(Two Little Cameo in this Chapter, But That's it, Just Cameos, Think Nothing More)

It was the next day, with both (Y/N) and Poison Ivy were ready to enact their plan. It was a break in at Arkham Asylum, Home for the Criminally Insane. This 'Mr Freeze' had been locked up here as Arkham could house his unique condition. Bane pulled the car up to the main entrance, waiting for his masters to leave as he would get into position. Both (Y/N) suited up as Thorn stepped out, and Ivy, now dressed in a tight fitting bright green catsuit, showing off her tight curves. The car pulled away, as the two looked up at the prison which was located on the edge of a cliff strangely enough. 

"Remember the plan?" (Y/N) asked as they approached the door entry to walk in, as both would go in different directions once entered. 

"Course I do, you know yours?" Ivy asked, looking up at (Y/N) who had his jacket done up to not draw too much attention. 

Rolling his eyes, (Y/N) tug into his pockets and pulled out what seemed to be a small test tube which was empty. "Yes I am the one who came with the plan" he annoyingly replied with a smirk. (Y/N) then opened the door, with Ivy giving a smirk as she walked in, with him following. Some eyes were instantly glued to the two, more so on Ivy as she approached the front desk. 

"Excuse me" she said to the security guard as she blew a small wave of pheromones at him. "I'm Victor Fries sister, was wondering if you could help?" asked with a devilish smirk. While Ivy was lead deep into the Asylum, (Y/N) pushed through an open door and a journey himself. As Ivy went to meet the iceman, (Y/N) would find a suitable escape route. 

The Asylum itself was a madhouse, laughter and screams filled the unguarded hallways. Standard lunatics, thugs, people who clearly needed help. Scanning one hallway, (Y/N) noticed a name that seemed familiar; 

'Edward Nygma' 

(Y/N) recalled that name, he was someone who also worked at Wayne Enterprises. Only met him a handful of times, seemed to be a bit of a know it all. Very weird, a loud annoying laugh as well. A part of (Y/N) was actually intrigued on to why he all of people was in Arkham, sure he was little weird but most humans were. The hybrid moved to open the small window on the door to look into the cell. 

That's when (Y/N) realised why Nygma was in here;

He was complete batshit insane. Wearing toilet paper across his body, creasing down his sleeves and flapping them like a Bat. 

"I'M BATMAN!" he cried like a made laugh, causing (Y/N) to quickly close the window, slightly disturbed. Seems as if he had also encountered Batman at some point, and not taken his defeat well. His mind was completely broke, shattered like a window with only small shards of sanity remaining.

"Can I help you?" a feminine voice called from behind (Y/N) startling the hybrid slightly. Since this was a woman, (Y/N) subtly unbuttoned his jacket, wanting to test his skills. "Excuse me" the voice called out, sounding impatient. 

"Sorry I was looking for an exit" (Y/N) calmly replied turning round to look at the presumed Doctor. "Seems I had gotten lost" he smiled looking upon the blond Doctor, wearing a white lab coat and red button up shirt. The woman seemed slightly stunned, looking (Y/N) up and done almost in a trance. Smirking at the women, looking down at her name tag. "Apologies, Doctorrrr Quinzel, I just got a little lost" he repeated. 

Doctor Quinzel brushed some hair behind her ear nervously, clearing her throat to focus herself. "Well this area is restricted for staff only, I'm sorry but I must alert the guards" she said, turning around, but not before sneaking a peak at the unbuttoned jacket. Although before Harleen could walk down the corridor, (Y/N) grabbed her arm gently making sure not to scare or harm the doctor. 

"Apologies Doctor, they just didn't let me see, my friend" he motioned back to the sealed cell of Edward Nygma. "I have journeyed far to see him" he said, putting on a sad expression which the doctor seemed to buy. 

"Oh, sorry. Well Edward Nygma is a unique case. Driven mad by an encounter with the Batman, he has made no progress. Almost as if his very brain is scarred and locked in a state of pure panic and fear" she explained, looking over several notes linked to the patient, doing her best to keep her eyes off (Y/N). Doctor Quinzel couldn't control herself, this man just had a warm, welcoming aura around him. "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name, Mister?"

