Poison Ivy

"Found them at the Clocktower just like you said," Pamela said quietly to the comms. She was visibly worst for wear. Dark green bags under her eyes and veins almost as red as her hair around her iris. This Pamela Isley haven't slept for days.

"Thank Hera."

"Don't thank anything just yet. I think... oh my God. They just clocked him."

"What?" shouted Miss Martian over the earpiece.

"I swear on my honor, if anything should..."

"Ssssh," said Poison Ivy. "It's actually worst than we thought. They caught Starfire on camera with his underwears. I don't think it'll be long before they start putting two and two together."

"Like Hades they will."

"Honestly, I don't think your boy is much of a liar."

"Our boy," shouted both heroines incredulously and in unison.

"Alright, calm your tits, ladies. I haven't decide this one way or the other."

The heroines were silent, but Ivy could almost hear their smirk over the air. Pamela knew what they expect to happen, but it'll be over her dead body. She knows a thing or two about poisons and pheromones. And she definitely knew how to handle poisonous plant sample.

"You have decided, Ivy. And you've decided to be on our side," said Wonder Woman finally. "M'Gann? When you're done with your assignment, could you... activate Power Girl?"

"That's a cute thought, Diana. But 'fraid I've already been listening in for a decent while now," said Power Girl over the comms.

"Well... in that case welcome to our little... extracurricular channel, Karen. I take it you took over her assignment too?"

"Oh yes. He resisted and I was under no obligation to make it quick. The whole episode was... immensely satisfying," said Power Girl, her voice dripping with a sick, sexual undertone.

"Ladies, could you cut the thirst chat? I actually need to concentrate here," said Ivy. "Oh and, Power Girl, you are sounding more unhinged than Harls on a bad day."

Ivy's eyes glowed white as she laid a couple of seeds on the floor. Long, thick tendrils sprung from them and crept towards the heroes interrogating Charlie. The Green welcomed her like it always did. Even at her lowest, this was the one thing that she had and the one thing that nourished her.

It was a symbiosis of sorts. On a good day, tapping the green wears her out as the plant ether took energy from her. On a bad day, the plant gave back. The more she used her powers, the stronger she became. The bags under and the veins in her eyes receded ever so slightly and so did the Charlie poison in her brain. She's starting to think more clearly now than she could since someone threw that piece of "rag" into her cell.

"Son of bitch... it was Diana. She proposed he took control of Power Girl and I don't think it was a coincidence M'Gann was left in the room, exposed to Charlie as it happened. So now it's the both of them." Ivy heard the Flash yelled through her grapevine and it broke her out of reverie.

"Bad news Wonder Woman," said Poison Ivy. "They know you're behind this. And they know about you Miss Martian."

"By the Goddess! How many of them are there?"

"It's just the three. Flash, Nightwing, and Batgirl."

"That's three too many immunes," said Diana spitting out her last word like it was a plague.

"Immunes?" said Poison Ivy.

"I know we don't know each other, Ivy. But right now that boy really needs your help and you're the only one who can keep him safe," said Wonder Woman. "Take care of it like we discussed, please. We'll keep 'Harls' safe and tie up loose ends. Watchtower out."

Manipulative much? Ivy thought to herself. As villain crew goes, this is turning out to be the most vicious she's run with. Turns out great cops make for great thieves, and great heroes... well...

There's nothing to it though, rogue JLA didn't just poisoned her, they made it clear how easy it was to snuff out Harley with the chaos ensuing on the Watchtower. And Charlie well... cute or not that boy is the only bargaining chip valuable enough to get the both of them out.

As Ivy's tendrils grew closer to the heroes, they branched out and encircled the room. They unscrewed the casing and made their ways into the computers. They slithered gently along the rows of hard drives and intricate circuits. For the moment, they disturbed nothing.

"Batman, listen. Wonder Woman she's..." Batgirl screamed into her ear piece.

At that moment, Poison Ivy sprung her trap shut. The tendrils creeping towards the heroes sprung up on the Flash and released a paralying spore. The spore caught him dead the face and he fell face first onto the floor.

"Wait... Wally!"

Another branch of the tendril wrapped itself in a protective cocoon around Charlie and the pipe he was cuffed to. The tendrils inside the cocoon broke his handcuff as it transported him back towards Poison Ivy.

At the same time, the tendrils inside the computer sprouted to full bloom and thrashed around inside the machine. Silicon and fibreglasses snapped like biscuits as loud grating noises eminated from every single computer in the Clocktower.
