American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 014

Spider-Sense detected an extreme threat, but the Green sensed abundant…hormones.

The two abilities showed opposite results within Connors. Connors watched as Batman was about to recover from the hallucination and defeat Scarecrow, so he quickly slipped away first.

“No, no, no…”

If Scarecrow had been allowed to release the gas at the concert, it could have caused a stampede and panic among tens of thousands of people. Connors would definitely have ignored it.

But if the cost of his gossip was the injury of innocent people, Connors would rather not have it. After all, doing so would make him a thorough villain, and he would inevitably be chased by Batman.

At the stadium, a large amount of solid ice covered it. Nearly ten thousand spectators were watching the concert inside, and he decided to go and see what was happening.

Batman didn’t expend much effort to break free from the illusion created by Scarecrow’s “Fear Gas.”

As for subduing Scarecrow, who wasn’t very strong himself, Batman easily took him down.

However, he didn’t smile despite easily apprehending Scarecrow. Instead, he looked at the weeds growing out of the ground cracks, spelling out a sentence:

“Thank me quickly.”

Poison Ivy wouldn’t do such a thing. The only other person in Gotham who could control plants and had such a mood was Connors.

“If he hadn’t acted in time, the Fear Gas filling an entire stadium would have been a disaster. Strictly speaking, he’s not bad, is he?”

In the walkie-talkie, Alfred, the butler, said with a smile.

“Even so, I’ll visit Poison Ivy tonight to see if she knows about this Connors’ background… He might not become a partner, but Gotham City doesn’t need so many villains anymore.”

Batman said in a low voice.

“That’s a pity. Poison Ivy hasn’t been contacted, and my surveillance just showed that Poison Ivy has left Gotham Forest and entered the city.”

Alfred, the butler, said regretfully, then continued to ask:

“So, is the dinner with the big star Xuexi still on tonight?”

Seeing Bruce Wayne remain silent, the butler picked up the phone on his own and began to arrange the date between playboy Master Wayne and the female star.

Batman fired his grappling hook, one end connected to the Batwing above, and the other tied to Scarecrow, letting Alfred control the Batwing to take Scarecrow away.

The tanker left behind was full of Fear Gas, and Batman also arranged for the butler to secretly transfer it to his Batcave.

Then he quickly ran towards the stadium. His heat vision showed it was freezing there, and he had to go and check it out quickly.

As for Poison Ivy being unreachable, he couldn’t search everywhere. Since this singer named Xuexi was a superhero in disguise, having dinner with her was fine.

Batman thought to himself.

…

“…You really like being tied up, huh?”

Connors looked at the singer Xuexi, who was tied up in a new elaborate way, and chuckled.

“Wuwuwu…”

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

After escaping the spider silk binding using her ice powers, she realized that her ten thousand audience members in the stadium were in danger and decisively sealed them with solid ice.

However, during the sealing process, the surrounding plants were inevitably frozen along with them. So, her plan to return to the stage and stabilize the situation hadn’t even begun when she was tied up by a ghostly woman who could control plants.

“Ivy, if you kill her, I won’t be able to hear such beautiful singing anymore.”

Harley Quinn had contact with Poison Ivy, Ivy, in Arkham Asylum. With her intervention, Poison Ivy didn’t kill her.

It was just that in Xuexi’s eyes, after very, very strangely leaning in and kissing her, Poison Ivy quickly left with Harley Quinn.

She tried to use her ice powers to untie herself, but only after Poison Ivy left did she realize her body was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and then Connors arrived.

Waving his hand to loosen the vines, Connors caught Xuexi as she fell from the air, already having a general understanding of her situation.

This appearance, with a green face and grass growing on her body, was 100% due to an encounter with Poison Ivy.

Possessing the same “Green” as Poison Ivy, Connors naturally knew how to save Xuexi.

“Looking at you like this, you won’t live long—”

With the confidence to save her, Connors wasn’t in a hurry and deliberately tried to scare Xuexi.

His prank indeed worked. The glamorous and confident Xuexi on stage, hearing these words, plus her inability to move and her powers being unusable, immediately widened her pupils in fright, tears almost welling up.

“I can save you, but the way I save you will be a bit special. If you agree, just blink three times.”

Connors, seeing the big star about to cry, quickly stopped teasing her. After he spoke, he saw her big eyes with long eyelashes blink three times, without the slightest hesitation.

Having received her consent, Connors no longer hesitated. He held the stiff and immobile Xuexi in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Lingering fragrance on his lips…

But Connors was careless.

The virus Poison Ivy left in Xuexi’s body was indeed a virus, and Connors could indeed undo it, but the residual hormones made things develop in an uncontrollable direction.

After one kiss, Xuexi’s body recovered rapidly, her skin became smooth and tender again, her red lips were delicate and inviting, and her body was no longer stiff but incredibly soft.

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

Poison Ivy’s hormones were still at work.

“No…”

Connors sighed in his heart, waving his hand to make the unnaturally growing plants left by Poison Ivy form a tightly sealed small wooden house.

Inside the wooden house was a large bed made of soft grass mats.

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

…

“Master Wayne, according to body analysis, one of the people in this room is the star singer you were supposed to date tonight—oh, I’ll cancel the date right away.”

The butler said with a suppressed laugh into the walkie-talkie. Batman had searched around for a long time and finally found something unusual, but he didn’t expect it to be such a scene.

Bruce Wayne sighed. His keen hearing could hear the red lips, which should have been emitting beautiful singing, now making the sound of sucking something. He turned and jumped off the building, leaving.

The search for Poison Ivy could not be delayed any longer!
