Chapter 21: Secret Revelations:
Arriving at the Penessa Movie Studios, Batman got out of the Batmobile and eventually let Ivy out of the vehicle to. Upon leaving the Batmobile, Ivy saw how high up the actual entrance to the movie studios was.
"That's really high up." Said Ivy as she looked up at where they were trying to reach.
Batman wasn't phased as this was a base of his. "Just hold on tight."
Ivy did as instructed. Batman then proceeded to grapple the two of them up onto the roof of the movie studios. Secretly, Ivy hoped there would be more moments like this where Batman would have to carry her.
"Well that was magical, now what?"
Batman said nothing. Instead he just motioned for Ivy to follow him to the gated entrance of his base of operations. "Open." Batman commanded as the gate opened upon voice recognition. The two stepped inside the elevator to proceed. Then after that, Batman pressed the noticeable red button closing the gate and the elevator proceeded to take the two of them further into base. While on their way down, Ivy noticed Batman's serious expression. While he did retain most of his stoicism, Ivy could easily see the small signs of worry he was showing.
Ivy was one of very few individuals that could read and pinpoint Batman's true emotions. She wanted to ask him if he was okay, but she knew he'd just tell her he's fine and brush her off.
The elevator came to a halt. As the gate opened, Batman motioned for Ivy to follow him. They entered and for the first time Ivy saw what Batman's not so secret anymore base of operations looked like from the inside.
Ivy saw all of the Cells, and automatically knew that they belong to the deceased Joker Infectees. Then she saw Batman head over to a specific cell. It had what looked like a face with an upside down Batman symbol to make it seem more like a monster. Then she saw what appeared to be a broken staff and three other Boomerang like things similar to Batman's Baterangs all on the ground in a pile. Ivy quickly guessed this is where Robin was once held.
"He has them...has them both."
"Calm down, Batman, you'll get them back, I know you will." Ivy could tell Batman was growing angrier by the minute. Batman then headed towards another cell.
"Wait here, Harley's inside the other cell, I'm to ask her if she saw anything, and then you can talk to her."
"Alright."
Ivy prepared to stand aside for a moment.
"And Ivy?"
The reformed meta-human turned around towards Batman.
"Your new headpiece...it looks nice." Batman solemnly states before walking to Harley's cell. This caused Ivy to blush massively. Batman. Gave. Her. A. Compliment. Something that she would've thought was impossible had just happened in front of her very eyes.
Maybe there was a small chance that she and Batman could be something more instead of less.
As Ivy watched Batman ask Harley for information, she heard the laughter of her friend, which probably meant that Harley wasn't taking the matter as seriously as Batman was.
"...So Professor Creeps came up in here with the old geese and a few of those soldiers...and then snatched up Bird Brain, point blank period bats."
Just when Harley finished telling the story of what happened to Robin, Batman got a video call from someone.
Ivy for one was not at all happy by who it was.
"How does it feel, Dark Knight? That I have your Robin captive, like a caged bird with bonded wings."
Batman noticed Ivy was nearby and motioned for her to stay away from the camera's frame. Understanding why Ivy followed his instructions and waited for his next move.
"...You should know by now that nowhere is safe. Its fascinating really, The Commissioner was so eager to betray you earlier, when his daughter's life depended on it. It is Fascinating that your fears would drive you to lock your closest ally in a prison cell...My Instructions are as simple as fear itself, Dark Knight, Now those same fears will make you do as I say. There's a storage depot in Kingston. Go there, alone. Prepare to take off that mask. Or your friends will suffer...and then die..."
Scarecrow disconnected from the line.
Once it was clear, Ivy went to Batman's side. "What are you going to do now, you obviously cannot allow that madman to hold onto Robin and the Commissioner."
For a moment, Batman said nothing. Then it came to him. "How well can you drive Ivy?"
"I haven't driven in ages," Ivy was thrown off a bit by the odd question. But she knew better than to question Batman's judgment. "In years to be exact, why do you ask?"
"I have a plan to stop Crane once and for all, but it requires good teamwork."
"I'm listening."
Batman pulled a very small circular device from his utility belt. "This is one of my trackers. When activated, it can allow a person to be tracked almost anywhere, even inside of buildings and underground to a certain degree when built properly." He then squeezed the tracker inside of his cowl so It'd be hidden and out of sight. "Once I activate it, you'll use the Batmobile and drive towards the location Crane will have me captive at." Batman turned to walk away after setting the plan.
Ivy grabbed his arm to stop him. "What if he reveals your identity before I can arrive?" Ivy was genuinely concerned.
For a moment Batman was dead silent. It seemed like he didn't know what to say. But he eventually spoke up. "Whatever happens, happens..." Batman soon headed for the exits of the movie studios.
