╚══════════════╝ "Never did like pigs." Jason stated, following behind d**k and re-sheathing his guns. The threat from Nightwing was cute and expected as well as the righteous tone. Back to normalcy thought the anti-hero as they sprint inside the gates of Arkham. As they darted inside fully, Jason came to a full halt when he heard the chilling voice of the ever-so-calm, Dr. Hugo Strange. "I believe now is the time, Mr. Crane." said Strange just as the two vigilantes ran up to stand alongside their mentor and Catwoman. "That doesn't sound good." he commented looking between the trio and Stange.

"I believe now is the time, Mr. Crane."
That was his cue, and Professor Crane wasted no time in enacting his sinister plot. The Scarecrow had been hidden within the confines of the room this whole time, waiting for the word from Doctor Strange to strike. Darting from a dark corner Crane leapt in front of the group of heroes, fear toxin already spraying from beneath his sleeves into the faces of the squad of vigilantes. The toxin would slowly begin to asphyxiate - forcing them to see and hear things that weren't there, making them see each other as things they truly were not.
If he had brewed his toxin correctly, the heroes would hopefully see each other as hostiles and force them to engage each other so as to provide Hugo and Scarecrow with a quick escape... what was next for Arkham was not something anybody would want to be around for.
Crane watched his experiments cough and writhe, his dead pale blue eyes glistening with sadistic satisfaction from behind his burlap mask. He wished he could see what they were seeing, what it was the fearless were afraid of. That, however, was a lesson for another time. Shall we be leaving, Professor? Scarecrow asked, the voice modulator within his mask creating an almost ear splitting distortion as he began to step around the heroes.

╚══════════════╝ The arrival of both Nightwing and Red Hood was expected, although a little earlier would have always been nice. They could have made it a group effort to apprehend the mindless drone that was Catwoman before Batman was able to dispatch the circlet. Nonetheless,
the four of them could end this right here taking Hugo off of the chess board in the entirety of this chaotic game that Ra's had started. "Enough games, Strange. For you, it ends here. Then I'm coming for Ra's." His threats fell on deaf ears as Hugo merely ignored him, toning him out to finally say: "I believe now is the time, Mr. Crane." The sudden command put Batman on edge, immediately removing a counter measure to Crane's usual antics and placing it over his mouth, the grooves from the device and his cowl aligning perfectly.
Not a moment sooner would Crane leap from seemingly out of nowhere,
spraying forth the dangerous Fear Toxin that was nothing to play around with. The orange-brown like cloud smothered the four vigilantes and while the toxin's effects would soon take hold of the majority, he at least hoped the three of them had some sort of countermeasure. Taking hold of the left end of his cape, Batman swung it forth allowing a powerful wind to blow away the residual toxin. Hugo and Crane were nowhere in sight although that was the least of his worries. Looking over his shoulder, he noticed the others beginning to see false images of their deepest and darkest fears, turning the people closest to them into dark and nightmarish figures. Batman remembered firsthand his original encounter with the gas, recalling one of his childhood fears that brought him to choose the bat as his terror inducing persona.
Batman turned around completely, putting some distance between himself and the others just in case they were no longer in their right mind.

╚══════════════╝ "Pft, and to think they say the helmet is just a fashion statement." Jason cheekily commented upon seeing the brown colored mist as it began to expel into their current atmosphere. With the press of a finger on the side of his red helmet, fresh oxygen started feeling his helm, preventing the outside's contamination from affecting him. Red Hood was practically a villain himself at one point before becoming an anti-hero. So, in his tenure he was always prepared to face off with the likes of Crane or any other sicko with a gimmick. It is how he took down Black Mask during his reappearance. Looking over to his comrades, he wondered how many others were prepared. He knew Batman would be but Nightwing and the Cat were to be determined. He looked over at Nightwing, hoping he wasn't under the gas' effects. "Please tell me you're feeling alright, Circus boy."

