Guerre:</strong>Poison Ivy<br/><strong>Affiliation:</strong>The Green<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Saturday Octover 17, 2015 | 2011 Hours<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Gotham Central Bank<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Booster Gold,  Red Hood,  Aquaman,  Miss Martian,  Maggie Sawyer,  White Canary<br/><hr/><br/><em>"Give it your best shot, Captain."</em>Ivy replied to Maggie's demands.<br/><br/><em>The Gotham City Police Department had no idea.  They were simply the churning mechanisms of society's design kept complacent and issued out false authority over another.  Some abused that power while others did not, just like anything else.  They were the reactionary vanguards of defense and justice for the common man always willing to throw their lives on the line for strangers yet they never had a single idea.  This was not going to become another statistic where Ivy ends up in cuffs only to be thrown back into Arkham.  This time, there were stakes.  Stakes she could not afford to lose.<br/><br/><em>How long has it been</em>, she asked herself.  <em>How long since I made an appearance?</em>  The answer was years.  The world probably assumed she finally dropped the criminal activity in wake of Darkseid's invasion but that was so far from the truth.  The truth was her discovery of something greater than herself.  Something that affected the entire world - the entire global ecosystem.  Ivy became a guardian for The Green, an elemental force that connects all plant-life to an ethereal realm within the collective conscious of the Parliament of Trees.  They police had no idea that her ecoterrorism was benefitting the world, not harming it.  Humanity came second and they always seemed so eager to reduce the plant-life constructing industrialized parks and buildings so why should she not seem eager to reduce the human population in return?<br/><br/>Apathy.  It wasn't a known fact to all but a few of the Bat Family that Ivy suffered from seasonal affective disorder, a mental condition that causes her emotions to change with the seasons;  in Autumn, it was Apathy.  The season marking the return of Winter where plant life withered away and died so it can be born anew.  Why care?  It was natural.  However, that was why she was here, robbing a bank.  What would an ecoterrorist need with money?  Things had to be done;  things had to be saw too.  Things needed to be built and plans needed to be put into motion.  She needed green to protect The Green this time.  This was a threat she could not face alone.</em><br/><br/>Gunshot fire echoed in repetition from Ivy's henchmen, snapping her back to realization and focus.  That's right,  the police had threatened them.  'Stand down or they'll open fire', they said.  How laughable.  They must've forgotten how much of a threat she really is.  They must've forgotten she brought down an entire skyscraper with just vines.  It was time for a reminder.  As the police were hunkering down behind their cars or other means of coverage from gunfire, Ivy raised her hand and held it straight forward.  Two large vines untangled from the mass around the bank and whipped forward within the blink of an eye, colliding against two patrol cars.  Each lifted off the tires and were sent flying, leaving a contrail of shattered glass and shrapnel in it's path;  the officers that took cover behind it were knocked over with minor pains.<br/><br/>One of the thrown vehicles made impact with an unseen force, stopping its collision with the adjacent building.  An apathetic glance shifted to see a face she didn't recall, adorned in a tight-fitting uniform of gold and blue.  He must be new to the scene and unaware of what she could really do and he seemed exploitable.  Just before she was able to analyze further, gunfire shot out from above and one of her henchmen dropped with a scream.  The bullets that riddled the concrete near her did make her flinch but not peel back;  she stood her ground with no display of concern at the henchman clutching his shoulder in agonizing pain.  This small distraction allowed Booster to sever one of the vines she was directly controlling as well.  Once Red Hood dropped down to ground level, her eyes set on him unaware that another had made an entrance as well, circumventing more destruction with the hurled cars.<br/><br/><em>"I was wondering when someone competent was showing up.  This should provide more entertainment now,"</em>Ivy stated, speaking with no emotion in tone before replying to Booster Gold.<br/><em>"Know that by taking me down, you doom this city.  It will be you who stops because I will not let them win."</em><br/><br/>No sooner after stating this, Aquaman stepped up next to them and revealed the source of numbing pain she felt when another vine was severed.  The heroes were arrives in droves.  That just made this easier.  It was time for the first of what would become a series of surprises.  The largest vine abruptly emerged from behind the three men and was in the process of whipping itself around for a strike but the next hero emerged to become entangled by it instead.  Then it was thrown back at her feet.<br/><br/>Ivy's four goons dropped their bags and made a break for it only to be ambushed by a fifth hero in white.  Ivy, once again, did not seem to care.  While the heroes were making plans on how to best handle her, she stared at the slowly dying, writhing vine at her feet.  Slowly, she kneeled down and pressed her hand against it, making soft and tender motherly sounds of placation.  Once it finally stopped writhing and died, Ivy stood again and put her eyes on the heroes.  Now, it was time to get serious.  Ivy raised her left hand and rotated the wrist while clenching a fist, forcing a congregation of vines at the top corners of the bank's front to slither away and reveal two bulbous, pulsating pink spheres.<br/><br/><em>"What is more important to you, heroes?  Your victory or your innocents?"</em><br/><br/>The bulbs opened up, releasing a plume of mist and vapor into the atmosphere that quickly faded out of sight.  Within seconds, everyone in the vicinity was facing an intense sensation of nausea, inducing the immediate need to start vomiting.  Every cop,  every pedestrian and each hero (sans Red Hood) were experiencing the same. symptoms.  Ivy had released an airborne toxin and to make things worse, an odd scent began to proliferate the area.  Just as Booster flew towards Ivy, the cops and pedestrians turned their attention on the heroes and began assaulting them.  Cops were firing their pistols while the pedestrians rushed towards them unarmed or with improvised weapons -- all while vomiting and being affected by the toxin.  Booster's attack forced two chunks of debris from the ground to kick up and careen towards Ivy.  It did take her by surprise but her quick use of vines wrapped around them and positioned them in front of Ivy to defend from another attack.  Meanwhile, Ivy made a dash into the bank and begin preparing her other devices.<br/><hr/><hr/><div align="center"><div

Read segment of the Villain post.  The information below is to include Systematic Implementations that balance out the playing field considering I have <strong>one</strong> villain going against <strong>six</strong> heroes with a possible seventh on the way.  Freeform is still allowed but what is below is designed to give you something more to react and integrate into your posts.  <br/><br/><strong>Toxin Exposure: </strong> For the sake of story, we're assuming anyone with exposed skin (natural or otherwise) is affected by a dreadful nausea that forces one to vomit profusely.  It is very painful and debilitating but will not threaten the lives of the heroes.  The only reason Red Hood is not affected is due to a lack of skin exposure.<br/><br/><strong>Controlled Civilians &amp; Henchmen</strong>:  This is for everyone to have some more fun and show off your heroes with!  From this post forward, the outcome and actions taken from the controlled citizens and the henchmen are on need basis only.  Beyond that, they are your playground to use.  Have fun!<br/><br/><strong>Injury Value</strong><br/>Booster Gold = Healthy (Sick)<br/>Red Hood = Healthy<br/>Aquaman = Healthy (Sick)<br/>Miss Martian = Healthy (Sick)<br/>Supergirl = Healthy<br/>White Canary = Healthy (Sick)<br/>Poison Ivy = Healthy<br/></div></div></div></div>
