I love this PS, may I suggest you adding "story" to your title, or give it a new one... to attract more "readers", who won't think it's my old thread and may say to themselves oh I saw that one already.

The Art! - By Lady Judgement
The Story below....
Lt. Dale Allard lifted his visor and rubbed the bridge of his nose for the third time that hour. He shifted the weight on his tired and sore feet, as he leaned on the wall desperately craving a cigarette. For the past two hours he had been deployed with the Detective Ritter of the Psi division and the Awakened Officer Netterville. There was also "Chuck" but he wasn't nearly as talkative being a Mecha unit. Of the two hour deployment, the SWAT officer had been listening to 90 minutes of debate on ephemeral subjects so far above his paygrade he swore he felt his brain ache.
The rain beating down on the foursome didn't help his aches any as he tried to maintain his vigilant position watching over the Crey warehouse supposedly storing some of those Devouring Earth monsters. The PPD had been tipped off that a villain from the 'Isles was coming here to cause the usual panic and mayhem by releasing the plant monsters. He drew the short straw and was assigned to the Guard duty with the others, not that Chuck cared either way.
The smell of the wet dumpster behind him and the arguing of the two 'enlightened' officers was probably going to drive him to a leave of absence of this stake out took any longer. He lowered his visor again and checked the M-30 he'd had since he was assigned to SWAT. The 'Heroes' of Paragon had their 'Trick Arrows', the joke around the office was he was in the 'Trick Grenade' division. He glanced down the alley again towards the Crey facility as he adjusted his nomex gloves a bit tighter.
He spun quickly bringing his M-30 up as a bottle rolled across the alley behind the four PPD officers. Twenty years of SWAT training and another fifteen on the Force had every instinct in Allard telling him it wasn't just a rat.
"Chuck. Perimeter scan, run thermo."
"Acknowledged." The robotic voice replied as it's eye slits began to glow red. Netterville and Ritter seemed to be bracing themselves to fire in their own unique manner as Allard dropped into a low crouch aiming down the alley.
The tension in the alley was nearly as thick as the beating rain. Muscles were wanting to react as they had so many times before, but the three humanoids waited for the robots scan to finish.
"Negative signs of human or animal life within 15 meters. Probability suggests a 92% chance it was only wind driven."
The two younger officers relaxed for a moment, but the instinct of thirty five years of civic service told the Detective it wasn't just the wind.
"This is an interesting species of ivy. Unusual to see in this area of the city." Netterville mentioned as he approached the brick wall behind the Leiutenant.
"Ivy, there's no ivy on that- oh no," the Grenadier said as he rolled away from the vine that lashed out like a bullwhip, tearing at the skin of the Awakened officer. Netterville screamed as his face was torn by the razor like barbs on the thrashing creeper vine. Ritter began to look around, holding his hands to his temples trying to scan for the controller.
"Poor, poor little meat sacks. So frail and soft, so easy to tear and rend." a voice echoed through the alley. It was both beautiful and haunting as the heavy rain prevented any of them from keying in on the source. "You are in my way, but you will make lovely food for my friends."
Allard jumped away again, the wind knocked out of him as he hit the wall harder than he wanted to, as vines erupted from the ground itself trying to swallow him in some form of green cocoon. The slow moving Heracles robot was not as reactive.
Allard and Ritter watched as the vines began to saw through the metal of its joints, tearing it apart like a petulant child with a hated toy. Nettervilles cries of pain were silenced as a power surge in the robot caused it's main cannon to fire, putting a high energy disruptive burst through the mans chest.
A blur of brown and green motion and the splash of something hitting the puddles in the alley brought the two remaining officers eyes down the dirty street. It was hard to see her through the rain, but it was definately a her. She was tall and leggy with what looked like a thick bark across most of her skin as she walked up the alley with supreme confidence in the outcome of this encounter.
Ritter put his hands to his temples again as Allard brought the M-30 to bear, and the woman laughed. "Silly mammals."
She lifted her hands quicker than the two could react. Vines erupted from her fingers piercing Ritter repeatedly. Lt Allard could hear the wet, meaty thump of the other officer hitting the ground as he pulled the trigger on the M 30. He blinked as the woman laughed when the grenade detonated dead center on her chest barely even charring the bark.
She walked forward the vines entwining him in his moment of shock."Oh you little monkey...you had no idea what you were in for."
Lilith Anderson walked into the Crey Facility laughing loudly as she listened to the man's screams behind her as the vines pierced and crushed the life out of him until there was no other sound but the pounding of the rain.
