That's the Ice Thing About Winter

(Y/N) and Ivy returned to their hideout, both still grinning at the success of their mission. While neither of the Caped Crusaders were dead, they were torn and ready to divide and conquer. Walking into the main area with the pond, both were surprised to find that Freeze had certainly made this place his own. Freezing an entire portion of the hideout in ice, moving in what appeared to be lab equipment. With him now out of his suit, in a blue nightgown with Bane following the ice man's command. 

"HUMPH, make yourself right at home" Ivy said, clearly unimpressed at the amount of plan life that had evacuated from that portion of the Baths. With Freeze seemingly uncaring for the plant life around his cornered off area. 

"Seems you like comfort over style" (Y/N) said as he looked around at the amalgamation of science equipment. 

Freeze then stopped mixing chemicals, turning to face the hybrids. "Where is my wife?" he asked, his hands almost trembling with fear, eyes shocked. 

"There was nothing we could do, Batman pulled her plug. She's dead" Ivy explained her and (Y/N) putting on a saddled expression. 

"YOU LIE!" Freeze roared pointing his finger at the duo. 

In response, (Y/N) hold the snowflake necklace in his fingers letting it tangle and Freeze's expression softened and his eyes lay upon it. "Oh no" he whispered, taking it in one hand. Starring at it for a second, Freeze closed his eyes. Allowing a single tear to drop, which instantly froze. 

"Our deepest condolences" Ivy said, nodding her head as if at a funeral. 

"Their bones will turn to ice!" he yelled, smashing a nearby ice shard that had risen from the ground. "Their blood with freeze in my hands!" he continued, making fists. 

"Kill them of course, but why stop there?" Ivy asked, as Freeze turned his back she looked to (Y/N) with a wicked smile. "Why should only Batman and Robin die, when the society that created them gos unpunished?" she declared, raising her voice to show the power she possessed. 

"YES" Freeze agreed turning towards them. "If I must suffer, humanity will suffer with me. "I shall repay them for sentencing me to a life without warmth of human comfort. I will blanket the city in endless winter!" he preached waving his hands around. Moving to a table with a snow globe of the city. "First Gotham, and then the WORLD!" he finished like a dictator giving in mind. 

"You read our heads frosty. You see when the world is covered in ice it will give us-" (Y/N) motioned to him and Ivy. "-Nature to start again. We can heal this planet to a point where humans will be nothing but a distant memory. We can begin a rebirth on planet Earth". 

"Exactly" Ivy cut in. "With humanity extinguished our plants will rule this world" she finished trying to persuade Freeze as much as possible. Most of this talk was just complete lies, how was plant life supposed to live with ice surrounding it? Anything to get Freeze on their side. 

"Yes" he agreed looking at the snow-globe then back up to the pair. "You two distract the Bat and Bird while I prepare to freeze Gotham!" he said, smashing the snow-glove in his hands, going back to his work and Bane assisting him, Freeze more motivated to complete his device. 

While (Y/N) and Ivy left Freeze's little Fortress of Solitude his created. Both looking at each other and smiling, knowing that their plan was in full swing. 

"So, how do you suggest we get the attention of Batman and Robin?" he asked her, placing an arm over her shoulder as the two made preparations. 

"Oh, I have a few ideas. Best way to Robin's heart is through his ego" Ivy commented. "I'm feeling peckish I think I'll have some poultry. But we're gonna have to get you a suit" she said, patting his chest, seeing his confusion. "I believe Wayne Enterprises are holding a party for that fancy telescope tomorrow evening, let's see if the Commissioner will be there" she added. Although (Y/N) was slightly lost, he trusted Ivy's judgment. 

(Next Day)

(Y/N) (L/N) and Pamela Isley mood in the centre of the Gotham Observatory and watched the black-tie gala swirl around them. With a quick stop at the bank, where they made a hefty withdrawal with the help of a very understanding teller, the two had acquired outfits suitable for tonight. 

(Y/N) had gone for a classic suit, consisting of a black turtleneck underneath, and a dark suit all matching. Although he didn't bother to do his hair, they were simply trying to blend in not impress anyone. 


Pamela on the other hand had gone for a nature themed dress which complimented her beauty perfectly. While she sore her glasses and wig covering her red hair, (Y/N) could look past that and see her in all her beauty. 


A storm of camera strobes alerted them to the entrance of someone important, at lead by the media's standards. Turning, they both saw who it was. Bruce Wayne, and his airhead lady friend Julie Madison. The rich folk moving to greet the guests that had assembled. Then, (Y/N) tapped Pamela as  he saw their target, Commissioner Gordon. The same old man who had warned them about Mr Freeze in the first place. The head copper broke off from the crowed, reaching for a glass of champagne off a waiter's tray, when Pamela left (Y/N) to make her move. 

