672. Let's Drink Some Tea

Douglas stopped as he felt that she needed some kind of help. "Yes, I can fix most of the things. Even if it is broken bones."

"Then, can you repair the greenhouse in this park? It had a lot of flowers growing there but some college students trashed the place. Now it's all in ruins. I am hunting the students responsible but I can't fix the damage." She asked. She sounded as if it physically hurt her.

"Sure, lead me to it." Douglas immediately agreed.

He followed Poison Ivy and soon came to a large greenhouse. When he entered he saw all the plants were stomped and many flower pots were shattered.

"What kind of animals entered here?" He wondered.

"The worst kind, humans." Poison Ivy said.

"Hehe, nice. Well, I will fix it then." Douglas started waving his hand around. Things started to fly around and stuff got fixed. The plants returned to their better state. Flowers again showed their colour.

"Yes, that's it." Poison Ivy cheered in happiness and touched the flowers.

But Douglas didn't stop there, he even created a few lights and a table and chair for himself. Then he went and sat down and brought out some food from Phixheim.

"Ah, I'm hungry now. You wanna eat?" He asked.

"Are you really not afraid that I might attack you?" She asked in wonder.

"Heh, why would I be afraid of you? You look more like a beautiful flower than a monster. Though it's a different case if you have some kind of secret transformation that turns you into a scary monster," Douglas japed.

At least this brought a smile to her face. She also sat down. Douglas passed on her a sandwich, "Don't worry, unlike you I don't release toxins and also, I don't need toxins to do anything."

"Why are you being so nice to me? I just tried to kill you." She asked.

"Tell me, would a lion worry about an ant trying to bite its nail? I didn't feel any threat from you, so there is no need to be angry. In fact, that was my first kiss. We angels aren't really allowed to do that kind of stuff, you know... snu snu... in heaven," Douglas explained.

She then finally took a bit and it was delicious. Why wouldn't it be? Olivia made it.

"So, why did you come here among us mortals?" She asked normally.

"War. There is a war going on in the heavens. If the other side wins, all will be lost. This planet, this universe, past, future, all other universes." Douglas said.

It startled her. She was not expecting anything so serious.

"What about you? What's your story?" Douglas asked back.

Poison Ivy sighed and started speaking as she was now in a good mood. "I lived in a decently wealthy family. I always wanted to be a botanist. Well, not always, sometimes I wanted to be a rock and roll star, and sometimes I wanted to be a movie star or a model.

"But in the end, Botany it was. I later studied advanced botanical biochemistry at a university under Dr Jason Woodrue. I was a timid, shy girl, and I was easily seduced by my professor. So foolish I was to trust that man.

"Woodrue injected me with poisons and toxins as an experiment, causing my transformation. I nearly died twice as a result of those poisonings, driving me insane. Later Woodrue fled from the authorities, leaving me in the hospital for six months.

"I was enraged at the betrayal. I was used by him, mentally, physically and spiritually. I suffered from violent mood swings since then, being sweet one moment and evil the next. Later, my boyfriend had a car accident after mysteriously suffering from a massive fungal overgrowth. It was the last straw that broke me. I dropped out of school and left Seattle, eventually settling in Gotham City.

"Since then, I wanted to defend those who are defenceless from the cruelty of Humanity. And I saw them as plants, nature. They don't have a voice and often end up abused. Those who usually tear down nature for the greed of humanity are typically males if you pay attention."

"That is why you hate all men?" Douglas asked.

"Yes, I'd rather have all of them killed." She replied.

Douglas then suddenly put his hand on hers. Man was a noob when it came to reading the atmosphere.

Poison Ivy was shocked when he did that. A man touched her, it was an offence akin to trying to kill her.

"I feel your pain, Ivy. But don't lose hope just yet. Didn't I tell you, the old man is here. It's kind of his job to fix broken worlds with broken society. He is also a big nature lover. You should meet him." He advised.

"Where does he live?" She asked directly. She would like to meet him if he was really as strong as Douglas said.

