Chapter Two-Confrontations
The Suicide Squad had all reassembled in the spot that they first met, Slade had gotten the go ahead from Waller to began the mission, he had them all double check their weapons his philosophy was that you can never be too cautious. Deadshot was checking his rifle and then he nodded to Slade that he was ready for what ever came their way. They were going to go through the sewer system to get to Arkham thanks to Recon's earlier work, then once inside they would have Harley take point as she knew Ark ham rather well being that she use to work there, but Slade didn't trust her, she was the Joker's fiancee. Anyway they moved through the darkened streets of Gotham and into the sewers, Frost didn't want to get dirty so she got a ride on Shark's shoulders he didn't mind she was a cutie, and he liked her very much, he knew that she was rather Slutty but that didn't concern him at all. Sure enough Harley led the way but what annoyed Slade was the fact that she wouldn't shut the hell up in fact she hadn't shut up since they left.
"So guy's did I tell you all how I first meet Mr. J, oh it was magical, see when I was Interning at Arkham they had just brought in this new patient, Doc Young said that I shouldn't go anywhere near him, that he was dangerous, oh but he was dream, a god wrap up in a human vessel, the face all twisted and scarred but he looked cool with the Clown Makeup, they labeled him insane and took him to Intensive Treatment ward for observation.." Harley rambled on
"Harley shut up" Slade said
"Anyway, so in the Intensive Treatment ward Mr. J was under observations from Doc Young but she was too disturbed to work or try to even understand him, so I volunteered and what I learned was that he wasn't crazy just misunderstood, oh was he ever interesting, he told me that he wanted me to get him free, and then he'd show me the true meaning of life, he'd bring me flowers everyday, how he managed to sneak them in was a mystery, anyway I was so intrigued with him that one day I came to work dressed in Black and Red and even painted my face with the Clown Makeup to be just like him, I even had changed my name from Harleen to Harley, now this truly disturbed Doc. Young she fired me, well technically since I was only an Intern she let me go without signing my paperwork, but I didn't care.." Harley continued
Now Slade was really annoyed and said
"Damn it Clown girl, do you ever shut up, your continuous rambling is pissing me off, shut up already"
"So basically I found a way to break Mr. J out, it wasn't easy it took some thought and careful planning, I snuck back in after dark and busted him out, he was so grateful, he said Doll face I will never forget this for as long as I live and believe Harley you will never need to be alone again, then he kissed me on the lips and from that moment on I was forever in love with Mr. J, oh were close now by the way" Harley said
"Hey guys do you feel that vibration in ground, we are not alone, there something in water here" Shark said uneasily
"Well there is a rumor going around that the Crocodiles can get pretty big here, it's probably just one of them" Slade said
"Yeah I've heard that they are gigantic and they eat humans, hehehehehe" Harley chimmed in
"Seriously, that's unnerving, oh man" Shark said Frost still riding on his shoulder
"What is the matter Shark, Chicken?" Slade said
Everyone laughed except Shark who was angry
"Don't worry baby, I'm with you" Frost whispered in his ear, he started to blush a little.
Harley led them to the ladder that led to a manhole that opened up into the entrance of the Mansion, Penguin's Headquarters's located inside, Harley went up first her cute butt shaking a little, Slade followed, then Frost, Shark, Deadshot, and lastly Recon. Despite Harley's ramblings the team made it through the sewers with minimal effort.
Great there was a guard Harley waked up to the guard she unbuttoned her shirt a little exposing the top of her chest and a lot of cleavage, he spoke
"hold up there a second cutie but you aren't allowed to see the Penguin without an appointment, do you have an appointment?"
