Gotham, Arkham Asylum

The Joker (Jack Napier) was making a spectacle of himself in the courtyard, "It looks like we have a game going on," The Joker cackled. "A game of who can beat a super in another city," The Joker continued in a sing-song voice, pointing at The Clock King, Poison Ivy and Harley Quin. "Will you be joining them at the table of shame, or will you rise victorious." The Scarecrow (Dr. Jonathan Crane), who was due for parole, stood up and said, "I am willing to take that chance. I can take down The Green Arrow." "We will see about that," The Joker said, cackling.

Star City Harbour

"Your late." Red Arrow (Roy Harper) said in annoyance. "It's nice to see you too, kid," Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) replied sarcastically. Red Arrow ignored him and said, "I received a tip that there is a large shipment of Vertigo coming in." Green Arrow nodded, as they both walked stealthily among the shipment containers. They soon heard two people arguing, one had a cane and a black cape and the other had a grotesque mask covering his face. It was Count Werner Vertigo and The Scarecrow. "Relax," Count Vertigo said in a smooth voice, "With your Fear Toxin combined with my supply of Vertigo drugs, we will rule this city." "You had better be right about this," Scarecrow said impatiently, he had no time for Count Vertigo's arrogant attitude. "I see you up to your old tricks, Vertigo," Red Arrow said from on top of a shipping container, pointing in arrow at him. "It's Count Vertigo to you peasant!" Count Vertigo spat out angrily. "You're along way from home," Green Arrow added, pointing another arrow at Scarecrow. "Whatever you two have going on ends tonight!" Red Arrow said, narrowing his eyes as he pulled back on his arrow. "I don't think so," Scarecrow said with malice, "We're just getting started. Both archers found themselves filling nauseous as the world around them began to spin. Green Arrow shot a trick arrow at Count Vertigo, causing the man to step back and the world to come to a standstill, but they were both still filling the Vertigo affect. "Scarecrow is getting away!" Red Arrow shouted, "I will deal with Count Vertigo. You stop him." Green Arrow ran after Scarecrow, but found himself back on Lian Yu surround by the dead bodies of his family. "You could have saved us," Roy said accusingly. "You let us down," Dinah Lance (Black Canary) cried with disappointment in his voice." "I swear, I tried!" Oliver said, dropping his bow and backing away in horror. In the meantime, Red Arrow noticed something was wrong with his former mentor, "It's me or him," Count Vertigo said grinning, wiping blood from his mouth. Red Arrow cursed as Count Vertigo ran. "I am so sorry Roy," Red Arrow heard Oliver say, "Please don't die!" Roy was stunned. "Oliver, it's not real, snap out of it!" Roy shouted in worry, but he couldn't or wouldn't. Cursing some more, Roy decided to use a tranq arrow on Oliver, knocking him out.

Watchtower Medbay

Oliver shot up in fear, remembering what he had seen. "Relax," Batman (Bruce Wayne) said, gently bushing Oliver back on the bed. "What happened?" Oliver asked, clutching the side of his head. "You were hit with Scarecrow's fear toxin. You're lucky Roy was able to get to you in time, otherwise it would have been a lot worse." Batman said, checking Oliver's ivy drip. "Where is Roy?" Oliver asked, looking around for his foster son. "I sent him to follow up on a lead." Batman said leaving the Medbay.

The lead

Roy was indeed following up on a lead. He had wanted to stay with Oliver to make sure he was ok, but Batman said he would better off trying to find out where Count Vertigo and Scarecrow would be next. "What do you know about this new version of Vertigo?" He asked the weasel, "Not much," the man said, looking around nervously, "all I know is that people are asking for it." "Where are they manufacturing it?" Red Arrow asked, slamming the man against the wall, "by an old warehouse in the centre of town." Red Arrow gave the man a $100 and watched him slip away into the dark.

Roy was relieved to see Oliver standing next to Batman in the conference room. "Did you find out anything useful?" Batman asked in his gravely voice not looking up from the screen he was working on. "Yes," Roy said crossing his arms across his chest glaring at Batman, "According to my source the new mixture of Vertigo and fear toxin is the new drug of choice; and it's been manufactured in an old warehouse in the centre of town." "So, what are wating for?" Oliver asked leaning against the wall. "For this," Batman said tossing them a vial each, "It's an antidote for the fear toxin. "Now we ready." Batman finished walking to the nearest zeta tube.

Star City, Centre of town

"It looks like there is activity in there," using is info red binoculars. "I will take the side door, you two take the air vents, and we will meet inside." Both archers nodded, taking out their grappling hooks.

After they had split up in the vents, Green Arrow managed to make his way towards the centre of the warehouse, towards the workers. Jumping out of the vent, he took out his bow and pointed at the workers. "Put your hands up and step away from the table." Speaking anxiously amongst themselves, looking nervously around. Taking aim, he asked, "Now who is going to tell me where Vertigo and Scarecrow are?" When no one said anything, he took aim at the table nearest to him and fired, causing the workers to scream. Oliver turned around slowly when heard the click of a gun, "There is no need for that," Count Vertigo said grinning evilly, "I am right here."

Red Arrow had arrived in time to see Count Vertigo pulling a gun on Green Arrow. Timing it just right, he managed to swing from the air vent and kick Count Vertigo in the back and drop his gun. "What the hell!" Count Vertigo exclaimed in anger, darting towards his gun, "I don't think so," Green Arrow said, shooting Count Vertigo in the hand, causing him to scream in pain. Red Arrow pointed his bow towards the workers, telling them to line up against the wall. Once Count Vertigo had been tied up with workers, they went to look for Scarecrow.

The door Batman went through lead to a loading bay, he noticed Scarecrow was supervising the loading of new stock. "I want this shipment out by tonight!" Scarecrow shouted. "The only thing going out tonight, is you," Batman said, stepping from the shadows. "It looks like you caught me, fair and square," Scarecrow said, putting his hands slowly behind his head and pressing a remote button he had hidden in his hand. Batman managed to get hold of his breather in time, before there was a scream of terror and fear toxin began to fill the room. "You won't be taking me this time!" Scarecrow shouted, darting for the nearest exit. Batman darted towards Scarecrow, when he fell on the floor, unconscious at Batman's feet. Green Arrow had punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

Gotham, Arkham Asylum

After his arrest, Scarecrow spent a week in Star City before been shipped back to Gotham. "We kept your cell warm for you," the guard said, laughing as he led the Scarecrow back into Arkham Asylum.