Approaching him coyly, Pamela purred his name to get his attention then spoke up. "I've always wondered" se began. "Where does that big old bat light come from anyway?" she asked, as (Y/N) remained close by. 

The commissioner turned to her, but before he could answer Pamela flipped open a hand held mirror and a heap of her love dust at him square in the face. Gordon was stunned, and completely under her spell. "It's, it's on top of police headquarters" he stammered. 

Pamela took his arm, and led him to a corner like a puppy. "I'd just love to see it" she told him. "But you probably don't have access". 

The idiot grinned under his moustache, "Dear lady. I'm the commissioner of the police" he dug into his pocket and brought out a few keys around a singular ring. "I have the keys right here in my pocket. Would you like to see it?" 

Pamela in réponse blew a heavy dose of pheromones directly at Gordon's face further amplifying the attraction. Even (Y/N) was hit with a small swirl, although he could have Pamela anytime he wanted. A small swirl of dust even hit the playboy billionaire, his senses fairing and looking in the direction of the smell. 

"Who are you dear lady?" Gordon asked, Pamela about to silence him with a kiss. 

"Pamela" (Y/N) cheered popping in just before she could. "I must show you something, it's incredible" he added causing her to break away from Gordon. 

"On second thought, you're much too old for me" she insulted to the commissioner, who was so high from the dust he didn't seem to care. Both leaving him there as they journeyed deeper into the crowed. "Thank you darling" she praised as she looked to him. "What is this incredible thing then?" she asked playfully. 

"He approaches" (Y/N)whispered and Pamela directed her eyes to Bruce Wayne currently steaming his way through the crowed. 

Bruce looked like a man on a desperate quest, and his annoying lady friend didn't even seem to be with him. Then Pamela saw the slightest hint of love dust on the lapel of the rich mans tuxedo and she understood. A little of wha she'd blown at Gordon must've hit Wayne as well, and the desired effect, or more accurately the effect of desire. 

(This small segment is depicting events in the Batman & Robin novelisation. Yes I read that for you guys, don't make me do it again. Please)

'How lovely' she thought to herself. With Bruce walking to cut the two off before they could move anywhere, Pamela feeling (Y/N) place an arm around her waist almost like a form of protection. Although he knew she needed protecting from the likes of Bruce Wayne. 

"Doctor Isley" Bruce said. "It was as if I could feel you in the room. You're enchanting. Gorgeous. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen" he rambled like a mad man. Entertaining Pamela and (Y/N) as Bruce was under the full effects of the dust. "If you're, um, free......this evening?" now that was surprising. He really was full of himself.  Causing the two plant hybrids to giggle. 

Suddenly the Madison woman caught up to him. "Bruce?" she asked, her eyes showing concern. "What in heaven's name are you doing?".

I think he's asking me on a date" Ivy said, toying with both Bruce and Madison. 

"Only he's asking a committed woman on a date, in a stammering, stuttering sort of way" (Y/N) finished, smiling coyly. 

Madison looked from one of the pair to the other then to Bruce. Then pulling at his hand, away from Pamela and (Y/N) slightly. "I've heard of commitment anxiety, but this is inane. YOu're not really propositioning another woman right in front of me are you?". 

The Wayne seemed to be having trouble with the statement. Both Pamela and (Y/N) knew that he didn't care what Madison said, he had other things on his mind. 

"Define, propositioning" he replied. 

By now of course, the press had gotten wind of the argument. Gradually surrounding the two couples. 

"Make a choice" Madison declare for everyone to hear, aware of the reporters. "Her, or me Bruce". 

Bruce Wayne hesitated but only for a few seconds. "Well, her" as all he had to say. 

Madison was obviously heart broken, her lips beginning to ramble. "I get it Bruce. You're not the marrying kind. You've made your point" she turned, but hesistated for a brief moment, even looking at (Y/N) with the same flare Bruce had in his eyes. But her emotions overrode her desire, "Good-bye".  With that, Madison pushed her way through the crowed. The two hybrids chuckling between themselves lightly. 

Pamela then spoke up, "Physical, perfect, charm and wealth" she said causing Wayne to turn to her. "All tossed aside for a woman who's already taken? How do you explain your behaviour Mr Wayne?", even he seemed puzzled by himself. 

"I can't. But perhaps tonight over a candlelight dinner...." he suggested. 

