PLOT: Jumping to every step from room to room that Batman went, Copperhead followed always from above.Soon enough he reached who she's meant to prevent him from getting to, now she needs to strike!
Slipping through countless pipes above her target, she reaches the end and waits for the right time to ambush him.
That time....was....NOW!!
She swung off the pipes, ran towards Batman, jumping and wrapping her legs around his head and using the strength she had to throw him 25ft along the floor.
It didn't take Batman very long to regain his posture standing back up from being launched a distance, he took recognition of the ambushing opponent and knew that she would be quite the fight. He says her name in a "I expected you to show eventually" type of tone...Batman: "Copperhead!"
When she heard him say her name, part of her anger took a turn but her quest was to kill him.
Going right for a crawl slash for her to inner give the poison, he stopped it and tried to hold her down, turning to face him she used her acrobatic flexibility to kick him on releasing her, it worked and she climbed upon his right shoulder to attempt another slash that he blocked and threw her off him towards the glass window, allowing her reflexes to prevent that she landed her toes into the wall and looked at him again with surprise in her expression yet hid it as he glared back at her before both heard Black Mask trying to leave, she knew she had to stop him and gave herself no choice...
He was too skilled to stop fairly.
When his back was turned to go after Black Mask, Copperhead pounced towards Batman and crawled all around him before managing to stab a poisonous claw into his neck and flips back to where she was, watches as he inspects the injury and sufferingly requests an answer to what he was feeling...Batman: "What did you do to me??"
Stumbling from blurred vision gave her a bit of guilt but not much, she poisoned him and wondering how long he'll last before dropping?
She didn't want to be silent from the bit of guiltiness she has, so she tried sounding like a menacing predator towards him...Copperhead: "I killed you. And in a few more minutes, your body will realize it." She kept watching as he found efforts to get up slowly, she seen it that got up with a struggle and said; Copperhead: "Heh... That's it. Use your strength. With every effort -- you hasten your end."
Now being an invisible form, even being in front of Batman, she listens to everything he says....Batman: "Must....scan the room for....Copperhead's poison"
*2 Seconds Later* "Female Perspiration, Copperhead...came this way." *Another 2 Seconds Later* "All I need...is...one drop...of poison!"
*Took a few more seconds longer*
"There. It's a powerful neuro toxin."Copperhead stayed almost beside her death drugged up target that was slouched forward, holding his gut from the killable effects of her injective dosage. Moving slowly. Afterwards, she seen him his right hand up towards his head and stutterly speaks to someone called Alfred....
Batman: "Alfred? Sending you an analysis for a nerve toxin. Need you to synthesize...an...antidote."
She wasn't from around Gotham, so she had no idea who an Alfred would connect to.
She was also invisible to Batman's vision at this point, she got closer to see if she could hear the voice of the person on the other side of the communication gadget. She could barely hear it.
