Chapter 37 Break Outs

	Talia and Poison Ivy careened down the road on Talia's motorcycle.
Behind them rode a black mini-van full of Shadow warriors.  Their
destination was the local jail, where they were planning on breaking Percy
Nicolai Gwynn, also known as the Penguin, out of jail.
	"So how long have you known Percy?" Poison Ivy asked.
	"For many years.  He paid us to train him.  He is a very formidable
assassin.  That is why we hired him to kill the Batman.  Unfortunately,
Batman was trained by the Council of Watchers and was able to defeat
Penguin."
	"He has an awesome restaurant," Poison Ivy remarked.
	"They make great salads," Talia replied.

	The door to my cell opened.  I looked up and in walked a teen boy
carrying a bowl of some food.  He kept his eyes from meeting mine.
	"Hello," I said to him.  He did not answer.  "What is your name?"
	"I'm not permitted to talk to you."
	"Why is that?"
	"You will attempt to sway me from choosing this life.  You plan on
hindering my master."
	"Your master, eh?  You mean Ra's Al Ghul?  What is it he gives you
for your service?"
	"His daughter...teaches us.  And we are permitted to live and
help him rule the world when he conquers."
	"His daughter teaches you what?"
	"Many things.  How to fight, how to build, how to make love."
	"She what?!"  I was infuriated.  Talia was having sex with all
these teenage boys!  "She's having sex with you?!"
	"Yes," the boy said with a slight smile.
	"She is using your hormones to control you."
	"It is pleasurable to all of us."
	"Tell me...does she teach you one-on-one, or have more been
present?"
	"There have been several of us with her at one time.  Last time I
was with her, four other boys were with us."
	I should not have asked.  I became very nauseous at this.  My
stomach tightened and turned and churned.  I was becoming angry at and sick
with Talia.  She was nothing more than a slut.
	"Sex is about love, boy.  Sex is about caring."
	"She says she loves and cares about us."
	"She loves what you can do for her.  She does not hesitate to use
what she can to get you to cooperate.  She cares that you can help her and
her father's objectives.  And she cares that she has this power over you.
Next time you are with her, ask her about love."
	"But I already told you..."
	"Next time you see her, tell her the Batman will not hesitate to
put her behind bars for her crimes.  Now be gone."
	The boy turned and left rather quickly.  My eyes must have been
glowing red because I felt intense heat emanating from them.  I knew I
could break out, but I wanted to stay here as long as I could so that I
could learn as much as I could about the psychopaths who were in charge.

	After a few more moments of driving, the group pulled up outside
the jail.  Talia and Poison Ivy dismounted the bike.
	"Nice driving, girl," Poison Ivy complimented.  "Where did you
learn to ride like that?"
	"Here, there, and everywhere.  I've been riding since I was a
teenager."
	"What's the plan now?"
	"We are going to break Penguin out of jail.  That simple."
	"Okay, let me rephrase myself...how are we going to break him out
of jail?"
	"We have our ways."
	The van pulled up behind the motorcycle and the warriors climbed
out carrying bags of equipment.  Everyone moved to the shadows and several
warriors opened their bags.  The contents of the bags were various: grapple
hooks on long ropes, gas grenades, plastic explosives, you name it, and it
was in the bag.
	Several men placed the bags around their shoulders after the
grapple hooks were taken out.  Three threw the hooks up to the top and
everyone ascended them, everyone, that is, except Poison Ivy.  She turned
and walked right in the front door.
	Once Talia and her followers were on the roof, she turned to tell
Ivy something.
	"Where did she go?"