(Y/N) kept his mouth shut, as he both he and Ivy saw an opening, with her taking it;

"Maybe your witless, playboy persona works on your bimbos du jour" she said loudly enough for all the reporters to hear. "But as a woman, who doesn't need wealth to make me happy" she said placing on (Y/N)'s stroking it. "I am not in the least bit titillated by your attentions Mr Wayne" she finished, gently kissing (Y/N)'s chest to make the playboy even more jealous. 

He looked at (Y/N) then her, "Does that men dinner's a no?" he asked like a child who didn't understand the assignment. People began to murmur amongst themselves, with Bruce most likely feeling chagrinned. 

'That'll teach him to destroy the ecology with his conglomerate indifference' (Y/N) thought to himself with a smirk showing on his face. (Y/N) then lead Pamela through the crowed. Although before they could, a hand from Mr Wayne grabbed Pamela's right arm. 

"It's just, that I sort of......kind of......love you" he admitted, although this time (Y/N) took an opening. Immediately hitting Bruce across the face, shocking the crowed, photos being taken and Bruce holding his face. 

"Mr Wayne, I believe you need to understand the meaning of not interested" (Y/N) said, as he went back to Pamela just as security was arriving. Both making swift exits. 

"I said I love you" he repeated, this time a little louder. 

"I'll just bet he does" (Y/N) whispered into Pamela's ear as they made their exit. Going to meet up with Bane who was waiting outside. 

(Later) 

While Freeze rallied what remained of his men, the trio of Pamela, (Y/N) and Bane went to the top of GCPD. Making sure to sneak around and not be seen. And that would be hard enough with with Bane with them. 

"Quickly Bane" Pamela hurried at they arrived at the rooftop. "Hurry now" she added. (Y/N) pressed Bane's centre button, and pointed towards the bat signal. A shinning beacon for all of Gotham, was literally about to be ripped from them. Bane struggled and roared, more venom pumping through his veins. Pamela laughing as sparks literally began to fly everywhere as the bat signal was separated entirely from the GCPD. 

"Let there be light" (Y/N) remarked while looking at Pamela. 

(Timeskip)

Who would've guess that carrying a massive shining signal through a city would be difficult? Well it certainly drew attention, so much so (Y/N) had to 'convince' a driver to give up his truck. As so they could possibly transport the signal. Using some basic electronics and some help of Freeze, the new 'Robin Signal' was in the sky. 

It was for all of Gotham to see. And following it's location bird-brain would easily be lead to Ivy, and his death. Right before Freeze left for the observatory with Bane, (Y/N) made sure to remind the brute. "You know what to do" and Bane dumbly nodded. 

(Y/N) was now dressed in his Thorn attire, and simply waited. It shouldn't take long for Robin to find them. Moving into the main area with the pond and venus fly trap bed, (Y/N) saw the beauty of a true Goddess in Pamela. Her entire outfit made of nothing but leafs, hair flowing behind her, sitting atop a small throne with a love heart made out of branches. A dozen roses growing beneath her feet. 

"Wow" was all (Y/N) could say, totally mesmerised by his partner. 

"Not so bad yourself" Ivy responded looking him up and down. 

"How come you never dressed like this before?" he asked, painting his distance for his own sanity sake, and Robin could turn up at any moment. 

"A girl's gotta keep things exciting" she coyly said. "Plus, the look on your face" she added, seeing that (Y/N) had a similar expression to Bruce Wayne earlier. 

"I could just-" before he could continue with his lustful thoughts, the sound of a motorcycle could be heard from outside. "I believe that's my queue, this is it. Showtime" he said, taking refuge behind a shower of vegetation which covered their protector hiding him from sight. 

Robin entered the gardens and (Y/N) could see he was hiding something. There was something up, his expression didn't match that of a man blinded by pheromones. He made sure to watch his steps, his words played back to Ivy, not melting under her. Robin lay next to Ivy, and asked her about Freeze, her eyes for a moment looking at (Y/N) and they both knew he was faking being under her spell. Any man, including (Y/N) most likely, would pounce on Ivy if they were in Robin's position. Her near naked body pressing to his, and he didn't seem to mind. 

"One kiss, my true love" Ivy asked Robin just as he tried to pull away. "For luck" she whispered, and Robin leant in. (Y/N) watched in slight jealousy but knew it had to be done, rubbing his thumb along his right index finger he commanded a rose to burst and spray, that ever so intoxicating dust. (Y/N) saw the effects, and Ivy could feel them through Robin. As he slammed his lips into hers with renewed lust, pushing her back in her seat. He gladly opened his mouth, which Ivy barley accepted, batting her venomous tongue against his before she withdrew. Seeing the shocked expression on the young crime fighters face, his lips and veins slowly began to be coated in green. 

