-Well it's happening P-Pam." Naruto rasped out as he started to feel his balls tighten, showing that he was going to cum soon. "Be ready."

After a few more minutes of slamming into her, he loudly groaned as he started to empty his seed into Pam's wanting depths. Said woman could feel the heat entering her center, making her cum a little on her having her beloved fully being inside of her after so long. After he was done depositing his seed inside of her, he slowly pulled out his member and let his hand go from Selina's pussy and puckered asshole.

"I believe it's my turn now." The dark haired thief spoke out before she soon felt Pam flipping themselves over to have her on the bottom. She was going to speak out until Selina saw the redhead turning herself around with a diabolical smile on her face.

"Oh it is Selina," the Green champion said in her blended voice with her eyes starting to glow in it's rich green color, "but I still want some pleasure out of this." Pam then lowered herself on top of Selina's face, making the thief have a facefull of the botanist's loins. "Now Naruto, it's time to fuck this thief's brains out."

*Chuckles* "As you wish Pam."

So without warning, Naruto plunged himself with his half hardened member into Selina's wet cavern making the ravenette groan loudly. This in turn sent a nice little vibration through Pam's core, making her moan a little before she started to gyrate her hips on top of Selina's face. The thief could only lick, slurp, suck and eat the botanist's cunt out as she tried to take Naruto's seed that was slowly dripping out of the redhead.

"Yes Selina… Do what you do best and steal our beloved's seed from my garden." Pam said as she grasped her breasts and twisted her nipples. "I don't mind at all. After all*Moan* we are sharing him so we might as well share his seed."

'Damn… I gotta say that seeing Pam being all dominating is pretty hot.' Naruto thought as he kept slamming his tool inside of his lovely thief's depths. 'Wonder how that will be like in future romps.'

'Mmm…. Kitty likes.' Selina thought as she was tasting the mixed juices of Naruto's and Pam's essences. 'God I'm going to really enjoy being in this interesting relationship with him.'

The three continued their actions for several minutes, from Naruto slamming into Selina, Pam riding the thief and both the publisher and botanist bringing their faces together to share a deep kiss to do a full connection between the three lovers. Trapped in a position of intense carnal acts as their naked bodies glistened with their sweat. This was practically one of the greatest experiences in their lives and they absolutely loved it.

Naruto had worked his dark haired lover into a frenzy; a steady rhythm being built, increasing in speed, and in intensity. His eyes closed, Naruto's mind drifted from the love beneath him and in front of him. His mind drifted elsewhere, creating an image in his head that caused him to release a deep, baritone roar, one matched by Pamela's soprano once they separated their kiss. She moaned, reaching her peak, her climax. Naruto quickened his pace with his eyes shut. Even Selina felt it coming as her end was fast approaching.

Their world had then exploded. It wasn't better because of what they were doing. It was better because of how they were doing it. Not only were they each other's lovers and beloveds, but Selina and Pam were his mates and they absolutely loved it. Pam had let loose a torrent of the mixed cum inside of her onto Selina's face, causing her to lap it all up while also screaming out her own climax. Naruto screamed incoherently as his cock released wave after wave of cum that filled her the thief's greedy pussy cavity.

-Lemon Ends-

The three felt absolutely exhausted as both Pam and Naruto had to steady themselves from falling over on their positions. The botanist slowly got up to see the thief's panting, drenched face of both Pam's juices and Naruto's semen. The publisher had soon pulled out to end up having some of his cum spill out, getting Selina to shiver when some of his essence traveled downward towards her ass.

From there the two metahumans went towards the edge of the bed, with Naruto dragging Selina up with them. Once they were all situated with their heads on the pillows, the three continued their labored breaths as their love making was quite intense. Soon the two women wrapped an arm over Naruto, crossing their respective arms over another and having their feminine hands interlocking with each other, followed by a leg around each of his to fully entrap their shared lover.

"That was… other worldly," Selina said as she was licking his earlobe. Even was grinding herself against him with what energy she had left in her to try and prolong the sexual high.

"You can say that again." Naruto rasped out as he soon felt Pam nuzzle her head into the crook of his neck along with her grinding herself against his other side.

"It was… heavenly." Pam spoke out as she placed a few kisses on his neck. "I can't wait to have more of this."

"Same here Red."

Naruto then phased his arms out of their hold before he wrapped the two closer into his embrace. Even turned their heads to give both of his lovers a soft kiss on their lips. Once that was done, the three slowly succumbed to their exhaustion. Though their was one last thing on their mind before they entered the realm of dreams….

That they've got a lot of sex to catch up on.

-Morning-

"...Onto other news this morning, the wetlands oilrig exploded last night due to the eco-terrorist actions of Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad." Summer Gleeson spoke out in the news room. "From what was speculated from the kidnapped victims of Max Shreck, Michael Holt and Alfred Pennyworth that it was an attempt for the eco-terrorists to get away from being captured by Batman and Vanitas."

This was what Naruto, Pam and Selina were listening to as they were cooking breakfast for each other. While Naruto was sporting a pretty big smile, Pam and Selina were basking in their ever present glow radiating off of them from not only last nights activities, but also from this morning. After waking up early, due to old habits, they continued their love making in both the bedroom and in the shower. It was quite the fun experience for them.

"...Even the resident Catwoman, Selina Kyle, has been seen with the helmeted hero to help save the three kidnapped individuals. Is this act a way to help make up for her past crimes or to cover her own agendas. Who knows for sure."

"Seems your getting better publicity now ever since the Daggett events." Naruto said as he was making some waffles.

"I guess so." Selina said as she was chopping some vegetables. She was then greeted with a pleasant kiss from Pam..

"At least it'll help you more on possibly getting more donations to the various causes you're working with. So that's a plus in my book." The botanist said to her fellow environmentalist.

"Following last night's events, environmentalists have been demanding to have the wetlands be relinquished from it's current owners. Further discussions about the damaged area will be brought up at a later notice. Though with the current owners will be up to debate on what to do exactly.

Speaking of current owners, Max Shreck of Shreck's department stores has been brought into questioning by the GCPD about the varying allegations presented by the eco-terrorists Pyg and Toad. His lawyers state that they are false and misleading, despite the hard hitting truth presented for obvious reasons. But things aren't looking all that well for the millionaire when new evidence was presented to the GCPD last night by-" *Click*

"Well I think that's enough news for one day." Selina said as she turned off the TV before heading back to the kitchen to help take care of breakfast.

"Wouldn't you want to hear more of it Selina?"

"It's alright Red." The thief responded as she was setting up the plates by the kitchen counter. "I already know what was going to be said and I don't want to hear anymore about it."

"About what?"

"That Selina broke into Shrek's office and was able to gather a lot of evidence to get the man convicted for his crimes. Though I am going to be credited for bringing in the evidence with my clone being seen dropping off said evidence."

"Huh…" Was all Pam let out from the bit of information Naruto just said. "Well… That's good to know I suppose."

"Really? Nothing else about that Red?" The ravenette said in a light mock, hurtful tone.

"I do remember during one of the times when you visited me back in Arkham that you've done similar things in the past. Gathering evidence to convict people that were harming the environment. So I figured that you've done it yet again."

Nothing much was said after that as the three had finished up making breakfast and started to dig right in. During most of the meal, they just had small talk on random topics here and there but nothing of note worthy. Though with the recent one was something to garner about.

"I am wondering though is *Munch* *Munch* *Swallow* ...where Rachel is at?"

"Yeah, I'm wondering that as well Pam."

This got Selina to slap herself on the head in forgetfulness, something that didn't go unnoticed by her two friends/lovers.

"Something you mind telling us Selina?"

"Yeah I forgot to tell you last night due to the mess last night. Along with me mostly focused on the evidence being sorted out from Shreck's files."

Naruto nodded in understanding, but this didn't leave the question unanswered. "Still though, what do you know."

"Well... Harley left a message that Rachel was staying over at her place last night. Something about her exhausting herself from playing with Artemis. Even Harl somehow was able to get the girls to do a sleepover."

