Ivy's plants have begun to sprawl across the island. However, the team must not delay. So everyone quickly headed for the estate. One of the plants blocked the main entrance. Batman was about to climb up with a hook gun as Flora made an effort to remove the obstacle.

- Lucky to have you with us, - Bloom smiled, giving Flora a slight nudge as they all went inside.

- That's right, - Flora replied.

Once inside the lobby, everyone saw that Ivy's plants were sprouting through the building.

- Flora, I really wanted you to clean Ivy's face, - Stella said before Batman and Spider-Man used their tether guns and Winx used their wings to get to the other side.

-  Yeah, that witch must know, where the grass is greener, - Musa agreed.

- She doesn't even know what fairy she's messing with, - Flora said, before the team climbed into the vent.

It wasn't hard to get to Cash.

- We've been expecting you, - Cash said when he saw the heroes. - We know about the plant situation.  Poison Ivy's with Joker now.

- It's better not to touch them, - Tecna said after scanning the plants, - It's a death sentence.

- I see. You came here for another reason.

- Yeah, - Batman agreed, - where do you keep Croc? We stumbled across a door in the sewers once, but it was locked.

- He has a separate cell, - Cash answered grudgingly, - Between the ICU. The elevator leads to the old sewer.

- I'd better shut up, - Stella muttered when she heard the last word.

The team has been through a lot of dirt lately.

- There's a lot of blockage. And there's more security than Joker's. Sharp's got all the codes.

- Thanks, Cash, - Batman thanked him. - You should stay here.

- Sure, Batman, - he said.

- I wanted to ask you something, - Spider-Man spoke up before he left, - What happened to your hand?

- That? - Cash looked at his hook instead of his hand, - One of the encounters with Croc. He bit my hand off. It didn't break me, though.

- Thanks for the information, - Spider-Man followed the others, - Bloom, why don't you restore his arm?

- It's more complicated than healing wounds, - she said on her way out of the mansion.

Once outside, they all went to the designated area. Through an abandoned tunnel Batman, Spider-Man, and Winx made their way to the west side of the island. From there they emerged into the northern part. Oracle contacted them and reported, that she could not hack into the security systems. However, if the sniper was able to get to the roof, the team would find a way through. After climbing up and knocking out the shooter, the good guys entered the maintenance passageway.

- What was that? - Stella asked with panic as there was a jolt.

Everyone managed to stay on their feet.

- Ivy's plants are taking over, - Batman realized without stopping.

Spider-Man and Winx were not going to slow down either. So they followed him. Through the ventilation system, everyone made it to the seized ICU vestibule. Except now the gargoyles were beginning to set the explosives. Once the space was cleared, the code lock was broken. The field was deactivated, and the team walked out into the passageway to the cells. For some reason, however, everyone began to feel sick. A strange sound reached Spider-Man. When he struggled to open his eyes, there was darkness all around him. Spider-Man tried to move, but he couldn't. His arms and legs felt as if they were shackled. Suddenly the lights came on. Spider-Man's eyes were blurry. When his vision focused, he looked around. Spidey was confined to a gurney, and yes, he was in Ravencroft. He did not understand how he was here. Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening.
