Poison and Venom

Whiskey

The Bourbon was good and went down smoothly. The duo had finally stated to exchange words that didn't have cruel intentions. Ivy went to pour Bane another glass when he stopped her.

"What happened Ivy? What happened to you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ivy diverted the question and finished her drink.

"Seven years ago when we were young and in love and I wanted you to be mine forever and you just said no. You walked away and didn't come back." Bane stared at her, appalled that he brought up what had been boiling up in him since he saw her.

Ivy couldn't deflect it anymore. She knew the reason she left, but didn't think she'd ever be able to put it into words. She didn't want to seem weak. She didn't want a weakness, but he deserved to know...

"Because if it came down to taking Gotham city, taking down the Batman and everything that could stop me from getting what I want...if it came a matter of that and having you... I'd choose you. I didn't want that weakness. I am who I am because of my anger and my thirst for revenged. I am-..."

Bane stood up from the table and walked over towards Ivy. He looked angry and something else she'd never seen in him before.

"You selfish bitch!" He yelled and he grabbed her by her hair and kissed her hard.