"That actually sounds sweet." Pam said with a small smile. "Rachel bonding a bit more with Jade and Artemis. Even having her first sleepover."

"Yeah, that should be really good for her I bet."

"Though I do wonder what kind of hijinks Harl was doing for said sleepover." Selina muttered as she tried to imagine what her pale friend was doing, entertainment wise. For some reason, a stray thought of Harley kidnapping the pizza delivery boy and putting the girls through a major sugar rush came to mind. Making the three children stay up all night before each of them crashed and burned sometime afterwards.

'Nah… She is better than that.' The ravenette thought with a shake of her head.

"Harley probably rented out some movies or something from her collection to keep the three entertained while painting each other's toenails or telling spooky stories." The botanist said getting some looks from her two friends/lovers. "Hey it's been along time so my knowledge is a bit rusty."

"Yeah, whatever you say Red." Selina said to herself in a tone that got the changed botanist to send out a narrowed glance her way. "Though I never had one before from me being on the streets the majority of my life."

"But what about your sister, Maggie?"

"Siblings don't count Naruto. If they did then I would've had a lot of them with the shared room me and Maggie slept in until we went into separate foster homes."

He could only hold up his hand in defeat as he didn't want to get into that kind of an argument. It was one of the odd parts about his relationship with her that she would seem such a know-it-all on the smallest of things. Sometimes he be fine of letting her win those moments so she can feel better on the relationship. Though the majority of those small things dealt with a women's perspective and there was no way in hell he was going to open that can of worms.

"So what are your plans for the day you two?" He asked in wanting to change topics.

"I'm thinking I could stop on by Harley's place to pick up Rachel and Isis." Selina said as nothing else came to mind for today's schedule.

"While you're there, I think you could finally meet your cute little fans." Naruto said getting the dark haired woman to look at him funny. "Don't know if you forgot or not, but Jade and Artemis are fans of yours. So I think it'll be fun if you got to meet them."

"Huh… Yeah I think I remember you telling me that, but it must've been in passing."

"No. I definitely told you when you asked how my supposed first date with Harley went."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am Selina." He said with a reassuring tone. "I distinctly remember you saying, after hearing you have child fans out there, that you can't wait to meet the future 'environmentalists'."

"Oh… Right."

"But still though, maybe you can at least meet the Crock girls so there could be a familiar face associated with Harley. I mean what were you possibly planning to do to kill most of your free time exactly?"

"...I guess you're right." Was all she said as she shrugged her shoulders. "Though what are you two going to do for today?"

"I….I don't know." Pam admittedly said with a little slump of her head.

"I have one idea in mind." Naruto spoke out, getting his redhead girlfriend's attention. "We can go out on a little date. Could at least help get you out of the loft and your mind off of what happened most of yesterday."

Pam thought it over for a moment or two and thought it might be nice to go out on a date with her boyfriend after quite some time. Sure the two hanged out several times after she got out of Arkham, along with her old punishment placed on him, but it should be good to go out again before her life was literally flipped upside down. So with a smile, she responded back to her lover.

"Yes… I'd love to."

*Chuckles* "Great and we can go pretty soon if you want." He stated as he collected his dishes and went towards the sink to clean them up. "After all, we have nothing else to do for the time being and I want to be in a good mood before I go back to work tomorrow."

Once that was said, the three finished getting ready for the day before heading off to their destinations. It could be a pretty good day for them if they play their cards right. Sure there could be some snags since there can never be a perfect day.

Unbeknownst to them, there is going to be one large snag that will not affect their day, but various other people.

-Streets of Gotham-

The weather was quite similar like the day before, with the darkened overcast that possibly bordered towards it raining anytime soon. Cars and people were bustling through the streets and sidewalks as they were going to the various destinations for the day. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary for the citizens of Gotham, even those that are homeless.

...Okay that is a bit of stretch on the homeless bit.

In one secluded alleyway, a group of homeless men were huddled together so they wouldn't be bothered by any other people of Gotham. Each of them were keeping watch in their own manner if someone was to come on through. If someone did come on through, the homeless would either leave them be or, in most cases, come up to them and ask for any change to help feed themselves for the day. Sometimes the homeless would use the money on primarily food, but on other times most of them would use the money to buy some drugs to ease their pain of everyday life.

Not in this case though as one of the homeless people saw a towering figure walking through the alleyway, Said figure appeared to be a ripped up cloak covering the being's form with rope holding things together. This got the homeless man a questioning look before he spoke out to the large man.

"You doing alright there stranger?"

Hearing this made the other homeless people get out of their senses and turn towards their fellow man before their eyes landed on the large man.

"Holy shit." The second homeless man said in astonishment. "How the hell did you get so damn big?"

There was no verbal response at all as the large man tilted his head to the side. It was hard to tell on the man's facial features due to how dark the covering was, but the homeless man guessed the large man had adopted a questioning look.

"I… don't know." The man said in a rough, raspy voice that seemed to get one or two of the homeless men on edge.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Questioned another homeless man.

"I just… don't know."

"...Okay." One of the men said before he widened his eyes when he gazed at the cloak opening to see… "Where the hell are your clothes?!"

"...What?"

"Where are your clothes?!" The homeless man said as he covered up his eyes a bit. "I don't want to see you naked under there!"

Hearing this go on, the other homeless men freaked out a little as the large man spread out his arms a little to end up widening the cloak opening. This made the others realize that the man was indeed naked and they didn't want to see any of the man's business down there.

"Sorry?..." The man said in a tone that seemed that he was questioning them yet it made it hard to do so when the other men tried to block out the man's nakedness.

"Just hold on there. I think we have some spare clothes for you to have." One of the homeless man said as he went to a part of the alleyway to dig out a spare change of clothes. "They might be tight, but they could possibly work for you."

"...Thanks."

Wasn't long before the homeless man came back with the clothing on hand. Once giving it to the largely cloaked man, he ushered the man to go to the other part of the alleyway to get changed. Especially since the homeless men didn't want to see the man's lower half.

"Why'd you give the guy my clothes Harry?"

"Well I didn't want to leave the guy naked on the streets with a freaking bedsheet Frank."

"Then why not use your own?"

"Since my clothes wouldn't fit the guy while yours should."

"But those took forever to scrounge up!" Frank yelled out towards his fellow homeless man. "A lot of that I had to either carefully sew, dumpster dive, or buy from my own change collection!"

"Well too bad and you have nothing else to do in the meantime."

"Why you little…"

"You said… that you… needed money?" The large man said with the new set of clothing on him. He still wore the cloak on top of him, minus the rope, but the men saw he used the rope as a makeshift belt. Underneath said cloak, they now saw him in a bit of ripped up attire due to how hard it took to get inside of the clothing.

"Yeah. Along with the rest of us here."

"I could… get money… for you… for clothes." The man said getting bewildered looks among the homeless.

"...If you could that would be great."

"But where would he get the money Frank?" Harry asked as he unknowingly got the larger man's attention. "It's not like he had any on him."

"He could go to the bank and get the money from there Harry."

From what the homeless man just said made the larger man hear some of the words echo inside of own mind. They seemed to trigger something inside of his very being. Something to drive his instincts even further.

Yes… Money… The one voice called out inside of the larger man's mind. Go to the bank… Should be able to draw out the Green champion by doing so…

"I'll go to bank for you." The cloaked man said getting piqued looks from the two men in front of him.

"Huh… Alright."

"But where… is bank?"

"Eh…" Harry muttered as he was scratching his head a little. "I think the nearest one is actually in the middle of town."

"...Thanks."

As the larger man was walking away, Frank spoke out towards him.

"What's your name?"

"...Huh?"

"Well… What's your name?"

This left the man racking his mind as best as he could. Though nothing seemed to come up before the one nursery rhyme he remembered came to forefront of his mind. It was the best that he could think of before he spoke out to the homeless man.

