Crane sneered.
He had just about enough of this.
The words were like daggers to his heart, each and every one of them piercing him to pieces. Breaking him off slowly.
He backed away from Joker, not wanting to hear any more.
His crow was nearby, watching intently until it decided to perch closer, enraged.
Crane smiled to himself, pulled his hat over his face to cover his, a grinning face clearly seen.
"How imprudent of you, Joker,"
He pulled Barbara closer to him, sensing her discomfort.
Jonathan had a few tricks up his sleeve. Not willing to go down easily.

Black Sheep smiled to herself.
She loved fights.
Instigating them or being the reason of them pleased her.
Chaos.
Ah...
The happiness it brought her.
Barbara exhaled, waiting to see the next move to be brought out on the table.

(( WHAT discomfort? LOL ))
Seeing her smile, Joker simply stated, "I don't know, she seems to think it's ENTIRELY prudent..." He then pushed down on Scarecrow's shoulder before he had backed away out of arm's reach, just for a moment, letting Johnny feel the hundreds of volts course through him, then releasing the pressure just as quickly, allowing the sudden shock to wreak havoc upon Crowboy's body. "You really though you could do better, didn't you? You CAN'T. Because you don't have it in you. You don't have that instinct in you to injure, to kill. I have it, I've excersized that instinct on many before you, Johnny. Jason Todd... Barbara Gordon... Mrs. Gordon... the thousands that I have killed, and the thousands more I have injured, and the still more thousands that I have broken, and you actually belived that you could do better?"

(( xd Yeah, she tries to fake emotions sometimes. Or he's just too ignorant to see. ))
Scarecrow screamed, feeling the volts run throughout his veins. He fell to the ground in pain, breathing heavily, trying to recover from the shock that he was dealt.
He looked up the Joker with pure hatred in his eyes.
Enemies forever until death.

Barbara yelped as she watched him fall to the ground.
She immediately ran after him, making sure he was okay.
"Crowley?"
He was still alive.
Well and breathing.
Just slightly injured, she noted. Nothing he couldn't handle.
Black Sheep stood up and got out of the way before Scarecrow decided to take out his anger on her.
Her eyes went to the Jokers, her expression plain.
Not happy, nor sad.

Joker looked over to Barbara, a mad glam in his eyes. "Should I finish him, Barbie? Your choice..."

She shook her head and frowned.
"No, please don't..."
Barbara went up to Joker and looked him in the eyes, no trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Hm... Very well..." Joker simply reached into his pocket and pulled out a playing card, a Queen of Hearts, and threw it into the portion of Scarecrow's arm that he knew would be protected by the gas dispenser, effectively destroying it. "That's to forever remind you of the one who let you LIVE with this defeat...." The deviant clown then drew another card, a Joker, and threw it into the same spot in his other arm, leaving Scarecrow almost weaponless. "THAT'S to remind you of who DEALT you this defeat..." Finally, Joker grabbed the scythe and snapped it in half, dropping the half that didn't have the blade flat onto his stomach. "...And THAT'S so that you can't stike me until after you get all patched up. You DO want him patched up, yes, Barbie?" He asked her this question sweetly.

She nodded quietly to him, standing closer to the Joker.
She looked at Scarecrow with sad eyes.
It hurt her, but she didn't show it, only to him.
Part of her wanted to see him like this, for giving her the current life she had.
The life of a criminal.
Black Sheep wiped the single tear that fell from her eyes, making sure Joker didn't see nor did Crane.

Scarecrow whimpered, and shuddered in pain. He flinched as he felt the scythe fall on him. It all felt intensified.
He glared at Barbara, looked right through her soul in pure hatred.
A traitor.
Her name suited her well.
Backstabber.
Never would he have thought that she would have turned on him like this.
Jonathan felt like crying. He felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.

