Raven waited for the backup Oracle mentioned. She waited next to the unconscious Tsukuyomi. She took a glance at him and couldn't help but notice the handsome figure before her. But as she did, out from the door came Batman, Nightwing and Robin. 

Robin: Looks like we missed the fun!

Nightwing: I was just thinking the same thing!

Batman: Cut the chatter you two. 

Batman sees Raven next to the unconscious Tsukuyomi and walks up to her.

Batman: What happened here?

Raven: I was kidnapped by Scarecrow some time ago. He was experimenting his Fear Toxin on everyone he's kidnapped. Before he could test it on me, I tried to get out. That's when Tsukuyomi came in. He cleared the guys out and went after Scarecrow.

Batman: What happened next?

Raven: Before going after him, Tsukuyomi told me to find a place to hide. Next thing I know, I'm seeing that shadow thing trying to take over. 

Hearing that got Batman's attention. He saw that Tsukuyomi was fine, yet unconscious. He wondered how this girl managed to take control of Dark Shadow.

Batman: How did you stop Dark Shadow?

Raven: I used my powers to help tame it. 

After hearing that, Batman then picks up Tsukuyomi and turns to Raven.

Batman: Follow me. We have more to discuss about this.

Raven: Okay. 

As Batman and Raven walk, the Dark Knight turns to Robin and Nightwing.

Batman: I want you to round up Scarecrow and his thugs and take them to the GCPD.

Nightwing: Always leave the clean up detail to us eh Batman?

Batman: Round them up and take them to Gordon. I have this to deal with. 

Robin: Got it! 

Batman soon led Raven to the Batmobile. Raven got in as Batman placed the unconscious Tsukuyomi inside. After that, Batman gets in and begins to drive the Batmobile, Raven is in disbelief that she was in the Batmobile right next to Batman. The ride was filled with silence as the got to the Batcave. Sometime later, Tsukuyomi woke up.

Tsukuyomi: Wh....what happened?

Batman: You lost control of Dark Shadow while fighting Scarecrow.

Hearing that filled Tsukuyomi with dread and despair. The last time he lost control of Dark Shadow resulted in the death of a villain. 

Tsukuyomi: Did....did I.....did I.....

Batman: No. The girl you saved managed to help reign in Dark Shadow through some sort of magic. 

Hearing that greatly relieved Tsukuyomi as Batman continues to tell him about what had happened.

Batman: Your blood report shows small traces of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin in your system.

Hearing that reminded Tsukuyomi of his encounter with Scarecrow.

Tsukuyomi: Scarecrow gassed me when I confronted him. I could feel Dark Shadow trying to take control. But I was able to hold him off for as long as I could. But the fight weakened my ability to control him. After that, everything went black.

Batman: We'll have to work on helping you control Dark Shadow. But besides that, you did well in taking out Scarecrow's secret lab. Even when under the influence of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin you managed to take him on.
