The Lilac gets planted

Chapter 1 - The Lilac gets planted

Daytime, early afternoon the be precise our tale begins outside of Gotham Municipal Bank. You would be mistaken for thinking this was just another ordinary day in Gotham City this was anything but, as you see inside the bank one of Gotham's most ruthless villains was currently perpetrating a perfect plot to to pilfer every penny in the vault. The alarms sound, the doors swing open and out steps Louis the Lilac in his trademark lilac suit and hat, carrying bags of money under each arm, he approaches the getaway car a limosine with blacked out windows as auspicious a getaway as one can get. The door opens and Louis stands looking inside a gawping grin crawls over his face as he marvels at whatever was inside. Suddenly the pointed toe of a green high heel shoe emerges first from the car then the heel, followed by the most slender leg you've ever seen wrapped in green Spandex the legs seemed to go on for days but eventually the rest followed a slim waist, a busom that defied gravity almost pouring out of a leafy one piece, flowing red hair cascading on her immaculate smooth shoulders. The woman silently inspects Louis' haul "Did I do well Pammie?" He asks with a look of utter devotion across his face. The woman smiles almost a look of pity on her face "You did a wonderful job Louis, and how many times it's not Pamela MY NAME IS POISON IVY". She reaches into a clutch bag connected to her belt and pulls out a small perfume bottle and sprays it in his face, he's so mesmerized he drops the bags of money she points to Louis' henchmen who quickly collect the bags and throw them in the car. The woman approaches Louis "You know I love all plants and flowers correct?" He nods, "And that includes Lilacs" her face drops from one of seduction to pure scorn "But even I have to admit there's some flowers so rotten the only thing you can do is pull them at the roots...so Louis the Lilac let me plant a kiss on you". Louis nods **** for any morcel of attention Poison Ivy would bestow on him, she reaches back into the bag pulls out a lipstick touching up her immaculate lips she approaches Louis is trembling as their lips get closer then they touch Louis had never felt anything like it he was in heaven as the kiss ended Ivy stepped back surveying the stupified Lilac. "Bye, Louis" she waved suddenly the true effects of the kiss. His lips begin burn and blister as the poison enters his veins, his tongue begins to swell and thick green lines warp his face. Ivy approaches peeling the lilac from his lapel and laughs as she says "Die Louis" she gets in the car and it speeds away.

Bruce and Dick are sharing some playful banter in the den at Wayne Manor when a light signalling the Batphones flashes, the dynamic duo take their iconic batpoles down to the Batcave. Batman picks up the phone "Hello" he says forgetting to use his slight adjusted Batman voice for a moment. "Batman, it's an emergency...wait is that Bruce Wayne?" Replies Commissioner Gordon. Batman adjusts his voice "Certainly not commissioner I'd do well to steer clear of that fancyful playboy"..."But the voice just then.", "Well you see commissioner part of the training Robin and I partake in involves intense speech therapy, the idea of mimicking another's voice it's quite incredible and I was simply practicing Bruce Waynes voice"...The commissioner thinks for a moment "Splendid Batman it's quite uncanny...can you do me?" Batman thinking on his feet "Was there not an emergency Commissioner?"..."Yes, oh yes Louis the Lilac robbed the Gotham Municipal Bank today and..." Batman cuts him off "Ah so our old friend Louis the Lilac is up to his old tricks again I see, well I've got just the place to plant that lilac it gets an average amount of sunlight every day during recreational time and all the water it can drink in Gotham City jai..." Commissioner Gordon cuts him off "That's the thing Batman, we found Louis the Lilac half dead outside the bank with a tropical poison" "We'll be right there commissioner"... Sometime later Batman, Robin Chief O'Hara, and Commissioner Gordon are outside the bank, a chalk cut out of where Louis body lay with a lipstick kiss mark on the face "What happened to him?" Asks Batman. "I don't know" replies Commissioner Gordon, "He robbed the bank and then suddenly keeled over outside" adds O'Hara. Batman further inspects the chalk outline "Commissioner Gordon, if I may why is there a lipstick mark on the outline?", "Well we found a lipstick mark on his lips as if he'd been kissed" Batman puts a finger to his chin pondering "And you say it was a tropical poison?" Batman and Robin knowingly nod at each other as Robin says "Holy venomous kiss Batman", "You may be right old chum but let's not be so hasty there's mutliple ways Louis could have been poisoned, where is he now?", "On life support at Gotham City General hospital, tis a sad sight to see even for a rogue like him". "Had it not been for the hardwork and quick thinking of one of the medics that attended the scene Louis would already be dead" adds Commissioner Gordon. Suddenly a head pokes out of the banks window, a bald, bespectacled man with thick rims "My bank has been robbed Gordon what are you going to do about it?", "I've got Batman and Robin on the case your money may as well be sitting in that vault" the commissioner reassures the man, he nods his head and peels back inside. Batman turns back to Robin "We need to investigate, back to the Batcave" and with that they jump in the Batmobile.
