"After getting the explanation about what the real reason for Harley to start a fight at the hotel, she felt bothered that it affected their vacation as well enjoying each other's company. Much for Bebop who while was upset for not bringing him along to bash in a few heads in and causing trouble for Lex, was a chance to try and show how devoted he was to Power girl in becoming a hero. Both of them were questioning if their partners knew what they were doing was right as well how it was affecting their lives, those thoughts however would have to be put aside for an important matter that was happening. Lex had invited Ivy in coming aboard to his personal space base on the moon, which was holding the MalCon Forum conference, which was where most of the interstellar villains from space and other alien life forms would attend to have meetings and deal with business matters. Right now the two were riding of aboard one of Luthor's rockets that was special designed to take them to the moon with no trouble, however the issue that Bebop had with it was the way it was made."
Above the Earth's atmosphere
Flying off into the deep reaches of space was a phallus shaped rocket with orb shaped jets as it was making its way to the moon. While Ivy was admiring the Earth and seeing the green around the planet, Bebop was groaning during the launch since he felt annoyed at the flight.
"Dicks. Seriously whenever we start getting into the fun stuff it's dicks. First came into Gotham? Dicks. Going to an owl hang out? Dicks. Now, I'm back in outer space. In a flying dick!"
The warthog complaining about the numerous times he and Rocksteady had to see one in their lives after hooking up with Harley. While he was ranting on about how he didn't understand why he happened to him, Ivy was looking at her phone which showed a texted from Harley showing up in her own personalized Bat uniform along Rocksteady's which was based off Robin's.
"Sorry babe for not seeing you take off at the sight. Can't be near any 'villain' activity while on duty. Doesn't mean we can have a 'criminals and capes' moment when you get back."
Reading the text that Harley sent her since she was called to duty by Batman and had to help him out with crimes happening in Gotham. Looking at a pic she received, it showed Harley doing a pose with her top open revealing her breasts as well words written on her saying 'Ivy's property' after beating up several goons behind her. Ivy blushed at the nude photo and saved it as she tried to get serious about the conference meeting she would be attending with Lex and other important business leaders.
"I still don't get it. How come we have to go back up to space? It's big and filled with assholes who think they're in charge of everything. So why go to the moon where everyone like that is there?"
Asking her about the reason for this trip since the last time they got taken to space after an incident with the Utrom kidnappings. They traveled from planet to planet, avoiding getting captured by walking dinosaurs only to get brought back to Earth and fight another one of his old bosses.
"Because this is where I can show those 'assholes' how compete I am with the Legion as well the planes that I've had everyone done for the past few days while Lex was away. Also, if we possibly have people from space come after us. Will have an alien army backing us up."
Explaining to him how if she could impress any alien villain as well Lex's partners how effective she was in villain society, she'd earn their trust as well access their fundings as well technology that could take out anyone in one blow. While he was going to ask about who would want to work with her, his attention went to large stadium that was built on the dark side of the moon. There were hundreds of spaceships lined up around the building along alien villains who were flying outside and heading into the entranceway. The dick shaped ship made its landing near the side as well making an opening for the two to walk out of, heading out to check out the indoor exterior. They were surprised by the influential villains around them as well panels representing either product for people to look at and conferences being held.
"Welcome to MalCon. License plate, GR8-VLN. Please move your rocket from the transport center, it's about to be towed."
The announcement going on as Bebop was looking around excited at the sight seeing how many aliens and space villains were surrounding him. Before he could try and mingle amongst them, Ivy stopped him since she needed him a round just in case if anything happened. Walking over to the lanyard panel, Ivy saw numerous important names labeled on each card which showed who would be here. She saw hers which made Ivy excited since she was included amongst the con, however Bebop didn't see his which got him confused about how he didn't get one.
"If you noticed that your name is not there, it's because your an assistant. Assistants get wristbands."
Answering the confused warthog's question as Bebop turned around seeing Luthor who had two assistants that had wristbands. Handing on to the mutant, he greeted Ivy with a firm handshake as well noticing one of the lanyards not being picked out. Ivy took a moment to check out the name which he smiled since it seemed like a popular name.