	Poison Ivy walked right into the jail and up to the counter.  There
was a rather buff police officer doing paperwork.  He looked up at her and
smiled.
	"What can I do for you, ma'am?" he said with a silly grin on his
face.
	"I need to see my brother, Percy."
	"I'm sorry, ma'am, but visiting hours are over.  I would ask that
you come back tomorrow during normal visiting hours."
	"But this is important.  It's about mommy and daddy."
	"Hmmm, I don't know.  Percy, huh?  What's his last name?"
	"Gwynn."
	"Let me check to see which block he's in."
	The guard pulled off a clipboard and looked through the names.  "It
seems he's in maximum security.  He's not allowed visitors."
	"Even if it's life or death?  He will be so angry if I don't tell
him about mommy and daddy.  Please, officer..."
	"Bob."
	"Please, officer Bob.  I would do anything to get back there and
talk to Percy.  And I mean anything."  Ivy accentuated the word "anything"
hoping it would stimulate the guard's hormones and blood flow away from his
brain to his nether regions.  Fortunately for her, it worked.
	"Oh...okay.  Follow me.  But you have to be real quiet.  We don't
want to wake up the others that are sleeping."
	"Not a problem, Officer Bob."
	Bob buzzed her through the security door.  From there, he grabbed a
set of keys and she followed him down a long dark corridor until they came
to a darkened jail.
	"This is it, ma'am."
	"Can we have a few minutes along?"
	"Sure.  I'll be right down here.  If he tries anything, just call
out my name and I'll be right there to help."
	"Thank you, Bob.  I owe you so much."  Bob grinned at her.  "How
about a kiss for now?"
	"Uh...okay."
	Bob leaned in and Poison Ivy kissed him hard on the lips.  His face
flushed and we took several steps and fell, unconscious.
	"Oh, Percy," Ivy called into the cell.  "Percy, wake up."  No
response.  "Come on, bird man!  Wake that butt up!"
	"Wh-wh-wha-wha-what?" he called back.
	"Now you sound like a bird!  Get your ass up!  This is a
jailbreak!"
	Percy rushed over to the door, hair askew and eyes barely opened.
"A jailbreak?  Why are you doing it?"
	"I'm working with your employer, Talia.  She should be here in a
few minutes."
	"Where is she?"
	"Taking the sneaky way to get here.  I prefer the more direct
approach.  How do you open this door?"
	"There should be a button down in the jailer's box at the end of
the hall."
	Poison Ivy rushed down and checked.  Moments later she came back.
"They didn't label the buttons.  I'm here to get you out, not the rest of
these two-bit criminals."
	"What are we going to do?"
	Suddenly, a vent opened up in the hallway and two Shadow warriors
dropped down, followed by Talia.
	"Where in the hell have you been?" Talia asked Poison Ivy.
	"I came in through the front.  More direct and not as much effort
as you put in."
	"What did you do to him?"  Talia referred to Officer Bob.
	"Oh, him.  I kissed him.  I put on my knockout lipstick.  He should
be sound asleep for the next two hours."
	"Let's get Percy out."
	"No good.  The switches are not labeled.  We don't to loose all
these loonies, do we?"
	"Of course not," Talia said.  She snapped her fingers and a warrior
went to work on the door.
	Moments later the door is wired to explode.
	"Stand back."
	A switch was thrown and sparks flew from the lock.  Giving a pull,
the door opened and Percy came out.
	"I need to get my things from the supply room.  My weapons and
clothes."
	"Take some of them with you and meet us outside."
	Percy nodded and the group split into two.  Talia, Poison Ivy, and
some of the warriors went up through the vent while Percy and the rest of
the Shadows went down the hall.  Talia and Poison Ivy arrived at Talia's
motorcycle when she turned on Poison Ivy.
	"What in the hell were you doing?  We need to stick together!  You
could have compromised our mission!"
	"Relax.  I knew what I was doing.  Unlike some people I know, I can
use my femininity to get what I want.  I got in before you did and I didn't
have to crawl through some tight ventilation shafts."
	Talia just rolled her eyes at Poison Ivy in response.
	Moments later, Penguin comes out wearing his normal outfit and
hefting his weaponry.
	"Did all go well, Percy?" Talia asked.
	"Of course, my dear.  What's the plan?"
	"We have to spring red's son from his foster home.  Then we meet at
the reservoir."
	"Sounds like fun."
	Penguin and the Shadow warriors climbed into the van.  Talia and
Poison Ivy climbed onto the motorcycle.  The two vehicles zoomed down the
road toward a quiet residential area.
	"Park here," Poison Ivy said as the vehicles come up to an
intersection.
	"Where is your boy?"
	"Close by.  I'll go by myself.  No need for you and your followers
to scare him."
	Poison Ivy winked at Talia and headed for her sons home.  She
couldn't stand the thought of two women taking care of her son.  She
couldn't stand the thought of anyone other than herself taking care of her
son.  And that would soon be changed.
	Quietly she approached the house where her son lived.  She went to
his bedroom window.  It has been smashed out a while ago when Batman had
shown up to stop her.  It was repaired, of course.  But Poison Ivy could
remedy that rather easily.
	Aiming her wrist crossbow, she shoots a line up to his window.  The
rope connected to it was not a rope, but a very strong, genetically created
vine.  She grabbed tight and pulled herself up to the window.  Her son lay
on his bed sleeping restfully.
	Ivy tried the window to see if it would open.  It did not.  It was
locked.  "Damn," she exclaimed.  She pulled out what appeared to be a thorn
and scratched the glass wear the lock was.  Cutting a hole in the glass,
she reached in and unlocked the window.  Quietly, she opened it and climbed
into her son's room.
	The room was calm and quiet.  Toys lay rested on shelves, along
with many books.  Poison Ivy walked over to the shelf and picked up a book.
"Comic books.  Who would believe such a thing, anyway?"
	Poison Ivy, putting the book down, turned to her son.  Tip-toeing
up to him, she moves the hair off his forehead.  "Son...Jack...its
mommy."
	"Mommy?" Jack said sleepily.
	"Yes, mommy.  Its time for us to go."
	"Go?  Go where?"
	"Away from here.  Come on...wake up."
	Jack barely opened his eyes when he realized that the woman
standing in front of him was not his mom.  She may have given birth to him,
but Sheila and Beth have been more mothers than this woman had ever been.
	"Get away from me!" he exclaimed.
	"Sorry, son, to do this."
	Poison Ivy pulled out a bottled and sprayed her son.  Instantly he
was unconscious.  She lifted him up over her shoulders and went to the
window.  Descending the vine carefully, she quickly joined her awaiting
friends.
	"Let's go," Poison Ivy said as she mounted the bike, putting Jack
between her and Talia.
	The caravan of two headed off toward the outskirts of town.  The
wind ripped passed them as they drove down the highway.  Once outside of
town, they exited the highway and turned off on a dirt road.

