Wonder Woman as her alter ego Diana Prince walked among the farmers’ market carts and displays. The Amazon had learned that a few young ladies recently reported missing had all visited the same farmers’ market in the city park then gone missing. So instead of the powerhouse that was Wonder Woman she decided to come as Diana Prince, who met all the characteristics of the missing women. Early to mid 20s, unattached and away from home, this she hoped would attract whatever or whoever was involved with the disappearances.
Each one of the markets seemed harmless. Here some fresh bread, over there a wine dealer. Her next stop was the produce cart when she was stopped by a lady who worked at the flower display.
“Excuse me would you like to try some of our flower fragrances?” asked a young brunet roughly her height and age.
“Well..”, Wonder Woman started but thought, hey why not check out some new perfume might get a few more head turns from the guys at the office, “Sure why not.”
The two made the short walk over to the display. There three other ladies worked the cart, there was something about them that Diana just couldn’t place. Once they were at the display the lady pulled out one of the bottles.
“Here, try this one I think you enjoy.” They lady smiled as she sprayed a bit of the bottle onto Wonder Woman’s neck but also got a bit on her face.
“Hey you got a little…of that…” Diana started but then began to feel strange. Her words came slowly her eyes fluttered. She felt drossy, weaker. The young woman smiled and carefully placed her arm under Diana’s helping her stand but still giving the impression of showing her around the display. The pair moved slowly towards the rear of the flower area. Once out of sight another of the employees came from the front and opened the rear doors on the small truck used to bring the flowers to the market.
The two then lifted the stunned Diana into the back. In the middle was an air mattress. The two laid her down onto the mattress as she connected with the bed her head moved left to right trying to shake the num feeling out of her body. She tried to make a noise as well but couldn’t do that either.
Her kidnappers grab some rope and began to tie her ankles, thighs and writs together. Diana needed to change into Wonder Woman before she was taken. Her struggling began to intensify. This amounted to more head turns but then grew to her body slowly awakening. Her captures knew this as well.
“Damn, she is waking up. This stuff kept us down for much longer.” The second woman said.
“It’s okay the boss planed for this, get the chloroform.” The woman who ambushed Diana ordered. The second lady went to the front of the cab and pulled the brown bottle labeled CHLOROFORM and brought it back with a white cloth. She pored the bottles contents into the cloth. Wonder Woman was beginning to arise from her drugging when the cloth came down on her face.
“MMHPPPPP!” was all she got out. Her lungs inhaled the sweet atheistic which took the fight out of her. Her struggles grew weaker just like her body. With one last glance at the attackers her eyes slowly closed and her head slumped to the side. The second girl removed the cloth.
“Wow that worked well.” She commented.
“Yes”, responded the first, “The chloroform will keep her asleep and just to be sure I’m going to leave the cloth under her face. The fumes she breaths in will keep her out even longer, plus keep her weaker when she awakens.”
The two left Diana tied and helpless in the back. They would keep working till closing then drive their find back to their boss.
The truck came to a stop at the Memorial Park greenhouse. The large dome structure was the home to many different plants and a lousy tourist site, which left it fairly empty during the day and deserted at night. This made it the prefect hideout. Turning of the lights and killing the engine the flower shop ladies went to unload their cargo.
Wonder Woman still disguised as Diana Prince lay in the back of the truck. The rag still smelling of chloroform rested near her face keeping her asleep. The first women who captured the Amazon went over to the sleeping superheroine and lifted her up by her arms. With a pull she brought Diana over her right shoulder. The other girls collected the chloroform and other items in the truck and headed inside.
The greenhouse was warm and humid. All of the girls except the one carrying Diana went to the gardener’s shack to change out of their clothes. Diana went to another location. Next to a series of jungle vines her kidnapper laid her into a chair. Next she undid Diana’s bonds. The heroine slumped to the side and lay helplessly in the chair. With that the woman walked to join her comrades.
A few minutes later…
Diana’s head ached…she shook her head. Her mind was clouded and body sluggish. The constant exposure to the chloroform left her in a weakened state. With each passing second though she grew more awake and coherent. Although with her awakens she now noticed she was flanked on all sides by her captors. Diana also noticed their change of clothes. Each woman now wore a sleeveless dark green leotard and a pair of bright green tights. Diana wondered why they were circling her in these outfits and standing in the dirt in their stocking feet with no shoes.
“Well, good work girls she should work out nicely.” A sexy feminine voice sounded from behind the girls. Wonder Woman looked to see who it was; she didn’t have to try hard. The figure walked out from behind her goons…
“POSION IVY!!” Diana cried in shock.
The famous villainess who loved the Earth and used its pants to get her means now stood in front of Wonder Woman who checked out the villainess. Ivy’s red hair went down to her shoulders. Her green eyes burned into Diana’s. Poison Ivy’s green halter top leotard was decorated with various leaves and small vines. Like her goons she wore pair of green tights but her’s was decorated with an Ivy plant running down her legs.
“She is the right age and type. She seems strong and she has some wonderful legs.” Ivy told her subornments.