"Oh sometimes I like to go by the name, Thorn" he answered with a satisfying smirk. He was wasting time, he needed to either find an appropriate exit or link up with Ivy at Freeze's cell. "Apologies, Doctor Quinzel I shall let your resume your work" he finished, placing his hand in his jacket pockets and walking. 

Although before (Y/N) could walk off, he was in the one to feel a slight tug on his left elbow and turned to see that Harleen Quinzel had a blush visible on her face. "If you wouldn't mind me asking, if I could get your e-e-exact information" she said, causing a sinister grin to plaster on his lips. (Y/N) moved to hold her chin in-between his left index finger and thumb. 

This was all thanks to a certain cologne (Y/N) developed during the day, using the same basic formula Ivy used for her pheromones only tailored to his biology. While Ivy's pheromones attracted men towards her, (Y/N)'s cologne would attract women to him. 

(Y/N) flashed one more smile to the infatuated Harleen, before he planted a kiss to her lips which she seemed to melt under. Her arms stiffened and she wanted more, sadly for her (Y/N) separated as quickly as he kissed her. "I'm so sorry Doctor Quinzel" he said coyly as the good Doctor lost her strength and slumped against the wall, the veins around her lips slowly being covered in green. "But when in a relationship-" the alarm soon began to off, singling the hybrid had to find the location of Freeze now as he walked away. "-I can be quite toxic" he finished as the Doctor's eyes closed. 

(Y/N) calmly walked through the Asylum, guards were springing into action. Holding out his right arm, (Y/N) had the sword appear as he dawned a smirk and his Thorn persona. 

"Hey you, freak" one guard called out, drawing a baton with another joining him. "You get out of intensive care with the others?" he asked as he and the other guard drew closer. 

Thorn simply looked at his grass blade then back to the guards. "Intensive care?" he questioned with a sinister grin, knowing that was close by. "Is that where I might find one Victor Fries?" he carried on. 

Although he didn't get an answer as the first guard yelled and swung his baton downward. Thorn in response moved to the side, delivering a slash downwards over the guards back, slicing through the uniform easily and showing a large wound now leaking blood. The second guard stepped backwards out of fear, although he seemingly found his courage swung his own baton wildly. Back and fourth, actually managing to hit Thorn's side and hurt the hybrid slightly. Annoyed by the attempt, Thorn used his blade to easily shred through the baton causing the guard to go wide eyed. 

"Why must humans always resist?" he asked himself, slicing the man's neck and causing him to hold it as he fell to his knees. With Thorn paying the dying guard no attention as he continued on his way, deeper into the Asylum. Alarms continued to blare, and as Thorn crossed into another room which was a joining for multiple corridors. A guard actually landed in front of Thorn being thrown by none other than Bane, who had acquired Freeze's suit and cold gun. All of much which he was pushing round in a shopping kart. 

"Do you know where you're going?" Thorn asked as the blade wrapped around his wrist. 

"GRRRR" Bane growled back with a nod. 

"Lead the way" he gestured to the many corridors that lay before them. Bane charged through the middle corridor, bashing another guard long the way. 

The two journeyed into the Asylum, slashing and beating any guards they came across. Thorn could tell that they were rapidly approaching the cell in which Freeze was being held in, as the amount of security and pipes seemed to increase. The pipes most likely needed to compensate for liquid nitrogen for the intense cold needed to keep the iceman iced. As they were quickly approaching what must have been the cell, more and more guards appeared. With Thorn activating his blade and cutting down as many as they could. Luckily, the door seemed to open for them as Ivy pressed the button on the other side and shutting right after they managed to get in. 

"His name is Bane" Ivy introduced the brute to Freeze who chuckled upon seeing the venom induced idiot. "And this" Poison Ivy continued placing her hands on her partners shoulders. "Is my darling Thorn" she said kissing his cheek. 

"A laundry service that delivers, wow" was all Freeze had to praise. The iceman himself had blue skin, dressed in classic black/white prison outfit, stood in the centre of the room where a blue light shined on a bed. Most likely what kept him alive. 

