Fear The Reaper

Dick laid unmoving in Batmans arms as Superman peered down at him. "Is he going to be okay?"

Batman nodded slowly. "He's just asleep. The antidote should be taking affect by now." He subtly pulled the sleeping acrobat closer to his chest as he looked towards the Kryptonian. "Let's get him back to the manor."

Superman nodded but stopped a moment when his comm crackled to life, Wonder Womans voice speaking into his ear as she stated. "An emergency signal has just been received from Robin in Bludhaven." She explained. "The city is in chaos and we need any available leaguers to head there immediately to help."

Superman glanced at Batman. The Dark Knight too listening to what the Amazon was saying via his own comm. "I repeat. We need any available leaguers to head to Bludhaven immediately to help."

Batman glanced back down at Dick before back towards Superman. "I'm going to take Dick to the manor. I'll head to Bludhaven right after."

"Got it. Do you think this has something to do with Dick getting poisoned by Scarecrow?" Superman quickly asked.

"We can't be sure. But be prepared for anything." Batman stated. The Kryptonian nodding before shooting off to the sky.

The team was breathing heavily as dozen of unconscious civilians laid on the ground around them. With only more continuing to pool from the shadows.

Batgirl and Aqualad were currently engaged with Scarecrow. The manic doctor glancing past them and to the fallen form of the current boy wonder as he laid on the ground. "Tell me Robin, what is it you see?" Scarecrow asked with a warped chuckle.

"Don't you dare talk to him!" Batgirl snapped as she lunged at Scarecrow once more. Aqualad following closely behind her.

Robin was breathing heavily as sweat caked over his body. His shaking hand reaching into one of the pouches of his utility belt and pulling out a small vile full of a purple liquid. It took everything in his power to steady his hand enough to keep his grip on it. But the sight of an approaching woman made him freeze all over as he stared at her with widened eyes.

Part of him knew that the way her face was sagging and how sunken her eyes were weren't real. But as she continued to approach him with blood spilling out of every opening on her body, the fear in him seemed to push that logic away as his heavy breathes came out quicker and he was snapping at her to 'stay away'.

The gurgled scream that ripped past her lips made his ear drums feel like shattered glass, as his vision blurred, and his head exploded with pain.

He backed himself into a wall further from the group. The vile in his hand having rolled away, blocked by the only increasing bodies as they continued to swarm around him.

His scream ripped through the air as the team shot their gaze in his direction to find him pinned to the ground by dozens of fear filled people. "Robin!" Miss Martian called as she tried to fly to him, but a firm grip on her ankle had her slamming harshly back to the ground.

Robin desperately tried to fight them off as he felt the pressure of their bodies on his own, nearly squeezing the air from his lungs as their nails tore deeply into his skin.

The others tried to push past the swarm surrounding them, Superboy getting the furthest of them all, but even he was just out of reach for the young hacker as he watched more of Robins skin get torn into. "Shit. Shit!" The half-kryptonian screamed. A part of him knowing that he could easily throw these people off of him like nothing more than ragdolls but the fear of the disappointment he would receive from Supermans gaze had him involuntarily holding back even as his teammate continued to get torn apart in front of him.