"Rubber......lips" he managed to choke out, as Robin fell backwards. Dead. His lifeless body falling before Poison Ivy as she stood up, having the killed the first of her enemies. 

(Y/N) emerged from the plants, both smiling at one another before walking towards the exit. Needing to take care of a Bat, and a walking talking ice pop. Right before they could however, Batman just walked in, just walked in like he was going to meet someone at a coffee shop. 

"You're not the only one who can set a-" Batman stopped himself as his eyes saw that of his dead partner, his eyes being covered in nothing but rage. "YOU!" he screamed swinging wildly at Ivy. (Y/N) fired a big spiky thorn at the swinging Bat, wanting to protect Ivy as best as he could. The spike was actually strong enough to penetrate the suit, and pinning Batman against a nearby wall. 

"Sorry, our vines have a crush on you" Ivy punned, as Batman tried to charge at her, vines wrapped around his entire body. Pinning him to the wall, as soon as his hand tried to break free, more vines would pin it down. 

(Y/N) commanded a vine to strip Bats of his trusty utility belt. "I've done my research" he smirked at the struggling, rage filled Batman. 

Both Ivy and (Y/N) walking up to Batman, both knowing they had won, there was nothing he could do. "How should we end his suffering?" Ivy asked, playfully. 

"Tsch, tsch, my dear Ivy. Don't you want to know who the Bat is?" (Y/N), the vines moving the struggling body downwards to their masters. One of Ivy's hands and one of (Y/N)'s grabbed each side of the cowl. Before they could however, the skylight above seemed to implode. 

Glass raining from above, and a figure came flipping down. Judging by the long cape, sleek eye mask and the moulded stupid looking rubber, (Y/N) thought for a second that a second Batman had appeared. Both he and Ivy turned to face the intruder, realising that wasn't the case. This Bat was defiantly a woman. The feminine curves were a dead giveaway, and the thigh high boots and heels convinced them. 

"And you are?" Ivy asked, less than impressed with the intruder. 

"I'm Batgirl" age woman told them, her eyes hard with determination. Although as she looked to (Y/N), her eyes softened for a brief moment. She wasn't trained, she was a newbie. "And you're about to become compost" she added composing herself. 

"Not likely" (Y/N) responded as both he, and Ivy sprang into action. 

The newcomer turned out to be a lot more formidable than she looked. Strong, agile, able to manage both hybrids, and a command over martial arts that (Y/N) could only dream of. Batman and Robin had been dealt with ease as they had been worn down by the pheromones and each other. This Batgirl, was fresh off the boat. 

But Ivy and (Y/N) had tricks of their own, an entire jungles worth in fact. With a gesture, Ivy sent snake like vines darting at the adversary. Unfortunately, the woman eluded them, and landed a hammer like blow to Ivy's jaw. The villainess staggered, instantly the jungle closed around her, protecting her from further harm. Seeing the peril his lover was in, (Y/N) fired several thorns at Batgirl who battered a few away, with some colliding with her armour. 

Activating his sword, and going in swinging. The use of the vegetation and plant life, seemed to put Batgirl on the defensive. Always having to watch her step, and block the swings coming her way. She raised both her gauntlets to block a swipe that was aimed directly at her head, clearly struggling to match his superior strength. Her eyes once again went from focusing on her mission, to wandering. Seeing the body of a God before her, her mind began to soften due to the cologne pheromone (Y/N) wore. Probably would've worked on that Madison woman if she stayed a bit longer. 

Batgirl broke the clash, and kicked (Y/N) back as she tried to gather her thoughts. Although with Ivy emerging from the green, (Y/N) started to press his advantage. Ivy acting commanding the green to run interference while (Y/N) went in for the kill. 

Eventually however, much like all humans Batgirl grew tired. 

(Y/N) withdrew his blade and caught an incoming his fist, while Batgirl directly in the eyes. "We don't need to fight you know" she then backed up, throwing a Batarang which a vine commanded by Ivy caught. "Why you'd call yourself Batgirl anyway?" he asked, walking forward looking her up and down. "You should call yourself Batwoman instead" he urged, with the woman finally giving in. Dropping her fists, as plant life enveloped her feet locking her in place. 

Cupping her chin, (Y/N) delivered a quick, kiss to Batgirl's lips which she gladly accepted. Although she groaned as (Y/N) pulled away, and her fingers went to her lips. Feeling the deadly toxin spreading throughout her system. She fell to her knees, beginning to cough violently. Choking from the very kiss she so welcomed. It would be painful death, but she dared to intervene with their plans. 

