Gotham Underground: Prelude to War
Empress Penguin walked into a green house in the Narrows. Like the rest of the district, it had some power. She had left Arnold at Riddler’s warehouse in case Riddler and his friends returned.
She had already sent words ahead to the person she was meeting; Poison Ivy.
“Oh, hello Esmeralda. I’ve prepared some drinks for us.”
Esmeralda smiled warmly, “Pleased to hear. I could use one.” She picked up the glass and took a sip.
“So, what brings you to my little jungle, hmm?”
“I’d like to discuss a...proposition.” Esmeralda responded, taking another sip and setting the drink on the table.
“Oh? And what’s that?” Poison Ivy picked hers up and sipped, relaxing a bit.
“I need some support in an upcoming, how you say, war.”
Ivy looked intrigued, “A war? Against whom?”
“A one Edward Nygma.”
Ivy tensed up a bit, “You know, he and I were once partners during the war against Joker and, well, your father.”
Esmeralda nodded, “So I can’t count on you then?”
“Oh, no no no I didn’t say that. He and I didn’t leave on good terms. I’d be willing to go to war against him.”
Esmeralda smiled a somewhat wicked smile, “So glad to hear it. I’ll inform you when you’re needed.”
Ivy finished off her drink and bit into the cherries, “Looking forward to it, darling.”
As Esmeralda left, Ivy set her drink down and pulled out her cell phone, sending a text to a one Edward Nygma.
