align="center"><strong>Who Are They?</strong></div>Poison Ivy is one of the world's most prominent eco-terrorists with an obsession in plants, botany, and environmentalism.  What isn't known is Poison Ivy is a Guardian of the Green and that she was inactive for five years.  |  Serving Metropolis' vigilante population, Thorn has a case Dissociative Identity Disorder and has spent her efforts hunting down the 100.  What has brought these two together?<hr/><hr/><br/><strong>W</strong>hen Red Hood began stepping towards her,  Poison Ivy anchored her gaze on him.  He spoke her name with animosity dripping off the tongue.  She surveyed his body language and tone, suggesting an eagerness to inflict pain yet there was an emotionally collected demeanor in his gait.  He was confused.  That became further apparent after he stopped outside of her reach and stared her down.  She could only picture Todd's face behind the crimson, reflecting helmet he wore.  Perhaps it had a vertical crease between the brow, as if he had been struck and not yet recovered.  An incredulous stare, originating from her prior explanation then reinforced at her antitoxin use.<br/><br/>While Todd calmly inquired more information out of Ivy,  Thorn's looked to Aquaman.  The abrupt change in luminosity from the trident caught her eyes, knowing it was the source of the imprisoning barrier around her.  Following it, Aquaman's defensive barrier shrunk in size while hers enlarged.  Thorn was no where near as conniving as Ivy, but she made the immediate note of certain things.  The shield had pulsed twice, most likely signifying moments of escape for an opportunist.  It may not be necessary now but in the event she crosses path with Aquaman again, she'd remember that.  Once the second pulse occurred, she surveyed what changed.  There was now a part of the barrier around Ivy, separating her from Red Hood but there was also a division.  What seemed more peculiar, however, was the lack of reaction out of Ivy.  Even Thorn had to admit the woman's tranquility in this situation seemed out of place.<br/><br/><em>"You are not required to help me,"</em>Ivy replied to Todd, initially answering why they should help her.<br/><em>Your confusion is not misplaced either.  The money is to invest in terraforming technology developed by the Kryptonians, but reverse-engineered to benefit our atmosphere.  An investment, you could say, in case of worst-case scenario."</em><br/><br/>Booster Gold was next to speak his mind, speaking more eloquently than before which removed an illusion to his lack of intelligence.  Not that there was much there to begin with.  One does not use technology of that caliber without having a grasp of science or mathematics easily.  However, Ivy chose to ignore his boasts of trials, courts and prison sentences.  He was a fool if he believed her capable of being imprisoned as the Avatar of the Green.  Though, in hindsight, he knew nothing of her new power so it was to be expected.  Thorn did not share her sentiment.<br/><br/><em>"Your either as stupid as you pretend to be or you're blind by your arrogance.  The only reason you don't see what's wrong in Gotham is because the place is perfect for what's going -"</em>Thorn began to say, but trailed off once Ivy rose a placating hand.<br/><br/>It came Aquaman's time to speak, respectfully given his chance through the action.  Ivy held no animosity towards these heroes.  They, similar to her, spoke and acted on the impulse of heart.  She had lost the battle and though she was confident in her belief to escape, she saw little merit in running.  Allow them time to believe themselves the victor and think they have leverage with the ascertained bags of stolen money over her.  It was giving her the time to explain the grizzly details.  Aquaman spoke of his 'Marshall', whom he claimed to be in possession of an artifact that would compel her to speak truth.  Then came the warning, veiled behind diplomatic vernacular.<br/><br/><em>"By all means, conduct your test but you'll find your paranoia as misplaced as the boy's confusion.  Surely you've realized that my power is much greater than before.  I do not believe you are all idiots.  All evidence you need is in front of you.  In fact."</em><br/><br/>Suddenly, Ivy was elsewhere.  It all happened quickly, within fractions of a second.  Despite Aquaman's place of a barrier, vines emerged at her feet and swallowed her before shrinking back down only to reappear next to the collection of money-filled bags.  There, the vines retracted into the ground again and Ivy held out a hand, palms facing the ceiling.<br/><br/><em>"I still have a choice to be here or not.  I choose to be because of the risk.  Observe,"</em>she told them after her apparent teleportation.<br/><em>"The Green, as Rhosyn explained, is a collective consciousness to all plant-life on Earth.  An elemental force which connects them to me by virtue of being one of its chosen.  There are other forces like it, such as The Red.  That is the force which connects animal-life.  The Rot, however, connects death.  Death to animal and plant alike.  In recent history, one of its agents has killed those like me that were chosen.  As it stands, it is widely unopposed."</em>