Ivy smirked at her lover, as he approached her. 

"You okay?" he asked with concern. "That was quite the tumble you took" he motioned to the small dome of plant life that was slowly dissipating. 

"I'll be fine love, you certainly showed her what for" Ivy laughed, placing a hand on his chest and glancing back at the dying Batgirl. "Now where were we?" as he asked. 

"I believe" he took her hand and walked her over to the still restraint, helpless Batman. "We were unmasking a ruthless vigilante who has been terrorising this poor city" he said, putting on a playful voice of sadness. 

"Poor Bat" Ivy said, both of them once again reaching out to a side of his cowl. "Don't you know? In the battle of man vs nature, Nature Always WINS!" she exclaimed, both ripping the cowl clean off being met with surprise. 

Batman, the Dark Knight, Caped Crusader, World's Greatest Detective, Defender of Gotham

Was one other than 

Bruce Wayne 

Both plant hybrids looked at each other surprised, although everything started to fall into place in their minds.  

"The toys, the money, the resistance, knowledge of the city it all makes sense" (Y/N) whispered to himself, rubbing his chin. "He's used his company to finance his crime fighting days" (Y/N) said to Ivy who understood. 

"You'd rather save this pathetic city, rather than save the Earth? Disgraceful Mr Wayne" she said, tracing the Bat symbol on the chest. "Now, you can suffer" she said, wanting to move to kiss him, although (Y/N) stopped her. Ivy giving her partner a puzzled look. 

"He didn't use  his company for good. But we can" he summarised, with Ivy catching onto his train of thought. 

"Both of you are mad!" the Bat screeched as more vines moved to cover his body. 

"Mad? No, we're committed" Ivy spat back. "Which is more than you were to your dear Madison", roses sprouted around Bruce, which would soon spurt out pheromone dust. Cementing their control over the billionaire. 

"We still have" (Y/N) turned to Ivy. "One more, loose end", causing her to smirk evilly. 

(Later at the Observatory)

"Let's kick some ice!" Freeze exclaimed as everything was in place for him to begin freezing the city. His device was in place, the diamonds had been adjusted, and now his weapon was prepared to fire. Only right before he could, someone appeared behind him.

"GGRRRRR!" Bane roared, grabbing Freeze's shoulder and throwing him backwards. Freeze was sent flying, colliding with a wall and looked up at Bane who was approaching him. 

"What is wrong with you? You oaf!" Freeze yelled, looking down and seeing that his suit was leaking liquid nitrogen. Bane continued to march towards Freeze, swinging his muscled fists wildly at the snowman. Freeze could only back up, his cold gun was hooked up to the telescope and so he was defenceless. 

Freeze hit Bane in the chest, although it did little to nothing. With every movement Freeze made, it caused his suit to leak more and more. There was nothing he could except try and wait for an opening, although time was not on his side. As Freeze backed up yet again, he felt something penetrate the glass on his right leg. He looked down to see that a sharp thorn had hit him, looking to the elevator to see the lovely couple. Both leaning on each other and smirking at Freeze. 

"You!" he struggled to point, avoiding another blow from Bane. "You betrayed me" his voice echoed throughout the room. 

"What can we say?" Ivy said stepping forward. "You did take that pretty little diamond from me" she giggled, calling back to the night they first met. Freeze didn't have time to respond, as Bane grabbed Freeze's shoulders and threw down to the lower level. As Freeze crashed to the ground a mass amount of sparks erupted, as his suit lost power. The iceman's face slowly loosing colour as he took off his head piece, with (Y/N) and Ivy moving over to the dying man, looking down at him. 

"You-you betrayed-" before he could finish (Y/N) him off. 

"Yes we did you can shut up about it" he blabbed getting sick of Freeze who took in deep breaths, warmth flooding his lungs. "But what did you expect? Adam and Eve didn't exactly have the abominable snowman with them" he spat. Freeze tried to click something on his suit, although a hypersonic noise was made, nothing happened. Causing Freeze even more agony. "Bane made sure any back up plan you would fail" he finished. 

"Sorry Freeze, but look on the bright side" Ivy said as she saw the life drain from his eyes. "You'll be reunited with your wife soon enough" she finished, with Victor Fries, now dead where he lay. 

(Y/N) couldn't help but smile sinisterly. Moving to look out over the city, "It's hard to believe two normal citizens managed to stop Mr Freeze is it not?" he asked playfully. 

"Yes" she agreed. "The People of Gotham will see us heroes".

"And with Mr Wayne stepping down from his company to pursue his mental health. He'll appoint two new CEO's. And then.......

Gotham Will be Ours for The Greening
