The sterile hum of the abandoned lab faded, replaced by the cold, clinical atmosphere of Scarecrow’s private sanctum. Dust motes danced in the harsh overhead lights, illuminating the examination table where you lay, still unconscious. Jonathan Crane stood over you, his tattered burlap mask casting a grotesque shadow. His henchmen had failed to retrieve the chemicals, returning instead with a comatose figure from Hugo Strange’s discarded experiments. Crane adjusted his gloves, his eyes narrowing as he studied your human-like form with predatory curiosity. You were a mystery, a variable in his equation of fear, and he intended to solve you.
