Liam had packed up work for the day and on his way home, he heard smelt it... heard it... The tiny heartbeat of a rat. He was passing one of many alleys in Gotham City when he saw the small rodent feasts on one of many garbage piles, the smell of it assaulted his nose to give him an almost recoil of snobbishness. But he was still fixated on the rodent, to which he stepped out of the bustling streets and towards the critter that looked up before running. Down the alley it trailed to which Liam followed, taking long strides before he was deep enough to break into a sprint.
The chase was on, the rat ran for dear life as the lanky male hunted him down with hungry eyes. The serpent's glare strong as the small rodent squeezed under the door of a warehouse at the end of the alley, to which Liam without humane thought or consciousness barged through. He hardly noticed the surroundings as he had it in sight, it was close and he was sure he couldn't smell anybody close by. It was the primal hunger driving him so far as the rat continued trying to retreat, only to have it's attempt cut short. Liam's tongue had shot out of his mouth, stretching to impossible lengths and coiling like a snake as it wrapped around the creature before retreating to which it was swallowed whole. Liam's jaw waggled slightly as it momentarily detached for the task, his eyes closing as he felt the living lump slide slowly down his throat.
However, once the critter was safetly in his stomach, Liam started to notice his surroundings. His sense of smell was better then any human's and he could smell... Pollen, plants and other... Strange smells? His eyes open and finally Liam saw it, the paradise of flora surrounding him. The metal works of man entrenched in natures gifts and the man was stunned, perhaps since he was still wearing his office clothes... With a big bundle of curly hair... He should probably just leave. Despite being 6'9, he didn't really look that threatening... Save perhaps his emerald snake eyes.
Ivy didn't hear much of anything outside her.. utopia of flora, her babies, her children they were hers and hers alone. They were the fruit of the future also the fruit to life.. they had their lusts their needs.. underneath the ground they were feeding on many bodies of those whom were fitted to give them the right personalities.. to create the hive mind of her utopia.. at least her home. They would tell her those whom entered, those whom trailed into her home for her babies. She would protect them with a vengeance, the warehouse becoming more and more like an atrium. Glass now was above in a dome shape, vines coiled crystallized sugars creating this glass in various pinks and blues.
Ivy's figure was in a hammock of a flora of sorts, it was pink, dazzled in many green striations hanging from a large tree above. The tree's roots dug into the ground that was soil, the owner given up on fixing his 'plant' problem. Eventually gave her full reign over this.. plantation of what would be many different exotic flora life custom created to her leisure. The large tree had purple vein, glowing, moving up the long lines along with red on the very bottom.. which would be blood.. glowing blood. But one wouldn't notice for it was pink into the red making an aesthetic beauty. But, the doors to her.. lounge was.. pushed open and who could do that without some degree of strength?
Veins ripped, she sat up immediately as she see the veins recoil reform themselves without much pain she designed them to.. be able to take a beating because she knew some more human people had bothered. Sitting up, green eyes adjusted to look down at a tall man staring at all the plant life. What was he doing trespassing? He certiainly had no reason to be here other than.. it seemed eating? Her eyes stared for a moment trying to compress what to do since her babies could potentially be at harm. He could fucking be working with the bat for all she knew and that was the last of her needs. Sadly, there was only one way to find out.
Vines would coil near his feet, moving towards them not attempting to pin him but they swirled around him rising pushing him forward deeper into the flora forcing him to move. It was playful, almost to see what he would do, the flora brushing against him the pinks fading as he passed. Was there a reason for that? Well, when they were glowing pink.. they were poisonous, deadly, so they ..deactivated it seemed turning into a lovely pink patterned plant with green instead of glowing. They were soft, pillow like, they just gently brushed against him leaving him in an open space with a water an open space .. a water fountain it seemed? Vines coiled thousands upon thousands, leaving a pool with regular water, through a long ..odd look lion creature made of vines of plants came water from the mouth.
But the part that would throw him off, would be Ivy sitting cross legged on the edge of the fountain her right hand underneath her chin. Eyes scanning down him, hair shoulder length, red, curly but decorating her exotic features. Green eyes analyzed even gave him a once over, "Want to come and sit?" Her voice a purr, welcoming, she wanted to see just what he did.
Liam hadn't even meant to barge in, he just felt the primal hunger inside of him take over as he chased the rat digesting within his guts. The vines that coiled and forced him alarmed him, true shock was painted across his face. It was clear that he had never seen anything like this or expected it. As the veins moved him, he keeled over slightly, head bowing as he felt a rumble in his stomach. His own children... If her babies protected momma so dearly, then she would see what happened when daddy is threatened. It took it's time as the male looked as if he would throw up, perhaps to her it could be taken as a reaction to the poison, but alas Liam's own skin secreted deadly toxins often. He was use to poisons in his system. Finally as his still dislocated jaw opened, from it's depths a large Anaconda seemed to simply be born as it slithered free of his body and took to the floor. Hissing violently at the vines that where already leaving him at the waters edge. It was drenched, in the poisons that ran through Liam's body, giving it's slimy exterior a a gleam to it as with the planets gone the reptile started to lovingly coil around the male who straightened himself and looked at the woman.
She was gorgeous... Liam had never seen anything like her... It was as if she was like him, just less human in appearance. His heart skipped a beat at her visage as he went silent for a moment in his stare, the large anaconda resting it's head on his shoulder as it also looked at her with it's tongue stuck out in a silent warning. "Sure, just as long as no more vines try to molest me." He said rather wearily in his heavy Irish tone as he walked over to sit beside her, the snake moving slightly around him, but alas still holding close to it's father.
Didn't meant to barge in now? Really? How can one not mean to barge in? He did mean to barge in for the rat to be correct. He didn't know this place would be inhabited hell most people left it alone this was why it was the perfect place for her home.. for her babies. Her own children, but they were not as sentient as snakes.. they had to develop this consciousness which they had yet to reap from the bodies in the ground. They were without remorse, they were without consciousness which would be better just like his own snake. From afar, she seen him doubled over, her lips curling in a frown. Another who would die to the poison.. a misfortune but a gift at the same time. He would do great to the tree if needed but that wasn't fun either. She enjoyed talking once in a while.. a girl got lonely time to time.. her plants were very communicative but very immature at times. The green only offered the truee words but sometimes.. they were just silent.. ignored her.
Although, when the snake slithered from his mouth she let out a laugh of of glee. Well, he had tricks ..with snakes? That was interesting it was something she never seen before in her entire life to be exact. It was interesting to see him interact with his own.. children? Odd, but interesting she was no different in her own rites. Right arm moving to her cheek she would wait for him as he approached the veins easing away from the anaconda without harassing it. It wasn't trying to intercept violently it only wanted to push it towards the founder of this place, their mother. Ivy on the other hand analyzed him, took him in as he straightened himself. Tall, skinny, it seemed.. underfed? She wasn't sure, but his skin.. it was like hers.. soaked in toxin that gave her a curious lift of her head as her pale hand fell to bare knee. Green eyes staring, "Mn. Consumes the oxygen in the body and breaks down their cells." She mumbled, analytically, the woman's.. intelligence working at a high tone.
Once eye contact had been made her eyes just stared without a sound waiting for a response seeing as the snake had wrapped itself around him. Sucks, she wanted to get closer, she would just have to wait until he made himself closer to her then. It was okay she could wait, she just had butter fingers sometimes and couldn't help herself. "I can make sure that won't happen." She said, her voice simple, warm as she waved her fingers, vines moving away from him completely now as she tilted her head, red dancing in front of green eyes. Pale lips parting to a grin, a seductive one as her fingers trailed to her cheek head tilting as she perched her arm on her knee, "I can't guarantee anything on my part though."
Well, he had no idea what she was going on about beforehand, but alas Liam was quiet out of his comfort zone with it all. He hadn't really needed to use the full extent of his powers before, he had toyed with them all individually but... Did he really have to fight such a good looking lady? Something about her was simply... Enchanting and enthralling. As she moved her vines away, his serpent like eyes gazed out over the retreating flora and with that a soft hiss fled his own lips. In a way he had granted her silent wish to get close to him, as the anaconda smothering his body started to uncoil itself and proceeded to slither away a short distance. Close enough that it could get her in one mighty spring, but far enough so that it looked as if he was honoring a silent bargain.
Her laugh of glee before though registered as a strange perversion in his mind, but it soon flooded away as he laid eyes on her once more. The man inside the snake rising up as he merely shrugged and rose up a hand to run through his dark, curly hair. "Well you wouldn't be the first woman who wanted to sexually assault me, just proves you're not blind." He teased with a grin, though the strange happenings around him did truly freak him out... Something else calmed him. Was it something in the air? His sense of smell was strong, but all he could smell was various pollen and sweet nectar. He'd have to be careful... Or just be an idiot as usual and pray for the very best.
Ivy had no intentions of fighting unless he pursued a fight of course it was just one of those things. She was more curious about his biology now after that whole show what made him do that? What made him turn the snake into that.. creature from his mouth? She could explain her biology but on his? She could not. This moderation came with paticence showing she wasn't as threatened as she seemed at least. It seemed her justified his stance on her own veins it caused her to giggle it was an girlish sound from behind him as he hissed at them. "They won't harm you." She said, reassuringly as she shook her head on her head her eyes staring at him from afar as she tilted her head. Watching the snake leave her eyes she wasn't trying to threaten him so she merely sat there due to her usual cuddling with veins.. may throw him off she'd just sit there without any at all. Fingers gently tapping on her chin as he looked back at her she merely gave him a grin. It was warm, her teeth human as could be as was her features despite the translucent vines that ran along her skin.
Albeit, he didn't give her the satisfaction of being close sitting it was fine she herself would remain afar. Nothing wrong with staring for a while.. for a while only though. Her lips pursed once as she raised an eyebrow her fingers moving from her chin to her lap perched on her knee as she laughed in his general direction. "..Ohhh Really now? Do you have stories?" She said in return, her grin teasing in return as she leaned forward almost as if to listen. Yet, it was a seductive motion, giving view of the feminine aesthetic. Her eyes still staring, lips curled in a grin as she leaned back with laughter legs crossing once more her figure hand playing at the flowers on the fountain.
He wasn't worried about them hurting him, what could plants do? They wasn't that dangerous right? That's why the hippies didn't last. His eyes remained on her as they trailed shamelessly over her form, it seemed that her tone and stance had definitely worked on him as he actually gave a nod of approval, as if mentally saying 'I'd tap that'. "Well, of course I have some stories to tell, but I'd rather make some stories instead." He grinned and leaned in as well, his slim form leaning over as he was almost laid out on the waters edge. Now all he needed was a young man called Jack to paint him like one of his French girls. Still, she had a strange appeal to her. Though she had vines across her skin, she felt more familiar to Liam then most human girls... Perhaps it was just that due to the snakes living inside of him.
"So tell me, why is a lady like you keeping her goods locked away in here and not flaunting them to the world?" His own flirtation was almost comedic when tied in with his heavy Irish accent. His hand propping up to allow his head rest as he continued to look at her, his silt like pupils almost intense in their stare as he heard the soft hisses of his child off in the background. The snake had started to explore as it slithered around, coiling and climbing up the planets as if it was back in a nature it had never known.
Well, it was good his ignorance was bliss because her plants could do much more than just.. hurt him they could eat him quite literally but that wasn't of interest at the moment. He would be much more useful alive than dead like some of these fools who walked through here. It usually ended up with death from one encounter with Ivy but she didn't mind company either. Who said a girl couldn't get lonely from time to time? It wasn't like she had everything going here for her. Gotham wasn't covered in lovely flora in it was heavily disappointing. Hell, the city didn't even have trees in the streets.. it saddened her greatly. But, she'd listened to him as he grinned. Was it magnetic? Surely, she did have her ways after all but she didn't pursue heavily either she just merely enjoyed playing along with the small game of flirting. When he leaned in, she merely leaned back casually, her eyes never leaving. "Making stories is also fun~ Depending on how the writer writes." Fingers gently reaching moving through his hair once massaging almost. "Sometimes, he writes bad or he writes really well.." She said, her fingers stroking as she spoke simple in notion.
Considering the man was leaned so far out he could be one of those french girls Jack would be more than happy to paint. Then again, he really wasn't much of a girl either if he was.. he had a pretty convincing costume. Lips parting she'd retreat her hand as she placed it on her lap. "But, every story does have an ending. It's not fair if you don't tell me." She pouted, her eyes scanning his own. Staring at the slits, hm, deformed somehow.. but stable. She didn't understand it, something she couldn't pick down with just her eyes. His pose made her just stare down his head propped up her eyes staring down as she knew the snake was moving.. but it did not harm the flora therefore the mutuality remained. "The normal man who doesn't barf snakes from his mouth are usually not very attracted to all the flora." She said, in a whisper in his ear lips lingering for a moment as if in secret.
He felt a strange tingle rivet through his hair as she laced her fingers through his curls, his skin almost catching goosebumps... If it wasn't for his cold blood forbidding it, he would've probably have come up with a faint blush as well. "Well I know I could write with you all day." He slipped the words out that almost rolled off his tongue, the coiling words that twisted like the snake that was dangling above them now as it hung from high vines. Seemed both of them was in some form of paradise. Her whispered though sent another shudder down him, one that danced across his spine as he tilted his head to look back up at her, his lips now replacing where his ear had been as their held only a short distance from her own. He had almost been confused when she mentioned not telling her something, but this he understood well enough. In truth he had nothing to tell her, he knew nothing of why he was. "Clearly a man of my good looks and charm is anything but normal, I could say the same for the sexy, lady before me that controls plants."
His eyebrow raised with a smirk gracing his features in a sly caress as he continued to look up at her. She was strange... Enthralling though. His eyes may have looked like a snakes, but she was one to talk about being deformed. Her whole body was a contortion of human perversion and yet it was still beautiful and ravishing. Perhaps it was the cocky side to every man that made him want to play with fire, the knowledge that he had his own powers definitely helped. He'd have probably shat himself if he didn't have them here.
Strangeness, all the strange things sometimes it wasn't even those moments she was just enjoying the game really. It wasn't like anything was warm it was a simple place beyond the normal she had nothing better to do with herself beyond that. But she was trying to figure things out herself, just the whisper got her enough to her interested in playing this game of cat and mouse a little longer. His powers, the things she could use them for; she needed him for herself there was no reason beyond that. Poison Ivy's selfishness came with rapture, her fingers merely seated on the edge of the fountain her fingers moving to her thigh sitting there poking at her flesh for a moment nail after nail clicking as she got a response, "Really?" She said, her voice taking a interested tone her ears pinpointing the snake's hissing moving above in the trees and vines. Glancing up, she took notice it was above them but it hardly bothered her. Facing him, her leg shortly after tucking into her other thigh. "Far from normal, my love." Her voice taking a sarcastic tone, her fingers extending out to brush hair away from her face.
In his case, he'd have more use, her figure now got closer to his, her fingers on either side of his elbow her figure leaning over as her hair tilted in front of her face. Eyes staring at his, the female got bold in her decision her right hand grasping his face holding softly, moving through his hair a test of sorts. How resistant was he to her toxins? Her touch was gentle, fingers moving over his skin softly her lips parting as she breathed in his general direction, "Your not scared of me are you?" Whispered to him, her faces inches away from him the woman's fingers coming down his neck to his shoulder. But the truth of it is, her skin was now coated in an venom, curious how he would take to the contact. She wasn't attacking him presay~ but she was testing him.
His skin gave no clear reaction to her touch, though her sarcastic tone was played off in his mind by the bewitching features that had captivated him beforehand. He felt a soft trail left by her touch, it sent goosebumps up his spine, but her toxins had not an effect on him as he merely enjoyed her sensual touch. "Not one bit." He cockily retorted, his eyes raising up as their faces where lingered only a short distance again. It was as if the enthrallment of his senses and reason was diminishing the closer she was to him and he held no objections to the deadly sirens call.
Liam knew not of the Batman, he knew of him, but he wasn't involved in any side of the power ploy in his adopted home, nor any other city. His own free hand rose up to her chin, as he felt his thumb brush gently over soft skin. Perhaps it was the ambition of the snake, the dark cunning within every serpent as he felt his face drain slightly with his coming words. His features unknown to him had become much more pale, his cheek bones much higher and his face seemed to loose all traces of fat as his eyes curved into a true snake like fashion to match the slits. All he needed was for his nose to disappear and he would've truly looked like a snake/human hybrid. "Are you scared of me?" He purred out in a much darker tone of his Irish accent, the words rolling off a contorted tongue that from his few words showed to have contorted into a fork, along with fangs replacing canines.
His skin truly gave her no indication nothing had even changed really it was just him enjoying her fingers running up his face down to his shoulder. It caused her to know she couldn't exponentially harm him from contact.. he was strong among plants. This is what truly mattered, his snakes.. they could mingle in them could they not? Without truly harming them, she could use him.. as he could use her to learn. Would it not be the right thing? Was he not new at his powers? He was wearing civilian clothing, it just made her curious as her her eyes scanned over him. Vine like fingers holding taut there, poison seeping, seemingly.. nothing at all. Interesting, well, she knew her contact wouldn't have mattered at this point. Her eyes watching him staring, seeing as he had given her the reply she wanted to hear. This gave her some recklessness, her vengeance on gotham her need to fill he city with plant life. He could help her.. she could help him, her fingers remained on his face. A gem of sorts that walked into her abode huh?
Ivy was bold, often when she contacted men they died right before her crumbled into nothing.. sunken faces of mess. Their skin black, riddled with nothing but decay, the only thing left were their bodies.. so they were lingered underneath them littered. Much like a black widow, now they remained at rest feeding her children.. giving them knowledge she desired.. that they deserved. Seeing everything sink, curve, he became more frail.. poor thing. Did that effect his eating habits? Curiously, Ivy's fingers traced up his cheek, it was still soft her head tilted as she grinned. "I can pretend I am?" She said, playfully, her fingers gently pushing his shoulders, "Oh no~ Scary." She poised feigning, the woman walking away her eyes glancing behind him. "What ever am I to do~" She said, her fingers lingering around the plant.. yet she kept her ode to no veins only the flowers lingered up her arm. "Take this..~" She said throwing flower petals at him.. they did nothing.
Frail couldn't have been further from the truth, Liam's body was strong, his bones for one stronger then any human. Cheek fat was wasted on him. Liam still had no intention of helping anyone, good or evil. He wanted answers and the truth, that is why he came to America. All fucked up shit came from America, right? He let out a good humored laugh as she pretended to be scared and sat up as she walked away, his own frame rising up to it's towering height as his silts fell down on her frame shamelessly as she walked. When he was embraced with the rain of petals, he merely raised a brow. Was this a custom of some kind?
Not feeling so sure of himself, Liam did have modest control over his powers as he rose up his left hand. "And you take this?" He kind of asked in his unsureness, his fingers twisting as his hand came to soon resemble a collection of small snakes and with a flick of his wrist they flew out of his skin and at her, their tails revealing them to be rattlesnakes as his hand was revealed again with the total of nine snakes flying at her to either fall on to the ground or coil around her with modest hisses and tail rattles. Now if only he could figure out what the petals did....
He was frail in that instance definitely, she noticed it but it didn't deter her from feeling like he couldn't rip her in half if she didn't want to now did she? She was trying to figure out things herself if she couldn't figure it out she found answers. Yet, she what she truly wanted was leverage to consume gotham in plants.. he would be that leverage with a fair exchange of course. As much as she was.. bitter she was also sweet she would make sure he would feel comfortable in her presence among all the children. They were prideful in their beauty, to share it would be maybe just beyond an honor. Hopefully he seen the beauty in rapturing everything in flora and possibly his own children.. it would be beautiful. One always did say the serpent was hidden in the grass. It was one of those restless theories she pondered as he stood there not sure of himself.
Despite him not being so sure, she was amused in the factor of play as the snakes wrapped around her arm, Ivy only stared at them, lovely, now would they bite her was the only question? Her eyes scanned over them as she pondered if her home was going to be littered with them by the end of this interaction. Jeez, that could be bothersome if this didn't go the way she wanted. "Cute." She mused, her arm hardly bothered by it, her figure approaching as she stopped across from him her right arm was still consumed in the snake as her other was consumed in more flower petals. Right hand reaching she'd throw more petals at his face with her left hand. Her fingers shortly tangling up his chest her eyes scanning up. "Didn't realize how tall you were.." The tone in her voice soft, sultry, her right hand feeling up the curves of his muscles lingering.
Raising up on her tippy toes the woman's head curved up, hair coiling to the upper middle of her back, "I have something for you.." She said softly, offering him his children. It was his wasn't it? She didn't know what to do with them. Who knew, she was just trying to lure him in make him want to stay.
He didn't see how she found it cute, but the rattlesnakes didn't bite her, many simply slithered off to explore as the anaconda had done. To which it had come down from the vines with their movement and was relaxing itself in the cool water, only two of the snakes remained upon her and when she almost offered them up, they merely looked at Liam as if asking his permission to explore as well. A reaction coming was him simply sticking his own forked tongue out, a low hiss sounding as the twosome slithered down Ivy's body to join the bothers in slithering through the flora. "Simply adds to my looks." He retorted to her comment on his height, his eyes falling down her as she placed her hands on his chest.
Her touch brought back the sensation again, the lush shudder that riveted him. He looked down at the one who tip toed up to him, his brow raised again as he pondered her gift. "And what is that?" He asked curiously.
Many had parted from her fingers only two remained as she had offered them, the two snakes looking at him asking for permission it seemed he himself offered some type.. of direction. She didn't know, she could not speak snake she spoke plant exclusively so there was no other reasoning of where this was going. Seeingg the other two leave her hand was freed to place itself on his arm her figure within reach simply. Snakes gone, it seemed lingering with her plant life they had not harmed them.. just mingled with the pretty colored. An added spice it seems, the plant life welcomed it parted for them the sentient ones whom had.. absorbed enough life playfully helped them move through more rotten veins that didn't move because of the simple nature. Ivy's awareness of their location all through the building hive mind of her home. Yet, the only one she remained wary of was the large anaconda lingering above watching them. Albeit, it remained to her promise the thick veins from earlier remained from the far just moving about through each other as she had heard his comment.
Ivy's full lips parting to had another laugh, her fingers up to hold still against his arms her figure pressing into him softly, slowly. Her eyes looking down as her fingers soothed up his stomach. "Stay with me?" She offered, her eyes looking up, head tilting as she stared up. The woman's insanity fitting, making reckless decisions based on her own motivations. Her hands coaxing up, her eyes staring, "It gets lonely here~" She whispered, her fingers now perched on his chest, her eyes looking down. Reckless nature fit for a king as she felt not so much lost, but on par making him on the ropes to join her. To be normal, at least normal among her company as normal as unroll as he could be. It was a fitting offer, a gift of sorts, but who knew it would be a gift. She was just trying to work him into staying with her.. to give gotham the gift of plant life.
He was far from knowledged on Ivy's motivations or her true desires for wanting him there, but the closeness and her soft touch as their bodies met was enough to give him one idea. Given it was a very male and human idea, but it was all he knew of this world and that was something. The natural response of his arm was to entwine it with her waist as his arms became looped around her thin form, holding her as she asked her question to which a slight chuckle echoed from him. "Well.. I think I might be able to do that." She got lonely? It seemed she didn't have his own talent for blending in, perhaps it was true. A little sad even, she was an outcast and unable to live a normal life because of something that happened to her... Or was she born this way? Oh well! A shag is a shag.
Normally if he had been feeling like just winding her up, he would've just suggested getting a cat. But she was intoxicating and he felt one of his hands leave her waist as it came up to her chin to tilt her into facing him directly. His features inched only a short distance from her own. "Well, I think I can help remedy that." He purred out on his forked tongue, his ego stoked definitely as he felt joyous in the lush moment with the flora beauty. His snakes seemingly keeping out of trouble as the rattle snakes explored various plants, while the anaconda she had been worried by simply cooled itself off in the waters still. The temptation in the snake to fall asleep there, but it's eyes fixed on it's dad and the woman still... Waiting... Watching for trouble.
He didn't know what motivated her.. what fueled her it was the one thing she had returned to gotham for.. just go give it what it deserved plant life. It wasn't much to ask for, it's just not rightfor such a beautiful city to not have one single tree. They were beautiful, it would clear up the air, it was something that needed to happen. Her flora wanted more space, they did not like being cooped up here but for now? For now she would be okay with it. When the embrace was returned, a staccato excitement hit the woman. Would he stay? Would he help? It was all those stupid questions running through ivy as her stomach fluttered with excitement. It was far beyond her own, her fingers not moving anymore than they had she remained perched there cuddled with the man. An outcast? No, she could live among man.. those vines they could receded into her skin but she preferred to wear them. She just liked to pose as the girl left out.. when truly she could blend and blend very well. "Even if you just visit frequently.~" She said, her voice simplistic in tone as her fingers moved up to his upper shoulders still looking down.
A Cat? What kind of bullshit was that? Did she look like a cat person? No, she was more or less the spider kind of girl if she had to pick or snakes! It didn't truthfully matter really, she preferred animals over people truthfully. Ivy knew what she wanted and it was him her eyes staring up now as his fingers moved underneath her chin. Lips parting as she breathed in. "Can you?" She asked curiously, an almost 'hopeful' tone. Eyes staring, but the woman was joyous luring him right in. He would be hers, he would be her Joker like harley no? That would be fun to talk to her about.
"I'll visit as often as you want." Or more likely whenever he was down on his luck with the ladies and needed a quickie, but that he'd keep to himself as her hopeful tone rang out to him. It came as some kind of perverse glee to hear it from her, she had seem so strong and motivated before... Now she almost seemed cute in her excitement. "Of course." He cooed to her question as he'd close the gap and take the initiative, he didn't know much about powers and perhaps at first he was a little out of his comfort zone. But Liam knew a thing or two about women, with the area and her settling in, he focused more on the object of his enthrallment and his confidence projected. His lips would meet hers in a bind that would display his immunity to her poisons once again as he'd part her lips with his own in a gentle massage, his forked tongue slipping forward to play with her own.
His finger on her chin dipped down slightly to come back to her back, resting on her upper back while his other hand remained planted upon her curve. His lips eventually parting from hers, only to linger a short distance away as he'd stare directly into her eyes with his emerald silts. "I think I can definitely help you, my darling."
Ivy was as flawed as they came even as powerful as she was when she was tangled with someone she mingled with feelings didn't understand the difference between feelings. Seeing as he'd visit her she'd know this would give her the leverage she wanted to get what she wanted. It would be just that if he had coo'd at her question answering her. She'd grin, it was just a simple reaction, a force of habit whenever someone promised her something. It went past her ..transformation days, hell, she wasn't even born that way as he kissed her. She expected him like everyone else to crumple down into a pile of nothing at all.. and decay into the ground. Here we go, he was immune to it... completely because her lips were the most deadly as some would like to say she'd had been testing him with contact of her own poison the whole time. Fingers tangled on his chest raised gently, feeling, moving as she felt her butterflies grow with excitement.
Lips parting allowing the contact, Ivy just allowed him to take control fingers moving to the middle of his stomach. Staring at his eyes once he pulled away from the small contact they shared.Fingers trailed to move to his face, fingers moving to his cheek holding gently. "First, your name." She said, her fingers lingering down his cheek just simplistically Ivy wanting to keep him.. use him, he could help her bring the reign to gotham she wanted. "I'm Ivy~" She said, her voice soft, confident her hands bold moving down his neck.
He had almost and instantly said, well my name is important you'll be screaming it later... But he resisted the urge and was about to inform her his name was Liam when he heard her say Ivy. Was this some kind of identity thing? He wasn't sure, was this truly her name? It fitted her too well, he couldn't help but be skeptical. Well if she was a plant, then he was a snake and there was one snake that was more powerful then any other. "Basilisk." He was king of the snakes after all, the word rolled off his forked tongue naturally, the snakes ambition dripping off it as he felt something within him stir. He liked that name. To her further excitement, his ego was only stoked further as well as he mused over perverse thoughts in his head.
Gotham was of no interest to him, he wanted only the truth to his origins. Her gentle touch on his face brought him free of his temporary lapse into his own thoughts, his lips moving to catch one of her fingers as his teeth lightly bit it with a smirk lacing wide across his features. He was enjoying their little dance for what he thought it was, two powered beings out to get it on.
Well, he didn't want to be rude now did he? It was okay to be blunt but that blunt? Needless to say he made the right move not really doing that. Ivy was very meticulous, picky even, if she didn't care they would have been dead right off the bat or there would have been a fight one could say. He offered her Basilisk some type of snake god right? Something that came to mind when she was in college at one point the word rolling off his snaked tongue. Her eyes scanning over is face as he had finally liked that name it seemed whatever it was she was sure it was.. random. Giving thought to flame, wasn't that.. a little over bearing? Maybe something with his ego? It was the least of her cares, she wanted to start the flame to make him useful.. to make her babies flourish beyond these four walls with his own help of his ...children. Or stomach bile. She wasn't sure at this point.
While her fingers strolled on his lip he bit into skin, she felt the pinch but his finger was now in her mouth. Ivy's eyebrow raised in curious as he quite actually had him wrapped around her finger. Ivy's hand would receded as she tippy toed to peck him once, "Seems like I have you wrapped around my finger." Her voice sing song playing into the game more, but she was setting up for the long term.. not the short. It would be these small things that would help her get what she wanted.
He felt her peck come and he returned it with the swift motion of his lips pressing back for the brief encounter. Children, they was living and sentient, he simply had a different reproductive system to others. Her words though, something about them he didn't like. He felt the snakes ambition coil inside of him, the venom it spat to the notion was acidic and vile. But he remained composed in his wavering demeanor, he knew what he wanted, he had played her game and now he wanted his reward. "Indeed, but I'd prefer it if you had your legs wrapped around my waist." He purred out, his inner lad finally getting the better of him as he confessed out his built up desire for the hybrid. His teeth lingering down to find her ear as he'd pay her a bite to her lobe, his fangs holding back out of desire not to give her an ear piercing.
Meanwhile his hands on her back slipped down to her rear, gliding over the curve of her form as he'd trail his lips softly over her skin from her ear to press a kiss to the crook of her neck. She may have wanted his power, she may have wanted his abilities and she may have wanted Gotham under her heel... But that long term planning and Liam? He was thinking for the present and how he was gonna leg it afterwards.
This was where Ivy would gain her momentum, her fingers were wrapped around his neck as the peck came the female tangled up with him standing there as she knew there was some sort of chance. How everything settled with a simple blunt tone. He wanted her between him? So she'd just decide to use it to her advantage her fingers coiled down his chest her head tilting to his bite at her eat red tresses tickling against his nose the woman's figure smashed against his simplistically. Poison hadn't done a thing, usually, they'd be dead at this point long gone from the pattern of things. It was odd being tangled with someone simply tangled, but Ivy remained firm in her own desires. To have him wrapped up with her would be nice but it wasn't exactly ideal if he didn't return the favor. "I'd prefer if you stuck around so I can help you hone your abilities..You want a lay and I want what your capable of" She said, her fingers grasping his shirt gently moving her fingers underneath soft fingers running up his flesh as his had moved.