"Steppenwolf. Where do I remember that name?"
Ivy asking about who the person that grabbed Lex's attention since she remembered seeing a name like that on someone's phone. Before Lex could tell her on who this mysterious as well popular man was, they were interrupted by a chuckle which came from Enchantress. Who was wearing a space witch theme style clothing as well being fawned over by several of the people here who noticed her as she offered them a wave.
"That's because he's my old flame's general. Darkseid, you know? The old god that Harley went to and became his new commander and almost brought down Gotham? He's the highlight of MalCon, plus everyone enjoys petting his hell hounds whenever he brings them over."
Giving Ivy a reminder of how her girlfriend went on a rampage in the city to prove she was a top tier villain. While it was a gruesome memory, it brought up personal feelings since it was also the time where it questions what Harley wanted from out of the blood and destruction.
"Anyway. Onto important matters Ivy, is you helping me with a conference show revealing an invention that will help revolutionize villainy and making me look good for the public."
Explaining about what was happening as he pointed upwards at the listings for events being held. Each of them being held by numerous individuals and groups that were at the conference, what Luthor had pointed at was Ivy's spot which involved giving a forty five second introduction to him as well the invention he was using. This left the red head upset at how she was just the speaker than an actual partner in the Legion, while Bebop was getting a free smoothie from one of the booths. His eyes widen at an alarming manner as well accidentally dropping his beverage at what he was staring at which caught Lex and Ivy's attention.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to make yourself look like a goon? We're around serious people who discuss important issues as well how to expand in meetings."
Ivy questioning the warthog on how he was acting which she noticed how he didn't respond to her. Looking over at what he was staring at, made herself speechless since she was looking at a familiar face. Rather a face that she hoped she'd never see again after the trouble that happened back in the space, which was the Triceraton general Mozar with several soldiers by his side with armor showing themselves as personal guards.
"I see you know emperor Mozar. After the skirmish that happened in space as well the previous emperor being an imposter, he was second in line for the role. If you excuse me, I have to see if I could bargain a deal with his lordship."
Bringing up how after they were responsible for uncovering the previous emperor as Krang who used the Triceraton as a walking meat suit. Mozar had now become emperor, meaning they'd had to keep a low profile and avoid getting noticed by them. Enchantress, who noticed them looking scared couldn't help but laugh at how even after becoming in charge of the same villain group that tried to use them as experiments were now in charge of them.
"Is this how far you've lowered yourself Pamela? Come on, enjoy yourself. You're on the moon as well amongst numerous sentient life forms that could learn a thing from you, even the pig who could teach them about music."
Encouraging them to get out and mingle amongst the people around them which wasn't a bad idea since it was what Ivy wanted. Though she didn't expect someone who she had a hand in overthrowing a dinosaur empire to be here and possibly look to either make new alliances to continue their own interests of universal domination, or revenge. Seeing how the Triceraton was noticing Lex trying to get his attention and talk about a business deal, Ivy stood up to settle herself since she didn't have to worry about him noticing her. Except she bumped into someone unexpectedly as her attention was at none other than Steppenwolf, general of Darkseid's army and popular man of the conference convention.
"Especially how I was able to talk with Steppenwolf himself and told him about the adventures you had in space as well responsible for helping send Krang across the galaxy."
Telling her in a sly manner about how she was able to meet up with Steppenwolf and convince him how dangerous Ivy was along responsible for taking down a inter dimensional conqueror. Hearing how she brought the same man that Lex was fond of along important to the convention, the plant woman got up to the general's attention and adjusted herself so she looked presentable to him.
"From what the witch has told me about is that your clever, cunning and connected to your planet. Most of the women on Apokolips either enjoy inflicting pain onto others or being praised by Darkseid, you care for none of that. You care for your own matters."
