"Fine, if it will get you off fy fack afout it."
Scarecrow lifted his hat up with his left hand and removed his mask with his right, revealing his burnt face. The out layering of skin was gone to a point that his lips were burnt off, explaining why he had a speech impediment. The pain was a constant and Scarecrow didn't bother to take pain killers to hide it; the pain was a reminder of revenge against Iron Man and War Machine. Scarecrow couldn't even grin create facial expressions anymore due to his deformity, always having the same look of some undead looking monster.
"As you can see, it is true, I got a little scarred from a fight, fut I eferged a different ferson for it. Now, I want a little refenge against Iron Fan and Warfachine, not to kill thef, fut to fake thef ish they fere nefer forn."
Scarecrow wanted to make Iron Man and War Machine wish they had never tangled with Scarecrow, a plan to kill every employee at Stark Industries; no Fear Toxin, just death and destruction. This plan wasn't an experiment, it was an orchestra of revenge that Scarecrow wanted to complete that would have the benefit of earning him the necessary power source for the Terror Machine as a bonus.

Joker almost sighed in relief; so Batman WASN'T responsible for it. Good, that meant he didn't have to do something they'd BOTH regret, like REALLY kill the Bat. Sidekicks and friends will still work for now. Joker saw Reaper and Rosie approach, and saw Rosie's expression towards Gossamer. "HEY!" he shouted at the girl, "Don't look at your mother like that! I'M the bad influence here!" Turning to Gossamer, the clown said, "I don't hink she approves of me very much... Oh, well." The Clown Prince of Crime turned back to Scarecrow and said, "Iron Man and War Machine, eh? AND we get to break and enter a large business... Well, first things first, my new friends and I are about to eat, we can discuss it as a group at the table. By the way, Hush might be in this new Universe as well, and I'm sure you remember his skill in plastic surgery. If he can fix Harvey Dent's face to the point that only a single inch-long scar is all that's left of Two-Face, he can fix you up, as well. Last I heard, he was locked up in Arkham. I'm sure you want to use the burns as a reminder of your defeat at their hands, but I assure you, if I know you at all, you don't need ANY help remembering."

((Enter from warehouse))  Pixie huffed and puffed then finally caught up with her friends. Well, sort of friends. Scarecrow stood nearby talking about revenge over some people named Iron Man and War Machine. As she got closer the mind reader could see Scarecrow's entire plan in her head and she smirked. it really was brilliant. Standing next to Reaper Pixie looked at him, then gossamer, then joker. She always tended to do that when she arrived places and wanted an explanation. Sure she could read their minds. But it was more fun to demand an answer.

 Rosie jumped slightly and turned towards Joker when he yelled at her. Her eyes were a bit big, as if she hadn't expected anyone else to have seen her or to yell at her. Gossamer smirked a bit and turned to the Joker again. "Don't worry, I'll have a little talk with her later. She might just be upset that she's not getting much attention at the moment." she replied.

Reaper smiled a bit, then looked over to Pixi as she approached them. He seen the look on her face and smirked a bit. "This guy arrived, wanting help for revenge," he said, pointing towards Scarecrow. "..interrupting their little kiss," he continued, pointing towards Joker and Gossamer. "..which Rosie here didn't seem to like." he finished, looking down at the little girl. "Basically all you missed."

"Oh good, so I didn't miss much." She said with a smirk, "Ooh, they kissed?" She asked after a quick mental double take. "Harrleey's gooingg too bee piissseeedd." She mocked in a improv sort of song. Not that she really cared about Harley and Joker's relationship. Honestly she thought that the female jester was an annoying pest. Her eyes flickered back to Crane. He hadn't changed, always the same deal with him. "So what sort of help do you want Mister Crane?" She asked in the innocent voice she used with strangers.

"We'll discuss it as a group, Pixie, over ribs," Joker said. "Now, let us enter..." Bringing Gossamer along with him, Joker walked in the restaurant, with much the same effect as the last place of business he entered. Everyone looked to see who walked in, and immediately panic spread throughout the clientelle. This was Gotham City, and no people on Earth knew what he was capable of quite like the people of Gotham. He drew out a pistol from his suit jacket, and said, "All people who don't work here, feel free to leave. All employees, stay." Every person not wearing a uniform took the opportunity to flee, but the last person leaving, took a bullet in the back of his skull from the Joker, his brain spraying out from his forehead. The bullet, as it exited, also embedded itself in the arm of the next person in front of him. This message was all that the employees needed, and they all stayed right where they stood. The psychotic clown looked around and said, "We need service. Good service, fast service, for six, of Scarecrow joins us." Without waiting for anyone to seat them, Joker walked up to a table that would suit them all that wasn't covered in plates, and offered Gossamer a seat. At the same time, he aimed with his pistol and shot the maitre'd in the chest, saying, "I believe it was HIS job to seat us, not mine..." He set the pistol on the table, and turned his head to face Gossamer again, smiling.

Gossamer grinned as they entered the restaurant and walked up to a table. She walked up to the seat that Joker offered and gave him a smile as she sat down. " My, you certainly know how to clear a room." she grinned. Rosie jumped a bit as she heard the gunshot and watched as the man fell. She gripped the back of Reaper's outfit and followed in behind him.

Joker sat down next to her, smiling back. "Thank you, it's a gift. Well, it could also be the fact that my reputation was started, built, and proven time and again in this very city, but, oh, well..." Joker signalled for a waiter to come, to which one swiftly answered the call. Joker looked out the door and called out, "Don't be shy! The food won't kill you! Heh heh heh..." The laughing lunatic then said to the waiter absently that the whole thing was to be on one check, then said to Gossamer, "And what do you want?"