Soft kisses, moving down her figure, it was odd to know he wouldn't die unless she forced a bacterial overgrowth in his lungs. But he was to useful for that, her right hand coursing up his abdomen moving gently. Giving intention, at least some intention Ivy using her body as a tool a method to get what she wanted. It was hardly her care if he wanted to screw her brains out, most died in the process, he would probably be the only one to walk away to say he had his way with Poison Ivy without dying. Fingers didn't move any further the woman curious of his reaction as her hips eased away showing signs of withdrawal, gauging the situation as it was.
It was strange for him as well, his own flesh secreted poisons like her own when endangered. With what happened at the beginning of their encounter, Liam was assured that his skin would be riddled with venom from head to toe. He'd probably have to either bite her or spit poison directly into her eyes or mouth in order to damage her that way... Or turn his snakes and summon up more brutal beasts, like the anaconda that seemed to be giving them some privacy as it's head finally turned and it's eyes shut finally in the sleep it desired. "Seems like a fair trade, it would be nice to... Be the true king of the serpents, queen of plants." He mused out in a purr, he had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain, he had no desire to use his powers at all. But lying to a woman to trick her into bed... It was a skill that he was well trained in.
Her touch was so enticing, he almost couldn't help himself. When her hips backed off slowly, he took a step forward to close any forming gaps with his hand upon her rear firming up to hold her in place. Of course, if she truly wanted to break free of the tangle they was in, she would have. His head arose from the crook of her neck, but came only to rest his forehead against hers as he'd peer down at her, his emerald silts gauging her as she did him. It seemed to be a battle of what they wanted, but would she conceed for the chance to get what she desired? Gotham, the world? Nothing that Liam wanted at all.
Poison Ivy was powerful had spent years honing herself, her abilities, simplistic things like poison didn't phase her but his anacondas strength? They would definitely, to be contained unable to move would be her downfall. Why would she upset someone so useful? Someone who could help her show the miracles of plant life to all those whom deserved it while the others burned in the ground feeding the more sentient life.. the superior life. The more she was caught up in her vengeance the more reckless she became Poison Ivy mistaking things for lust into love often times mixing this intense need to show batman what truly meant of this world meant putting things on the line such as her body even so it's not like she had any intention of letting something like him go. He gave her reasoning.. but it wasn't good enough; Ivy's eyes stared back her fingers simple on his stomach not moving as she eased off him by almost a foot in silence.
As much as she had done so, he took a step forward his grasp on her behind making her step into hold her in place without much second hold. Did she want to break free? No, truly not because it was rare she could truly enjoy herself with someone as often times they died sickly.. horribly. As insane as she was she was still humane, but she also had a agenda. An agenda which was far more important than her personal life, brittle, and decayed as it was. Fingers underneath his shirt, moved up to his shirt, moving along up his back feeling, massaging. "Then you won't leave..~" Her voice was simple, rather contained twisted, veins rushed towards the door, many veins, breaking from the ceiling almost torrentially. They dashed past both of them leaving this thick wall of vines, brick, bark, earth even submerging in between as the ground below them shifted.
The wall thick, veins building upon the door.. the only entrance keeping it far from access it would be days.. maybe even months unless he found a way to subdue Ivy. Was that really what he wanted? Everything getting more complex by the second as the game continued. Stipulations upon stipulations, her right hand now grasping his spin forcing him close to her her lips closing on his neck, biting down softly, in a series of levels until it was hard. Left hand gracing his pictorial underneath his shirt as she caught him with her own series of bites.
Liam's eyes went as wide as his silts would allow as she barricaded them in her little paradise, he was almost too stunned to register her bite or advances on his body as his cheeks came out again. His features returned to looking very human as only his snake like eyes seemed to remain in the end as he pulled himself off her rather quickly and stepped back. "The fuck..." Was all he could muster as the sudden movement of plant and earth caused the anaconda to raise it's head and give a threatening hiss as the sound of many small rattlesnakes rattling their tails also filled the air. Liam was god smacked, point at the door that had been closed away from him as his jaw hung low in shock. "Now... I've done some pretty strange stuff for a shag... But you, Psycho Tits are crossing the line."
He marched straight past her and towards the door, bewildered by how compact it was... he doubted he would be able to move it without her stopping him, he wasn't that strong unless it was constricting. "Jesus, woman! If you're this lonely, get a cat or try internet dating!" He declared as he turned around, throwing his arms up in the air for a second before they flopped down to his sides, his features exasperated before he suddenly saw. She had powers and was trying to trap him, this wasn't some moody bitch who just wanted him to call her back. "Open the door." He demanded, a anger filling him as he rose his hand again to point again, at her this time as his mood seemed to change very quickly.
The shirt she had once roamed her hands under moving again, his skin contorting as from under the fabric two new faces appeared, two anacondas where coming from his body, one from his stomach and the other from his back. Though still attached to him, they seemed real and already where hissing at Ivy like their brethren in the pool.
[9/12/2015 3:50:27 AM] Boo: Well, a change occurred in the moment he had given her the barricade taken away from the point he noticed it was enough for him to pull himself off her as she raised an eyebrow. An entitled stare one that didn't say she regretted her choice nor anything else it. It just told her one thing, maybe he was useless.. he didn't mean it certainly either. Ivy was reckless definitely far from the normal female. Right hand resting on her hip, her eyes scanned over he had to keep in mind they were in her territory... she didn't think of it that way. All she knew she was being warned at that point the separation between them left her frowning. "Mn~ I don't think so." She said, her voice simple rather straight to the point as she had glanced over to him moving past her. It was thick, very thick, how was he going to deal with that anyway?
It was very compact, he couldn't movie t without anything as he had now shouted about her trying internet dating and a cat? Wow, that was pretty sultry. She'd see his person gains were more than his own desires. It made sense, but that made him useless. Ivy raised an eyebrow, "No." Was the simple answer in return, the green of the plants turned pink as well as the ground it seemed as more vines gathered about tingling tightly. It was intense, motionless, Ivy's figure moved to the right.
"You will earn your freedom then." There was venom in her voice, the woman was far beyond the normal. She was sick in her brain, "Or you will be buried with my babies..~ To think I could have trusted you" She said softly, her right hand extending thousands of veins waited for him to attack, "Or you can do this the easy way and stick with your bargain." She said, her hand coiling, vines dancing up her arm.
vines* <--- Lazy Liam is lazy.
Well, this was unexpected... He'd kinda forgotten in his rage that this was her home after all. It didn't matter, he wasn't going to be her toy. His tongue coiled out in a hiss before retreating, it was only a moment later that his mouth opened up again before erupted in what could explained only as explosive vomiting. What was truly happening though that a hoard of snakes was being unleashed from his mouth towards Ivy, cobras, pythons and other breeds galore where sent from Liam's withering stomach in a march of slithers and hisses. The anacondas where ready as well as they detached and slithered free on to the floor, the whole army ready at Poison Ivy and more where still coming. Little over two hundred snakes already and Liam showed no sign of stopping.
[9/12/2015 4:13:15 AM] Boo: Ivy wasn't going to show remorse, it wasn't her style if he didn't want to be with her he wouldn't be with anyone. It was a simple matter to be resolved he had his choice now he would be disposed of properly. It would be a quick and painful death, nothing to be of matter with it. Maybe then she could hone something out of his essence for her children. It was sad it had to come down to that though. Ivy's right hand sat on her waist as she watched him puke on an onslaught almost periodically seeing maybe four or more snakes from from his mouth.
Suck it had to come from his mouth though, she couldn't imagine what his stomach looked like. Right hand would leave her hip as she stared at all of them readied. "It's sad, I liked you too.." She coo'd her right hand flicking the snakes being tangled in thick vines, coiled, squished in them preventing them from moving. Ivy on the other hand was just... relentless keeping her promise to a smooth death. No reason beyond killing him for a name stake she would just use his body to create a plant snake thing maybe. She didn't know, figuring it out would come with time.
Right hand extending the veins at ready and from the wall behind lashed at him, pierced him in every possible direction at once like stakes. Once he had been.. pulverized by thousands of veins the woman merely flicked her wrist they all pulled back at once dropping his so called corpse. Lips pursing into a slight frown, "I hate doing that to the nice ones.." She grumbled, as one long vein climbed up to her arm, her nose nuzzling into it. "Don't you?" She purred, lips gracing the vein.
vine* <--- Still lazy.
The embrace of thorns was painful but quick, Liam could feel his blood cementing the ground as his body riveted with pain. Had it really come to this? Killed because he was chasing a rat... Fucking Americans. He felt his body drop with the vines retreating, he could hear his snakes hiss out as the smaller biters where caught up and forced to wait as the much larger constrictors came to tangle with the vines to their rescue. They didn't come for Liam though... Like they knew something he didn't. Liam hit the ground hard, he felt the blood pour but at the same time he felt it stop. He had felt this strange sensation before, the first time he shed his skin as a young man. He had awoken to the feeling of his skin flaking off him, like a real snake...
Moments of hissing passed as would leave it to believe for Ivy he was truly dead before it happened. From Liam's lifeless mouth, a single hand reached out. Drenched in venom like the first anaconda had been and blood like a newborn, from there so did a second as it pried his dead mouth open, tearing at the lifeless skin as what came to be was a naked and unharmed Liam crawling his way out of his ruined skin. Coughing as he crawled, he felt his lungs splutter out as he felt the warm atmosphere again his soaking body. His cold blood relishing in the heat.
He was alive? His eyes came up to see his would be killer, his silts fixated for a moment as he came to stand finally and point at her again. His manhood on show for all due to his clothes still being on his dead skin. "Ha! Another ace up my sleeve, can't kill me, Psycho tits!" He declared joyfully, sounding rather surprised himself as his snakes seemed to give a joyous hiss to their lord and father being declared in good health.
Of course it was painful, considering thousands of thick veins were just going through him into him s he had dropped to the ground she just stared at all the blood on the ground. Vines came up sapping it, drinking from it as she had tilted her head n his direction waiting for the moment where she could scoop up the body after killing all the snakes. It was sad she had to, she enjoyed them as she kept her fingers along the vines that shortly grew into a venus fly trap looking creature her head nuzzling with it's as she scanned at the larger ones tried to content with the vines. It was odd how they didn't rescue him.. but she disregarded it. "We'll scoop up the body later.. feed you." She said stroking under it's chin as it danced up her arm. The woman letting go of the situation completely.
Hearing someone shouting? His voice? Turning, her eyes scanned over his face staring as he sputtered out into the open.. from that attack. Great, he learned how to molt. See, there was some good in this after all. It just sparked her desire to keep him alive even more. Turning, she'd raise an eyebrow, "Oh, you learned how to molt, Cute." She said, her voice simple passive on it as she finally turned in his direction raising an eyebrow.
"You didn't even know you had that trick up your sleeve, Bas." She said, simply, her voice flat, no tone what so ever. Amused though, she was amused her psychosis making her switch between docile and sweetness it seemed. The display of power just made her not want to make him leave at all.
She had him there, his hand balled up into a fist as he cursed it with an annoyed look on his face. First things first though, he had his children to help. Storming forward towards the vines that had trapped his children, he'd merely give a low hiss that was all the encouragement they needed as one by one they started to wriggle their way free. The ones that found themselves not so easily set free threatening the nature with their fangs as the army dispersed out into the garden and truly did fill the flora with life. Storming off again, the two anacondas remained by Liam's side as he marched his way towards the water to join the third, not caring much as he boldly strode his naked body into the crisp waves and merely rag dolled.
The water washed over his stained body, cleansing off the venom and blood to which the trio joined him as as for when he sat up with his curls sticking to his face, they immediately all curled around their farther. "Powers... Who fucking asked for them...? What do you even want with me? All I ever wanted was a normal life and to find out why I am like this... Maybe it was wrong to just try and seduce you for a shag, but... What do you want with me, Ivy? Aside from my good looks and obviously well endowed penis."
It was enough to get a rise out of her as he had managed to get shit out and enough the other snakes freed. It hardly bothered her, the veins even receded for them a bit she enjoyed seeing them struggle a little. It was always fun watching someone struggle; she was quiet as he was getting shit situated with himself. It was fine, everyone needed space right? It's not like he was going anywhere for a while. Turning away the woman merely mingled with the venus fly trap creature. A silent communication between her touch and it her fingers moving over it as it's veins were dug into Liam's blood.
Once he had stormed off past her, her eyes glanced over her shoulder towards him her eyes glancing over to the large fountain as he just.. laid in it. Odd, wouldn't one use the mouth of the lion to bathe? She was lost and confused. The woman acted as if she did nothing wrong all together as she shrugged and settled back to petting the creature in front of her. Her fingers stroking along the venus fly traps oval head the large teeth growing it's size.. doubling over time.
Yet she herself turned, listening to his next statement her right hand rested on her hip a she listened to him his asking. Statements, she could have lied to him and told him she just wanted to scare him a little but that was beyond her streak, "I didn't ask for mine. Freak accident in a lab." She said simply in return, her fingers stroking over the plant it's vines moving up her arm and waist embracing her. "I want to show gotham what we can do, love." Her fingers stroking down the head of the now snapping plant. "We can paint gotham how we want it..~" She said softly, "The largest of snakes and the tallest of trees for them to tangle themselves in.. your babies having a home rather than in hiding." She said, her voice almost a coo as she spoke to her plant rather than him.
Her fingers coaxing along the length of the veiny leaves, softly, running over it the veins glowing pink the top of the venus fly traps head growing pink also with some red, "No need to worry about blending.. just being normal with the embrace of your own powers.." She said, her figure coaxing the venus fly trap to follow it only tangled it's self around her waist before it let her go as she stopped as the fountain sitting next to him. Gently she splashed him in the face, "Intentions will be intentions~" She purred, her fingers moving to her cheek. "Plus, It's not like I can get laid often with poison killing people right after that next one. I'd keep you around for sex but sadly I also have other things to worry about too, Bas." She said casually crossing her legs as she flicked her fingers adjusting the mouth of the tiger plant thing to pour water on his head.
His head bowed slightly as the water poured down on him, he avoided her features as he merely stared at his reflection. "I never wanted any of this, Ivy... I just wanted to know why I was born this way." He sighed out, his snakes coiling and hissing around him as the silts he held as eyes shut off for the moment. Should he do it? Actually use his powers for something? This green she was talking about...? He liked civilization though, his warm bed and TV, plus who would make his beer if they took over the world!? Maybe there was another way, but perhaps learning to control his abilities would be worth something if it helped him find the truth. "You're asking a lot of a stranger." He finally concluded, his eyes opening as he turned his head to finally look at her as the passing water continued to plaster his curls on to his skin. A rather blank expression crossing him as his trio of children all also rose their heads to stare at the mother of nature.
Ivy wasn't really interested in the story he had she wanted to create one like that was spoken of earlier. Ivy's right hand tapped on her knee as she tilted her head in his general direction the woman sitting on the edge of the fountain not within the water. Right hand supporting her weight as she leaned there, "Can't help what you already have." She said, her right hand moving coiling, vines shortly growing out of the woman's arm when her fingers flexed her skin briefly turned grin to eject late pink vines coiling around her fingers as she moving her fingers about in a circle staring at the colors. Where was he going with this? She was getting slightly impatient, but she didn't show it not after the little spat they had with her killing him ..for him to molt she'd rather not get out of hand with her own selfishness.
Ivy glanced over her shoulder in his direction, the woman's right hand finally letting off her weight as her left foot dipped into the water as she faced him eyes scanning over his face staring at what seemed to be blank. Nothing there, so to speak, Ivy's right hand placed in between her as she leaned to face him. "I am not actually." She said, her voice in return, sweet, sultry alluring almost as she tilted her head.
"I'm not saying to show gotham the green and snakes right away.." She said, her voice patient, her right hand curling the woman's fingers allowing the vines to dance up her arm. "I'm patient, Bas. I can help you learn about your powers, maybe I can work with you to find it's origins, no?" She said, her fingers curling into a fist as the vines dropped into nothing just attaching themselves onto the seated part of the fountain. As she had done so, the fountain began to have striations of pink gently growing along it's outside.
He leaned back again, a gentle hiss leaving his lips as the anacondas surged through the water, though they wasn't aiming to attack or anything of the sorts. They seemed to coil around one and other, twisting into place as they cushioned Liam and allowed him to lay in the pool without being fully submerged. His eyes just watched the flowers and plants, the tints of pink flaring up as he stared at nothing in particular now. It was a lot to take in, considering today he had just packed in a day at the GCPD and was on his way home. What was this madness? A sigh left his lips as his eyes closed again for the moment, weighting up the options in his head. "I work for the GCPD... If I just disappear, they'll look for me. On top of that, I need food and other things to survive. Even if I was to stay here, you'd have to understand I need to keep up appearances."
It was as close as he was going to get, Ivy knew this crazy world of powers, she had connections he didn't. Perhaps he could use them, perhaps he could reach out to others and uncover the truth via her. Either way, learning how to control his powers wasn't something he was going to sniff at. "If you can accept that, then I agree to the deal." He finally answered as he opened his eyes again to the flora delight, once again staring at nothing as his hands came up to rest on the skin of his bare stomach. The water softly splashing around his form as a few of the other snakes from before started to come to it's edge to investigate, some surveying the area while others quenched their thirst. "You'll need to find food for these guys as well."
Ivy wasn't tell hell bent about it she was trying to configure things make things work for him as well her. Something mutually beneficial, even if he didn't want to do anything with gotham it was still a step forward for his trust. Something to get him motivated to do her interest in the greater picture as she placed her fingers underneath her chin. Green eyes stared at him as she focused on his face trying to give some insight into his mind. What was running through it? She didn't have any insight as she had cusped her chin eyes staring. GCPD? Lovely, that wasn't exactly bad either it gave her.. notes on Batman his location this could actually work. "..I understand the need to keep up appearances." She said, her voice simplistic understanding.. sultry.
Poison Ivy's hips adjusted the foot in the water moving to have another as both feet were soaking within her ankles gently crossed over one another as her right hand reaching to one of the snakes her fingers gently coiling around it as it climbed up her arm. "I can sweeten this for you.." She said softly, her voice seductive almost rolling off the words. "I'll keep your children safe out of harms way and well fed among the veins where they feel at home it seems." Leaning forward, the woman's curvy hips adjusting back her right hand moving the snake forward betwixt her knees as her thumb gently curled over it's head. Gently, her finger curled over the head of the creature staring down at it before her eyes glanced up to him.
"In return, for that.. you return to check up on them for now we will.. keep it mutual, no?" She said, her right hand curling the scary door bit slowly dismantling, exposing the door which he came in. Granting him the freedom he craved her fingers coaxing over the head of the sentient creature eyes locked on him. "If you feel the need to learn something then we work on it at your pace. Needless to say, you spitted out hundred of children I doubt your land lord will appreciate them.." She said, giving him another insight.. the problem of having many snakes now.
Oh how she would be disappointed to hear he was just a filing clerk, however he was often handling files for major case squads and that did often cover a lot of the instances involving Batman. Perhaps it could work for her even better, that was if he even cared for helping her by the end of this. The snakes ambition was strong, it weaved it's way through his veins and oozed into his blood. "Then I accept the deal." He finally came to answer, his snakes all giving a little hiss, seeming to understand the conversation to a degree as they started to explore their new home a little closer now. The anacondas didn't move however, nor the cobra that Ivy had entwined her attention with. Liam on the other hand merely rose up, water dripping from his cleansed form as finally the anacondas parted and went their separate ways. "I'll take the shag after I've dried off." He teased, giving a retort to her sultry tone in his own comedic, Irish flirtation.
Wading through the water, he stepped out of the pool and past her, clearly not shy of his manhood as he sat with his back to the water beside her, eyes staring out on to the luscious floor. "Really worked out well for you, me stumbling in here like this." He muttered out with a sigh, he still didn't like it... Powers and all. He wanted to be normal, to go down the pub and work till he met the right woman and stopped sleeping around. To think he could try and just bed such a strange woman... He shook his head slightly as his curls dispelled a small amount of water, sticking back up slightly. When his gaze adjusted up, he looked on to the shedding that use to be him. The discarded shell still wearing his clothes... Well at least he still would be able to get dressed after this. At least his children would be safe... At least he would have someone to share this hardship all with and if it was mutual and the deal was still the same... He was getting laid.
Ivy crossed her legs her foot gently kicking up water here and there her eyes staring at her toes, the odd spirals of flora moving through her leg giving an odd veiny look of small vines climbing up her legs almost like a tattoo aesthetically pleasing moving up her sun kissed skin. Eyes staring down she had waited for his reply, his reaction but when he finally answered to accept? The woman felt excitement, even if she had to work this in baby steps she had noticed the smaller snakes take their leave in her home. She'd glance at the one on her arm slide down into the weeds her eyes scanning over it as she stretched her fingers before they closed into a fist. A grin on her face as she finally heard him admitting he still wanted a piece of ass. Her eyebrow raised as she just raised an eyebrow. She'd remain silent for a moment as she just ended up laughing as she herself turned her feet out of the fountain her figure lying down on the edge of the fountain stretching her head resting on her arm.
"Worked out well for me?" She said, her voice soft, her eyes staring at him from the crook of her arm n her laid position. Ivy taken a lazy pose as she grinned in his direction it complimented her appearance the sweeter side of the woman. "It has but I have also made an acquaintance and also gave my children friends.." She said simplistically, the woman wasn't exactly making him take over gotham either. It was a simple deal, she housed his snakes and he would return to check on them.It wasn't hard, but in Ivy's mind she had won. Her laziness just came with the good fortune and often times she in her abode enjoyed the feeling of flora underneath her skin.
It had been a long night before Liam finally retreated from Ivy's lair, answering her questions with simple shrugs and gestures before he finally found himself back in the confines of his humble abode. It felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, everything was leaning on him all of a sudden and now this strange vixen was offering him to help him control his powers... What next? He didn't know exactly what she meant... To show Gotham the green and the snakes... She wanted to take over the city? Maybe it would do the city some good, but what about the people of the city? What about them? Did they have a new place in this utopia she wished to create?
It was hours before Liam could finally fall asleep.
In the morning as his alarm blared, he could feel his energy drained so much from the day before. A quick phone call in and a sick day was in order as Liam closed his silts to the world again, only awaking when he felt the sun rise up to his high rise studio and wake him up once again. His head was pounding, he had sat up to rub the sleep from his eyes and brush his curls out of his face. Did he dare even return to her? The mad woman? Surely if he just let it be she would just let him be? She wasn't that crazy was she...?
Disguise, he didn't think she could do such a thing but she could it wasn't hard to pull the vines into her skin with enough sunlight her skin could become more of a normal 'tanned' tone. It was enough for the woman to look normal enough to follow one snake that seemed to want out of the warehouse. Glancing down the woman noticed the snake bouncing wanting to go back to it's father it seemed. it was a cobra? A rebellious of the bunch? It only made her smirk, this little guy wanted to go home now did he? "Just wait one second, lovely. We'll visit your father." She said, her voice casual, the snake seemed to understand as it patiently wrapped itself up. Waiting for her to return to leave, she'd leave to what seemed to be her room personally on a platform. The woman's right hand making a long stair of crystalline sugar her figure casually climbing up it as her fingers rode along the railing.
Approaching what seemed to be a small bag, the woman pulled on some fitted jeans with disgust. "Can't remember the last time I bothered with clothing." The female grumbled as a white bra and tank top were fitted snugly, barefoot she walked up to the snake her fingers reaching to the creature, "Shall we go?" She said, the snake lifting it's head staring shaking refusing her fingers. "Oh a leader type." She said purring amused as her foot opened the door the snake slithering out leading the others.. hardy bothered enjoying their new home. The woman closing the door behind her vines locking everything within. Casually, as she walked the vines on her skin disappeared the woman's hair skin becoming more of a sun kissed color. Photosynthesis, repairing as she had followed the snake leading the way it seemed to rush excitedly following what seemed for it to know exactly where he was.
After some odd time of walking she found it rearing up, hissing at an certain window, "Hm? How to get up there." She mused, finally offering her hand this time the snake coiled up to her shoulders. Amused as she was the woman climbed up the fire escape rather than using her powers.. gave way for her disguise. Approaching the window, the snake picked a certain one out by hissing dramatically. Turning on her heel, she'd merely laugh, "Smart thing you are." She said, her voice soft, her fingers now lifting.. the unlocked window to climb through closing it behind her. Seeing he was still asleep, the woman easily mused around his apartment as he'd wake to a cobra moving towards his bed happily to see him.
That was just what he needed, as he wiped the sleep from his eyes he was greeted to the sight of one of his king cobras looking very happy to see him as he merely stared at the serpent that stuck it's tongue out as it proceeded to slither up it's father's arm and around to his neck. Not that Liam was displeased to have the young snake happily around him, hissing in contentment, but if one of the snakes had followed him home... Then that meant. Shame on him for thinking he could just leave her and everything else behind as he turned his eyes from a blank stare and tilted around till he saw her... Looking much different. He much rather preferred her natural look in all honesty, but that was the least of his worries. The cold wind blowing in from his open window brisked through the room, his studio was hardly nothing compared to her paradise. A sofa bed, TV, basic kitchen, the toilet and a cage full of mice was all he really had. Something that caught the serpents attention as it stared out at the squeaking rodents.
"Ivy." Was his singular welcome to her as he rose up out of his bed, having only worn boxers to bed his scarred torso and skinny frame was freely on display. He slightly ignored her, a habit of having just woken up as he slumped out of bed and dragged himself towards the cage. She had seen him eat before and it wasn't like he cared for much, she was in his home. He picked open the top of the cage and reached in, taking out one mouse that he merely knelt down to let scurry on to the floor, the cobra around his snake looking up as Liam gave a low hiss that ended up in the snake slithering from his form and starting a chase with the now petrified rodent. Now to feed himself as he rose back up and picked up a second mouse, closing the cage as he turned to face her. His tongue tongue slipping out as he placed it on to the muscle, wrapping the animal up before his jaw twitched to dislocate as the tongue recoiled the swallow the creature whole.
All the while, his silt like eyes stared lazily at her, questions rummaging through his head though held back by the laziness of the morning. The mouse clearly going down his throat as a lump, before it disappeared into his stomach to be digested. His jaw twitching back into place. "What are you doing here?" He finally asked with a small breath as he stretched out his skinny form, bones giving an audible click as he did.
Poison Ivy was recourseful there was a reason why she loved to have those snakes in her home it kept her linked to him. They would want to visit them none the less, this one in particular was a rebel and didn't like being away from him. Ivy was musing asa plant in his window that didn't.. look okay, with her right hand reaching out the vines curled around her fingers and it came to life within seconds. It was growing petals, beautiful blues and pinks, it wasn't poisonous but exotic,t he striations having these intense oranges as her eyes stared at it for the moment her right hand pulling away as she turned to face him as he spoke to her. Ivy's right hand curling to rest on her hips as she stared at him from afar her eyes staring at him as she tilted her head in his direction. Eyes idle scanning over his face as she did not say much of anything.
The extended hand at the plant flicked once more s it's petals breached high and healthy again. Her fingers falling to the side, "Bas." She said, in return, her voice simple rather straight to the point. The woman was hardly crazy at the moment it seemed. She merely just returned his child to him. Watching the snake and cobra go to play with their prey she'd merely place a hand underneath her chin musing in their chase. Adorable, she loved preying on the weak sometimes her eyes would dart back to Liam seeing him.. eat a snake. Well, that was.. disgusting all at the same time interesting seeing his jaw snap. Giving incentive for him to just swallow the live animal whole. Lovely.
Yet, she'd lean on the wall across from him, her eyes looking up to his superior height as she laughed, "I promised to take good care of your kids." She said, her voice idle, "One wanted to be with you so I made sure he came safely without any suspicion." She said to him, her right hand soothing hair back from her right ear. Eyes watching with delight, curiousity, "You have a lovely home, but your plant needs to be watered.. it didn't like the neglect." she said again, this time a little more serious but playful.
Shaking his head as his child Cobra slithered around, chasing the mouse under the bed where a small squeak, hidden from sight signaled the end of the chase. Like that was the whole truth. He didn't mind much for the plant that she was talking about, in all honesty he had forgotten he had one. "To be honest, that was there when I moved in. I thought it was rubber." He shrugged off, his form slugging itself back to bed as he flopped his skeletal frame back down on the sofa mattress. His eyes briefly remained on the plant as he rested his hands behind his head, letting a yawn slip free before a burp from his previous meal slipped up. "So you're still here then?" He asked curiously, his brow raised as he shuffled slightly in his boxers for comfort. Hmm. Comfy.
Poison Ivy was focused the task at hand, as he had finally lost interesting the moment the woman raise an eyebrow as she had gotten quite agitated over his comment about the plant. How could he ignore such a precious thing? It had been crying for weeks maybe! She followed him passive aggressively her figure hoping onto the bed. "How could you think such a thing?" She said, her voice harsh as she approached him. The woman's fit for insanity as she sat on top of him her fingers pressing down on his shoulder her aggression showing, agitation. "It was dying!" She shouted at him, the woman's fingers resting harmful, but again the poison didn't do anything to him as she was merely straddled there. Realizing, she couldn't kill him by conventional.. usual means, hell, it was.a habit to just touch for a kill. This time she couldn't, once he said the next thing he said Ivy scoffed.
Her figure rolling off him as she rose, her fingers soothing out her hair with her fingers her eyes staring over at him as she had tried to reign her own anger. She needed him, she couldn't get to mad at him. Not just for something as so dumb, finally she just shook her head the woman's figure rising as she glanced to the bed where underneath two snakes were coiled w it dinner. Whom had one that one she pondered. Yet, her fingers coaxed through her hair as vines finally exposed themselves along her skin the sun-kissed tone becoming slightly more pale jaundice.
Liam had been surprised by her sudden desire to straddle him, he was use to angry women, but most women didn't react this way when angry. Most simply hit the other, but what was this supposed to be? Hate sex? The thought of poison was far from his mind as she scowled at the woman who simply looked up with bewilderment at her clearly crazy demeanor. He didn't say anything to her remarks about the plant, just best to leave it forgotten as she rolled off him and started to revert back to her original look. A grin slowly caressing his features. "I prefer you like that, less clothes as well." He remarked as he turned himself slightly on the bed to view her, silts staring shamelessly at her rear as he propped up an elbow to hold his head up in his hand.
The cobra that had lead her here slowly slithering out of the dark crevice to her feet, as it lazily curled around her toes. A large lump in it's stomach indicating what it had just done as it lazily rested and let it's tongue fly out.