Complementing her on how she was different from most of the women he knew back on his home world, which made Ivy nervous since she hadn't been complimented by a man that viewed her as a threat and wouldn't mind being around her. Requesting to have a meeting with her, she nodded to speak with the general to discuss plans for how she could cause dismay to the people of her city while also restoring it due to her goal for socially conscious evil. Bebop, who remained there smiled at how Ivy would be able to talk to someone who took interest in her. Though he didn't notice Enchantress who quickly reverted back to June Moone, who was taking a moment to adjust in her being on the moon surrounded by hundreds of intergalactic criminals.
"She says she's going to see friends but doesn't tell me about taking a trip to the damn moon!"
June complaining about how Enchantress tricked her into coming here since she wanted to see what was happening at the convention and get into trouble. Bebop noticed how she reacted and could tell he was in the same situation; he was surprised about coming to the moon and thought it be exciting.
"It feels like that comic book convention we went to two years ago, but it's just a bunch of suit dummies sharing products. Might as well be with Harley and Rocksteady who are busting heads around Gotham."
Suggesting on how he'd work with the pair as a side hero than be here since it was boring and had nothing to do with him. June, who could see the look on the warthog's face of being here alone knew there was another reason why she was here. To which she would need his help since everyone was focused on deals and other matters involving with groups that were invited to Malcon.
"Actually B. There is something we can do but, it's going to involve screwing with Lex. Possibly humiliating him and could risk Ivy's position in the Legion. But it's seriously important and would not tell anyone about this except you."
Informing him how that the same trouble that Enchantress wanted to get into involved something important here, and June would need someone to help her out since it was urgent. The mutant only heard out of her request was messing with Lex and ruining whatever he had planned, it made Bebop nod in an excited expression since he still wasn't a fan of Lex for ditching them with a group of jerk super villains. Whatever Enchantress and June needed from him to get one over Luthor was all he needed to hear from her.
Later-Panel Halls
While Ivy was busy with making conversation with Steppenwolf about ideas on how what she planned on doing to Gotham. Bebop was brought over to the Auditorium's where the serious meetings would be handled, the pair walked over to where Ivy would be attending with Luthor to reveal something he's developed for a while. It was heavily guarded by his personal Lex bots that were design to handle anything, including Superman who he occasionally fights on a daily basis.
"While I've been handling several appointments for Ivy and helping her message about being socially conscious evil. Enchantress learned about Lex's secret invention he's been working on, as well something that is important that shouldn't be in his hands. Especially if he's trying to make partners with the Triceratons."
Explaining to him about what was going on since it involved plans from Ivy along how if it would fascinate the same dinosaur aliens they escaped from, then it would cause trouble for them and the Earth. While it was fun to mess with Lex since he hasn't been helpful with Ivy's progression in being CEO, he didn't want to ruin her forty five second spotlight since she was going to show herself to hundreds of photographers and paparazzi.
"Is it really that important? No lie, I'll enjoy breaking stuff for the fun of it. But this is Ivy's moment and something for Harley to watch back home."
Questioning how if this was right for him to ruin his boss's girlfriends' chance at getting noticed. Especially after the journey's she's been on and supporting Harley, to now have a chance at the spotlight. Seeing the conflict in his face and not wanting to ruin the panel that Ivy was in, she had to tell him something that would change his mind.
"You need to grow a pair Bebop."
Telling him straight out that he was acting afraid of getting in the way the attention Ivy was getting. When he heard June's response to his statement made Bebop looked somewhat insulted but confused at how he was trying to be nice.
"You and Rocksteady came to Gotham after getting kicked out by the Foot clan to start a new life. You did, as well join a family that acknowledged you as someone important. But you need to realize that your also important, and not just muscle for anyone. Right now you have to show how important you are and not just another minion to Ivy, even if it'll hurt her."
Expressing how even after coming to a city full of criminals to be his own mutant, he was still acting like a henchman that couldn't get his voice out to anyone that'll listen to him. While what she said might have been hard to accept since he's ignored about being the muscle of Harley's gang, it was the truth. He had to change as well if he wanted to be seen as something else, even if it would mess with the attention that Ivy was getting. The two heard muttering starting up from down the hallway which showed numerous villains and other patrons coming into the room for Luthor's presentation. Especially Mozar who had his guards with him which made Bebop tense, before he could talk to June on where she'd be going. He saw only the Enchantress's shadow in the walls as she would focus on the invention that be shown in a few minutes while Bebop was confused on what his job would be.
