Here is chapter three, written by me! (Hey, that rhymed!) ANYWAY - I hope you like it!
As I looked at my window, an idea was starting to form in my mind. Maybe I could still make it to school in time for my social studies class. I could definitely study for my finals there! Normally I wouldn't be so intent on studying and going to school, but the grades on the final exams were what college professors were going to see and decide if they wanted you in the school or not. So what if I still had a couple years to go until then?
I took another sip of my tea. Then I yawned, and realized that Alfred must have made tea that helps you sleep. Ignoring my increasing fatigue, I walked over to the window. I grabbed my school bag and headed out.

Walking to school, I tried to figure out a way to stay out of Tim's sight. This was the first time I wished we didn't go to the same school. But we passed each other in the hallways several times during the day and we also had the same social studies class. I was close to the school campus when I stopped. How in the world was this going to work without me getting caught? Before I could figure it out, a green blur came hurtling straight toward me. I didn't have time to jump out of the way before it tangled itself around me, squeezing tightly. I dropped my school bag as it lifted me off the ground. As I struggled to get free, a figure walked out of the alley the vine had come from. A lady was clad in green from head to toe and she had bright red hair. It was Poison Ivy! I had seen her in newspapers from the times that Batman and Robin had fought her. Wasn't she supposed to be in Arkham?
"Well, what do we have here?" She asked while the vines were still squeezing me. She came closer and the vines brought me down to her so that we were face to face. "And what is your name, darling?"
"What the -?! Why would I tell you?" I snapped. "Put me down!"
"My, my." She said. "You're a feisty one." The vines lifted me higher as I struggled even more. If only I had thought to bring my utility belt, I could've sliced these stupid things to bits! "As long as you're just hanging out, pay attention. I am Poison Ivy!" She struck a pose as more vines and flowers curled out around her feet.
"I couldn't tell," I replied sarcastically.
"No interrupting! It's rude!" She lifted her hand and a vine wrapped around my mouth. "I know you're acquainted with the Bat. I don't know how yet, but I will find out. Meanwhile, I need you to tell him something for me. Tell him that Ivy's come to play." Her vines tightened around me. I could feel the thorns against my skin. She started to back up. "I have things to do and things to steal. Ta-ta, darling."
All at once, the vines released me and Ivy had disappeared. I dropped to the ground. Thanks to my training, I landed mostly on my feet. I took a few deep breaths, grateful that I wasn't constricted anymore. I was mad. If only I had been Blue Jay I could've totally kicked her butt! And what the heck was she doing out of jail, anyway?
I looked down. I had a cut on my arm from one of the thorns on the vine. It looked pretty deep and was bleeding badly. It really hurt! That only fueled my anger. My school uniform was a little torn up. There was no going to school now. I picked up my bag and ran back to the house, holding my bleeding arm the whole way.