Liam had gotten the best of her right there, the woman was sensitive about the plant life she was.. vengent her anger was just something many didn't invoke like that. Sighing, she'd just try to figure shit at the moment she was.. tired of all the bullshit. All she wanted was for him to help her take over gotham show them how to do what needed to be done. It wasn't like she was trying to hurt him any.. at least not anymore. He was more useful alive, the thoughts pondered through her mind in the sudden silence. Ivy's right hand moving through red strands of slightly long but short hair pressing it behind her ear she'd heard his next comment.It made her more agitated causing her to turn on her heel. Slowly, vines consumed her her skin having the regular pale tan with the various vines translucent in her skin as she growled at him, "Really?" The woman said in a fury, he had just harmed something so precious.. intentionally just to piss her off more.
Gently she moved her foot from underneath the snake, her eyes glancing to it, as she looked back to him her figure approaching him as she pushed him over. "What's your deal, Bas?" She said, her fingers pressing onto the bed as she perched on the edge of it staring down at him, agitation apparent on her features. She just wanted to shut him up all together, there was no way of doing that. Knowing she couldn't be rid of him stung but also knowing he was to useful made her stick around. "I don't.. understand.I don't STOMP on your children." She said to him frowning, pouting almost.
As she pushed him over, Liam's skinny frame did a small roll as he was shocked by the sudden assault and cried out in his thick Irish accent. "Stop fucking hitting me!" He declared out loudly, something that seemed to earn a knock on the thin wall as another man called out to the scene. "Everything alright in there, Liam?" The man called as a Liam staring at Ivy with slight shock and vexation merely cleared his throat and called back. "All good, Bob. Just a one night stand that's a bit kinky." He retorted loudly to the coming laugh as the man deemed Bob apparently was satisfied with this.
As she came in closer, he merely met her stare as he bit his lip a moment before snarling out in a rather snake like hiss. "I didn't know, I thought it was rubber! It was already dying before I noticed! Besides, I didn't buy it, it was already here." He retorted, he hadn't done anything to intentionally annoy her as he shuffled back on his bed to back off from her slightly, crazy broad. The cobra joined in with it's dad, at first so kindly to Ivy it also hissed and bore it's fangs, alas it wasn't able to move much due to the bulge still slowly creeping down it.
Liam rolled shocked even, she didn't care he deserved it he shouldn't have ignored it.. he should have noticed it dammit. Her lips curled into a pout again as he yelled back at her she merely retaliated. "No." She said, her right hand slamming on the bed with her knee moving on it. Hearing someone, call him Liam? So that was his name, now she had more momentum. At least some, the shock in his voice was enough for her as she crossed her arms. One night stand? A settled sullen stare came from the female as this 'Bob' guy was satisfied with his reaction.
She'd finally stare at him for a minute or two, her shoulders tense the woman's fingers intensely tapping on her arm as she paced er right hand soon enough reached of shoulder forcing him near her. Ignoring the snake, her anger was something she never really dealt with because she usually killed someone and left it at that. Right hand gathering hair, she merely just kissed him. Agitated, she couldn't express anything other than just taking it out on him. The woman's fingers tangled tightly, Ivy's actions beyond the normal.. female, the highs and lows mingled with her insanity.
With her just standing there for a few minutes, Liam did try a few things. He edged closer and rose up a bit, waving his hand in front of her face. He was curious and slightly worried that his studio was about to become the Brazilian rain forest. But just before he could move out of the way and go to get the Christmas decorations to stick on her, he found himself grabbed and locked in a kiss. Her curls bunched up in a fist, he couldn't help but pull back in a motion that would bring Ivy down with in and upon him. He wasn't about to pass up on a snog though as while their lips would part for a moment, he'd bring his back to hers, his arms lacing around her waist as he brought her close with the same ferocity that she had gripped his hair. Well, she had pissed him off as well.
Ivy wasn't even agitated, she was furious, she had no way to filtrate it.. she could have dug his entire room in a jungle off that one plant. But she chose to just take it out on him directly, if it had been anyone else they would have been dead instantly from that single kiss. Right hand tangled in his hair forcing him to stay in place her fingers tight, harshly almost as she pulled away justified her fingers would attempt to release yet he just came back the woman's lips parting biting into his lower lip teeth digging as her right hand forced it's way down his back. Adrenaline moved, her lips parting as she took both hands forcing him on his back both hands holding hard forcing his back flat. "Asshole." She grumbled, teeth taking his neck, the woman's fingers holding him down with little weight she did have. She wasn't happy with him not one bit.
Liam was taken back by her aggressiveness, but with her remark he simply thought to himself that he'd been called worse by his nan. As she bit down, he pulled his lip back against her teeth. When she assaulted his neck however, he found himself filled with the same anger she did. Why the fuck was it his fault? He wasn't the queen bitch of plants like she was. His own rose out as his fangs portrayed from his canines and with a lunge, he'd have pierced them straight into her shoulder as she ripped at his skin likewise. Well, if this was sex with a powered being... He'd hate to see what it was like for Superman trying not to turn Lois Lane inside out with his cock of steel.
Ivy hadn't really thought into the consequences, what could happen; the woman didn't care for it. Ivy's agitation ruled with her recklessness, her vengeance, her fingers assaulted his chest, digging, nails curling into what would create more scars. As he lunged pierced into her shoulders, she just gave him a shriek. She wasn't accustomed to pain directly, the woman just grabbed his hair forced him away, her lips closing on his forcing his mouth away from harm. The shoulder repaired itself with ease, her right hand despite being being tangled in his head the other forced his hand down to be tangled with vines on the bed post slowly, she'd attempt to forgo his freedom of even if she couldn't poison him relinquish him of the ability to grab, hurt her.
As she yanked him out and tried to strap his arm against the vines, that is when Liam had enough. He wasn't about to let her toy with him like she had already gotten what she wanted and he was a means to an end, no... Even if he wasn't the most fluent in his powers, he would still show her he wasn't someone she could just toy with. His stomach rumbled and the flesh visibly moved as it would seem his intestines where about to burst free as mounds of his skin flared up in snake like shapes before coming to be visibly large anacondas. From there, the lines formed to make three large reptiles that would push her off him and in their power bodies coil around her, forcing her off him and hold her above as he'd stare up at her. The snakes still attached at his stomach. "Look, Ivy..." He snarled with his fangs, tinted with the fluid within her still bore as he glared at her. "I am not your toy!" He snarled.
The snakes also hissed, very hostile in their nature. Unlike the rather dopey one from yesterday, they was born of rage. One even bore it's fangs, head close to Ivy as it would look ready to start trying to swallow her whole. "I admit I wanted a shag... And yes maybe, I did let it die. But I didn't do it intentionally! Just calm down, Psycho tits! If we're working together, then we're both gonna have to learn to get along. Alright?"
Poison Ivy was not good in close quarters combat considering she was well above reach with her plants, he had the upper hand advantage she hardly expected for the anacondas to force the separation. Ivy's figure now pushed off, holding her there as he'd stare up, the woman's lips were in a frown her eyes staring as he spoke over the fact he wasn't her toy. To hell he wasn't, he acted like it and she would surely treat him like it if he wanted to do the same thing her fingers tempted to just wrap them in vines.. make that plant something bigger and badder than this shit attached to him. The plant behind her starting to grow vines, long, digging trying to get to the window but she just waited.
Ivy was hardly botheredb y it but she was literally tied up here, it was about the long term. Her recklessness came with ..proprietary her lips pursed into a frown as she stared at him from down below her as she finally untensed. She calmed down because she had no choice in the matter, her eyes scanned over him she finally just softly gave up. "Alright." Her fingers flexing, "Going to let me go?" She said, her eyes scanning staring. "I won't treat you like a toy either." She said, her voice in a tone of giving up. No use in fighting, she'd have no head.
Liam nodded to her replies, at least she had calmed down now. He felt his own anger quiver away father quickly, his silts easing off her as the snakes seemed to react to his own temperament and slowly proceeded to place Ivy down on the bed beside him. With that done however, Liam was still left with three large anacondas protruding out of his stomach. He knew he wanted them gone, but it couldn't dawn on him how. It seemed that still connected, the snakes responded to that as they all made a lunge for his mouth. Liam's own eyes went wide very quickly, his throat giving an unnatural gag that forced him to open his mouth and in a process much like his birthing the snakes proceeded to force themselves down his throat, their tails coming out as the detached and slithered back into him before seemingly disappearing. A result that left Liam coughing and spluttering.
"Urgh..." He finally let out as the last bulges in his skinny stomach disappeared, leaving his malnourished looking form normal once again. "Well now I know how pornstars feel on their first gangbang." He finally retorted, his body tingling with a strange light headed rush. Gosh that was weird. Shaking his head as he sat up, he rested his head in his hands for a second, letting out a small sigh as he seemed to be trying to come to terms with his wild day and yesterday. "Seems like I'm gonna have to learn about my powers."
Liam wasn't really going to attack her was he? She did calm down with the reason her life was on the line that was the sole purpose of it all. There was truthfully that, and he had a snake to her head she'd relax, wait. hopefully wouldn't take her head off. Ivy finally being placed down her figure seated carefully, almost as if nothing was going on from that point, as if nothing happened. Ups and downs were far from unroll, the fact the woman had been spending time with another person other than Harls was far for the normal for her. Lips pursing, her head tilt down as she glanced over to him.. birthing snakes. The woman's neck healed from the bite completely it seemed as she continued to look down at the end of the bed hearing him coughing she glanced in slight worry. Was that a bad thing? Seeing them slithering, she rubbed her head. Where the hell was she going to keep six anacondas now? She was going to need a bigger space soon..
When he finally finished his bs of coughing and all that, she knew there was reason to finally relax. Right hand moving through her hair, she'd knew that there was toxin running through her system. Both their toxins, it was odd, feeling the foreign her body able to move with it comprehend it then fix it completely. "..Well. That was descriptive." She said flatly, her eyes glancing to him she'd listen to his next statement admitting finally he needed to learn. "You just... need to embrace them first and stop treating them like some alien.." She said, her fingers moving opening her palm showing a pretty flower of sorts laying it on his lap. "Small things first."
He watched as she created the flora and displayed it to him, placing out on his lap as he opened up his own left palm and stared at it. Everything he had done up in till that point had been on impulse, on emotion... The only thing that he had truly learnt how to control was his tongue and even that was only when he was hungry. It felt strange, just staring into his skin, almost as if waiting for something to happen. Why wouldn't it just obey him? He was the serpent king wasn't he? It was his body, it had to obey him.
His silts glared at his flesh, vexation surmounting in his glare. You will obey me, the words rung out in his mind and as if the living minds of snakes in his skin could hear him... They obeyed. His skin quivered after about five minutes of unbroken silence, before thousands of small snakes started to rise up from his skin and within seconds from hand to elbow his left was engulfed with thousands of small snakes all hissing, glaring and snapping at the only target they saw. Ivy. Thankfully for her though, it would be beyond their reach as they proved to be too small and his arm was not directed at her. "Interesting... " He thought to himself as he refocused his silts upon the snakes, the same words ringing over in his mind as the snakes stopped and started to receded till his arm was normal once again.
Ivy had remembered when she first started she remembered the experiments, the pain, the endless suffering until she needed up in the hospital for days she couldn't help herself it was something she just had to learn it was something to just embrace. She didn't like her powers at first even hated them but she the best she could to do what she could to accept them. It took years, the woman's head flooding with memories something she didn't pride herself in but beyond the hand of time she knew it was there to stay. Maybe she could convince him to love them.. to accept them.
Ivy's eyes darted over the snakes worry consuming her features as she scanned them her eyes staring as she reached to his arm once it was clean her fingers grasping his. "Good job." It was a simple congratulations, but it was sweet. Somehow soft, the woman was actually kind? Just as could she be cruel? It was simple, soft, her fingers moving up his arm, planting a simple kiss on his cheek with a quirky grin on her face. "I knew you could do it."
Liam had never felt anything like this before, he had been raised in Ireland to a loving family and had only wanted a normal life. But this felt right... This felt... Good. He had power that nobody else did, perhaps it was something the league of assassins did to him that made him feel this way. But he had power... Power that he could use. Power that could make men tremble before him. Without another word, Liam rose from his position, still clad only in boxers as he silently marched his way out towards the door and boldly strode out into the hallways. Leaving the door open as he stood in the empty corridor. If snakes would obey him, then man could as well... No more shitty desk jobs and running away. He wanted the truth and he wanted his origins. So he'd find it with his power. Raising his arms up, he felt the surging power quiver within him as he seemed to bend down low and bow his head till it was almost touching the floor. "Arise... My children." A hissed out tone echoed as from all over his body, masses and flesh colored lumps arose from his body and soon hundreds of live snakes started to spawn from his skin in all shapes and sizes.
King Cobras, Green anacondas, pythons, rattlesnakes, sand-winders and many other forms of serpent sprung to life from his skin and started to pour out into the building. Some instantly slithering under doors, more crashing into them to try and spur them open, others slithered up and down the stairs to infest the building as within seconds... Screams of men, women and children rented the silent air as the last snake drained off Liam. Quickly backing off, he closed his own door, a wicked and demented grin across his face as other doors flew open to the onslaught. He had almost collapsed by his door with his grin and silent laughter as he heard the building outside erupt into panic at what he had done.
Ivy had one thing in particular she didn't like hearing harmed, it was actual kids, with a flick of her wrists plant life rode from the flower it was wan nonchalant movement as she sat there on the bed she didn't care for the rest of them.. the adults.. they could perish. It was nothing of her particular mess, but those who could not fight back? Those who were unprepared? Fingers flicking, there were sound of kids screaming, being dragged away by millions of vines through the floor only to be placed on the ground elsewhere a lower floor of the household where they could get away. It shown something, Ivy had compassion for the young although she never admitted it. As they children wailed they ran out of the font door parentless, all of them, homeless it didn't matter they would find a way. It would make them stronger, faster, like herself out of the way of abusive parents. Pursing her lips, the Ivy rose from the bed her figure approaching him.
Ivy approached him, her figure kneeling in front of him her eyes scanning his face staring at the grin, what.. just happened there? Confusion covered Ivy's features as she moved her fingers across his face, the woman's actual appearance evident as her skin had taken a pale jaundice color the green running up various parts of her body aesthetically pleasing in the decoration of vines. Her lips paler, hair redder, almost a harsh fire as her right hand coaxed over his face. "What.. was that?" She asked, trying to get his attention trying to figure out exactly what had happened there.
He felt the hand brush across his face, it was nothing compared to the feeling he had rushing through him. He didn't care what happened to the people, he merely let whatever happened happen as he rose his silts up to stare at her. "Power..." That was his only answer to her question as the day passed over quickly with the coming events. To when Liam could truly start to think again, it had passed a few days and he was still on his feet. The driving ambition, the burning power, the rush it brought to him... It had all been so much. Despite his earlier desires of nothing more then a shag, Liam insisted to Ivy that they begun training his powers the moment they got through the doors of her warehouse with more and more snakes in tow.
Day four without sleep and Liam was still at it, the chosen practice that he had desired from Ivy was one playing off his reflexes and body structure. The same vines that had tried to kill him shot directly at him, his body merely tilting back as he seemed to perform an impossible lean with his spine literally bending. From there, his torso kept going as it shot through the gap between his spaced out legs, his body stretching out as he raced and twisted, avoiding the on coming barrage of vines and thorns that shot his way... Till he was roughly the same length of a football field, coiled and twisted around various different plants. He was getting better, faster and stronger. His hands grabbed on to the latest incoming vine, holding on to it tightly as his body started to recoil, his legs shooting forward as the long stretched out torso shrunk down with his body returning to normal size. Leaving him laid out on the floor as he grinned wildly to himself. He had abandoned most clothes while training with her, wearing only a pair of sweats on his lower half while he practiced. In the heat of her greenhouse though, it felt great on his cold blooded skin.
[9/14/2015 3:09:25 AM] Boo: Ivy knew that was the change she was looking for one that gave into the power.. the one that appreciated what he could do. She was trying to figure out just where she had to keep going, keep learning about him.. and herself. Over time, he had moved in, it took just a simple flower? To show him to start small? Who would have knew. Days passed, training occurred with her sitting on her ass most of the time working the male to the point of exhaustion because he actually wanted to she didn't mind giving him what he wanted either because she had wanted the same thing. Something to share in common? It was enough to give her some insight into the situation her right hand stretched out playing with the vines in tow.
Ivy on the other hand enjoyed watching the changes, the growth, it was much like the plant life.. considering her plants now had protectors beyond herself it was nice to know her children were safe at the same time. He had been through the obstacle enough she thought. Restless he was, she didn't want him to gas out either, Ivy approached him swiftly, her legs carrying her wearing the usual lack of clothing. Bare feet approaching him as she kneeled in front of him, a casual grin was on her face as her fingers ran through his hair. Gentle, soft, "Take a break." Was all she offered, Ivy finally standing up sashaying away, the woman's fingers running along the long vines some tanning up her arm as flora danced up her arm in reds and pinks. The long vines following her, glancing behind her her eyes scanned over his lying form. "Your not a indestructible, Liam." She said, her voice casual as she took a seat on what seemed to look like oversized daisy's lying down. The woman's frame lazy, her head resting on her arm as the flower petals enveloped her frame.
He could've easily of reminded her what happened last time she tried to kill him, he felt indestructible. He felt like he was on top of the world. Through their training, he felt stronger, like he understood what she desired much better now. While she was still beautiful and the object of desire, he saw her in a new light as well. One of power. Rising up after her gentle caress had left his body, his silts returned the gaze of her eyes as he merely portrayed the same grin as before. It felt so good, embracing his true nature. The buzz of the air around them was thrilling, it truly was nature now as animals and insects where drawn in for the snakes to feed upon. The sight of a small mouse being chased by a rattlesnake catching his eye as his tongue drew out to lick his lips. "If you say so, my darling." He teased out in a sly and venom coated voice, his skinny form coming to hers as he invited himself to sit beside her on the petals embrace.
His body instantly came close to hers, it wasn't just what she produced in the air wavering his desire now, it wasn't just the fact she was an attractive female. There was something else he felt build up within him as he'd turn his features to gaze upon her, his hand lifting up to toy with the ends of her flaming hair. "One day.... I'll give you Gotham, you can rule it as the queen you are." He purred out, his head bowing as he pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder. He knew exactly what he wanted out of her now.
The woman hadn't given him a break, kept pushing him for the past four days without giving him a break as he asked. Wounded him, killed him a couple times by accident he even killed some plants along the way. It didn't piss her off she knew it came with sacrifice. For once she had settled in a world in this warehouse that could be far beyond the normal case at hand it would be all of gotham. Where people could see what beauty truly was.. flora.. fauna. She didn't care so much for the people she wanted to steal the kids.. let them grow in this kind of society where one could appreciate the nature they were not lost they could still learn. Lips pursed as she settled, the petals comforting layered as she pondered those thoughts, revenge driven her to tolerated Liam but she had also grown to respect him then again he had made changes for a cause he understood just how beautiful it would be to have nothing but the chain of survival where man, animal, and plant lived in unison.
Ivy's thoughts were interupted by him, her eyes glancing up as she raised an eyebrow. A curious stare, she figured he was going to force himself to keep going but apparently he did know what the terminology of what rest was. Sentient plantlike opened the flora for him to join her. Ivy turning to face him, staring at the angular features. His promise threw her off, did he really? Ivy's lips parted to open and close, she was speechless, the woman merely didn't expect it. "..Are you just messing with me?" She said, her fingers forcing him to look at her.
A small sadistic grin coiled around his features as she asked her question, his features rising from her shoulder as he moved his hand from her hair to her cheek to where he softly brushed his thumb across the pale flesh. He meant his words ever so dearly, there was an attraction to the mother of nature that he hadn't felt before. A lusting desire that was matched only by his flourishing whims for power. "Yes, I am messing with you.... Because I don't just promise you Gotham, I promise you the world." He cooed out in a soft, venomous purr as he'd move his head so that his forehead touched upon hers. His silts low in their almost hypnotic stare, his free hand coming up to her waist as his tongue hissed out once more. "I am the king of serpents and you, my dear... Are my queen." The words left his mouth before a kiss was met with his lips joining on hers, the brief union marking the honesty in his words, no matter how much poison they entailed.
Poison Ivy wasn't sure what to believe, not sure at all the woman wasn't even the most honest person either to dissuade her it was just far beyond her grasp as she sighed. Unsure what to believe, betrayal, lies, it was common she had been used far to many times to actually trust? That was hard special on the part since she had knew she only knew him for what. Seven days? It was a week, a week of convincing, training, trying to make him see what she saw into but his ambitions seemed to match hers in unison to create a world where the parliament of trees could see their view of what would be perfection. Feeling his thumb brush the woman's eyes glance up her hand resting now on the side of her face as he had admitted her was fucking around. She knew it, but the next sentence riddled her with the ambitions that she dreamed of. Ivy only wanted nature to consume.. the purest form. Her lips pursed as stared in practical disbelief. Eyes scanning over him trying to figure out where the fuck he was going. It made her heart beat slow and fast. She didn't really say anything because she didn't know -what- to say. There was no thoughts in her head just disbelief and silence as his arms pulled her into him. Fingers moving to his chest, she allowed the embrace of lips. Fingers dissuaded holding onto him, moving up to his neck as her lips pulled away to stare. "Why didn't I find you sooner?" She asked, her fingers stroking, gently, not sure of how to express herself. Feelings she felt, not for what he said but for him oddly.
He moved his head slightly to welcome her arms, his hair tingling with a slight sensation as she stroked gentle. His silts stared into her eyes as he let out a silent chuckle to her question, his eyes closing off as he bowed his head slightly before looking at her once more. "Because Ireland is a long way away, my dear." Surprisingly, as he hissed out his words his accent became less and less apparent, something that would be of use when they went public and if he still needed to keep up appearances. With her coming so close, he press his skinny body against hers as his hand ran up her back while the other still brushing her cheek. His lips came in for her neck as he pressed down a kiss to her soft skin, lips rising up as they brushed against her ear. "I wish I had found you sooner as well, my beautiful queen." He cooed softly, his lips coming around to her front once again as he'd lock his lips in with hers and allow his tongue to slither out and coil with her own. His own heart was normal, though there was a rising heat he felt from being close to her that entwined itself with his cold blood. An almost aching feeling for her as they laid down so close and where locked in an embrace that would bare the children of a new world. A world of serpents and flora.
Ivy didn't know what to feel, how to respond, to have someone compatible so to speak someone who didn't die in her grasp someone who didn't need an antidote from her existence. It seemed ike this curse had been lifted only if temporarily. It made her feel human again to a strand, to a moment, it seemed as her fingers rose up and tangled her hands in his hair. "Should have came to the states sooner." Her tone sultry, as she was now becoming the one seduced by the serpent raptured by his fangs. Of course, accents were one thing but se was caught up when he pressed into her unable to breathe almost as her heart fluttered with these shimmying feelings so to speak to crash into a burn. A complex, it was something she recognized but not quite sure of as she breathed in as his lips trailed along to her ear. The nonsense of promises her fingers found his gently moving through the curls resting at the base of his skull. Ivy's lips parting allowing their tongues to mingle, coil, it even seemed the venom was nothing more than a lost flavor among their saliva. Knowing that any man whom made it this far in her embrace was ..certainly dead. It took a single kiss, to explore, it was invigorating. Ivy's hip adjusted to have her leg wrap around his hip, her fingers holding his head taut feeling his flesh without worry of death. It seemed often times that what stopped her from sleeping with others.. often times those whom she wanted but simply couldn't have due to this.. malfunction she considered sometimes.
His body curved with her legs wrapping around him, his senses lost in her touch and his lips lost in hers. His gaze was forfeit to the power of her eyes as he lost himself. The embrace and moments they shared in that time where bliss, woven ecstasy from natures gifts and when they came to pass, Liam could no nothing but hold his queen in a loving curl. When he woken from what seemed to be an eternal slumber however, Liam left the wondrous maiden and took out into the night. The cold city air was murder on his skin till his blood uplifted to a much warmer temperature, till he was content in the whirling winds of Gotham.
He had not changed out of his simple pair of sweats, but on top of that, he had donned a large robe that engulfed him from head to toe in it's baggy embrace. While not even done up, it still engulfed his skinny frame, hiding his features well and even his hands. It wasn't for his identity however, his control had gone a little beyond that now. His skin had dropped to a much more flushed pale, scales forming in tints of snowy white and oblivion black. His features had reverted to that of a snake, his jaw bones high while his eyes conformed to exactly resemble a snake with his green silts. He had even grown out a long, powerful tail perfectly completely the white of his aesthetic that dragged behind his form that seemed to be dragging itself entirely. Curls had stood on end in the transformation, turning into a spiked flat that was only crushed under the weight of his hood.
It was time to start working... During his slumber, he had thought of a plan. A way to make his darling Queen's dream a reality, but he had to work for it first. Work that the Batman would normally do. High upon an abandoned building, Liam had followed a group of thugs there to find a small criminal organisation. It didn't take long for him to work his way through their ranks, many pinned down on the lower floors being held by snakes far stronger then themselves while others where knocked clean out. On the roof is where the final confrontation between Liam and their leader was held. The bulky man glaring out at the being who had for his whole rampage had stared at the floor, following the smells on his forked tongue and watching the shadows on the floor to guess movements. "So what're you doing here? Trying to send a message by killing me and my boys?" He snapped out to Liam, who retorted in a venomous hiss devoid of any accent. "Killing is distasteful to me."
Tangled it was without a night of bliss? Falling in love potentially? Confusion? It was all one ball of wonder compressed into lost senses and of course, cuddles! The woman was coiled tight against him but, the flora was sentient it shifted without her knowledge the woman's right hand extending her hips turning onto her stomach as she finally woke in the darkness only to stare out. It was pink, pulsations mingled with the whispers of 'Gone' The plant life said gone over and over the woman was groggy her fingers moving through her hair as she finally opened her eyes noticing no one..turned over. Shock, coiled with disappointment, the woman's right arm rested against her head as she stared out. Disbelief coiled with anger, he was clever, too clever Ivy sat up the flora pushing aside as she didn't truthfully know how to feel.
Anger coiled with vengeance, the woman looked to all the snakes littering her home.. marks of him all over. Ivy's eyes stared in the darkness unable to comprehend why or how. For now, his snakes didn't attack her either one even greeted to coil on her lap. Eyes scanning over the creature that raised it's head at her staring. It was a small garden snake of sorts.. it enjoyed the flora far more than the others. Ivy's fingers gently ran along the body of the smaller snake pondering her figure finally rising. She'd retrieve her.. lack of attire to leave to find him.. ask questions. She was angry, beyond angry, agitated.. but she would not take it out on his snakes.. just yet. She would use them just as he had her, approaching the fountain, she'd lean over to one in particular the cobra whom leaded her to him before. "Show me love? I need to see your father~" She whispered to the cobra whom was.. much like pikachu didn't like being in the green house.
Together they left, the woman casually following next to it, vines followed, climbing up her figure to a sickening length. The female was pissed, beyond pissed, it seemed she'd find herself staring at a criminal.. place not to far. What was this shit? Ivy's right hand flicked vines climbed up the walls. Engulfing it making her presence known, poisonous gas lingered in the air from the bottom up slowly killing everyone within.
Liam was focused on the leader at hand who could only stare at his adversary, fear engulfing his form. Though he was armed with a pistol, his men had been armed as well. Not one stood a chance against this menace. It was then from the corners of his eyes that he saw them, the vines that crept up along the sides of the building and had started to engulf even the roof top. Ivy... Already she was about to ruin his plans to help her. His mouth parted in to a small venomous hiss, an order of kinds as the snakes closest to the top responded and relayed the command throughout the building. Making themselves sparse out into the night.
"This your doing? Killing is distasteful, huh?!" The man snapped to a Liam that only replied. "This is not my doing..." He hissed out, slowly approaching the man at first as his snakes scarpered out who continued to hold up his gun shaking before Liam burst out into an almighty sprint. A gunshot went off, but it missed him by far as his much stronger frame wrapped an arm around the criminals waist before Liam leaped off the building with his powerful legs. Ivy's training had come in well, for even with the added weight that screamed mid-flight, he was able to land unharmed on the opposing building to which he let go of the criminal who dropped to his knees. "Go... Run... And let your friends know, Basilisk is in town and he will find you all." He added to the effect by lifting his head up, giving the man a brief sight of his horrific visage and petrifying silts. To which the criminal ran off quickly, even leaving his gun behind in the process. Now it was time to deal with Ivy.
Ivy wasn't patient, her anger was.. unrolling, the woman was far from the normal when it came to anger with it came reckless ness, with a snap of her fingers bodies were swiped from the building, taken away deep into the ground the plants doubled in size from the blood. Their vines becoming trunks in comparison from the bottom crunching the building all those within screams came from inside the building as she pulled one by up by one tossing them aside as if useless garbage.The eerie part is other vines would ..grab them and drag them under the ground for god knows where. Where? They were going to become fertilizer in her home, glancing up she noticed him bound across the building. Impatience came, anger mingled with it, with that said, she brought her fingers out and flicked the vines towards her and the building behind him fell in a mess.
The cobra on the other hand stood there on her shoulder staring enjoying the carnage what she had done to the people. It's tail rattled, "You like that huh?" She said gently, her eyes glancing the woman merely looked up to the top of the building as the ground below her rattled the earth lifting high parallel to the building. Those thick vines coiling along the pillar she walked across it. The woman's fingers coiling the thick trunk like vines around her arm as the pillar sparking into nothing but ash as she looked at him doing some bullshit. She wouldn't have let him live, she wanted to be spiteful let the vines swallow him. "Explain before I murder you in cold blood." She said with a hiss, the woman approaching him getting in his face. "I'm not pleased, Liam." She said using his name formerly since knew hers it was only fair. "Not pleased at all." Vines coiled from her arm red with poison, a paralytic poisons fuming from it as she slammed it on the ground causing the building to shake.
His head bowed again, his spine seeming to be formed in a very bent snake like appearance, his height seemingly gone from when he usually stood up tall. He merely watched as Ivy approached him, his eyes focusing on the floor still and watching as her scent and shadow approached him. He had made sure the criminal was truly gone before he did dare speak again. "You... Are ruining my plans..." He hissed out rather venomously and callously, his voice cold and emotionless as he turned to show her his back with his long tail merely dragging out behind him.
To the buildings edge he looked, sight filled with the building engulfed in vines and the alleys below as he knelt down to dwarf his size even more. "I... Have come up with a plan, one that will get you the world. This city is first... However it's defender, must be dealt with. I need more training and with these criminals, I can gain his trust. Get close and strike. I want the Batman, you want Gotham. My sweet... My love... Do you not see how I am doing this for you?" He asked tilting his head finally, his pale features shadowed by his hood, save the glaring silts that stared out at her.