"Hey, eighties pig. We need you on stage now, Luthor and Ivy are waiting."
Someone speaking from behind him as it was several men in pink sweaters as well appearing to be with Lex as they guided him to where the others were at. Going backstage and getting quickly cleaned up for the presentation, he saw Ivy walking over who looked excited after the talks she had with Steppenwolf.
"Hey you. Thought you got sold by now, but still have to say things are going be easy for now on. Steppenwolf has decided to put me on the payroll for future plans in the Legion, so we can anything we want. Possibly that new chainsaw you've been asking Harley about."
Bringing up how she was able to make a deal with the general as well form a partnership to support her future ideals that had intrigued him. Bebop only gave her a thumbs up for how she was having a good time but noticing her throat sounding raspy.
"Good. Your here, now you both have your roles. Ivy, you'll be doing the introduction for me. Porkchops, you'll just look like how you are. Maybe snarl a bit, people love when mutants show off their teeth."
Lex telling them as he was being groomed by his assistants along working on his calves with a pumping device he was using right now. While Bebop wanted to call out on how mutants act, Ivy tugged her throat a bit as it seemed strained due to the talking she did with Steppenwolf.
"Why did I think I could rely on you for one small thing? You had one small goal, don't talk so you can save your voice."
Recognizing what was happening as Ivy didn't care as suddenly the two were announced on stage as they walked out greeting the public. While Bebop merely did what Luthor wanted, the two villains waved at the public while also talking to each other quietly.
"I mean, Lex, you really thought that I'd spend all my time on the moon, like, douching my throat waiting to talk about you? No thanks, I did panels and so other things I don't regret doing."
Telling him how she was involved in numerous conversations with people that found her interesting and having personality. Unlike Lex who was focused on his appearance and personality for the cameras, unable to handle this stressful moment. Lex decided to take her forty five second introduction while placing her by Bebop's side, who was noticing in the crowd the Triceratons looking at the two and possibly thinking of a plan on jumping them. While bumbled on Ivy's speech since it was mostly about her, he got to important part of the panel.
"It's now the moment you've been waiting for after I left Earth for the time being. My new initiative using the latest LexCorp technology, developed right here on the moon."
Starting off the discussion about the invention he has worked on as he snapped his fingers signaling his staff unveil what was hidden behind him. Everyone took a look which was basically a custom made ray gun that was easy to operate by controller or cellphone, this made the audience cheered for the invention as Lex enjoyed the applause, he was receiving from them while Ivy only glared at him at how he was being desperate for the attention.
"The Earth Saver. It can thicken the ozone layer, reverse global warming and save the earth by beaming new ozone particles into the atmosphere literally whenever. And, if I keep saving the earth, we can keep destroying it."
Explaining the usage of the device as well having an impact to the earth that would preserve the air and environmental usage in the effort to continue to do his business and let villains enjoy committing crime without the worry of the earth being destroyed. While Ivy was gritting at her teeth on how this was one of her ideas she wanted to do, Bebop on the other hand noticed by the walls was Enchantress who was making her way to the machine where she would take out what she was looking for. Seeing how she needed a distraction, he decided to use his feelings for the distraction and aim it at Lex.
"You son of a bitch, that was Ivy's plan and you know it."
Calling out at the billionaire which caused the audience to gasp at Bebop's remark at Lex's plan. This took him by surprise as he looked over to Ivy and see if she couldn't shut the mutant up, but she signaled that she didn't want to strain her throat and smiled at how he was going be her aggressive side.
"Ever since you made Ivy a CEO, whatever the fuck that means. She has putting up with your douche bag of teammates because she wants to be different, including that you gave her forty five seconds. What kind of time limit is that? Is that how long it takes for you to finish whenever you finish banging?"