╚══════════════╝ Before he could even get a word out to see what had been their situation, he was hit in the face with Crane’s toxin. Not having enough time to counter the attack, he jerked his head back to avoid inhaling any more of it. At first he didn’t feel anything at all as if it hadn't effected him , then it hit him like a truck. The bodies of unconscious inmates appeared to him something different, something horrifying. Batman, Robin, and Catwoman laid there mangled on the ground, was this real? From the gas he saw Batman, Red Hood, and Catwoman as intimidating creatures. Something that had came out of a horror movie. Where the hell had Jason disappeared to? There was no time to ask. ”What have you done to them?! What the hell are you?!” He yelled at the three of them hysterically, echoing through the halls of the institution. By the way he was acting, it was a fitting place to be. The gas had also caused him to act aggresive. Without hesitation he had whipped out his escrima sticks, gripping onto them as he went in for his assault. His first two targets were Red Hood, and Catwoman. They were the smaller two out of the three, tossing his escrima sticks at the both of them as a distraction. Take out the biggest one first was always his mind set, they were usually the most dangerous of the group. Flipping through the halls of the asylum, he went for Bruce. Performing a somersault kick, if it had connected he would go after the other two next.

╚══════════════╝ The typically unflappable Catwoman had been having one hell of a day. Over the last 48 hours she’d been exposed to countless doses of the terror inducing toxin. The circumstances of her capture had terrorized her already. When she saw the gas emanating toward her again, she screamed pre-emptively and covered her mouth and nose with her hands, holding her breath, desperate to keep from breathing in another unavoidable dose of the terrible drug that had mauled her system since her capture. How much could one body take? But of course, she had to breathe sometime. It was only a matter of time before she had to come up for air.
She glimpsed across the fog and saw Nightwing take the brunt of a gust of toxin and come unglued. It happened so quickly there was hardly time to think about what had even happened before she saw she’d become a target of his misguided assault. As one of his escrima sticks went somersaulting through the air at her, she raised her hands to block it from hitting her face. With some pain, it was successfully deflected, but as she did so, she gasped in a breath of the toxin and the entire world around her turned into a funhouse of terrors. Half-skeleton monsters with flesh rotting from the bones were now engaged in combat with a giant terrifying bat. It was back down the rabbit hole for Selina. She dropped to her knees amid the fray.

╚══════════════╝ "Guess that answers my question." Jason retorted to the now oncoming Nightwing. He didn't really feel like engaging the leotard hero--but seeing as the option was null void--he didn't really have a choice one way or the other. He side-stepped the oncoming escrima with relative ease then glanced over to Selina with a hopeful look underneath his helm only to quickly find the familiarity of disappointment. All thanks to Grayson. Ironic as d**k was now the one going for lethal maneuvers albeit out of his mind while attempting so. "Tell me you and that belt of wonders have an antidote hid away. Cause I'm fresh out of sedatives." Whilst he waited on a reply from the Dark Knight, he returned his gaze back on Catwoman and Nightwing. "Better make it quick too. Here they come." Red Hood stood prepared to take both on if need be while Batman handled the one(s) responsible. But as mentioned, an antidote didn't hurt either if it was on his person currently.

╚══════════════╝ Given that he trained d**k several years ago, he was able to anticipate his moves from a mile away. Coupled with the fact that he was dosed with a heavy amount of Fear Gas,
the noticeable differences to his attacks were drastic and that was putting it mildly. With Jason at his side to double down on the reminder for a cure to the fear, he was too late, unaware of Nightwing's quick kick to Batman's chest sending him flying onto the ground. He'd roll over onto his feet, slamming his fist into the ground as he rose up ready to fight back and make him listen to reason. "Scarecrow keeps updating his fear toxin concoction. Doesn't stop me from working my way around it. Hold Catwoman off while I administer the cure to Nightwing." Physically he felt considerably weaker after fending off attack after attack during his fight with Catwoman. Her unrelenting nature put him on the fence and she nearly almost had him until he had begun utilizing his shock gloves.
Taking advantage of the time Nightwing had to turn around, Batman removed his bat claw from his utility belt before firing it forth to latch onto the back of Nightwing's suit. Grabbing closest part of the line, he'd yank it back and if successful would also pull d**k back in the process. With the little time that he had, Batman also took out an injection device along with a singular vial of white liquid.
He'd throw an extra to Jason to administer to Selina. He couldn't imagine whatever horrors he might be facing, only reassured by the fact that his antidote should calm him down and expel the hallucinations he currently suffers from. Batman knelt down over Nightwing trying to pin him to the floor with his forearm while he took the device up to the neck, releasing it's contents into his bloodstream to counteract the toxin

