Gotham City

NightWing

I looked down at the party already starting "well creeps, what do you think, should we join the party?" i looked over at him but he had jumped off infront of me "ok then" i said jumping opening my arms gliding down, i dove onto Catwoman almost 'hugging' her so that one, i could hold her down, and two, well two...we will leave that be for now. I looked back and Creeps was already trying to hold down Ivy. "so cats, hows it been goen?" i said with a little grin, "been awhile"
 
CatWoman

Oh, this was just too much. Here I was trying to get NightWings buddy out of a scrap and I was getting taken down. Well...I hadnt started out to help Bats but right now I was trying to keep him from getting the kiss of death from Mother Nature and what I didnt need was more men to muck up the picture.

I smile slyly at him and said,"Amazing what a girl has to do to get a little attention. But right now, I think you need some attention of your own." With that I planted a knee in his abdomen and push forward so he flew into one of Ivy's plants that was climbing up the building. It immediately wrapped itself around him and started squeezing.

"Well, guys," I said,"Time for me to go back on the prowl. This kitty is definately not a house cat-especially when the house is Arkum."

I stopped to scoop up my mewling friends-the ones I had gotten into this mess for in the first place and put them back in the pouch. It costs me precious seconds but I couldnt just leave them. It sucks to have a weakness.
 
NightWing

The kick was bad, but she kicked me into the vines, i thought we had a thing going...but that was awhile ago, new times...i quickly pressed a button on my built before the vines closed all the way and broke the vines, "na ah ah, i don't think so" i ran after her, but she had a head start. I jumped and glided swiftly after her.
 
CatWoman

Damn! What is it about the men in my life that brings out the worst in me? I had to start seeing a new crowd.

"Sorry, Sweets," I purred to him,"But not this time. I have an appointment to keep with a grinning jester. Not that it hasnt been fun but..."

Slinging the pack over my shoulder, I grabbed the ladder at the side of the building and slide down, the friction burning into my gloved hands.

I came to a stop and dropped the short way down to the alley. Turning around, I went to blow a good bye kiss to my pursuer but he was nowhere to be found.

Damn! I thought again. He is a slippery as Batman. Now where did he go?
 
NightWing

I smiled as i dropped strait down infront of CatWomen, "we got to stop meeting in these acward situations" i said as grabbed the bag out of her hands. and put my arm around her to hold her, but i didn't think this would work for that long...
 
CatWoman

I sighed. Fighting him wasnt getting me anywhere-for now. Lets try turning on the charm.

"Look, it's not what you think," I said as I stopped struggling as he held me,"Look in the bag-no gem. Joker has your precious jewel, not me. I exchanged it for four lives. Now, neither you nor Batman can blame me for that can you?"

Looking at me suspiciously, he used one hand to open the bag and four furry faces, a little shook up but no worse for wear, peered up at him. I put on my best innocent face and looked up at him.

"See, I had to do it. I had no choice."
 
NightWing

I looked at her again "i know you better than that...you still got the gem, you don't deal with scum like the joker" i said as i kept the bag open so the kittens would get air. I made sure i had a firm grip around her waist so she couldn't get free.
 
CatWoman

Well, I had tried nice and it had failed. Now it was time to go back to the old CatWoman.

Reaching up and hooking my hands around his neck, I bent and flipped him over my head so that he fell onto the ground in the alleyway.

"Sorry, Darlin, but I just cant stick around to argue the point," Throwing him a kiss, I took to my heels and disappeared around the corner. I knew my furry friends would be okay with NightWing. He would find them good homes. Weird how I could trust my enemies more than any friends I had. Humph...friends! Like I could call anyone that in my line of work. Oh well, I was who I was and there was no turning back.

I had to get to hiding and let the CatWoman lie low for awhile. Problem was, almost everyone knew that Selena Kyle and Catwoman were one and the same so she would have to dissapear for a bit also.

After they stopped looking for me I would go uncover the real gem. A smile spread across my face as I pictured the Joker finding out I had switched the emerald for fake. Harley should be feeling his wrath right about now.
 
NightWing

I watched her run off, damn why did we have to be enemies...i thought to myself for a min then looked at the kittens, "well...looks like you guys need a home" i thought i should check up on the others first. I hit a button and my motercycle pulled up almost out of nowhere. I opened the compartment in the back and set the kittens in it, and i speed off, i thought again then...no they would be fine...i had other things to do anyways...night was almost day...
 
