Someone Got a Super Talk.

[acro_bat_ic]

Stupid Supers and their pep-talks. We are not going to "fix" Ivy, dude. Forget what Superman said. We don't even know where Pam is! I mean, it's not like Red's gonna mysteriously pop up in our game...

...Of course I miss her! She was my best friend. But she tried to replace me with a plant! Not to mention pops - which was totally uncool. I mean, just because I didn't want to join her against Gotham....

Of course I still care about the environment. I just don't have as much time for protests. I mean, it's hard enough blowing off gymnastics without pops finding out about crime fighting.

It's not the same without her, anyway.

Gene cleanser. It doesn't help with the crazy, but it does help with the horrific mutation. Y'know, unless they do the stupid thing and re-expose themselves to the mutagen.

[acro_bat_ic]

The toxic fertilizer? I don't think that's getting a repeat.

...Pretty sure I'm fresh out of cleansers, though.

[alexisluthor]

[Superman? That got her attention.]

Oh? You having a problem with a friend?

[acro_bat_ic]

Of the crazy plant variety.

[alexisluthor]

That's a shame. I hope things get better between you.

[ichoosefight]

My mun seems pretty certain she won't show up for real. [ Cast limits, and all that. ] But I don't think it's impossible. For her to be changed back, I mean.

[acro_bat_ic]

...She'd need to stop replacing me with a plant.

[acro_bat_ic]

[Yeah. There is that. :|]

...I miss her. Sometimes.

[ichoosefight]

You know, honestly?

It doesn't sound like she was a very good friend to begin with.

[changedbywar]

Yeah. Ivy has to want to be fixed, the most you can do is de-power her and if powers alone corrupted people, Supes wouldn't be the guy he is now.

[acro_bat_ic]

Well, she wasn't exactly pure before...

But at least she wasn't kidnapping people.

[acro_bat_ic]

What? No. She was... [She hesitates, biting her lips.]

She cared. I think...

[ichoosefight]

She kept secrets from you that nearly got you arrested, didn't she?

[alexisluthor]

Hey, maybe you have to extend the olive branch first. No pun intended.

[acro_bat_ic]

Nooo? [She crosses her arms.]

I was the one who broke the case. [And tried to stop her. About the same time as the mercenary realized his payments weren't going through, and batman got involved to track him down...

The only trouble Babs got in was a glare from her dad.]

[acro_bat_ic]

You think she'd take it?

[ichoosefight]

I thought you said she took you along to case the place.

[alexisluthor]

Never know until you try!

[acro_bat_ic]

She took me to protest.

...She just. [Babs glances away, eyes closing faintly.] Cased it while we were there.

[acro_bat_ic]

Maybe... But I won't join her.

[alexisluthor]

Then be aggressive and make her join you! Keep it up long enough and something's bound to give!

[acro_bat_ic]

Just hope it's not me...

She could have been a hero.

[alexisluthor]

Lemme guess...Superman said something along the lines of "she still can be, with the proper guidance."

[ichoosefight]

Don't you think a friend would have told you what they were up to? I know it hurts, but sometimes people aren't who you think they are.

[acro_bat_ic]

More like fried stick together.

But... pretty much.

[acro_bat_ic]

Tell the police commissioner's daughter?

...I thought I could stop her.

[ichoosefight]

Tell a friend. She obviously didn't trust you or value your opinion.

[acro_bat_ic]

So we've... got a few kinks to work out. I still can't just abandon her.

[ichoosefight]

You didn't. The Pam you know? That's not Poison Ivy. If you think of her like that she is going to kill you.

[acro_bat_ic]

It's the same person. Just... a little nuttier.

[ichoosefight]

Maybe your friend is in there somewhere, but Poison Ivy is a killer.

[acro_bat_ic]

She never killed anyone.

[A small pause.]

...Except... when she tried to feed pops to a plant...

[Even her attempt to replace everyone in Gotham, though, only sent the originals in stasis - a very happy stasis where they spent all their time oohing and ahhing over flowers in a mystical wonderland.]

[ichoosefight]

That may not last forever. Especially as her powers develop.

[acro_bat_ic]

Then we'll stop her first.

I won't just abandon her, Steph...

[ichoosefight]

Then... just think of her as two different people. Poison Ivy is keeping Pamela hostage. And don't let her get under your skin. I'm serious.

[acro_bat_ic]

Well, I'm not going t leave her hostage, either. So... there. [Weak much? But she doesn't know what else to say.]

oops here i am ruining everything oops oooooops

[stabbers_conspiracy]

Someone in a mask and a cape who can fully realize that they cannot 'fix' another person.

Quite a refreshing idea.

Hah. >,>

[acro_bat_ic]

Is that supposed to mean something?

[ichoosefight]

Good enough for me.

[acro_bat_ic]

Maybe one day she'll join the army of batgirls.

[ichoosefight]

Only if she lives long enough. I'm a good ten years ahead of you and I've already got a protege picked out.

[acro_bat_ic]

Really?

[ichoosefight]

You'd like Nell, she's a good kid.

[acro_bat_ic]

Nell, huh? Do I get to meet her?

[She thinks replacing Batman and Robin with a Batgirl Army is an awesome idea, thank you very much. See how he likes being left out.]


ooc: This is what happens when she talks to herself in D_M threads.)

[ichoosefight]

Maybe in a couple of decades.

[acro_bat_ic]

We could totally time jump her.

[ichoosefight]

Oh, that's in the plans. Some day. There's this girl named Bette who was basically Batgirl if you don't count the hyphen. Some day we should all go on a mission together. Like that one time with the Robins.

[ Her mun sometimes shares her comics. Brave and the Bold #13. Worth every penny. ]

[acro_bat_ic]

We could trump Batman...
