"Are you fucking insane? Stop fucking chasing me! Open your goddamn eyes and take a good look at what's happening!"

In the city center, Mr. Freeze raced across the ice with his wife in his arms, constantly cursing over his shoulder.

Behind him, a huge, dark brown Mud Monster reeking of filth was chasing him down like a madman, carrying a battered, barely intact living person.

Not long ago, everything had been going smoothly. Taking advantage of his time off, Mr. Freeze had been happily shopping with his wife when Gotham suddenly mutated.

Not only had a whole mess of inexplicable plants popped up, but several giants had appeared as well. Under their rampage, the entire city center had quickly been reduced to rubble.

Left with no choice, Mr. Freeze had struggled to get his wife to safety. Then, before long, this lump of mud had come charging out of nowhere. It was enough to drive him crazy.

Now Mr. Freeze had to keep his wife clear of the constantly battling giants and Titans while also dodging this monstrosity. He had been forced to swear every step of the way.

"I don't care! I'm going to kill you!"

Behind Mr. Freeze, Clayface had completely lost his head. Nothing else mattered as he frantically shifted his form and pursued his target like a madman.

Gotham falling apart, mutated plants, an absurd battle between giants-none of it could distract him in the slightest. Right now, Mr. Freeze was all he could think about!

In a sense, he was paying Mr. Freeze no less attention than Mr. Freeze's own wife was.

And that was precisely why Clayface's obsessive behavior was too much not just for Mr. Freeze, but for his own accomplices as well.

"Clayface, stop pestering him! Get over here and help!"