“What do…you want with…me?” Diana asked in her best scared voice. Ivy smiled and walked the last few feet to the chair. Once their she bent over and ran a hand up Diana’s leg.
“Ohh nothing just to make you closer to me…” the deadly environmentalist responded. She then took off Diana’s shoe, and feeling her pantyhosed incased foot. Diana looked terrified but in reality she was thinking. Each second Ivy wasted she grew stronger, a testament to her Amazonian body. With her strength returned, she acted.
A swift kick from her leg Ivy stroked connected with the villainess chin. Poison Ivy went backwards into two of her henchwomen. The other two on the left of the falling two went for Diana. With a jump out of the chair she landed a quick kick to the first and nailed the second with an elbow in the face. Both went down, and she ran. Diana didn’t need to get away but she needed to get far enough away to change into Wonder Woman!
Diana ran as fast as she could. Even in her secret identity she was still blessed by her Amazonian body, running four times faster than Poison Ivy or her henchwomen. After a short run she had made it to the other side of the arboretum. Seeing that the coast was clear the superheroine began to spin. She spun in a circle going faster and faster with the grace of a ballerina as she reached the right speed a blast of light flashed…
Wonder Woman came out of the light. No longer Diana, the Amazonian now was blessed with all her strength, speed and grace deserved to her. Wonder Woman was now confident she could take on Poison Ivy and her cohorts. She jumped up twenty feet into a large jungle tree and grabbed a spot where she could check out her enemies. Poison Ivy was up and giving orders to her henchwomen. The four girls split into pairs of two and headed into the plants to find Diana. Wonder Woman formulated a plan; she would take out the each pair then get Ivy. She jumped back down and made her way slowly towards the first pair.
Jenny and Sarah were moving down the path that leads to the west entrance of the arboretum. They were quiet in their skin tight outfits making little noise as they went through the trees. CRACK! The sudden sharp sound of a broken branch stopped them cold. Using some hand singles the two went to each side of the tree the sound came from. As Jenny went around the left she tripped over a very thin gold rope hidden in the brush. The red haired villainess fell face first with a thud! Sarah turned quickly to see what befell her partner when Wonder Woman stepped out from the brush and clamped her arms around Sarah’s neck.
She tried to scream for help but was helpless as Wonder Woman clamped a hand over her mouth and cut her cries off. The sleeperhold began to take almost instantiates effect on the young lady. Wonder Woman’s strength was too much for the woman’s arties which feed her brain oxygen. With the lack of O2 in the brain she began to slip into a deep unconscious. The Amazon released the koed villain and went for her partner who was quickly getting up from her golden lasso trip wire.
Jenny should have called for her partners but thought she could take the Amazon. The two locked arms. At first Jenny thought she had the upper hand then was sorely mistaken when she was flipped over Wonder Woman’s head and slammed onto the heroine’s knee. The backbreaker had been pulled so she didn’t hurt the woman’s spine, but the force had been enough to take the fight out of the henchwoman.
Using her foe’s weakened state to her advantage; Wonder Woman retrieved her lasso and wrapped it around the henchwoman’s leotard. After sitting her up Wonder Woman began to get some answers.
“The power of my lasso forces you to obey my commands, you will not try to free yourself or call out to Ivy. Now who are you and how did you get here?” Wonder Woman demanded.
“I’m Jenny Tillman, a senior at the University. I answered a help wanted add for a job at a flower shop. When I got there I was interviewed then chloroformed when I wasn’t looking. I remember Ivy standing over me then…I don’t know.” She answered.
So that’s what happened to the missing girls, Wonder Woman thought, Jenny Tillman, Sarah Fleming, Mary Griffin and Kelly McPherson all taken by Ivy but why?. She asked again about the memory block but the girl couldn’t give her an answer. Wonder Woman frowned that meant she had real memory loss, her lasso forced anyone to tell the truth.
“Jenny one more thing, you are going to sleep deeply and can only be awakened by my lasso, understood?” the heroine asked.
“Yes…I am getting…sleepy…” Jenny answered and fell asleep from the effect of the lasso. Wonder Woman got up and made her way to the next two henchwomen to take them out.
Wonder Woman watched the two ladies approach, Mary and Kelly. Both girls were actively looking for her. As Mary and Kelly continued to look for Diana Prince they had walked right into Wonder Woman’s trap. The Amazon waited till the right moment and…NOW!
Wonder Woman jumped straight down on her lasso which was looped over a tree branch, as she shot up the villainess pointed her and were about to jump her when they were lifted straight up! Wonder Woman had widened the hoop part of her lasso. It was large enough to fit both girls inside. As Wonder Woman came down the lasso went taught around both henchwoman’s bodies. The heroine smiled as the girls struggled kicking their legs widely. She gave a prompt order,
“Stop”, both villainess stopped, “Now you are getting very sleepy and need a rest. Now get some rest.”
The two girls slumped forward their head resting on their chests. Carefully the Amazon lowered the ladies and set them down. Confident they would sleep she left them unbound. Now it was time to deal with Ivy. Placing her lasso on her waist the heroine walked to where she had seen Ivy.