What little jewels and things they had snatched were merely trinkets, nothing compared to the safe they had gotten out. He let his men have whatever they wanted. What was in the safe was more important to him.
"Blow it."
The explosion rocked the emtpy warehouse (like i'm stupid enough to say which warehouse... it's abandoned, that's all your getting from me). A window on the upper floor shattered.
Two-Face took off his mask, and walked over to the smoking safe.
"You sure it hasn't broken whatever is inside there?"
Two-Face gave a slight smile, although no one would notice from his complexion.
"If it broken, then I'll do the same to every bone in your body."
He looked inside, it stared back at him through the misty smoke.
Two-Face took it out, staring at it admiringly.
"What is it boss?"
"The end of Batman," he said simply, walking towards his office.
 
The Creeper

"Heellloooo Nuuurrrrssseee!!!" I yell out as I take a good look over the seductive Poison Ivy. The girl sure did have it in all the right places. My eyes zoom over her skin tight green costume that clinged to her body like a second skin. Her red hair only helped to make her look even more erotic in appearance.

"Tell me toots," I ask her as I begin to lean on her shoulder, "Do they have to pour you into the bathing suit? And another thing, is it hot in here? Or is it just little sexy old you?" Ivy responds to my come ons with a quick slap to the face which is followed by a swift kick to abdomen.

Taking a few steps back as I hold my side in pain, I'm taken by surprise as the plants vines whip around my arms and legs. Before I can even react, I'm lifted into the air by my green attackers. So much for the loving touch of mother nature. The plants flip me around so that I'm hanging from my feet. They move so that my head is leveled with Poison Ivys as I'm held securly in place.

"Does this mean I'm not gonna get laid?" I ask her with that goofy grin across my face. Bet things like this never ever happened to guys like Superman, Captain America, Green Lantern and... and... and Underdog!
 
Batman

Snapping out of Ivy's trance, I see Creeper hanging upside down in front of her. Grabbing a batarang, I throw it slicing through the vine causing Creeper to land on his back with a loud thud. As the batarang returns, I catch it with my left hand as I throw a bolo at Ivy with my right. Leaning down I see that Creeper is fine I put my rebreather on again so the pheromones won't affect me as I try to figure out what to do with Ivy.

"Sir, there was an explosion on the other side of town, a jewelry store to be exact." Alfred radioed to me. "Damn what is going on tonight?" I ask myself. "Any news on whom hit it, or what happened there?" I ask. "No sir, nothing it was a clean break. No video footage or anything." Alfred replied. "Okay, it's getting late I am heading in. We will run what info we have through the batcomputer when I get back." I reply grabbing Ivy and leave her hanging from the fire escape. I hop into the batmobile and head back towards the batcave.
 
The Joker

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" I shouted, my lips hardly up into a smile, "she double-crossed me?"

"Um, triple-crossed, boss, you were double-" Lar began, just before he got knocked against the far wall by my trademarked, patent-pending Boxing-glove gun.

Harley stood nearby looking worried. "Sorry Puddin', it's a fake, a forgery... a sham... a counterfeit..."

"Broken record! Broken record!" I cried out at the ceiling of our real hideout, clasping my hands to my ears.
 
IVY, the VERY POISON IVY

(OOC. I can't post as fast as some of you, so If you don't mind, please place me so I don't just get forgotten...thank you...kisses)
http://a444.g.akamaitech.net/7/444/25/5b52044188e330/www.batmantas.com/img/ivy5.jpg

MMM... unexpected visitors, the Lean Mean Bat Machine, Creeper, the delectable side-kick and Catwoman...Ivy wants to play...and exterminate the cat.

The sly Creeper leans upon me, I look at him, slightly annoyed. I raise my eyebrows seductively. "mmmm..." Tasty distraction. While Batty is still recovering and Nightwing is losing a game of cat and mouse, I decide to do some gardening of my own, getting rid of the pesky weeds of Gotham.


Vines wrapped around his feet and slung up upwards, like a big bully fishing for some change. His face was level with mine. "Poor boy is achin for trouble? How's about a kiss?"
I licked my lips seductively. Suddenly he was dropped to the ground. I sneered, Batman. He was out of my spell. I felt myself quickly being picked up by Batman and placed discretly on the fire escape. On my way out I blew a kiss to Creeper, a small heart of green mist flew his way and intoxicated his mind. I could see my struggling was doing no good, so I slipped a small green leaf onto batty's collar. Mother nature could be so clever.

