Scarecrow Is Afraid Of Jason - Tumblr Posts
I like to imagine that when Jason (as Robin) gets dosed with fear gas he has a very different reaction.
He’s trained for years, including before Batman in Crime Alley, to choose fight over flight. (Unless he’s outnumbered, most guys though are drunk and can be knocked down really quick with a punch to the groin.)
So, when he gets dosed, he just stops. Sits on the ground, not moving, just breathing with his arms limp at his sides.
Many think he’s mentall freaking but he’s waiting. When anyone steps into his personal space, they don’t have to touch him, he immediately goes for the kill. He may not doing it but he’s going to try.
He won’t flail or scream or make a sound. Just calmly and collectively fight brutally. Throwing batarangs at their heads, dragging or throwing them with wire used to restrain them, beating them til they are unconscious.
He doesn’t care. His mind is blank and he becomes a killing machine. No matter the broken bones or the injuries because the adrenaline makes that go away.
He scares Scarecrow so much that he refuses to use the toxin on him.
Batman knows this, Nightwing knows this, and Scarecrow knows this. After all Scarecrow was Jason’s first victim. He was sent to the ICU to recover.
