The True Fear of Bruce Wayne

Chapter 10: Fear Room

Tim entered the room, and automatically felt afraid. He knew fear is how Scarecrow beat you, but he wasn't go to lie to himself. The testing room was filled with generators and chambers, used to test the various gases Ace Chemicals create. But for Scarecrow, he used them as death traps. As Tim walked by one chamber on his left, he saw a Ace Chemicals worker lying on the floor inside it. He was dead. Yellow veins ran through his face, and his eyes were still wide open.

Tim shrugged of the grotesque image, and kept on walking silently. Then, the power cut out. Tim looked up, to see metal ledges coming from the high ceiling. He took out his grapple gun, and shot at it. As he fixed himself up on the metal ledge, he turned on his detective night vision. This allowed him to see all the heat signatures in the room, and if they were armed or unarmed.

He scanned the room thoroughly. 6 gaurds, all armed. "This should be easy" Tim thought to himself. Two gaurds stood under a ledge, conversing about Scarcrow, Tim couldn't make out completely what they were saying. He grappled over to the ledge above them, and dropped down on both of them, smashing their head into the metal floor below.

The drop caused the metal to vibrate, and in that, making noise. The other gaurds started to run over to see what had happened. But Tim was already in the darkness. They all looked down at their comrades, and one said "Its Robin! Spread out and find him!" They all then spread out, and as soon as they did, Tim dropped to the only one near him and took him out from behind. After this silent takedown, he ran quietly to a corner where a goon was walking towards. He jumped from before the corner, and before the man even had time to blink, he picked him up and smashed his head into his knee. There were only two left. One wasn't too far away so he pulled out a Batarang, it felt weird to him. He was used to his personalized Wing-Dings, but he aimed at the gaurds head and threw it. It knocked him down, and Tim ran over and knocked him out on the ground. The other gaurd looked around, filled with fear. He yelled out, "Leave me alone! Im serious!"

Tim grappled up and over to above the henchman, and threw a smoke bomb around him. The man coughed and sputtered, and Tim dropped down in front of him. He grabbed his gun and threw it away. He wanted the smoke to clear, he wanted them to think Batman was still here.

When the smoke cleared, the goon rubbed his eyes, and he looked at Tim. "He... you're Batman.. you're supposed to be gone." Tim just stared at him, and started walking closer. He grabbed the man lifted him up and said, "Tell Scarecrow, Im..still..here."

He then threw him on the ground and let him run off. Tim knew how to get under Crane's skin. And he had just started
