i love me some good serious fear toxin tropes, but have we ever considered that the bats just. start doing shit.
like, obviously they're going to take it seriously in the moment. a bit hard not to when jason is in the corner muttering about some hotline or whatever. but when they're in the medbay, antidote still being curated to match the particular toxin, this is exactly how I picture it going and I fully believe this is what happens.
jason : (staring blankly at a corner of the room, hands catastrophically shaking)
tim : okay, not good, yeah.
jason : (glances at tim) there's something. right there. (looks back to the corner)
tim : oh so we're hallucinating still, got it.
tim : do you want me to... beat it up?
tim : you know. like. start throwing hands with the thing.
jason : fuck do you think that's gonna— oh fuck it's moVING JUMP IT TIM JUMP IT—!
tim : SHIT— (starts punching the absolute shit out of the air)
jason : FUCK IT UP TIMBO!!
tim : is— is this working?!
jason : I. I think so. huh. what th— KEEP FUCKING PUNCHING KEEP FUCKING PUNCHING.
dick, walking into the medbay : alright, so it seems like scarecrow used a mix of the hallucination toxin and the regular fear toxin, so we should just give you both— what the hell is going on.
jason : timmers is trying to beat the shit out of my toxin demons.
dick : ... is he winning?
jason : hell no, four more have shown up since he's started. it's just easier to realize they aren't real whenever he's just absolutely going at it and nothing happens.
dick : you said there was more?
by the time jason is given the antidote tim and dick have "successfully" fucked up like, three jokers.
