At the very least, Thorn was being contained, and Jason was ready to follow Ivy down the rabbit-hole, to put an end to whatever she was planning. From behind him, he heard Aquaman's trident<em>thunk</em>down onto the marbled floors of the bank, and a glowing bubble of golden energy appeared around the wrathful redhead, though it wavered a moment later, as if the creator of this power was not well. Jason turned his head to glance back at Aquaman, and saw him using the trident as support, sagging heavily against the powerful weapon. It must have been the plumes of toxins that Ivy had unleashed outside, and he said a couple of silent thanks to the engineers who had designed it for him. He was Darth<em>fucking</em>Vader with this thing on, and it made him feel powerful.<br/><br/>He was coming close to the humming orb shield, wanting to look her in the eyes as she taunted them. The narrowed, glowing-white slits of his helmet could sometimes be unnerving to his enemies, and he wondered if she was intimidated, too. Likely not; Thorn seemed to be a step above the trash that had been gun-running for Ivy outside. He chuckled low as she intimated to the Red Hood that he wouldn't be successful if he tried to take her down, but he didn't respond, glancing his eyes up along the walls of the inner bank. Just as Thorn had said, the four heroes were surrounded by vines that were blooming with thick needles; In his mind's eye he imagined them springing from their blooms, raining down on all of them. He had been spared the poisonous effects of Ivy at least twice now, and thought that perhaps his luck would be running out soon; Jason put a hand on his hip, grasping the holstered grapnel he kept locked there, knowing he could make a very quick escape if it came to it. It wouldn't be the first time Red Hood had grappled up to his Bat-glider and disappeared within seconds. But he couldn't just leave Aquaman, Flash and Booster here by themselves. Jason didn't like abandoning allies that easily, and he especially didn't like the thought of Aquahog getting all the glory for this bust.<br/><br/>Thorn then mentioned that she would be willing to talk, though she had conditions. The situation wasn't fully resolved, though, as she could have been bluffing for time. What they really needed was to get Ivy, and just as Jason thought to hop down the tunnel she had created and give chase- the Bat-glider was giving him enough information about the tunnel as it could discern- Flash beat him to the punch, zooming down into the earth, and emerged with the flower that had borne her away earlier. Ivy stepped out, and the confusion on her face was one he wouldn't forget. She stepped forward and was soon covered in petals again, and Jason was walking slowly in her direction now. He took his hand away from his hip and held it at his side again, though he was just as effective and even lethal with his gun and his knife on his belt.<br/><br/>Then, Poison Ivy defiantly began to tell the assembled force of heroes what she had been trying, and it frankly left him confused. But she was in a talking mood, and not a fighting one, and Jason could at least appreciate that. Now, they could get down to answering some important questions: What was Ivy doing?<strong>"Avatars? The Green? The Red? Ivy, what-?"</strong>He began, but Thorn quickly interjected, explaining with a bit of hesitance, as if she didn't believe. Jason didn't know what to think; He had seen all kinds of fantastic things in this city, a lot of horrible things too. He had come back from the dead, but a lot of his skepticism had not made the return trip from hell, so what if this Avatar crap was real? He had to consider it.<br/><br/>She raised a hand, but Jason didn't see anything happen, not at first. It wasn't until he switched his view to the aerial sight of the Bat-glider that he could see a couple of new bulbs bloom and spew out their toxins.<strong>"Ivy..."</strong>Jason growled, stepping quickly towards her, ready to take her twiggy wrist and bend it behind her back until she was broken. But as this new poison was dispersed to the crowd of confused and retching civilians and police outside, the glider was taking samples of the air. It was a different substance from the two previous plumes she had thrown into the air, and he could see people who had been on the ground sobbing with sickness began to weakly rise to their feet, and help some of the others who weren't as quick. In her deluded mind, the ledger had been straightened; The crowd outside had been seemingly cured, and here she stood. Not ready to be taken into custody, but ready to talk. The Red Hood halted two feet in front of her, staring down at the villainess, and waited for her explanation.<br/><br/><strong>"Why should we help you, Ivy? You haven't given us anything solid to go on. So, start now. What did you need the money for?"</strong>He gestured towards the duffle bags she had failed to abscond with.<strong>"What is it that you're fighting? <em>The Rot?</em>"</strong>he asked incredulously, raising his right hand, slowly clenching it into a fist in front of her face. It crackled with electricity that arced between his knuckles.<strong>"Answers, or I'm taking you down right now."</strong>He was doing his best Bruce impression, his tone low, gravely, threatening. Maggie Sawyer was out there still, and he'd deliver this overgrown weed to her personally if she kept evading with these ridiculous riddles.
