Pamela Isely Poison Ivy

Pamela Isely used her index finger to push her glasses comfortably back onto the bridge of her nose. It was 8:00 in the morning and a sunny Saturday in June and Pamela was busy at work in a lab almost on the outskirts of Gotham City, a fact most people would have found strange. Of course, most people weren’t working for the Genetics Paragon Group on their project “Better Earth.” Well it was really the project of Wayne Enterprises since they provided the funding. But that was beside the point. What's more, working erratic hours allowed the unassuming Dr. Isely an alibi for her other business. Not to mention working on her own afforded the young woman opportunities actually working with her coworkers would not. For example: stealing technology from GPG and scoffing at the project she was supposed to be working on. Silently, she stood from the stool she had been sitting on to cross the lab floor, the heels of her shoes clicking as she walked and her hands busy pulling her red, curly hair into a ponytail and clipping it against the back of her head. Her small mouth pulled into a frown as a realization came upon her. Pretty soon GPG might have to have another break in, a precaution her alter ego took for her so that when the stolen technology cropped up outside the project it didn’t get traced back to someone within the company.
The precaution was, unfortunately, both necessary and nerve-wracking. Once it happened, detectives and police would swarm the place to investigate. For the next week or so afterwards, Dr. Pamela Isely lived in the shadow of the fear that she would be discovered. Discovered and subsequently revealed to be one of Gotham’s most infamous femme fatales, Poison Ivy. Each time worried her a little bit more than the last, afraid she would finally mess up and leave some clue. The lab had been broken into twice just this past month and the police were always baffled when nothing of consequence seemed to be missing. Of course May had been a busy month for her and most of the break-ins were chalked up to young hoodlums trying to cause a ruckus. After all, the project wasn't anything any real criminal could possibly want or use. That's what made it so perfect. She sat back down at her stool now, taking a moment to straighten out her deep green pencil skirt and the white blouse underneath the matching cropped vest. Nothing spectacular, just something work appropriate. Soon she found her mind wandering. Wandering back to the rainy night before when she had received the strange offer. An offer to band forces with other criminals to get rid of the Batman once and for all.
Naturally, the thought of working with other people made her cringe slightly. But their common goal was tempting none the less. The redhead propped her chin on her hand, her elbow on the desk below her, contemplating the offer no one knew she had been extended.
