18 Chapter 18: Poison Ivy
"Me? I'm a genius. I can make plants behave like animals and make animals into plants. And I'm part plant as well. It doesn't show. But I am... What am I? I am the Queen of the May, crowned in leaves, and blossom, and thorns. I am hope and beauty and truth. A symbol of growth in the dark times that are upon us... I am impossible. Woodrue killed me. You know that? I don't know what he gave me in those college experiments. But it killed me... killed her... birthed me... What am I? I am Poison Ivy."
―Poison Ivy

"Tell me, who are you now?" Ivy looked confused and said, "What do you mean?"
"Look at this person next to me. She is Bridgit Pike. She has been kept in the depths of Arkham for more than a year. After being tested, she has a fiery physique and can spray flames. What about you? Your special abilities, what are they?"
Ivy took a look at her green skin and said cautiously, "a tree?"
"Uh, the idea is pretty good, but why disguise it? I mean, don't you want to manipulate the trees?"
Ivy, the girl who hasn't read much but got used to mixing on the street, said in a puzzled way, "I don't understand, Herbert. Give me some hints."
"I mean, through experiments, don't you have any superpowers? Except for the green skin."
Ivy said uncertainly, "It doesn't seem to be the case, should I have it?"
"Of course, the green skin indicates that your body is turning into a plant, and you should be able to manipulate plants."
"Plantization, this doesn't sound like good news."
"Wait for me."
Jude knocked on the door of the neighbor's old lady: "Bandra, can I lend a pot of flowers, I will return it to you later."
"No problem, but remember to notify me when you have a barbecue party. I also like to play with young guys."
Putting the lily flower in front of Ivy, Jude continued to seduce: "Do you feel anything when you look at it? Do you have any special ideas? For example, the DNA has moved."
Ivy stroked the petals lightly and said, "It seems kind and strange; why do I feel this way?"
"Try to connect it with thoughts, control it, or let it grow."
"I don't understand; what should I do?"
"Think, use your brain, try it."
Ivy closed her eyes and gently touched the petals. After a while, the original flower bone began to bloom, and it fully bloomed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, Jude was even more certain that Ivy Pepper was the plant girl to be developed and that she could use Phytokinesis
Seeing that she let the flowers bloom, Ivy cried out in surprise, and the flower was also swaying from side to side, seeming to echo her mood.
Firefly shrugged: "So is your ability to fertilize the flowers and plants or something? What can this be used for? Can fruit trees be ripened?"
Jude glared at her and said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of Ivy's ability. The combat effectiveness of plants is terrible; don't underestimate them."
"Now, let's imagine again, making this little flower bigger, thicker, and more fierce. For example, a piranha is good."
Ivy scratched her head and said, "Although I haven't read many books, lilies, and piranhas should be two varieties; are you sure I can do it?"
"How can you know if you don't try, you won't get anywhere anyway?"
"OK."
With Ivy's manipulation, the originally weak lily began to grow rapidly. With a glass of water, the original 30 cm flower grew to a height of one meter, and the flower mouth became a huge abyss of half a meter.
"What the hell!" Firefly looked at all this in surprise.
"Go on, Ivy, it's not ferocious enough!"
Ivy continued to control the giant lily. Suddenly, she began to tremble. Then she saw the lily change drastically, with ten-centimeter-long barbs protruding and beginning to spread out the branch rhizomes.
How could the flowerpot withstand such a huge force? It burst open with a bang, the branch rhizomes continued to skyrocket and soon covered half of the floor, and the petals also began to turn from white to blood red, and the roots fell inward. The thorns looked like rows of sharp teeth.
"OMG! It turned into a cannibal, cool!"
Jude looked at all this with excitement. With such a big lily piranha, looking at its teeth, it might be easy to swallow a person.
"Enough Ivy; no matter how big it is, the house will burst. Let it retract."
Ivy still trembled: "I... I do not seem to be able to control it anymore. It seems to be generating its thoughts, and it is defying my orders."
Jude's face changed instantly: "Madam, don't joke with me."
Suddenly, Ivy stepped back again and again, as if she had been hit, and heard a whistling sound. The lily piranha swept its thick and long rhizome directly, and the refrigerator was instantly overturned to the ground.
"What the fuck are you doing? Are you going to have a party again?"
The old lady Bandera didn't know when she walked out the door; she opened the door as she spoke, and then she saw a scene that she would never forget.
"What…"
Bandera let out a scream, then she was rolled up by the lily piranha vine and stuffed it into its mouth.
"FUCK! Bridgit!"
The firefly quickly took off her gloves, and the flames burst out instantly, burning the roots of the lily piranha. The piranha suddenly struggled violently.
Jude took out the laser gun and fired continuously. The Butler Robot also walked out of the corner; two tongues of fire spurted out, and dozens of bullets poured out.
A minute later, the door of the room suddenly flew out and hit the wall, and then a piece of burnt black fell to the ground. Lily Piranha also blew out with black smoke. When it hit the ground, its weight was enough to cause the whole house to shake.
After slowing down for a few seconds and realizing that there was indeed no danger, Jude hurried forward, slashed the stem of the piranha, and took the old lady Bandera out of it. At this time, the old lady was covered with sticky white liquid.
I don't know if this old lady has luck. Her vitality is tenacious. When she encountered this kind of thing, she passed out only because of a lack of oxygen. Although she had some wounds on her body, she didn't seem to be harmed in the way.
Carrying Bandera back to his apartment, helping her freshen up, and putting her on the bed, they were helpless about other things.
"It looks like a memory erasure device should be developed," Jude thought to himself.
Going back to my apartment, it was already in dilapidated condition. Ivy said a little apologetically, "I didn't know it would happen like this; I'm sorry."
"It's okay; you just can't control your abilities yet. As long as you exercise a few more times, you can do it."
Ivy's face changed. "You mean to continue?"
"Of course, but it can't be here; too much movement will hurt others. We need a safe place."
Jude thought for a moment and then dialed a number.
"Mr. Oswald, it's me."
"Of course, I can hear your voice, Mr. Herbert."
"I need a safe place; can you provide it?"
The Penguin said without hesitation, "Yes, come to the Iceberg Restaurant; I am waiting for you there, and there is something to consult with you."
He hung up the phone, found a backpack to pack the Butler Robot and other valuable things, and installed the door of the room. The three people quietly left.