Ivy took a moment to realize how much of a key element she was in Batman's plan. One mistake, just one, would possibly destroy the legacy of Batman, and that made her nervous for some reason.
With all her years as a villain, Ivy figured she would've been scared of Batman then, but she was ironically more frightened now that they were on the same side. But she had to focus on an important matter right now, and that matter was Harley.
She walked to the containment cell she was placed in and noticed that she was beginning to doze off. "Harley?" Ivy tapped her fist on the glass to get her attention. And it did.
"Red?! What're you doing here in Bat-Brain's secret club? He's locking you up too?!"
"Hello again, Harley, and no, Batman is not placing me inside a containment cell."
"Well then tell me, what the heck are you doing here? Believe me, Red I'm always happy to see a fellow girlfriend but you ain't here for any old reason, so start spilling the beans."
Ivy knew that there was a lot she had to tell Harley, and she knew it. "There's a lot I have to tell you..."
"Well go ahead, Red. First I wanna hear why the hell B-Man came to you for help when he could've asked Bird Boy or Nightwing?"
"Well since you were obviously there with me at the Asylum along with Crane and the rest of those rotten meat sacks, so we'll just skip through that part. First I'll start with probably the second most important part of how me and Batman came to be as...partners."
Harley looked at Ivy with an unsure look, but nodded anyways and let her best friend keep talking on anyways.
Ivy continued. "It all started when I was captured by The Arkham Knight's forces and was forcefully taken over to a safe house Chinatown. Then I was rescued from those men by Batman and locked up for a few hours before he eventually returned to ask me for help with saving the city. So as everything progressed i basically found myself in the role of a hero, or in my case a semi-reformed heroine. I was almost killed by Crane, but I barely, just barely managed to survive. While everyone else thought I was dead, I was secretly hiding out and staying in the GCPD Building recovering from my injuries. I was overall nursed back to health thanks to the help of Batman and his resources. After that I spent time associating with the GCPD officers and the commissioner's daughter and so on. Thats pretty much what everything's that happened to me so far tonight, Harles."
Ivy waited for Harley to say something...anything about what happened to her over the last couple of hours, but her best friend said nothing. Ivy was worried that Harley wasn't gonna take all of that very well. Maybe she should've started slowly and broke down everything for Harley one at a time.
Or maybe Harley just didn't care. Or maybe she just didn't know how to respond. Or maybe it was both. Ivy had hoped that telling Harley all of the good she's done so far would make Harley want to do some good as well. Maybe with the combination of this and the Joker's death, would be a good thing. So many different scenarios just played in Ivy's mind about how Harley could be taking all of this in right about now.
But then the Clown Queen spoke up...
"So let me get this straight, Red. You're meaning to tell me that Bat-Brain recruited you and you've been working with him ever since?"
"Yes..." Ivy nervously said.
Harley spoke once again. "While B-Man didn't off Joker, I should blast him for nearly getting you killed to."
This is exactly what Ivy was afraid would happen. She didn't want Harley to have any Ill intent towards Batman, especially since she knows that Joker is now dead, and Ivy and Batman's relationship has improved dramatically since she called it quits with crime and villainy. Ivy was gonna speak, until...
"But screw it, your safe and sound as a daisy, Pammy. Still that doesn't mean I have to like Bat-Brain. But if he keeps putting you in danger, I'll have to bash him with my bat, or my mallet. He's lucky Bud and Lou were killed, still have to make Penguin pay for that!"
Ivy was relieved. This was somewhat of a good start. Ivy knew most of Harley's threats wouldn't phase Batman, so she didn't really bother trying to combat them. Instead she jus opted to keep talking to Harley about everything else that's happened to her regarding Batman. Her feelings towards the superhero himself.
"Harley...there's something else that I need to tell you."
Harley was curious. "What the hell else could you possibly have in store for me Red? I learn B-Man ain't kill the Joker, I learn that you ain't...well dead. There can't possibly be anymore jaw dropping news for me."
Ivy took a deep breath. She didn't even know how Harley would take the news of her new relationship, or rather growing relationship with Batman. For all she knew, Harley would absolutely reject this; maybe even go down a psychopathic route again and then she'd revert herself back to the way she was when The Joker was alive.
There was no turning back now. "It's regarding...Batman...and me."
"Yeah he's making you work with him, I know this already Red." As Harley was about to go on she began to notice her green friend's facial and body expressions. Could she be considered crazy? Yes, but Harley wasn't stupid. She knew exactly what these sort of things meant.
On the other hand, Ivy crossed her feet. This was it she was an about to reveal to her best friend one of if not her biggest secret.
"Oh...my...gosh..." Harley placed her hands on her hips. "You like B-Man, don't you Red?"