"Grundy…"

"Huh?"

"That's my name." The man spoke out as he walked out of the alleyway. "Solomon Grundy."

Once the now identified Solomon Grundy was out of earshot, one of the nearby homeless men muttered out something small and simple before getting into a nap.

"...Weird name."

-Gotham Botanical Gardens-

"Not that I mind Naruto, but why did you bring me here?"

"I don't know what you mean Pam." The Uzumaki said as he walked beside his girlfriend through the garden.

"Don't play dumb since I know what is probably going through your head right now."

"Which would be what exactly?" He asked as the two were passing some of the flowers on display.

After leaving their loft, Naruto had taken her out on a stroll through some parts of Gotham that they had enjoyed going to during some of their past dates. Going through the park and eating at one of the small diners Pam enjoys every so often to make things ever so presently great. It would've been better if the sun was shining, but with the current overcast they had to make due.

"You brought me here to distract me enough to possibly get me to consider working here." She said with a narrowed gaze towards her lover.

"Don't be putting words into my mouth hun, since you are probably not guessing my motivations right."

She was partially correct in what he was doing. The Uzumaki had originally wanted to bring Pam here to help make her feel at home with her powers. Feeling connected with how healthy and strong the varying plants were ever since they were last here on April Fools Day when they bonded with the ancient tree here.

He realized this when coming over one time during it's closed hours and meditated there with his scythe. When the tree got rejuvenated, it must've affected the surrounding plant life greatly to the point that it changed them in most aspects. Reason why when he came on by in it's open hours a lot of the scientists working there were taking so much of their time studying the new flora appearances, even more so on the ancient tree with the most drastic changes.

But getting back onto the part of what she was assuming was partially correct. During the date so far, some thoughts had been going back to what he learned last night of Pam not getting her old job back. Naruto didn't want to see the depressed aura of sorts radiating off of her with her not having a job at the current time. He wanted to see the beautiful glint and sparkle in her eyes when it pertained to working with plants. To see what she can do with her new found knowledge in plant life with her current connection to the Green.

*Pouting noise* "I'll get you to tell me sooner or later Naruto. Mark my words."

"And what will you do exactly Pam?" He asked as he walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her front to bring her closer to his form. Pam ended up leaning her body onto his on instinct as her hands grasped his. "Will you take control and force it out of me?" He then brought his mouth closer to her ear and spoke out, making her shiver on what was said next. "Possibly dominating me while having fun doing so?"

'Oh Ho~ This is getting hot!' Ivy spoke out as she was getting giddy with excitement. This wasn't helping really as Pam's heart was slightly quickening and her cheeks burning up as various images were showing up. Dominating her lover in several ways made her want to be very compliant with the idea. 'Don't know if we should thank Selina or not on this new side of our king.'

'I'd rather kill her for corrupting him.'

Before anything else could be brought up, someone walked up to them and coughed into their hand.

"Am I interrupting something?" A woman asked, getting Pam to jump a little and out of Naruto's hold on her.

"N-No!" The changed botanist said with a stutter with her ever present blush. Of course it was hard for it to go down with Naruto laughing a little, making her glare at him to quickly shut up. "Just my boyfriend teasing me about something."

"I see." The woman said with a smirk on her lips before bringing a porcelain mug to her lips.

From what the couple inspected from the woman, she appeared to be of hispanic descent with her being roughly a decade or so older than Pam. She had fair skin that seemed to match with her dark brunette features. Currently wearing a purple button up shirt, dark pants and a lab coat with an employee pass on the pocket. She also has a 'happy face' mug in her hand with a pair of glasses on top of her head to finish off her appearance.

"So are you two enjoying your time here so far?" The woman asked getting the couple to nod their heads.

"Yes we are. Thank you for asking."

"It's been quite some time since I've been here and got a good look at the place." The redhead said as she looked around to see how different many of the plants looked. She didn't voice it before, but she distinctly remembers that the ones currently shown were not that exotic looking or giving off a more better feeling from the Green.

"Well depending on when you last came here, we've been quite busy ever since the Joker fiasco."

"...How so?" Pam asked as she was a bit curious on the woman's explanation.

"If you may not have noticed, these plants were not this extravagant as they appear to be before the incident." The employee said as she waved her free hand towards one of the nearby flower beds. "Take for example these hawaiian flowers we have growing here. We had them planted back in March as saplings, but whatever happened caused them to rapidly grow and appear much differently than we expected. We don't know how this happened, but it possibly had to do when Vanitas brought that mysterious metahuman here back on April Fools Day."

"Yes I've heard of what happened and glad that the two were able to save the day." Naruto said with a bit of a smile, getting his lover to nudge his side. Something that went unnoticed by the female employee, due to her looking away for a brief moment or two.

"Well after that event happened, many scientists and botanists made their way over here to study our main attraction here to figure out what those two did to it." She said as she seemed to usher the couple towards the outside of the building where the ancient tree resided.

"I'm sorry, but what's your name ma'am?"

Turning towards the publisher, the woman decided to answer his question. "Ah yes, sorry that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Luisa Cruz and I'm one of the plant sciences specialists working here at the gardens."

"Then it's nice to meet you doctor." Pam said as she and Naruto kept following the doctor while looking at the various plants along the path.

Once the two made it outside, they were greeted with the sight of the ancient tree in all it's glory. Being healthier than before as it seemed to revert back into it's prime with the gigantic flowers receding back into buds. The changed botanist could practically feel it without trying to reach out and connect to the ancient tree.

"I've studied this tree for quite some time and I could only scratch part of the surface on what it did." Luisa said as she took a sip from her mug. "It still won't explain how it affected the other plant life here at the gardens."

"Possibly the tree had some latent properties that reacted very well with the other plant life." The botanist said, getting the garden employee's attention. "After all, it has been around for millenia and no one would fully understand what it can do when it came back to it's prime." 'Well except for me and the Green that is.'

"Hmm… That is true Ms…"

"Isley." Pam said to introduce herself. "Dr. Pamela Isley."

"And how would you know a bit about this?"

"I'm a botanist myself." The Green champion said with pride. "I've extensively studied plant life for the majority of my life and centered my career around it. I can very well name off every type of flora in different regions of the world and be able to know of their properties."

"Really? And how would you possibly explain a bit more with the plants in and out of this building on how they've changed?" Dr. Cruz said to possibly challenge the botanist in front of her.

"Like I said before." Pam first started out as she walked closer to the tree and touched it slightly without wanting to give away her abilities. "This tree has been around for millennia, 'possibly' before the time of man walked the earth. It should have spores inside of this beauty to bring out the latent ancestry on varying plants through genetics. Reason why the trees and flowers within the building's grounds look different should because of showing their earliest form of ancestry in a manner of speaking…."

Naruto's lover was quite honest in her little explanation as the time she entered this ancient being, she had gotten a lot of it's history to know how powerful it can be. Even after Naruto explained to her on how truly important this tree was of it connecting to a ley line nexus. It made her know how truly unique this tree was from the rest of it's kind that supposedly existed.

Off to the side, Naruto was looking onwards with a smile on his face. He was happy to see his girlfriend get into her 'botanist groove', something he nicknamed when the two first started dating, and it seemed to lighten up her rich green eyes. He had to give himself a pat on the back on bringing her here that it.

Back with the science specialist, she gained a little intrigue towards the redheaded woman as she started going on and on about the plants without herself saying a thing. Listening to a good amount of detail about possibly taking the best traits of different plant species and blending them together to make stronger plants to be able to survive through different climates. Ways on improving the environment through splicing different stains together that would save varying areas.

"Pam."

"Y-Yes."

"You're getting into your 'groove' again." Naruto said with a small smile.

"Oh… Sorry on that." Pamela said with a little embarrassed look as she turned back towards the specialist. "I tend to ramble on with my research and really get into it."

"No it's quite alright Ms. Isley." Luisa said as she waved off the guest on the apology. "It was quite interesting to hear all that. Where do you work at anyways?"