"We do have an appointment, check your list again?" Harley said winking a little and squeezing her boobs together then she smacked the list with the back of her hand knocking it into the thug's face he hit the ground hard
"okay dokay, let's go" Harley said
"Well Quinn, looks like I misjudged you" Slade said
"ah thanks, Slade" Harley said
Slade slammed the doors open with such force that it made Penguin jump
"Oye guess that is what I get for hiring thugs, so who are...oh shit it's you" Cobblepot said shaking nervously looking at Slade
Oswald Cobblepot or Penguin as he is called, is a short stocky little man with webbed fingers and toes and he wears a monocle on one of his eyes, his nose is elongated making him look like a Penguin as well, but there was no bigger arms dealer in all of Gotham.
"We have business to discuss Cobblepot, and don't think of running off Deadshot here will blow your brains out before you can say a word, we are going after Joker and first we need you're explosives, there is no negations here either." Slade said
"Why didn't you just say so, wait a tick I think it's right over there, see" Penguin said
"Hold up what is SHE doing here, Clown witch" Penguin said spotting Harley
"Hi ya Pengie, guess you haven't seen Mr. J around lately have you" Harley said
"Well love, last I saw of the J man he was with Freeze in the Penitentiary but maybe Ivy knows better she's made a home in the Gardens but honestly who didn't see that coming right" Penguin said
"Thanks, you're not that bad of a guy, I misjudged you Pengie" Harley said
"No problem love" Penguin said
Now Penguin had all of them right where he wanted them he was hitting a button below his desk that would open the trap door that they where standing on, and in an insistent the Suicide Squad had fallen through the door to the area below where he had a big surprise waiting, then he laughed nygaghahgha and then said "Imbeciles"
Selina was defiantly in the Gardens and she spotted a lot of Ivy's weird plants oh yeah this was where Ivy was for sure, she just had to follow the scent in the air the weird odor of plants and pheromones
Selina was rounding the corner when she stopped and noticed a certain statue of the Wayne's Thomas and Martha Bruce's Parent's they founded the money for the Gardens before their tragic deaths and she said silently to herself "oh Bruce, hope your safe" then she continued on.
She stopped at a door and cracked it open to eavesdrop on the conversation it was kinda funny and weird but that was Ivy.
"You have to stop this Ivy, this isn't how it should be, you need help, and I can get it for you,please let me go" A male voice said
"Oh Dr. Burton, you are sadly mistake, there is nothing wrong with me, it was you that decided to cast Uma Thurman as me in that piece of cinematic garbage called "Batman and Robin" how dare you" Ivy said
"What are talking about Ivy, you are talking like this is a script for a movie or something, it's called delusion of reality and hon you have it bad, but if you release me I'll help you, that is what I do" Dr. Burton said
"It could have have been Scarlet Johansson at least" Ivy said
Selina snuck in for a better look and it was Ivy alright, she always looked like a prostitute she wore only a shirt with her breast exposed and green panties making it look like she was bottomless but she wasn't, her skin green from the venom in her veins and bright red hair down to her shoulders, Ivy was rather attractive and she also was a master of seduction, men get stupid in her presence, that is because of her pheromones, Selina was proud that she was a woman Ivy's charms and trickery wouldn't affect Selina, she got closer, now she had a better view of Ivy's hostage it really was Dr. Burton and like Selina thought he was under Ivy's spell.
He was wrapped in one of her plant vines and hanging upside down his glasses barley on his face he was an older man but his hair was frizzy and black, and he was in a trance like state like all of Ivy's victims. Somehow Selina would have to free Dr. Burton, he was one of the most important Doctors at the facility, just as important as Dr. Young was.
"Well if you give me a kiss Doctor, I might consider freeing you, what you don't like me?" Ivy said placing her hands all over Dr. Burton drawing him in with her pheromone control
"I mustn't, your my patient Ivy and I'm your Doctor, that would violate the Doctor Patient confidentiality rule" Dr. Burton said
"There's no one around but you and I. Its just the two us, you and I" Ivy said whispering the last part sweetly in his ear
"no Ivy, stop" Dr. Burton said
Ivy leaned in closer to Dr. Burton licked her lips and was just about give him a kiss on his lips when Selina cracked her whip and wrapped it around his legs pulling him away from her at the last second, Selina had saved the Doctor for now, and she could see the anger in Ivy's eyes she spoke to Dr. Burton.
