When Bruce Wayne arrives at work he finds his employees discussing a motivational talk on fear to be given at Multigon: by the Scarecrow.

True to form, Scarecrow soon unleashes some fear gas on the attendees and Bruce has to become Batman to prevent mayhem and death. Sasha breathes in some of the gas and sees herself shooting Batman, until he comes on the scene with a rebreather for her. In rescuing some people from a lift, he has to give up his own rebreather and hears Sasha tell him that Alfred, or Tim, or Leslie, or Dick, or Lucius Fox has had a serious accident. It is not until much later, mobbed by reporters at the door of Wayne Manor that Bruce discovers that one of these messages really was Sasha talking - Lucius Fox has had a stroke.