"Well… That's the thing. I'm, sort of, in between jobs at the moment. I just don't want to get too much into detail though."

"It's quite alright." Luisa said before taking a sip from her drink. "Though we are a bit short on staff at the moment."

"Really?"

A nod was the only answer given at the moment from the specialist before clearing her throat. "A married couple working here are currently on maternity/paternity leave with their newborn. So some projects and assignments are either put on hold or delayed on progress."

"But why would you want to possibly hire me?" Pam said with a perplexed look.

"You seem pretty good on your explanation, with good details, earlier and it might be good to help out. If that could be possible."

"Well… Give me some thought on the subject please."

"That's fine Dr. Isley. Though there should be one thing you need to do when your going to apply here as a possible specialist." Luisa said getting looks from the visiting couple. "For most potential hires used to work for other companies, we would be asking for a good research paper or so on how to possibly make things interesting in the plant world as it were. If you were just someone fresh on the market, you would've just needed a good recommendation and thesis paper. Though since you're in the former category, you get the idea."

"I pretty much do Dr. Cruz." The Green champion said as she started to think a little on some idea on what to possibly do exactly.

"Take all the time you need though since there's no rush." Was all the plant specialist said as she left the couple alone near the ancient tree. Once the employee went back inside; Naruto turned towards Pam and gave her a nice hug before spinning her around, much to her little annoyance at the moment.

"You did it Pam." He spoke out as her annoyance soon turned into little giggles. "You possibly landed yourself a good job."

"Yes Naruto, I think I might've." She said as she broke out of his grasp and landed her feet onto the ground. "Though I do need to think of a good research topic to possibly get me in though."

"At least you'll be with a whole lot more plants than with your previous job. And I do have to admit that you working back at Star Labs was a tad suffocating in that one room of yours."

"True."

"I would suggest your old life's work, but it would only cause a lot of problems."

"I know. So I'll be racking my mind for a while though." The redhead said before her lips were captured by the love of her life. Once breaking away, he gave her a reassuring smile as he wrapped his hand around hers.

"And I'll be there every step of the way."

"Thank you."

"Besides… I didn't urge you at all to apply here." He said with a smile. Which only met with a twitching brow from his lover's face.

"...You had to ruin the moment... didn't you?"

This just got the publisher to nervously chuckle as he muttered 'sorry' several times over.

-Gotham National Bank-

There wasn't that much activity going on inside of the bank. Just the average, quiet moments of people idly chatting with either the tellers or the assistants at the cubicle like offices. Asides from that, people were just standing or sitting around for their respective turns on why they came by to the bank in the first place.

As this went on, a large figure entered through the entrance of the bank with a cloak over his form before making his way upstairs. With some people nearby gave the man a weary look as the cloaked man seemed to turn his head all over the place. Even scratching his head to possibly indicate him being quite confused for the time being.

"Eh… May I help you sir?" A guard came up to the large man as he was weary of the larger man, just like everyone else.

"Grundy... need money."

"Well you've come to the right place… I think." The guard said as he guessed the larger man seemed not that smart at all. "You could… stand in line or sit down in one couches till someone could help you."

"...Okay." Grundy roughly said as he idly moved his head between the line to the couch. Eventually he moved his way to the couch before he sat down on it, earning a bit of a creaking noise coming off of it. Obviously due to his weight.

Nothing much happened after that as people went on with their business. Though every so often people would stare at the largely cloaked man

*Bang*

A sound of a shotgun going off startled off the occupants in the wide opened room of the bank. Many turned towards the source to see five people wearing red ski masks near the entrance wielding a mixture of assault rifles and shotguns. One of the guards was about to fire upon them until one of the masked men punched his lights out while another shot a nearby guard. This caused more panic from the occupants in the building with some people screaming.

*Bang*

"Alright listen up!" One of the red ski masked men yelled out with his shotgun in the air. "We are not here for your money, we're here for the bank's money! Just get on the ground nice and tight and no one will get hurt!"

"So don't be brave or else we'll unload a payload of lead into one of ya'll." Another ski mask wearing men said as he trained his weapon at a pair of guards so they wouldn't stop their robbery.

"Do what you're told and this will be over quicker than the time I hooked up with a cheerleader back on prom night!" Another thug called out as he was going through several registers and dumping the money into bags. Of course some of the other thugs looked at the one thug oddly on what he just said, to which said man caught onto. "Too much?"

"Yes." Was the resounding answer from the other ski masked men.

"Ninety seconds guys!" One of the men called out as he briefly looked at his watch. It appeared they were on the clock.

"Anyways… we're the Red Hood gang and we hope you have a pleasant day." The first man said as he was checking the occupants in the room just in case they weren't going to try and attack them. Of course his eyes soon landed upon the large cloaked man sitting on the couch and didn't seem to react to anything at all. "Hey! We said to get on the ground!"

There was no response from the larger man as he just sat there without moving an inch.

"I was talking to you!" The one thug said as he got up and close to the man.

"Sixty seconds!" The watch thief said before turning his head towards the first thief. "Just leave the guy alone man."

The first thug ignored the watch thief as he aimed his gun at the large man. "I said get on the ground!"

"...Huh?" The large man said as he turned his head towards the thief. "Were you talking to Grundy?"

"Yes I was!" The man said as he jammed his weapon at the larger one's chest. "What are you?! Deaf?! Stupid?!"

This seemed to rile something inside of Grundy as he was told of him being stupid. Instincts telling him to be rid of the man in front of him before getting the money that he previously sought out for. But he didn't know what to do really on how to fully engage with the situation at hand.

Kill the mortal Grundy. The voice called out inside of the cloaked man's mind. Stand up and kill him.

Grundy complied with the voice's command and got up from his place in the lobby couch. With his height and stature, he seemed pretty intimidating to the man pointing the gun at him. Even more so with the cloak around his form.

"Hey! No funny ideas!" The first thug yelled out as he and several others trained their weapons at the man.

"Thirty seconds!" The watch thief called out before he waved his weapon towards the bank entrance. "It's time to move guys!"

"Don't point gun at Grundy!" The larger man growled out as he stepped towards the man in front of him.

*Bang*

The larger man looked down to see part of his cloak was shredded, but didn't really feel much from that shotgun blast to the chest. Not even any blood came out from the blow. Though it did seem to piss him off for some reason.

"What the fuck?!" The first thug said as he looked back between his gun and the man in front of him. "I just shot you point blank!"

*Growl* "Grundy not like that at all." He said as he swatted the man to the side.

His action soon shocked the various people in the lobby as the first thief was sent flying to the other side of the room. Upon impact, the man left a large dent onto the wall before falling to the ground. Onlookers didn't know if the thief was either dead or barely alive.

"Shoot him!" One of the thieves yelled out as the others seemed to follow the command and open fired on the large man. But all they ended up doing was pissing Grundy off.

Kill them Grundy… Do it now!

Grundy followed with with the voice's command and charged right at the thieves and either punched or swatted them to leave things as an absolute mess of things. The various onlookers were very shaken up on what they have just seen of the large man possibly killing the Red Hood gang members. Though one seemed to survive and tried to run away…

Keyword tried.

Especially when the couch that Grundy was sitting on earlier was thrown at the remaining Red Hood gang member. It was a direct hit towards the man's back and sent him tumbling down the stairs in a bad heap of pain. Then again from both the couch hitting his back and falling down the stairs, it was a surprise the man lived… or dying very very soon.

When all that was done, the cloaked man looked around to see everyone was literally scared of the man. Even the remaining, conscious guards were and they were pretty conflicted if they should open fire on him or just stand down so they can prolong their lives. Though it didn't matter really as Grundy was ignoring them entirely.

Now open the vault and get the money Grundy. There might even be gold in there. The voice spoke out as it seemed to bring a little smile on the man's face. Even as a little feeling seemed to surface at the mention of gold came to mind.