Minutes later as more and more guards tried to open the sealed door, Freeze had dressed himself in his metal suit. 

"What are you about 50 big and tall?" Ivy asked looking Freeze up and down. 

"No I always go a size smaller, makes me look slimmer" he answered. 

At the door, one could see that a blow torch was now being used to try and get into the cell. All four villains noticing with Thorn remarking, "I believe there will be enough time for chit chat, after we escape this hell hole" to which Ivy nodded. 

Although before anyone could form a plan, Freeze's suit began to buzz which he inspected. "I'm running on empty. I need the diamonds from my hide-out".

"We'll help  you grab your gear" Thorn said but a thought did cross the hybrids mind. 'How exactly do you turn diamonds into an energy source'. Although everyone looked to see that the cutting torch had made substantial progress. "Bane" Thorn called and the brute was at his side. "Create an exit if you'd be so inclined" he said pressing the central button. 

Bane walked over to the cell wall, and bashed against it hoping to form a hole. Sadly however, nothing of the sorts happened. 

"Reinforced steel, not good" Ivy noted, looking to Freeze and Thorn. 

Freeze then walked over to a sink which seemed to have rusted and not in use. Turning on the water, Freeze let out some of the liquid nitrogen in his suit, the freezing spreading to the pipes. "Always winterise your pipes" he noted as the freezing spread to pipes along the wall, creating a chain reaction and an explosion which burst a hole for the escape. Which worked, somehow. 

Thorn, Ivy and Freeze walked over to the hole, and saw that it let directly to the water below. 

"While I get my diamonds, you two and meat loaf, retrieve my wife" Freeze said which shocked both the plant hybrids. 

 "So the snowman isn't cold hearted" Thorn joked just as the guards had managed to cut through the metal door. Freeze then leaped off the edge down below, with Thorn nodding for Bane to follow leaving only Thorn and Ivy in the cell. 

"This job just got completed" she said, meaning to Freeze's wife with Thorn just shrugging. 

"Not long now" he said as guards removed the door. "And we'll have no need of him" he said, just as Ivy was about to jump, Thorn ended up pushing her. Turning around to meet the horde of guards, Thorn smiled. Firing off a multitude of thorns from his wrists, which hit and killed several guards, before the criminal gave a two fingered salute and fell backwards joining his companions and lover. 

(Timeskip)

The four villains had made it back into the heart of Gotham. Using a backdoor exit, Freeze had managed to sneak everyone into his lair which was swarmed with Police, and the Dynamic Duo. Using the underground of the lair to their advantage, the three criminals with brains looked up to through a grate that Freeze's wife was being contained a tank of bubbly liquid. With Batman and Robin checking over her diagnosis, she had something known as 'MacGregor's Syndrome' nasty thing. 

"There she is" Freeze stated, sounding relieved to see his frozen wife. 

"You and Bane get the diamonds, me and Ivy will recover your Snowy Bride" Thorn stated, coming with a plan that will be sure to work as working in pairs should. "Then Bane can direct back to our hideout" he finished. 

"No" Freeze said, almost as if he was out of breath. "In my weakened condition, I'm no match for the Bat and Bird" he let out, looking up at them. 

"Oh you leave those boys to us, now go" Ivy hurried Freeze and he and Bane marched through the walkway towards the main area. "You have a plan?" Ivy asked turning to Thorn who seemed to still be looking to come up with one. 

"I'm all ears" he said with a shrug as Ivy held out the palm of her hand. 

"Follow my lead" she gestured, blowing a handful of love dust through the grate getting the attention of the Caped duo. Ivy and Thorn back the way they came. Only this time they took a left turn, leading them to a walkway which went over several vats of what seemed to be ice cream. 

"So this is where we make our stand?" he asked raising an eyebrow, also wondering why nobody had found Freeze sooner if he was hiding in an ice cream factory. 

"Yes, I only need to ensure one of them, then the other will break" she said moving closer to Thorn who smiled. 

"Meaning you'll kiss one, in front of me? How daring" he smirked, grabbing her hips. Both moving closer as they could hear footsteps of the adversaries drawing closer. 