"Well, I guess we need you to go to the hospital, then, don't we, Johnny, old chap? You!" Joker said, pointing to a random member of Zephyr's hired help, "Give me your cell phone!"
The man, remembering what the psychopathic clown did to the last person that had been determined as a failure in his eyes, reached into his pockets and gave it to him.
"Thank you, you might live through this night yet..." Joker began dialing a familiar number, and said in a voice that sounded strangely like Crane's own, "Arkham Asylum? This is Professor Johnathan Crane. I've been attacked by the Joker. I... I can't move much of anything... It's a miracle I was able to make this call, a guy stopped to help me... You need to come get me! I'm somewhere on Houchin street. Please, help." Joker then pulled the phone away from the phone before adding in Crane's voice, "You can hang up now..." Joker then hung up the phone and tossed it back to its owner. He brought his voice back to normal. "You and as many others as it takes, take this man outside and lay him on the sidewalk. You," he said, looking at the same man again, "Need to stay with him, as they'll be sure to find out whose phone it was, it will more or less absolve you of guilt in their eyes if you're there. Oh, I'm sorry... one more thing..." Joker stomped on Scarecrow's teeth hard. "Just for the record, everyone, THAT... was to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, like try to turn all of us in when they arrive. My good man, you will say that I made Johnny here turn himself in, and then kicked Crowboy's teeth in afterward." Turning to the man again, the clown, now showing the full extent of his malicious intelligence, continued with, "You may feel free to tell them all this in your own words, of course. If he babbles at all, tell them that he must be delusional from the beating I gave him. Oh, and just tell them that I pulled a 'BANG!' gun on you to make you cooperate, then ran off into the night after it was all done. Got it?"
The man nodded.
"Good. Now, get him outside, immediately, and the rest of you, come back in afterwards!" He turned back to Zephyr and all the guests, and with a sigh, said, "Well, that was fun! Now for the fort!"

Barbara frowned at Scarecrow, and turned her back to him, not wishing to see him in such a state. She turned to Joker.

As the help began to follow his orders, Joker wrapped his arm around Barbara and said, "Come on, Barbie! Let's rejoin the festivities!"

((GAH! I missed so much! Lets turn this up a notch, enter the Nowhere Mansion! That's right, taking it to another dimension! ...just for now...))
"EVERYONE STOP!" Zephyr yelled out, making the room grow dark with unseen things.
"I was sort of spaced out there for a minute, but now that I'm back, better late than never." With a frown on her face, the hired help started to look around and shrink back. They hadn't seen it, but they had heard warnings of the things she dealt with.
They ran for the doors, but the doors slammed shut, a darkness spreading over the walls and doors and windows until the room was entirely different.
"You do know of my natural security measures, don't you?" She asked, crossing her arms as her teeth sharpened and her eyes began to glow red. A swirling mass of shadows filled with twisting images began to form around her, and when she spoke their were whispers of other voices underlining hers.
"This," She half hissed, "Was supposed to be FUN." She glared at the Joker as she said it.
"Fun for everyone who came, or at the very least safe less I deemed otherwise." She turned a finger pointed sharp at the Scarecrow now.
"HE was one of the guests at the top of my list, and this was to be safe for him in the very least."
Creatures started to gurgle and form from the floor and ceiling and walls, the hired help let out screams and ran to the middle of the room, but the creatures responded to their fear and picked them off one by one. As each one was dragged into the walls, a new human figure slid out in their place, but these were anything but human. They jittered and jerked and shook, as if they couldn't control their own limbs, but they very much could. Their skin was fused together to offer no details, like smooth muscle an off color of flesh. Zephyr simply frowned.
"See what you've done? Now I have to find myself new hired help after this..."

Barbara leaped into the Joker's arms as she saw the weird creatures appear. (( Lol Kinda Scooby Doo like. xd ))
She looked at Scarecrow, who seemed to be in a light state of consciousness.
"W-WHAT IS THAT THING?!"
Barbara hated to admit it, but deep inside of her, she was a afraid of the unknown.
A coward sometimes.
Fear was something she always exposed to, but not something she could ever get used to.
Was it her nerves from being around Crane all this time leaving it's forever lingering effect on her, or was it just simply the awkward-like creatures who had no control of themselves?
She buried her face in Joker's chest, daring not to look back.