"Gold… Yes…. Grundy like gold." The man said as he walked towards the vault. Once there, he grabbed the sides of the door and ripped it off with minimal ease. This shocked the onlookers even more, but had to move out of the way as Grundy tossed the door behind him to leave a resounding *Thud* on the floor. Leaving a large dent on the tiled floor.

'What the hell is he?' One of the tellers thought as he kept pressing the silent alarm button underneath his station. 'Is he a metahuman?'

"Oh~ Pretty gold." The large man said as he grabbed handfuls of gold but didn't know how to take more with him. But a small thought came to mind as he pulled off the cloak off of his body to use as a makeshift bag. Doing so revealed his body to the current occupants in the bank.

Grundy appeared to be a large, statured man of eight feet or so with his enlarged muscles. His skin was pure white, matching his short shaggy white hair. The sclera of his eyes were yellow instead of the typical white along with his teeth being jaggedly yellow. To finish off the man's appearance, Grundy wore a tattered black jacket and pants with an opened grey button up shirt underneath along with black boots straining by the seem.

"This could work." Grundy muttered as he placed a good amount of gold onto the tarp he used as a cloak and wrapped it up before heading out of the vault. On his way towards the bank entrance, he also picked up one of the bags of money before making his way down the stairs. When he did make it at the end of the steps, he came across the site of the remaining thief staring up at him, barely moving at all with a handgun aimed at the pale man's head.

"Who… What the fuck are you?" The man asked out in fear.

His answer was met with a raised boot, hovering over his head before the towering man spoke.

"Solomon Grundy…. Born on a Monday."

All that was heard next was the moist crunch of the robber's head being stepped on, leaving it's matter on the floor.

-Meanwhile, On the streets of Gotham-

"...I don't know how we can get that to possibly work Pam."

"It's easy beloved." Pam briefly said as the two of them were walking down the street hand in hand. "Just take out all of the furniture in the one guest room and let me have my way with it."

After the two had left the Botanical Gardens, the couple went towards the nearest bookstore and looked around for a while. It was a little activity the two had seemed to get into that stemmed off of Naruto checking out the publishing competition. It would be fun at times of the two exchanging opinions with different works along with Pam suggesting him to try and hire an underdog writer or something of the sorts. The two recently left the establishment and were just wandering around to see what they can do next before heading home.

"But turning it into a greenhouse room isn't going to really work out you know."

"And how would you know?"

"Well for one, our home is a loft for starters." He said as they reached a stop light. "Sure there can be potted plants and the like in the loft, but it's not designed to function as a greenhouse."

"But we could if we put our minds into it." She said with a little pout that her lover wasn't getting reeled into.

"That's another thing Pam. Greenhouses would be fine to use at a home, if it wasn't an apartment building. There are rules for that and I don't want to get us in trouble if reports are brought up of water leaking from the ceiling. Among other things."

"But Selina lives right under us and I'm sure she won't mind." The botanist defensively said in hopes of getting him to reconsider. The two soon started to cross the street as their conversation continued.

"Trust me Pam, but Selina would very much mind. And I'm fine with her opinions, but I do not want her to complain about us having excess water seemingly coming through her ceiling."

"...Maybe she won't mind once I use some experimental pheromones." His lover muttered, getting him to roll his eyes on the comment.

"You're not going to mind control her Pam."

"But I would very much like a greenhouse."

"Then what about the one outside of Gotham. The one where you rested at once you got your powers and kidnapped me…. No offence by the way for any unpleasant memories."

"None taken."

"Good and besides, that place has been abandoned for years and you could do your thing there if you'd like on most days."

"Hmm… True."

"Though I am surprised no one has bothered trying to do anything about that place." The Uzumaki stated as they kept walking through varying people. "People of Old Gotham or Wonder City, as it was back then, put a lot of money into that place to transport many rare plants there. Such a shame no one bothers going over there anymore."

"Also true."

"Maybe you could set up shop there if you want Pam. After all, it'll be possibly be the biggest greenhouse you could ever get your hands on."

*Giggle* "That would be nice."

*BOOM*

The couple, along with varying people nearby, flinched when the nearby bank entrance was destroyed. It didn't sound like a typical explosion from a bomb, it was more like a wrecking ball at close range. This resulted in a large cloud of dust coming from the wrecked entrance.

"What the hell?!" Naruto questioned as he held Pam close for her safety.

"Is it a robbery?"

"Pretty much." He said as the dust started to settle a little from his view. "But most robberies with destroyed entrances would be from the side, not from the front. So something must be different about this."

It didn't take long for the two to make out the figure in the dust cloud until it started to move away with loud steps on the pavement. Soon the sounds of police sirens were starting to come nearby to help deal with the robbery. Most people would assume that the criminal(s) would be taken in quite easily, to a certain extent, with the response time like this. But not in this case…

*CRASH*

...Especially when a dumpster literally thrown at the police vehicles.

"...You were saying." Pam simply said with widened eyes on what she possibly just saw.

"Yeah… this is really different." He said as he looked around to find a nearby alley to change into. "Please stay away from the action Pam. I don't want you to get hurt in the crossfire."

"...Just be careful and come back to me."

"I promise Pam." Was all he said as he gave her a quick kiss before running into the nearby alley to change into his Vanitas attire. From there he summoned a Kazekage spear and took off into the air to make his way towards the action.

Back with Pam, she was worried for her beloved as something didn't feel right about this. She knew he could take care of himself with how long he's been doing this sort of thing. But this nagging feeling that was starting to rise up in her gut made her want to be by her lover's side in this conflict.

"Pamela Lillian Isley."

"What?" The redhead asked as she looked around towards the sound of the voice. It was familiar to her, but she couldn't quite place it. "Who are you?"

"It is I, Yggdrasil." The ancient tree spoke out inside of her head, making her widen her eyes on the Parliament of Tree members talking to her.

"Why are you talking to me Lord Yggdrasill?"

"You need to be with your mate and help him."

"But… But why?" She asked in confusion. "Surely he can be able to handle this situation himself."

"True, but not in this case." The Parliament Tree spoke out with concern laced in his voice. "Not when he's about to confront one of the Rot's champions.

"Man this guy is pretty quick." Vanitas muttered as he was soaring through the air to catch up with the bank robber. It was somewhat easy to find him with the bit of chaos going through the streets, but hasn't been able to get a good look of him from above. "I need to either find out where's he's going or lead him to a less populated area."

So with this little goal in mind, he aimed his wind lance downwards to get towards his target quicker. With the large tarp like sack getting larger and larger in his peripheral vision, he knew he was gonna end up slamming into something hard pretty quickly. Not wanting to let this happen, he jumped off of his lance to let the conjured weapon slice through the sack to spill it's contents onto the streets along with the dufflebag from the other hand.

"He was carrying gold?" The masked publisher muttered in surprise as he saw how many gold bricks the man seemed to carry.

Feeling the weight being lifted off of him, with the clattering of gold behind him and the duffle bag on the ground, Grundy turned around to see what the cause of this was. He just wanted to bring this money to those nice people that gave him these clothes he was wearing. This seemed to piss him off as he eyed the black and white man in front of him.

He's not the Green champion we're looking for Grundy. The voice in the Rot champion's mind said with slight disappointment in it's voice. Though there are traces of the Green inside of that man. He might lead us to the target.

'That is one big robber.' Naruto thought as he took on the man's appearance before speaking out. "Hey ugly! I wonder if that was the face you were born with or you just made it that way!"

Once that was said, the disguised hero summoned a wind spear and hopped on before he took off into the sky in hopes of making the large man following him.

*Growl* "Grundy no like helmet man!" The champion spoke out as he ran towards the masked Uzumaki.

"Okay good. He bought the bait." Naruto muttered as he kept an eye out on the large pale man. "Didn't know he would take it that easily."

As Vanitas was trying to navigate his way to a good, safe area to stop this guy; the batmobile was racing through the streets to stop the same person.