The woman didn't care for appearances at the moment he could have looked decayed as could be at this point she was very pissed off. Fragrantly, vengeance, reckless, her insanity mingling giving her no sense of ruining his shit. He was the one who was leaving, she didn't want him to the woman merely felt her heart ache anger was fluent as her right hand holding the vines dug into the building ripping parts of the building tossing them apart as she stood there in front of hher she was furious her right hand curling clenching the vine as now they began to climb on the building they are on. "I am not." She said hissing, trying to control her anger but she just couldn't. He was being a dick for no apparent reason. He wasn't giving her any answers, the woman's right hand took the vine part of tgoing bursted screams from below was heard of people panicing.
The temptation to end him there was great, the woman's right hand began to gather vines once more they ripped from the building causing it to shutter. Albeit, the cobra on her arm had .. no admissions, it wasn't attacking her just yet. Hell, she didn't even realize the damn creature was on the other side of her. Ivy wanted to push him off the ledge, end it, end it all for trusting him opening up. Her heart burned with discontent in his first answer she began walking towards him the veins on the ground coiling up to greet her thick with blood it began to taint her skin filtering through her skin. Yet, she stopped short at his words, to use them to get close to batman? He was the one that always stopped her toyed with her emotions. The woman's anger gradually shifted, slowly, but it shifted. "You could have at least told me.." She said prickly still yet.
Shaking his head under his cloak, he hissed out his words once again at her. "No, my love... For you see... That would've made this act less convincing, it wouldn't have stirred the same rage." He mused out with a wicked grin across his features as the height of his order became apparent, the snakes that fled one building where now seemingly to be in the other and helping to lead people out while the much larger and stronger ones battled with the vines to free them. With the sirens whaling in the distance, the police forming below them. It would take only one look down to see people being lead out by serpents among the chaos. The same serpents that seemed to be forming a defensive line as they hissed and snapped at oncoming vines.
"I will see you at home... Later, my love. But for now. I need to keep up appearances..." His words clenched in poison as from under his bowed head and hood, his tongue slithered out at one of it's impossible lengths and would take the chance to catch her off guard in the moment as around her neck it coiled only to push her back and dangle her off the edge of the building. Free yourself, my darling. He thought to himself as he slowly edged himself closer to give the bewildered public a clear view of their hooded hero. This was all for her in the end, sacrifices had to be made. Among the arrived police, many scattered out of their cars and shined lights up at the scene, one of many calling out via megaphone. "We have you surrounded, release Poison Ivy to us and come out quietly." Of course he wasn't as close to the police as Batman yet, but the public that called out his praises seemed to be on his side.
The vines were riddled with the dead attached to them growing in size from changing their very existence over to the maker side they were growing rapidly gaining more momentum in the end. But, his words, they just confused her truly. Yet, where was this going? Did he mean it? Did he really give this intention? Lies? She didn't know any more, the best she could do was play along from afar and avoid him. When he came home.. pretended nothing happened at all. To live in ignorance was better to do with it seemed, Ivy's rage slowly subsided with decisions to play it out. To gather her own bearings, her own defenses, she couldn't take heartbreak not again. Fingers coiled about the vines, they would pull back almost in tune to the snakes forming defenses the bodies being dragged away without mercy they would pull swath move the bodies away the vines coiling underneath the ground rushing back to the location she hid.
Albeit, he'd lash the thing around her neck, Ivy's instinct told her to fucking cut the thing off she'd merely raise an eyebrow as she was confused more. How could one harm another? Figure dangling she'd merely hear the sound of cops the adrenaline rush hit. Arkham Asylum, it was something she couldn't help beyond anything else. It was something she was not going to do.. not for him. Right hand grasping the tongue, the green eyes showed nothing but misunderstanding and confusion as her right hand pierced the tongue in half with sharp vein. Vines shooting up from below her dragging her through coiled in a ball escaping him. Funny thing of all that was, the cobra was actually happily on her shoulder just rattling the entire time as she'd ended up dragged underneath the ground spit up on the other side of the alley way through a network of vines. "...Mn." Fingers would rub a fading bruised neck, "Your confusing, Liam." She spoke to herself, as the snake nuzzled into her cheek somehow reassuring as she continued herself back to her domain considering she had made another attack on gotham within the few days it seemed like her name was going to spread like wild fire at this point.
Her cutting his tongue free was unexpected and painful and there was Liam expecting her to trust him, but this could work for his advantage as well. A well screamed hiss of pain echoed as his severed tongue retreated into his mouth, his body riveting in agony but he knew how to deal with it, Ivy killing him all those times in training almost made it too easy as his body stopped and gave a jolt. His mouth opening as his skin seemed to become deflated and from his own mouth, Liam crawled out, alive and anew from his own stomach. It took him only a minute to change the clothes from his shed skin to his body, his form drenched in poison and blood as he took the incentive to walk forward to the edge of the building once more and gaze down at the citizens that had survived. "People of Gotham... Save the wounded and do not be dismayed... Basilisk now protects you..." He called out to them in his hissed voice, many cheers and praises shouted towards him as he turned despite police warnings and fled from the scene. He was even careful to bring his discarded skin and tongue as he made the journey back home.
The snakes from the scene, followed in ones and twos, going into hiding before returning home to elude the public as through the doors Liam stepped boldly into the lair he and Ivy now shared to stand up tall finally and cast his robe to the floor along with his skin and tongue. "Honey... I'm home..." He hissed out loudly.
It was unexpected but he deserved it because she was unexpected of the whole fucking change as well. She wasn't good with change beyond her control she would deal with it the way she was used to with anger and violence. When she returned home she was greeted by his children whom went ignored minus the one she favored on her shoulder. They seemed to merely deflate in the action of ignoring the woman climbing the stair of crystallized plant sugars to sit on the upper tier of the ware house brooding alone. Bare legs crossed over one another as her fingers moved over to the cobra whom was allowed to leave but it didn't seem to. "Mn You need a name, darling. You've been nothing of a rebel to your father." She said softly, "I like that. You deserve a name, love. Sense." It seemed to rattle in it's sentient intelligence even if it didn't give her.. any sort of understanding. She didn't speak snake any, for the time she merely remained mingling among flora decorating the upper half of the warehouse for it had went unfinished.
He'd return to beautiful architecture made of vines crystalline stained glass from simply plant sugars, it was now even warmer the flowers grew larger from the bodies she had collected. Poison lingered at every corner.. for if any person came here would die of heat exhaustion certainly. When he came back, she glanced excitement mixed with distaste she was annoyed with him but was also.. excited to see him. Particular, she knew she had fallen for him and hated the admitting of it. Right hand coiled around the plant life, flora adorning her arm as she walked down the stair across from him leaning on the railing. "You don't think I know that. This is not I love lucy." She said simplistically.
"Oh.. But my darling... I am trying to make your fair tale a reality... It can be whatever we desire...." His hissed out voice came with a large grin, displaying the rows of fangs that had taken over his teeth as he walked forward towards his beloved. The snakes that saw their farther in this light, seemed to hold a new found respect for him. Though never disobedient, they seemed to bow their heads to the snake king as his tail slithered on the floor behind his bare steps. As he approached her, he used his tall frame to stand on the floor beside the railing of the stairs. Leaning up as he'd bring his hands up to run through her hair, his lips coming up to her forehead as he purred out his voice. "You was wonderful out there... My love..." He cooed to her, before letting her hair free as he turned once again and headed off for the water fountain.
His body was still stained with dried blood and poison, his intentions clear as he walked off. His blood dropping back to cool as he felt the warmth of the room rivet over his form. Truly, he had fallen as well for her. His intentions though twisted and riddled with the snakes ambition where all for her at the end of the day. He'd see that her vision of the world came true.
Why would he do all this? Ivy was honestly confused, worried, enthralled and flattered. The woman didn't know how to do anything at the moment regarding him other than to see where it went to follow rather than lead. Right hand on the railing the woman stared conflicted over the conversion. Why he hadn't worked into it just jumped. Seeing the snake bow even the runt cobra on her own slightly. Fingers would gently reach to the creature easing it over its head. Seeing as he was more less than hermit sized the embrace welcomed with one arm fingers climbing up his back. "Your toying was not wonderful" she said to him stubbornly. Yet her fingers climbed up his back her head briefly feeling his fingers free the flora twine forcing her hair down. Not that she minded but it was annoying. The woman merely dragged a sigh as he walked away.
Staring at his back the woman just leaned there unsure of what to think. Fingers tapping on her arms she finally spoke to his back "I think I've fallen for you."
He had definitely fallen for her as well, to what end would a man not in love do this for a woman? Once he had reached the water's edge, he didn't step in straight away. He merely stared down at his reflection, almost no humanity remained on his features. But yet, he felt like there was so much more power to unlock. Stepping forward finally, his reflection faded with the sight of a fang encrusted grin rippling out of existence. He didn't even discard his sweats, he knew the immense heat of the warehouse would air dry them in seconds as he knelt down and started to splash and rub water into his skin to wash off the poison and blood. Soon Gotham would be her's and the world would be theirs... The bat? He would be his. Basilisk would coil his will around the world and show it the power of the serpent.
Ivy wasn't perfect she didn't know how to comprehend beyond the fact she always mistaken lust for love or love for lust and vice versa it would be remnant of confusion but to be honest would be better to dishonest. Seeing that she went ignored for the moment she had no reason to continue with the conversation at hand. With the progression of her own powers she also looked alien to most of human kind with the pale skin yet green in hue met with yellow. Full lips parted as she sighed her eyes scanning his back as she ascended the stairs once more. Where would this end was the questions. Ivy was more concerned with it being a lie but she would rather ride it out used, taken for, than not to experience the feeling at all. Ascending the stairs she took to decorating the upper floors most of the structure was slowly being swallowed by vines. The upper dome half finished with beautiful different colored crystallized plant sugars. Ivy right hand at work whilst the oddly small cobra had not left her side. The rebellious one growing attached to the rather loving step mother since the placed had grown beautiful with mice and whatnot. Once the dome had been complete she had increased the heat by a couple lengths for it to meet tropical density. The large plants glowing more brightly as she finished with the upper spire with a crystalline chandelier constructed solely of solidified plant sugars.
Ivy mingled upstairs with the cobra merely had come up with a plan. It was far beyond he norm she would ascend th stairs sneaking among the flora. "Get him" was whispered her single rebel Sanse, mingled and lunged wrapping around his arm. She'd approach him arms playfully wrapping around his waist, "Seems like you got caught' she said
Liam was still bathing off the blood and venom, he was clean and about to step out of the cool pool when he felt one of his snakes wrap itself around his arm and from there, he felt Ivy's arms around his waist. He was happy to her being pleased and eager to be close to him, but no so much for the snake that apparently was so loving to it's new step mother. Caring was one thing, but following her commands? That was something he'd have to deal with and the snake knew it as he gave a low hiss that turned more playful for Ivy's ears. Thankfully she couldn't speak snake. His tail behind him rose up to wrap around her waist as well, he felt as if it was an extension of him now and no different to his arms in which he had held her the night before. "I see you're feeling happier now... My love..." He purred out in a his, turning around to her as he stepped over his tail and let the appendage remain around her. His hands flying straight up to her cheeks to which he'd softly cup, before locking his lips over hers in a venomous kiss.
Ivy was tired of being agitated it was tiring to worry for the moment she just wanted to be playful enjoy his company beyond anything else. The other snake agreed to something playful god only knows how long she reasoned with the thing. Seeing as the laughed at the hiss her fingers pressed on his chest as she felt his tail coil. Ivy hips turned into his as she tilted her fingers up to the runt cobra it's body almost hiding behind her hair from him seeking protecting him from the other guy. "Slightly less vindictive.." Her fingers tracing down his angular features, feeling the venom seep it was processed learned articulated through her biology. Fingers pressing onto his chest the woman's lips finally pulled away as she stared, "Why the bat though?" She asked imploring the woman's hand guiding him to sit at the fountain with her.
Her questions... Too many and his plan wouldn't work as he had foreseen it. But he could give her little hints of information, enough to sate her for now and keep her happy. That's what he wanted, her happiness. "Because, my love... He will stop at nothing to see your perfection ruined... Once I have the Bat... Nobody will be able to stop us." His hands continued to brush over her cheeks, his eyes peering into hers as the venom in his voice, the snakes ambition came alive during his next words. "αṉḋ τhεṉ ÿøυ αṉḋ ï ώïll ɾυlε τhε ώøɾlḋ øƒ ṡṉαќεṡ αṉḋ ρlαṉτṡ αṡ ќïṉģ αṉḋ συεεṉ....!" His body felt a wave, a surge of power as he declared his ambition. How it would feel to have man bow down before him... This was power, his birthright... What he deserved! And what she deserved.
He was doing something better than he would expect to keep his queen's wrath at bay. It was enough to keep her on the edge of wanting to keep asking but enough to keep her from asking.The woman was ..satisfied, needless to say, as she had scanned over his face her eyes watched for the momentt at hand her lips pursing. "Mnn~" She said, her head turning her eyes staring down at the floor. Would she rather feed him more information now or later? She picked to be honest, "There's other heroes out there. Your going to need help eventually, Bas." She said, her eyes staring even his ambition was there she knew there was going to be others.. others who wanted to stop him. Even as he had done so, she was sure they could do it but without the help of Harley and Joker? It was of question, but a question she was not ready to ask. The woman remained quiet, her head moving to just be placed on his chest as she tilted her head in his direction.
She worried over other heroes? He had already accounted for them, once Gotham had been taken over... They would be able to deal with other heroes and even villains with ease. He didn't fret over them, not did he show any sign of it. He merely moved his arms to join his tail around her waist as she rested her head against his chest. "Worry not, my love... I'll have surprises for them as they come." Cunning, that is what the snake drove into him. He placed a loving peck atop her head as she leaned on him. "And besides... I know a little vixen who can make good use of corpses." He purred out as his flat nose came down to nuzzle atop her head, his own resting on hers in the moment that the two twisted minds shared.
Ivy was worried, but why wouldn't she be? She was trying to understand how and why she was doing this kind of shit. Why she was dealing with the things at hand. Her lips pursed as she had scanned over his face for the moment her eyes watching the ground now as she felt his arms finally join her spine the woman had many thoughts. They wouldn't be hushed easily without answers, the woman just didn't rely on faith as easily. "Mn~ You better. I don't feel like destroying more buildings." She said, the lazy side of her showing as she merely leaned her weight into him the woman listening to his next words. Ivy merely laughed, the girl like sound fluttered as she had shook her head stubbornly. "Good use? It's called recycling my love. You should try to do so with your skins." She said idly eyeing it as she flicked her hand the skin being taken into the ground the plant that had done so growing in size.
-Time skip because Liam is lazy-
Poison Ivy was up to some mischief, she had left their home in the wee hours of the morning the woman casually taking disguise, her figure moving through the streets of gotham in her more.. human visage. Still, she caught glances in her more human grace her hair was more auburn, skin sun-kissed as she pondered through the streets of gotham she stopped at the sight where she had fought Green Lantern. Eyes scanned as she analyzed, glasses on her features as she placed a hand on her hip staring across. "..Need another point." She grumbled to herself, the woman walking through the streets quietly as she stopped down the road some looking to a large building. Staring, she crossed her arms she had to get another seed in the building.. it was large enough to do what she had wanted.
Arms crossing over one another she approached the building being stopped by a large man, "I'm sorry ma'am but this is off limits." She'd glance her right hand moving to the glasses as her fingers pressed against her lips blowing some type of.. gas in his face that left him.. dazed. "You won't remember a thing." She said simply, walked past him into the building for god knows what.
Liam had been left to his own devices in the midst of their own little haven. His body was a haven for snakes today it seemed, as he allowed them to slither over his slithery and decaying form. The cobra that seemed to be so attached to Ivy sat directly on his belly, staring up at it's master as Liam had started to talk over the rights and wrongs of what to do. It was no sorted, the cobra would continue using it's affections to Ivy and at the same time inform Liam of her plans and movements. Like that, the cobra instantly understood it's objective and with the scent of it's mother so dear to it's heart. Sanse merely slithered out of the warehouse and was soon on his way to where Ivy was heading. As Liam stroked his other children, he grinned widely his fangs and forked tongue. Nothing would escape his notice. Not even her.
Ivy had managed to plant that same particular seed she had planted in the center of gotham when she had fought green lantern. It was coveredin the foundation it was slowly growing it's veins across the bottom of the foundation to seek the other seed. This would take time but it was something she was willing to wait for. She dazed all those whom tried to stop her with a grin and simple wave of her hand. Shortly leaving the building the woman glanced behind her noticing.. Sense? The little creature left home just to find her? Ivy turned towards the creature her eyes staring down at it as it arched it's head waiting for her. It was small for a rattler a runt, abnormally a runt when he had spit out thousands of snakes. It was 4 feet long, small, but that came with his.. inexperience at the time. Ivy's right hand reached to the smaller snake it coiled around her arm slithering affectionately coiling up her arm. Ivy welcomed this particular snake, even if so she had taken a liking to it far beyond she intended. "I'm coming home now lovely."
Together they would return, Ivy finding herself slipping into the home without much escort the females right hand shutting the door behind her as the vines coiled about the door. Eyes scanning over Liam, her figure approached stripping away clothing easily the disguise fading as quickly as it had left. Her skin paling, vines climbing up her skin translucent tangled in pale almost greenish yellow skin her eyes glancing to the right as she abandoned the jean leaving nothing but foliage panties the woman's hand reaching to vines which came in an intricate tangled flora about her bust line. It was enough, she didn't enjoy to many clothes quite frankly. "Mn~ You let the little one out or did it slip out?" She said approaching him, sitting next to him among a litter of snakes.
-And Liam continued to be lazy and this little scene fell to the sands of time.-
Poison Ivy was tired of how small the warehouse was, she wanted something bigger, her pants had grown restless climbing up the walls. The woman was materialistic, needy, her fingers coaxed over her arms as she stared at the walls in dismay. This was not a good atrium for her children, nor his own snakes they would eventually over heat. It was fine for now but the more dense shit became the more it would be far beyond her control. She wanted a place close but far from gotham like her previous home but this warehouse.. it was too close to their activities. As beautiful as it had become Ivy was restless she was no satisfied. The woman was agitated, plants were destroying parts of the ware house. The fountain was broken by one sweep of her hand.
"All of it!" She shouted, the woman was agitated, Sanse on her shoulder tried to comfort the irate woman but the woman didn't calm. Ivy's insanity plagued her anger, the reckless behavior, the foundation shook a vines climbed the walls squeezing. "ALL-OF-IT!" She hissed, her right hand extending the pillars holding the chandelier causing it to fall crashing into the remnants of the the chandelier was crunched on by her foot. The woman kicking the larger shreds into a pillar which was.. shredded in half. Slowly, Ivy was unleashing her rage on the furnishing of what they called Haven.
Liam had been quietly musing in the peace and serenity of their little home, his snakes coiled around their father as he in turn was coiled around him. In her company, alone he had adopted his much more serpent like form as a regular attire. Alas the peace of the evening was cut short as the ensuring madness of his beloved caused echoes of chaos that his snakes retaliated to in violent hisses. It was best to let him handle it, he hissed out lowly, his forked tongue playing through as he rose and trudged over towards Ivy. His form only clad in worn out red sweats, his skin pale and scaly as he moved behind her only to place a hand on the shoulder Sanse didn't occupy.
"My darling... What is wrong..." He hissed out in a soft tone as he came around to stand next to her, silts viewing the destruction as his tail swept behind him. Spiked hair tumbling lightly in the wake of the wind her destruction caused. While he showed no fear of her destruction, he was slightly concerned for her plants and his snakes. It showed in his firm grip as he'd distract her from the destruction by sweeping his free hand under her chin, forming her to focus on him. "Talk to me..."
Ivy was not happy not in the slightest this .. place, this place they called home would be found it lingered to close to the roots. The plants were to close in comparison, they would continue with their own bullshit their own madness. Batman would catch up with it, Ivy's figure decorated in flora, her lower half in a simple foliage panty the upper half adorned in various flora covering her secondary sexua attributes. The woman's rage didn't stop, the pillar that was broken she'd pull vines from it it falling hitting another.. and another. She'd watch the destruction, the tumble of their base to the second floor only to remain attached by the overhead pillars her eyes staring at the crystalline stair. Ivy's foot steps would be bee-lining towards it before she felt the hand on her shoulder in her blind rage.
Stopping short, she wanted to just smack him did he not understand the danger? Did he not see it? Comprehend it, why was he so dense sometimes? "Why must I explain to you, Bas?" She hissed, her voice venomous the woman attempting to walk away she wanted to destroy everything. She'd walk away from him her face pulling away from his fingers as her right hand contacted the beautiful crystalline stair well shredding it causing it to fall the sound of glass shattering about from the sugar crystalline stairs breaking. "You should see it." She said, approaching him, vines crawling up her figure, green eyes staring. "Feel it.. You are connected with your children." Another lethal slap of vines on the ground as vines coiled around her.
It was simple as to why he didn't pull himself away from the danger of her wrath, there was a reason that he could just stand there and watch her go about smashing her creations without fear. He didn't fear her, not in the slightest. The taste of it was delicious, it had a sweet aroma in the air that he had tasted so fondly in the scene in which she had destroyed a building over him. He merely watched her walk off, hands coming behind his back as his silts followed and watches as the crystals shattered like glass over the floor.
As she snapped and snarled, he merely watched in slight amusement. His tongue forking out for a second as he listened before hissing out his own words. "My children... Are content... They are happy... The plants grow taller... And they climb higher... But this is a problem for you... You want a bigger home... Don't you, my love...?" His words dripped venom as he spoke, turning away from her as she coiled vines around her, showing her his back and tail as he started to walk off. Calling his children to attention with a loud hiss, the returning hisses blasted through the warehouse as thousands of the little reptiles came to their master's call. Standing at the center of the circle that had formed, made of everything ranging from anacondas to rattlesnakes and king cobras. Basilisk continued to hiss out to them, the snakes responding with a seeming head nod as they started to slither out of the warehouse en mass to their new objective. "We shall find you... A new home.... My love..." He finally spoke.
Ivy wasn't easily reigned when her anger consumed her she was reckless without a doubt as the crystalline glass dissolved into absolutely nothing it was a small amount of shit in a cup to go with nothing beyond the doubt of her own rage. This place would over heat, it would become nothing to her, right hand coiled as her fingers pulled at the pillars at the top it would crash down with nothing beneath it the plants aside safely, vines swung from the destroyed glass spired it lingered about all that left was the stainless dome keeping the heat in the female was agitated beyond reason her lips pursing as she placed a hand on her hip as she turned to face him.
"More room~" She said, her voice almost venomous, "My children are discontent with the lack of space." She said, in return her voice not calm but agitated. She hated them being cramped she hated being in hiding. A lot of it stemming from her dream to have nothing but space for her children for gotham to be covered nothing in flora. She craved more a bigger space, her lips pursed as watched him turn. "So precisely."
Shaking his head at his angered lover, Basilisk crept forward with his steps, finally releasing his hands behind his back as he'd bring them to her shoulders. "First... A new home... Then Gotham... And then the world..." He hissed out, a sadistic grin on his features as he leaned forward to place a venomous kiss with ease on her forehead before letting her go. "Come... I have something to show you... A little surprise..." He hissed out, slinking away with that ambitious gleam in his eyes.
To where he'd lead her was the corner of their little home, the confines of a small patch of lush flora that surrounded a small crate that it hadn't consumed. The crate had holes in it and was extremely large, but thankfully pushed back as far that it wouldn't be a problem if someone was looking for it. Leaning over the crate, he forked the lid off for her to give her a view of what he had been working on the last few days. Inside was the remains of a cracked egg shell, some straw and a large and vicious snake. It's skin looked like armor, it's glare was enthralling, it's body was twice that the size of an Anaconda, but just not as long by the looks of it's age and immediately it snarled out at Ivy as it rose it's head. Revealing rows of fangs rather then just two or four. "The Basilisk." He remarked to nobody in particular, his joy at his child clear as he reached out to give it a stroke along it's armored scales, the beast still glaring at Ivy.
Ivy was compasionate about her children as he crossed his arms the woman merely was stubborn and fairly upset. Those promises clouded her mind none the less, made her happy, was it truthfully love or was it just this sick twisted confusion she had no idea what god o no idea how to comprehend anything she was just trying to survive with shit trying to learn how to cope. The woman merely just snarled in his general direction knowing what her own children needed. "Fine.." She said softly, anger leaving almost to swiftly as he promised her something? She knew that look though it had nothing to do with her own current distress, none the less, Ivy did follow him her fingers linking around his in a hold.
There was a lot of things going on, the lush flora separated for her almost moved away as they came to a looking at a crate? She was confused, why a crate? There was usually no crate beyond the reason as she had scanned over them hr eyes looking over it as she noticed the lid lift. Her right hand looked at the.. giant snake, her eyes staring at it as it rose it's head. Why keep it contained? Why keep it in the box? None the less, Ivy approached it she was sure he wouldn't allow it to eat her. Sense on the other hand scurried behind her hair and slithered away. Glancing behind her she'd approach the large creature staring it in the eyes. "I hope you have control over this thing." She said simplistically.
The snake was indeed a monster, large and almost dragon like in it's appearance. Liam's hand petted softly along it's head, his tongue curling out as the beast turned it's massive maw to it's father and responded in kind as it's also large tongue slithered out for a flicker at the air. "He is... Controllable... But prone to rage... He also seemed to eat the others.... So for now he will remain here till there is a bigger food source.... And once you're all grown up... Daddy's gonna devour you and have thousands of you ready to fight..." He hissed out affectionately as he leaned forward to the snake, their noses touching for the moment in an shameless display. Once his head left it however, the beast turned it's attention back to Ivy and stared once more with it's ravenous gaze.
"In some cultures... The snake is born and grows.... Only the most powerful become dragons... I will become a dragon for you... My love." He purred in a venomous hiss as he paced himself back around to her again, looking down with a tilted head, his body stopping inches from hers as his own silts focused on her with attentive adoration.
Ivy did understand the whole thing but the snake was large, but a child? This was the confusing part, her eyes scanned over the giant snake her eyes staring at it as her lips pursed for a second her right hand staying far from it as she knew it would probably bite her fingers off. She really didn't need all that at the moment her eyes scanning over it she would not glance to him. "Hm~ It would be nice for him to have a bigger space no?" She said, her eyes scanning over the caged create her eyes staring as he had given the creature affection as often she had her own she would glance to the creature that seemed.. soft with him only gave her a look of wanting to eat it. She decided to stick her favors in Sanse needless to say she labeled it useful but definitely not a favorite.
Listening to the brief History lesson, Ivy was shameless about she wanted but truthfully she also want to be comfortable while they get there. Scanning over the creature, she glanced back to him, how long had it been? Two weeks? Three weeks since she had accepted the fact she fallen for him? Her lips pursed as his attention made her heart flutter. Fucking feelings, it as beyond her control as she just let him hurdle on about his ambitions. There was always the doubt of being used, but she chose to live in ignorance while he hopefully pretended hero. Right hand reaching for his Ivy pressed her figure against his. "Dragon? Stay as you are. I do not wish for anything more."
His fingers coiled around her hand as she held it, his free hand rising up to gingerly touch her cheek as his lips moved into the gap of her neck, his hot breathing hitting skin and Sanse lightly as he spoke. "But you want the world... And I have promised you that..." He muttered softly, his lips trailing in to place a small kiss to her neck, Sanse thankfully moving out of the way as the runt like cobra slithered from her shoulder to his in order to free up room. He had fallen too hard for her, gripped in his madness.
The basilisk in the background to them seemed intrigued by the events and slithered free from it's crate, tipping it over with ease as it started to coil it's large and powerful body around the two. Already as a child, it reached up half way up Liam's back, even at his towering height. The beast rested it's head on it's body, eyes still fixated on Ivy but it didn't dare move. It merely forked out it's tongue and allowed it to taste the air. Liam didn't react to it though, she was safe with him and soon these great beasts would become his greatest asset and Gotham's worst nightmare.
She wasn't trying to be out of the way she was trying to learn how to comprehend her feeling comprehend what was going on but the woman was fit for madness she wasn't going to learn anymore than she had at hand. When his head moved to her neck she'd breathe in deep. She'd become more.. still, the woman's fingers tangling more tightly as her other hand wrapped around his waist noticing Sanse moving out of the way off her shoulder to the the man she had nothing better to do with herself beyond what was at hand her fingers moving up to his waist as she had tilted her head for him. "Far from the world, Only gotham~ Darling." She said, the woman's fingers locking around his waist.
Yet, the mingling, the unison of their figures calmed the rage her fingers moving up his spine until she felt.. the snakes scales coil up her fingers. Her eyes darting to the child basilisk, her eyes scanning over it her eyes staring at the basilisk her eyes staring at him then the creature as it greeted her. She wasn't sure still how to feel about the creature her fingers remained slowly moving away from the creature slowly to rest on his chest.
Just Gotham may have been her intention, but the world was in his eyes. Beware, beware sweet Ivy of the words the snake can twist. There will come a day where the even the ravens black against the winters mist will be singing the serpent's song as it rises up in to a dragon and engulfs the world in it's power. The sadistic grin kept it's place still on the coiling turmoil that plagued his diseased mind. His body leaned back as she pushed forward, but his hands slip down to her waist as he pulled her with him. Having no irk upon his child's powerful body. With his arms around her, he'd pull her to close the gap as his lips continued to toy upon the flesh of her skin.
His child, the herald king of serpents that bowed before the true ki... No, he had created life. To do that was to be a god. He was beyond the mere moniker of a mortal life. If training with Ivy had taught him anything, it was that he was the perfect being. She had failed to kill him despite of all of her might. Not that it mattered, he adored his flora fused beauty. Sanse on his shoulder mused quietly as his far larger cousin merely rested his head on his own body and left the two to it. Basilisk's own lips coming free from her flesh as he looked up and moved back to look her in the eye. "Anything you want... My darling..."
Gotham was definitely her intention, she wanted it to be covered in flora to be the face of what would be the perfection for children of the city to grow with the appreciation of what life would be to live among fruits and animals. The parliament of trees pleaded with her to begin with almost to have beyond the normal things in hand or heart. She was trying to comprehend how she felt whatever it was her insanity mixed the feelings of lust and love with no true identification. The only thing that truly made her uneasy was the giant snake, it's huge head turning to coil down near his back. Feeling him pull, Ivy was entrance with the contact but her brain remained alert despite the fluttering feeling in her stomach.