"MMM" she agreed, bringing their her lips to his as he pushed her gently against the rallying. The two instantly opened their mouths and explored the other's mouth, enjoying the sensation and feeling of being close together. Quickly however, their mouths separated, as both vigilantes arrived on the other end of the walkway. 

"Oh don't mind me boys" Thorn spoke up, moving towards them and summoning his blade as Ivy back up and prepared to make her move. "Just been enjoying the forbidden fruit that is Poison Ivy" he laughed, trying to bring out a reaction from one or both of them. It seemed to work in the case of Robin, as his expression turned to one of anger and jealousy as he was the one to charge in first. 

Thorn held his against the younger hero, although Robin had the agility backing him up. Landing a clear blow to Thorn's face although the hybrid didn't falter, stabbing his sword forward which Robin avoided to the side which worked for Thorn. Bringing his elbow back and delivering a clear blow to Robin's head knocking him backwards into a nearby pile of boxes. Thorn turning his attention to the Bat, assuming a battle stance as Batman prepared to attack. 

Just as Robin was about to pick himself back up, Poison Ivy crouched down next to him;

"Hey there pretty birdy" she flirted to the hero. 

"Give yourself up, if you surrender-" he tried to speak although Ivy cut him off.

"To you?" she said, blowing a fistful of dust directly into his face. 

"Polly want a kiss?" she asked as Robin fell under her spell. 

Back with Thorn and Batman, the vigilante was pressing his combat experience against the hybrid. Blocking the grass blade between his gauntlet talons and kicking the hybrid in the stomach sending him back. Thorn then went for several slashes of his blade, using his superior abilities to catch Batman by surprise. As he charged in, he fired a thorn at the Caped Crusader's head and he was forced to block it. Leaving his midsection wide open as Thorn got a successful slash in. It didn't seem to penetrate the rubber like suit, but it did leave it's mark. Batman looked down at the massive slash mark then back to Thorn, being immediately socked in the face by the hybrid. Batman was sent over the edge, and crashed down into a pile of bags, interrupting Ivy's seduction of the Boy Wonder, much to her annoyance.

Robin snapped out of his trance, managing to pick himself up and charge once again at Thorn. The young hero was thrown off his game, meaning Thorn was able to push him back. Sending light projectiles at the hero who struggled to block them. Thorn then moving in with his blade, with Robin tiring and let a few jabs get through. 

Meanwhile Ivy turned her attention to the Batman who was attempting to pick himself up. 

"There's something about an anatomically correct, rubber suit that puts fire in a girl's lips" she purred, laying next to the Dark Knight, pushing her body against his side. Blowing pheromones into his face only for him to shake them away. 

"Why are all the gorgeous ones homicidal maniacs? Is it me?" he asked.

"Enough, sweet talk"she whispered, moving her face closer to his. 

"Oh no" Batman said, pushing her away and standing to his feet causing Ivy to roll her eyes. "First you're gonna tell me where Freeze is" he grabbed her hand to stop anymore pheromones from being blown. "Then you're going to jail".

Seeing that Ivy was in a rough spot, Thorn turned his attention and quickly slashed at Robin's leg. Causing the hero to fall to the ground in pain as Thorn made his way to assist his partner. 

"I'm a lover not a fighter" Ivy began to Batman. "That's why every Poison Ivy action figure comes complete with him!" she pointed with her foot snapping it in the air. As Thorn withdrew his sword, he easily reached his right hand out, and grabbed hold of Batman's throat. Lifting him into the air beginning to choke the Dark Knight, who struggled to the grasp and tried to punch his way free. 

"Hands off" Thorn warned as Ivy composed herself. 

"Try not to make a mess when you die" Ivy taunted, pecking her lover on the cheek, swaying her hips as she moved up the small metal steps towards the weakened, still recovering Robin. 

Batman seeing what Ivy was about to do, pulled out one of his signature Batarangs, and stabbed it into Thorn's arm. Causing a cut to form, Thorn to drop the hero and blood to leak out. As Batman tried to move up the steps, Thorn grabbed the back of Batman's cape and pulled him backwards. Causing Batman to slam against the wall and continue his match with Thorn. 

