More Reverse!Rogues content, timeline info-dump incoming:
Within the context of this timeline, Scarecrow is often the one fighting Batman one on one, so he sustains a lot of injuries. On a particular night, Bats finds himself more frustrated than usual against the Riddler's attempts to stop his use of drones, and is able to break his arm. This doesn't satisfy Batman's rage and he approaches the Riddler to pummel him further.
This enrages Scarecrow, and compared to their usual fights, he and Batman are fighting with the intent to kill the other. Given the brutality and speed in which the two are able to exchange blows, none of the other rogues or Joker feel that they can intervene.
Gradually, the two are running on nothing but adrenaline because they're bleeding more and more, cracks, snaps, tears, and animalistic sounds are increasing.
They're actually going to kill each other at this rate, the thought running through the rogues mind as they look onward. We have to stop this,
Thankfully, the Joker and Riddler are able to pull themselves out of their shock for long enough to lunge at Scarecrow and Bats to end the mutual mauling. Joker escapes with Batman, throwing a smoke bomb and hastily clambering away before anyone thinks to try following, they just want to make sure Scarecrow isn't dead.
They rush him and Riddler to Hush, taking care to be gentle, but fast. Ed is having a panic attack in the back, watching Jo's breathing slow now that the adrenaline is wearing off,
His best friend could be dying in his arms, bleeding out all because he didn't want Ed to be hurt anyone, oh god, the blood, how much blood was even left in his body?
Ed tries talking to Jo to get any kind of response. Jo barely has the energy to say anything at all, mumbling half-coherent words. Tommy rushes out of his house to receive them and ushers them into his home-practice exam room. While mainly for practicing his techniques, he keeps (mostly) functional equipment in it, more since Harvey came and ask if he was willing to help their cause by treating the rogues.
Still, he's worried when he gets Jo in there. He can't check everything, surgery is vital, he'll just have to cut away Jo's clothes and work on what he was able to deem as an immediate priority. Ed is in the room with surgeon and patient. Tommy would rather Ed leave the room so he can work uninterrupted, but Ed is in too much distress to make that happen.
Tommy is able to keep Jo alive for the night, and treat Ed's arm. It's a sleepless night, but it passes. Hush would need to check Jo a couple more times and operations, and he and Ed are left to recover in peace. Batman doesn't make an appearance during that time either, but his side is more a different post (angsty batjokes)
The gallery forces Jo to stay home with Ed, despite his protests. There won't be any budging on this. He has to focus on getting better. Jo has no choice but to give in. He's in no condition to protest.
The rogues take turns bringing Jo and Ed cooked meals so that neither has to strain their injuries. It's a kind gesture, Jo is just stressed by all the attention. He doesn't like feeling helpless, stuck, or pitied. Some rogues are easier to handle than others, especially if they're just dropping the food off and leaving, but some days that's still too overwhelming.
Needless to say, Jo is thrilled once he's healed enough to get back out there.
