Chapter 13: Passion Vs Principal:
The GCPD was alarmed once more when Batman had returned, this time with Killer Croc. This meant that Ivy now had to be moved into a safer and more private location. Since Ivy only had the strength to stand, Officer Joana had kindly offered to carry her.
As she was being carried, she saw him. "Poison Ivy?" The Crocodile Man snarled. Batman, Joana and others were immediately on standby in case Croc tried anything funny.
The wounded and sick Ivy barely looked phased or intimidated by the presence of the monster. "Hello Waylon, it's a pleasure to see you too," She added, obviously sarcastic.
Suddenly Croc says, "Help me take my revenge on the walking meal that wronged me," Croc looked as bitter and enraged as ever. He wasn't going to take no for an answer, he waited for Ivy's answer, but what she said didn't make him very happy.
"Sorry Waylon, I'm not interested in your petty revenge."
"Well, then you'll have to die! I will enjoy feasting on the corpses of you, Batman, and especially Ranken."
The Eco-Mistress wasn't phased or scared in the slightest. "You don't scare me Jones, and you'll never have the chance to kill me, nature always prevails in the end, you'll know where to find me."
The Monsterous Crocodile-Man laughed menacingly before, "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that," Then he sniffed out Ivy. "Your scent is different than it normally is...I smell death on you, like a dying flower. Like I've told Batman is the past, Pamela, I don't need to fight you, I just need to wait, and in due time, I will be feasting on your corpse."
"I'd like to see you try Waylon, your no different than any other man with a hopeless goal, you're just a tiny little man in the body of an animal."
This caused the Crocodile-Man to roar loudly, startling the other GCPD Officers nearby. All accept Ivy, Joana, Cash and Batman. Seeing how this nonsense went on long enough, Croc was finally put in his cell.
"Alright that's enough," Cash started. "Get his ass in the cell now!"
"You heard the man, get him in there!" Joana added, albeit much louder than Cash.
Once Batman and the other Officers subdued Croc, Ivy was taken to a fresh office space where she could continue to recuperate peacefully away from the vicinity of the other villains and criminals. Shortly after Joana left the room, Batman appeared before her once again to talk with her and see how she was holding up.
"You know before I passed out, you said that I hadn't lost my true humanity, do you really mean that?"
Batman gave his response. And what he said next would once again be of genuine surprise. "You were misguided Ivy, but I'll forgive and forget, but I can't speak on behalf of the people of Gotham, that'll be a much greater task for you to tackle in the near future. How's recovery coming along?"
When asked about her recovery process, Ivy explained her current flaws. "Without Water and Sunlight, I'm practically adequate to a fast recovery, in all honesty Batman, I have no idea if I will be able to recover from whatever this is."
Unfortunately another problem piled upon them. "Unfortunately Ivy, it stopped raining moments ago, so you won't be able to use the water coming from earth," The Dark Knight noticed the frown on her face. "However, I may have a solution to your problems. Try not to move around to much, I'll be back." And with that, Batman proceeded to leave The GCPD Building, leaving a curious Poison Ivy behind.
A short time later, presumably around 15-20 minutes later, Batman returned and had several metallic looking balls in his hands. He started to explain what they were to Ivy and what they would do.
"You see Ivy, there are times where the sunlight won't wait around for us, but I've found a creative and productive way to harness it. If you were in your proper state prior to Crane's gas infecting you, these would've brought you back into shape within the snap of a finger, but thanks to you being locked up in Bludhaven's jurisdiction over in their building for so long and the effects of the toxins, you were greatly weakened in the process. Normally, I'd keep these away and never use them on you like this, but tonight was unique, and so for that, I'll make an exception."
After being brought up to speed, Batman laid her in a position where she'd be lying on her stomach. Batman pressed the metallic balls against her back, Ivy would be lying to herself if she said she didn't enjoy it. Soon the the UV light was expelled and shined from the marble. Almost Immediately, Ivy felt the affects of this.
But this wasn't all, no, there was far more than that. Batman moved the marbles across the Ex-Villainess's back, back, down her bottom, legs, feet, and then up towards her back again. The UV felt so soothing towards her. One thing of Batman's hands held her in a firm position, and that too felt so wonderful to Ivy. The light, along with Batman's hand, suddenly felt like the talented hands of a skilled masseuse giving her a tender back and body massage.