I struggled. My grip was failing. A vine wrapped around my arm and pulled me up. I laughed manically. Quickly a web of vines formed below the fire escape. I jumped and landed inside it. I heard the thud of footsteps behind me, I was being followed

"Boys, are we ready for phase two?"
The men nodded. They each got into the helicopter. Two-Face got into the front seat, looking around at the city. A nice quiet night, perfect for a robbery.
They sliced into the cold night easily enough. Two-Face couldn't believe how late it was, sunrise would be here soon enough. He had one piece of the plan, and was getting the other, but the third would have to wait until tomorrow night.
He hated having to wait, but patience is a virtue, besides, the coin decided long ago.
"That one boss?" he pointed to Gotham's medical building. Two-Face nodded and they touched down within minutes.
The door blasted open. An elevator was waiting for them. The men went inside, pressing for the 23rd floor.
"Why 23 boss?"
"It's in the blood boys."
His grin looked crueler than it should have, his face peeled and twisted back into a perversion of horror. He couldn't help but laugh at the men's faces.
Inside there were tons of vats, all of them being kept cold. Each one had a name on them, names, identifications, and the like. Each to describe to this city exactly who and what they were.
"Plant the bomb," he spat, grabbing the console for the main computer. He quickly put in a disk, giving the computer it's order.
"How much longer boss?"
The alarm sounded .Two-Face looked at the download time, less than a minute. He really did love supercomputers.
It was done.
"Let's go boys."
He took out the disk, walking back to the elevator. The bomb would explode soon enough, causing chaos for the next few days. The doctors would soon have everything back to normal again, no harm done.
He held the disk tightly in his deformed hand. The helicopter took off just as the explosion ripped through the building.
(I missed my calling, I should have been an evil genious... damnit)
 
OOC: Like LG, I usually only get time to write late at night for a couple of hours, so please forgive my sporadic postings!

IC:
Harley Quinn

"Oh Puddin'!" I wailed, ducking quickly to avoid a smack in the head. It was true that sometimes I simply could not stop myself from reiterating a point.

I timidly stepped out of the line of the Joker's fire and half listened to him rant on about the Cat chick.

I'm just gonna hafta go and teach that little Moggy a lesson myself! No one makes a fool outta MY Mister J!

With a grin upon my lips and quiet 'come-hither' whistle to the boys (Bud n Lou), I snatched up my favorite disguise (a black trench coat!) and scurried out the door.
 
The Creeper

Once that green stuff had made it's way to me, I suddenly felt the strong feeling to follow Ivy. I didn't know what had suddenly gotten into me. And to be honest, I simply didn't realy care either at that time.

Running after Poison Ivy, I take a quick leap into the air in an attempt to catch up with her. Flipping through the air, I am able to land infront of Ivy to cut off her path. Giving her a wide grin, I asked her "Hey there hot stuff. Did you miss me as much as I missed you?" Her answer to this was a quick punch to the face that knocked me flat on my back.

Laying there with the birds flying around my head, I look up at the lovely figure before me. Something was drawing me to keep taking this abuse as long as it meant I'd be around her. Despite that possibility of ending up in the hospital afterwards.

Shaking things off, I bounced right back onto my feet and stand infront of Ivy with that same silly grin. "It's ok babe, I like the rough stuff." I tell her as quickly wrap my arms around her in a hug. I had no idea what had gotten into me, but I was starting to like the results. And atleast this way she couldn't punch me in the face anymore. Although, I was starting to realy get used to that...
 
Catwoman

Well, I couldnt go back to my apartment, no telling who I would meet there. I would have to use Plan B. Everyone should have a Plan B especially if you dealt with the characters that I did on a daily basis. As I walked, I mentally made a note of who would had tried to kill or capture me tonight...lets see, Joker and his crew, Batman, NightWing, Poison Ivy-wow, four people in one night. I supposed I should count Joker's people for three more but I doubted they had one brain among the whole lot. And Creeper seemed to be entranced with our Mother Nature.

I sighed, I really knew how to make enemies. Which is why I was in the predicament I was in at the moment. I should probably give up Gotham City totally but where else could you find night life as stimulating as this?