"There's a reason that she is called Poison, Doctor if I hadn't saved you at the last second her kiss would have killed you, she releases venom from her lips that is one of her abilities, so stay here out of sight, I'll be back"
"Who are you pretty Cat lady, thank you" Dr. Burton said
"Catwoman, I'm a friend of Batman's, well more then just his friend" Selina said walking up to Ivy
"Selina, I should have known, you have a lot of nerve coming here Catwoman" Ivy said angrily
"Nice to see you too Ivy what you don't want to kiss me? Are you not into girls, cause I was hoping for some girl on girl action, oh well" Selina said
"Funny Selina" Ivy said
"I try, now where's Joker and what is his plan" Selina said
"I don't know I don't like the way that pale creep looks at me, and I haven't seen him in a few hours" Ivy said
"Harley hasn't contacted you either?" Selina asked
"No I haven't seen her either" Ivy said
"Too bad, so why torture the poor Doctor Ivy?" Selina said
"I have my reasons Selina, none of your concern" Ivy said
Just then Selina felt a shocking sensation, one of Ivy's thugs tazered her until she collapsed to the ground as she was fading from conciseness she heard Ivy say
"Take her away take her to our special guest, how he hates when people are late"
Then Selina was out cold, she was so close to getting answers too, Damn it...
Back at the penitentiary Batman had grappled up to the ceiling to over hear the conversation between Mr. Freeze and Joker.
"Where is my wife Clown, where have they taken her" Freeze said to Joker
"Heard from Doc. Young that they moved her to the Medical Building for observations then doc Young said that you aren't to go anywhere near her, your relationship is borderline obsession, and they say that I'm the crazy one, hahahahaha" Joker said
"Stow it Clown, I demand to see Nora! Now!" Freeze said angirily
"I'm telling you not to go to the Medical Building seriously man there's something weird going on man, Doc Young had to hightail it to her office, now what do you think spooked the poor doctor so." Joker said
As much as Batman wanted to end things with Joker, he had to be smart about this his chances of surviving a battle with both Mr. Freeze and the Joker were minimal at best then he said silently
"The Medical Building? Something fishy is going on, I better check this out, The Doc's maybe in trouble" Batman said leaving the room unnoticed.
Dr. Young was really nervous she locked her office door and turned off the lights and hid. Victor Zaaz was stalking her, and that scared her half to death, he was really nuts, no amount of medicine could cure him.
In the Gardens
Dr. Burton saw this opportunity to escape he had to get to Dr. Young, these inmates where out of control, what was that all about with Ivy, it was almost as if he was in love but he was married and had children, the effects of her toxins wearing off, he saw those love struck thugs drag off that pretty Cat Lady, he didn't understand any of this, He was grateful to her for saving his life and if he could he would thank her.