╚══════════════╝ Batman gave the orders and Jason followed them without a quip in sight. Up until he saw the look in Selina's eyes. There was no point in attempting to reason with her. She was a lost cause to the fear toxin's effects. He'd never really been dosed often by it but the few times he was under it's toxic spell, it did a number on him. Forcibly regurgitating events from the past. His messy childhood, having to fight for scraps on the streets. He couldn't imagine what Catwoman was going through. She'd probably had just about enough of this stuff by now too considering she was only recently released from it's grip on her mind. Jason caught the vile of white liquid and made eyes with Selina. She was on her knees now, and Jason tip toed his way to her slowly with the vile hidden behind his back. He used his free hand to try and grab her shoulder only to aggressively be pushed back. That's when the claws came out, literally. He quickly backed up and dodged the first slash playing defense. "Come on. Aren't you immune to this stuff by now? Save us both the trouble, kitty." he said, preparing to move out of the spot he stood in now. Selina was agile in combat and someone he preferred not to get into a scuffle with. Her fighting style was unpredictable but precise. Making it harder for him to get close without facing the consequences. But he needed to suck it up in order to inject her. At this time, she bounded toward him and he stayed in one spot counting and watching as her shadow covered the ground she leapt over. Now. Just before she landed and pounced on his face, he'd cross his arms in an 'x' formation and allow her to topple him. In his shielded arms he held the vile and quickly injected her as she swiped away at his guarded forearms. Until he was sure this worked, Jason would keep himself protected.

╚══════════════╝ She had yelped allowed as the needle stabbed her, but as soon as the dose of antidote from Jason’s nimble hand began coursing through her bloodstream, the feral cat within Selina subsided. The terror she felt dissolved away. She shuddered as a cold sensation worked its way down her shoulders and released her from the hellish grasp of the toxin.
She stopped clawing and leaned forward against her opponent. She collapsed atop Jason like a sack of potatoes and panted for breath. She was weakened from the night’s battery of physical stresses. She rolled off of him and took inventory of what was now happening.
“Thanks, kid. Sorry about that.”

╚══════════════╝ Once his kick connected to Batman’s chest, he had flipped back a few feet away, jerking his body around to face his former mentor. The horrifying image continued to cloud his vision on who he was truly fighting. It had stationed itself as if it was calculating its next move. Batman's weapon appeared as if the creature's arm had elongated. The bat like creature’s arm extended towards him. Gripping onto his suit having complete control of the situation, in his other hand it held onto a white substance contained in a small vial. What the hell was that? He didn't have the time to figure out what it was, nor did he want to know what it was capable of. The creature had made its move once the vigilante had come in contact, whipping him to the ground like a rag doll. Once he was pinned by the bat, he struggled enough to take out a taser that was almost used earlier in the night. But it was too late, the white liquid was injected into him. It was over, the nightmare was over. The symptoms that came with them were also gone, the images that he had once thought was reality had vanished. Batman stood above him with his arm restraining him to the ground. Examining the area, seeing that it had only been unconscious inmates that covered the floors. A small sigh of relief came out before finally speaking. ”Oh thank God. I thought something happened to you all. I’m sorry. I should’ve known better. Thank you.” After his small speech on why he had acted the way he had, he once again spoke. But this time in a jokingly manner. ”You can release me now, I should be good. Also, I would prefer not to lay on the floors of Arkham anymore. I don’t think they’ve cleaned it for a while.” A small smirk emerged on his face, releasing the taser out of his hand to show that he was no longer under the symptoms of the fear toxin.