"Oh, don't worry, I will take you to him. Come with me." Douglas said. He cheerfully went closer to her, picked her in his arms in a princess carry and flew up.

Ivy was so taken aback by the suddenness and the balls of this man that she forgot to protest.

And when her senses came back, they were already in the air. She was a person who loved to stick to the ground so this was not very appreciative. Afraid of falling, she held Douglas tightly.

"How can you be so thick-skinned? Why did you pick me like that?" She questioned angrily.

"What? Can you fly? Do you want me to let you go?" Douglas asked with genuine curiosity.

"NO, NO... don't let me go... don't let me go." She quickly refused, making her grip on him tighter.

...

Alexander returned to earth. He headed straight to the Wayne Manor. He rang the doorbell.

*DING DONG*

Soon, an old man with a partially bald head came. He was in a butler suit. "Yes?"

"How is Bruce? I bet he is not good after all the drinking at the party. That's what he gets for competing with me. Let's go, I need to talk to him." Alexander said, barging into the house.

Alfred did ascertain that the man knew Bruce, but there was a problem. "Sir, Master Bruce is not at home currently."

"Hah, I know. He's in his Batcave. Let's go there then." Alexander replied calmly.

Alfred's jaw hung open. "W-wait... how did you..."

"Heh, kid, I know everything," Alexander shrugged.

~Kid? Me?~ Alfred was confused now.

Alexander went inside the building, he went to open the secret door which was located in the main study, behind a grandfather clock.

Alfred was being more and more shocked every moment now. It was as if Alexander was walking around his own home. Then, he went down through the stairs and reached an elevator.

Soon, he came down to the open Batcave.

"Alfred, who was it?" Bruce's heavy voice came. He was in his batsuit but without the mask.

"Master... he..." Alfred spoke. But Bruce turned around before and saw Alexander.

"Haha, kid. You are very quick to get rid of your hangover." Alexander jokingly said and just roamed around the Batcave with his hand being on his waist, like an old man taking a stroll through the park.

The Batcave was beautiful. With all the lights, an underground waterfall and the beautiful Batmobile parked on a platform.

"I see you have been utilising your money perfectly." Alexander commended him.

*BANG*

All of a sudden, Batman fired a taser shot from his weird gun. It got caught on Alexander's clothes. But he was unharmed.

He plucked the cylindrical object from his chest and threw it to the side. "Come on, Bruce. Is this how you treat your guests? Isn't this welcome too... electrifying?"

"Haha..." Alfred chuckled.

"Who are you?" Batman asked, still pointing his gun.

"Alexander Maxim Universe, it really is my name. My dear parents gave me that." Alexander answered.

"How did you know about this place and me?" Batman asked further.

Alexander shrugged his shoulders, "Not very hard, any man with common sense can know. A vigilante, roaming around in a city in super high tech cars and stuff. Not many people can afford that. Lex is known criminal so he wouldn't do it. That leaves a few others, but only you stand out because of how little public presence you have. All you have is your notoriety of being a playboy. That's it."

Alfred nodded. This was indeed right. Anyone with half a brain could deduce this. But in a city like Gotham, people saw the rich as criminals and never expected one of them to be a vigilante.

Alexander continued, "But I... had some other means of finding out."

*ZIP*

Alexander disappeared from his place and appeared just behind Batman. He pressed two fingers at his back, making it feel like a gun.

"You need better security, kid." He advised.

Bruce suddenly felt the sensation of a gun disappear. He quickly turned around. But saw Alexander calmly sitting on the chair facing the large surveillance computer.

"WHAT ARE YOU?" Batman asked with a serious expression.

"Hah, so many people have been asking me this question these days. Come, sit. This old man is not gonna bite you. You too, Alfred. Let's drink some tea." Alexander invited them.

"I will bring some." Alfred turned around to bring it.

"No need, I have it." The next moment, a tea kettle and a few glasses appeared in the air near Alexander.
