41 sparksChapter 5: Torture
Harv: Remember -- if we get captured, no matter what they do, don't talk!
Harvey: What if they torture us?
Harv: Just don't talk!
Harvey: Can we scream a little?
Harv: ...
Harv: That's it, I'm taking control.
Harvey: But-
Harv: Nope, don't even need the Coin. I'm in charge if they capture us.
Riddler: I second that motion.
Harvey: What? Why?
Riddler: Jon, Jervis, and I all share a coping mechanism of talking in poetic riddling nonsense when tortured, so we're useless as sources of information. The girls are all more terrifying than any torturer, Ozzie's staying at the Lounge, Croc doesn't know anything anyways-
Harvey: I don't see what this has to do with anything.
Riddler: Hold on, I'm almost done. Clayface will just assume the identity of one of his past acting roles, making any information he gives completely false. Mr Freeze cares only for his family, physical pain means nothing to him,
Riddler: And I think we can all agree Batman and Harley are the only ones who can get information out of Joker when he doesn't want to give it.
Harvey: I still don't see why this means Harv gets to be in control.
Riddler: Ugh, I forget sometimes that I'm smarter than everyone around me. It's hard being a genius, sometimes.
Harv: Incredible. He's taking my side in an argument, and I still want to punch him.
Riddler: Yeah, that happens a lot with me.
Riddler: Harvey, sweetie, you know I love you. But you're the weak link. Harv will probably make the torturer regret he'd ever been born. You'll just end up letting him take control anyways, but you'll go through a bunch of pain first. I don't want to see you hurt!
Harvey: How did you just turn doubting my abilities into something sweet?
Riddler: Yeah, again, that happens a lot with me.

And then scarecrow sprays him with fear toxin
Being friends with Scarecrow does tend to carry that risk.
LMAO them both using different mediums at the same time with completely different tones is surprisingly more funny then both texting.
The difference between the content of the texts and the content of what's yelled was too perfect not to use for them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

😊
Is Mr Freeze trying to threaten them, or going along with it? Both options are fantastic.
I was thinking he was threatening someone else, while the others sang because Rogues do stuff like that. Now I kinda want it to be them he's threatening...
Right!? Because he's trying to get them to stop, but all he's doing is giving them more icy ammo.
I also enjoy him just going along with it because having Christmas music in your head during the summer is probably a torture whoever he's threatening deserves.
I have Christmas and Halloween music in my head year round, which can get very confusing.
I think Freeze would probably go along with it. The rest of the Rogues are idiots, but they're his idiots, you know?
(So I'm not the only one with the affliction of having 'This is Halloween' and 'Frosty the Snowman's playing in their head in July!?)
As the mom friend I definitely get the 'these are my idiots' energy lol

Didn't you use this in the Incorrect Bat's fic too? ARE BOTH SIDES BLOCKED
Only in a town like Gotham can the heroes and villains be considered equally annoying drama queens to the point the authorities ignore them.
I'm so glad you're enjoying my fics!

Mint tree!
