Chapter 8: Helpless
The league of shadows knew when a city needed to be eliminated. The black plague? Guess who brought the rats.
They had only failed once, their greatest failure, Gotham city. Now they had a new target. Jump city.
Just like last time they had dumped gallons of fear inducing poison into the water supply. This time, instead of stealing a microwave emitter from Wayne Enterprises, they had someone make it of them: a small super genius boy, named Gizmo. And so, using one of their lowest ranked soldiers as a distraction they placed the emitter right next to the main water supply of East Jump City.
East Jump City was the dingy, poor part of town. From there they would carry the emitter to the top of Titans tower, which happened to be above the water pipe for the whole city.
Ingenious plan, really.

Robert was a 6 year old boy. His family was very poor. He had 5 brothers, and his mother had to work 3 jobs just to support them all. Most of his brothers, however, were teenagers, and none of them paid any attention to Robert. Every day his brothers would get in shouting matches, and his mother, when she was home, would get into a shouting match with her latest boyfriend. Sometimes it would get so loud in the little apartment that Robert sat outside on the balcony and dangled his legs over the place where Plasamus had melted their railing a while back.
As Robert sat there, sitting and dreaming, the air filled with some kind of….chemical. He breathed in and coughed.
"Mom!" He shouted, pounding on the door back into the apartment. She wasn't listening.
Suddenly, everything around him looked deathly scary. The plant looked like a huge monster with glowing eyes, and so did the melted railing.
He could hear other people's screams too. Their household items must have been monsters in disguise as well.
Using all his might he jumped onto the fire escape and crawled up. By mistake he looked down, and everything looked like a giant sea of monsters and creatures. One grabbed onto his leg.
"Let me go!" He shouted. His hand slipped from the fire escape and he fell and landed back on his balcony.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Robin clicked a button, and a map of the city appeared on screen. Red alert sign popped up from the East side. He shook his head.
"All the people there are helpless"

Professor Finson was the most prestigious, respected man of science in the whole Jump City area, and one of the top 5 in the country for that matter. He had seen fear inducing chemicals before. In fact he had done one of his final reports in college on them, and had gotten an A. Plus. He always thought that it was the stupidest report topic in the world, but now it had a use. He stirred chemicals and poured them into a giant flask over a burner.
"Now I just heat it to 650 degrees Celsius…"
The concoction bubbled and ever so carefully he took the flask with a pair of heat reducing gloves on his hands and poured the liquid into a flask with a cooling liquid.
He smiled. The first batch was done. He put a lid on the flask and ran to the garage of the science center, where he remembered he hadn't driven to work that day.
His friend Mitchell caught his eye "Mitch!"
"Yes John?" Mitch said turning around.
"Do you have your car hear today?"
"I do" He said, fiddling with the keys in his pocket
"Good" and with that professor Finson punched his friend hard into a wall, stole the keys, and drove to perhaps was the only safe place left in the city:
Titans Tower
