When the mirror was tipped sideways, the room became crooked. When it was tipped up, the room was straight again. But the room was never straight to begin with. Fear giggled, her mask of tension cracked and gone. The Scarecrow paced around the room, involved in a plan of sorts. He looked over at her. "Fear, you delectable piece of terror, what do you say to going in with me on my plan to get rid of Batman once and for all?"

Fear grinned. "Completely and totally? Gone for good?"
Scarecrow nodded.

"Eliminate him completely? Oh, can we break him down mentally first? Please?"

Scarecrow smiled. "Exactly what I had in mind."
Fear got up. "How scary am I?" She asked.

The Scarecrow gently took the mirror from her hands. "Look at us, Fear. We are terror! Terror incarnate!"
Fear laughed. "Okay, I'm ready! What's the plan?"

"We have quite similar toxins, but I believe that different ones can be developed. Using a concentration of chemicals, we create neurotoxins that cannot be cured by antidotes. Namely, if you take the antidote for one, the other will grow worse."

"Sounds complicated."
"It is, my dear. And that's why we shall have to cooperate with certain others."
"I vouch for Ivy!"

"Now you get the idea."

Pamela Isley, better known as Poison Ivy, was almost asleep when the commotion started.

"The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.."

"No! Please! Noo!"
"Down came the rain, and washed the spider out."
There was a sudden silence.

"Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider- WENT UP THE SPOUT AGAIN!"

"AAGH!"

More silence. Then footsteps, and muffled laughter.
"Oh my gosh Scarecrow, that was awesome! Can we do it again?"

"Of course, but later, Fear. Now we have to gather some friends."

"Why are people afraid of spiders? I never understood."
"The human mind is complicated."
"Ooh! There it is!"

Poison Ivy watched as her cell door was opened, apparently by a shadow. She walked out.

"Who else do we want?"

"Who else can help us?"

A third voice chimed in now. "Ooh! Whatever you're doin', I can help! Lemme out of here!"

Fear laughed. "Hi Harleen. Fancy seeing you here."

"Adrienne? Adri, lemme out!"

Click.

Harley Quinn jumped out of her now open cell, fists clenched in anticipation.

"Okay, what are we doin'?"

"Creating a fear inducing toxin that is composed of many parts, making an antidote almost impossible to create."

Harely Quinn's interest dropped, and Poison Ivy's surfaced.

"Sounds like a challenge."
They turned to face her, light illuminating their faces in a creepy way.
"I should have known. Hello, Crane, Adrienne."
"Hi Ivy." Fear waved. "Come on you guys, let's get out of here."
Poison Ivy let Fear lead the way, and they had almost exited the building when twelve guards showed up.
"Freeze!"
For a split second there was silence, and then all hell broke loose. The Scarecrow pushed Fear out of the line of fire as Ivy and Harley ducked. There was a hiss, and Harley muttered something about knowing she shouldnt have gotten out of bed this morning. The lights flickered out. Silence resumed once more, but silence with anxiety behind it, silence that knew it was waiting for something.

"Are you afraid?"

Fear's voice came from everywhere at once.

"What are you afraid of? Why are you afraid?"
Several guards started shooting in random directions.
"Let's find out, shall we?"
Ivy, already knowing the outcome of this, closed her eyes. A variety of shrieks and inhuman screams joined with the human ones to create a cacophony of terror. Even without looking, Ivy's blood ran cold. She felt Harley grab her for moral support, and a few minutes later, everything stopped. Ivy looked up. The guards were on the ground, flailing and grabbing at nothing with empty wide eyes. Crane was helping Fear up, and they turned in Ivy's direction.
"Shall we?"

Harley got up, still shaking, and dusted herself off.
"That was one great masterpiece theater, Adri. Just..don't do it again while I'm around, okay?"
