American Comics: Today's Big News

The spider sensed an extremely strong threat, but the Green of All Things felt a surge of... hormones.

The two abilities produced opposite results within Connors. Seeing that Batman was about to recover from the illusion and defeat Scarecrow, Connors quickly made his escape.

"No, no, no..."

If Connors hadn't allowed the scarecrow to release toxic gas at the concert, potentially causing a stampede and panic involving tens of thousands of people, he certainly would have turned a blind eye.

He's just a bystander, not a savior; he only helped out when he had the chance.

The stadium was covered in solid ice, and there were nearly 10,000 spectators watching the concert inside. He decided to go and see for himself.

Batman easily escaped the illusion created by the Scarecrow's "fear gas".

As for subduing a Scarecrow that wasn't particularly strong, Batman easily took it down.

However, he didn't smile despite easily manipulating the scarecrow. Instead, he watched as the weeds growing along the cracks in the ground spelled out a sentence:

"Quickly thank me."

Poison Ivy wouldn't do such a thing; among the other people in Gotham who can manipulate plants and have this kind of mentality, Connors is the only one left.

"If he hadn't acted in time, the sight of the entire stadium filled with fear gas would have been a disaster. Strictly speaking, he wasn't that bad, was he?"

Alfred, the butler, spoke with a smile over the walkie-talkie.

"Even so, I'm going to visit Poison Ivy tonight to see if she knows anything about this Connors... He may not become an ally, but Gotham City doesn't need any more villains."

Batman said in a deep voice.

"That's a pity. We haven't been able to contact Poison Ivy, and my surveillance footage just showed that she has left Gotham Forest and entered this city."

"I'll say this with feigned regret," said the butler, Alfred, before asking:

"So, shall we continue with dinner with the superstar Xuexi tonight?"

Seeing that Bruce Wayne remained silent, the butler picked up the phone and began arranging dates between the playboy and the female celebrity.

Batman launches a grappling hook, one end connecting to the Batplane overhead and the other to Scarecrow, allowing Alfred to pilot the Batplane away to take Scarecrow away.

The tanker truck left behind was filled with terrifying gas, and Batman arranged for his butler to secretly move it to his Batcave.

He then ran quickly toward the stadium, where thermal imaging showed it was cold; he had to get there quickly.

As for Poison Ivy, he couldn't contact her, and he couldn't possibly search for her everywhere. Since the real identity of this celebrity singer named Xuexi was a superhero, then having dinner together wouldn't hurt.

Batman thought to himself.

……

"...You seem to enjoy being tied up, huh?"

Connors looked at the star singer Xuexi, who was being tied up in yet another variety of ways, and found it amusing.

"Waaaaah..."

Xuexi was both angry and annoyed, but she couldn't speak. Green had appeared on her face, and plants began to grow strangely all over her body.

After using the frost to escape the spider silk bindings, she realized that her ten thousand spectators in the stadium were in danger, and decisively used solid ice to seal them off.

However, during the lockdown, the surrounding plants inevitably froze, so before she could even begin her plan to return to the stage to stabilize the scene, she was bound by a ghostly woman who could control plants.

"Ivy, if you kill her, I'll never hear such a beautiful voice again."

Harley Quinn had contact with Poison Ivy while in Arkham Asylum, and thanks to Harley Quinn's intervention, Poison Ivy did not kill her.

In Xuexi's eyes, Poison Ivy leaned in and kissed her in a very, very strange way before quickly leaving with Harley Quinn.

She wanted to continue using her frost powers to break free, but only after Poison Ivy left did she realize that her body was becoming increasingly out of control, and then Connors arrived.

With a wave of his hand, Connors loosened the vines and caught Yuki as she fell from the sky, having already gained a general understanding of her situation.

With its face covered in green and covered in grass, it's definitely a case of encountering Poison Ivy.

Having the same "Green of All Things" as Poison Ivy, Connors naturally knew how to save Sheki.

"Judging by your appearance, you won't live long—"

Confident that he could save her, Connors wasn't in a hurry and deliberately tried to scare Xuexi.

His prank worked. Xuexi, who was glamorous and confident on stage, heard these words and was unable to move her body or use her abilities. She was so frightened that her pupils dilated and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

"I can save you, but the way I do it will be a little unusual. If you agree, blink three times in a row."

When Connors saw that the big star was about to cry, he quickly stopped teasing her. After he finished speaking, he saw the other party blink her big eyes with long eyelashes three times without any hesitation.

Having obtained the other party's consent, Connors no longer hesitated, held the stiff and immobile Xuexi in his arms, and then lowered his head to kiss her.

The fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth...

But Connors was careless.

It's true that Poison Ivy left a virus in Yuki's body, and Connors was indeed able to undo it, but the residual hormones caused things to spiral out of control.

After a kiss, Xuexi's body recovered quickly. Her skin became smooth and supple again, her red lips were tender and luscious, and her body was no longer stiff but incredibly soft.

—At the same time, his whole body began to feel incredibly hot.

Poison Ivy's hormones are still at work.

"No...!"

Connors sighed inwardly and waved his hand, causing the abnormally growing plants left behind by Poison Ivy to combine into a small, solid wooden cabin.

Inside the wooden cabin was a large bed made of soft straw mats.

This was a rooftop not far from the stadium, with even taller buildings nearby. Connors only had time to manipulate the plants to complete all of this before his clothes were torn to shreds by Xuexi.

……

"Young Master Wayne, based on body analysis, one of the people in this room is the celebrity singer you were supposed to date tonight—oh, I'll cancel the date right now."

The butler suppressed a laugh as he spoke into the walkie-talkie: Batman had searched the area for a long time and finally found something unusual, only to be met with this unexpected scene.

Bruce Wayne sighed, his keen hearing allowing him to hear the red lips that should have been used to sing beautiful songs now making a sucking sound, before turning and jumping off the building.

The search for Poison Ivy cannot be delayed any longer!