The child? It would grow into something amazing, surely over time it would be.. something she could deal with. For now, she remained on the other side away from the head of the creature. Ivy did not see herself a Queen, she did not see herself a good neither. She merely saw someone with the potiential to change gotham into something beauty those whispers in her head whispering she could have anything only to mingle with his words only made the insane woman's fingers linger on his cheek. "A new home and bloodshed." Was answered.
The chase was on, the rat ran for dear life as the lanky male hunted him down with hungry eyes. The serpent's glare strong as the small rodent squeezed under the door of a warehouse at the end of the alley, to which Liam without humane thought or consciousness barged through. He hardly noticed the surroundings as he had it in sight, it was close and he was sure he couldn't smell anybody close by. It was the primal hunger driving him so far as the rat continued trying to retreat, only to have it's attempt cut short. Liam's tongue had shot out of his mouth, stretching to impossible lengths and coiling like a snake as it wrapped around the creature before retreating to which it was swallowed whole. Liam's jaw waggled slightly as it momentarily detached for the task, his eyes closing as he felt the living lump slide slowly down his throat.
However, once the critter was safetly in his stomach, Liam started to notice his surroundings. His sense of smell was better then any human's and he could smell... Pollen, plants and other... Strange smells? His eyes open and finally Liam saw it, the paradise of flora surrounding him. The metal works of man entrenched in natures gifts and the man was stunned, perhaps since he was still wearing his office clothes... With a big bundle of curly hair... He should probably just leave. Despite being 6'9, he didn't really look that threatening... Save perhaps his emerald snake eyes.
Ivy didn't hear much of anything outside her.. utopia of flora, her babies, her children they were hers and hers alone. They were the fruit of the future also the fruit to life.. they had their lusts their needs.. underneath the ground they were feeding on many bodies of those whom were fitted to give them the right personalities.. to create the hive mind of her utopia.. at least her home. They would tell her those whom entered, those whom trailed into her home for her babies. She would protect them with a vengeance, the warehouse becoming more and more like an atrium. Glass now was above in a dome shape, vines coiled crystallized sugars creating this glass in various pinks and blues.
Ivy's figure was in a hammock of a flora of sorts, it was pink, dazzled in many green striations hanging from a large tree above. The tree's roots dug into the ground that was soil, the owner given up on fixing his 'plant' problem. Eventually gave her full reign over this.. plantation of what would be many different exotic flora life custom created to her leisure. The large tree had purple vein, glowing, moving up the long lines along with red on the very bottom.. which would be blood.. glowing blood. But one wouldn't notice for it was pink into the red making an aesthetic beauty. But, the doors to her.. lounge was.. pushed open and who could do that without some degree of strength?
Veins ripped, she sat up immediately as she see the veins recoil reform themselves without much pain she designed them to.. be able to take a beating because she knew some more human people had bothered. Sitting up, green eyes adjusted to look down at a tall man staring at all the plant life. What was he doing trespassing? He certiainly had no reason to be here other than.. it seemed eating? Her eyes stared for a moment trying to compress what to do since her babies could potentially be at harm. He could fucking be working with the bat for all she knew and that was the last of her needs. Sadly, there was only one way to find out.
Vines would coil near his feet, moving towards them not attempting to pin him but they swirled around him rising pushing him forward deeper into the flora forcing him to move. It was playful, almost to see what he would do, the flora brushing against him the pinks fading as he passed. Was there a reason for that? Well, when they were glowing pink.. they were poisonous, deadly, so they ..deactivated it seemed turning into a lovely pink patterned plant with green instead of glowing. They were soft, pillow like, they just gently brushed against him leaving him in an open space with a water an open space .. a water fountain it seemed? Vines coiled thousands upon thousands, leaving a pool with regular water, through a long ..odd look lion creature made of vines of plants came water from the mouth.
But the part that would throw him off, would be Ivy sitting cross legged on the edge of the fountain her right hand underneath her chin. Eyes scanning down him, hair shoulder length, red, curly but decorating her exotic features. Green eyes analyzed even gave him a once over, "Want to come and sit?" Her voice a purr, welcoming, she wanted to see just what he did.
Liam hadn't even meant to barge in, he just felt the primal hunger inside of him take over as he chased the rat digesting within his guts. The vines that coiled and forced him alarmed him, true shock was painted across his face. It was clear that he had never seen anything like this or expected it. As the veins moved him, he keeled over slightly, head bowing as he felt a rumble in his stomach. His own children... If her babies protected momma so dearly, then she would see what happened when daddy is threatened. It took it's time as the male looked as if he would throw up, perhaps to her it could be taken as a reaction to the poison, but alas Liam's own skin secreted deadly toxins often. He was use to poisons in his system. Finally as his still dislocated jaw opened, from it's depths a large Anaconda seemed to simply be born as it slithered free of his body and took to the floor. Hissing violently at the vines that where already leaving him at the waters edge. It was drenched, in the poisons that ran through Liam's body, giving it's slimy exterior a a gleam to it as with the planets gone the reptile started to lovingly coil around the male who straightened himself and looked at the woman.
She was gorgeous... Liam had never seen anything like her... It was as if she was like him, just less human in appearance. His heart skipped a beat at her visage as he went silent for a moment in his stare, the large anaconda resting it's head on his shoulder as it also looked at her with it's tongue stuck out in a silent warning. "Sure, just as long as no more vines try to molest me." He said rather wearily in his heavy Irish tone as he walked over to sit beside her, the snake moving slightly around him, but alas still holding close to it's father.
Didn't meant to barge in now? Really? How can one not mean to barge in? He did mean to barge in for the rat to be correct. He didn't know this place would be inhabited hell most people left it alone this was why it was the perfect place for her home.. for her babies. Her own children, but they were not as sentient as snakes.. they had to develop this consciousness which they had yet to reap from the bodies in the ground. They were without remorse, they were without consciousness which would be better just like his own snake. From afar, she seen him doubled over, her lips curling in a frown. Another who would die to the poison.. a misfortune but a gift at the same time. He would do great to the tree if needed but that wasn't fun either. She enjoyed talking once in a while.. a girl got lonely time to time.. her plants were very communicative but very immature at times. The green only offered the truee words but sometimes.. they were just silent.. ignored her.
Although, when the snake slithered from his mouth she let out a laugh of of glee. Well, he had tricks ..with snakes? That was interesting it was something she never seen before in her entire life to be exact. It was interesting to see him interact with his own.. children? Odd, but interesting she was no different in her own rites. Right arm moving to her cheek she would wait for him as he approached the veins easing away from the anaconda without harassing it. It wasn't trying to intercept violently it only wanted to push it towards the founder of this place, their mother. Ivy on the other hand analyzed him, took him in as he straightened himself. Tall, skinny, it seemed.. underfed? She wasn't sure, but his skin.. it was like hers.. soaked in toxin that gave her a curious lift of her head as her pale hand fell to bare knee. Green eyes staring, "Mn. Consumes the oxygen in the body and breaks down their cells." She mumbled, analytically, the woman's.. intelligence working at a high tone.
Once eye contact had been made her eyes just stared without a sound waiting for a response seeing as the snake had wrapped itself around him. Sucks, she wanted to get closer, she would just have to wait until he made himself closer to her then. It was okay she could wait, she just had butter fingers sometimes and couldn't help herself. "I can make sure that won't happen." She said, her voice simple, warm as she waved her fingers, vines moving away from him completely now as she tilted her head, red dancing in front of green eyes. Pale lips parting to a grin, a seductive one as her fingers trailed to her cheek head tilting as she perched her arm on her knee, "I can't guarantee anything on my part though."
Well, he had no idea what she was going on about beforehand, but alas Liam was quiet out of his comfort zone with it all. He hadn't really needed to use the full extent of his powers before, he had toyed with them all individually but... Did he really have to fight such a good looking lady? Something about her was simply... Enchanting and enthralling. As she moved her vines away, his serpent like eyes gazed out over the retreating flora and with that a soft hiss fled his own lips. In a way he had granted her silent wish to get close to him, as the anaconda smothering his body started to uncoil itself and proceeded to slither away a short distance. Close enough that it could get her in one mighty spring, but far enough so that it looked as if he was honoring a silent bargain.
Her laugh of glee before though registered as a strange perversion in his mind, but it soon flooded away as he laid eyes on her once more. The man inside the snake rising up as he merely shrugged and rose up a hand to run through his dark, curly hair. "Well you wouldn't be the first woman who wanted to sexually assault me, just proves you're not blind." He teased with a grin, though the strange happenings around him did truly freak him out... Something else calmed him. Was it something in the air? His sense of smell was strong, but all he could smell was various pollen and sweet nectar. He'd have to be careful... Or just be an idiot as usual and pray for the very best.
Ivy had no intentions of fighting unless he pursued a fight of course it was just one of those things. She was more curious about his biology now after that whole show what made him do that? What made him turn the snake into that.. creature from his mouth? She could explain her biology but on his? She could not. This moderation came with paticence showing she wasn't as threatened as she seemed at least. It seemed her justified his stance on her own veins it caused her to giggle it was an girlish sound from behind him as he hissed at them. "They won't harm you." She said, reassuringly as she shook her head on her head her eyes staring at him from afar as she tilted her head. Watching the snake leave her eyes she wasn't trying to threaten him so she merely sat there due to her usual cuddling with veins.. may throw him off she'd just sit there without any at all. Fingers gently tapping on her chin as he looked back at her she merely gave him a grin. It was warm, her teeth human as could be as was her features despite the translucent vines that ran along her skin.
Albeit, he didn't give her the satisfaction of being close sitting it was fine she herself would remain afar. Nothing wrong with staring for a while.. for a while only though. Her lips pursed once as she raised an eyebrow her fingers moving from her chin to her lap perched on her knee as she laughed in his general direction. "..Ohhh Really now? Do you have stories?" She said in return, her grin teasing in return as she leaned forward almost as if to listen. Yet, it was a seductive motion, giving view of the feminine aesthetic. Her eyes still staring, lips curled in a grin as she leaned back with laughter legs crossing once more her figure hand playing at the flowers on the fountain.
He wasn't worried about them hurting him, what could plants do? They wasn't that dangerous right? That's why the hippies didn't last. His eyes remained on her as they trailed shamelessly over her form, it seemed that her tone and stance had definitely worked on him as he actually gave a nod of approval, as if mentally saying 'I'd tap that'. "Well, of course I have some stories to tell, but I'd rather make some stories instead." He grinned and leaned in as well, his slim form leaning over as he was almost laid out on the waters edge. Now all he needed was a young man called Jack to paint him like one of his French girls. Still, she had a strange appeal to her. Though she had vines across her skin, she felt more familiar to Liam then most human girls... Perhaps it was just that due to the snakes living inside of him.
"So tell me, why is a lady like you keeping her goods locked away in here and not flaunting them to the world?" His own flirtation was almost comedic when tied in with his heavy Irish accent. His hand propping up to allow his head rest as he continued to look at her, his silt like pupils almost intense in their stare as he heard the soft hisses of his child off in the background. The snake had started to explore as it slithered around, coiling and climbing up the planets as if it was back in a nature it had never known.
Well, it was good his ignorance was bliss because her plants could do much more than just.. hurt him they could eat him quite literally but that wasn't of interest at the moment. He would be much more useful alive than dead like some of these fools who walked through here. It usually ended up with death from one encounter with Ivy but she didn't mind company either. Who said a girl couldn't get lonely from time to time? It wasn't like she had everything going here for her. Gotham wasn't covered in lovely flora in it was heavily disappointing. Hell, the city didn't even have trees in the streets.. it saddened her greatly. But, she'd listened to him as he grinned. Was it magnetic? Surely, she did have her ways after all but she didn't pursue heavily either she just merely enjoyed playing along with the small game of flirting. When he leaned in, she merely leaned back casually, her eyes never leaving. "Making stories is also fun~ Depending on how the writer writes." Fingers gently reaching moving through his hair once massaging almost. "Sometimes, he writes bad or he writes really well.." She said, her fingers stroking as she spoke simple in notion.
Considering the man was leaned so far out he could be one of those french girls Jack would be more than happy to paint. Then again, he really wasn't much of a girl either if he was.. he had a pretty convincing costume. Lips parting she'd retreat her hand as she placed it on her lap. "But, every story does have an ending. It's not fair if you don't tell me." She pouted, her eyes scanning his own. Staring at the slits, hm, deformed somehow.. but stable. She didn't understand it, something she couldn't pick down with just her eyes. His pose made her just stare down his head propped up her eyes staring down as she knew the snake was moving.. but it did not harm the flora therefore the mutuality remained. "The normal man who doesn't barf snakes from his mouth are usually not very attracted to all the flora." She said, in a whisper in his ear lips lingering for a moment as if in secret.
He felt a strange tingle rivet through his hair as she laced her fingers through his curls, his skin almost catching goosebumps... If it wasn't for his cold blood forbidding it, he would've probably have come up with a faint blush as well. "Well I know I could write with you all day." He slipped the words out that almost rolled off his tongue, the coiling words that twisted like the snake that was dangling above them now as it hung from high vines. Seemed both of them was in some form of paradise. Her whispered though sent another shudder down him, one that danced across his spine as he tilted his head to look back up at her, his lips now replacing where his ear had been as their held only a short distance from her own. He had almost been confused when she mentioned not telling her something, but this he understood well enough. In truth he had nothing to tell her, he knew nothing of why he was. "Clearly a man of my good looks and charm is anything but normal, I could say the same for the sexy, lady before me that controls plants."
His eyebrow raised with a smirk gracing his features in a sly caress as he continued to look up at her. She was strange... Enthralling though. His eyes may have looked like a snakes, but she was one to talk about being deformed. Her whole body was a contortion of human perversion and yet it was still beautiful and ravishing. Perhaps it was the cocky side to every man that made him want to play with fire, the knowledge that he had his own powers definitely helped. He'd have probably shat himself if he didn't have them here.
Strangeness, all the strange things sometimes it wasn't even those moments she was just enjoying the game really. It wasn't like anything was warm it was a simple place beyond the normal she had nothing better to do with herself beyond that. But she was trying to figure things out herself, just the whisper got her enough to her interested in playing this game of cat and mouse a little longer. His powers, the things she could use them for; she needed him for herself there was no reason beyond that. Poison Ivy's selfishness came with rapture, her fingers merely seated on the edge of the fountain her fingers moving to her thigh sitting there poking at her flesh for a moment nail after nail clicking as she got a response, "Really?" She said, her voice taking a interested tone her ears pinpointing the snake's hissing moving above in the trees and vines. Glancing up, she took notice it was above them but it hardly bothered her. Facing him, her leg shortly after tucking into her other thigh. "Far from normal, my love." Her voice taking a sarcastic tone, her fingers extending out to brush hair away from her face.
In his case, he'd have more use, her figure now got closer to his, her fingers on either side of his elbow her figure leaning over as her hair tilted in front of her face. Eyes staring at his, the female got bold in her decision her right hand grasping his face holding softly, moving through his hair a test of sorts. How resistant was he to her toxins? Her touch was gentle, fingers moving over his skin softly her lips parting as she breathed in his general direction, "Your not scared of me are you?" Whispered to him, her faces inches away from him the woman's fingers coming down his neck to his shoulder. But the truth of it is, her skin was now coated in an venom, curious how he would take to the contact. She wasn't attacking him presay~ but she was testing him.
His skin gave no clear reaction to her touch, though her sarcastic tone was played off in his mind by the bewitching features that had captivated him beforehand. He felt a soft trail left by her touch, it sent goosebumps up his spine, but her toxins had not an effect on him as he merely enjoyed her sensual touch. "Not one bit." He cockily retorted, his eyes raising up as their faces where lingered only a short distance again. It was as if the enthrallment of his senses and reason was diminishing the closer she was to him and he held no objections to the deadly sirens call.
Liam knew not of the Batman, he knew of him, but he wasn't involved in any side of the power ploy in his adopted home, nor any other city. His own free hand rose up to her chin, as he felt his thumb brush gently over soft skin. Perhaps it was the ambition of the snake, the dark cunning within every serpent as he felt his face drain slightly with his coming words. His features unknown to him had become much more pale, his cheek bones much higher and his face seemed to loose all traces of fat as his eyes curved into a true snake like fashion to match the slits. All he needed was for his nose to disappear and he would've truly looked like a snake/human hybrid. "Are you scared of me?" He purred out in a much darker tone of his Irish accent, the words rolling off a contorted tongue that from his few words showed to have contorted into a fork, along with fangs replacing canines.
His skin truly gave her no indication nothing had even changed really it was just him enjoying her fingers running up his face down to his shoulder. It caused her to know she couldn't exponentially harm him from contact.. he was strong among plants. This is what truly mattered, his snakes.. they could mingle in them could they not? Without truly harming them, she could use him.. as he could use her to learn. Would it not be the right thing? Was he not new at his powers? He was wearing civilian clothing, it just made her curious as her her eyes scanned over him. Vine like fingers holding taut there, poison seeping, seemingly.. nothing at all. Interesting, well, she knew her contact wouldn't have mattered at this point. Her eyes watching him staring, seeing as he had given her the reply she wanted to hear. This gave her some recklessness, her vengeance on gotham her need to fill he city with plant life. He could help her.. she could help him, her fingers remained on his face. A gem of sorts that walked into her abode huh?
Ivy was bold, often when she contacted men they died right before her crumbled into nothing.. sunken faces of mess. Their skin black, riddled with nothing but decay, the only thing left were their bodies.. so they were lingered underneath them littered. Much like a black widow, now they remained at rest feeding her children.. giving them knowledge she desired.. that they deserved. Seeing everything sink, curve, he became more frail.. poor thing. Did that effect his eating habits? Curiously, Ivy's fingers traced up his cheek, it was still soft her head tilted as she grinned. "I can pretend I am?" She said, playfully, her fingers gently pushing his shoulders, "Oh no~ Scary." She poised feigning, the woman walking away her eyes glancing behind him. "What ever am I to do~" She said, her fingers lingering around the plant.. yet she kept her ode to no veins only the flowers lingered up her arm. "Take this..~" She said throwing flower petals at him.. they did nothing.
Frail couldn't have been further from the truth, Liam's body was strong, his bones for one stronger then any human. Cheek fat was wasted on him. Liam still had no intention of helping anyone, good or evil. He wanted answers and the truth, that is why he came to America. All fucked up shit came from America, right? He let out a good humored laugh as she pretended to be scared and sat up as she walked away, his own frame rising up to it's towering height as his silts fell down on her frame shamelessly as she walked. When he was embraced with the rain of petals, he merely raised a brow. Was this a custom of some kind?
Not feeling so sure of himself, Liam did have modest control over his powers as he rose up his left hand. "And you take this?" He kind of asked in his unsureness, his fingers twisting as his hand came to soon resemble a collection of small snakes and with a flick of his wrist they flew out of his skin and at her, their tails revealing them to be rattlesnakes as his hand was revealed again with the total of nine snakes flying at her to either fall on to the ground or coil around her with modest hisses and tail rattles. Now if only he could figure out what the petals did....
He was frail in that instance definitely, she noticed it but it didn't deter her from feeling like he couldn't rip her in half if she didn't want to now did she? She was trying to figure out things herself if she couldn't figure it out she found answers. Yet, she what she truly wanted was leverage to consume gotham in plants.. he would be that leverage with a fair exchange of course. As much as she was.. bitter she was also sweet she would make sure he would feel comfortable in her presence among all the children. They were prideful in their beauty, to share it would be maybe just beyond an honor. Hopefully he seen the beauty in rapturing everything in flora and possibly his own children.. it would be beautiful. One always did say the serpent was hidden in the grass. It was one of those restless theories she pondered as he stood there not sure of himself.
Despite him not being so sure, she was amused in the factor of play as the snakes wrapped around her arm, Ivy only stared at them, lovely, now would they bite her was the only question? Her eyes scanned over them as she pondered if her home was going to be littered with them by the end of this interaction. Jeez, that could be bothersome if this didn't go the way she wanted. "Cute." She mused, her arm hardly bothered by it, her figure approaching as she stopped across from him her right arm was still consumed in the snake as her other was consumed in more flower petals. Right hand reaching she'd throw more petals at his face with her left hand. Her fingers shortly tangling up his chest her eyes scanning up. "Didn't realize how tall you were.." The tone in her voice soft, sultry, her right hand feeling up the curves of his muscles lingering.
Raising up on her tippy toes the woman's head curved up, hair coiling to the upper middle of her back, "I have something for you.." She said softly, offering him his children. It was his wasn't it? She didn't know what to do with them. Who knew, she was just trying to lure him in make him want to stay.
He didn't see how she found it cute, but the rattlesnakes didn't bite her, many simply slithered off to explore as the anaconda had done. To which it had come down from the vines with their movement and was relaxing itself in the cool water, only two of the snakes remained upon her and when she almost offered them up, they merely looked at Liam as if asking his permission to explore as well. A reaction coming was him simply sticking his own forked tongue out, a low hiss sounding as the twosome slithered down Ivy's body to join the bothers in slithering through the flora. "Simply adds to my looks." He retorted to her comment on his height, his eyes falling down her as she placed her hands on his chest.
Her touch brought back the sensation again, the lush shudder that riveted him. He looked down at the one who tip toed up to him, his brow raised again as he pondered her gift. "And what is that?" He asked curiously.
Many had parted from her fingers only two remained as she had offered them, the two snakes looking at him asking for permission it seemed he himself offered some type.. of direction. She didn't know, she could not speak snake she spoke plant exclusively so there was no other reasoning of where this was going. Seeingg the other two leave her hand was freed to place itself on his arm her figure within reach simply. Snakes gone, it seemed lingering with her plant life they had not harmed them.. just mingled with the pretty colored. An added spice it seems, the plant life welcomed it parted for them the sentient ones whom had.. absorbed enough life playfully helped them move through more rotten veins that didn't move because of the simple nature. Ivy's awareness of their location all through the building hive mind of her home. Yet, the only one she remained wary of was the large anaconda lingering above watching them. Albeit, it remained to her promise the thick veins from earlier remained from the far just moving about through each other as she had heard his comment.
Ivy's full lips parting to had another laugh, her fingers up to hold still against his arms her figure pressing into him softly, slowly. Her eyes looking down as her fingers soothed up his stomach. "Stay with me?" She offered, her eyes looking up, head tilting as she stared up. The woman's insanity fitting, making reckless decisions based on her own motivations. Her hands coaxing up, her eyes staring, "It gets lonely here~" She whispered, her fingers now perched on his chest, her eyes looking down. Reckless nature fit for a king as she felt not so much lost, but on par making him on the ropes to join her. To be normal, at least normal among her company as normal as unroll as he could be. It was a fitting offer, a gift of sorts, but who knew it would be a gift. She was just trying to work him into staying with her.. to give gotham the gift of plant life.
He was far from knowledged on Ivy's motivations or her true desires for wanting him there, but the closeness and her soft touch as their bodies met was enough to give him one idea. Given it was a very male and human idea, but it was all he knew of this world and that was something. The natural response of his arm was to entwine it with her waist as his arms became looped around her thin form, holding her as she asked her question to which a slight chuckle echoed from him. "Well.. I think I might be able to do that." She got lonely? It seemed she didn't have his own talent for blending in, perhaps it was true. A little sad even, she was an outcast and unable to live a normal life because of something that happened to her... Or was she born this way? Oh well! A shag is a shag.
Normally if he had been feeling like just winding her up, he would've just suggested getting a cat. But she was intoxicating and he felt one of his hands leave her waist as it came up to her chin to tilt her into facing him directly. His features inched only a short distance from her own. "Well, I think I can help remedy that." He purred out on his forked tongue, his ego stoked definitely as he felt joyous in the lush moment with the flora beauty. His snakes seemingly keeping out of trouble as the rattle snakes explored various plants, while the anaconda she had been worried by simply cooled itself off in the waters still. The temptation in the snake to fall asleep there, but it's eyes fixed on it's dad and the woman still... Waiting... Watching for trouble.
He didn't know what motivated her.. what fueled her it was the one thing she had returned to gotham for.. just go give it what it deserved plant life. It wasn't much to ask for, it's just not rightfor such a beautiful city to not have one single tree. They were beautiful, it would clear up the air, it was something that needed to happen. Her flora wanted more space, they did not like being cooped up here but for now? For now she would be okay with it. When the embrace was returned, a staccato excitement hit the woman. Would he stay? Would he help? It was all those stupid questions running through ivy as her stomach fluttered with excitement. It was far beyond her own, her fingers not moving anymore than they had she remained perched there cuddled with the man. An outcast? No, she could live among man.. those vines they could receded into her skin but she preferred to wear them. She just liked to pose as the girl left out.. when truly she could blend and blend very well. "Even if you just visit frequently.~" She said, her voice simplistic in tone as her fingers moved up to his upper shoulders still looking down.
A Cat? What kind of bullshit was that? Did she look like a cat person? No, she was more or less the spider kind of girl if she had to pick or snakes! It didn't truthfully matter really, she preferred animals over people truthfully. Ivy knew what she wanted and it was him her eyes staring up now as his fingers moved underneath her chin. Lips parting as she breathed in. "Can you?" She asked curiously, an almost 'hopeful' tone. Eyes staring, but the woman was joyous luring him right in. He would be hers, he would be her Joker like harley no? That would be fun to talk to her about.
"I'll visit as often as you want." Or more likely whenever he was down on his luck with the ladies and needed a quickie, but that he'd keep to himself as her hopeful tone rang out to him. It came as some kind of perverse glee to hear it from her, she had seem so strong and motivated before... Now she almost seemed cute in her excitement. "Of course." He cooed to her question as he'd close the gap and take the initiative, he didn't know much about powers and perhaps at first he was a little out of his comfort zone. But Liam knew a thing or two about women, with the area and her settling in, he focused more on the object of his enthrallment and his confidence projected. His lips would meet hers in a bind that would display his immunity to her poisons once again as he'd part her lips with his own in a gentle massage, his forked tongue slipping forward to play with her own.
His finger on her chin dipped down slightly to come back to her back, resting on her upper back while his other hand remained planted upon her curve. His lips eventually parting from hers, only to linger a short distance away as he'd stare directly into her eyes with his emerald silts. "I think I can definitely help you, my darling."
Ivy was as flawed as they came even as powerful as she was when she was tangled with someone she mingled with feelings didn't understand the difference between feelings. Seeing as he'd visit her she'd know this would give her the leverage she wanted to get what she wanted. It would be just that if he had coo'd at her question answering her. She'd grin, it was just a simple reaction, a force of habit whenever someone promised her something. It went past her ..transformation days, hell, she wasn't even born that way as he kissed her. She expected him like everyone else to crumple down into a pile of nothing at all.. and decay into the ground. Here we go, he was immune to it... completely because her lips were the most deadly as some would like to say she'd had been testing him with contact of her own poison the whole time. Fingers tangled on his chest raised gently, feeling, moving as she felt her butterflies grow with excitement.
Lips parting allowing the contact, Ivy just allowed him to take control fingers moving to the middle of his stomach. Staring at his eyes once he pulled away from the small contact they shared.Fingers trailed to move to his face, fingers moving to his cheek holding gently. "First, your name." She said, her fingers lingering down his cheek just simplistically Ivy wanting to keep him.. use him, he could help her bring the reign to gotham she wanted. "I'm Ivy~" She said, her voice soft, confident her hands bold moving down his neck.
He had almost and instantly said, well my name is important you'll be screaming it later... But he resisted the urge and was about to inform her his name was Liam when he heard her say Ivy. Was this some kind of identity thing? He wasn't sure, was this truly her name? It fitted her too well, he couldn't help but be skeptical. Well if she was a plant, then he was a snake and there was one snake that was more powerful then any other. "Basilisk." He was king of the snakes after all, the word rolled off his forked tongue naturally, the snakes ambition dripping off it as he felt something within him stir. He liked that name. To her further excitement, his ego was only stoked further as well as he mused over perverse thoughts in his head.
Gotham was of no interest to him, he wanted only the truth to his origins. Her gentle touch on his face brought him free of his temporary lapse into his own thoughts, his lips moving to catch one of her fingers as his teeth lightly bit it with a smirk lacing wide across his features. He was enjoying their little dance for what he thought it was, two powered beings out to get it on.
Well, he didn't want to be rude now did he? It was okay to be blunt but that blunt? Needless to say he made the right move not really doing that. Ivy was very meticulous, picky even, if she didn't care they would have been dead right off the bat or there would have been a fight one could say. He offered her Basilisk some type of snake god right? Something that came to mind when she was in college at one point the word rolling off his snaked tongue. Her eyes scanning over is face as he had finally liked that name it seemed whatever it was she was sure it was.. random. Giving thought to flame, wasn't that.. a little over bearing? Maybe something with his ego? It was the least of her cares, she wanted to start the flame to make him useful.. to make her babies flourish beyond these four walls with his own help of his ...children. Or stomach bile. She wasn't sure at this point.
While her fingers strolled on his lip he bit into skin, she felt the pinch but his finger was now in her mouth. Ivy's eyebrow raised in curious as he quite actually had him wrapped around her finger. Ivy's hand would receded as she tippy toed to peck him once, "Seems like I have you wrapped around my finger." Her voice sing song playing into the game more, but she was setting up for the long term.. not the short. It would be these small things that would help her get what she wanted.
He felt her peck come and he returned it with the swift motion of his lips pressing back for the brief encounter. Children, they was living and sentient, he simply had a different reproductive system to others. Her words though, something about them he didn't like. He felt the snakes ambition coil inside of him, the venom it spat to the notion was acidic and vile. But he remained composed in his wavering demeanor, he knew what he wanted, he had played her game and now he wanted his reward. "Indeed, but I'd prefer it if you had your legs wrapped around my waist." He purred out, his inner lad finally getting the better of him as he confessed out his built up desire for the hybrid. His teeth lingering down to find her ear as he'd pay her a bite to her lobe, his fangs holding back out of desire not to give her an ear piercing.
Meanwhile his hands on her back slipped down to her rear, gliding over the curve of her form as he'd trail his lips softly over her skin from her ear to press a kiss to the crook of her neck. She may have wanted his power, she may have wanted his abilities and she may have wanted Gotham under her heel... But that long term planning and Liam? He was thinking for the present and how he was gonna leg it afterwards.
This was where Ivy would gain her momentum, her fingers were wrapped around his neck as the peck came the female tangled up with him standing there as she knew there was some sort of chance. How everything settled with a simple blunt tone. He wanted her between him? So she'd just decide to use it to her advantage her fingers coiled down his chest her head tilting to his bite at her eat red tresses tickling against his nose the woman's figure smashed against his simplistically. Poison hadn't done a thing, usually, they'd be dead at this point long gone from the pattern of things. It was odd being tangled with someone simply tangled, but Ivy remained firm in her own desires. To have him wrapped up with her would be nice but it wasn't exactly ideal if he didn't return the favor. "I'd prefer if you stuck around so I can help you hone your abilities..You want a lay and I want what your capable of" She said, her fingers grasping his shirt gently moving her fingers underneath soft fingers running up his flesh as his had moved.