Robin picked himself back up, and was imeddatly face to face with Poison Ivy. 

"Stop" she commanded to him, blowing pheromones into his face. Instantly Robin was hit with the full effects, the thought of the fight vanishing being replaced with Ivy. 

Then moved closer to him. "Living in the shadow of the big bad Bat, you don't need him" She started, placing both her hands on his shoulder to keep him in place. "You're the star, I can see it now, your own big bright signal in the sky. Let me guide you?" she asked bringing him in closer. 

Back with Thorn and Batman, the two were engaging equal blows as Batman struggled to catch his breath. Batman managed to get a few quick bows in, then using his grappling hook, he fired it at a nearby steel beam, which brought the beam in close and collided with Thorn sending him to the ground. 

"Let me kiss you" she whispered, thinking this would be it. Just as Ivy was about to kiss Robin. their lips mere millimetres apart to the point he could smell her mint breath. 

"STOP!" Batman yelled marching up the stairs towards the pair. "The victim at the airport, toxins are introduced through the mouth" he declared, meaning he solved the little game Ivy was playing. 

As Batman and Robin began to argue back and fourth, Robin acting of pure high of the pheromones, Ivy snaked past them to the recovering Thorn. 

"You okay?" she asked as she helped him to his feet, seeing a few bruises on his exposed skin.

"Yeah" was all Thorn said as he looked towards the fighting duo. "I believe it's time to make an exit" he suggested, with Ivy nodding back. The two worked their way a nearby ladder, suddenly seeing Robin swing at Batman, only for Batman to retaliate by pushing Robin into a vat of ice cream, which sadly wouldn't be fatal. 

"HA" Ivy laughed as she reached the top of the lander. 

"Gentlemen" Thorn excused himself by doing a two finger salute and climbing up joining Ivy in a tunnel above. Seeing vegetation around the hole, Ivy closed her hand and the plant life sealed itself over the hole to block any pursuers. "Well they seem to be getting along" Thorn joked as he looked around to see they were in a long hallway with the walls being covered in large silver pipes leading somewhere. 

"Yes" Ivy drew out, looking Thorn up and down. "They do" instantly she pounced on him, locking her arms around his neck and pushing her lips against his. The force of Ivy, caused Thorn to rest his back into the rough pipes, and place his hands on her waist. The two exchanged salvia with breathy moans, remaining locked in place, as both poured their passion into the kiss. Ivy separating and looking up at her partner. 

"Where did that come from?" he asked, slightly confused although he was not complaining.

"I love you" she answered, causing Thorn to go wide eyed and his breath to be caught in his throat. His mouth hanging open like and idiot. 

"I love you too" was all he could respond as Ivy gave him a quick peck on the lips once more. 

"Come" she said, separating from her lover as she journeyed back inside the hideout. "We still have one more thing we must accomplish" she said, swaying her hips with a slow.  

Thorn starred for a minute, slightly confused where Ivy's display of affection came from. Though he quickly shook his head and sped walk to catch up with her. 

The pathway Ivy lead them down, made it so the two came to the grate they had lured the duo through before. Meaning they could climb in, and 'rescue' Freeze's wife. Both plant hybrids walked throughout the room, examining the woman. 

"Just so you know this isn't how you should treat a woman" Ivy joked at Thorn as the two looked at the sick woman's almost dead face. 

"I'll write that down" he joked back. "But you are right, this isn't how you treat a woman, and not a way a to live" he said, Ivy instantly catching onto his train of thought. 

"No it's not, we should put the poor woman put of her misery" 

With both in agreement, Thorn activated his sword, and stabbed into the glass container. The tank burst, sending water and glass throughout the room, sending the body of Nora Fries crashing into a nearby control console. 

Ivy crouched down over her body, and picked up the snowflake necklace Nora had. Showing it off to Thorn who seemed slightly lost as to why she took it. 

"We need proof, that the dastardly Batman and Robin, pulled the plug on dear Mrs Clause, to punish our Icy friend" she said, tucking the snowflake into a pocket. 

Thorn just nodded in agreement, as the two retreated back into the pipe system. "It's afraid we found her like that, there was simply nothing we could do".
