Chapter 4

I wake up because sunlight is burning my back as I sleep. I try to get up but I remember that I am being tied up in a sack. Someone had just kidnapped me a few hours ago. Or was it days?

I yawn and try to move because my stiff limbs are hurting me and my stomach growls. "Is somebody hungry?" a sultry voice asks. Someone unzips my bag and I look up at the face.

Her skin is a palish green and she was beautiful red hair that goes a little past her shoulders. "What am I doing here and why have you kidnapped me?" I ask her. She gives a little wave of her hand as if it's just a joking matter. She reaches for something and the beautiful smell of bacon and eggs fill my nostrils and it reminds me of how hungry I am.

"You are here because I've been tracking you for some days now. You've just ran away from home and you need a place to stay. I have a place, and I also need an apprentice. Someone to carry my legacy." She responds. It takes me a few moments to realize what she has just said.

"What are you? Who are you?" I ask her. Before I get into something serious I always need to ask questions first. She hands me a plate of bacon and eggs and she eats herself. After swallowing a forkful or eggs she looks at me.

"I am Poison Ivy. I love plants and a chemical reaction made me how I look now. I can also control plants. I am Mother Nature herself." Poison Ivy states. Poison Ivy….. I've heard of that name on the news. Always trying to kill scientists for trying experiments on plants.

I cock a eyebrow, "Why should I team up with you?" I ask her. She smiles a moment and hands me a piece of paper. "Your parents abuse you. I can be the mother you want. I can fill in the place." She looks at me and I see a warm glow in her eyes that I haven't seen in a long time. "You can be like my daughter. The chemical has given me great powers but it has also taken away something. I cannot have babies."

"I will be lonely. I need someone there with me. Someone that I can trust. Someone like you." She hands me another piece of paper. On that paper it is labeled Nightshade. A Nightshade is a poisonous type of flower that will kill you if you even have the taste of it in your mouth.

Very poisonous.

On the sheet of paper is also a picture of something like a one piece swim-suit that are green but just with long sleeves that are black and thigh-high black boots. There's also a half-mask that shows my eyes, chin, and part of my cheeks.

"What's this?" I ask Poison Ivy. She smilels at me warmly. "What your costume will look like if you agree to be my apprentice."

And part of me wants to say no. But I've wanted this for so long. Someone with me. Someone I can really trust, that won't betray me. Someone who loves me and will care for me. Someone like Poison Ivy. And I've wanted this for so long already, that I won't even care that she's a villain.

"Yes," I say. She looks surprised. "Yes." I repeat again to make sure she hears it. She gives me another smile, but this one is more….. Dark. And she laughs. She kisses me on the cheek.

"Good girl," she says. And I feel so happy and proud. I feel like I made the right choice, but I know that I didn't. "Good girl, always being good for mommy." She coos again, and I enjoy this. I never had anyone praise me before. This was a big change.

She opens the door for me and shows me into a somewhat small room with a twin sized bed. "Go get some sleep. There's a bathroom in here where you can brush your teeth. Tomorrow is a very big day. For both of us." Poison Ivy tells me.

And somehow, I feel excited about it. I wonder how it'll feel. Being a villain. Running around killing people, harming people, scaring people. Will I feel as happy as I felt today? Or sadder? Or regretful? But that's for tomorrow. I should only worry about today. And I need to get sleep.

I'm sorry if Poison Ivy seems OOC which she probably is, but I need a motherly Poison Ivy. And if you're a Jason Todd fan then you'll be very happy because Red hood will be appearing in at least 3 chapters. Review? :3
