Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn 1

Part 1 Intruder in the Night

Chapter 6

Ivy sat up screaming the horror of the nightmare rattling around her brain, it seemed so real, and yet here she was sitting up in her bed dripping with sweat and she blushed at thought, something else. She looked around at the not destroyed room, it seemed moments ago that the Joker had barged in and murdered Harley, who died in Ivy's arms, but it had just been a dream and that means Ivy thought with a sigh, the whole thing must have been a dream. She goes to get up but falls back on her bed. Shocked she comes to the realisation that the nightmare has left her mentally and physically drained. She settles back down under the covers afraid to fall asleep as her thoughts drift back to Harley, Ivy sighs and grins with the little energy she has left she slips her hand under the covers.

The roof suddenly explodes sending debris and a giant cloud of dust raining down on very frightened and shocked Ivy.

"Joker," her brain screamed at her, she went to fling herself out of her bed as a giant chunk of room came crashing down on her leg, she let out a gasp and curved back in pain, not having the energy to summon any plants big enough to help her she laid back grimacing and waited. She didn't have to wait long.

-Batman had been dealing with a small armed robbery when his Bat-Communicator buzzed urgently, he placed his hand to the side of his mask and pressed a button that patch the link into his head piece.

The voice of Alfred buzzed in his ear. "Sorry to bother you sir but Bat-Sensors and Cameras have picked up strange going ons, over at the old warehouse estate, particularly the old fertiliser company.

Batman was already speeding there in the Batmobile before Alfred could suggest he investigate.

"The plants seem to be going crazy over their Master Wayne," Alfred informed him via a screen in the Batmobile, as Bruce brought up another video screen that showed several angles of the fertiliser building.

"I see what you mean." Bruce replied, as he watched the plants on the screen. "Ivy is definitely pissed off at something."

The face of Nightwing suddenly filled the screen. "Do you need any help?" he asked eagerly.

Bruce just stared at the screen. He had strictly told them not…but if Dick was there…

"Where are Tim and Barbara," He demanded.

Dick seemed taken aback, mentally kicking himself for bringing it up. A blush had started to appear on his cheeks. "Ummmm," he began. "They're um, asleep."

The blush didn't go unnoticed. "If I find them in the same room when I get back there will be hell to pay." Bruce growled at the screen before slamming it closed.

He shook his head, Tim and Barbara had been getting rather 'close' which each other over the past two years, Alfred had told him to let them be and that it was a part of 'growing up' and Batman let them be, well, that was until just months after Barbara's 18th he had found them in the same bed. He was so furious with them he grounded them from being Robin and Batgirl for a month and had to call in Dick. But that had been half a year ago. And now… he shook the thoughts out of his head. Not now. There was a mission at hand.

A beeping coming from the control panel beeped signalling he was approaching his destination.

Back in his mask Batman looked at the large plants flailing wildly out the front of the fertilizer company, it was if they were in a panicked state yet they didn't attack which Batman found very curious as he entered the building.

It wasn't hard to find Ivy's hideout in the almost bare warehouse, cleverly hidden in the back corner under a pyramid of fertilizer crates. Batman started to place explosives, when he thought otherwise, started silently drilling a hole in the concrete using a prototype tool based off of Superman's heat vision, once he had finished he dropped a small orb the size of a ball-bearing in it and took a step back, fiddling with controls on his gauntlet. The ball twitched and uncurled, transforming into a Bat-Spider, a remote control robot that acts similar to a normal spider except it can use telecommunications, infrared and sonar as well as other things.

The Bat-Spider crawled down the small hole and into Ivy's lair, using the Bat-Spider's night vision he found Ivy easily, she appeared to be in bed sound asleep but what actually worried him was her pulse, it was unusual even for Ivy, it was going 195 beats per minute and she was shaking uncontrollably, out of actual concern Batman was about to blow the hatch to get to her when there were several crashes from outside, he checked the cameras, the plants were falling over puzzled he looked back on the Bat-Spider's camera screen and realised that Ivy's heart rate was back to 'normal' she had awoke. Batman watched the screen as Ivy looked around panicking, and then lay back on the bed, her heart beat rising slightly as she put her hand… Batman slammed the screen down, a blush forming on his cheeks for what he could have just witnessed.

Batman sighed she must be shaken up by whatever happened and she was… his brain told him not to think about it, but was he seriously about barge in like this she was a villain after all, he sighed again, and composed himself putting on the 'mask' that was the Dark Knight as he pushed the button.

He landed with a dull thud and emerged from the dust Batclaw in one hand and a Batarang in the other, the Dark Knight looked around menacingly, observing his surroundings. Ivy let out a little gasp; at least it wasn't the Joker but still, the Batman had her and she was powerless against her.

Batman noticed her current position and a little of his mask fell away, he walked over to her and went to help her, Ivy instinctively, disregarding her current position, tried to put as much space between her and the Dark Knight, but let out a gasp as pain shot through her leg but that didn't sway her to continue as she was until he did something that shocked both her and himself. He put a calming hand on her shoulder and told her to relax and that he was going to help her. Ivy was hesitant but she obliged, she lay back and let Batman lift the boulder off her leg she was amazed at the fact the weight of it didn't seem to bother him.

Ivy went to get up but stopped, she wasn't sure if it was her leg which was throbbing uncontrollably or this curiousness of why the Dark Knight turned around so abruptly. She looked down and let out a gasp and blush, she was only wearing, blushing deeper, her red and black panties, her wet, no, soaked red and black panties, a tear came to her eye,they made her think of Harley, she thought, but pushed the thought away at the situation at hand, Batman had seen her practically naked. Ivy nearly slapped herself when she felt a grin creep onto her mouth, normally she would say some smart ass comment but she was far too exhausted, she picked up her incredibly dusty silk nightie and put it on.

Feeling awkward she reached out an arm for Batman's shoulder but hesitated, instead she quietly cleared her throat. Batman for the first time was unsure to think let alone do, so hesitantly he turned around; he had to bite his lip because what he saw wasn't any better to what he had seen previous.

"Well, at least she's covered." He thought, he was about to go when his conscience kicked in, he couldn't let the inmates see her, let alone the guards, she was a criminal yes, but she didn't deserve that fate, no one did.

"Go change. Now!" He said through gritted teeth.

He walks away without another word and goes and stands in front of the smashed television, leaving Ivy to change into her green leafy leotard. She limps over and once again clears her throat. Batman ready this time looks out of the corner of his eye before turning.

"Better." He says with a slight nod, he then wraps an arm around Ivy, both blushing, and shoots a grapple up above his head which pulls both him and her out of Ivy's now destroyed place.

Ivy was then walked, well in her case limped to the Batmobile, she climbed inside and soon Batman was seated beside her, his 'mask' back on. The large car's wheels screeched as they took off to Arkham. They were barely 500m down the road when flipped a red leaver on the dashboard which resulted in a large explosion behind them, Ivy didn't need to turn around to know what happened, Batman had blew up her hideout to stop her returning when she escaped again, this always happened but Ivy still had to turn to look away tears formed in her eyes and her thoughts drifted to Harley. Batman's mask remained carved like stone but underneath was a storm of emotion. The Batmobile was fast but it was going to be another twenty minutes before they got to Arkham.

Meanwhile on the other side of town four purple and orange vans raced away from a bank they had just robbed.

Ok first of I know Batman seems a little OOC but I wanted to make him a little kinder and I guess fatherly towards Tim, Dick and a little towards Barbara.

I also wanted to mention when I wrote about his 'mask' the song "Let It Go" from Frozen kept playing in my mind.

But of course please tell me what you think about my version of the Batman. Have I made him a little too kind?
