This has certainly taken a turn for the worse. The boxing glove, the joy buzzer - the Joker has his whole damn arsenal out, doesn't he.
Wash takes the extra second to recover, to get his bearings, and to inwardly swear a blue streak, because his helmet is too damaged to record and it would have been really fucking nice to prove Brainy's innocence to the galaxy at large.
But that's something to rue later. Right now, there's a fight going on, a fight that thankfully only includes poison gas for half a second. The moment that gas is clear, Wash is sprinting at the Joker, knife in hand, low to the ground, and fast as he can go. He aims to catch the Joker in a full shoulder tackle, and the hand with the knife flicks upwards to slash at the joy buzzer. If he can cut the weapon off, great; if he has to take the whole damn hand, he'll happily do that too.
But the most important part of this is that they're close enough to the fridge for the plan to work, and he gives the signal - "Fall back!" - holds out for the space of a breath - that has to be long enough for a speedster to get himself and Dave at least fifteen feet away - and sets off his power. His eyes flash.
Hopefully, Dave and Barry got out of the way in time. Hopefully, the Joker doesn't have anything else up his sleeve. Hopefully, Wash can get clear in enough time for Dave to do his part. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
