STARLIGHT ( can you give me the fame? )CAN YOU TELL ME THE GAME, OH STARLIGHT?
Stormy had taken a few days, but finally called Detective Bullock earlier today and invited he and his partner, Detective Valentine, over to look around if they so pleased.
By the time she would hear the knock at her door she was listening to music but had left the door unlocked. She was up on top of a bookshelf that she somehow managed to climb up to. Within the last few days she had found her father's collection of vinyl, cds, and everything else in between. The turntable spun steadily pumping the sound of rather impressive house music. Some of the vinyl looked newer and her father must have been into a bit of dubstep at some point. A Supermen Lovers album.
Stormy was going through the top shelf of the bookshelf looking through her father's documents and notes, looking for any clue as to what the hell he might have known when he approached Bullock two years ago. She heard the door open and leaned her head into the doorway directly past the front door to see who it was.
Sitting next to her on top of the bookshelf was a stack of papers and notebooks as well as a bottle of one of the wines she found in the cellar. She didn't know much about wine, but it all smelled really good.
She was wearing black pants, a white t-shirt with the sleeves cut off and a pair of white socks with a black pair of converse shoes.
"'s open, Detective!"

He tried the door, and open it was. He shook his head and sighed to himself as he entered. He wasn't sure she knew the danger she was really in, but then again, he didn't know exactly what she could do, other than leap to another car at high speed and subdue 2 grown armed men..big men without much of a scratch on her.
He shut the door behind him and the click of the lock followed. He took his time getting to the music library looking the house over as he walked by, but didn't touch anything.
"Nice house. Seems cozy."
He turned and entered the room she was in and raised a brow at the music collection.
"Geez, that's a ton o' tunes."
He held up a bag from the local burger joint and held a tray of 2 drinks in his hand.
"Wasn't sure you'd be hungry n' it's along drive out here so, I got extra."
He looked around and saw a chair underneath a stack of LPs. He sat the food and drink down and relocated them before sitting himself and reaching into the bag for a burger.
"So, how's things, kid?"

Stormy waved to the detective as he walked in. The smell of the burger was like the smell of temptation. She hadn't had a burger in years. She was fed a strict and balanced diet when she was in Luthor's facility. She eyed the bag like it was full of jewels. She jumped off the bookshelf, it wobbled slightly but stayed in place. She had made sure to cork the wine and hop down with it.
She cleared away some of the LPs back on a shelf nearby so they could sit at the breakfast table and set stuff down on it. They were half way through their burgers when the record player went silent. She walked over to the turntable, lifting the needle and taking out the record then putting it back in it's rightful sleeve. She flipped through a few more LPs and was about to put a different on when she felt something under in the sleeve. She removed the record, placing it on the turntable, and then emptied the sleeve and found a CD under inside labeled "Project Eve." She picked it up and looked at it. She grabbed her burger and showed it to the detective before moving toward a computer in the corner of the room and inserting it in the disk drive.
"I don't know what this is, I never seen it before."
Stormy nearly got impatient as the computer's DVD drive was loading the disc, Once it finally began rolling she could see footage of her cell in Luthor's facility. It was only a couple of years old. Stormy was out. Suddenly a cold voice came over speakers saying "Commence survival mode in 5..4..3..2..1."
A gas billowed into her cell, waking her up in a few moments. She would look confused at first, screaming out questions asking what was going on and then once the gas seemed to clear her eyes were glowing green and she was pummeling her fist into the glass. It started to crack. She screamed in a furious rage, running away from it and then charging back at it. Her shoulder broke through the glass and the scientists voices were freaking out with phrases like "better results than estimated," "emergency shut down," and "no-no-no! You do not have authorization! Keep subject Eve alive!"
Soon the screen would fuzz out, giving off the idea that something must have gone awry with the camera feed. After a moment of silence Stormy continued staring at the screen. When she would once again turn her gaze to Bullock her eyes were burning like Green Lantern's light.
"I remember that day. I almost busted out."

When The Batman had gone missing, crime rose to all time levels. His known enemies ran rampant, nearly unchallenged. The Batman's team did their best, and managed to get crime down some but it was still at an all time high level. The PD was running 24/7 exhausted and facing cutbacks due to the city's dropping economy largely due to the crime wave.
He'd been thinking about getting involved in a rather questionable organization that he'd left a few years ago, but he wasn't sure what he could do. Stormy's arrival brought his idea back, and he'd been pondering it off and on.
The video was alarming. there was obviously more to this young woman than he knew. If he proceeded, and was accepted back in, he could possibly persuade her into joining. Maybe. He smirked to himself. yeah right, like Waller would allow him back in. He still was curious.
"What...exactly can you do?"
He was leaning forward looking at the monitor then looked back at her.