Soft kisses, moving down her figure, it was odd to know he wouldn't die unless she forced a bacterial overgrowth in his lungs. But he was to useful for that, her right hand coursing up his abdomen moving gently. Giving intention, at least some intention Ivy using her body as a tool a method to get what she wanted. It was hardly her care if he wanted to screw her brains out, most died in the process, he would probably be the only one to walk away to say he had his way with Poison Ivy without dying. Fingers didn't move any further the woman curious of his reaction as her hips eased away showing signs of withdrawal, gauging the situation as it was.
It was strange for him as well, his own flesh secreted poisons like her own when endangered. With what happened at the beginning of their encounter, Liam was assured that his skin would be riddled with venom from head to toe. He'd probably have to either bite her or spit poison directly into her eyes or mouth in order to damage her that way... Or turn his snakes and summon up more brutal beasts, like the anaconda that seemed to be giving them some privacy as it's head finally turned and it's eyes shut finally in the sleep it desired. "Seems like a fair trade, it would be nice to... Be the true king of the serpents, queen of plants." He mused out in a purr, he had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain, he had no desire to use his powers at all. But lying to a woman to trick her into bed... It was a skill that he was well trained in.
Her touch was so enticing, he almost couldn't help himself. When her hips backed off slowly, he took a step forward to close any forming gaps with his hand upon her rear firming up to hold her in place. Of course, if she truly wanted to break free of the tangle they was in, she would have. His head arose from the crook of her neck, but came only to rest his forehead against hers as he'd peer down at her, his emerald silts gauging her as she did him. It seemed to be a battle of what they wanted, but would she conceed for the chance to get what she desired? Gotham, the world? Nothing that Liam wanted at all.
Poison Ivy was powerful had spent years honing herself, her abilities, simplistic things like poison didn't phase her but his anacondas strength? They would definitely, to be contained unable to move would be her downfall. Why would she upset someone so useful? Someone who could help her show the miracles of plant life to all those whom deserved it while the others burned in the ground feeding the more sentient life.. the superior life. The more she was caught up in her vengeance the more reckless she became Poison Ivy mistaking things for lust into love often times mixing this intense need to show batman what truly meant of this world meant putting things on the line such as her body even so it's not like she had any intention of letting something like him go. He gave her reasoning.. but it wasn't good enough; Ivy's eyes stared back her fingers simple on his stomach not moving as she eased off him by almost a foot in silence.
As much as she had done so, he took a step forward his grasp on her behind making her step into hold her in place without much second hold. Did she want to break free? No, truly not because it was rare she could truly enjoy herself with someone as often times they died sickly.. horribly. As insane as she was she was still humane, but she also had a agenda. An agenda which was far more important than her personal life, brittle, and decayed as it was. Fingers underneath his shirt, moved up to his shirt, moving along up his back feeling, massaging. "Then you won't leave..~" Her voice was simple, rather contained twisted, veins rushed towards the door, many veins, breaking from the ceiling almost torrentially. They dashed past both of them leaving this thick wall of vines, brick, bark, earth even submerging in between as the ground below them shifted.
The wall thick, veins building upon the door.. the only entrance keeping it far from access it would be days.. maybe even months unless he found a way to subdue Ivy. Was that really what he wanted? Everything getting more complex by the second as the game continued. Stipulations upon stipulations, her right hand now grasping his spin forcing him close to her her lips closing on his neck, biting down softly, in a series of levels until it was hard. Left hand gracing his pictorial underneath his shirt as she caught him with her own series of bites.
Liam's eyes went as wide as his silts would allow as she barricaded them in her little paradise, he was almost too stunned to register her bite or advances on his body as his cheeks came out again. His features returned to looking very human as only his snake like eyes seemed to remain in the end as he pulled himself off her rather quickly and stepped back. "The fuck..." Was all he could muster as the sudden movement of plant and earth caused the anaconda to raise it's head and give a threatening hiss as the sound of many small rattlesnakes rattling their tails also filled the air. Liam was god smacked, point at the door that had been closed away from him as his jaw hung low in shock. "Now... I've done some pretty strange stuff for a shag... But you, Psycho Tits are crossing the line."
He marched straight past her and towards the door, bewildered by how compact it was... he doubted he would be able to move it without her stopping him, he wasn't that strong unless it was constricting. "Jesus, woman! If you're this lonely, get a cat or try internet dating!" He declared as he turned around, throwing his arms up in the air for a second before they flopped down to his sides, his features exasperated before he suddenly saw. She had powers and was trying to trap him, this wasn't some moody bitch who just wanted him to call her back. "Open the door." He demanded, a anger filling him as he rose his hand again to point again, at her this time as his mood seemed to change very quickly.
The shirt she had once roamed her hands under moving again, his skin contorting as from under the fabric two new faces appeared, two anacondas where coming from his body, one from his stomach and the other from his back. Though still attached to him, they seemed real and already where hissing at Ivy like their brethren in the pool.
[9/12/2015 3:50:27 AM] Boo: Well, a change occurred in the moment he had given her the barricade taken away from the point he noticed it was enough for him to pull himself off her as she raised an eyebrow. An entitled stare one that didn't say she regretted her choice nor anything else it. It just told her one thing, maybe he was useless.. he didn't mean it certainly either. Ivy was reckless definitely far from the normal female. Right hand resting on her hip, her eyes scanned over he had to keep in mind they were in her territory... she didn't think of it that way. All she knew she was being warned at that point the separation between them left her frowning. "Mn~ I don't think so." She said, her voice simple rather straight to the point as she had glanced over to him moving past her. It was thick, very thick, how was he going to deal with that anyway?
It was very compact, he couldn't movie t without anything as he had now shouted about her trying internet dating and a cat? Wow, that was pretty sultry. She'd see his person gains were more than his own desires. It made sense, but that made him useless. Ivy raised an eyebrow, "No." Was the simple answer in return, the green of the plants turned pink as well as the ground it seemed as more vines gathered about tingling tightly. It was intense, motionless, Ivy's figure moved to the right.
"You will earn your freedom then." There was venom in her voice, the woman was far beyond the normal. She was sick in her brain, "Or you will be buried with my babies..~ To think I could have trusted you" She said softly, her right hand extending thousands of veins waited for him to attack, "Or you can do this the easy way and stick with your bargain." She said, her hand coiling, vines dancing up her arm.
vines* <--- Lazy Liam is lazy.
Well, this was unexpected... He'd kinda forgotten in his rage that this was her home after all. It didn't matter, he wasn't going to be her toy. His tongue coiled out in a hiss before retreating, it was only a moment later that his mouth opened up again before erupted in what could explained only as explosive vomiting. What was truly happening though that a hoard of snakes was being unleashed from his mouth towards Ivy, cobras, pythons and other breeds galore where sent from Liam's withering stomach in a march of slithers and hisses. The anacondas where ready as well as they detached and slithered free on to the floor, the whole army ready at Poison Ivy and more where still coming. Little over two hundred snakes already and Liam showed no sign of stopping.
[9/12/2015 4:13:15 AM] Boo: Ivy wasn't going to show remorse, it wasn't her style if he didn't want to be with her he wouldn't be with anyone. It was a simple matter to be resolved he had his choice now he would be disposed of properly. It would be a quick and painful death, nothing to be of matter with it. Maybe then she could hone something out of his essence for her children. It was sad it had to come down to that though. Ivy's right hand sat on her waist as she watched him puke on an onslaught almost periodically seeing maybe four or more snakes from from his mouth.
Suck it had to come from his mouth though, she couldn't imagine what his stomach looked like. Right hand would leave her hip as she stared at all of them readied. "It's sad, I liked you too.." She coo'd her right hand flicking the snakes being tangled in thick vines, coiled, squished in them preventing them from moving. Ivy on the other hand was just... relentless keeping her promise to a smooth death. No reason beyond killing him for a name stake she would just use his body to create a plant snake thing maybe. She didn't know, figuring it out would come with time.
Right hand extending the veins at ready and from the wall behind lashed at him, pierced him in every possible direction at once like stakes. Once he had been.. pulverized by thousands of veins the woman merely flicked her wrist they all pulled back at once dropping his so called corpse. Lips pursing into a slight frown, "I hate doing that to the nice ones.." She grumbled, as one long vein climbed up to her arm, her nose nuzzling into it. "Don't you?" She purred, lips gracing the vein.
vine* <--- Still lazy.
The embrace of thorns was painful but quick, Liam could feel his blood cementing the ground as his body riveted with pain. Had it really come to this? Killed because he was chasing a rat... Fucking Americans. He felt his body drop with the vines retreating, he could hear his snakes hiss out as the smaller biters where caught up and forced to wait as the much larger constrictors came to tangle with the vines to their rescue. They didn't come for Liam though... Like they knew something he didn't. Liam hit the ground hard, he felt the blood pour but at the same time he felt it stop. He had felt this strange sensation before, the first time he shed his skin as a young man. He had awoken to the feeling of his skin flaking off him, like a real snake...
Moments of hissing passed as would leave it to believe for Ivy he was truly dead before it happened. From Liam's lifeless mouth, a single hand reached out. Drenched in venom like the first anaconda had been and blood like a newborn, from there so did a second as it pried his dead mouth open, tearing at the lifeless skin as what came to be was a naked and unharmed Liam crawling his way out of his ruined skin. Coughing as he crawled, he felt his lungs splutter out as he felt the warm atmosphere again his soaking body. His cold blood relishing in the heat.
He was alive? His eyes came up to see his would be killer, his silts fixated for a moment as he came to stand finally and point at her again. His manhood on show for all due to his clothes still being on his dead skin. "Ha! Another ace up my sleeve, can't kill me, Psycho tits!" He declared joyfully, sounding rather surprised himself as his snakes seemed to give a joyous hiss to their lord and father being declared in good health.
Of course it was painful, considering thousands of thick veins were just going through him into him s he had dropped to the ground she just stared at all the blood on the ground. Vines came up sapping it, drinking from it as she had tilted her head n his direction waiting for the moment where she could scoop up the body after killing all the snakes. It was sad she had to, she enjoyed them as she kept her fingers along the vines that shortly grew into a venus fly trap looking creature her head nuzzling with it's as she scanned at the larger ones tried to content with the vines. It was odd how they didn't rescue him.. but she disregarded it. "We'll scoop up the body later.. feed you." She said stroking under it's chin as it danced up her arm. The woman letting go of the situation completely.
Hearing someone shouting? His voice? Turning, her eyes scanned over his face staring as he sputtered out into the open.. from that attack. Great, he learned how to molt. See, there was some good in this after all. It just sparked her desire to keep him alive even more. Turning, she'd raise an eyebrow, "Oh, you learned how to molt, Cute." She said, her voice simple passive on it as she finally turned in his direction raising an eyebrow.
"You didn't even know you had that trick up your sleeve, Bas." She said, simply, her voice flat, no tone what so ever. Amused though, she was amused her psychosis making her switch between docile and sweetness it seemed. The display of power just made her not want to make him leave at all.
She had him there, his hand balled up into a fist as he cursed it with an annoyed look on his face. First things first though, he had his children to help. Storming forward towards the vines that had trapped his children, he'd merely give a low hiss that was all the encouragement they needed as one by one they started to wriggle their way free. The ones that found themselves not so easily set free threatening the nature with their fangs as the army dispersed out into the garden and truly did fill the flora with life. Storming off again, the two anacondas remained by Liam's side as he marched his way towards the water to join the third, not caring much as he boldly strode his naked body into the crisp waves and merely rag dolled.
The water washed over his stained body, cleansing off the venom and blood to which the trio joined him as as for when he sat up with his curls sticking to his face, they immediately all curled around their farther. "Powers... Who fucking asked for them...? What do you even want with me? All I ever wanted was a normal life and to find out why I am like this... Maybe it was wrong to just try and seduce you for a shag, but... What do you want with me, Ivy? Aside from my good looks and obviously well endowed penis."
It was enough to get a rise out of her as he had managed to get shit out and enough the other snakes freed. It hardly bothered her, the veins even receded for them a bit she enjoyed seeing them struggle a little. It was always fun watching someone struggle; she was quiet as he was getting shit situated with himself. It was fine, everyone needed space right? It's not like he was going anywhere for a while. Turning away the woman merely mingled with the venus fly trap creature. A silent communication between her touch and it her fingers moving over it as it's veins were dug into Liam's blood.
Once he had stormed off past her, her eyes glanced over her shoulder towards him her eyes glancing over to the large fountain as he just.. laid in it. Odd, wouldn't one use the mouth of the lion to bathe? She was lost and confused. The woman acted as if she did nothing wrong all together as she shrugged and settled back to petting the creature in front of her. Her fingers stroking along the venus fly traps oval head the large teeth growing it's size.. doubling over time.
Yet she herself turned, listening to his next statement her right hand rested on her hip a she listened to him his asking. Statements, she could have lied to him and told him she just wanted to scare him a little but that was beyond her streak, "I didn't ask for mine. Freak accident in a lab." She said simply in return, her fingers stroking over the plant it's vines moving up her arm and waist embracing her. "I want to show gotham what we can do, love." Her fingers stroking down the head of the now snapping plant. "We can paint gotham how we want it..~" She said softly, "The largest of snakes and the tallest of trees for them to tangle themselves in.. your babies having a home rather than in hiding." She said, her voice almost a coo as she spoke to her plant rather than him.
Her fingers coaxing along the length of the veiny leaves, softly, running over it the veins glowing pink the top of the venus fly traps head growing pink also with some red, "No need to worry about blending.. just being normal with the embrace of your own powers.." She said, her figure coaxing the venus fly trap to follow it only tangled it's self around her waist before it let her go as she stopped as the fountain sitting next to him. Gently she splashed him in the face, "Intentions will be intentions~" She purred, her fingers moving to her cheek. "Plus, It's not like I can get laid often with poison killing people right after that next one. I'd keep you around for sex but sadly I also have other things to worry about too, Bas." She said casually crossing her legs as she flicked her fingers adjusting the mouth of the tiger plant thing to pour water on his head.
His head bowed slightly as the water poured down on him, he avoided her features as he merely stared at his reflection. "I never wanted any of this, Ivy... I just wanted to know why I was born this way." He sighed out, his snakes coiling and hissing around him as the silts he held as eyes shut off for the moment. Should he do it? Actually use his powers for something? This green she was talking about...? He liked civilization though, his warm bed and TV, plus who would make his beer if they took over the world!? Maybe there was another way, but perhaps learning to control his abilities would be worth something if it helped him find the truth. "You're asking a lot of a stranger." He finally concluded, his eyes opening as he turned his head to finally look at her as the passing water continued to plaster his curls on to his skin. A rather blank expression crossing him as his trio of children all also rose their heads to stare at the mother of nature.
Ivy wasn't really interested in the story he had she wanted to create one like that was spoken of earlier. Ivy's right hand tapped on her knee as she tilted her head in his general direction the woman sitting on the edge of the fountain not within the water. Right hand supporting her weight as she leaned there, "Can't help what you already have." She said, her right hand moving coiling, vines shortly growing out of the woman's arm when her fingers flexed her skin briefly turned grin to eject late pink vines coiling around her fingers as she moving her fingers about in a circle staring at the colors. Where was he going with this? She was getting slightly impatient, but she didn't show it not after the little spat they had with her killing him ..for him to molt she'd rather not get out of hand with her own selfishness.
Ivy glanced over her shoulder in his direction, the woman's right hand finally letting off her weight as her left foot dipped into the water as she faced him eyes scanning over his face staring at what seemed to be blank. Nothing there, so to speak, Ivy's right hand placed in between her as she leaned to face him. "I am not actually." She said, her voice in return, sweet, sultry alluring almost as she tilted her head.
"I'm not saying to show gotham the green and snakes right away.." She said, her voice patient, her right hand curling the woman's fingers allowing the vines to dance up her arm. "I'm patient, Bas. I can help you learn about your powers, maybe I can work with you to find it's origins, no?" She said, her fingers curling into a fist as the vines dropped into nothing just attaching themselves onto the seated part of the fountain. As she had done so, the fountain began to have striations of pink gently growing along it's outside.
He leaned back again, a gentle hiss leaving his lips as the anacondas surged through the water, though they wasn't aiming to attack or anything of the sorts. They seemed to coil around one and other, twisting into place as they cushioned Liam and allowed him to lay in the pool without being fully submerged. His eyes just watched the flowers and plants, the tints of pink flaring up as he stared at nothing in particular now. It was a lot to take in, considering today he had just packed in a day at the GCPD and was on his way home. What was this madness? A sigh left his lips as his eyes closed again for the moment, weighting up the options in his head. "I work for the GCPD... If I just disappear, they'll look for me. On top of that, I need food and other things to survive. Even if I was to stay here, you'd have to understand I need to keep up appearances."
It was as close as he was going to get, Ivy knew this crazy world of powers, she had connections he didn't. Perhaps he could use them, perhaps he could reach out to others and uncover the truth via her. Either way, learning how to control his powers wasn't something he was going to sniff at. "If you can accept that, then I agree to the deal." He finally answered as he opened his eyes again to the flora delight, once again staring at nothing as his hands came up to rest on the skin of his bare stomach. The water softly splashing around his form as a few of the other snakes from before started to come to it's edge to investigate, some surveying the area while others quenched their thirst. "You'll need to find food for these guys as well."
Ivy wasn't tell hell bent about it she was trying to configure things make things work for him as well her. Something mutually beneficial, even if he didn't want to do anything with gotham it was still a step forward for his trust. Something to get him motivated to do her interest in the greater picture as she placed her fingers underneath her chin. Green eyes stared at him as she focused on his face trying to give some insight into his mind. What was running through it? She didn't have any insight as she had cusped her chin eyes staring. GCPD? Lovely, that wasn't exactly bad either it gave her.. notes on Batman his location this could actually work. "..I understand the need to keep up appearances." She said, her voice simplistic understanding.. sultry.
Poison Ivy's hips adjusted the foot in the water moving to have another as both feet were soaking within her ankles gently crossed over one another as her right hand reaching to one of the snakes her fingers gently coiling around it as it climbed up her arm. "I can sweeten this for you.." She said softly, her voice seductive almost rolling off the words. "I'll keep your children safe out of harms way and well fed among the veins where they feel at home it seems." Leaning forward, the woman's curvy hips adjusting back her right hand moving the snake forward betwixt her knees as her thumb gently curled over it's head. Gently, her finger curled over the head of the creature staring down at it before her eyes glanced up to him.
"In return, for that.. you return to check up on them for now we will.. keep it mutual, no?" She said, her right hand curling the scary door bit slowly dismantling, exposing the door which he came in. Granting him the freedom he craved her fingers coaxing over the head of the sentient creature eyes locked on him. "If you feel the need to learn something then we work on it at your pace. Needless to say, you spitted out hundred of children I doubt your land lord will appreciate them.." She said, giving him another insight.. the problem of having many snakes now.
Oh how she would be disappointed to hear he was just a filing clerk, however he was often handling files for major case squads and that did often cover a lot of the instances involving Batman. Perhaps it could work for her even better, that was if he even cared for helping her by the end of this. The snakes ambition was strong, it weaved it's way through his veins and oozed into his blood. "Then I accept the deal." He finally came to answer, his snakes all giving a little hiss, seeming to understand the conversation to a degree as they started to explore their new home a little closer now. The anacondas didn't move however, nor the cobra that Ivy had entwined her attention with. Liam on the other hand merely rose up, water dripping from his cleansed form as finally the anacondas parted and went their separate ways. "I'll take the shag after I've dried off." He teased, giving a retort to her sultry tone in his own comedic, Irish flirtation.
Wading through the water, he stepped out of the pool and past her, clearly not shy of his manhood as he sat with his back to the water beside her, eyes staring out on to the luscious floor. "Really worked out well for you, me stumbling in here like this." He muttered out with a sigh, he still didn't like it... Powers and all. He wanted to be normal, to go down the pub and work till he met the right woman and stopped sleeping around. To think he could try and just bed such a strange woman... He shook his head slightly as his curls dispelled a small amount of water, sticking back up slightly. When his gaze adjusted up, he looked on to the shedding that use to be him. The discarded shell still wearing his clothes... Well at least he still would be able to get dressed after this. At least his children would be safe... At least he would have someone to share this hardship all with and if it was mutual and the deal was still the same... He was getting laid.
Ivy crossed her legs her foot gently kicking up water here and there her eyes staring at her toes, the odd spirals of flora moving through her leg giving an odd veiny look of small vines climbing up her legs almost like a tattoo aesthetically pleasing moving up her sun kissed skin. Eyes staring down she had waited for his reply, his reaction but when he finally answered to accept? The woman felt excitement, even if she had to work this in baby steps she had noticed the smaller snakes take their leave in her home. She'd glance at the one on her arm slide down into the weeds her eyes scanning over it as she stretched her fingers before they closed into a fist. A grin on her face as she finally heard him admitting he still wanted a piece of ass. Her eyebrow raised as she just raised an eyebrow. She'd remain silent for a moment as she just ended up laughing as she herself turned her feet out of the fountain her figure lying down on the edge of the fountain stretching her head resting on her arm.
"Worked out well for me?" She said, her voice soft, her eyes staring at him from the crook of her arm n her laid position. Ivy taken a lazy pose as she grinned in his direction it complimented her appearance the sweeter side of the woman. "It has but I have also made an acquaintance and also gave my children friends.." She said simplistically, the woman wasn't exactly making him take over gotham either. It was a simple deal, she housed his snakes and he would return to check on them.It wasn't hard, but in Ivy's mind she had won. Her laziness just came with the good fortune and often times she in her abode enjoyed the feeling of flora underneath her skin.
It had been a long night before Liam finally retreated from Ivy's lair, answering her questions with simple shrugs and gestures before he finally found himself back in the confines of his humble abode. It felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, everything was leaning on him all of a sudden and now this strange vixen was offering him to help him control his powers... What next? He didn't know exactly what she meant... To show Gotham the green and the snakes... She wanted to take over the city? Maybe it would do the city some good, but what about the people of the city? What about them? Did they have a new place in this utopia she wished to create?
It was hours before Liam could finally fall asleep.
In the morning as his alarm blared, he could feel his energy drained so much from the day before. A quick phone call in and a sick day was in order as Liam closed his silts to the world again, only awaking when he felt the sun rise up to his high rise studio and wake him up once again. His head was pounding, he had sat up to rub the sleep from his eyes and brush his curls out of his face. Did he dare even return to her? The mad woman? Surely if he just let it be she would just let him be? She wasn't that crazy was she...?
Disguise, he didn't think she could do such a thing but she could it wasn't hard to pull the vines into her skin with enough sunlight her skin could become more of a normal 'tanned' tone. It was enough for the woman to look normal enough to follow one snake that seemed to want out of the warehouse. Glancing down the woman noticed the snake bouncing wanting to go back to it's father it seemed. it was a cobra? A rebellious of the bunch? It only made her smirk, this little guy wanted to go home now did he? "Just wait one second, lovely. We'll visit your father." She said, her voice casual, the snake seemed to understand as it patiently wrapped itself up. Waiting for her to return to leave, she'd leave to what seemed to be her room personally on a platform. The woman's right hand making a long stair of crystalline sugar her figure casually climbing up it as her fingers rode along the railing.
Approaching what seemed to be a small bag, the woman pulled on some fitted jeans with disgust. "Can't remember the last time I bothered with clothing." The female grumbled as a white bra and tank top were fitted snugly, barefoot she walked up to the snake her fingers reaching to the creature, "Shall we go?" She said, the snake lifting it's head staring shaking refusing her fingers. "Oh a leader type." She said purring amused as her foot opened the door the snake slithering out leading the others.. hardy bothered enjoying their new home. The woman closing the door behind her vines locking everything within. Casually, as she walked the vines on her skin disappeared the woman's hair skin becoming more of a sun kissed color. Photosynthesis, repairing as she had followed the snake leading the way it seemed to rush excitedly following what seemed for it to know exactly where he was.
After some odd time of walking she found it rearing up, hissing at an certain window, "Hm? How to get up there." She mused, finally offering her hand this time the snake coiled up to her shoulders. Amused as she was the woman climbed up the fire escape rather than using her powers.. gave way for her disguise. Approaching the window, the snake picked a certain one out by hissing dramatically. Turning on her heel, she'd merely laugh, "Smart thing you are." She said, her voice soft, her fingers now lifting.. the unlocked window to climb through closing it behind her. Seeing he was still asleep, the woman easily mused around his apartment as he'd wake to a cobra moving towards his bed happily to see him.
That was just what he needed, as he wiped the sleep from his eyes he was greeted to the sight of one of his king cobras looking very happy to see him as he merely stared at the serpent that stuck it's tongue out as it proceeded to slither up it's father's arm and around to his neck. Not that Liam was displeased to have the young snake happily around him, hissing in contentment, but if one of the snakes had followed him home... Then that meant. Shame on him for thinking he could just leave her and everything else behind as he turned his eyes from a blank stare and tilted around till he saw her... Looking much different. He much rather preferred her natural look in all honesty, but that was the least of his worries. The cold wind blowing in from his open window brisked through the room, his studio was hardly nothing compared to her paradise. A sofa bed, TV, basic kitchen, the toilet and a cage full of mice was all he really had. Something that caught the serpents attention as it stared out at the squeaking rodents.
"Ivy." Was his singular welcome to her as he rose up out of his bed, having only worn boxers to bed his scarred torso and skinny frame was freely on display. He slightly ignored her, a habit of having just woken up as he slumped out of bed and dragged himself towards the cage. She had seen him eat before and it wasn't like he cared for much, she was in his home. He picked open the top of the cage and reached in, taking out one mouse that he merely knelt down to let scurry on to the floor, the cobra around his snake looking up as Liam gave a low hiss that ended up in the snake slithering from his form and starting a chase with the now petrified rodent. Now to feed himself as he rose back up and picked up a second mouse, closing the cage as he turned to face her. His tongue tongue slipping out as he placed it on to the muscle, wrapping the animal up before his jaw twitched to dislocate as the tongue recoiled the swallow the creature whole.
All the while, his silt like eyes stared lazily at her, questions rummaging through his head though held back by the laziness of the morning. The mouse clearly going down his throat as a lump, before it disappeared into his stomach to be digested. His jaw twitching back into place. "What are you doing here?" He finally asked with a small breath as he stretched out his skinny form, bones giving an audible click as he did.
Poison Ivy was recourseful there was a reason why she loved to have those snakes in her home it kept her linked to him. They would want to visit them none the less, this one in particular was a rebel and didn't like being away from him. Ivy was musing asa plant in his window that didn't.. look okay, with her right hand reaching out the vines curled around her fingers and it came to life within seconds. It was growing petals, beautiful blues and pinks, it wasn't poisonous but exotic,t he striations having these intense oranges as her eyes stared at it for the moment her right hand pulling away as she turned to face him as he spoke to her. Ivy's right hand curling to rest on her hips as she stared at him from afar her eyes staring at him as she tilted her head in his direction. Eyes idle scanning over his face as she did not say much of anything.
The extended hand at the plant flicked once more s it's petals breached high and healthy again. Her fingers falling to the side, "Bas." She said, in return, her voice simple rather straight to the point. The woman was hardly crazy at the moment it seemed. She merely just returned his child to him. Watching the snake and cobra go to play with their prey she'd merely place a hand underneath her chin musing in their chase. Adorable, she loved preying on the weak sometimes her eyes would dart back to Liam seeing him.. eat a snake. Well, that was.. disgusting all at the same time interesting seeing his jaw snap. Giving incentive for him to just swallow the live animal whole. Lovely.
Yet, she'd lean on the wall across from him, her eyes looking up to his superior height as she laughed, "I promised to take good care of your kids." She said, her voice idle, "One wanted to be with you so I made sure he came safely without any suspicion." She said to him, her right hand soothing hair back from her right ear. Eyes watching with delight, curiousity, "You have a lovely home, but your plant needs to be watered.. it didn't like the neglect." she said again, this time a little more serious but playful.
Shaking his head as his child Cobra slithered around, chasing the mouse under the bed where a small squeak, hidden from sight signaled the end of the chase. Like that was the whole truth. He didn't mind much for the plant that she was talking about, in all honesty he had forgotten he had one. "To be honest, that was there when I moved in. I thought it was rubber." He shrugged off, his form slugging itself back to bed as he flopped his skeletal frame back down on the sofa mattress. His eyes briefly remained on the plant as he rested his hands behind his head, letting a yawn slip free before a burp from his previous meal slipped up. "So you're still here then?" He asked curiously, his brow raised as he shuffled slightly in his boxers for comfort. Hmm. Comfy.
Poison Ivy was focused the task at hand, as he had finally lost interesting the moment the woman raise an eyebrow as she had gotten quite agitated over his comment about the plant. How could he ignore such a precious thing? It had been crying for weeks maybe! She followed him passive aggressively her figure hoping onto the bed. "How could you think such a thing?" She said, her voice harsh as she approached him. The woman's fit for insanity as she sat on top of him her fingers pressing down on his shoulder her aggression showing, agitation. "It was dying!" She shouted at him, the woman's fingers resting harmful, but again the poison didn't do anything to him as she was merely straddled there. Realizing, she couldn't kill him by conventional.. usual means, hell, it was.a habit to just touch for a kill. This time she couldn't, once he said the next thing he said Ivy scoffed.
Her figure rolling off him as she rose, her fingers soothing out her hair with her fingers her eyes staring over at him as she had tried to reign her own anger. She needed him, she couldn't get to mad at him. Not just for something as so dumb, finally she just shook her head the woman's figure rising as she glanced to the bed where underneath two snakes were coiled w it dinner. Whom had one that one she pondered. Yet, her fingers coaxed through her hair as vines finally exposed themselves along her skin the sun-kissed tone becoming slightly more pale jaundice.
Liam had been surprised by her sudden desire to straddle him, he was use to angry women, but most women didn't react this way when angry. Most simply hit the other, but what was this supposed to be? Hate sex? The thought of poison was far from his mind as she scowled at the woman who simply looked up with bewilderment at her clearly crazy demeanor. He didn't say anything to her remarks about the plant, just best to leave it forgotten as she rolled off him and started to revert back to her original look. A grin slowly caressing his features. "I prefer you like that, less clothes as well." He remarked as he turned himself slightly on the bed to view her, silts staring shamelessly at her rear as he propped up an elbow to hold his head up in his hand.
The cobra that had lead her here slowly slithering out of the dark crevice to her feet, as it lazily curled around her toes. A large lump in it's stomach indicating what it had just done as it lazily rested and let it's tongue fly out.