"Are you sure we can take this guy down Batman?" Robin asked as he sat in the passenger seat. "From the police reports, they said this guy killed all of the robbers and didn't get fazed when he took a shotgun blast to the chest."

"Maybe, but we need to be sure we can hold him off until reinforcements arrive to help us."

"If you say so." The teenaged Grayson said as he double checked his arsenal in his seat.

Finals were done and over with for college and he'd pass with good grades that he'll be able to move forward onto the next set of classes in the Fall. So Dick decided to go out and celebrate with some of his college friends out of town for a while. Though when he got back to Wayne Manor last night, he was extremely surprised to hear of what happened to Alfred.

Dick berated himself on not coming back from his little vacation sooner, but the two older men didn't fault him at all. Even Bruce blamed himself on what happened yesterday when tracking down Pyg and Toad, but he had to move on with what happened. Of course Alfred will be off his feet until the cast on his leg came off due to his ankle being broken. It was all fine and dandy really and both Bruce and Dick can clean up the manor to help the former British agent out until the cast was off.

Things seemed to settle down for the day until the batcomputer went off and reported what happened at the Gotham National Bank. Bruce and Dick quickly suited up and made their way to the city to possibly stop this giant of a man. Problem is though they don't know where the man was going anyways. Either follow the path of destruction or…

"Attention all units. Attention all units." A voice from the police radio came through. "Bank perpetrator is going Eastbound. Following Vanitas. Possibly for less populated areas."

"Well that solves one question in mind." Dick muttered as Bruce swerved the car a bit to head in the right direction.

-Insert Kingdom Hearts 2.5: Rage Awakened Extended-

It took them a few minutes, but they soon realized they were on the right track when they saw the damage on most parts of the road. Parts of the sidewalks and pavement were caved in from some damage done by whoever is the cause of this. Even thrown dumpsters, pulled out lamp posts and toppled cars were evident that they passed through here.

"STOP THROWING SHIT AT ME!" A voice yelled out making the Dynamic Duo realize they were near their target.

"Helmet man stop dodging then!"

Batman and Robin then saw a lamp post coming towards them and the Dark Knight swerved out of the way on instinct. Once coming to a stop, they peered of the side to see Vanitas riding one of his lances while dodging the pale man's attempts to subdue him. The helmeted hero was keeping his distance in the air, but that'll keep causing more problems if he kept doing his current actions. Though it wasn't that much as this was happening in an abandoned part of the city.

'Time to take care of this.' Vanitas thought as he jumped down, not before grabbing his lance and slamming it towards the earth. A large gust of wind impacted the pale man, making him stagger back. The masked Uzumaki didn't wait for Grundy to recover as he dashed towards the man before slamming his lance to the larger man's side.

Vanitas soon saw the blade of his weapon pierce the man's side on accident as he didn't mean to do so. Though much to his shock, Grundy didn't bleed at all. Only seeing rotten flesh and meat underneath the clothing. Before he could fully react, Grundy swatted the hero away before pulling out the lance as it soon dispersed.

*Growl* "You hurt Grundy! So Grundy will hurt you!"

And with that, Grundy charged forward to nab the fallen hero. Vanitas had to quickly phase himself out of the broken wall and roll out of the way so he wouldn't get hit by the pale giant. Even though he missed his target, Grundy then pulled out a nearby lamp post out of the ground and swung it towards the helmeted Uzumaki. Vanitas quickly disarmed him by throwing several exploding cards at the pale man's hands before jumping up into the air and dive kicking him to the ground. Grundy rebounded and showed himself just as dangerous without a weapon as he grabbed the hero by the legs and punched him hard before throwing him away.

Grundy slammed his fists onto the street before digging his hands underneath to lift up a large chunk of pavement. He was going to throw it at the downed hero in hopes of causing major damage to him. Possibly squashing the helmeted man.

"Christened on a Tuesday!" Grundy bellowed out as he was about to throw his impromptu weapon. Though it didn't take long for something to intercept him from his little goal.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

"GAH!" Grundy bellowed out as explosions impacted him at several parts of his body. Even some of the explosions caused him to end up dropping the piece of street ontop of him to cause some damage onto himself. He then looked around for the source of the attack upon him. "WHO HURT GRUNDY?!"

"We did big guy!" Robin said as he and Batman some distance behind the giant of a man. "Hope you enjoy those since we've got more for you!"

*Growl* "GRUNDY SMASH!"

Seemingly leaping towards the Dynamic Duo, the two separated as they had to move out of the way from the giant's lunge. Both started to throw batarangs at the rotting man with a bit more force than they normally did. They would've held back if he was a normal person, but after seeing Vanitas' weapon pierce his side and the rotten flesh, the two realized that Grundy was no ordinary living being.

Some of the throwing weapons imbedded themselves into Grundy's arms and back, but he just swiped them off with one of his hands. He was getting quickly annoyed by the two as some of the sharp weapons exploded, leaving varying gaps into his body. Though they did heal up quickly, much to the Duo's surprise, it seemed to leave scars in the end.

Grundy charged yet again and this time towards the Dark Knight. The deadman was intercepted from some flash pellets, temporarily blinding him from his intended target before slamming into the nearby building. Once his vision cleared, he was barely successful in grabbing the Batman's cape and swung him around before slamming him onto the ground. He didn't stop there as he picked up the Bat by his chest, punching him into the air and hitting him several times before grabbing his sides and slamming him to a nearby car.

"Batman!" Robin cried out as he raced towards Grundy to protect his foster father's aide. He had thrown little bombs at the giant's feet, distracting and injuring his legs in the process. This gave the disguised Grayson to slide underneath before pivoting himself to upper kick the zombie from down below. Grundy then charged forward in his blind rage and slammed his fists towards them, only to miss as the Dynamic Duo dived out of the way. This caused the pale man to destroy the car in the process.

"There's got to be a way to stop him." Robin said as both he and Batman were thinking of various ideas at the present time.

"Married on a Wednesday!" Solomon yelled out as he picked up the ruined car and threw it towards the heroes.

Batman and Robin didn't react quick enough and they braced for impact. But they soon saw Vanitas land in front of the two and erected a barrier around them to stop the oncoming car. The two were relieved, but got a tad worried when they saw Vanitas' body language that he seemed to be really beaten up.

"Thanks for the save man."

"No problem Robin." The helmeted Uzumaki said as he kept his stance so the barrier would be kept in place. "Though I suggest we move pretty soon."

"Why?"

*SLAM* *SLAM* *SLAM*

"That's why!" Grunted out the helmeted hero as Grundy was slamming his fists onto the barrier in hopes of getting through. "I don't know how strong this guy is, but I won't hold this up for long!"

"Will you be alright Vanitas?"

"Yes I will Batman, but you get out of here now!" Vanitas said as he focused more power into his barrier from breaking apart. "Get out of here and think of something while I distract this guy!"

"Right."

The Dynamic Duo then left the barrier and used their grappling guns to get to higher ground to not only recover, but to also figure out their next move.

As for the helmeted publisher…

'Okay… Got a eight-foot tall zombie here. You would think he'd be the easiest thing in the world to take down.' Vanitas thought as he saw how Grundy was able to heal himself from the exploding batarangs and from his lance piercing his side. 'So what the hell is going on with this guy?'

"He is a champion of the Black young sapling."

'Yggdrasil?' Naruto thought in surprise as he staggered from the continuous blows onto his barrier. 'Why are you contacting me now?!'

"To tell you about this current fight." The ancient tree spoke out inside of the publisher's mind. "Like I've stated before, to which you must've ignored, that your opponent is a champion of the Black."

"Damn… No wonder he's so damn strong along with him having rotting flesh." Naruto muttered as cracks were starting appear on the barrier. He'll need to move out of the way very soon. "So is there any way in stopping this guy?"

"Just hold out a little longer until help arrives."

"And how do I do that exactly?"

"Using your scythe would obviously help." Was all Yggdrasil said before he ended the connection.