Wonder Woman stepped into the clearing that was around the gardener’s building. She scanned for Ivy. If the villainess stepped out to fight Wonder Woman was ready. Hands on her hips standing in the classic power pose of superheroines she was beaming confidence. As she took some steps forward Ivy came out of the shadows.
“Wonder Woman I see you have found me. Did you save that little lady who got me in the face?” the villainess asked.
“Yes I did, Ivy and complemented her for the kick. Now I’m taking you in.” The heroine moved towards Poison Ivy. She was ready for a quick fight. With no superpowers of her own Ivy would prove much easier to take down than the usual villain. Ivy just stood there smiling. As Wonder Woman closed she waited for the right moment.
“Ohh Wonder Woman you know what is the worst thing about Ivy?”
“What?” she answered closing the distance.
“It just grows too slow so I speeded it up.” Poison Ivy smirked, throwing a set of seeds into the ground in front of Wonder Woman. The heroine looked amused wondering what seeds could do to her. She should have moved.
The ground split open and huge mutated ivy plants streaked forth. The wrapped themselves around the heroine’s arms, legs and body. Wonder Woman was shocked as she was lifted into the air and attacked by the plant. The Amazon began to pull in every direction using all of her strength. One would expect the vines to snap under the heroine’s super strength. The exact opposite happened. Most of the vines remained intact. Those that broke were replaced by others. Wonder Woman struggled with all her might to free herself.
Ivy laughed as she grew closer. Wonder Woman’s struggles were useless against her mutant plants. Made stronger and deadlier these vines would hold Wonder Woman till she gave up or collapsed from exhaustion.
“I suggest you give up Wonder Woman, those vines won’t tire, unlike you.” The villainess smirked. She then deposited more seeds under the heroine, resulting in more vines coming up. Wonder Woman was sweating and getting weaker. Her powers remained intact, but it felt like she has going twenty rounds with Supergirl. She was getting tired. Ivy smiled seeing the heroine reaching exhaustion. Ivy touched her vines and as if under her direct control, as a result Wonder Woman was lowered to her on the ground. Renewed proximity to the supervillainess resulted in another struggle by Wonder Woman which was short lived. Ivy was pleased.
“Ohh, Wonder Woman you are soo tried…you should just hang there for a moment and rest.” Poison Ivy said while caressing the Amazon’s face. Wonder Woman spat at Ivy.
“No, no Wonder Woman. You shouldn’t have done that”, Ivy looked at the Amazon’s lasso, “well I guess I’ll just play with this for a while.”
Wonder Woman screamed a no, but it was pointless. Ivy detached the lasso and played with it for a few minutes. Then as if it just hit her Ivy smiled and said, “Ohh I remember this lasso forces anyone to tell the truth, let’s learn a few things ehh Wondie?”
Wonder Woman struggled but it was no use. Soon Ivy had the lasso tied around her waist. She felt the numbing sensation that comes with being bound. Now she was helpless against Ivy’s questions.
“First question, is there anyway to make powerless and keep you as my helpless prisoner?” Ivy asked with glee.
Wonder Woman fought the urge to answer but like those who had been bound by her before, she couldn’t resist the lasso’s effect.
“Remove my magic belt. It’s the source of my strength and powers outside my home island.” Wonder Woman hung her head in shame. She had just revealed her weakness to Poison Ivy.
With controlled glee Poison Ivy stripped Wonder Woman of her belt. As the golden griddle left her body Wonder Woman felt all her powers leave her. She stood little chance against the vines with her strength now she was powerless to stop the vines or Ivy.
Poison Ivy was very pleased. First she had lured a superheroine to her lair, then captured them with her mutant plants and finally had learned their weakness and stripped them of their powers. In all for the supervillainess it was a good night.
“Well Wonder Woman it seems this belt is the source of your power. So now I feel confident enough to test my next phase.” Ivy gloated as she walked to a work table near the shack.
“What, ‘next phase’ Ivy?” Wonder Woman asked, fearing the answer.
Poison Ivy turned her head over her shoulder and smiled at the Amazon. Wonder Woman now was worried. Ivy’s smirk was disconcerting especially with out her magic belt. The villain arrived at the table and began to assemble the items arrayed on it. While doing this she turned her head over her shoulder again and addressed Wonder Woman.
“I was deep in the Congo looking for a very special plant. After contacting a local tribe they showed me the plant I sought. It had some interesting chemical properties inside its pollen. After refinements in the structure of the pollen I needed some test subjects. First was Ms. Tillman then the other girls you encountered. After four successful tests I knew it wouldn’t be long till I got to test it on a superheroine. Four missing girls, I knew it would play to one of you dimwits came looking for them, I didn’t know who.”
“What was so special about this plant Ivy?” Wonder Woman asked curious.
“Many of the chemicals in the pollen were close to those that are in mind effecting drugs. With a little modification they can make people quite responsive to the commands of someone else. Now, that I have had successful human trials its time to test them on my ultimate target, a superheroine.”
