Bruce hated the idea of letting her go, not only because he was losing the closeness to the villainess at his homestead, but also because he was actually enjoying being in her company. Still he had other guests to mingle with, and so when the most recent song did so he did just that for a few moments, until silence fell over the room and the lights dimmed. It was time for the presentation of what changes were going to be made to Gotham Park. He stood near the back as he saw the same man up on the podium that had taken Poison Ivy away from him, the same one she had come in with.<br/><br/>The gears in Bruce's head began to grind and turn as he watched the amazing presentation, looking at all the wonderful changes that were to take place. Still he was leery of the true intentions. If Poison Ivy was with this man, then there was a very large chance that she was influencing him in some manner, and that in and of itself was not a good thing. As he watched the presentation he recognized some of the plant life from the sketches, they were similar to plants that he had seen in his last meeting with Poison Ivy as Batman. He knew that there was a larger plot working here, and this was not good, not at all.<br/><br/>Then the plants were brought in, all in pots, some of the very same ones he had seen. The ones that had caused him to hallucinate, and a twinkle of fear appeared in Bruce's eyes. He knew he needed to put a stop to this immediately before this party suddenly became a fright fest. Quickly he approached the podium, where the microphone was set up. He thought as quickly as he could, from a business perspective, and spoke as calmly as he possibly could. "I am deeply sorry, but I have allergies to exotic plants, I was not informed they would be here, and I am going to demand that you escort them out immediately." His tone was commanding without trying to sound like a complete asshole. "As far as the plants going in Gotham Park, please keep in mind they will have to pass inspections, and anything too exotic is more than likely going to violate codes. I want to see improvements as much as anyone, but we must keep things within the law and do them correctly."<br/><br/>He knew that he was likely going to draw the ire of Pamela, and he might very well have given away his secret identity, though nothing he said would have done so directly. It could have made her more suspicious at the very least, but he wouldn't know until the next time he talked with her. He watched as the men with plants listened, though there were opportunities on the way out for the plants to do their damage, at least in some part, and while he knew what some did, he didn't know the effect others would have. He went to find Alfred, he needed to warn him that things were potentially going to be bad soon. It took a while to find him, the crowd was in a state of disbelief at what Bruce had just said, but his neurotic actions in public were nothing new.