"Not much help there." Vanitas muttered as he saw Grundy bring down his fists one more time to break the barrier. The masked Uzumaki then dropped the barrier and jumped out of the way to not be pummeled by the zombie's attack. Vanitas then summoned Lunar Rose into his hands before he jumped over Grundy and slashed against the zombie's back.

"GAH! THAT HURT!"

"That was the idea!"

Vanitas had to jumped back several feet when the larger opponent tried to attack him once again. Several blows were missed or parried, but a lot of strength and effort was exhausted from such hits. Though some little help from above occurred as several exploding batarangs caused some good damage to distract the zombie for the moment.

"Who did that?!" Grundy grunted out as he looked for the source of the attack.

"Did you forget about us?!" Robin said from on top of one of the buildings with Batman standing parallel from the other side of the street.

"He probably did since he's actually a zombie Robin!"

"Good to know and thanks for the info Vanitas!" The boy wonder said before he had to move out of the way as a piece of road was thrown at him. "WHOA THERE! Watch where you're throwing that thing!"

"ROBIN FOCUS!"

"Right! Sorry Batman!"

The Dynamic Duo started to throw more batarangs at the zombie as the pale man started to run away from them in hopes they'll stop their little attacks. Even was trying to nab the helmeted hero in the process, but his attempts were futile with his quick reflexes. The attacks were getting really annoying for the pale zombie, even as several bladed swipes were being present on his body.

"GRUNDY WILL HURT YOU TWO THROWING PEOPLE!" Grundy bellowed out as he picked up a dumpster and threw it at Batman.

"NO!" Vanitas yelled out as he threw his scythe at the thrown object. It soon impacted it, getting the disguised Uzumaki to teleport to it before slicing it in half. When both pieces landed onto the street below, Naruto ended up on top of the building right next to Batman.

"We need to distract Solomon Grundy just a bit longer until help arrives."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Just trust me Bats."

"If you say so."

Their conversation soon ended as Grundy lept into the air and landed onto the same rooftop as the two heroes before swinging his arms at them. Both heroes quickly moved out of the way before they gave each other an unspoken gesture to possibly take turns for the offensive. Even Batman giving a hand signal for Robin to come to the assist.

As Robin made his way towards the two other heroes, Grundy slammed his hands onto the rooftop before Batman came in close to deliver a series of punches and kicks. Some of the blows were mostly focused on the arms in precise areas to try and stop certain nerve endings or joints. It seemed successful as Grundy had some difficulty trying to move his arms, but he didn't waste time in swinging them around in a wild fashion.

Vanitas soon caught one of the arms in the curvature of his scythe in hopes of locking it in place with his grappling scarfs shooting out of his arms to help holding him down. Even Batman and the newly arrived Robin fired their grappling guns to hold onto the other arm. It was the only thing they could try to think of for the time being as the three struggled a little of the zombie's strength pulling them in.

"So you say this man's name is Solomon Grundy?"

"Well he kept saying Grundy along with pieces of the old poem of the cycle of life." Vanitas struggled out as his feet were starting to slip a little. "So it seemed appropriate to call him that name, I think."

*Grunting* "As much as I'd like to discuss poetry and name calling here like everyone else." Robin started off as his arms felt they would pop out of their sockets. *Grunt* "We need to focus on NOT LETTING GO!"

Things came to a turn for the worse as Grundy started to spin around in place, lifting the three up into the air from their respective grappling equipments. It seemed to place the three in a merry-go-round of nausea and disorientation as the three were being spun in quickening speeds that one by one, each hero eventually lost slack and shot off towards one of the nearby buildings.

*Groan* "You were saying."

"Oh shut up."

When the three heroes tried to pry themselves out of the building's exterior wall, Grundy lept into the air and landed in front of them with a snarl on his face.

"Grundy will crush you all like bugs!" The pale zombie said as he walked closer to the three heroes.

Of course his progression ended as something shot out of the ground and knocked the Black champion away several feet. This left him in a daze before he shook his head for a few moments. When Grundy's vision got better; he, along with the other heroes then saw had just arrived. It appeared to be a giant orchid of sorts with green and pink markings all over the petals. This left the four men in a sense of confusion before something happened to the plant.

The giant flower soon opened up its flower petals as a plumb of pink spores were released in a smokey coverage. It wasn't long for the figure stepped out and off of the large flower before it receded back into the earth wits it came; making Vanitas, Batman and Robin somewhat recognize who this was. It took them a few moments in their thought processes on the new arrival, but they came to the same conclusion that this was Pamela Isley, otherwise known as Poison Ivy.

Pamela appeared to be wearing a black bodysuit of sorts that practically covered her entire form up to her head where a facemask was present. There were varying green markings on the black attire that were moss or leaf like on the legs, arms and torso areas while thorn like markings were present on the facemask. Even had branches and vines wrapped around certain parts of her body to help compliment her present look. To finish things off, she had green eyeshadow to help pop out her fierce glowing green eyes along with leaves in her hair.

The Green Champion! The voice in Grundy's head yelled out. She's finally here! Kill her Grundy! Kill her!

-Insert Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep: Dark Impetus Extended-

"Grundy smash Green lady!"

"I'd like to see you try." Ivy stated with a narrowed glance.

"RRAAAAAHH!"

And with that, Grundy charged at the new arrival with the voice in his head, telling him to destroy the woman in front of her. He raised his hands into the air before bringing them down hard in the attempt to breaking her bones in the attack. She moved out of the way in the last few moments before she raised her hand up and a large vine stock shot out of the ground to knock the zombie back.

With the ever present vine, Ivy controlled said vine to whip itself around the Rot's champion and start swinging him all over the place to deal with some good damage. It was a little funny in her eyes if she wasn't so serious at the present time. She then commanded it to let go, sending Grundy flying into the air and a good distance away. Seeing as things were in the clear, for now, she stepped forward towards the three heroes and helped get them out of their holdings with plants pushing/pulling them out.

"I hope I'm not too late for the party."

'She must've been who Yggdrasil was talking about.' Naruto thought in realization as he had a hidden smile behind his helmet of seeing her. Though part of him was extremely worried now for her safety.

"Nah… You just came in while things were getting good." Robin said as he dusted himself off and stretching out his back to get rid of a kink or two.

"What are you doing here Ivy?" Batman questioned the new arrival with a narrowed glance. He was going to call her out on her real name, but saw the news crew at the corner of his eye. 'They must've arrived sometime during the fight.'

"Just helping out and taking care of a common enemy Batman."

"Which would be what exactly?"

"Hmm…. Not telling." She replied with a joking tone and a tilt to her head.

"We can talk about this later Bats, but it seems our zombie friend is back to play." Vanitas said as he summoned back Lunar Rose into his hand.

Just as he said this, Grundy came flying into the air via giant leap and landed in front of the four people.

*Growl* "GRUNDY WILL CRUSH YOU ALL!"

The pale man rushed towards Ivy and tried to take her out, as she was the primary target from the voice in his head. He was intercepted from exploding batarangs nailing Grundy in the side of the head. The zombie shook off the blow and went back on the chase as he lifted up a nearby car over his head and hurled it at their general direction.

The men separated and moved out of the way while Ivy kept her place before summoning a giant vine from the earth to wrap it around the motor vehicle. Once secured, Ivy brought it down on the Rot champion several times until it was a pile of scrap heap. Though it seemed to hardly damage the monster, it'll take more than that to take him down, even as he doubled over a little.

Batman and Robin came in close and delivered several punches and kicks in rapid fire like fashion on the zombie's back. When they had to move away, they left behind a present for Grundy, whether he would want it or not. Grundy soon heard some beeping on his back and tried to reach for it with the bit of annoyance of the sound before it soon exploded, sending him forward from his position.

*Growl* "Grew ill on a Thursday." Grundy spoke out as he slammed one of his feet hard to the ground, giving off a miniature earthquake of sorts to shake up a lot of the present people. He did so again to leave a big enough crack in the ground so he could dig into the earth and pull out a large piece of road and chucked it at the heroes.