Stormy looked away for a moment, grabbing her burger as she did and taking a few more bites as she seemed to be looking around the house for something. She turned to him, taking another bite of her burger and walking over to grab her soda to take a drink of it. She seemed unsure about what to say. She looked around the kitchen for a moment and then finally sat in the seat opposite of him, setting the burger down and taking a gulp of the soda.
"Alright, look, I don't want this going into a... police report or something."
Stormy put a hand through her hair, taking the rubber band out of it, letting it all fall to her shoulders. Her eyes had settled for a moment, but then began to burn bright green when she looked back to him again.
"My father had been working on a project for Luthor called Project Adam and Eve. The goal of the project was to take genetic material from a guy called Bane and a woman called Posion Ivy and combine specific abilities and attributes of each and bestow them upon the subject. I was Subject Eve, their goal with me, specifically was to equip me with the strength of Bane, without the use for tubes or something, I don't know much about either of them and some of Ivy's powers. The strength seems pretty straight forward, but the pheromone thing, or whatever they called it, has been harder to deal with. I don't understand it all that well."
Stormy seemed to show a tinge of embarrassment when she spoke of her trouble with the pheromone release. She looked down for a moment, taking a sip of her soda.
"You know anything about them, Bane and Posion Ivy, I mean?"

He blinked a moment upon hearing that she had the combined powers of those two. He took a long sip of his drink, suddenly wishing it was a lot stronger.
"Uh yeah."
He stood up and ran his fingers through his hair, he'd removed his fedora when he entered the house.
"Uh, you might wanna sit down kid."
He was pacing the room as memory of the 2 came back to him, and the times he'd dealt with them, and most importantly what he'd heard.
"Okay, look, most o'dis is hearsay. I've only seen them a couple a' stimes and most of those been after Bats had his dealin's with them so they were out cold."
He loosened his tie and took a deep breath and explained to her what he knew of Bane and his strength augmented by Venom, and the tubes. That he was a ruthless mob boss in Gotham and takes by force whatever he wants....brutal force.
Then he told her of Pamela Isely, Poison ivy and her abilities to control and engineer intelligent plants as well as her intoxicating poison kiss, and most specifically her pheromones, which enabled her to bend any man and most women to her will. She'd even nabbed Superman once he told her.
He sat back down and looked at the monitor again shaking his head.
"Whatever Luthor was planning was big, and I have no idea if it was a military contract or personal. Hopefully your father had more info on dat."

Stormy listened to him, intently. She nodded when he talked about Bane and the venom. She pointed to Bullock when he mentioned it and said, in rush "yeah! I got venom in my blood now, apparently. And check this out, I just figured this out the other day!"
The sun was still out, it was summer, so it took longer to go down. She grabbed her knife off the table and slashed her hand open. It definitely looked like it had something else in it, it was not crimson red, but a darker color. She went to an open window and held her hand in the sunlight. It took a moment but quickly the wound was healing. She pulled it away from the sunlight and showed it to Bullock. It was fully healed without so much as a scar.
Then he started talking about Ivy and specifically her pheromone ability. She blushed a bit when he mentioned that Ivy could bend men and even women to her will. Her eyes grew dull and started to seep purple from the corners. Her pheromones would release mildly. If they were to affect Bullock in anyway it would merely cause him to become relaxed and probably a bit moon eyed. Of course, she was not aware that this was happening.
"Poison kiss? That's brutal. I don't think I have that, but I haven't been compelled to kiss anyone, ever."
Again, she was embarrassed. The Detective seemed like a man that had more than city miles on him. He was Gotham. The thought of bending men to her will embarrassed her more than it excited her, however the image of the guy in the band at that bar the other night crossed her mind. Her eyes went full on purple. It was a pleasant thought, but now the memory of the man buying her the drink and her seeming to be the center of attention at that place was all making sense now.
Her pheromone production increased. Now, if the Detective was being affected, he would still feel relaxed, but more affectionate for Stormy. It affected different people in different ways.
"I'm surprised Detective Valentine isn't with you right now. She seems like a nice lady."
Stormy stifled the chuckle she almost had, remembering hearing Valentine stomp on his foot a few nights ago when he snuck a glance at the woman's legs.

He shrugged when she asked about Valentine.
"Eh, she had 'nother investigation t' look into. Always busy at the GCPD, kid."
He was amazed at her healing but not surprised that the sunlight did it. He was fairly sure that was something Ivy could do. When she started releasing her pheromones at ease he did begin to feel. He had been needing a drink. He drained his drink from the burger joint took off the lid, dumped the ice and grabbed the bottle of wine and poured himself a drink.
He started looking looking lazily at Stormy and felt pulled by her. he followed the imaginary rope and sat beside her. He smiled and leaned in slightly as she seemed to transform into his new gf and partner Lt. Valentine.
"Hey, doll. When'd you come in? We alone?"
He gave her a wink and leaned in closer.

