[1] Beware the Batman and the Black Widow [1]

Red Roses

 Happy Valentine's Day Gotham

LOCATION: Gotham High way

"Hey slow down I have sever travel sickness you know!" Harley Quinn yells in my ear as she tightly holds onto me as we race my motor bike down the empty freeway with Cat woman not too far behind us in her corvette, and with there being no traffic it made navigating there much easier.

As I pull on my brakes we come to a slow and graceful stop and Harley leaps off of the back practically leaving claw marks on my arms 

"Ugh! Glorious land!" she yells as her legs give way on the gravel 

"Please my driving isn't that bad" I defend my self to the raving lunatic

"Trust me widow you drive like you've got a death wish, and I live with a lunatic" she exclaims as Cat woman's corvette pulls up next to us

"Damn Natasha you drive like a Bat out of hell" Cat woman smiles at me

<nonsense there's nothing wrong with my driving>

"Whatever let's go" I end the conversation and pull Quinn up off of the ground.    

The building was a small shop that displayed a closed sign on the door and lots of plants and net curtains decorating the window, it all looked very normal however appearances could be deceiving.

I dismount my bike and prepare to kick down the door when I am stopped by Cat woman "Hey hero there's such thing as subtly you know" Cat woman teases and uses her cat like claws to expertly pick the lock

<I can't help but be impressed with her criminal skill set maybe one day that skill set could be used for good> 

"Ta da!" it was very quiet in the shop it seems like nobody's home it was very quiet, but I'm cautious because I knew Ivy always used plant traps and tricks In her lairs 

Near the counter I spot a stand with Valentines day cards were neatly displayed, I notice one of the was a Black Widow themed one so I slip it into my outfit 

<Come on stealing from a lunatic was the least of my worries> 

"Hey over here" Quinn states as she points at some hanging vine plants she pulls them aside to reveal a hidden doorway

"It's an old trick of Ivy's" she tells me as we head down a dark passage way where the whole atmosphere had changed from happy homemaker florist to mad scientist lab.

"Hm home sweet home" I remark as I inspect a life sized human body model, 

 Vials of suspicious looking chemicals lined the walls along with many pots of roses, well we are definitely in the right place,

 I look through notes scattered across the table hoping they could point me in the direction of a cure, but my understanding of all this was nothing compared to poison Ivy's, but unfortunately I don't come across anything conclusive

"Well?" Cat Woman asks me I shake my head in frustration we need to talk to Ivy, suddenly I feel something wrap tightly around my legs and torso looks like I get my wish

"What's the Big idea!" Harley exclaims as she is too attacked by the monstrous vines

"Nothing personal Harley but I don't appreciate uninvited noses in my business" Ivy says as she steps out of the darkness of the hallway we walked down not moments ago.

"So Ivy what's the plan? Why turn Gotham into Themyscira if you wanted a woman's only paradise I could have put you in touch with Wonder Woman" I joke but Ivy doesn't share my humour