Slade and company woke up in a pitch black room he hated being tricked he'd make Penguin pay, Harley was in the corner upside down, Frost landed on Shark, Deadshot and Recon woke up on either side of Slade, then Harley said
"Owww, I landed on my head but that's ok, I hit my head plenty"
"That explains a lot" Slade said whipping off his pants "Somebody help her out will you"
Deadshot walked over and helped Harley to get to her feet
"Thanks" Harley said winking
"No problem" Deadshot as they rejoined the group that had gathered in the center of the room
"Hey Sharky, thanks for breaking my fall" Frost said getting up and off of Shark
"Nah no problem, it was nothing" Shark responded
Nobody said anything for a moment and in a instance out of nowhere a booming voice spat out a stupid rhythm:
"Born on a Monday...Christened on Tuesday..Married on Wednesday, took ill on Thursday..got worse on Friday, died on a Saturday, Buried on Sunday..." then the voice stopped for a minute and then this gigantic Zombie appeared out of the darkness and then he said as he took a swing at the team
"That is the Tale of Solomon Grundy"
Slade dodged the onslaught of blows from Grundy and he thought to himself great how could this get any worse
Then they heard Penguin laughing from above and an intercom clicked on and he said
"Better watch yourselves with that one, he can be rather mean,nygahahhahh"
"Watch your Arses, Task force" Penguin continued
Harley was so scared that she couldn't move she fell to the ground and started to shake, she had never been more scared, not even the first time that she had her period. Frost went to console her, while the guys confronted Grundy one after another they attacked but they were getting no where fast. Grundy proceeded to grab Recon and tossed him around like a rag doll, and then ripped him clean in two, a brutal end for poor Recon. Grundy then tossed Recon's two halves aside and lunged at Slade again. Slade dodging every attack, this was going nowhere if they meant to stop Grundy then they'd have to work together there was no other way, as much as the thought bugged Slade. Shark lunged at Grundy and bit down on the Zombie's neck but Grundy grabbed him and threw him hard against the wall he was knocked out cold. Slade and Deadshot nodded at one another and then Slade said
"Here's the plan Deadshot you circle around him and start firing and I'll do the same from the other side, he has to have a weakness"
"Understood" Deadshot responded
Then in a fury of bullets both Deadshot and Slade continued to barrage Grundy and like in a film by John Woo they exchanged shot for shot in slow motion and with this living corpse, one of the shots had exposed a weak spot in Grundy's chest, now if Slade could just get close enough he could deliver the final blow, but in order to do so he'd need a distraction from Deadshot, He shouted
"Deadshot get his attention Keep firing I see a weakness"
"Got you Boss" Deadshot said firing at Grundy providing Slade the opportunity he would need to get in close enough to plant a grenade.
As Deadshot continued to fire and distracted Grundy Slade Jumped on him unclipped the pin of the grenade and tossed into the small opening on Grundy and he jumped back off, Deadshot jumped away as well, then Kaboom, the grenade had blown up inside of Grundy, he hit the ground hard shaking it as he collapsed he wasn't moving and wasn't going to be anytime soon either, they did it Grundy was down and now Penguin had to pay, but they were trapped how would they get up there?
"Nice shooting Tex" Slade said to Deadshot
"Same to you Slade" Deadshot responded
Recon was dead and Shark unconscious, Harley was still shaking and whimpering a little. Then Slade heard Penguin again
"That's not suppose to happen, oye you cheated Slade, this isn't over"
"I've told you before Cobblepot that I don't fight fair" Slade said
"Slade, I can fly up there and then lower a rope or something" Frost said
"You can fly?" Slade asked
"Yeah, like this" Frost said and sure enough she was in the air heading to the trap door, it was sealed shut but she had a plan, she shot ice at the door freezing it and then proceeded to smash through it the door and ice shattered in a flurry of ice and wood, and she was now face to face with Penguin and rather pissed off at him
"You're going to release them or I'll kill you here and now, understand" Frost said her eyes glowing with intensity and hatred
"A rope or ladder right now!" Frost screamed she was scary when she was angry
"He...re..re, take it, please don't kill me? Please I beg of you" Penguin said
"Hope that Slade feels differently" Frost responded
"Catch Slade honey" Frost said as she tossed down the rope so the others could get out
"Nice job Frost" Slade said climbing out, Deadshot followed then Harley, and lastly Shark who regained conciseness
"Pengie that was a dirty trick, I'll make sure to tell Mr. J and you'll be sorry, I don't like you anymore" Harley said sticking her tongue out at at Penguin
"Sorry you feel that way love" Penguin responded lighting up a cigar
"Now where is Joker?" Slade demanded slamming his hands down on the desk in angry
"Poison Ivy should know, try the gardens, Ivy's there" Penguin said
"Explosives, NOW,"Slade demanded slamming his hands down again
"Sur..sure, here you go" Penguin said handing the explosives to Slade who tucked them in his belt and motioned for the team to follow, as they were leaving Deadshot pulled out his gun and blew up Penguin's cigar as with his hand that he was using to take it out, Penguin screamed in pain. He would live but wouldn't be able to use that hand ever again.