Stormy gave the detective the strangest look for a moment. She caught the glow of her purple eyes on the detective's badge. Her eyes quickly burned green again and her pheromones came to a screeching halt. She put a firm hand on the detective's shoulder and pushed it so his back would sit back on the chair's backing once again.
"I see what you mean now, detective. Sorry, didn't mean to do that, I had thought about someone and I suppose it had an effect on you. I need to not let my mind wander to... guys."
Stormy got up and went looking through the LPs. She felt bad, she would have punched the detective if she hadn't realized that her own influence had come over him. He also seemed to talk to her like she was someone else. She then wondered that if he indeed thought she was someone else for a moment. Maybe he had thought of someone, too. Probably his partner and her legs.
Stormy let out a chuckle and then quickly stifled the rest of it. She was looking through her father's LPs.
"That disc had been inside of that LP on the table, maybe my dad left some more hidden away in here, Detective Bullock!"
She sat between two stacks on the floor and then began quickly going through them, being careful not to damage any of them.

He looked more into the album the CD was in and a couple flash drives fell out. He put them in her computer and watched them. They were more surveillance recordings of her. They appeared to be backups of the security footage. It would take some time to watch them, but even the smallest clue may be of some help.
He also helped her look through the stacks of music but often found himself looking more at the discography of them than for clues. her father had an impressive and extensive collection.

They watched more of the security footage. They seemed to be different feeds of different tests. Most of them of her strength. One in particular came up when they attempted to induce her pheromone release. They kept showing her random pictures of random people, attempting to find something that would cause her to feel something. It was obvious from the footage she was hardened, this looked like it was from about four years ago.
As the images rolled on they were showing her tons of different people. She was shackled to the floor and the chains on her looked like they weighed a ton. The chains links were about a quarter of the sixe of her whole torso. the shackles around her legs and wrists had weights on them to hinder her movement more. Some helmet looking contraption was on her head with tons of wires attached to it. They had used it to keep monitor of her brain, monitoring the amount of electrical impulses.
Finally an image of Zorro came across, her eyes began seeping purple. It had been so long since she had seen an image of him, it was a heartwarming image as well as one that intrigued her. As she was older now she had urges and suddenly Zorro was this thing that had a bit of an effect on her.
She tried to reach toward it, and she was able to lift the weight of the chain to do so, but it was tightened by an unknown force from below the floor. She growled, angered, and ripped it up some, nearly breaking it, but it pulled very hard and make her go straight to the floor. A bit of blood came from her mouth and she spit out a tooth. Suddenly in a flurry of anger, she exploded from her feet and broke the chains on her wrists. Scientists could be heard commenting that they would need to find better ways to restrain her for these tests.
Stormy turned the video off and shook her head before going through more LPs
"I don't want to watch anymore."

He had brought a box with him to put any thing they found into. The DVD and Flash drives went in. Harvey kept looking through the records and picked up a boxed collection and furrowed his brow.
"Hrm."
He opened it and inside was a thick folder. Bullock started looking through it and smirked. It seemed to be many formula equations all well over his head but he knew math and chemical symbols when he saw them. There were also logs of past subjects and photos, and a couple more DVDs.
He took the folder out of the record box to put it in his evidence collection and something fell out. It was a sealed envelope with the words 'Stormy' written on it.
He picked it up and gave it to her.
"I think yer old man left you somethin'."

Stormy looked at the envelope taking it from the detective when he handed it to her. She looked at it curiously and turned the envelope over. It was sealed with a wax stamp, her father had always sealed little notes for her with a wax stamp for her to find around the house when she was a kid. It could have easily been one she hadn't found before she was abducted, but given that it was in a box of science, it probably wasn't.
Stormy broke the wax steel and pulled a piece of paper impeccably folded to fit in the envelope. Her father had elegant handwriting, unlike many scientists he would boast when she was a child.
The letter inside would read:
Stormy looked back over the letter. A tear fell from her eye and she quickly wiped it away as she neatly folded the letter again and put it back into the envelope. She looked at the envelope for a moment, stubbornly wiping away another tear. She put the envelope on the table.
"I do begin to have bloody thoughts. Act IV, Scene I." Stormy said simply.

Harvey cleared his throat, pretty sure it was a deep letter. He uncomfortably scratched his neck and looked around. He was sure she'd like a moment alone and he had a good bit of evidence to go through already. He finished off his burger and the last of the wine in his cup and put on his hat.
He picked up his box and looked to her.
"I'm sure you need some time t' yer thoughts. If y' see anythin' else y'know where we are."
He started towards the door and paused then turned back around.
"It was a bad thing that happened t' ya but, you have a gift. If y'feel like y'wanna make a real difference, let me know, but don't call me 'bout it at GCPD."
He nodded over to where he was sitting. A card lay there.
"Take care n' we'll keep in touch."
He made his way out and was soon in his car heading back to Gotham.
