Hey! I'm so sorry it took so long…But I've been getting ready for college and so I've been super busy and I've been planning this story out and trying to figure out how to make everything mesh together. J Please review. Oh…yeah, I'm going to be revising the first few chapters of this story and will be adding new stuff/dialogue. You may wanna check it out!
A familiar tune filled the bathroom as Rhiannun took a nice hot shower. When she was finished, she let out a giggle and quietly sang the last few words as she wrapped a towel around herself, "Happy birthday to me!"
She dried off and started to dress quickly as her stomach grumbled, the smell of Ivy's cooking wafting through the halls. As soon as she was done she made her way to the table for breakfast.
Ivy smiled at Rhiannun and set a fine breakfast of French toast and fresh fruit before her: Rhiannun dug in while Ivy sat and watched her with penetrating green eyes.
After a while Rhiannun paused and looked at Ivy, "What's up Ivy? Is there something on my face?"
The two laughed as Ivy waved her hand lightly, "No! It's just we need to go out tonight."
Rhiannun sighed, "What is it this time?"
Ivy gave her a small secretive smile, "Well…The Gotham Botanical Museum of Rare and Unusual Flora is exhibiting the Giant Hogweed."
Rhiannun smiled and tried not to laugh, "You're interested in Giant Hogweed?"
Ivy sighed and rolled her eyes, "You don't even know what it is, do you?"
The other woman shook her head and Ivy sighed again, "Let's just say it's extremely poisonous."
Rhiannun nodded uncertainly, "Ivy…Should you really be doing this? I don't think this is a good idea."
Ivy shrugged, "Say what you will Sweet Pea: I'm going and you're coming…After all, we don't want another 'accident' to happen."
Rhiannun shuddered: Last time she had chosen to stay behind she almost got eaten…by the plants.
Rhiannun nodded in defeat, "Alright."
Ivy grinned, "Be ready to go in five hours."
Rhiannun took her plate to the sink and went back up to her room. She sat on her bed and closed her eyes, 'Happy birthday to me.'
Later that evening Ivy knocked on the door, "Ready Hon?"
Rhiannun opened the door and let out a dejected, "Yeah."
Ivy's eyes widened, "What's wrong?"
The other woman gave her a look, "You know I hate doing stuff like this…It's one thing when politicians are being, well, politicians….but Ivy, you're making me a thief."
Ivy's eyes softened as she reached forward and rubbed Rhiannun's shoulders in a soothing motion, "Come on…this isn't that bad. I mean after all you're not quiet so innocent yourself."
Rhiannun froze, remembering that Ivy was oblivious to the truth. Rhiannun let out a laugh, "Yeah, I guess I just wasn't thinking…let's go."
So the two headed out into the night.
About an hour later the two women were in an dark smelly alley, pressed against the building as they worked their way to the back door of the museum. Ivy used her vines to pick the locks and turn off the outside security system.
"You stay here, I'll be out soon." Ivy told her.
Ivy disappeared into the building while Rhiannun stayed leaned against the cool brick staring up at the smog filled sky.
She don't know how long she stood there but she nearly screamed when a black mass flew above her head and a moment later she heard glass break and the security system blared.
Rhiannun then decided that she was done with this whole thing and she was going to turn herself in. She went to run out into the streets but when Poison Ivy and Batman came flying out of the building, she found herself pressed against the wall, watching as the two had it out.
Batman appeared to have the upper hand as Ivy was trying to protect her precious Hogweed. Ivy was making too many mistakes and Batman only seemed to land hits. O
Over the blare of the alarm police sirens could be heard coming their way. Rhiannun looked over and saw the worried look on Ivy's face: She knew it was almost over and she was desperate to get out.
She glared at Batman, "You're not taking me!"
She then released her poison into the air and during the smoke and confusion Batman lost sight of Ivy and shot into the air to try and locate her.
Rhiannun tried to look through the smoke but she found herself becoming dizzy and extremely nauseous. She clung to wall for support, but she couldn't help herself as she lost her grip and fell, shake involuntarily, "I-I-Ivy!"
She felt the other females presence, "Sorry Sweet Pea…Please don't take this personally, but I can't have you in the way. I hope you die peacefully."
Ivy disappeared as Rhiannun called out for anyone to help her. Her vision started to blur as she fought to stay awake and tears started to form: She had been abandoned, betrayed, and poisoned. This was not how she wanted it to end...especially on her birthday.
She tried to stand up, fighting the side affects of Ivy's poison. She managed to get up, but on taking a single step she came crashing down onto the concrete, her head bleeding from the harsh contact.
She looked towards the end of the ally and thought how far off it seemed and knew she would never be able to get there before the poison took over and she died.
She saw the alley turn into a blinding light and she could have sworn she saw an angel of paradise come to bring her to heaven. Her eyes closed accepting death but her lips managed to mumble out, "Scarecrow."