Commenting about how Ivy's time limit made no sense which caused commotion amongst the crowd while Lex, tried to remain cool as well had his calf device going on as he presses the handle to help calm himself. Ivy was holding back laughter on the joke and surprised at how he was being serious during the moment, along noticing the Enchantress messing with the Earth Saver.
"Bebop. This is all a..."
"Misunderstand my piggy ass you American Psycho wannabe! Because you don't give her respect or me, especially me because you want me to act like a mutant. Which is clearly bull shit since I've met scary bastards that are humbler than you."
Interrupting Lex's response about how he's treated Ivy as the plant woman moved to the side of the Ray gun letting Enchantress do whatever she was doing on the device. Continuing to express himself and ignore the cameras and flashes aimed at him, Bebop decided to let him have it and Lex once and for.
"Like Steppenwolf when he complemented Ivy! And what did you do? Went to a bunch of space dinosaurs and try to kiss up to them with your baby calfs. Well guess what? Your legs are nothing but five dollar wings, mine? Are fucking turkey legs!"
Ending his rant by ripping off the bottom of his pants showing off his calf legs which weren't as muscular like Luthor's but big enough to put the businessman to shame. Everyone was shocked to see Bebop's legs while Luthor who continued to use his device pumped faster until the next pump caused his legs to exploded right onto the crowd, leaving him to collapse and groan at the pain he was in while also angered at Ivy being friends with Steppenwolf. Ivy smirked at Luthor on how she took the initiative and made a deal with the general before he could, with him about to shout at this deception he was interrupted by a slow clap that came from Mozar who chuckled at the bloody sight of betrayal and frustration.
"To think I needed to have my revenge for what you did to our emperor. Why should I get my hands dirty while you all are at each other's throats? Still, this base and its equipment will be fun to offer as toys for our children. Either way, this base now belongs to the Triceraton Empire. Thank you for inviting us Luthor."
The emperor commenting at how distrusting humans were and that it was satisfying to see them attack each than themselves. Though he wouldn't leave without getting something in return for the show, pressing a button on his wrist to call for his ship to fire at the ceiling. It exploded right above them sending several people into space while Mozar and his guards placed on gravity boots and began to loot the conventions items. Luthor took the moment and made his way out while limping on his exploded legs as his assistants helped him escape, meanwhile Bebop was holding Ivy's hand making sure she didn't get sucked up into space. Just the warthog struggled in keeping her from flying away, a green orb surrounded them as Enchantress made her stage debut to look at the chaos happening.
"Not bad for a warthog, especially you Ivy on getting chumpy with the general. Guess everyone wins since I get to see a bunch of eyeballs fly out of people's heads, plus about why I need you all to ruin Lex's device."
Congratulating them on ruining the panel as she went back to the machine to rip out a cover which led to the power source of Lex's device. Ivy and Bebop looked shocked that what was powering the Earth Saver seeing that it was an alternate power source, but an old friend they thought had left the earth.
"Professor Honeycut? How the hell did you end up like this?"
Ivy recognizing the power source as the fugitoid that once helped them get sent back to Earth as well helping him look for the ninja turtles after a huge misunderstanding from the Utroms. He was still a head after they had handled Krang, but she was confused on how he had become Lex's battery.
"It's a rather fascinating tale actually. While I would have traveled with Bishop and the Utroms back to their world, Earth became quite fascinating to study. While unpredictable and chaotic, it was worth it to learn how humans could survive on such a hostile world. Unfortunately, I was noticed by Mr. Luthor and thought I was robot from a company called 'STAR' labs and placed in the machine."
Giving his full explanation on how he ended up on the moon and that instead of leaving earth after avoiding the Triceratons as well being used as a weapon for universal conquest. He stayed on a planet that was already the center of attention for mad men and occasionally space tyrants that would use it for target practice, including Steppenwolf who was walking over as he wasn't being sucked into space like the other humans and aliens.
"While I do enjoy mindless destruction the air is getting thin. Would you care for a ride back to Earth? My boyfriend is expecting me to be there for a fashion show. He doesn't mind the company I bring whenever I visit him."