Liam had gotten the best of her right there, the woman was sensitive about the plant life she was.. vengent her anger was just something many didn't invoke like that. Sighing, she'd just try to figure shit at the moment she was.. tired of all the bullshit. All she wanted was for him to help her take over gotham show them how to do what needed to be done. It wasn't like she was trying to hurt him any.. at least not anymore. He was more useful alive, the thoughts pondered through her mind in the sudden silence. Ivy's right hand moving through red strands of slightly long but short hair pressing it behind her ear she'd heard his next comment.It made her more agitated causing her to turn on her heel. Slowly, vines consumed her her skin having the regular pale tan with the various vines translucent in her skin as she growled at him, "Really?" The woman said in a fury, he had just harmed something so precious.. intentionally just to piss her off more.
Gently she moved her foot from underneath the snake, her eyes glancing to it, as she looked back to him her figure approaching him as she pushed him over. "What's your deal, Bas?" She said, her fingers pressing onto the bed as she perched on the edge of it staring down at him, agitation apparent on her features. She just wanted to shut him up all together, there was no way of doing that. Knowing she couldn't be rid of him stung but also knowing he was to useful made her stick around. "I don't.. understand.I don't STOMP on your children." She said to him frowning, pouting almost.
As she pushed him over, Liam's skinny frame did a small roll as he was shocked by the sudden assault and cried out in his thick Irish accent. "Stop fucking hitting me!" He declared out loudly, something that seemed to earn a knock on the thin wall as another man called out to the scene. "Everything alright in there, Liam?" The man called as a Liam staring at Ivy with slight shock and vexation merely cleared his throat and called back. "All good, Bob. Just a one night stand that's a bit kinky." He retorted loudly to the coming laugh as the man deemed Bob apparently was satisfied with this.
As she came in closer, he merely met her stare as he bit his lip a moment before snarling out in a rather snake like hiss. "I didn't know, I thought it was rubber! It was already dying before I noticed! Besides, I didn't buy it, it was already here." He retorted, he hadn't done anything to intentionally annoy her as he shuffled back on his bed to back off from her slightly, crazy broad. The cobra joined in with it's dad, at first so kindly to Ivy it also hissed and bore it's fangs, alas it wasn't able to move much due to the bulge still slowly creeping down it.
Liam rolled shocked even, she didn't care he deserved it he shouldn't have ignored it.. he should have noticed it dammit. Her lips curled into a pout again as he yelled back at her she merely retaliated. "No." She said, her right hand slamming on the bed with her knee moving on it. Hearing someone, call him Liam? So that was his name, now she had more momentum. At least some, the shock in his voice was enough for her as she crossed her arms. One night stand? A settled sullen stare came from the female as this 'Bob' guy was satisfied with his reaction.
She'd finally stare at him for a minute or two, her shoulders tense the woman's fingers intensely tapping on her arm as she paced er right hand soon enough reached of shoulder forcing him near her. Ignoring the snake, her anger was something she never really dealt with because she usually killed someone and left it at that. Right hand gathering hair, she merely just kissed him. Agitated, she couldn't express anything other than just taking it out on him. The woman's fingers tangled tightly, Ivy's actions beyond the normal.. female, the highs and lows mingled with her insanity.
With her just standing there for a few minutes, Liam did try a few things. He edged closer and rose up a bit, waving his hand in front of her face. He was curious and slightly worried that his studio was about to become the Brazilian rain forest. But just before he could move out of the way and go to get the Christmas decorations to stick on her, he found himself grabbed and locked in a kiss. Her curls bunched up in a fist, he couldn't help but pull back in a motion that would bring Ivy down with in and upon him. He wasn't about to pass up on a snog though as while their lips would part for a moment, he'd bring his back to hers, his arms lacing around her waist as he brought her close with the same ferocity that she had gripped his hair. Well, she had pissed him off as well.
Ivy wasn't even agitated, she was furious, she had no way to filtrate it.. she could have dug his entire room in a jungle off that one plant. But she chose to just take it out on him directly, if it had been anyone else they would have been dead instantly from that single kiss. Right hand tangled in his hair forcing him to stay in place her fingers tight, harshly almost as she pulled away justified her fingers would attempt to release yet he just came back the woman's lips parting biting into his lower lip teeth digging as her right hand forced it's way down his back. Adrenaline moved, her lips parting as she took both hands forcing him on his back both hands holding hard forcing his back flat. "Asshole." She grumbled, teeth taking his neck, the woman's fingers holding him down with little weight she did have. She wasn't happy with him not one bit.
Liam was taken back by her aggressiveness, but with her remark he simply thought to himself that he'd been called worse by his nan. As she bit down, he pulled his lip back against her teeth. When she assaulted his neck however, he found himself filled with the same anger she did. Why the fuck was it his fault? He wasn't the queen bitch of plants like she was. His own rose out as his fangs portrayed from his canines and with a lunge, he'd have pierced them straight into her shoulder as she ripped at his skin likewise. Well, if this was sex with a powered being... He'd hate to see what it was like for Superman trying not to turn Lois Lane inside out with his cock of steel.
Ivy hadn't really thought into the consequences, what could happen; the woman didn't care for it. Ivy's agitation ruled with her recklessness, her vengeance, her fingers assaulted his chest, digging, nails curling into what would create more scars. As he lunged pierced into her shoulders, she just gave him a shriek. She wasn't accustomed to pain directly, the woman just grabbed his hair forced him away, her lips closing on his forcing his mouth away from harm. The shoulder repaired itself with ease, her right hand despite being being tangled in his head the other forced his hand down to be tangled with vines on the bed post slowly, she'd attempt to forgo his freedom of even if she couldn't poison him relinquish him of the ability to grab, hurt her.
As she yanked him out and tried to strap his arm against the vines, that is when Liam had enough. He wasn't about to let her toy with him like she had already gotten what she wanted and he was a means to an end, no... Even if he wasn't the most fluent in his powers, he would still show her he wasn't someone she could just toy with. His stomach rumbled and the flesh visibly moved as it would seem his intestines where about to burst free as mounds of his skin flared up in snake like shapes before coming to be visibly large anacondas. From there, the lines formed to make three large reptiles that would push her off him and in their power bodies coil around her, forcing her off him and hold her above as he'd stare up at her. The snakes still attached at his stomach. "Look, Ivy..." He snarled with his fangs, tinted with the fluid within her still bore as he glared at her. "I am not your toy!" He snarled.
The snakes also hissed, very hostile in their nature. Unlike the rather dopey one from yesterday, they was born of rage. One even bore it's fangs, head close to Ivy as it would look ready to start trying to swallow her whole. "I admit I wanted a shag... And yes maybe, I did let it die. But I didn't do it intentionally! Just calm down, Psycho tits! If we're working together, then we're both gonna have to learn to get along. Alright?"
Poison Ivy was not good in close quarters combat considering she was well above reach with her plants, he had the upper hand advantage she hardly expected for the anacondas to force the separation. Ivy's figure now pushed off, holding her there as he'd stare up, the woman's lips were in a frown her eyes staring as he spoke over the fact he wasn't her toy. To hell he wasn't, he acted like it and she would surely treat him like it if he wanted to do the same thing her fingers tempted to just wrap them in vines.. make that plant something bigger and badder than this shit attached to him. The plant behind her starting to grow vines, long, digging trying to get to the window but she just waited.
Ivy was hardly botheredb y it but she was literally tied up here, it was about the long term. Her recklessness came with ..proprietary her lips pursed into a frown as she stared at him from down below her as she finally untensed. She calmed down because she had no choice in the matter, her eyes scanned over him she finally just softly gave up. "Alright." Her fingers flexing, "Going to let me go?" She said, her eyes scanning staring. "I won't treat you like a toy either." She said, her voice in a tone of giving up. No use in fighting, she'd have no head.
Liam nodded to her replies, at least she had calmed down now. He felt his own anger quiver away father quickly, his silts easing off her as the snakes seemed to react to his own temperament and slowly proceeded to place Ivy down on the bed beside him. With that done however, Liam was still left with three large anacondas protruding out of his stomach. He knew he wanted them gone, but it couldn't dawn on him how. It seemed that still connected, the snakes responded to that as they all made a lunge for his mouth. Liam's own eyes went wide very quickly, his throat giving an unnatural gag that forced him to open his mouth and in a process much like his birthing the snakes proceeded to force themselves down his throat, their tails coming out as the detached and slithered back into him before seemingly disappearing. A result that left Liam coughing and spluttering.
"Urgh..." He finally let out as the last bulges in his skinny stomach disappeared, leaving his malnourished looking form normal once again. "Well now I know how pornstars feel on their first gangbang." He finally retorted, his body tingling with a strange light headed rush. Gosh that was weird. Shaking his head as he sat up, he rested his head in his hands for a second, letting out a small sigh as he seemed to be trying to come to terms with his wild day and yesterday. "Seems like I'm gonna have to learn about my powers."
Liam wasn't really going to attack her was he? She did calm down with the reason her life was on the line that was the sole purpose of it all. There was truthfully that, and he had a snake to her head she'd relax, wait. hopefully wouldn't take her head off. Ivy finally being placed down her figure seated carefully, almost as if nothing was going on from that point, as if nothing happened. Ups and downs were far from unroll, the fact the woman had been spending time with another person other than Harls was far for the normal for her. Lips pursing, her head tilt down as she glanced over to him.. birthing snakes. The woman's neck healed from the bite completely it seemed as she continued to look down at the end of the bed hearing him coughing she glanced in slight worry. Was that a bad thing? Seeing them slithering, she rubbed her head. Where the hell was she going to keep six anacondas now? She was going to need a bigger space soon..
When he finally finished his bs of coughing and all that, she knew there was reason to finally relax. Right hand moving through her hair, she'd knew that there was toxin running through her system. Both their toxins, it was odd, feeling the foreign her body able to move with it comprehend it then fix it completely. "..Well. That was descriptive." She said flatly, her eyes glancing to him she'd listen to his next statement admitting finally he needed to learn. "You just... need to embrace them first and stop treating them like some alien.." She said, her fingers moving opening her palm showing a pretty flower of sorts laying it on his lap. "Small things first."
He watched as she created the flora and displayed it to him, placing out on his lap as he opened up his own left palm and stared at it. Everything he had done up in till that point had been on impulse, on emotion... The only thing that he had truly learnt how to control was his tongue and even that was only when he was hungry. It felt strange, just staring into his skin, almost as if waiting for something to happen. Why wouldn't it just obey him? He was the serpent king wasn't he? It was his body, it had to obey him.
His silts glared at his flesh, vexation surmounting in his glare. You will obey me, the words rung out in his mind and as if the living minds of snakes in his skin could hear him... They obeyed. His skin quivered after about five minutes of unbroken silence, before thousands of small snakes started to rise up from his skin and within seconds from hand to elbow his left was engulfed with thousands of small snakes all hissing, glaring and snapping at the only target they saw. Ivy. Thankfully for her though, it would be beyond their reach as they proved to be too small and his arm was not directed at her. "Interesting... " He thought to himself as he refocused his silts upon the snakes, the same words ringing over in his mind as the snakes stopped and started to receded till his arm was normal once again.
Ivy had remembered when she first started she remembered the experiments, the pain, the endless suffering until she needed up in the hospital for days she couldn't help herself it was something she just had to learn it was something to just embrace. She didn't like her powers at first even hated them but she the best she could to do what she could to accept them. It took years, the woman's head flooding with memories something she didn't pride herself in but beyond the hand of time she knew it was there to stay. Maybe she could convince him to love them.. to accept them.
Ivy's eyes darted over the snakes worry consuming her features as she scanned them her eyes staring as she reached to his arm once it was clean her fingers grasping his. "Good job." It was a simple congratulations, but it was sweet. Somehow soft, the woman was actually kind? Just as could she be cruel? It was simple, soft, her fingers moving up his arm, planting a simple kiss on his cheek with a quirky grin on her face. "I knew you could do it."
Liam had never felt anything like this before, he had been raised in Ireland to a loving family and had only wanted a normal life. But this felt right... This felt... Good. He had power that nobody else did, perhaps it was something the league of assassins did to him that made him feel this way. But he had power... Power that he could use. Power that could make men tremble before him. Without another word, Liam rose from his position, still clad only in boxers as he silently marched his way out towards the door and boldly strode out into the hallways. Leaving the door open as he stood in the empty corridor. If snakes would obey him, then man could as well... No more shitty desk jobs and running away. He wanted the truth and he wanted his origins. So he'd find it with his power. Raising his arms up, he felt the surging power quiver within him as he seemed to bend down low and bow his head till it was almost touching the floor. "Arise... My children." A hissed out tone echoed as from all over his body, masses and flesh colored lumps arose from his body and soon hundreds of live snakes started to spawn from his skin in all shapes and sizes.
King Cobras, Green anacondas, pythons, rattlesnakes, sand-winders and many other forms of serpent sprung to life from his skin and started to pour out into the building. Some instantly slithering under doors, more crashing into them to try and spur them open, others slithered up and down the stairs to infest the building as within seconds... Screams of men, women and children rented the silent air as the last snake drained off Liam. Quickly backing off, he closed his own door, a wicked and demented grin across his face as other doors flew open to the onslaught. He had almost collapsed by his door with his grin and silent laughter as he heard the building outside erupt into panic at what he had done.
Ivy had one thing in particular she didn't like hearing harmed, it was actual kids, with a flick of her wrists plant life rode from the flower it was wan nonchalant movement as she sat there on the bed she didn't care for the rest of them.. the adults.. they could perish. It was nothing of her particular mess, but those who could not fight back? Those who were unprepared? Fingers flicking, there were sound of kids screaming, being dragged away by millions of vines through the floor only to be placed on the ground elsewhere a lower floor of the household where they could get away. It shown something, Ivy had compassion for the young although she never admitted it. As they children wailed they ran out of the font door parentless, all of them, homeless it didn't matter they would find a way. It would make them stronger, faster, like herself out of the way of abusive parents. Pursing her lips, the Ivy rose from the bed her figure approaching him.
Ivy approached him, her figure kneeling in front of him her eyes scanning his face staring at the grin, what.. just happened there? Confusion covered Ivy's features as she moved her fingers across his face, the woman's actual appearance evident as her skin had taken a pale jaundice color the green running up various parts of her body aesthetically pleasing in the decoration of vines. Her lips paler, hair redder, almost a harsh fire as her right hand coaxed over his face. "What.. was that?" She asked, trying to get his attention trying to figure out exactly what had happened there.
He felt the hand brush across his face, it was nothing compared to the feeling he had rushing through him. He didn't care what happened to the people, he merely let whatever happened happen as he rose his silts up to stare at her. "Power..." That was his only answer to her question as the day passed over quickly with the coming events. To when Liam could truly start to think again, it had passed a few days and he was still on his feet. The driving ambition, the burning power, the rush it brought to him... It had all been so much. Despite his earlier desires of nothing more then a shag, Liam insisted to Ivy that they begun training his powers the moment they got through the doors of her warehouse with more and more snakes in tow.
Day four without sleep and Liam was still at it, the chosen practice that he had desired from Ivy was one playing off his reflexes and body structure. The same vines that had tried to kill him shot directly at him, his body merely tilting back as he seemed to perform an impossible lean with his spine literally bending. From there, his torso kept going as it shot through the gap between his spaced out legs, his body stretching out as he raced and twisted, avoiding the on coming barrage of vines and thorns that shot his way... Till he was roughly the same length of a football field, coiled and twisted around various different plants. He was getting better, faster and stronger. His hands grabbed on to the latest incoming vine, holding on to it tightly as his body started to recoil, his legs shooting forward as the long stretched out torso shrunk down with his body returning to normal size. Leaving him laid out on the floor as he grinned wildly to himself. He had abandoned most clothes while training with her, wearing only a pair of sweats on his lower half while he practiced. In the heat of her greenhouse though, it felt great on his cold blooded skin.
[9/14/2015 3:09:25 AM] Boo: Ivy knew that was the change she was looking for one that gave into the power.. the one that appreciated what he could do. She was trying to figure out just where she had to keep going, keep learning about him.. and herself. Over time, he had moved in, it took just a simple flower? To show him to start small? Who would have knew. Days passed, training occurred with her sitting on her ass most of the time working the male to the point of exhaustion because he actually wanted to she didn't mind giving him what he wanted either because she had wanted the same thing. Something to share in common? It was enough to give her some insight into the situation her right hand stretched out playing with the vines in tow.
Ivy on the other hand enjoyed watching the changes, the growth, it was much like the plant life.. considering her plants now had protectors beyond herself it was nice to know her children were safe at the same time. He had been through the obstacle enough she thought. Restless he was, she didn't want him to gas out either, Ivy approached him swiftly, her legs carrying her wearing the usual lack of clothing. Bare feet approaching him as she kneeled in front of him, a casual grin was on her face as her fingers ran through his hair. Gentle, soft, "Take a break." Was all she offered, Ivy finally standing up sashaying away, the woman's fingers running along the long vines some tanning up her arm as flora danced up her arm in reds and pinks. The long vines following her, glancing behind her her eyes scanned over his lying form. "Your not a indestructible, Liam." She said, her voice casual as she took a seat on what seemed to look like oversized daisy's lying down. The woman's frame lazy, her head resting on her arm as the flower petals enveloped her frame.
He could've easily of reminded her what happened last time she tried to kill him, he felt indestructible. He felt like he was on top of the world. Through their training, he felt stronger, like he understood what she desired much better now. While she was still beautiful and the object of desire, he saw her in a new light as well. One of power. Rising up after her gentle caress had left his body, his silts returned the gaze of her eyes as he merely portrayed the same grin as before. It felt so good, embracing his true nature. The buzz of the air around them was thrilling, it truly was nature now as animals and insects where drawn in for the snakes to feed upon. The sight of a small mouse being chased by a rattlesnake catching his eye as his tongue drew out to lick his lips. "If you say so, my darling." He teased out in a sly and venom coated voice, his skinny form coming to hers as he invited himself to sit beside her on the petals embrace.
His body instantly came close to hers, it wasn't just what she produced in the air wavering his desire now, it wasn't just the fact she was an attractive female. There was something else he felt build up within him as he'd turn his features to gaze upon her, his hand lifting up to toy with the ends of her flaming hair. "One day.... I'll give you Gotham, you can rule it as the queen you are." He purred out, his head bowing as he pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder. He knew exactly what he wanted out of her now.
The woman hadn't given him a break, kept pushing him for the past four days without giving him a break as he asked. Wounded him, killed him a couple times by accident he even killed some plants along the way. It didn't piss her off she knew it came with sacrifice. For once she had settled in a world in this warehouse that could be far beyond the normal case at hand it would be all of gotham. Where people could see what beauty truly was.. flora.. fauna. She didn't care so much for the people she wanted to steal the kids.. let them grow in this kind of society where one could appreciate the nature they were not lost they could still learn. Lips pursed as she settled, the petals comforting layered as she pondered those thoughts, revenge driven her to tolerated Liam but she had also grown to respect him then again he had made changes for a cause he understood just how beautiful it would be to have nothing but the chain of survival where man, animal, and plant lived in unison.
Ivy's thoughts were interupted by him, her eyes glancing up as she raised an eyebrow. A curious stare, she figured he was going to force himself to keep going but apparently he did know what the terminology of what rest was. Sentient plantlike opened the flora for him to join her. Ivy turning to face him, staring at the angular features. His promise threw her off, did he really? Ivy's lips parted to open and close, she was speechless, the woman merely didn't expect it. "..Are you just messing with me?" She said, her fingers forcing him to look at her.
A small sadistic grin coiled around his features as she asked her question, his features rising from her shoulder as he moved his hand from her hair to her cheek to where he softly brushed his thumb across the pale flesh. He meant his words ever so dearly, there was an attraction to the mother of nature that he hadn't felt before. A lusting desire that was matched only by his flourishing whims for power. "Yes, I am messing with you.... Because I don't just promise you Gotham, I promise you the world." He cooed out in a soft, venomous purr as he'd move his head so that his forehead touched upon hers. His silts low in their almost hypnotic stare, his free hand coming up to her waist as his tongue hissed out once more. "I am the king of serpents and you, my dear... Are my queen." The words left his mouth before a kiss was met with his lips joining on hers, the brief union marking the honesty in his words, no matter how much poison they entailed.
Poison Ivy wasn't sure what to believe, not sure at all the woman wasn't even the most honest person either to dissuade her it was just far beyond her grasp as she sighed. Unsure what to believe, betrayal, lies, it was common she had been used far to many times to actually trust? That was hard special on the part since she had knew she only knew him for what. Seven days? It was a week, a week of convincing, training, trying to make him see what she saw into but his ambitions seemed to match hers in unison to create a world where the parliament of trees could see their view of what would be perfection. Feeling his thumb brush the woman's eyes glance up her hand resting now on the side of her face as he had admitted her was fucking around. She knew it, but the next sentence riddled her with the ambitions that she dreamed of. Ivy only wanted nature to consume.. the purest form. Her lips pursed as stared in practical disbelief. Eyes scanning over him trying to figure out where the fuck he was going. It made her heart beat slow and fast. She didn't really say anything because she didn't know -what- to say. There was no thoughts in her head just disbelief and silence as his arms pulled her into him. Fingers moving to his chest, she allowed the embrace of lips. Fingers dissuaded holding onto him, moving up to his neck as her lips pulled away to stare. "Why didn't I find you sooner?" She asked, her fingers stroking, gently, not sure of how to express herself. Feelings she felt, not for what he said but for him oddly.
He moved his head slightly to welcome her arms, his hair tingling with a slight sensation as she stroked gentle. His silts stared into her eyes as he let out a silent chuckle to her question, his eyes closing off as he bowed his head slightly before looking at her once more. "Because Ireland is a long way away, my dear." Surprisingly, as he hissed out his words his accent became less and less apparent, something that would be of use when they went public and if he still needed to keep up appearances. With her coming so close, he press his skinny body against hers as his hand ran up her back while the other still brushing her cheek. His lips came in for her neck as he pressed down a kiss to her soft skin, lips rising up as they brushed against her ear. "I wish I had found you sooner as well, my beautiful queen." He cooed softly, his lips coming around to her front once again as he'd lock his lips in with hers and allow his tongue to slither out and coil with her own. His own heart was normal, though there was a rising heat he felt from being close to her that entwined itself with his cold blood. An almost aching feeling for her as they laid down so close and where locked in an embrace that would bare the children of a new world. A world of serpents and flora.
Ivy didn't know what to feel, how to respond, to have someone compatible so to speak someone who didn't die in her grasp someone who didn't need an antidote from her existence. It seemed ike this curse had been lifted only if temporarily. It made her feel human again to a strand, to a moment, it seemed as her fingers rose up and tangled her hands in his hair. "Should have came to the states sooner." Her tone sultry, as she was now becoming the one seduced by the serpent raptured by his fangs. Of course, accents were one thing but se was caught up when he pressed into her unable to breathe almost as her heart fluttered with these shimmying feelings so to speak to crash into a burn. A complex, it was something she recognized but not quite sure of as she breathed in as his lips trailed along to her ear. The nonsense of promises her fingers found his gently moving through the curls resting at the base of his skull. Ivy's lips parting allowing their tongues to mingle, coil, it even seemed the venom was nothing more than a lost flavor among their saliva. Knowing that any man whom made it this far in her embrace was ..certainly dead. It took a single kiss, to explore, it was invigorating. Ivy's hip adjusted to have her leg wrap around his hip, her fingers holding his head taut feeling his flesh without worry of death. It seemed often times that what stopped her from sleeping with others.. often times those whom she wanted but simply couldn't have due to this.. malfunction she considered sometimes.
His body curved with her legs wrapping around him, his senses lost in her touch and his lips lost in hers. His gaze was forfeit to the power of her eyes as he lost himself. The embrace and moments they shared in that time where bliss, woven ecstasy from natures gifts and when they came to pass, Liam could no nothing but hold his queen in a loving curl. When he woken from what seemed to be an eternal slumber however, Liam left the wondrous maiden and took out into the night. The cold city air was murder on his skin till his blood uplifted to a much warmer temperature, till he was content in the whirling winds of Gotham.
He had not changed out of his simple pair of sweats, but on top of that, he had donned a large robe that engulfed him from head to toe in it's baggy embrace. While not even done up, it still engulfed his skinny frame, hiding his features well and even his hands. It wasn't for his identity however, his control had gone a little beyond that now. His skin had dropped to a much more flushed pale, scales forming in tints of snowy white and oblivion black. His features had reverted to that of a snake, his jaw bones high while his eyes conformed to exactly resemble a snake with his green silts. He had even grown out a long, powerful tail perfectly completely the white of his aesthetic that dragged behind his form that seemed to be dragging itself entirely. Curls had stood on end in the transformation, turning into a spiked flat that was only crushed under the weight of his hood.
It was time to start working... During his slumber, he had thought of a plan. A way to make his darling Queen's dream a reality, but he had to work for it first. Work that the Batman would normally do. High upon an abandoned building, Liam had followed a group of thugs there to find a small criminal organisation. It didn't take long for him to work his way through their ranks, many pinned down on the lower floors being held by snakes far stronger then themselves while others where knocked clean out. On the roof is where the final confrontation between Liam and their leader was held. The bulky man glaring out at the being who had for his whole rampage had stared at the floor, following the smells on his forked tongue and watching the shadows on the floor to guess movements. "So what're you doing here? Trying to send a message by killing me and my boys?" He snapped out to Liam, who retorted in a venomous hiss devoid of any accent. "Killing is distasteful to me."
Tangled it was without a night of bliss? Falling in love potentially? Confusion? It was all one ball of wonder compressed into lost senses and of course, cuddles! The woman was coiled tight against him but, the flora was sentient it shifted without her knowledge the woman's right hand extending her hips turning onto her stomach as she finally woke in the darkness only to stare out. It was pink, pulsations mingled with the whispers of 'Gone' The plant life said gone over and over the woman was groggy her fingers moving through her hair as she finally opened her eyes noticing no one..turned over. Shock, coiled with disappointment, the woman's right arm rested against her head as she stared out. Disbelief coiled with anger, he was clever, too clever Ivy sat up the flora pushing aside as she didn't truthfully know how to feel.
Anger coiled with vengeance, the woman looked to all the snakes littering her home.. marks of him all over. Ivy's eyes stared in the darkness unable to comprehend why or how. For now, his snakes didn't attack her either one even greeted to coil on her lap. Eyes scanning over the creature that raised it's head at her staring. It was a small garden snake of sorts.. it enjoyed the flora far more than the others. Ivy's fingers gently ran along the body of the smaller snake pondering her figure finally rising. She'd retrieve her.. lack of attire to leave to find him.. ask questions. She was angry, beyond angry, agitated.. but she would not take it out on his snakes.. just yet. She would use them just as he had her, approaching the fountain, she'd lean over to one in particular the cobra whom leaded her to him before. "Show me love? I need to see your father~" She whispered to the cobra whom was.. much like pikachu didn't like being in the green house.
Together they left, the woman casually following next to it, vines followed, climbing up her figure to a sickening length. The female was pissed, beyond pissed, it seemed she'd find herself staring at a criminal.. place not to far. What was this shit? Ivy's right hand flicked vines climbed up the walls. Engulfing it making her presence known, poisonous gas lingered in the air from the bottom up slowly killing everyone within.
Liam was focused on the leader at hand who could only stare at his adversary, fear engulfing his form. Though he was armed with a pistol, his men had been armed as well. Not one stood a chance against this menace. It was then from the corners of his eyes that he saw them, the vines that crept up along the sides of the building and had started to engulf even the roof top. Ivy... Already she was about to ruin his plans to help her. His mouth parted in to a small venomous hiss, an order of kinds as the snakes closest to the top responded and relayed the command throughout the building. Making themselves sparse out into the night.
"This your doing? Killing is distasteful, huh?!" The man snapped to a Liam that only replied. "This is not my doing..." He hissed out, slowly approaching the man at first as his snakes scarpered out who continued to hold up his gun shaking before Liam burst out into an almighty sprint. A gunshot went off, but it missed him by far as his much stronger frame wrapped an arm around the criminals waist before Liam leaped off the building with his powerful legs. Ivy's training had come in well, for even with the added weight that screamed mid-flight, he was able to land unharmed on the opposing building to which he let go of the criminal who dropped to his knees. "Go... Run... And let your friends know, Basilisk is in town and he will find you all." He added to the effect by lifting his head up, giving the man a brief sight of his horrific visage and petrifying silts. To which the criminal ran off quickly, even leaving his gun behind in the process. Now it was time to deal with Ivy.
Ivy wasn't patient, her anger was.. unrolling, the woman was far from the normal when it came to anger with it came reckless ness, with a snap of her fingers bodies were swiped from the building, taken away deep into the ground the plants doubled in size from the blood. Their vines becoming trunks in comparison from the bottom crunching the building all those within screams came from inside the building as she pulled one by up by one tossing them aside as if useless garbage.The eerie part is other vines would ..grab them and drag them under the ground for god knows where. Where? They were going to become fertilizer in her home, glancing up she noticed him bound across the building. Impatience came, anger mingled with it, with that said, she brought her fingers out and flicked the vines towards her and the building behind him fell in a mess.
The cobra on the other hand stood there on her shoulder staring enjoying the carnage what she had done to the people. It's tail rattled, "You like that huh?" She said gently, her eyes glancing the woman merely looked up to the top of the building as the ground below her rattled the earth lifting high parallel to the building. Those thick vines coiling along the pillar she walked across it. The woman's fingers coiling the thick trunk like vines around her arm as the pillar sparking into nothing but ash as she looked at him doing some bullshit. She wouldn't have let him live, she wanted to be spiteful let the vines swallow him. "Explain before I murder you in cold blood." She said with a hiss, the woman approaching him getting in his face. "I'm not pleased, Liam." She said using his name formerly since knew hers it was only fair. "Not pleased at all." Vines coiled from her arm red with poison, a paralytic poisons fuming from it as she slammed it on the ground causing the building to shake.
His head bowed again, his spine seeming to be formed in a very bent snake like appearance, his height seemingly gone from when he usually stood up tall. He merely watched as Ivy approached him, his eyes focusing on the floor still and watching as her scent and shadow approached him. He had made sure the criminal was truly gone before he did dare speak again. "You... Are ruining my plans..." He hissed out rather venomously and callously, his voice cold and emotionless as he turned to show her his back with his long tail merely dragging out behind him.
To the buildings edge he looked, sight filled with the building engulfed in vines and the alleys below as he knelt down to dwarf his size even more. "I... Have come up with a plan, one that will get you the world. This city is first... However it's defender, must be dealt with. I need more training and with these criminals, I can gain his trust. Get close and strike. I want the Batman, you want Gotham. My sweet... My love... Do you not see how I am doing this for you?" He asked tilting his head finally, his pale features shadowed by his hood, save the glaring silts that stared out at her.
