《The Gotham Ghost King》You Missed
Advertisement
The plants shot out of the ground, tearing up the dirt and grass as they rushed towards their targets.
Rex Angeli grabbed Ghost King by the waist and jumped into the sky, taking both of them off the ground to escape.
The plants lifted themselves up and lashed through the air like whips, until one of them caught on Ghost's ankle.
The vines grew up his uninjured leg, pulling him out of Red's grasp.
He slammed into the ground with a loud crack, vines continuing to wrap around him as he groaned in pain.
Rex looked at Ghost and lifted his staff off of his back as he continued to fly higher. In his hands, the staff morphed, curving back into a longbow.
As he drew the bow, a golden-fletcher arrow appeared, already nocked and ready to be fired.
He took a deep breath as his wings forced him down, slowly came back up and released.
The arrow flew straight, lodging itself into the tree above her head.
She smirked. "You missed."
Two more arrows came flying towards her, embedding themselves by her feet.
"I. Don't. Miss." The winged hero said, his bow reverting to a staff and the arrows lighting up.
Strands of light shot out of the arrows, weaving themselves into a net, immobilizing her and rendering her powers useless.
Taking one final shot, and arrow grazed her ear, drawing a single drop of blood that fell to the ground slowly.
"Good fight. You might want to go take care of your little king. He got pretty injured. After I restore this park again, I'll release these ones. You're earned your win. Feel free to call for the Ivy if you need a poison."
The arrows and net dissolved, and the vines retreated into the ground slowly. Rex picked up the body of his ghost and flew off, careful to not shift him all that much, as the Bat Family watched in awe.

"Who are these people?" Red Hood asked.
"I'm not sure" replied Dick.
Batman looked at Poison Ivy for a moment.
"Whoever they are, we need to be cautious. They have unmatched power and nothing binding them to the laws. We must hope that they remain on our side, or we shall all fall."

—————...Author's Note...—————
I didn't mean for Nico to get hurt. I don't even know when that happened. Though after about 20 rewrites, I'm finally happy with this.
Thank you all for the support that you gave me when I was messing around with this, and yes, I know that Poison Ivy is acting quite out of character.
