“You'll never be able to prove I did it.”
“Prove you did what, Poison Ivy?”
She whirled about in shock, green eyes going wide at the sight of the figure walking on the lower platform.  His suit hissed as it expelled frosty air, and his red eyes narrowed in slight irritation.
Oh.” She said in delayed shock.  “It's you.  I thought Batman had already found me.”
“No.” Mr. Freeze answered flatly.
“Well, clearly that is evident.  Do you care to explain to me what you're doing here?  I found this place first, and I'm hiding out here, so unless you clear out, iceberg...”
His slitted eyes narrowed even further.
“I'm passing through.  I have no desire to waste time and energy freezing Joker's brainless idiots, and I'm not in the mood for a fight.”
“Well that's too bad, popsicle boy.” She purred, leaping down to his level.  “Because I'm not feeling generous right now, and you caught me at a bad time.”
He rolled his eyes, crossing his arms in irritation.
“Anything you can grow, I can kill.”  He declared.  She gave him a false pout, lowering the hand she had been on the verge of raising to signal her thick vines from the basement.
“You would give my babies frostbite?”
“If I am forced to, I will.  I would prefer to just leave quietly.”
“There is nothing, Freeze,” she hissed, “That you could do that will make me back d—“
He extended a clenched fist, which he slowly opened, palm up, to reveal a small flower of the most pure white that had ever been seen in Gotham.  Poison Ivy stifled a small gasp.
“A peace offering.” Mr. Freeze said gently.
“Is that...edelweiss?” She whispered.
“The blossom,” he replied, “Of snow.”
He placed the tiny flower in her upturned hands, then took a step back.  She looked down at it for a long moment, then looked back up and gave him a begrudging smile.
“You're not so bad after all, are you, big man?”
She could have sworn the ice just below his eyes darkened for a second, but he immediately swept past her and exited the building through the door at the other end of the room, the blast of icy wind vanishing behind him.  Ivy grinned, tucking the edelweiss behind her ear fondly.
I've actually gotten quite a few requests for this since I drew the above preview image, especially since people want to see how the hell this pairing can actually work. If you didn't read all the words in this deviation's title, allow me to reiterate...

THIS PAIRING IS PURE CRACK ONLY, AND I WROTE IT FOR THE LOLZ.

Seriously, I'm a huge Fries-Nora shipper and I always have been. I watched "Heart Of Ice" when I was five and I remember sobbing for close to two hours afterward because I couldn't handle or stand the fact that Mr. Freeze couldn't be with the wife he was trying to save. And ever since then, I've always been incredibly defensive about him and Nora, to the point I can get a little nasty about it with anyone and everyone, including some of my close friends who are more lenient about shipping with taken married characters. TB-verse I'll loosen up a little, if only because Nora is referenced non-verbally as being his girlfriend and there is nothing to suggest afterwards in the series that he would be paired with anyone. And even then, I'm really picky about shipping with him, because Mr. Freeze has a very special spot in my heart that no other Batman villain has been able to accomplish. But the idea of cross-canon-crack-shipping him with BtAS Poison Ivy I'll let up on, because that just provides too many hilarious mental images. BtAS Poison Ivy uses seduction to her advantage, and TB Freeze shows signs of being flustered a bit more easily than most other canon versions of the character, so I can see her unsettling him a lot.

That was unexpectedly sweet!

I enjoyed how you write Freeze. Not typically a villain I'd rank as a favorite, you managed to make him rather handsome. And I grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series, every day after school, and Poison Ivy was one of my favorite characters in it, so I am fond of this version of Nora. Never thought of pairing them together (but I'm not much into pairings and shipping, you probably noticed) but you made it seem believable, so much so I wouldn't mind seeing you explore their possible relationship further. XD
