At a criminal hideout, there was a table with seven chairs, A couple of men were seen playing poker, and it was revealed to be the villains who escaped the prison recently.

Joker: I want a nice clean game, gentlemen.

Penguin: That'll be a first. So, I hear 'you-know-who' nailed the Mad Hatter last week.

Joker: No kidding. He sure gets around for one guy.

Two-Face: Yeah, well, that's where you're wrong. I don't think it is one guy.

Scarecrow: Hmm?

Two-Face: The way I figure it out, Jack's got a bunch of them stashed someplace like a SWAT team. He wants you to think it's one guy, but. . . .

Joker: Eh. . . . You're always seeing double.

Penguin: It's obvious our caped friend suffered some crime related trauma when she was younger. Perhaps an over-anxious mother blew off a piece of her face.

Joker: Sure! She could be all gross and disgusting under that mask!. . . Uh, no offence, Harv.

Two-Face: Just deal.

They continued playing and took turns as Croc had a smile on his face and spoke to them.

Croc: Well, you know what I think?

Scarecrow: *Sighs* Not the robot theory again.

Croc: Well, she could be!

Penguin: Shut up, That's clearly a human being.

Croc shrugged as they continued playing. However, they heard heels clicking on the ground as a feminine voice was heard.

???: Hello, boys. Get me an herbal tea and deal with me!

Croc: Scram, lady! This is a private

She kicked Croc off the chair as He grunted in pain, The woman took off her hat and coat, and it was revealed to be Poison Ivy, Croc got angry and tried to attack her but Ivy hit a knee strike as Croc fell on the ground.

Everyone watched with amusement, but Two Face looked annoyed to see her, She sat down, taking her coat off as Harvey spoke to her.

Two-Face: Poison Ivy. . .

Ivy: It's been a long time, Harvey. You're still looking half-way decent.

Two-Face: Half of me wants to strangle you.

Ivy: And what does the other half want?

Two-Face: To hit you with a truck.

Ivy: We used to date.

Joker/Penguin/Scarecrow: Ah.

Penguin: What brings such a dainty dove to this dismal den?

Ivy: Running from the law along with Batwoman and her partner, Of course.

Penguin: Of course.

Joker: *Laughs*
Like-wise.

Two-Face: You got it.

Scarecrow: Interesting.

Croc: Same here. You think one of us would've got 'im by now!

Penguin: I've come the closest!

Ivy: Are you kidding?! I was the one who nearly-

Two-Face: Nobody's come closer to snapping the Batman than me!

Scarecrow: Oh, please! You all talk big and make empty threats, You're no closer to defeating Batwoman and the winter soldier than you were the day you started-

Joker: Blah, Blah, Blah! We all know I was the one that almost broke the bat! The soldier is already broken anyways!

They all started arguing with each other, claiming that they were the ones that almost broke the bat until Joker told everyone to stop as he said something.

Joker: The fact of the matter is, we each have an "Almost Got' Im" Batwoman and the winter soldier story. I know mine's the best, but let's hear yours anyway. I'd say ladies first, but since we don't have any. We'll start with you, Pam.

Pamela smirked as she began recalling that old memory.

Pamela(Narrating): I never faced the bat, It happened last year, September 24. Harv may not like hearing this, but I was just relaxing at my greenhouse right after I heard Harv was poisoned, Everything was fine until Batwoman's lousy partner showed up, trying to get an antidote for Harvey. My babies were about to kill him, but he hurt them instead. . . Now you know how a mother feels when you hurt their children. . . I had a secret plant monster, planted below my greenhouse, for two years. Once my baby rose up, I got inside and tried to kill him. *Grits her teeth* However, He won. . . .

They all stared at her as Joker had a strange question in his head.

Joker: Wait, how did you manage to hide a giant monster under your greenhouse? How is that possible!?

Ivy: I have my ways. The greenhouse is infused with my own plant magic, which allows me to create and contain all sorts of botanical oddities and monstrous creations.

Penguin: So. . . You're telling me you have. . . Magic?

Ivy smiled as her voice darkened.

Ivy: I didn't just create just any magic, I created something truly extraordinary. I injected myself with a special formula, a unique blend of plants and chemicals that amplified my connection to the natural world and gave me powers. Through this serum, I became more than just a person. . . . . I became a vessel for nature's power, able to shape and control it at my will.

She chuckled darkly as everyone stared with amusement, It was silent for a moment before Ivy spoke again

Ivy: And that's how I almost got 'im!

Joker: Eh, could have been better.

Ivy: I'd like to hear you do better!

Joker: Oh, you will, but I'm saving the best for last!

Two-Face: Can't be better than mine!

They all looked at Two Face as He began recalling the memory.

Two Face(Narrating): I was getting revenge from that jerk Rupert Throne, I really wanted to expose him and show him who the real man is. Until the bat and soldier showed up, I was about to kill them right there, no remorse!. . . But they brought up Grace, They manipulated me with her name. . . Otherwise, if they didn't, you would have seen them, laying in the ground with a bullet on their heads.

Joker: Gee, that's two bad, Harv. But I guess you'll always come in second. Does anyone else want to go?

Croc: Me!

They all stared at Croc as He had a huge smile on his face, excited to tell his story as the villians decided to listen to him.

Croc" There I was, hold up in this quarry, when Batwoman and the winter soldier came nosing around. They were gettin' closer, closer. . . .

Scarecrow: And?

Croc: I threw a rock at them!

Ivy: So, Harvey, what ever happened to the penny?

Croc: It was a big rock. . .

Two-Face: They actually let them keep it! *Sighs* Whose deal, is it?

Penguin: Mine.

Cobblepot cleared his throat as he began recalling his story.

Penguin: I almost had it in the bag, I had my eyes on some fancy-schmancy prototype suits that were packed with nanotech and vibranium tech. Can you imagine the kind of power I would've had? My gang would have been unstoppable! But Bat and that Bucky guy just had to ruin it all. To fight them, I was using my umbrellas that were packed with gadgets like gas bombs, grappling hooks, and even hidden knives. We even tried using those high-tech weapons, but of course, They took everyone down and stopped us.

Penguin sighed to himself before speaking in a rough tone.

Penguin: Still, I almost got im!

Joker: Not even close! You see, the thing you're forgetting is that there are all sorts of ways to get someone!

Scarecrow: But you were still thrown to prison.

Joker: Hah! Says you, Potato Sack. You got thrown in the asylum you work at!

Two Face: Alright, Alright. Shut up both of you, Now tell your story, Crane.

Scarecrow chuckled as he was ready to explain his story, The villians were sort of intrigued by everyone's story, They wanted to know Scarecrow's story before hearing Joker's story.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