Reaching into my belt pack, I extracted a folded raincoat-one of those that you could throw away once you were done with them. Slipping it over my costume, I removed my mask and let my blonde hair fall around my face.

I hurried to the Gotham City Bus Station and to a certain locker that I had the key to. A quick twist of the key and I had access to the suitcase inside.

I opened the suitcase in one of the bathroom stalls. It contained all I would need to make my way out of Gotham and trouble for a bit-changes of clothing, money, everything.

When I exited the bathroom, I had stashed her suit in the suitcase and was wearing a skirt, blouse and jacket. I looked like a respectable woman on a business trip.

Going to the ticket counter, I purchased a ticket for a place just out of Gotham. I had a time share thing going on a condo just on the edge of the city. A perfect place to get away until the heat was off and I could come back and recover the Tiger's Eye. I got her ticket and looked at the clock. My bus would leave in two hours. I hated to wait but I doubted I would run into either NightWing or Batman since the sun was on the rise at the moment. Time for all good night lovers to go indoors.
 
The Joker

My temper-tantrum was slowly winding down.

"We could go grab some more kitties for ya boss" said Lar.

"Repeat a joke? Me?" I said, waving the gun in his direction. As he dropped to the floor, I paused, and laughed.

"The first rule of comedy - never repeat a joke, unless you can make it a bigger better one! Ain't that right pumpkin?" I said, turning.

"Harley?" I said, glancing around.

"Er, she left a while ago boss" said Lar from the floor, peeking out from behind his hands.

"Aw... and I thought she might like a trip to the zoo, too" I sighed, then laughed.

"Zoo, boss?" Cur commented, scratching his head. Maybe I could drop them off in the gorilla cages, they'd go unnoticed for weeks.

"Where else can you get bigger, better kitties?" I said, glaring at him, then burst out into laughter.
 
Batman

(OOC: I hope Batman still has all his nifty toys, if not let me know and I will edit if I add one he doesn't have. Yes Pooh, you missed your calling. Gotta work on my detective skills more. :) )

Sitting in front of the computer I begin entering information about the nights events. As I was searching for information on what the jewelry store had, a report came in on an explosion at the Gotham Medical Center. "Floor 23 containing blood of various people in the city, was the target of the attack." the computer replied in a female voice. "This doesn't add up, could these crime scenes be related?" I ask out loud. "Both had an explosive device used to remove any trace of evidence of what was taken. Who or what could be smart enough, to pull off stunts like that? On one side you have pure genius, on the other destruction." I think to myself. "That's it. TWOFACE!" I exclaim. "But what does he gain by hitting these two places? Is there anything else he is going after?" Asking questions out loud, hoping something will click.
 
Poison

The green caper (I rememeber him having green hair...and caper is not a typo, hey ren, what does your guy look like?) was sly and slick. I decked him but he came back for more. I cocked my head in amusement. His one liners were definately amusing me.

Then he hugged me, "Better watch it or you may get poisoned." my words said in a deep seductive voice. A voice I had grown accustomed to using.

I used a vine to crawl up his leg, I raised my eyebrows, pouted my lips, and as the vine crossed and went over his nicely formed backside, he grinned at me, a cheesy smile. I batted my eyelashes as I ran my tounge along my teeth.

Instantly I had the vines around his arms and they pulled me free. I pouted for a moment, sort of missing the warmth.

"Tsk, tsk...didn't your mother ever warn you about girls like me?" I brought my face close to his, my lips centimeters from his, the warmth of his breathe could be felt. I blew out a small warm breath, the pale green mist gracefully flowing from my mouth to his.

The Joker

"Can I help you?" asked the portly security guard, as I walked up to the zoo's gate.

"Probably not" I said, "we're looking to kidnap... or is that catnap?... a white siberian tiger, and I heard this was the place to go" I said, stepping into the light of the guard's booth, "or so the television adverts have said."

"Oh g-g-g-" he stammered, turning pale as he recognised me, his eyes fixating on the barrel of the gun I was pointing at him.

"That's j-j-j" I grinned, "as in Joker."

Moments later, he was slumped back in the booth's chair, a much more pleasant grin on his face. So much for the night watchman.

"Okay boys, time to go shopping for a nice new tigerskin rug" I laughed, reaching into the booth and plucking the keys from the guard's belt.