It was working! The UV light Batman had provided was healing Ivy. She had even felt her own strength starting to increase. Unfortunately, in spite of the UV light doing its job, it didn't heal her to the point she had hoped it did. But it was damn sure better than what she was expecting and that was a good thing. Then Batman noticed Ivy was beginning to squirm.
"Hold still Ivy," While Batman urged her to stop squirming, he didn't know the real reason why she was squirming this much. It was due to the sheer warmth and pleasure she was feeling from the sudden touch of Batman.
Inside Ivy's Mind:
Inside Ivy's mind, multiple Ivys stood before each other. Each of them represented a different personality trait that defined her. There was a throne, and she whom sits upon the throne rules them all. The top three Ivys presents were 'Schoolgirl' Ivy, 'Rational' Ivy and finally 'Conscience' Ivy. Schoolgirl Ivy was clashing with her other much tamer counterparts. They were holding her back from what Schoolgirl had felt was Ivy's true destiny.
"Back off! This is her true destiny!" Schoolgirl Ivy was sounding very frantic. "It's about time that she stops getting stepped on by the world and begins to do the stepping, it's obvious she wants Batman, and I say it's time to show The Dark and Depressing Knight what happens to you when a real woman shows you how to have one hell of a good time."
"No!" Rational Ivy yelled. "This is not right, I'm tell you Schoolgirl, this is a bad idea, it's not guaranteed that he'll like the vulgar things that you have in mind, now get off!"
"She's right," Conscience Ivy started. "This isn't the right way to go about this, we should do the right thing and wait. Let Ivy actually work and try to form a respectful connection with Batman. And then that'll naturally build and evolve into something more, you need to stop this now, get off of the throne Schoolgirl Ivy, you sound insane right now and insane and schoolgirl is the last thing Ivy needs." Conscience Ivy was equally struggling alongside Rational Ivy to get Schoolgirl Ivy off of the throne.
Schoolgirl Ivy wasn't listening to either of them. All she was doing was screaming wild and in excitement like madwoman while her other two calmer counterparts worked to get her off of the throne. They all shared one body and they didn't need this terrible mistake to ruin all of them, or worse, Ivy as a whole.
Rational & Conscience Ivy were straining like hell to try and get Schoolgirl Ivy off of the throne, it was working, but not as much as they would like it to be.
"Ugh! You two are holding Ivy and to an extent Batman back from their true destiny, Batman will feel like a REAL MAN after we show him a good time and Ivy will finally get what she truly desires. But none of that will happen with you two softees in the way, just let me drive and take control, after all, love isn't even meant to be rational."
"And that's where your wrong," Conscience Ivy started, to which Rational Ivy nodded in agreement. "Love is meant to be rational, love is about respect and compassion for your partner, who is also giving that back to you in return, leaping onto Batman and wilding fucking him is not true love, no, it's merely rape and insanity I tell you. And that's why you need to stand down and let us take charge, now!"
"Both of you are wrong, and get off of me! Now!"
Conscience and Rational Ivy continued to fight Schoolgirl Ivy for control over Ivy's mind and body, finally, they were able to get control and forcibly remove Schoolgirl from the throne. They had just saved their main host from making what possibly would a very fatal mistake.
In reality, the reason Ivy so much was because Inside of her mind, the rational and conscience parts are fighting to rein in the "madly in love, schoolgirl" part of her. Luckily, she had managed to fight off her true desires and successfully hide it from Batman. Although she was successfully managing to hide it, it nearly took everything in her to remain lying flat on her stomach during the UV Treatment.
She finally realized the levels of insanity it would be to just grab Batman and forcibly make love with him. That just wasn't right in her mind. But Ivy couldn't deny the fact that she was feeling good on the inside. It was as if a bomb of butterflies had gone off inside of her.
It felt damn good to her. And she was grateful Batman was personally ensuring that she could be healed and treated properly. Ivy also felt like there were 'multiple personalities' in her mind, but quickly brushed this off to focus on other matters
After a few more minutes of treating Ivy, Batman now had to get back to waging war against the remaining Gotham City criminals and supervillains. "Okay, that's enough for now, there's still more work to be done in Gotham, I'll be back, in the mean time, keep relaxing and recovering." Batman then walked off leaving Ivy, and exiting the GCPD Building.
Once Batman left, Ivy began to realize something...
She was now romantically interested in Batman, and there was no denying it now...
