You can't outrun your own reflection
As the group were overcoming and fighting their fears they heard a voice echoing all around them. "All everyone thinks is that fear is something to conquer. When in actuality"
"It's a sacrament!" The large figure had suddenly emerged looming over the group.
"Scarecrow..." Bruce's eyes narrowed as he looked up at the huge man.
Thinking it was another illusion Aquawoman leaped towards him only to be slapped away her away and sent her crashing back to the ground. Whatever he was it appeared he was solid. The chuckle Scarecrow emitted vibrated inside of the groups skulls. "I am here only has an observer my new cocktail, so save your powers! Fear is not something you can beat, you can only be sucked further in!"

Looking across everyone gathered in the streets of Gotham, Trixie was troubled. "Uhhhm, hello? Everyone?" she called out, quirking a brow while she watched and listened as her companions spoke to objects, or simply into thin air, addressing them by names she'd never heard, and with hostile and shocked tones, "Why are you all acting so-?"
"Trixie!" exclaimed an all-too recognizable voice, patronizing as ever. Trixie grinned.
"Oh no, you've caught me red-hooved this time," she laughed, "following in your hoofsteps and playing the hero, just to impress you, Princess- Twilight!" Trixie yelped in shock; her eyes open wide and unable to look away from the Alicorn Amulet being held just in front of her by a very displeased Twilight. "Twilight, I-I can explain-"
"You don't have to explain anything, Trixie," spoke a second voice from behind, hushed and hurt. Trixie snapped around to face it, shouting "Starlight!"

"Starlight, you need to tell her that I-" the showpony pleaded,
"stole the Alicorn Amulet back and destroyed Twilight's castle?" Starlight cut in, tears flowing, "Yeah, I already told her! You just couldn't accept that she's better at magic than you are, could you? You never let go of your grudge with her, did you?" Starlight continued while Trixie choked on her words, unable to argue. "I trusted you, Trixie!"
"We trusted you, and you betrayed us," Twilight added in.
"You betrayed everypony who thought you had changed!" Starlight screamed. Dancing on her hooves and wildly shaking her head, Trixie backed away from her fears brought to life.
"I have changed; I'm different now! I'm not a villain!" Trixie snapped at Starlight, just as the crack of gunfire rang in the showpony's ears, and snapped her out of the nightmarish haze to find the only two vaguely equine-shaped things flanking her were a crooked little tree, and a toppled bench. Heaving ragged breaths, Trixie blinked and cocked her head back. Mumbling in confusion, she then looked to the Alicorn Amulet, still hanging just in front of herself...within her own telekinetic hold. Shaking her head, Trixie quickly stored it away under her cloak again where it wasn't to be seen, and cleared her throat. "Ahem...nevermind, everyone, now I know why..." she announced, casually calling off her earlier question.
Trixie heeded Bruce and followed close beside him, regaining her wits and confident demeanour awfully quick, or at least making it seem so. Still, her two front hooves shook with each step. "Fear of the unknown? Pff!" Trixie scoffed at the notion, "That's never stopped the Great and Powerful Trixie before!" she proclaimed, "Besides, we already know what Bane is doing, thank you,"