Ivy said nothing as she felt her cheeks warming along entire body. Her inner thoughts began flowing into her mind. Soon Ivy found herself using her hands to cover her face to save herself the embarrassment.
This was all the evidence Harley needed to confirm her suspicions. "HA! I knew it, B-Man's got you in loveee. And you got on me about being in love with Joker. That seems hypocritical of you."
"But-"
"No butts," Harley said, cutting off Ivy. "I need details, like right now. I need to know just what the hell is going on here? And why all of a sudden you like B-Man?"
Ivy began to regain her composure. Having a conversation about a man she liked was not an easy task for her, especially with Harley. But the reformed villainess had no choice. "Well...to be honest with you Harley, I've always felt a little something towards Batman, but back then it was more so because of lust and the thought of him becoming my loyal slave and personal brute when I was villainous. As crazy as it sounds, tonight made me realize that I really care for Batman in more ways than one, his bravery and will to put himself in danger for the wellbeing of others, human, animal and plant life, is truly more attractive than any lustrous thought."
"So you don't have Batman bang yo-"
Ivy wasted no time in cutting Harley off. "No Harley I'm not saying that..!"
"Ohhhh so you want B-Man to toss ya around like a mad leaf Red?!"
"NO!"
Harley decided to torture and play around with her friend a little more. "Soooooo, you don't dream of being Batman's GF? Him dominating you...the endless possibilities are there Red, just imagine it."
"I know..."
Ivy's Dreamworld:
Tonight was truly the most unexpected, surprising and downright shocking night of Batman's personal life.
Ivy was forcefully using her vines to drag him towards a warmed up shower ready for the both of them to take together.
Ivy was the more sexually charged of the couple as well, and whatever Pamela Lillian Isley wants, that is exactly what she is going to get; and what she wanted was to feel all of her boyfriend's love and affection while warm water was being poured down upon the both of them.
Ivy knew that this weekend alone, with no distractions from either Harley or Nightwing, it would be about just the two of them together; and nobody else. Ivy was going to make the weight of all the years of pain Batman personally felt go away with her tender touch. Her warm nude body. Everything painful that the Dark Knight would think about would soon become non-existent in this very moment.
This was going to turn into a night that would change all of the pain Batman felt. The pain would turn into happiness and pleasure. With a bit of peace on the horizon.
With a little wink and a beautiful smile emerging from her perfect face, Ivy began giving Batman what was probably one of the greatest and most provocative massages he had ever received.
Ivy then moved the Dark Knight's hand to tightly grope her breasts, which gave her entire body, a warmth feeling that could never be matched by anyone. The slender figure of Poison Ivy was carefully examined by her boyfriend. The thought of her man picking and choosing what to do to her with warm water pouring down upon them aroused her in more ways than one.
Every single inch of his muscular packed body, all fully exposed, all belonging to her and nobody else.
Inches from his face, Ivy began passionately kissing Batman without a care in the world shaken and supremely aroused by the aforementioned man before her.
"Stand up hun, now tell me, get a good look at all this." Said Ivy. "Now, isn't this much better than going out and physically and mentally destroying yourself? Isn't it better to get taken care of by me, the woman who you love and care about deeply than getting stabbed by Zasz, or mentally abusing yourself to solve one of Edward's deathtraps?"
Batman said nothing, and judging by his continued actions of passionately kissing her and touching her physically peaked body. None of Batman's previous flames could compare to the beauty, grace and tender touch that Ivy had bestowed upon him. Somewhere deep inside his mind as he and Ivy kissed, touched, made love and showered, he knew that the deceased Talia Al Ghul would be happy that he finally moved on and let go of her death during the Arkham City incident.
As the powerful stream of warm water hit their naked bodies full on, both Ivy and Batman began attempts to snuggle up against each other for full intimacy. And lord did it feel good to the both of them.
The warm water began streaming and building up around Ivy's breasts due to how close they were to each other. Every blast, only made her hands want to grab more of her boyfriend. Ivy couldn't recall a time when she she felt like this regarding a man, both Pre Poison Ivy, and Present Poison Ivy.
If she had to say she was going to feel anything, it would be two things, love and lust.
So with that, Ivy began her teasing displays over Batman in an attempt to flirt with him and mess around with her boyfriend. She turned around in the direction facing the wall away from Batman. She proceeded to bend over and slowly push her butt against the waist of the Dark Knight. Upon doing this, she felt the touch of the 'second Dark Knight'. Ivy knew exactly what she wanted and what she intended to do.
Ivy then spent the next several to ten seconds swaying her backside against the waist and genitals room, smiling and laughing at the ease which Batman noticed. He knew exactly what she was implying.
