"The water supply has been contaminated with a version of the fear toxin, a two part compound that only activates through........being vaporized." A look of realization dawned upon Bruce's face. "The stolen weapon, now this compound they've been pouring into the water supply...it has to be connected."<br/><br/>= Deep within the abandoned mining tunnels =<br/><br/>"He's here....." Scarecrow hissed to the armed thugs. "Who?"<br/><br/>"The Batman..and his two friends..." Scarecrow whispered.<br/><br/>"What do we do?" Another thug with an uzi asked<br/><br/>"What anyone does with a nosy pest...you kill it." Scarecrow said.<br/><br/>Batman had informed them of what Alfred found via analyzing the fingerprints of Scarecrow taken off Batman's suit. He had been recently fired from his job as a Gotham U therapist for doing cruel fear experiments on students.<br/><br/>Batman threw a flashbang to blind the thugs and began knocking them out one by one. Scarecrow leaped out and attempted to stab Batman with his syringe gauntlet...Batman caught the arm and dislocated it easily, eliciting a scream of pain from Scarecrow. "Taste of your own medicine doctor?!" Batman snarled as he tore the mask off Crane's face and jabbed three of the needles in him.
