His minions secure Projcnow in a cell, where she can see her son strapped to a table. Various surgical instruments litter the area; none look clean. Thankfully, the young man seems physically unharmed at the moment... though he is not moving, save for shallow breathing. He is unconscious.

Scarecrow has had to fashion something a little more creative for the Elongated Man. With his stretching abilities, he could get loose from any cell.

Instead, he draws a circle on the ground around the hero. "Move beyond this area," he says, knowing full well his fear-toxin is in full effect, "and you will assure a very painful and ugly death for yourself as well as the two you came to rescue."

He orders his two minions offboard; they will aquire a more permanent method to secure the meddling detective, once the overdose of the toxin wears off. He glances at Projcnow -- her eyes still show effects of the fear-toxin. She got a low dose, however, so she should be sober shortly. And that's when he can begin his experiments, untainted by the gas.

His other, unexpected guest is likely to stay frightened for quite some time.

He might as well start experimenting with him, first.