Soon we were in the zoo, Lar driving the 'Mr Happy's ice-cream van' close behind us, which held the intended cage.

"Hiya little Oswalds!" I waved cheerily down to the penguins as I passed their enclosure, shortly before locating the chosen target. Just over one sedative dart later, I had my this time not-so-little cat bait.

The videotape - carefully screened so as to not leave any clues to where it had been filmed - I left behind with the stuffed white tiger toy in the cage would soon be found by the Gotham Gazette, with a helpful, not-so anonymous, tipoff, and Catwoman would be reading about my catnapping soon.

"The cat's in the bag, boys. Lets go" I grinned.

OOC: Quick note for Lava - I've put some Creeper background info and a pic in the OOC thread for you.

Catwoman

I opened the door to my apartment. I had not thought to be back in Gotham for quite a long time but it seems my plans had been changed due to interferance again from a green haired maniac.

I threw my suitcase down on my bed and left, not even bothering to unpack it except for taking out my Catwoman suit. I was going to have to bite the bullet and get some help on this one-if I could count on a certain handsome guy in a black suit to show up.

I had put the word out to some contacts that Salena Kyle was back in town and I knew that word would find him and he would be on the outlook for Catwoman. Slipping the last of my suit over my head, I sighed. I just hoped he would listen to reason before grabbing me and throwing me back into Arkum. I dont know...I had pretty much pissed him off a few nights ago.

Slipping my hood on, I sighed again. Well, here goes nothing! And I was off to the rooftops again.
 
The Creeper

My eyes widen in surprise at the sudden sensation of the green mist invading my mouth. The last bit of my somewhat rational mind trying to fight back as it clouded my thoughts. Poison Ivy kept me firmly in place as the last of the green mist made it's way from her mouth to my own. Feeling the last of my will power slowly fade away, I stop struggle to get myself free from the vines that held me in place. Once the last of my free will is gone, the vines release me from their tight grip.

Falling down onto my hands and knees before Poison Ivy, I try to get a grip on myself. As the last of my free will leaves, I bound back to my feet with that same old grin over my face. "I love you!" I yell out as I try to run back to her in hopes of another hug... or more. A vine around my waist kept me just out of arms reach from Ivy as she smiled back, obviously amused by my attempts at to reach her.

After a couple of minutes of this, it finaly sinks into my thick skull that I'm probably not gonna reach her at this rate. Finaly stopping my advance, I ask her "So babe, your place or mine? I'm up to doing whatever it is you want."

Even though what I had in mind was probably different from what she would want to do, the green mist had caused me to feel the sudden need to try my best to make her happy. Well, I could think of far worse ways to spend my night on the town...
 
Night time had fallen again, and along with that, the final phase in his plans.
This one would be the keeper, he really didn't need it, and everyone knew it, but in a game of chess you always set up your pieces before you go in for the kill.
Wayne Industries, home of one, if not many supercomputers. The back was completely deserted. A black and white van backed up to one of the entrances, and two of his goons came out.
They were dressed as security guards. Two-Face has been planning this for months, getting them security jobs at the builing, and then both of them having night shift. It was beautiful, no evidence, no cameras since all were "disposed" of, and best of all no way to link it to the other two crimes.
(damn, I'm good, if it wasn't for the fact that Batman has to win, I would swear Two face finally had him)
The supercomputer, along with console and a few other trinkets loaded up into the truck.
They drove off, making sure to stay just below the speed limit. Soon they were back at the warehouse.
"Set it up boys."
An hour later, (hired help... go figure) the computer was stashed away in the back of the warehouse. Two-Face went in and uploaded the disk. Now, for the final instrument.
"What is this all for boss?"
Two-Face sighed, heaving heavily.
"Batman wears a mask. By night he scours the city in search of criminals to capture, but during the day he is a regular person. Two faces covering the same man. One face concealing the other... this face."
He took the Bat mask out of the plastic bag. The one from the safe, that would have been auctioned off for millions was now in his own custody.
"This mask is Batman's face, inside there is sweat, hair and even skin. That isn't from Batman's face, it's from the man underneath. With this equipment, we will finally find out who Batman is."
An evil smile came to his lips, "Boys, let's take off the face of Batman."
The computer began scanning the mask. Two-Face had them padlock the steel doors. In a little less than (oh let's give him some time to figure all this out) four hours, the identity of Batman would be his.
