Summary
“Hi,” she says in a breathless rush, then takes a moment to swallow and wet her lips. “I, uh, need your help?”
“Are you dying?”
“N-not exactly.”
“Then you don’t need me,” comes Jason’s lazy, uninterested reply.
The call ends with a click.
--
Steph doesn't know what's more embarrassing: that she's been locked in a closet during a party, or the fact that her "friends" aren't really her friends.And to top it all off, Jason's the only one who can come rescue her.

Summary
There was only one thing Scarecrow wanted to inflict. Fear.
In his head, Dick was grateful he was the one in the hot seat. He always had a harder time watching his loved ones be in pain than taking the pain himself. That face was one of the leading reasons behind almost everything he does. Furthermore, he and Bruce have been testing his level of resistance to Scarecrow's fear gas, and compared to the others- even Bruce- he was the best option for this. Right?
. .
OR: Scarecrow makes a fear toxin specifically for Nightwing, who seems to be immune to his normal batch. And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas... if there wasn't also a device attached to his head that analyzed his thoughts to make him face his greatest fears...
What's worse is that his family, who have basically shut him out since his return from Spyral- from the dead- is there to witness his fall.
*Title from the song 'Gilded Lily' by Cults
