Cobblepot was somewhat surprised by Schiller's current form, but not entirely. It felt unexpected, yet reasonable. He said, "I think each of us represents an animal, another form we take in nature. If you asked me what animal you would be, Professor, I'd say it would definitely be a snake."
Pamela nodded vigorously beside him.
Schiller sighed and said, "I think you all have some profound misunderstandings about me. And I don't think it needs to be represented in such an obvious way. Having no limbs really feels awful."

Then they finally got down to business. Pamela said she could teach herself alchemy and try to extract the active compounds from snowdrops, using magical means to cure Alzheimer's disease.
But she could not guarantee the success rate. She could only say there was some hope, and it was worth trying.
Moreover, the extract from snowdrops might also be useful against witch Circe, allowing them to break Schiller's curse.
Although Pamela could induce snowdrops to grow, she felt that, to ensure the medicine's effectiveness, they should use wild specimens. Better yet, they should go to the plant's oldest native habitat and find a native population that had evolved there continuously. That held special significance in mysticism.
Zatanna volunteered. The plant did not grow in the United States; its native habitat was in Europe, though there were also some populations in Asia. Zatanna decided to collect specimens in Europe.
Collecting and extracting the medicinal components would take time, and during that time, Schiller needed to figure out exactly how Edgar and Circe had controlled those three men into committing the crimes, and how much they had participated in the entire process.
The problem now was that Schiller needed transportation. Otherwise,