Batarangs soon pierced the back of the zombie's neck and exploded to rock Grundy forward. This made him howl in agony before turning around to see Batman with more of his weapons on hand. He roared and ran towards the Dark Knight as his attention was on him once again.

"How many of those do you have?!" Vanitas said as he ran to intercept the incoming charge.

"I'm not telling." Batman chimed back as he lept over the zombie and placed possibly the last of his exploding piece of arsenal on the pale man's back.

*BOOM* "GAH! ENOUGH OF THIS!"

"I believe that is what I can agree with the likes of you." Ivy said as she brought her arms back and whipped them forward to have wooden lances grow out of her arm and pierced one of the zombie's arms. They soon wrapped around the appendage and Ivy used a lot of her strength to lift the zombie up before slamming him down several times. More would've happened if Grundy didn't rip the plant out of his arm in a violent fashion, making the onlookers have varying reactions out of the action.

This distracted him enough for Vanitas to come around and swipe his scythe several times in a pinwheel styled attack before bringing the blade around the zombie's legs. He then swiped them back to tumble the Black champion down to the ground as Robin landed on top of the man to place the rest of his explosives on him. The attempt failed as Grundy got up and started to move around in a wild fashion to get the disguised Grayson off of him.

"GAH!" Robin cried out as he was being whipped around with his legs flailing about. "It's like fighting a bear!"

"And how would you know?!" Vanitas questioned, only to be met with Robin's colliding form against him as the two slammed against a nearby car.

"GOT WORSE ON FRIDAY!"

"Oh will you just shut up already!" Ivy yelled out as she continued her assault on the zombie. She got more plants to shoot out of the ground to send Grundy into the air before shooting vines out of her arm to wrap on his legs and brought him down. When colliding to the ground, he seemed to bounce right back and quickly snag Ivy into his grasps and started to squeeze her in a rough fashion.

"Grundy will destroy Green lady for voice in head!"

"Not going to happen." Ivy struggled out as she focused a lot of her power to get herself out of his predicament. "I've got a boyfriend to get home to."

With a bit on her strength, she focused and shot the building energy outward from her form to have giant thorns and spikes shooting out of several places in her body. They pierced through Grundy's hands and he bellowed out in agony, causing him to let go of her. The spikes receded as the Green champion ran back for a bit of breathing room away from the decaying man the group was facing.

"DIED ON A SATURDAY!"

"You're probably right on that Grundy." Vanitas muttered to himself. He then thrown his Lunar Rose to the highest part of the surrounding area before teleporting towards its location. From there, Vanitas lept off of it's surface to dive towards the zombie with a lot of strength behind his arms to give one hell of a swipe against his back. Grundy eventually saw this coming and tried to get away, but Ivy brought up several vines to keep his legs in place. Grundy tried to move, but was met with a powerful blow against his back as Lunar Rose dug deep inside.

With one last move, Ivy summoned forth several plants before they encircled around her arms and shot forward. They eventually pierced the zombie's chest and into the being's heart in hopes of finally finishing him off. It seemed successful as two blows of Green power was going through Grundy's system and started to break him down.

"Buried on a Sunday." The zombie muttered as his body slowly decayed and turned into dust. Leaving only the ruined clothes on the street.

'And that's the end of Solomon Grundy.' Was the unknowingly shared thought between the three male heroes.

Even though the day has been won, the heroes didn't realize that this won't be the last of them facing Solomon Grundy. As his essence has been sent back to Slaughter Swamp for him to recover and reform for the Black's purpose. For it's eventual revenge against the Green champion and her allies….

But why ruin the moment for them to know that little tidbit right now.

*Panting* "Well… That was crazy." Vanitas said as he tried to catch his breath from the difficulty of the fight.

"No kidding." Robin said in agreement as he rotated his arm and shoulder to get rid of some of the pain. "Man I think I must've pulled something with those constant throwing."

"You'll get used to it Robin." Chimed the helmeted hero.

"Whatever you say."

"I don't know about you boys, but I'd rather get out of here."

"Why's that?" Robin asked with little bewilderment. All that he got was a pointed finger from the changed botanist.

"Because of them."

"Oh…"

Soon varying news reports started to come rushing in with the attempt of asking the group on what happened and other unnecessary questions. Not wanting to deal with such a thing, the group left in their own separate methods. From Vanitas switching from his Lunar Rose to his Kazekage lance and taking off into the air, Ivy summoning a giant plant from one of the many holes in the street to get her a good distance away, while Batman and Robin ran towards the Batmobile and drove off.

Though with the later group, Batman nabbed the remains of Solomon Grundy so he could study the articles of clothing. Wanting to know who that zombie really was and what was going on. Though when things settle down, he'll confront Pamela and ask her on what she knows and why she involved herself with the fight.

-End Chapter-

AN:

So… Solomon Grundy. What you guys think?

Now to put down details on what I have done with the character is that I have made the Zombie Hulk of DC comics into a Champion of the Black/Rot. Reason being is in the New 52 Earth 2 comic line, Solomon Grundy was the champion of the Grey. And just to clear things up in Earth 2, writers have made the Grey and Black/Rot mush together into one nature color group to simplify things.

Now I had put down in details on chapter 20 of the nature color groups (not the Lantern color spectrum groups) of how certain champions for each group is chosen or whatever. With the Black/Rot, they get chosen by either a family line or just being the reanimated dead and getting a major power boost. Solomon Grundy is one such character.

Now even though I've killed Solomon in the chapter, he is coming back for obvious reasons. But asides from that, it's how he was made due to mixture of cursed magic, Slaughter Swamp and some other details that he'll reform time and time again and rise back out of Slaughter Swamp. Each time he does so will be wild cards on how strong he'll be along with smarts. He could end up Hulk level of strength or just super human strength in general, but his intellect will always be basically the same dumb range.

Also there is one other thing to fully clarify to you all that people have actually forgotten. Solomon Grundy is part plant elemental due to the swamp properties. The Green planned on having Solomon as a champion, but he didn't die of fire or his body didn't get consumed by fire during his mortal demise. So it keys a factor on how Solomon keeps coming back. It's really complicated to explain, but I'm just putting this out there now.

So the reason why this chapter came out late was that I needed a break badly. Just needed to rest my brain from writing, especially with writer blocks. Not only that, but I was on a family trip so I couldn't be on my laptop all that much. The wifi was not all that great and being with the family ate up a lot of my free time.

But after getting back from the trip, life and depression hit me hard like a truck. Even a lot of the free time I had was of me trying to find a new place to live due to the lease to my apartment was coming to an end and my current roommate is considering moving somewhere else to live with his girlfriend. So the stress was getting to me on leaving me with headaches due to thinking too much, combined with working a full day's work that I couldn't focus after work to work on the story.

H: Aw~ That's so sad….

Thanks Harley….. (Snapping my head in other direction) Harley! What the hell are you doing in my apartment!

H: Well~ you were taking so long to write your chapter that I wanted to come on by and check on things.

…..Okay.

H: That and I was going to see if you wrote my lemon yet.

*Groan* 'There it is.' Look Harley-

H: Nope. I don't want you to rush mine just yet. I want my relationship with Naru-poo to develop more. I'm an old fashioned girl you know.

…..Okay then.

H: But you better promise buster that it'll look great.

I do Harley. Count on it.

H: Good ^_^

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to treat myself and see the new Wonder Woman film.

H: The what now?

*Facepalm* Right…. Forgot that I'm setting my story mostly in the DCAU and Diana hasn't been introduced yet until later on.

(Suddenly I feel a pair of strong hands gripping my shoulders.)

H: Who is this Diana and Wonder Woman Jeb?

Eh….

H: I'm waiting….

…...Look over there. Naruto's naked!

H: What?! Where?!

(I flee from the scene before Harley catches up to me and beats me up for tricking her.)

Anyways, be sure to review this story guys! Would like the criticisms. Please and thank you!