Offering Ivy a ride back home due to how the rockets were leaving the convention and that the base was slowly coming down on itself. They kept the Fugitoid hidden away from his sight due to that his knowledge would give Darkseid an edge in universal conquest, reluctantly accepted his offer as Steppenwolf opened a boom tube that would take them back to earth. Observing the destruction was Talia who remained in her chair due to her own custom made space suit design to withstand the vacuum of space as well watched at how seeing the outburst from Bebop could be used to her advantage against Pamela. All she had to do was wait for the right moment to turn them against each other, as well ready herself as well her company for the conflict that would come to Gotham City.
Night Time-Gotham City
It was late at night in the crime infested city and things were seemingly peaceful. Especially in an apartment that was right now had four people working on an important project, in the living room was the seaviant Spinner who was looking at several papers about brewery license and regulations in running a bar. The swordfish male got frustrated at how there was so much paperwork he was studying about.
"Why aren't you looking at this information Charles? I'm the one who'll focus on getting the money. Not the one running a bar!"
Questioning the person who handed him the papers as well being in charge of what was going on, which was Kite man as he was working on something big that would benefit him as well his friends that were helping him right now. He was near a glass board with several marker sketches about what his plan was.
"I'm just figuring out the roles we're all going be involved in. I will be the owner and handles what will be served to the customers, you would be on bartending duty. Slobster will be the bodyguard cause his claws can break anything, and my lovely Golden Glider will help out coming up with plans for us to get money since her family are well known in the criminal underworld."
Responding to his teammate's angered question as he showed Spinner the plan he had laid out which looked like drawings done by a child. Deciding to focus on the paperwork that he was given, he ignored on the side was Lisa Snart. Who was out of her costume and walking over to hand several beverages to the swordfish male and her boyfriend since they've been working on the plan for hours.
"Unfortunately, it won't be that easy since my brother was occasionally in charge of the plans back when I bunked with his team the Rogues and that everything is being heavily watched in Gotham, so we'd have to do small level crimes if we're going get the bar."
Telling her boyfriend about how difficult it be to get money for his plan since it would help them make cash without getting in trouble. Charles took a moment to think about various ways to get money while not getting caught at the same time, his thinking was interrupted by the door slamming open as it was Slobster with several boxes of food and a wrapped present with a rose on top.
"You guys won't believe how easy it was to get food from the store. They thought I was some mascot for a company, plus this walking plant stopped me and reminded me I was a special from Red Lobster. Also he wanted you to have this."
Explaining about his errand run on getting groceries as he handed them to Lisa and Spinner while giving Kite man the rose top present. Taking a moment to look at it, the style it was used was similar to Poison Ivy's theme. There was a note attached to the side as he opens it up and decides to read it.
"Hi Charles, I know it's been a while since we've last seen each other. As well both are busy trying to live our own lives and right now aren't on speaking terms, but recently I met someone who wanted to learn how a supervillain life was really like. I thought it would be best I introduce you to him, he's a genius when it comes to figuring things out. Hope you can keep him out of trouble than I can, sincerely. Pamela Ivy, PS. Hope your still cooking that chili, cause it's one of the best features about you."
Reading note as well was speechless at how Ivy wrote the note and sent him a gift despite what happened and making him smile at his cooking being incredible. Curious about what her present was to him, Charles opened up the box where he saw the Fugitoid's head which was online as well looking at the kite themed villain.
"Greetings. I am professor Zayton Honeycut, your friend Poison Ivy said that you can help me with learning about villain culture from you. Along that you might need assistance in future endeavors, is it something chaotic?"
The robot head introducing himself to Kite man as well smiling at that while he and Ivy departed, she was still looking after him. With seeing how things were looking up for him and his new recruit to the team, he walked to his closet and pulled out an old robot toy he had and placed the professor on it so he could have a body. As well introduce him to the others as well his plan that would help them make money and keep out of trouble at the same time, all because of his wedding day going wrong.
"Fugitoid will return in Kite man's new show, comment for any questions on what will happen in the story."
