There was a certain satisfaction that came from the look on the red head's face as he twisted her arm. Still he had not meant to hurt her, but she had not given him much choice, she had to be stopped. The sudden tug on his arm as something wrapped around it, a vine as he noticed was a shock to Batman. It seemed they were in a game of cat and mouse, they each had the other, her vine had wrenched his arm uncomfortably, and he winced in reaction to it, but he had been subjected to pain before this wasn't going to stop him immediately.<br/>

The scorn and hate that filled her voice, the no longer sweet and seductive tone it replaced spilled out words with threats that flung at him like needles. It was clear that some things were correct though, he had no idea what he was up against, he didn't even clearly know who she was. The fact that the vines were hers to command upped the game a bit, and would cause him to rethink his strategy. Again though she had pressed her figure up against his, their lips just inches apart as he could smell the pheromones seeping into his body. They sent signals of lust to his brain, amongst other things. Still he unwavered for the time being, not willing to relent just yet.<br/>

"I have no interest in making you blossom or joining some crusade you have against this city." He meant his words, but at the same time the first part was becoming a lie. She was starting to have an effect on him, and her leg that was pressed against his thigh, combined with the hand that was now cradled on the back of his neck brought feelings of desire to him. "I am afraid you have me at the disadvantage of not knowing who you are." His grip on her wrist loosened as his body began to relax slightly, enough she might even be able to free herself from his grip.<br/>

He tried hard to shake the cobwebs from his head, it was becoming extremely difficult to focus on his purpose for being there. Her proximity was just too intoxicating. His arm was in a compromised position behind his back, and he didn't know what would happen if he fought against her. Still something had to be done, this hypnotic mind control had to be countered. Whether she had freed her grip or not in the time he had given her Batman took that hand and shoved the red head back, his hand reaching her chest to do so as he went to take a few steps backward in the process, unaware of what was behind him.<br/>