Wonder Woman was now really nervous. How was Ivy going to brainwash her? She needed a way out but even if her belt had been on she couldn’t escape these vines. Ivy walked closer with whatever she was working on hidden behind her back. Wonder Woman was looking all over trying to figure a way out but it was hopeless. Poison Ivy loved it.
“All right Wonder Woman lets test this out.” Poison Ivy said with that evil smirk.
She revealed what she had been hiding, lipstick. Ivy unscrewed the cap and turned the fiery red color up. Slowly and seductively Poison Ivy placed the lipstick across her lips.
“Umm taste good Wonder Woman. Want to try it?” she asked.
“You’re going to brainwash me with a…a…a kiss.” The heroine stammered.
Ivy just smiled and brought her lips forward. The vines forced Wonder Woman’s head to remain fixed. She couldn’t move out of the way. Poison Ivy kissed her…passionately. Ivy’s lips connected to her’s, and the villainess slipped her tongue into Wonder Woman’s mouth. At first Wonder Woman fought the sensations coming from her mouth, but then things quickly changed. Ivy’s drug coated lipstick entered her bloodstream. The plant’s brainwashing effect was in her system. Her muscles relaxed, her mind grew num.
As the drug entered her brain it coated the decision making process center, neutralizing it. Wonder Woman has no will or choice. Ivy noticed Wonder Woman’s resistance grow weaker till it was gone. Now they shared a deep kiss. Withdrawing her tongue and mouth Ivy cupped Wonder Woman’s head in her hands. The Amazon’s blank stare was the final sign.
“Wonder Woman”, Ivy asked quietly, “can you hear me?”
“Yes…” she answered, her voice not really her’s.
“Good, you will now do what I say. I am your master, you will do whatever I want, do you understand?”
“Yes…Poison Ivy…master.” Wonder Woman answered. Satsified Ivy let her vines release Wonder Woman. The heroine stood dazed and confused. Now for one last test, Ivy thought to herself. She was going to hook Wonder Woman’s belt back up giving Wonder Woman her superpowers back. Carefully she replaced the golden belt around Wonder Woman’s slender waist. With a click, Wonder Woman’s powers returned. Still though she was a mind slave to Ivy, it seemed though that she was a much more coherent zombie than before.
“Now Wonder Woman again you must kiss me.” Ivy ordered, to which Wonder Woman responded with a kiss that rivaled Ivy’s. If the Amazon was playing possum she would have won an Oscar. After a few quick minutes of orders Ivy freed her other slaves. Although it seemed Wonder Woman’s lasso undid her mind control. Oh well, Ivy thought, she just had to kiss each of them again. Too bad.
Even though having a common enemy the great World War II alliance of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin was doomed due… She sighed at the computer screen, You pick the easist essay in the class and when do you work on it lady of Steel? Two days before its due! Linda thought to herself.
Linda Danvers looked like any other college junior working on her midterm history paper at one in the morning. Her hair in a simple clip above her head, sitting cross legged in a chair with her head darting between a book about Josef Stalin and the screen in front of her. No one else would know that she had a certain blue and red costume under her bed.
Although the powers that she possessed weren’t helping her tell about Iron Fleiks and his need to back stab the allies after WWII. Normally she just would have had the paper written by hand then super typing it into Word. Except that this time she had not worked on the paper before hand due to a mixture of partying, saving the world and not caring about the subject. So, when the Girl of Steel’s cell phone rang she instantly went for it.
“Hello, Linda here” she answered.
“Hi, Supergirl.” Responded a seductive woman on the other end. Linda’s eyes went wide, someone knew her secret. First she tried playing dumb.
“Sorry, I think you have the wrong number and I’m busy so…”
“All right I think your not getting it”, the voice said, “I know your Linda Danvers, you’re from Leesburg, and unlike what your adoption document says you weren’t given up in the hospital, but arrived viva a spaceship.” Linda sat silently, thanking whoever had managed to keep her roommate occupied for a night.
“Fine, you seem to know a few things about me, what about you? Care to share some facts.” She replied, angry and a little afraid wondering who learned her identity.
“Oh Supergirl, that seems fair. Well I enjoy botany and capturing heroines…” Ivy didn’t finish.
“Ivy, Poison Ivy”, Supergirl answered, “I didn’t recognize your voice over the phone. I guess I’ll talk to my local phone dealer and get better coverage. What do you want?”
“Well Supes, I want to see you at the City’s arboretum in ten minutes or your friend Wonder Woman gets it. Also check your mail.”
Linda looked at her display and brought up her email on Netscape. There was a new email with a JPEG attached. Opening it up it showed her friend Diana, bound with Ivy’s vines. A woman holding an M-16 was next to her, with it trained on the Amazon’s head.
“See Supergirl, if your late not only will the lovely Amazon get a bullet in the face but your personal facts get sent to all the national, local and global news outlets.”
“All right Ivy ten minutes.” Linda answered. The phone clicked off. Linda stared at the picture a few seconds wondering how Diana ran into Ivy and got captured. She didn’t have a choice. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin would have to wait another night. Saving her work she went for a chest under the bed.