So Bats complied; he placed what was only reserved inside of her. This resulted in soft moans coming from Ivy as she the pelvic thrust from the vigilante. Ivy's world was truly complete in more ways than one. Each thrust brought Ivy away from reality each passing moment.
With a wink and a beautiful smile emerging from her perfectly green face, Ivy let her boyfriend know that she was enjoying everything he was doing to her. I y then turned back around to face Batman again, as she made use of the very spacious shower. I guess her man being a billionaire has its advantages.
Even though he'd never outright say it; Having sex with Poison Ivy was something that was well within his own wishes and desires. This woman was truly beautiful and he was glad that she belonged to him. He could do whatever he wanted to Ivy and no one would bat an eye. Whatever she pleased, Batman would deliver.
As the two continued to make passionate and hot love in the shower Ivy thought about another thing; Pregnancy.
Sure the ongoing sex right was amazing, but what if she gotten pregnant afterwards? She wasn't thinking about it out of fear, she was thinking about it because she didn't know how pregnancy would affect her, being that she was a Meta-Human. Would her possible child have the abilities she has? Or would it have the peak genes that Batman retains? Or both. The thought was killing Ivy on the inside.
But there was no time to think about that now. Now, all she had to think about was her loving man rearranging her insides.
As Ivy was rambling on, her dream, speech and inner thoughts were suddenly halted by a loud laughter coming from the inside of Harley's holding cell. Harley sounded like she was having the time of her life.
"Harles, what's so funny?" Ivy asked.
Once Harley's laughing subdued, she revealed what had her on the ropes. "Because Red, ya spent the last fifteen to twenty minutes talking about sex with Batman."
As Harley began laughing again, Ivy began blushing out of embarrassment. She couldn't believe that she was so in tune with her own reality, she had began ranting and raving like a mad woman. Ivy could've sworn that she used her own pheromones on herself with how reckless she was talking. Out of instinct she began hiding the deep blush.
"Don't hide your blush now Ivy." Harley like before placed her hands on her hips. "We all know you like the bastard now."
"I'm sorry, it's just, embarrassing...how did I manage to let myself get so lustful, Harley?"
"It's fine Red." Said Harley. "Hilarious, but funny."
Ivy rolled her eyes, but smiled. Only Harley could make fun of her and be a reasonable person as well. That was what made their wild and adventurous friendship so special. "I guess we can both say we have a strange taste in men."
"Yep." Harley then started talking about another completely subject. "Okay Pammy, now there's gonna be some rules if you and B-Man are gonna start dating and whatnot."
Ohhh boyyy. Ivy mentally thought.
Harley began going on about her 'rules'. "Okey dokey, rule number one, B-Man isn't allowed be within walking and breathing distance of other women, particularly 'Cats', 'deadly girl assassins', 'Amazonian goddesses', 'magicians', 'Batgirls', 'Spoiled Vreeland gyals' and whatnot. If B-Man is caught near any of these bimbos, I'll bash his freaking skull in!"
Ivy's eyes widened. If she and Batman possibly did become something more than allies, Harley would be one hell of a handful.
Harley went on. "Rule number two, B-Man isn't allowed to willingly put you in any sort of danger that results in your brain being splattered, your body going kaboom, mind control, death or etcetera, if this rule is broken, I'll have to kill B-Man should something happen to my favorite vegan. Rule number three, anything you desire, B-Man shall provide, any man worth a damn will make sure their girlfriend feels secure in a relationship, and I'm pretty sure Bats is loaded."
Ivy thought about how this was probably the most normal thing Harley was going to say on her long rant. Ivy thought about cutting an end to Harley's silly Rules, but she knew once Harley got going, there was no stopping.
Once Harley finished breaking down Rule number two, she continued on with the rest of her Rules. "Rule number three, B-Man must always be there for you emotionally, no exceptions. Any old geezer can say they'll be there for you for the rest of your life, but words are worth a damn. Actions mean helluva lot more than words."
Ivy was taken by surprise by Harley's wise words here. This only proved the point, she, Batman and countless others made that when the Joker was out of her life, she can be very well coordinated and make her own decisions and have her own thoughts. And now that the damn dirty clown was gone for good, Harley's mental state could begin improving. In fact, it was slowly beginning to improve right in front of Ivy.
Ivy actually took a long hard thought about what Harley had said. 'Any old geezer can say they'll be there for you'. Fortunately, Batman wasn't just any geezer; at least she hoped he wasn't.
Life was truly turning out for the better; and the future seemingly looked bright for Ivy, and even Harley.
As Harley was about to go on with more 'rules', Both of the girls were cut off by the sound of Ivy's communicator going off.
The call was coming from Batman...
A/N: College duties, working and catching up with my other projects prevented this coming sooner, but it's here now so yep, enjoy.