"Aww... how come you get to kill everyone!?" Pixie whined huffing after Rosie who grabbed onto Reaper's clothes. "I want in on the action sometime!" she started to sit down but something caught her eye. A knife sat on a table nearby and her gaze shifted from it, to a young waiter whose thoughts were about escaping through a backdoor in the kitchen....

Joker saw the glint in Pixie's eyes, and simply said, "Pixie, we're here for food. Don't kill anyone unless you have to. Or unless you just feel like it." he turned back to Gossamer, saying, "Well?" He smiled.

Scarecrow entered a few minutes after them and took a seat somewhere away from the group, at least a few feet away. He planned to speak to them after they were done their meal since Scarecrow himself was quite hungry. Joker had seemed to make his own group for once instead of just being part of some other group and that meant it would be far easier to pull off the job Scarecrow had in mind. Since Joker was a mass slaughter kind of guy that was what Scarecrow needed to make sure no one survived who were inside the Stark Industries building and that the power source for the Terror Machine was acquired. If the plan worked and if Joker agreed, all of New York would be covered in Scarecrow's Fear Toxin and at the same time people taking Scarecrow's No Fear drug would be immune to it, creating destruction out of a few well conceived chemicals. That reminded Scarecrow to add another part of his plans just in case since he didn't know if Joker's team all had immunity to chemical toxins; Scarecrow knew Joker did, but he wasn't sure if the ladies or that other guy did. Luckily, Scarecrow would supply gas masks just in case no one in the group was immune to gas.
Scarecrow needed to wait for his order since the waiters were too distracted with Joker's gang, so Scarecrow kept looking over the menu for food easy to eat for one such as himself. Eating had become a difficulty too due to his injuries since Scarecrow had no lips to keep his food in while chewing; so he had to either eat with his head up or eat something that didn't need to be chewed. Really, the whole burnt flesh thing was becoming more of a annoyance and a chore at the same time. Scarecrow just decided to have a drink with a straw with ice cream to sooth his throat.

Joker saw Scarecrow sitting away from the group and called out to him, "Crowboy! You can sit with us! It's not like were a group of super-villains headed by a murderous, criminally-insane, psychopathic clown or anything! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Turning to the waiter, the clown said, "Hold on a second, I think she's deciding... Just stay put a moment."

"Well, no harf I suffose."
Scarecrow got up and decided to sit by Pixie because Scarecrow didn’t feel comfortable hanging around that other guy and Pixie had the right idea for action; this whole restaurant deal was just wasted time that Stark employees could be burning on a stick or stabbed through the heart and not only that, Scarecrow wanted the technology used for the Iron Man and War Machine suits. If Scarecrow had those schematics, he would be prepared to fight both of them again, so he made sure to add that to his mental check list if this job was ever going to start. Scarecrow got a chair from a different table and set it at the end of the table more closer to Pixie then to the other guy; he had an aura coming off him Scarecrow didn't like, but at the same time respected. Scarecrow mostly kept in the middle at the end of the table and placed his order on paper since he assumed the waiter would be too scared to really understand what he was asking for.
((Enter Greed from the Batcave.))
Greed had recently cashed in all of the money he had stolen into a Swiss bank account both in this universe and in his own; if Aleksei was ever stuck in one or ended up in the other, he would be living the high life. Currently, Aleksei’s suit had transformed itself into a gentleman's suit fit for someone doing important business, but tonight Aleksei was just going out to eat. During his time in Gotham, Aleksei had already started hiring people to invest his stolen money in stock, having enough to not worry about losses or how much he gained. Greed had made Aleksei a very wealthy and now stunningly smart business man, though it came at a price; Aleksei’s sanity was constantly rising and lowering randomly to points that he invested in a company that parachutes that looked like famous presidents.
Aleksei decided to stop at one restaurant that really caught his fancy since it seemed to be almost completely empty if you were standing at the front door and Aleksei was feeling like being his own restaurant today. The first thing Aleksei would do was increase the size of the entrance since he was still Rhino sized even with his Greed Outfit tucked away as a black tuxedo. Aleksei stepped in walking with his cane and surveyed the place, noticing a single group of individuals and one caught his eye out of the whole: the Joker. Back when Aleksei was Rhino, Joker had hired him to kill Batgirl, but Rhino had failed by being captured by the Eastern Bloc. Aleksei doubted the Joker would notice Aleksei without his Rhino costume, but he came up to the group anyway, standing before them leaning on his ridiculously strong cane. Aleksei wasn't trying to look like anyone he knew, but he was no Kingpin since he both had hair and wasn't a walking bowling ball, though he was quite huge still. Without his Rhino suit, Aleksei looked like a respectful person of business and that was how he wanted to keep it outside of his Greed business.
"Long time no see, Joker."

Gossamer went over the menu while everyone else was getting settled in. Outlaw Ribeye...Firecracker Chicken Wraps...she wasn't really familiar with the food here. She thought for a moment, then glanced back at the waiter, giving him a small grin. "I'll take anything hot or spicey." she replied. "And I'm just a tad picky with my food. So if you have more than one thing on the menue that's spicey, I'd bring them all out. You'll have a better chance of making something I like." she said sweetly. Rosie slid into the seat next to Reaper and looked through the menu. Nothing really caught her attention, so she flipped to where she thought the kids menu would be. Meh, she'd wait a while before deciding.
