"So, you're not mad at me?" She asked, smiling widely, leaning up beside her, arms pushing her breasts together.

"I can't be mad at you for being a woman. I only wish you had come here, I could have helped" Ivy smiled.

She tilted her head to the side, "How?"

"Come" Ivy held her hand and brought her forward, stepping into a massive flower, "Sit."

Ciara followed her nervously, "o-Ok..." She did as she was told and sat down.

Ivy knelt behind her and began massaging her shoulders as a vine crawled around and began rubbing Ciara's stomach gently.

"<3" Ciara relaxed into the vine and Ivy's hands.

The next hour or two was spent with Ivy pampering her back to life.

Ciara smiled, kissed Ivy on the cheek before running off, waving goodbye, "Bye Ivy. Thanks a bunch."
"Oracle, guess who's ready for some action?" She said boldly.

Ivy waved and blew her a kiss.

"Seriously?" Oracle replied, "Wow. Okay. I'll let the boys know"

"Yup, all thanks to Ivy too. Also, why is it that the boys always fight first and talk second?! Seriously, first with Mr. Freeze and then with Ivy. Ivy only freaked out because she was worried about me. If they had simply told her what had happened she won't have freaked out in the first place."

"It probably have something to do with their history" Oracle explained, "that and the fact as soon as Ivy sees those two, she attacks as well. They basically hate each other."

"Huh. Go figure. Well, in any case, I'm all ready to go. What needs to be done?"

((A very good question))

((Hmmmm..... Let's see... her birthday is coming up, Mr. Freeze wanting his blood.... Ciara finding Oracle up in the clock tower... More riddler puzzles))

((To Freeze?))

Making sure the rope ladder was secure, Ciara climbed down the ladder, into the pit that she previously fallen down. She jumped down the last 5 ft into a large pile of snow, "Huh.... So that's how I didn't get so badly hurt... Hmmm... Now which is the right way to Mr. Freeze..." She thought outloud looking around.

After a little bit of wandering around, a secret door opened up into Freeze's lab.

"Good, you've returned" the cold man nodded, "I wasn't sure if you actually planned on keeping your word."

She tilted her head to the side, confused, "Why wouldn't I?...It's the bat buckle isn't it?" She asked covered it up with her hand.

"Not many people are terribly keen on helping me. I generally have to be a little more convincing" Freeze replied, gesturing to the gurney that she had rested on previously, "Take a seat and I will begin the withdraw while you inform me more on this apparent disaster in Gotham."

"Huh. All you're trying to do is help your sick wife... I can't imagine why they wouldn't.. It won't be the blue ski-" Ciara sat down on the gurney and quickly looked away when he pulled out the needle, gripping both the edge of the gurney to keep herself from bolting. 'Don't look, don't look, don't look'

He cleaned her arm and gently inserted the needle and taped in place as the blood began to flow. "they believe I'm insane" Dr. Freeze explained, "I may have made a few... sacrifices, but it's all been for the greater cause. More people than my wife can be saved by this cure. Countless people, yet they won't provide me with what I need. They cut my funding" his hands gripped into fists, "they had given up, they were going to let her die" his fist slammed down on a nearby table, splitting it in two in his anger.

A hand made of water patted his arm, " Well, I don't think you're insane. Sure, you've crossed the line a couple of times but it was all for the sake of saving lives. For helping people. Most people who have the money and power to help others can become greedy and jealous but there's always a few people willing to lean a hand... You just strayed down the wrong path. Everyone makes mistakes, you're not insane because your heart is in the right place and well... If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best. If I ever get out of Gotham, I'm sure my Dads won't mind leaning a hand, after all, more brains are better than one." She smiled, making sure not to look at the needle.

"... that's very kind of you" Freeze replied quietly, "but I work alone." he turned away with a sigh, "now. I believe you were going to tell me what was going on."

"But wouldn't it be a lot quicker to have someone else look over your work every now and then? It never hurts to have a fresh pair of eyes.Then you could be together with your wife sooner..." She pouted and sighed before moving on, "Alright... Well, a couple months ago, there was this huge earthquake which brought Gotham to pretty much ruin. I have come here on a business trip and didn't pack any of my combat suits, so when I rescued Batman from under some rubble, he lent me this," She pointed to the suit. "After about 3 days of putting out fires, and saving people; we learned that the government decided that it wasn't worth the money to help put Gotham back together again. I mean what with all the crazy people like Joker and them wracking the place all the time anyways..."
