Pamela meets Bruce

A stone and copper observatory in the process of being restored, set atop the banks above the Gotham River and the city beyond. An immense circular hall under construction. Within, a partially installed telescope. Bruce stands flanked by his stunningly beautiful date Julie Madison a scientist and his associate, all on a podium backed by blueprints, facing the press. The Wayne foundation was donating a giant telescope, but the press...Gossip Gerty in particular were more bothered about Bruce's relationship with Julie.

Pam, hair in a bun, face behind glasses, cloaked in a frumpy suit, is standing behind two door she pushes her way through "She doesn't have a pass, sir." A guard shouts, Bruce smiles, waves off the guards with a gesture. "They're overly protective. You're Not going to hurt me are you, Ms..." Pam responds "Dr. Pamela Isley.", "What can I do for you, Doctor? A research grant? A hospital wing?" "Actually", she responds "I already work for you. Or did. Your arboreal preservation project in South America." Bruce thinks for a moment "We cut our support. A conflict of ideologies. Dr. Woodrue was a lunatic. "I see you knew him.", "That lab was consumed by fire last week. how did you manage to escape?" Bruce asks, Pamela changes the subject reaching for a folder "I have here a proposal showing how Wayne Enterprises can immediately cease all actions that toxify our environment." Bruce takes the proposal, scans it. Pam's eyes shine despotic. "Forget the stars. Look here, at the Earth, our mother, our womb. She deserves our loyalty and protection." She points to the crowd " And yet you spoil her lands, poison her oceans, blacken her skies. You're killing her." Bruce puts the folder down "Your intentions are noble, but no diesel fuel for heat. No coolants to preserve food. Millions would die of cold and hunger alone." Acceptable losses in a battle to save the planet." She responds...."People come first, Dr. Isley." Responds Bruce. Pam turns to the Press beginsto soapbox "Mammals. So smug in your towers of stone and glass. A day of reckoning is coming. The same plants and flowers that saw you crawl blind from the primordial soup will reclaim this planet. Earth will be a garden again. Somehow, some way, I will bring your man-made civilization to its knees and there will be no one to protect you." Pam's tirade is so ****, folks around her laugh. Gossip Gerty interjects "You must be new in town. In Gotham City, Batman and Robin protect us." Even from plants and flowers." Bruce calms down the crowd "Perhaps you'd like to meet them." Bruce nods and an Aide hands Pam an invitation it says "Batman and Robin to appear at the Flower Ball" Bruce continues"The caped crusaders are helping us auction off a prized diamond to raise money for the Gotham Botanical Gardens. Just a few mammals doing what we can for our world's plants." Gerty turns her attention back to Bruce "So, Brucy, will the delicious Ms. Madison be your date for the flower ball tonight?", Pamela interupts "Tell me, billionaire, would you warm faster to my pleas if I looked more like Ms. January here" Bruce shrugs off the question "Although the Wayne Foundation is hosting the event, sadly I will be unable to attend. Thank you all. (to Pam) Good day, Doctor." Pam watches him go, trailed by press. Peers at her invitation. "Batman and Robin. Militant arm of the warm-blooded oppressors. Animal protectors of the status quo. First I'll rid myself of the fur and feathered pests. And then Gotham will be mine for the greening."

As Bruce and Julie leave Pam accosts them, maybe a different approach she thinks to herself, "Excuse me Mr Wayne just one more thing" Bruce turns and Pamela blows a puff of Love Dust in his face, suddenly Bruce was much more receptive "Listen Mr. Wayne"..."Bruce" he corrects her, he moves in close stepping away from Julie and is staring intently into Pamela's eyes, Julie is looking visibly angry at Bruce's flirting and gets in the limo, Bruce takes Pamela's hand "Listen, Bruce I know my ideas are a little radical maybe I just need someone to help reign me in a little, maybe we could have a meeting"..."YES OVER DINNER AT MY PLACE" Bruce stumbles over his words "Wonderful Bruce how about wednesday night" Bruce nods he's still just staring at her holding her hand Pamela smiles "I think your girlfriend is waiting for you", Bruce shakes his head almost trying to clear his thoughts "Yes I'll see you then" he gets in the limo gawping out of the window as Pam waves, Julie has to pull him away. Pamela turns and heads back to her own limo "Billionaire Bruce Wayne, take away your money and your company and you're just like any other man...in fact that's gives me an idea." a vicious smiles flashes across her face as she laughs wildly.

Over the next few days Pamela prepared for the flower ball she visited the most prestigious seamstress in the city exquisite skin tight outfits, outlandish colours and accessories taylored to every curve of Pamela's body but she still needed a name Pamela Isely wasn't going to cut it anymore she walks down the street and some schmuck "Hey baby what's your name?"..."I'm Poison...", "Like Ivy?" He says "I could rub some lotion on you" he says practically slobbering on her "YES! Exactly like Ivy", she grabs the man and pull him into a nearby alley, kisses him full on and watches as he flakes out on the ground, she walks away "Poison Ivy, I like it".
