Chapter 1: The Master of Fear

It was supposed to be a quiet night, Batman had made sure of this in advance; nobody was supposed to get hurt. Nobody was supposed to get attacked, but they did.

Robin and Kid Flash sat on top of a roof top watching the streets below, well at least Robin was; Kid Flash was stuffing his face with what Robin counted as his tenth taco.

"'Dude, how can you eat all that?" Robin said in exasperation even though he already knew the answer.

"I have a fast metabolism, I can't help it," Robin's best friend of two years explained through a mouth full of taco.

The raven hair eleven year old crinkled his nose in disgust, "whatever dude, just close your mouth when you talk."

Wally shrugged and continued to eat, when he had finished he looked up at Robin. "So do you think Bats really threatened every villain into leaving us alone?"

Robin sighed, "Probably he's done it before."

"Dude! That's so unfair we could totally take down some baddies!" Kid Flash protested loudly.

Robin rolled his eyes, "says the 13 year old who acts eight."

"DUDE!" The red hair whined teasingly. "Not cool!"

"Shhh not so loud."

"Why? You said no one's out anyways."

"Not yet you never know."

KF shrugged, "well do you think I can go grab another taco?"

"No," Robin said bluntly.

"Oh come on man, it's a block away," Wally protested. "I have money."

"I said no."

"Why not? I could be there and back in a—"

"Because this isn't Central City, this is Gotham," Robin turned around quickly, glaring at his friend. "My villains aren't like yours; mine will kill you if they get the chance. You can't give them that chance."

For a moment the young speedster just sat there blinking before rolling his eyes, "Are you sure Bats isn't your real dad? You sound just like him."

Robin's eyes narrowed even more, "positive."

"Right, touchy subject," Wally muttered, he didn't know a lot about Robin other than he lived with Batman and his parents were dead.

It was strange to be best friends with someone whose real name was a mystery to you, but that didn't change anything.

"So are we just gonna—"

"Found something," Robin whispered cutting Wally off.

"Finally," Wally groaned, as Robin scrambled onto his back. "Which way?"

"North harbor, warehouse 401," Robin announced and they were off as Wally muttered something about it always being a warehouse and they should've just looked there first.

Seconds later the duo was standing outside the empty building.

"Give me a second to figure out whose inside," Robin whispered, before disappearing with a cackle.

I hate it when he does that, Wally thought as he sat down on a crate, this was followed quickly by. I wish I had another taco, I'm hungry.

Robin slowly climbed into a window and from the rafters watched as three men began to unload crates.

"So how much of this stuff did they bring in?" One huffed as he lifted a crate.

"Not sure, but the boss says it's important and that if anything inside breaks we're gonna be in for the worse experience of our lives," Another huffed.

The last snorted, "Sounds like him."

Three guys and a couple boxes of drugs, Robin thought. That shouldn't be hard.

Disappearing back through the window he meant up with Wally whose eyes were closed.

Laughing Robin poked him, "Hey KF wake up."

Wally jolted awake leaping to his feet and raising his hands in a stereotypical ninja manner quickly before sighing. "Dude! Don't do that!" He groaned and Robin laughed.

"It's your fault for falling asleep."

"I wasn't asleep I was just resting my eyes," The red head huffed.

"Sure you were, now come on there's only three of them," Robin explained.

Wally smiled brightly, "So we out number them."

"Exactly."

"Well let's go," Wally said excitedly and sped off towards the warehouse.

"No KF wait we need a—"Robin started, but his best friend was already gone. "Plan."

The first sidekick finished lamely, before sighing and ran off towards the door, instantly freezing as he saw a silver gun held up by the speedster's head.

"I thought you said it was only three guys," Kid Flash muttered, eying the gun nervously.

"It was….." Robin trailed off as he looked around to see at least a dozen men all pointing guns at him. "Crap."

"Don't move Bird Boy," a man growled. "Or your friend Speedy gets a bullet to the head."

"It's Kid Flash!"

Robin almost laughed as Kid Flash yelled in annoyance.

"Shut up boy, or your hair gets even redder," the man threatened pressing the gun against Wally's head even harder.

Wally's mouth clamped shut and he looked at Robin eyes wide asking him silently what to do.

Before Robin could do anything a soft empty laugh echoed through the warehouse.

"Well look what the bat dragged in," the voice was horse and raspy and Robin's eyes widened slightly under his mask. "What's the matter Robin are you scared?" A silver scythe flashing into the pale lighting. "Because I've learned to embrace it, fear can be your best friend." A scarecrow mask made its way into the light followed by a body. "As long as you use against others."

The laugh echoed again through the hall as the Master of Fear appeared before Robin.

"Scarecrow," Robin growled and Kid Flash's eyes widened.

"Scarecrow? As in the crazy guy who—not good. Not good. Not good." Kid Flash's eyes were wide now as he vibrated wildly causing the guy holding him to grit his teeth, as his clothes burned and press the gun against his head harder.

This caused the speedster to freeze again, but his eyes were still wild with fear.

"Me crazy?" Scarecrow gasped as he walked towards KF whose eyes were desperately looking for a way to escape. "I'm insulted and do you know what I do to people who insult me."

"Scarecrow don't!" Robin screamed and tried to reach his friend, only for two guys to grab onto him. "Leave him alone! Use me! Leave him alone!" Robin was panicking now, which wasn't helping Kid Flash.

"We put them to sleep, with a special little gas," Scarecrow hissed and placed something over the 13 year old's mouth.

You could tell the speedster was holding his breath, that he was struggling, but soon he was forced to breath in the gas.

"NO!" Robin screamed as his best friend's green eyes widened and darted around the room. "STOP IT! STOP I'LL DO ANYTHING!" Robin screamed as Wally collapsed to the ground, screaming.

"Ahhh, but this is too good Bird Boy, two birds one stone, I torture your friend I torture you," Scarecrow laughed in sick enjoyment as Kid Flash twisted and screamed on the ground.

"FLASH!" Kid Flash screamed, and began to vibrate wildly. "No, no, no, no, no Flash!" A choked sob and Wally curled up in ball; eyes glazed over and empty of any emotion other than fear.

"Robin!" Was the next name screamed followed by, "Mom! Dad!"

"He's going to wake up," Robin tried to growl at the villain, but instead it came out as a whisper. "He's a Flash he'll wake up faster."

Scarecrow's smile made Robin sick and eyes widen, his mind fitting pieces together before Crain spoke them.

"That's what you think, but you see Boy Blunder, ever since I ran into Flash I decided that my fear gas needed something extra special for his kind," The villain's mask curved up, showing that he was once again smiling.

Robin's eyes widened in horror, as he watched his friend twisting and turning rapidly on the ground, screaming at invisible enemies. Unable to help him, unable to do anything, but stand there and watch in horror as his best friend screamed.

So what did you guys think? Good? Bad? HORRIBLE? EPIC? TELL ME!

Okay so anyone who can give me anything about Scarecrow's personality I would be grateful. I know very little about him, other than my knowledge from Batman Begins and a couple cartoons PLEASE HELP!

Okay so this story should be about 3-5 chapters long, but hope you enjoyed the first part!

UP NEXT: Chapter 2: Nightmares

Wally knew something bad was going to happen, but at first nothing did. The second the small mask was placed over his mouth and he was forced to breath in toxic air, he knew he was in for the worse moments of his life.

At first nothing happened, at first Wally thought that maybe his metabolism killed off the gas before it could take effect, he was wrong.

PLEASE REVIEW EVEN SMILIES MAKE ME HAPPY! (come on people it only takes about 10 seconds [I've timed it])