Opening it up Linda dumped the books and junk in it then grabbed the false bottom. With that removed she saw what she wanted, her blue and red Supergirl outfit. After taking it out she reassembled the chest and got to changing. Linda slipped out of her tank top and shorts. First on was her blue leotard, sliding it up her body till she got her arms into her selves and leotard secured. Next her short red skirt, tightening up the yellow belt that kept the skirt in place.
Her boots came on after that. Then she clasped her cape around her neck and removed her glasses. Final thing was the hair clip keeping her hair in a faired mess above her head. With it gone her blonde hair fell to her shoulders and almost seemed perfect. Supergirl was ready.
Opening the window she went as fast as her superpowers would allow out of the window. Anyone watching from the ground would just notice a blur and keep going. With the slipstream passing around her, Linda rose to get a higher look at the city. The arboretum was lit up in the park. Supergirl knew she was walking into a trap, Kryptonite, a superpowered plant monster? God only knows, she thought. But she needed to help Wonder Woman.
Seconds later the Maiden of Might was in front of the large dome shaped arboretum. A scan with her x-ray vision showed no one in sight. Linda knew they were there though. With confident but careful steps, Supergirl entered the dome.
Walking through the door Supergirl looked right and left trying to spot trouble. When none appeared she went airborne. Silently rising into the trees she scanned again with her X-rays. She spotted Wonder Woman, still bound but with no guard. No sign of Ivy or any one else. Linda was about to fly over to Diana when she heard a clunck, then whistling in the air. Supergirl turned to see a canister flying right at her! She was going to doge only to have the canister explode out a large net.
She was caught and as Supergirl struggled during her fall and tangled her body into the net. With a thud the Girl of Steel landed and struggled to get free. Poison Ivy’s henchwomen surrounded her on the ground. Linda looked at each of them. One was carrying the M-16, another the net launcher she now was bound with.
Jenny now back under the control of Ivy’s brain washing kiss spoke first “Well it seems Supergirl isn’t all that strong eh girls?”
The other girls laughed and stared at the netted heroine who glared back but then smiled.
“Well, true I can’t get free while falling, but now that I’m on the ground…” Supergirl jibbed.
Flexing her arms then pulling them out away from her body, Supergirl broke free of the net with a burst of strength. The bad girls reacted fast. Mary, holding the net launcher, took aim with another shot, Supergirl with a burst of speed went forward and grabbed the launcher out of her hand. Linda aimed the launcher and fired. Mary was now trapped on the ground.
Kelly steadied the M-16 on her shoulder and fired. A three round burst smacked into the Girl of Steel’s invincible body. Supergirl shrugged off the hits and sent a kick into the girl’s midsection. Kelly flew into a tree and slumped into unconscious. The last two girls jumped Linda. One wrapped her arms around Supergirl’s neck and tried to apply a sleeperhold. The other punched Linda in the abs, big mistake, the girl’s hand almost shattered after hitting Supergirl’s body. She went down clutching her injured hand.
With Sarah down Jenny increased her efforts to bring Supergirl to her knees. Linda rolled her eyes. Without superstrength or her weakness there was no way Supergirl could be rendered helpless by this girl. Linda grabbed Jenny by her arms pulled the girl forwards off her back and onto the ground. Jenny laid koed on the ground. Supergirl walked around and collected her attackers. A few minutes and bent steel bars later all four girls laid on the ground struggling helplessly against steel bonds.
Linda left the henchwomen and went to help out Wonder Woman and find Ivy.
Supergirl reached Wonder Woman seconds later. Diana was out cold in the vines. Linda checked for any sign of Ivy, again, no sign of the plant villainess. Supergirl then went work on freeing her friend. Staring at the vines she was going to use her heat vision to rip the vines apart. Her eyes turned bright red and she let the mutant plants have it. Each of the vines was slashed in half by her lasers. After a minute or two of grooming the vines Wonder Woman was free. She caught her friend in her arms and lowered the koed Amazon to the floor.
Kneeling next to Wonder Woman Supergirl tapped her on the shoulder asking, “Diana, Wonder Woman, its Supergirl, its Linda wake up.”
For a minute Diana didn’t answer. Then her eyes slowly opened, Supergirl smiled and was about to make a crack about sleeping on the job when Wonder Woman gave her a left hook across the face. Linda went down onto her back, her check sore. What the hell, Supergirl thought, why did she do that? She didn’t even pull her punch. Normally she and Wonder Woman didn’t use their full strength on the crooks unless needed; Wonder Woman just gave her a test of an un-pulled punch.
Diana jumped up fast and drove her boot right into Supergirl’s mid section. Linda’s face echoed the pain in her abs. She needed to get back up. As Wonder Woman readied her boot for another smash, Supergirl caught the foot in her hand and flipped Wonder Woman over. Using the time to get up, Supergirl watched Diana go flying only to land back on her feet. Each heroine now had some distance in between themselves neither moved.
“Wonder Woman what the hell is wrong with you?” Supergirl asked, “Have you gone nuts, I came here to save you.”
