Mystery of The Swamp: Part 3
X is saved by a unforeseen ally, and battles Poison Ivy and the hypnotized Swamp Thing.

You awoke from a deep slumber, your body aching, and unable to move your arms.

Your vision cleared, and you were immediately blinded by sunlight that was shining through the crumbling ceiling of the bedroom you were trapped in.

Your attempts of escape were hindered by your hands being tied to the bed with vines, and your powers mysteriously not working.

You tugged at the vines, hoping to break free, but their strength was great.

As you attempted escape, you heard the door open.

When the door was fully opened, it was revealed that Ivy had entered, carrying a tray of food.

Ivy: Good, you're awake.

X: Let me go!

Ivy: After sleeping for two days, you wake up angry?

X: Two days?

Ivy: Yes, you were quite exhausted from our "experience".

X: What do you even want from me anyway?

Ivy put the tray down on the table next to the bed you were tied to, and sat at the side, putting her hand on your cheek.

Ivy: Isn't it obvious? I want someone to snuggle up to on cold nights, to hold me when I'm sad.

X: Swamp face not do it for you?

Ivy: I want a normal man, not a monster.

X: I'm far from normal.

Ivy: Without your powers you are, and as long as my plants have a strain of Kalanite in them, I control when you can use them.

X: That's it, you want a superpowered grunt to do your bidding.

Ivy: And someone to keep me company on cold nights.

X: You're unbelievable.

Ivy: I know, now eat, I don't want you to starve to death, I made it myself.

Ivy left the room.

X: Wait, what is this!?

The tray held a plate of green goo, which you assumed was created from various plants.

You were assessing your escape when a glow emerged from the window.

Through the glow, a figure quietly came through the window, signaling you to remain quiet.

The figure came into view.

Cyborg: You X?

X: No, I'm Kim Kardashian, I'm prepping for my next tape.

Cyborg: Smartass.

X: Just untie me!

Cyborg used a laser to cut you from the grasp of the vines.

Cyborg: Batman sent me, he was worried because your communicator went offline.

You rubbed your soar wrists as Cyborg scanned you.

Cyborg: Why I'm I picking up a mix of semen and plant particles on you?

You put your shirt and jacket back on.

X: She jumped me.

Cyborg: And slept with you?

X: She wants a super powered slave.

Cyborg: That she controls with sex?

X: I don't know! I was to occupied to ask questions.

Cyborg: Ok, that's beside the point anyway, we gotta free Swamp Thing from her control.

X: How?

Cyborg: She can't control him if I put this electro mental reconfigurator on him.

X: What?

Cyborg: Long story short, it cures hypnosis.

X: Oh....

Cyborg: But to cure Swamp Thing, I need you to distract Ivy.

X: A distraction? I have a idea!

Timeskip, Ivy's Lair
Cyborg hid in the shadows as you approached Ivy and Swamp Thing.

Swamp Thing immediately became hostile upon seeing you, but was calmed by Ivy.

Ivy: Calm down, now, how did you escape my vines?

X: I'm more flexible than I look.

Ivy: oh really....

Cyborg snuck up behind Swamp Thing, who was focused on you.

Ivy: So, have you come around?

X: Maybe, what's in it for me if I agree?

Ivy: Power, the strength of nature, and a warm comfort on cold nights....

Cyborg came closer to Swamp Thing.

X: Sound fair, especially the cold nights part.

Ivy: I thought you would like that part.

Cyborg was close enough to attack Swamp Thing, but waited for your signal.

X: There is just one thing I need to tell you....

Ivy snuggled into your chest.

Ivy: What is it, love?

X: LEROY JENKINS!!!!

Ivy: Wha-?

Cyborg jumped onto Swamp Thing's back, putting the device on the back of his head.

As Cyborg wrestled Swamp Thing, you restrained Ivy with a nearby vine.

Ivy: You betrayed me!

X: You hypnotized and slept with me!

Ivy: So!?

X: That's weird!

Cyborg jumped off of Swamp Thing, and activated the device, shocking and subduing him.

Cyborg stood over Swamp Thing, scanning him.

Cyborg: He's okay, just out cold.

You walked up to Cyborg, with Ivy in your arms, tied by vines and pouting.

X: I got Ivy.

Ivy: Screw you and your tin can!

Cyborg: Excuse me?

X: Let's all stay calm.

Cyborg: Fine, let's go.

Cyborg threw Swamp Thing over his shoulder, and you followed him outside, where it was raining.

You covered Ivy with your jacket to guard her from the rain.

Ivy: W-Why would you do that?

X: Even though you hypnotized me and sexed me, that is no excuse to be rude to a lady.

Ivy was perplexed by your response.

Ivy: Uh....thank you, (YN).