It wasn't long after the Scarecrow's fear toxin wore off that the voice of Edward Nygma would once again begin booming through the comms of Arkham Asylum.
There is bomb on top of a computer, around the computer are a Bat, Cat, and some birds...
When the explosion comes, which item will be destroyed first?
The Riddler gave them all a brief moment to internalize what he had just said, however left not a moment pass before he continued. If you guessed the bomb, you'd be correct... speaking of which.
With those words, the bombs began to detonate around the asylum; dozens of explosions sounding all throughout the compound as they rapidly made their way to the location of the Bat family. if they didn't think quick, they'd all be left nothing but charred corpses and ash beneath the structure of the Asylum.

╚══════════════╝ "You were too slow." Said the Bat, his voice void of any care that his first protege was mentally okay after a full frontal dose of the sickly orange colored toxin. In truth, Batman knew well that he couldn't say much considering the fact that he failed to dodge a simple attack. Nonetheless, d**k wasn't prepared for Scarecrow's sneak attack although one would think otherwise with all the times Crane pulled a stunt like that. The most Batman would do in the moment was offer him a hand so that he would rise onto his feet. Lucky for them, Jason had cured Selina as well most likely with minimal effort at that. He'd not to each of them accordingly,
an eerie silence filling the hall as he turned his attention on the hall that Strange and Crane escaped down. "They couldn't have gotten far. We should keep mo-," Just before Batman could finish,
Riddler spoke right on time over Arkham's speaker system.
There is bomb on top of a computer, around the computer are a Bat, Cat, and some birds...
When the explosion comes, which item will be destroyed first?
A feeling of uneasiness swept over the man as explosions erupted and sounded from the opposite end of Arkham all the way to a closer vicinity that appeared as though a bomb went off right around the corner. "We need to leave. Now!" Batman motioned for them to follow his lead hopefully leading the three of them to an exit before they were blown to smithereens and topped by the rubble. Some and debris began to fill the hallways forcing Batman to think quickly and strategically to dodge,
bob, and weave through the thick of it all. Through the darkened shroud,
Batman could make out a dead end towards the front of the hall they ran through. Taking hold of an explosive batarang between two of his fingers,
he'd toss it forth and upon impact would send the wall crumbling outward revealing nothing but more fire and smoke on the outside. Despite this, Batman leaped out landing into a roll on fresh ground, immediately looking back up to see if the others made it out safely.

╚══════════════╝ "Stating the obvious in your old age." Jason said knowing full well his comment would go ignored. Especially since they now faced more pressing matters. Like a bomb in an asylum. And the worst part of all this? Is that this had been a normal night for the vigilantes of Gotham albeit the whole city being leveled was somewhat a new one. "These idiots do know they were betrayed, right? I mean Ra's can't be that good? Getting these loose screws to off themselves and us? I, for one think they've been sniffing a little more than just Crane's fear toxin." Jason yelled over the ongoing explosions as he followed suit shortly after Batman, sliding on the floor while the cloud of black smoke covered them to safety. Out now, he too looked back for Nightwing and Catwoman.

╚══════════════╝ Finally back on his feet from the hallucinations he had experienced, he stood beside the rest of the group. He could hear the disappointment in Bruce’s voice. Which caused him to think to himself that he had to be more careful, his mistakes could cost them all Damian's life and Gotham. Making a remark to everyone. ”Can this night get any worse?” Explosions started to take out the asylum. They all had a good few seconds to get out before the whole thing had come down on them. Trailing right behind Jason, with Bruce leading the way to the exit. Dodging incoming debris as it came crashing down. As more of the waste continued to fall, it had blocked his path from being clear. Focusing on Jason, he followed his lead and had slid under the small opening that had been given to them. Once he was finally out with Batman and Red Hood, he spoke in a relieved tone. ”I just had to open my big mouth, didn’t I?” Giving them a small smirk from their accomplishment, he had started to do a headcount. Bruce and Jason were accounted for. Jerking his head behind to see if Selina had successfully made it out. Hopefully she had recovered quick enough to make it out.
