This was stuff out of Ivy's nightmares. She was pinned to the ground with a needle full of a plant killer to her carotid artery. She didn't dare move. She remained frozen. The green remained at bay because she mentally commanded them to stand still.

When the Super Skrull showed up, Ivy's heart leapt into her throat. She swallowed harder still remaining unmoving as the needle pressed harder against her skin. When the monster went to work hurting her husband, she started to scream in terror. Her heart was being shattered as Tsung's injuries were inflicted. She glared through eyes of terror and anger at the Super Skrull. She was prepared for him to do something equally hideous to her. The boop on her nose relieved her but still was intimidating her into compliance.

She knew the Sentinels were moving to take the flowers from the Island. She sent a message to her children there. She carried solitary leaves from them on her body at all times so she could remain in contact with them. Let them take the flowers. Don't try to stop them The last thing she wanted was for her children to be harmed.

On the Island at this same time, the children of Ivy and Shang would offer no resistance to the Sentinels as they took back the Krakoan flowers. They did as Mother commanded.

Ivy knew that if she moved, she was dead. She stayed still as she was picked up from her prone position and carried off to some unknown prison. She hoped that she'd be able to one day see Gotham and Shang's Island again.

Epilogue

After the scene was cleared, another woman appeared. Her long crimson curls were pulled up behind her head in a solo ponytail. She wore a green blouse and slacks under a lab coat. She looked exactly like the woman who was carried away.

The greenhouse looked absolutely unmolested. She stopped her forward progression. The cries of the green reached out to her telepathically. The Pamela Shang of this world had already been taken by the Maker. She was too late. "DAMMIT!" She swore silently.

She didn't have long before he could trace her ion trail here from the time machine she stole from him to hop through the multiverse. She sent a message back to the green here assuring them that their Pamela would come back to them sooner rather than later.

At least she hoped she was right…

Pamela immediately raced back to the time machine. She knew just how evil he was, so she had to keep moving. Maybe she could find his captives and set them free? No… she couldn't do that alone.

It was time to look for help.