"Bingo!" Deashot said as he followed the others
"Waller this is Slade, we have the explosives and there was a bit of a snag with the Penguin, but we're moving on" Slade said into his intercom
"Excellent job team, you're making excellent progress, get anymore leads on Joker's plan yet?" Waller responded
"Heading to Ivy's place in the gardens that is where Penguin said we'd get or next lead" Slade said
"Get on with it Task force, over and out" Waller said
"Geez not one for conversation I suppose, well beggers can't be choosers I guess" Slade said
"Wait what about Recon? Are we just going to shrug it off like it was nothing?" Harley said
"I know that this sounds harsh but we're leaving him, we have to move on, this is war "Slade
said
"Ouch, that's cold Slade, Frosty?" Harley said looking to her friend
"Well, it can't be helped, hope Ivy's more cooperative then Penguin was" Frost asked looking back to Harley
"yeah Ivy will, she's a hell-uva nice person, that goes double if your a guy, but that's just her personality or her abilities" Harley said giggling
"Whatever, let's just keep going, where almost there, I see the gardens already" Slade said leading the group to the garden steps.
Batman didn't understand why Joker was so scared of the Medical Building everything seemed to be in order here, except they was a weirdness in the air and it smelled terrible to boot. As he walked through the lobby he noticed that smell getting worse and his skin got paler then Joker's when he realized what was causing that horrible smell. Batman was looking at a bunch of dead bodies most of which looked like the staff and they seemed to have been dead for hours, he noticed the bodies of Dr. Chen, Dr. Young, Dr. Burton, and Homie the Clown, and then his heart felt heavy as he saw another body right in the center of the rest and he recognized whose it belonged to, it was Selina's. He was too late, he had lost the one woman that he had ever truly loved, and it was all his fault if he hadn't wasted his time tracking Joker down in the penitentiary he could have saved her, this was like when he lost his parents he was defenseless. But how'd this even happen they looked like they were massacred who did this and for what purpose. He got closer to Selina's body tears running down his cheeks and he spoke
"Oh Selina, NO, SELINA, I failed you, I don't deserve to be a hero, I'm nothing without you, I.. I should have tried to save you, why didn't I save you instead of going after Joker, my selfishness got you killed, Just like with my parents, I'm so useless" Batman said
He held her body close to him and rocked her back and forth gently in his arms and cried then he heard a familiar voice, one he knew all to well
"Are those Tears for Fears, I see on your face, Batman?" The voice said
"Crane, what is all this why kill the Doctors to what purpose, and my Selina too" Batman said
"They were a necessary loss but it useless to try and stop me now, I have you right where I want you"Scarecrow responded and then said
"Welcome Batman to my Mad World, you are powerless to stop me" Crane laughed
"You are right Batman you failed everyone, you couldn't protect your little girlfriend, your Parents or the poor Doctors as well, your a disgrace to the wear Cape and Cowl, Bruce Wayne, give up and go back to being a nobody, hahahahhahha" Crane said
"Show yourself Crane! We end this now!" Batman said
Now Batman was mad, and realized that he was under the affect of Crane's fear gas, the room was spinning uncontrollable he grabbed his head and fell to the ground and screamed, "get out of my head Crane"
"No, I have you now Batman" Crane said
"You coward Crane, show yourself and fight me like a man" Batman said
Batman looked around again and the body wasn't Selina's but a Nurses, and the other body's were thugs and some of the Medical staff,so it wasn't Selina after all, this was just Scarecrow using his mind tricks. If Selina wasn't dead then where was she, maybe she was still in Garden with Ivy, but where did Crane go?
"Damn, he fooled me, but I won't get fooled again" Batman said
Batman felt a slight stinging sensation in his back like that of a cattle prod, he fell to the ground and before he passed out he heard two voices one was Crane and the other Joker's.
