It could start with Percy feeling a strange disturbance in nature while he's near a forest. As he investigates, he comes across Poison Ivy who is tending to her plants. She immediately attacks him, thinking he's there to harm her precious greenery. Percy has to quickly defend himself and tries to explain that he's just there because he sensed something off in nature. This encounter sets the stage for their further interactions, whether they become friends or foes.
The story might begin with Poison Ivy being magically transported to Camp Half - Blood. The demigods are all on high alert as they've never seen a being like her before. Percy steps forward to communicate with her. He's initially cautious but also curious. Poison Ivy is disoriented and angry at being in this strange new place. She starts to use her powers to create a protective barrier of plants around herself, and Percy has to find a way to break through that barrier, both physically and metaphorically, to start a conversation with her.
A possible start could be that the Oracle at Camp Half - Blood gives Percy a prophecy that involves a 'green - haired woman with the power of the plants'. Percy doesn't understand it at first, but then while on a mission in a big city, he sees Poison Ivy in action. He decides to follow her and see what she's up to. Poison Ivy notices him following her and tries to lose him. This cat - and - mouse chase in the city streets could be the opening sequence of the fanfiction, leading to their first real encounter and the start of their intertwined story.
