Prompt: Fight or Flight
When the Scarecrow decided that Keystone was entirely too innocent for its
own good, he expected that he'd have to deal with one of the Flashes. But
another alien invasion drew away those do-gooders, so he figured that he
was free to act.
That was until he ran into that traitorous Pied Piper. Scarecrow smirked as
he fired a fear-gas capsule that would inflict phonophobia on his victim.
Just in case the "fight or flight" response led to fight, the Piper would be
too scared of his own weapons to do anything? The rats, however, were
not affected by the fear gas. And they knew that the burlap-masked man
had attacked their friend... and they would retaliate!
And the police found Piper still shuddering and weeping with his hands
over his ears... and a perimeter of reddened rats standing guard over him.