The woman didn't care for appearances at the moment he could have looked decayed as could be at this point she was very pissed off. Fragrantly, vengeance, reckless, her insanity mingling giving her no sense of ruining his shit. He was the one who was leaving, she didn't want him to the woman merely felt her heart ache anger was fluent as her right hand holding the vines dug into the building ripping parts of the building tossing them apart as she stood there in front of hher she was furious her right hand curling clenching the vine as now they began to climb on the building they are on. "I am not." She said hissing, trying to control her anger but she just couldn't. He was being a dick for no apparent reason. He wasn't giving her any answers, the woman's right hand took the vine part of tgoing bursted screams from below was heard of people panicing.
The temptation to end him there was great, the woman's right hand began to gather vines once more they ripped from the building causing it to shutter. Albeit, the cobra on her arm had .. no admissions, it wasn't attacking her just yet. Hell, she didn't even realize the damn creature was on the other side of her. Ivy wanted to push him off the ledge, end it, end it all for trusting him opening up. Her heart burned with discontent in his first answer she began walking towards him the veins on the ground coiling up to greet her thick with blood it began to taint her skin filtering through her skin. Yet, she stopped short at his words, to use them to get close to batman? He was the one that always stopped her toyed with her emotions. The woman's anger gradually shifted, slowly, but it shifted. "You could have at least told me.." She said prickly still yet.
Shaking his head under his cloak, he hissed out his words once again at her. "No, my love... For you see... That would've made this act less convincing, it wouldn't have stirred the same rage." He mused out with a wicked grin across his features as the height of his order became apparent, the snakes that fled one building where now seemingly to be in the other and helping to lead people out while the much larger and stronger ones battled with the vines to free them. With the sirens whaling in the distance, the police forming below them. It would take only one look down to see people being lead out by serpents among the chaos. The same serpents that seemed to be forming a defensive line as they hissed and snapped at oncoming vines.
"I will see you at home... Later, my love. But for now. I need to keep up appearances..." His words clenched in poison as from under his bowed head and hood, his tongue slithered out at one of it's impossible lengths and would take the chance to catch her off guard in the moment as around her neck it coiled only to push her back and dangle her off the edge of the building. Free yourself, my darling. He thought to himself as he slowly edged himself closer to give the bewildered public a clear view of their hooded hero. This was all for her in the end, sacrifices had to be made. Among the arrived police, many scattered out of their cars and shined lights up at the scene, one of many calling out via megaphone. "We have you surrounded, release Poison Ivy to us and come out quietly." Of course he wasn't as close to the police as Batman yet, but the public that called out his praises seemed to be on his side.
The vines were riddled with the dead attached to them growing in size from changing their very existence over to the maker side they were growing rapidly gaining more momentum in the end. But, his words, they just confused her truly. Yet, where was this going? Did he mean it? Did he really give this intention? Lies? She didn't know any more, the best she could do was play along from afar and avoid him. When he came home.. pretended nothing happened at all. To live in ignorance was better to do with it seemed, Ivy's rage slowly subsided with decisions to play it out. To gather her own bearings, her own defenses, she couldn't take heartbreak not again. Fingers coiled about the vines, they would pull back almost in tune to the snakes forming defenses the bodies being dragged away without mercy they would pull swath move the bodies away the vines coiling underneath the ground rushing back to the location she hid.
Albeit, he'd lash the thing around her neck, Ivy's instinct told her to fucking cut the thing off she'd merely raise an eyebrow as she was confused more. How could one harm another? Figure dangling she'd merely hear the sound of cops the adrenaline rush hit. Arkham Asylum, it was something she couldn't help beyond anything else. It was something she was not going to do.. not for him. Right hand grasping the tongue, the green eyes showed nothing but misunderstanding and confusion as her right hand pierced the tongue in half with sharp vein. Vines shooting up from below her dragging her through coiled in a ball escaping him. Funny thing of all that was, the cobra was actually happily on her shoulder just rattling the entire time as she'd ended up dragged underneath the ground spit up on the other side of the alley way through a network of vines. "...Mn." Fingers would rub a fading bruised neck, "Your confusing, Liam." She spoke to herself, as the snake nuzzled into her cheek somehow reassuring as she continued herself back to her domain considering she had made another attack on gotham within the few days it seemed like her name was going to spread like wild fire at this point.
Her cutting his tongue free was unexpected and painful and there was Liam expecting her to trust him, but this could work for his advantage as well. A well screamed hiss of pain echoed as his severed tongue retreated into his mouth, his body riveting in agony but he knew how to deal with it, Ivy killing him all those times in training almost made it too easy as his body stopped and gave a jolt. His mouth opening as his skin seemed to become deflated and from his own mouth, Liam crawled out, alive and anew from his own stomach. It took him only a minute to change the clothes from his shed skin to his body, his form drenched in poison and blood as he took the incentive to walk forward to the edge of the building once more and gaze down at the citizens that had survived. "People of Gotham... Save the wounded and do not be dismayed... Basilisk now protects you..." He called out to them in his hissed voice, many cheers and praises shouted towards him as he turned despite police warnings and fled from the scene. He was even careful to bring his discarded skin and tongue as he made the journey back home.
The snakes from the scene, followed in ones and twos, going into hiding before returning home to elude the public as through the doors Liam stepped boldly into the lair he and Ivy now shared to stand up tall finally and cast his robe to the floor along with his skin and tongue. "Honey... I'm home..." He hissed out loudly.
It was unexpected but he deserved it because she was unexpected of the whole fucking change as well. She wasn't good with change beyond her control she would deal with it the way she was used to with anger and violence. When she returned home she was greeted by his children whom went ignored minus the one she favored on her shoulder. They seemed to merely deflate in the action of ignoring the woman climbing the stair of crystallized plant sugars to sit on the upper tier of the ware house brooding alone. Bare legs crossed over one another as her fingers moved over to the cobra whom was allowed to leave but it didn't seem to. "Mn You need a name, darling. You've been nothing of a rebel to your father." She said softly, "I like that. You deserve a name, love. Sense." It seemed to rattle in it's sentient intelligence even if it didn't give her.. any sort of understanding. She didn't speak snake any, for the time she merely remained mingling among flora decorating the upper half of the warehouse for it had went unfinished.
He'd return to beautiful architecture made of vines crystalline stained glass from simply plant sugars, it was now even warmer the flowers grew larger from the bodies she had collected. Poison lingered at every corner.. for if any person came here would die of heat exhaustion certainly. When he came back, she glanced excitement mixed with distaste she was annoyed with him but was also.. excited to see him. Particular, she knew she had fallen for him and hated the admitting of it. Right hand coiled around the plant life, flora adorning her arm as she walked down the stair across from him leaning on the railing. "You don't think I know that. This is not I love lucy." She said simplistically.
"Oh.. But my darling... I am trying to make your fair tale a reality... It can be whatever we desire...." His hissed out voice came with a large grin, displaying the rows of fangs that had taken over his teeth as he walked forward towards his beloved. The snakes that saw their farther in this light, seemed to hold a new found respect for him. Though never disobedient, they seemed to bow their heads to the snake king as his tail slithered on the floor behind his bare steps. As he approached her, he used his tall frame to stand on the floor beside the railing of the stairs. Leaning up as he'd bring his hands up to run through her hair, his lips coming up to her forehead as he purred out his voice. "You was wonderful out there... My love..." He cooed to her, before letting her hair free as he turned once again and headed off for the water fountain.
His body was still stained with dried blood and poison, his intentions clear as he walked off. His blood dropping back to cool as he felt the warmth of the room rivet over his form. Truly, he had fallen as well for her. His intentions though twisted and riddled with the snakes ambition where all for her at the end of the day. He'd see that her vision of the world came true.
Why would he do all this? Ivy was honestly confused, worried, enthralled and flattered. The woman didn't know how to do anything at the moment regarding him other than to see where it went to follow rather than lead. Right hand on the railing the woman stared conflicted over the conversion. Why he hadn't worked into it just jumped. Seeing the snake bow even the runt cobra on her own slightly. Fingers would gently reach to the creature easing it over its head. Seeing as he was more less than hermit sized the embrace welcomed with one arm fingers climbing up his back. "Your toying was not wonderful" she said to him stubbornly. Yet her fingers climbed up his back her head briefly feeling his fingers free the flora twine forcing her hair down. Not that she minded but it was annoying. The woman merely dragged a sigh as he walked away.
Staring at his back the woman just leaned there unsure of what to think. Fingers tapping on her arms she finally spoke to his back "I think I've fallen for you."
He had definitely fallen for her as well, to what end would a man not in love do this for a woman? Once he had reached the water's edge, he didn't step in straight away. He merely stared down at his reflection, almost no humanity remained on his features. But yet, he felt like there was so much more power to unlock. Stepping forward finally, his reflection faded with the sight of a fang encrusted grin rippling out of existence. He didn't even discard his sweats, he knew the immense heat of the warehouse would air dry them in seconds as he knelt down and started to splash and rub water into his skin to wash off the poison and blood. Soon Gotham would be her's and the world would be theirs... The bat? He would be his. Basilisk would coil his will around the world and show it the power of the serpent.
Ivy wasn't perfect she didn't know how to comprehend beyond the fact she always mistaken lust for love or love for lust and vice versa it would be remnant of confusion but to be honest would be better to dishonest. Seeing that she went ignored for the moment she had no reason to continue with the conversation at hand. With the progression of her own powers she also looked alien to most of human kind with the pale skin yet green in hue met with yellow. Full lips parted as she sighed her eyes scanning his back as she ascended the stairs once more. Where would this end was the questions. Ivy was more concerned with it being a lie but she would rather ride it out used, taken for, than not to experience the feeling at all. Ascending the stairs she took to decorating the upper floors most of the structure was slowly being swallowed by vines. The upper dome half finished with beautiful different colored crystallized plant sugars. Ivy right hand at work whilst the oddly small cobra had not left her side. The rebellious one growing attached to the rather loving step mother since the placed had grown beautiful with mice and whatnot. Once the dome had been complete she had increased the heat by a couple lengths for it to meet tropical density. The large plants glowing more brightly as she finished with the upper spire with a crystalline chandelier constructed solely of solidified plant sugars.
Ivy mingled upstairs with the cobra merely had come up with a plan. It was far beyond he norm she would ascend th stairs sneaking among the flora. "Get him" was whispered her single rebel Sanse, mingled and lunged wrapping around his arm. She'd approach him arms playfully wrapping around his waist, "Seems like you got caught' she said
Liam was still bathing off the blood and venom, he was clean and about to step out of the cool pool when he felt one of his snakes wrap itself around his arm and from there, he felt Ivy's arms around his waist. He was happy to her being pleased and eager to be close to him, but no so much for the snake that apparently was so loving to it's new step mother. Caring was one thing, but following her commands? That was something he'd have to deal with and the snake knew it as he gave a low hiss that turned more playful for Ivy's ears. Thankfully she couldn't speak snake. His tail behind him rose up to wrap around her waist as well, he felt as if it was an extension of him now and no different to his arms in which he had held her the night before. "I see you're feeling happier now... My love..." He purred out in a his, turning around to her as he stepped over his tail and let the appendage remain around her. His hands flying straight up to her cheeks to which he'd softly cup, before locking his lips over hers in a venomous kiss.
Ivy was tired of being agitated it was tiring to worry for the moment she just wanted to be playful enjoy his company beyond anything else. The other snake agreed to something playful god only knows how long she reasoned with the thing. Seeing as the laughed at the hiss her fingers pressed on his chest as she felt his tail coil. Ivy hips turned into his as she tilted her fingers up to the runt cobra it's body almost hiding behind her hair from him seeking protecting him from the other guy. "Slightly less vindictive.." Her fingers tracing down his angular features, feeling the venom seep it was processed learned articulated through her biology. Fingers pressing onto his chest the woman's lips finally pulled away as she stared, "Why the bat though?" She asked imploring the woman's hand guiding him to sit at the fountain with her.
Her questions... Too many and his plan wouldn't work as he had foreseen it. But he could give her little hints of information, enough to sate her for now and keep her happy. That's what he wanted, her happiness. "Because, my love... He will stop at nothing to see your perfection ruined... Once I have the Bat... Nobody will be able to stop us." His hands continued to brush over her cheeks, his eyes peering into hers as the venom in his voice, the snakes ambition came alive during his next words. "αṉḋ τhεṉ ÿøυ αṉḋ ï ώïll ɾυlε τhε ώøɾlḋ øƒ ṡṉαќεṡ αṉḋ ρlαṉτṡ αṡ ќïṉģ αṉḋ συεεṉ....!" His body felt a wave, a surge of power as he declared his ambition. How it would feel to have man bow down before him... This was power, his birthright... What he deserved! And what she deserved.
He was doing something better than he would expect to keep his queen's wrath at bay. It was enough to keep her on the edge of wanting to keep asking but enough to keep her from asking.The woman was ..satisfied, needless to say, as she had scanned over his face her eyes watched for the momentt at hand her lips pursing. "Mnn~" She said, her head turning her eyes staring down at the floor. Would she rather feed him more information now or later? She picked to be honest, "There's other heroes out there. Your going to need help eventually, Bas." She said, her eyes staring even his ambition was there she knew there was going to be others.. others who wanted to stop him. Even as he had done so, she was sure they could do it but without the help of Harley and Joker? It was of question, but a question she was not ready to ask. The woman remained quiet, her head moving to just be placed on his chest as she tilted her head in his direction.
She worried over other heroes? He had already accounted for them, once Gotham had been taken over... They would be able to deal with other heroes and even villains with ease. He didn't fret over them, not did he show any sign of it. He merely moved his arms to join his tail around her waist as she rested her head against his chest. "Worry not, my love... I'll have surprises for them as they come." Cunning, that is what the snake drove into him. He placed a loving peck atop her head as she leaned on him. "And besides... I know a little vixen who can make good use of corpses." He purred out as his flat nose came down to nuzzle atop her head, his own resting on hers in the moment that the two twisted minds shared.
Ivy was worried, but why wouldn't she be? She was trying to understand how and why she was doing this kind of shit. Why she was dealing with the things at hand. Her lips pursed as she had scanned over his face for the moment her eyes watching the ground now as she felt his arms finally join her spine the woman had many thoughts. They wouldn't be hushed easily without answers, the woman just didn't rely on faith as easily. "Mn~ You better. I don't feel like destroying more buildings." She said, the lazy side of her showing as she merely leaned her weight into him the woman listening to his next words. Ivy merely laughed, the girl like sound fluttered as she had shook her head stubbornly. "Good use? It's called recycling my love. You should try to do so with your skins." She said idly eyeing it as she flicked her hand the skin being taken into the ground the plant that had done so growing in size.
-Time skip because Liam is lazy-
Poison Ivy was up to some mischief, she had left their home in the wee hours of the morning the woman casually taking disguise, her figure moving through the streets of gotham in her more.. human visage. Still, she caught glances in her more human grace her hair was more auburn, skin sun-kissed as she pondered through the streets of gotham she stopped at the sight where she had fought Green Lantern. Eyes scanned as she analyzed, glasses on her features as she placed a hand on her hip staring across. "..Need another point." She grumbled to herself, the woman walking through the streets quietly as she stopped down the road some looking to a large building. Staring, she crossed her arms she had to get another seed in the building.. it was large enough to do what she had wanted.
Arms crossing over one another she approached the building being stopped by a large man, "I'm sorry ma'am but this is off limits." She'd glance her right hand moving to the glasses as her fingers pressed against her lips blowing some type of.. gas in his face that left him.. dazed. "You won't remember a thing." She said simply, walked past him into the building for god knows what.
Liam had been left to his own devices in the midst of their own little haven. His body was a haven for snakes today it seemed, as he allowed them to slither over his slithery and decaying form. The cobra that seemed to be so attached to Ivy sat directly on his belly, staring up at it's master as Liam had started to talk over the rights and wrongs of what to do. It was no sorted, the cobra would continue using it's affections to Ivy and at the same time inform Liam of her plans and movements. Like that, the cobra instantly understood it's objective and with the scent of it's mother so dear to it's heart. Sanse merely slithered out of the warehouse and was soon on his way to where Ivy was heading. As Liam stroked his other children, he grinned widely his fangs and forked tongue. Nothing would escape his notice. Not even her.
Ivy had managed to plant that same particular seed she had planted in the center of gotham when she had fought green lantern. It was coveredin the foundation it was slowly growing it's veins across the bottom of the foundation to seek the other seed. This would take time but it was something she was willing to wait for. She dazed all those whom tried to stop her with a grin and simple wave of her hand. Shortly leaving the building the woman glanced behind her noticing.. Sense? The little creature left home just to find her? Ivy turned towards the creature her eyes staring down at it as it arched it's head waiting for her. It was small for a rattler a runt, abnormally a runt when he had spit out thousands of snakes. It was 4 feet long, small, but that came with his.. inexperience at the time. Ivy's right hand reached to the smaller snake it coiled around her arm slithering affectionately coiling up her arm. Ivy welcomed this particular snake, even if so she had taken a liking to it far beyond she intended. "I'm coming home now lovely."
Together they would return, Ivy finding herself slipping into the home without much escort the females right hand shutting the door behind her as the vines coiled about the door. Eyes scanning over Liam, her figure approached stripping away clothing easily the disguise fading as quickly as it had left. Her skin paling, vines climbing up her skin translucent tangled in pale almost greenish yellow skin her eyes glancing to the right as she abandoned the jean leaving nothing but foliage panties the woman's hand reaching to vines which came in an intricate tangled flora about her bust line. It was enough, she didn't enjoy to many clothes quite frankly. "Mn~ You let the little one out or did it slip out?" She said approaching him, sitting next to him among a litter of snakes.
-And Liam continued to be lazy and this little scene fell to the sands of time.-
Poison Ivy was tired of how small the warehouse was, she wanted something bigger, her pants had grown restless climbing up the walls. The woman was materialistic, needy, her fingers coaxed over her arms as she stared at the walls in dismay. This was not a good atrium for her children, nor his own snakes they would eventually over heat. It was fine for now but the more dense shit became the more it would be far beyond her control. She wanted a place close but far from gotham like her previous home but this warehouse.. it was too close to their activities. As beautiful as it had become Ivy was restless she was no satisfied. The woman was agitated, plants were destroying parts of the ware house. The fountain was broken by one sweep of her hand.
"All of it!" She shouted, the woman was agitated, Sanse on her shoulder tried to comfort the irate woman but the woman didn't calm. Ivy's insanity plagued her anger, the reckless behavior, the foundation shook a vines climbed the walls squeezing. "ALL-OF-IT!" She hissed, her right hand extending the pillars holding the chandelier causing it to fall crashing into the remnants of the the chandelier was crunched on by her foot. The woman kicking the larger shreds into a pillar which was.. shredded in half. Slowly, Ivy was unleashing her rage on the furnishing of what they called Haven.
Liam had been quietly musing in the peace and serenity of their little home, his snakes coiled around their father as he in turn was coiled around him. In her company, alone he had adopted his much more serpent like form as a regular attire. Alas the peace of the evening was cut short as the ensuring madness of his beloved caused echoes of chaos that his snakes retaliated to in violent hisses. It was best to let him handle it, he hissed out lowly, his forked tongue playing through as he rose and trudged over towards Ivy. His form only clad in worn out red sweats, his skin pale and scaly as he moved behind her only to place a hand on the shoulder Sanse didn't occupy.
"My darling... What is wrong..." He hissed out in a soft tone as he came around to stand next to her, silts viewing the destruction as his tail swept behind him. Spiked hair tumbling lightly in the wake of the wind her destruction caused. While he showed no fear of her destruction, he was slightly concerned for her plants and his snakes. It showed in his firm grip as he'd distract her from the destruction by sweeping his free hand under her chin, forming her to focus on him. "Talk to me..."
Ivy was not happy not in the slightest this .. place, this place they called home would be found it lingered to close to the roots. The plants were to close in comparison, they would continue with their own bullshit their own madness. Batman would catch up with it, Ivy's figure decorated in flora, her lower half in a simple foliage panty the upper half adorned in various flora covering her secondary sexua attributes. The woman's rage didn't stop, the pillar that was broken she'd pull vines from it it falling hitting another.. and another. She'd watch the destruction, the tumble of their base to the second floor only to remain attached by the overhead pillars her eyes staring at the crystalline stair. Ivy's foot steps would be bee-lining towards it before she felt the hand on her shoulder in her blind rage.
Stopping short, she wanted to just smack him did he not understand the danger? Did he not see it? Comprehend it, why was he so dense sometimes? "Why must I explain to you, Bas?" She hissed, her voice venomous the woman attempting to walk away she wanted to destroy everything. She'd walk away from him her face pulling away from his fingers as her right hand contacted the beautiful crystalline stair well shredding it causing it to fall the sound of glass shattering about from the sugar crystalline stairs breaking. "You should see it." She said, approaching him, vines crawling up her figure, green eyes staring. "Feel it.. You are connected with your children." Another lethal slap of vines on the ground as vines coiled around her.
It was simple as to why he didn't pull himself away from the danger of her wrath, there was a reason that he could just stand there and watch her go about smashing her creations without fear. He didn't fear her, not in the slightest. The taste of it was delicious, it had a sweet aroma in the air that he had tasted so fondly in the scene in which she had destroyed a building over him. He merely watched her walk off, hands coming behind his back as his silts followed and watches as the crystals shattered like glass over the floor.
As she snapped and snarled, he merely watched in slight amusement. His tongue forking out for a second as he listened before hissing out his own words. "My children... Are content... They are happy... The plants grow taller... And they climb higher... But this is a problem for you... You want a bigger home... Don't you, my love...?" His words dripped venom as he spoke, turning away from her as she coiled vines around her, showing her his back and tail as he started to walk off. Calling his children to attention with a loud hiss, the returning hisses blasted through the warehouse as thousands of the little reptiles came to their master's call. Standing at the center of the circle that had formed, made of everything ranging from anacondas to rattlesnakes and king cobras. Basilisk continued to hiss out to them, the snakes responding with a seeming head nod as they started to slither out of the warehouse en mass to their new objective. "We shall find you... A new home.... My love..." He finally spoke.
Ivy wasn't easily reigned when her anger consumed her she was reckless without a doubt as the crystalline glass dissolved into absolutely nothing it was a small amount of shit in a cup to go with nothing beyond the doubt of her own rage. This place would over heat, it would become nothing to her, right hand coiled as her fingers pulled at the pillars at the top it would crash down with nothing beneath it the plants aside safely, vines swung from the destroyed glass spired it lingered about all that left was the stainless dome keeping the heat in the female was agitated beyond reason her lips pursing as she placed a hand on her hip as she turned to face him.
"More room~" She said, her voice almost venomous, "My children are discontent with the lack of space." She said, in return her voice not calm but agitated. She hated them being cramped she hated being in hiding. A lot of it stemming from her dream to have nothing but space for her children for gotham to be covered nothing in flora. She craved more a bigger space, her lips pursed as watched him turn. "So precisely."
Shaking his head at his angered lover, Basilisk crept forward with his steps, finally releasing his hands behind his back as he'd bring them to her shoulders. "First... A new home... Then Gotham... And then the world..." He hissed out, a sadistic grin on his features as he leaned forward to place a venomous kiss with ease on her forehead before letting her go. "Come... I have something to show you... A little surprise..." He hissed out, slinking away with that ambitious gleam in his eyes.
To where he'd lead her was the corner of their little home, the confines of a small patch of lush flora that surrounded a small crate that it hadn't consumed. The crate had holes in it and was extremely large, but thankfully pushed back as far that it wouldn't be a problem if someone was looking for it. Leaning over the crate, he forked the lid off for her to give her a view of what he had been working on the last few days. Inside was the remains of a cracked egg shell, some straw and a large and vicious snake. It's skin looked like armor, it's glare was enthralling, it's body was twice that the size of an Anaconda, but just not as long by the looks of it's age and immediately it snarled out at Ivy as it rose it's head. Revealing rows of fangs rather then just two or four. "The Basilisk." He remarked to nobody in particular, his joy at his child clear as he reached out to give it a stroke along it's armored scales, the beast still glaring at Ivy.
Ivy was compasionate about her children as he crossed his arms the woman merely was stubborn and fairly upset. Those promises clouded her mind none the less, made her happy, was it truthfully love or was it just this sick twisted confusion she had no idea what god o no idea how to comprehend anything she was just trying to survive with shit trying to learn how to cope. The woman merely just snarled in his general direction knowing what her own children needed. "Fine.." She said softly, anger leaving almost to swiftly as he promised her something? She knew that look though it had nothing to do with her own current distress, none the less, Ivy did follow him her fingers linking around his in a hold.
There was a lot of things going on, the lush flora separated for her almost moved away as they came to a looking at a crate? She was confused, why a crate? There was usually no crate beyond the reason as she had scanned over them hr eyes looking over it as she noticed the lid lift. Her right hand looked at the.. giant snake, her eyes staring at it as it rose it's head. Why keep it contained? Why keep it in the box? None the less, Ivy approached it she was sure he wouldn't allow it to eat her. Sense on the other hand scurried behind her hair and slithered away. Glancing behind her she'd approach the large creature staring it in the eyes. "I hope you have control over this thing." She said simplistically.
The snake was indeed a monster, large and almost dragon like in it's appearance. Liam's hand petted softly along it's head, his tongue curling out as the beast turned it's massive maw to it's father and responded in kind as it's also large tongue slithered out for a flicker at the air. "He is... Controllable... But prone to rage... He also seemed to eat the others.... So for now he will remain here till there is a bigger food source.... And once you're all grown up... Daddy's gonna devour you and have thousands of you ready to fight..." He hissed out affectionately as he leaned forward to the snake, their noses touching for the moment in an shameless display. Once his head left it however, the beast turned it's attention back to Ivy and stared once more with it's ravenous gaze.
"In some cultures... The snake is born and grows.... Only the most powerful become dragons... I will become a dragon for you... My love." He purred in a venomous hiss as he paced himself back around to her again, looking down with a tilted head, his body stopping inches from hers as his own silts focused on her with attentive adoration.
Ivy did understand the whole thing but the snake was large, but a child? This was the confusing part, her eyes scanned over the giant snake her eyes staring at it as her lips pursed for a second her right hand staying far from it as she knew it would probably bite her fingers off. She really didn't need all that at the moment her eyes scanning over it she would not glance to him. "Hm~ It would be nice for him to have a bigger space no?" She said, her eyes scanning over the caged create her eyes staring as he had given the creature affection as often she had her own she would glance to the creature that seemed.. soft with him only gave her a look of wanting to eat it. She decided to stick her favors in Sanse needless to say she labeled it useful but definitely not a favorite.
Listening to the brief History lesson, Ivy was shameless about she wanted but truthfully she also want to be comfortable while they get there. Scanning over the creature, she glanced back to him, how long had it been? Two weeks? Three weeks since she had accepted the fact she fallen for him? Her lips pursed as his attention made her heart flutter. Fucking feelings, it as beyond her control as she just let him hurdle on about his ambitions. There was always the doubt of being used, but she chose to live in ignorance while he hopefully pretended hero. Right hand reaching for his Ivy pressed her figure against his. "Dragon? Stay as you are. I do not wish for anything more."
His fingers coiled around her hand as she held it, his free hand rising up to gingerly touch her cheek as his lips moved into the gap of her neck, his hot breathing hitting skin and Sanse lightly as he spoke. "But you want the world... And I have promised you that..." He muttered softly, his lips trailing in to place a small kiss to her neck, Sanse thankfully moving out of the way as the runt like cobra slithered from her shoulder to his in order to free up room. He had fallen too hard for her, gripped in his madness.
The basilisk in the background to them seemed intrigued by the events and slithered free from it's crate, tipping it over with ease as it started to coil it's large and powerful body around the two. Already as a child, it reached up half way up Liam's back, even at his towering height. The beast rested it's head on it's body, eyes still fixated on Ivy but it didn't dare move. It merely forked out it's tongue and allowed it to taste the air. Liam didn't react to it though, she was safe with him and soon these great beasts would become his greatest asset and Gotham's worst nightmare.
She wasn't trying to be out of the way she was trying to learn how to comprehend her feeling comprehend what was going on but the woman was fit for madness she wasn't going to learn anymore than she had at hand. When his head moved to her neck she'd breathe in deep. She'd become more.. still, the woman's fingers tangling more tightly as her other hand wrapped around his waist noticing Sanse moving out of the way off her shoulder to the the man she had nothing better to do with herself beyond what was at hand her fingers moving up to his waist as she had tilted her head for him. "Far from the world, Only gotham~ Darling." She said, the woman's fingers locking around his waist.
Yet, the mingling, the unison of their figures calmed the rage her fingers moving up his spine until she felt.. the snakes scales coil up her fingers. Her eyes darting to the child basilisk, her eyes scanning over it her eyes staring at the basilisk her eyes staring at him then the creature as it greeted her. She wasn't sure still how to feel about the creature her fingers remained slowly moving away from the creature slowly to rest on his chest.
Just Gotham may have been her intention, but the world was in his eyes. Beware, beware sweet Ivy of the words the snake can twist. There will come a day where the even the ravens black against the winters mist will be singing the serpent's song as it rises up in to a dragon and engulfs the world in it's power. The sadistic grin kept it's place still on the coiling turmoil that plagued his diseased mind. His body leaned back as she pushed forward, but his hands slip down to her waist as he pulled her with him. Having no irk upon his child's powerful body. With his arms around her, he'd pull her to close the gap as his lips continued to toy upon the flesh of her skin.
His child, the herald king of serpents that bowed before the true ki... No, he had created life. To do that was to be a god. He was beyond the mere moniker of a mortal life. If training with Ivy had taught him anything, it was that he was the perfect being. She had failed to kill him despite of all of her might. Not that it mattered, he adored his flora fused beauty. Sanse on his shoulder mused quietly as his far larger cousin merely rested his head on his own body and left the two to it. Basilisk's own lips coming free from her flesh as he looked up and moved back to look her in the eye. "Anything you want... My darling..."
Gotham was definitely her intention, she wanted it to be covered in flora to be the face of what would be the perfection for children of the city to grow with the appreciation of what life would be to live among fruits and animals. The parliament of trees pleaded with her to begin with almost to have beyond the normal things in hand or heart. She was trying to comprehend how she felt whatever it was her insanity mixed the feelings of lust and love with no true identification. The only thing that truly made her uneasy was the giant snake, it's huge head turning to coil down near his back. Feeling him pull, Ivy was entrance with the contact but her brain remained alert despite the fluttering feeling in her stomach.
The child? It would grow into something amazing, surely over time it would be.. something she could deal with. For now, she remained on the other side away from the head of the creature. Ivy did not see herself a Queen, she did not see herself a good neither. She merely saw someone with the potiential to change gotham into something beauty those whispers in her head whispering she could have anything only to mingle with his words only made the insane woman's fingers linger on his cheek. "A new home and bloodshed." Was answered.