Wonder Woman didn’t respond, charging her friend. Supergirl needed options. She could take out her friend, but that risked injuring Diana she needed a plan. Linda didn’t have much time to think because she headed straight up to doge Wonder Woman. Hovering above the Amazon she decided she have to bind Diana in her own lasso. Wonder Woman jumped right at Supergirl.
Linda dogged left as Diana went passed her. Wonder Woman landed on a branch and did another jump at Supergirl. This time though, Wonder Woman gave herself lead and connected with Supergirl as she flew out of the way. Linda and Diana went into the dirt with Supergirl taking the brunt of the fall. Wonder Woman wasted no time and began to pummel Supergirl with punches. Linda did her best to block them but one or two got through.
The Girl of Steel now needed to get a bit more violent. She hated it but needed to bring Wonder Woman down a notch before trying to bind her. Supergirl got both of her legs to connect with Diana’s body and sent her flying. While in flight Linda went airborne and landed two punches into Wonder Woman’s abs. Diana fell and landed on her back, she ached in pain. Supergirl landed next to her.
“Sorry Diana, but your out of control. I need to keep you tied down while I look for Ivy.” Supergirl explained as she went for Diana’s lasso.
Wonder Woman looked as if she was still recovering when the mighty Amazon reached out with her arms and locked onto Supergirl’s left arm. Diana then brought Supergirl down onto top of her body. When the Girl of Steel was on top of her she wrapped her powerful legs around Supergirl’s mid section. Squeezing with her thighs Wonder Woman applied a strong leg scissors to Supergirl. Linda grunted as she felt the effects of Wonder Woman’s superstrong legs squeezing her chest to force the air out of her lungs.
As if the scissors wasn’t enough, Diana then got Supergirl into a sleeperhold cutting of the flow of blood to Supergirl’s brain. Now with two threats on her Supergirl didn’t know what to do. Unlike Jenny’s attempt to weaken her with the sleeper, Wonder Woman could do it to her due to the Amazonian strength in Diana’s body. Supergirl tried freeing herself from the legs around her or the sleeper. Neither attempt worked. She felt weaker as she grew sleepier from the hold. Then she had an idea.
Supergirl took off taking Wonder Woman with her. Flying backwards was tricky but she was almost in postion. Wonder Woman tried to knock Supergirl out but couldn’t before the slammed into the glass of the dome. The impact freed her from the combo hold and stunned Wonder Woman. Supergirl then grabbed her friend and headed straight down. The impact sent dust and dirt skyward. At the bottom of a one foot crater Wonder Woman laid with Supergirl standing over her.
Linda hated doing that to Diana, but she needed her really stunned. That did it. Wonder Woman weakly moved her head back and forth trying to wake up. She was also trying to speak. Supergirl knew her friend was getting up anytime soon so she bent over.
“What is it Wonder Woman?” she asked, hoping for an answer to why she had been attacked.
“Want…want…” Wonder Woman spoke softly.
“What?”
“Want…to…try…”, Wonder Woman stammered and as she did, reaching near the edge of her belt, “to…try the…new…perfume?”
Supergirl was about to ask WTF when with renewed energy she pulled a small spray bottle from her side and sprayed the contents into Supergirl’s eyes. The spary stung like a thousand neetles. It felt as if her eyes were on fire!
“AHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!” Supergirl screamed.
“I wanted to know if you wanted to try the kryptonite perfume, courtesy of Poison Ivy.” Wonder Woman laughed.
Supergirl felt the stuff work on her eyes. She couldn’t see well, they burned like hell and made her weak. The Girl of Steel stumbled around trying to find some water to wash the green kryptonite form her eyes. Linda hit something hard. At first she thought it was a tree, but then she noticed the tree had sexy curves and felt like it was wearing lycra and spandex.
“Poison Ivy!” she stammered. Linda had walked right into the villainess. Ivy smiled and took a fist full of Supergirl’s collar. Holding the heroine right up to her face the villainess said.
“How about a kiss Supergirl?” She then planted her lips onto the Maiden of Might’s. Linda was disgusted as Ivy shoved her tongue down her mouth. Supergirl wasn’t completely blind, so she took aim as best she could with a punch and connected it to Ivy’s head.
The villainess went down like a rock. Supergirl struggled towards what looked like a sink. Ivy not about to let her find get away yelled for Wonder Woman. The Amazon had enough time to recover and jumped as high as she could. While airborne she put her legs together and executed a perfect gymnast’s jump onto Supergirl’s back. Linda went down like a ton of bricks, face first. Wonder Woman then lifted the Girl of Steel up and forced Linda’s hands behind her back. She then bound them quickly with her lasso.
Ivy pulled herself up from the ground. And walked over to the two heroines, Supergirl struggled but couldn’t free her arms.
“Well, it seems Supergirl your kryptonian body makes you invulnerable to my mind control lipstick, a shame.” Ivy said.
“Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve never been much for accepting frenchers from wackos.” Linda shot back.
“Wonder Woman didn’t mind, she seemed to enjoy it. Maybe too much time around other women on that Amazon Island of her’s.” Ivy returned.