"Take Batman to our special guest in the Gardens, he doesn't like when people are late, hahahahhahahahha" Joker said
"Is it time to proceed in the Alan Parson's Project?" Crane said
"Yes Crane go ahead, let's make sure that our guest keeps Batman busy I have a wedding to attend to, mine,hahahhahaha, I'm sure that Harley is with Ivy by now, I'm going to go see, one more thing Crane make sure that Freeze doesn't get to his wife, have you moved her yet?" Joker said
"Not yet, but if you demand it Joker it will be done" Crane said
"Excellent, I trust you'll not fail me Crane? You know how I don't tolerate failure" Joker said walking away laughing all the way.
Harley was getting excited every step in the Garden was one step closer to Ivy, she hadn't see Ivy in a long time. There in front of the group stood the entrance to Ivy's lair and sitting with her legs crossed on a Venus fly trap was none other then Ivy. Harley couldn't control herself anymore and ran up to her friend and gave her a huge hug.
"Hiya Red, you miss me?" Harley said
"Oh Harley, it's been forever" Ivy said hugging Harley back
Then out of nowhere Harley gave Ivy a big kiss right on her lips, she wiggled her tongue around inside of Ivy's mouth, Ivy didn't resist she just kissed back doing the same thing to Harley.
"Now that's something you don't see everyday" Slade said
"Damn straight that's fucking hot" Shark said
"Totally" Frost agreed she was getting wet watching the other girls making out
"yeah it is" Deadshot agreed
"Looks like our little show is making our friends horny Harley" Ivy said
"Sure is Ivy, by the way doll, where is my snickerdoodle, you know Mr.J?" Harley said
"Not sure, Harley I saw him a little while ago, he was in the Intensive Treatment ward in a session with Professor Strange, Strange's command center is located within the Intensive Treatment ward" Ivy said
"That's where we first met Mr. J and I, ah memories" Harley said nestling her head into Ivy's shoulder
"Professor Strange, he must be the one pulling the strings here" Slade said
"Indeed, Joker is working with Strange but why I can not say, if you want answers head to Intensive Treatment, also I overheard Joker saying something about a stupidly titled Plan to poison all of Gotham called Alan Parson's Project, I believe he plans on having Scarecrow dump his fear gas into the waterways under the Intensive Treatment ward there is a way back into the sewers from the main elevator shafts, I should warn you all, that Intensive Treatment is locked down by Heavy Guard and if you make it to the sewers watch out I hear that Crocodiles have been seen in that area, large Crocodiles." Ivy said
"Great that's just what I wanted to hear" Shark said nervously
"Well, I'm staying here with Ivy so this is where I leave you, it's up to you now Slade, and Frosty I'd like to be your friend so come back alive ok" Harley said
"Ok yeah I'd like to be your friend too Harley, so I promise" Frost responded
"Whatever, then off we go, thanks Ivy" Slade said
"No problem cutie, no get out I need some quality time with Harley here" Ivy said looking at Harley
"Oh Ivy" Harley said blushing a little as Ivy licked her cheek
"Oh we don't get to see the show, bummer" Shark said disappointed
"Sorry private show" Harley said motioning the team to leave she was really horny
"Ok" Slade said the rest of the team followed and then Ivy said
"Make sure to shut that door got it, no more surprises tonight"
"OK" Deadshot said as he closed the door behind them
Slade put his hand to his earpiece to contact Agent Waller
"Waller, it's Slade, we just learned the Joker's plan thanks to Ivy, Joker is having Scarecrow dump his fear gas into the water ways below Gotham, he intents to poison Gotham, we're checking it out, it could be a trap, this Hugo Strange guy is supposedly in the Intensive Treatment ward under heavy guard, it won't be easy but we're going for it." Slade said
"Yes, check it out, then report back" Waller said
"Will do, and Quinn betrayed us she's with Ivy, I thought she may do that, she should never have been trusted" Slade said
"No big loss, hurry to Intensive Treatment" Waller said
"Understood, alright team time for some real action" Slade said smiling under his mask
