Dr. Pamela Isley had nothing on Dr. Karin Freeze Isley.  Her mother was a wilted rose compared to her power, although if she was to be feared she would have to prove her superiority, the blonde haired woman knew as she walked into Wayne Enterprise's Botanical Labs in Gotham City.  Her name was changed of course so as not to make anyone suspect she was really the seed of the original Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, adopted almost immediately when she was born when her 'dear ol mom' was incarcerated in Arkham Asylum after her reign was ended by Batman and Robin so long ago.  It was too bad the Caped Crusader was an old bat now, retired from what the rumors said, but he did have a successor to his legendary mantle.  Two could play that game however as 'Karin Ross, Doctor Karin Ross' sat down at her desk for the day, going through a new DNA sequence that was a lethal combination of a rare kind of orchid found in the Amazon and a deadly king cobra found in Africa.  In theory they matched perfectly and would create the hybrid she wished.  In practice....it didn't go so well since the animal half of the equation normally died when the experiment began.  When it didn't die off, it went berserk and it would subsequently try to break its containment cell, only having to be put down anyway.  It was something simple she knew, but what Karin was at a loss.  Hopefully Bruce Wayne, the head of Wayne Enterprises even at his age wouldn't shut her down before she was ready or she'd have to step up her plans and continue her research at home where she wouldn't be nearly as well supplied as she was here...not without pulling a few robberies and bank jobs of course.<br/><br/>For now she toiled away, hour upon hour, skipping lunch and going right on into the night until...success.  A new sequence, just slightly altered from the original was prepared for injection into the newest king cobra she had on hand.  The moment of truth came and went when the snake was held down by Karin's unique ability, making it docile and obedient to her will as soon as her pheromones that she could emit at will entered its nose and it stopped moving about so erratically.  She purred to it, letting it know she meant it no harm as it raised its head to look at her as the needle pierced through its skin and into the veins underneath.  What happened next took a few more hours of painstakingly having to wait, but it was worth it as the transformation was completed and it showed no adverse side effects.  It looked more plant like than animal now, covered in a growth that was sped up by Karin's other unique talents.  "I seem to have made my first hybrid creature.  Take that mother.  It seems I'm the smarter after all."  She grinned as the snake raised its head again, a strange hiss and rustle noise coming from it as it swayed and flicked its fork tongue at her, the whole of it looking more like an exotic vine with pink buds all over it rather than a king cobra anymore.  Karin smiled wickedly as she flicked her own tongue at the creature before her, glad she had had the frame of mind to have the cameras run on a loop or she'd be in trouble for sure by now.  "I'll be back for you later my dear."  The snake/plant thing seemed to understand her as it lowered itself to the floor of its cage and rested, the leaves it had sprouted unfolding as Karin turned on a sun lamp above the cage.  "Hmm, interesting.  Photosynthetic it seems.  What other surprises do you have for me I wonder?"<br/><br/>She mused aloud, the 'goal' of the project being to help mankind in finding cures for cancer and the like as well as finding ways to help nature speed up growth so that destroyed rain forests and the like could be restored much quicker.  In reality Karin had already fulfilled her own goals, but she had made leaps and bounds on the growth acceleration part as well, since it never hurt to have a back up plan and a way to keep the locals at ease.  Locking her lab up securely, Poison Ivy the II walked out of the building fifteen minutes later, the loop having been played out and the camera's normal functions restored due to a time lapse program she had embedded in the system almost the first day she had started work for the company.  While she hated the gas guzzling machines that emitted so much CO2 into the atmosphere among other harmful chemicals and pollutants, Karin had little choice as she got into her own, an environmental friendly version of a Priss, she drove home through the busy and congested streets and into the edge of Gotham City, having a small mansion of her own that looked more like the home of a jungle than a modern day home.  Parking before her plant covered abode, Karin walked through her oak finished front doors and locked them behind her, several strong vines securing the entrance on command as she stripped out of her lab outfit and 'let her hair down', so to speak.<br/><br/>Much like the snake had before her, the scientist shed her skin, or rather it simply changed and became as green as the dangerous plants and animals that she worked with everyday.  Slender and thin vines covered her legs and snaked across her skin as a red 'blouse' of rose petals formed over her breasts, just as a dark green leaf 'thong' covering her sex.  "Mmmmm....it's so good to be home.  Did you miss me my darlings?"  The assorted plants, ranging from the common rose to a giant venus flytrap that sat in the back of her 'living room' all seemed to rustle in unison at her question, as if to say yes they had.  "Goooood.  Your time is coming very soon.  The first of the lethal hybrids has been completed and more shall come.  Our time is almost upon us.  Once you and those that will come later hit the streets, not even the mighty big black bat shall be able to stop us."