Supergirl just stared back. Her eyes were blood red from the kryptonite, plus alls she could see was a blur. Ivy could see some fear there. Although not for Ivy, but her eyes.
“Well don’t worry about your pretty blues Supergirl. The kryptonite was very weak and only meant to keep your lasers from working.” The villainess reassured.
Supergirl just stared back. Probably thinks I’m bull shiting her, Ivy thought. The villainess had told the truth but didn’t care if Supergirl believed her or not. The Girl of Steel wouldn’t live long enough to know.
Linda knew this really sucked. First she had to fight one of her best friends, get her fatal weakness in her eyes and was now temporally blind; finally she still hadn’t finished her paper. This night defiantly sucked, she thought.
Wonder Woman gave Supergirl up to the mutant plants. The plants wrapped around her arms and legs. Linda struggled but saw it was useless. Supergirl thought about using her heat vision, but then found she couldn’t use it.
“Don’t bother Supergirl, the kryptonite has made your killer vision useless.” Ivy smirked.
Linda shook her head wondering what she was going to do. With out any options imediatit at the moment she decided to play to Poison Ivy’s ego.
“All right Ivy, what do you want with me?” She asked.
“Well Supergirl, I’m going to get rid of you.” Ivy said. The villainess saw Supergirl’s shocked reaction. Good.
“Ohh and how do you plan on doing that?” Linda said with some cockiness, trying to stay confident.
Poison Ivy walked over to a table and picked up another lipstick. She then walked right over to Supergirl. The villainess ran her hands down Supergirl’s sides. Linda squirmed to free herself from the villainess hands. The plants kept her body from moving. Supergirl couldn’t only glare at Poison Ivy as the villainess traced the S symbol on her chest with a finger.
“Your about to receive the deadliest kiss a woman like you can get Supergirl. A kryptonite one.” Poison Ivy said, uncapping the lipstick.
Linda started at the now released kryptonite. Even though it was in a paste form, Supergirl could feel the effects of the deadly radiation. She hated kryptonite of course. When near a chunk of her home planet got near her if felt like her insides were dissolving, her powers would get drained out of her and her veins would turn green. She didn’t feel that bad now but what would happen if Ivy kissed her?
“Once inside your bloodstream Supergirl you will feel its effects, the kryptonite will make you vulnerable to the poison in the lipstick.” Ivy explained.
Supergirl was helpless and she knew it. Ivy was getting excited, she was about to finish off the most powerful heroine on the planet, Wonder Woman was her slave and in her opinion her night was going very well.
Linda watched in silent terror as Ivy took the green lipstick which had a green glow and place it on her lips. Moving her lips to get the kryptonite all over her lips she was now ready. Supergirl struggled; she tired her heat vision again, nothing! She was searching for a way out, a one didn’t come.
“I’m going to enjoy this…Supergirl” Poison said as she locked her lips onto Supergirl’s. Linda winced in pain. The contact of the kryptonite on her skin sent sharp pains down her back, her lips felt like they were burning. As the poison and kryptonite worked her way into her blood she felt the kryptonite making her weaker and weaker. Her body felt like it was on fire and Linda could feel the powers leaving her body. Supergirl just wanted to curl into a ball.
Poison Ivy pulled her lips away and this time smiled as the Girl of Steel’s face showed the pain ripping through her body. Supergirl slumped forwards in the vines, her body going limp. The Maiden of Might’s head now barely kept up by her neck. Poison Ivy smiled, Supergirl was dying.
“Wonder Woman, Supergirl is going to expire soon. I want you to inform me when the lovely kryptonian is finished.” Ivy ordered. She was going back to her lab to reform her mind control lipstick.
Wonder Woman just stood there and watched her friend, who was dying slowly. Who also was trying to come up with something, it was hard. Between the pain, confusion and wanted to curl into a ball and die, Supergirl came up with the first part of a plan. Wonder Woman watched as Supergirl grew weaker. After a few minutes the Girl of Steel was not moving. Diana following Ivy’s orders went and freed Supergirl from the vines. Laying the seemingly dead superheroine on the ground she was about to inform Ivy when a hand grabbed her pantyhosed leg.
“Diana…please…you have…t..to…help me.” Linda pleaded. Wonder Woman was easily able to get the weakened Supergirl’s hand of her. Diana bent over and looked the dying Supergirl.
“No chance. Ivy is my master and you need to be eliminated. Too bad Ivy’s kiss didn’t give you the excitement it gave me.” Wonder Woman mocked.
Supergirl received a punch to the stomach. She rolled over onto her back and whimpered in pain. Wonder Woman was about to leave when she noticed Supergirl’s hand was on her waist. With all the strength she could muster Linda yanked off Diana’s belt. Wonder Woman was de-powered! Supergirl went airborne and pushed her friend to the ground. Both women rolled back and forth, Supergirl and Wonder Woman struggled. Supergirl finally got what she wanted after Wonder Woman’s belt, her lasso. With her final bits of strength she wrapped Diana’s lasso around Wonder Woman’s arm and,
“Diana, your freed of the mind control!” with that Supergirl fell onto her back exhausted.