	"Are you sure about this?" Batgirl asked Robin.
	"Yes.  This is where we were last night."
	The ground rumbled and Batgirl, Robin and Nightwing ducked down
into the bushes as a motorcycle and minivan passed.
	"That was Talia," Robin said.  "I've dealt with her a couple times.
Come on."
	Batgirl and Nightwing follow the young teen down the dirt road.

	Jack woke up to find himself in strange surroundings.  He jumped up
in fear but Poison Ivy, his biological mother, sat and comforted him.
	"Shh, it's okay, Jack."
	"What am I doing here?  Where am I?"
	"You're with me, baby.  Finally, you are with your mother."
	"But Beth and Sheila are my mothers.  They take care of me and feed
me.  They take me to school and the doctor.  They read to me at night and
keep me safe."
	"Now I can do those things, Jack.  I'm your mommy."
	Jack began to shake his head.  Tears came to his eyes.  "No.
You're not my mommy.  You'll never be my mommy!"
	Jack tore away from his mom and ran down the hall.  Poison Ivy
stood to get him, but Ra's Al Ghul entered with Talia.
	"What's going on?" Ra's asked.
	"My son.  He's scared.  I would like to go to him."
	"Not now.  We have work to do."
	"He needs to be calmed down and reassured."
	"He will be fine, Poison Ivy.  He is quite safe here.  Just let him
be.  When he has gained his composure and explored the place, he will not
be so frightened.  You'll see.  Now, come.  We have work to do."
	Ra's Al Ghul, Talia and Poison Ivy exited the room.

	I awoke to hearing footsteps heading in my direction.  I was
surprised that the footfalls did not seem like an adults footsteps.  The
sounded more like a child's.  But why would a child be here in Ra's Al
Ghul's temple?  Perhaps it was a kid who snuck in or fell in.
	"Hello?" I called out.
	The footsteps got closer.
	"Hello?  Is anybody there?"
	The footsteps stopped in front of my door.  Slowly the door creaked
open and Jack, of all children, peeked his head around the corner.
	"Jack?  What are you doing here?"
	"Batman?  What's going on?"
	"I've been kidnapped.  And it looks as if you have been, too.
Fortunately, you escaped before I could.  Could you help me?"
	My need to get information was put on the back burner by the fact
he was taken from his mothers.  His needs and fears took the priority, even
over the entire city.
	"I don't know."
	"I think the keys are over there on the wall."
	Jack turned and saw the keys hanging on the wall.  Grabbing them,
he came over to me and unlocked the locks.
	"Thanks.  We have to get you out of here.  Come on."

To Be Continued...

What do you think so far?  More good stuff to come, I assure you.
