Prologue:

"Just throw her on the floor," she heard before falling to the ground with a harsh thump.
"She should be waking up by now. Try giving her a little nudge."
A sharp pain flared up in Selena Kyle's side from the not so subtle nudge her captor gave her with his boot.
Where the hell am I she thought. Last thing she remembered was climbing back into her apartment before she started feeling dizzy and everything went dark. These guys don't know who they're messing with she mused.
"Leave her alone boys," chimed a seductive voice. "She's far too precious to damage."
Selena knew that voice even with a cloudy head. She stumbled to her upwards and planted her heel clad feet in a battle ready stance. In front of her stood her true captor, clad in nothing but vines which covered her ample breasts and mid section. Leaves and bright flowers adorned her hair her eyes were a striking green.
"Hello, Ivy," Catwoman purred. "You could have just invited me politely. I've always got a little time for Gotham's terrors."
Poison Ivy smiled.
"I know you too well little kitty, but I have a job opportunity for you."
"If it pays well, I'm in."
Ivy leaned towards Selena and gently ran her hands over her leather clad body. She bit her lip and hummed seductively.
"I want you to help me set a trap for the Batman. We're going to take him and his friends out of our way for good!"
Catwoman recoiled. "You're delusional Ivy! I'm not taking part in another half assed scheme to bring down the Bat. It's suicide or another ticket to Arkham."
"Have a little faith my feline friend. We've got help this time. Lot's of it."
"No! Sounds like you have all the help you need already and I don't much like a crowd."
Selena spun on her heel and moved for the exit. As she reached for the door several vines came to life and struck towards her. She ducked and leapt to dodge them and launched into a low roll away from the threat. Her cat-like reflexes kicked in and she quickly flipped back behind Ivy, then leapt for the nearby window. But it was too late.
Snap!!
Thorned vines ensnared all four of her limbs and brought her face to face with her attacker.
"No no no, little kitty," she murmured. "You'll do what I want."
"The fuck I will! Selena spat.
"If you don't...your identity will be revealed to all of Gotham...Miss Kyle. See how far you get once Penguin and Two Face find out who you really are," Ivy threatened with a mischievous grin.
She held up several pictures that were damning evidence. Catwoman's head went limp and she exhaled slowly.
"What do you want me to do?"
Ivy laughed and her eyes glowed with excitement in a terrifying way.
"You're going to be the bait my love."

Chapter 1: Darkest Knight
*****
She ducked under the mugger's fist and slammed her fist into his ribs with a crunch.
"Ahhh," he shouted in agony.
Batgirl swung around behind the criminal and threw him down to the alley floor and clasped a pair of batcuffs on him.
"You're done for!" Batgirl told him triumphantly. "Hope you like the food at GCPD."
"Fuck you, creep."
She cracked her fist against his cheek for good measure before dragging him to the street. She opened a channel on her comlink to GCPD.
"I've got another one for you guys. You can pick him up on the corner of 5th and Main street," she told the Gotham City Police dispatcher.
"Roger that. Thanks again for the assist. We're spread thin tonight."
Just as she was about to respond, her comlink chirped with an incoming priority message. Batgirl opened it to see Batman's cowled face in the holographic display.
"Hey Bruce, what's the emergency?"
"Barbara, I need you to meet me at the Gotham Clocktower right away. We've got a situation."
Her eyes widened beneath her cowl, but she nodded in consent before closing her comlink.
It had been years since Barbara had joined Batman in his crusade to save the city and calls like this were common, but something about Bruce's demeanor was unnerving. Of course, Bruce was always very intense and determined. It was basically his trademark outside of the Batsuit.
Batgirl jumped on her Batcycle and revved it to life. She struck off west towards the clocktower at incredible speed, weaving around traffic and reaching her destination in minutes. She grappled her way to the top and found her trusted leader and companion looking out over the city.
"What took you so long?" Batman said sternly.
"I kept catching all the lights," she responded jokingly.
Batman turned to her and opened up his holographic map of the city. Always straight to the point.
"We've got reports of multiple attacks around the city. It seems that Black Mask has taken over the Ace chemical plant and his goons have taken hostages. On the other hand, there's been several mysterious robberies across the city. Three jewelry stores have been hit already"
"Any idea what our Masked friend is trying to do? Barbara asked.