Wonder Woman at first was confused. She felt like she had awoken from a bad dream, one where she told Ivy about Supergirl’s secret identity as Linda Danvers, something about kryptonite and OH GOD. She sat up and looked at Supergirl who was laying face down in the dirt. Her breathing irregular, heart beat uneasy.
Diana saw Linda’s eyes were closed as she rolled Supergirl onto her back. Wonder Woman was afraid, was Supergirl dead? A grunt out of the heroine eased her fears. Supergirl’s blue eyes opened and she let out a small smile.
“Glad…to see…your’re…back” Supergirl weakly replied.
“Linda! Ohh god I’m sorry are you okay, how can I help? What do you need?” Diana stammered.
“Well…we need…to get this poison out…of…me”, Supergirl answered, “But I need…need…some…sun.”
Diana was confused, why did Supergirl need a tan? Then it hit her, Supergirl’s body was made super by the radiation from the Sun. But she didn’t need direct sunlight.
“Linda I’m not getting it, you don’t need direct exposure to solar rays.” Wonder Woman asked.
“No…if I can get a lot of solar rays…it will slow the effects…of the poison and…kryptonite.” Linda answered.
Wonder Woman thought about it. It was 2 in the morning and where was she going to… “Wait! Hold on Supergirl.”
Wonder Woman put her belt back on and felt the return of her powers. Next she picked up Supergirl carefully. Carrying her as if she was a baby, Wonder Woman made her way to the other side of greenhouse. There was what she wanted. Carefully Diana laid Supergirl onto a table.
“Diana…what are you…” Supergirl didn’t finish her sentence a stab of pain went through the Girl of Steel’s body. Her breathing became more labored; she was running out of time.
“A lot of these Greenhouses use special plant lights Supergirl. These lights can give of lots of different kinds of light, like…those of a yellow sun.” Wonder Woman finished.
She had pulled one of the lights over to where Supergirl rested. Then after a few plugs ins, she flipped the on switch. A blast of yellow light came from the darken bulb. Supergirl reacted as if hit by a physical force but then relaxed. Her eyes opened again and she felt stronger. Wonder Woman was relived.
“Wonder Woman, thanks.” Supergirl said she felt much better as the lamps radiation was absorbed into her skin. She managed to pick up her body enough to rest on her elbows. Any effort though to go higher resulted in lots of pain.
“Good, so when you feel better…” Diana started, but was cut off.
“Diana, this is just a temporary fix. I still have only good knows how much poison and kryptonite being pumped by heart through my body. I need the antidote if there is one.” Linda interrupted.
“I can’t tell if there is one. I don’t remember much about my trip down superheroine slave land.” Wonder Woman answered.
“Well, I can’t use this forever. It will only last so…”, then it hit Supergirl, “You don’t know but Ivy does and you’re still her loyal servant.”
Wonder Woman nodded her head.
Poison Ivy was checking the chemicals in her beakers while she cut open another flower to obtain its pollen when Wonder Woman entered. She stood there and Ivy turned to see her superheroine slave.
“Is Supergirl dead?” she asked with hope.
“Yes, master, she has perished thanks to your plan.” Wonder Woman answered in a monotone voice. Wonder Woman saw Ivy jump with glee. She ran over to Diana and wraps her arms around the Amazon’s waist.
“Good job Wonder Woman. I think I should send her cape to Fox, then the boots to MSNBC and finally her leotard to CNN along with pictures of her green corpse. I, Poison Ivy now have Wonder Woman under my control and have done what Luthor, Sapphire, assassins or anyone else was capable of, killing Supergirl.” Ivy’s ego was higher than it ever had been.
“Actually, you’ve done none of those Ivy.” Wonder Woman smirked. The look on Ivy’s face was one for the ages. Seconds later the villainess saw she was bound with the Amazon’s lasso. Everything she had worked for was soon forgotten. She gave Wonder Woman the antidote then was forced to forget everything she had learned about the plant, Supergirl’s and Wonder Woman’s identities and the kiss she made Wonder Woman gave her. She left the villainess tied up in her lab unconscious.
Wonder Woman was back at Supergirl’s side about ten minutes later. The heroine had drunk the antidote plus used some eye wash and was recovering under the sun lamp.
“This stuff tastes like anti-freeze.” Supergirl commented about the antidote.
“Well the worst it tastes the better it works”, Diana offered, “I’m sorry I gave up your secret and nearly killed you.”
“Diana its okay..”
“It’s not okay, Linda. You could have died!” She yelled back.
“And I didn’t. Look I have seen worst, supervillans equal in strength to me, raw chunks of kryptonite used on me, red sun traps, red kryptonite, drugged with kryptonite then gassed? I’ve been through my share traps. Plus, remember I have given you up once or twice.”
Diana nodded at that. Once Supergirl had been attacked by the Cheetah, who used a piece of kryptonite combined with a sodium pentathlon injection to learn wear Wonder Woman lived. Still…
“I feel terrible Linda. Come on let me make it up to you?” Diana asked.
“Well”, Linda thought out loud, “What do you know about the deals between the allies at the end of WWII?”
