I wonder if Alchemist gets the same clarity of thought as a toad as he does as a dragon. Does Toad make you the you-est toad you can be like his dragon skill does? Maybe he's been providing more therapy to some of these chemically affected villains than everyone thought.
 
And ding-ding, we have a winner!

Now, to save a lot of people the time to dig around the internet...
Tome of Beasts

A dragon seemingly formed of the night sky has bright white stars for eyes. Lesser stars twinkle in the firmament of the dragon's body.
Children of the Stars. Void dragons drift through the empty spaces beyond the boundaries of the mortal world, wanderers between the stars. They are aloof, mingling only with the otherworldly beings that live above and beyond the earth, including the incarnate forms of the stars themselves. When lesser creatures visit void dragons, the dragons themselves barely notice.
Witnesses to the Void. Void dragons are intensely knowledgeable creatures, but they have seen too much, lingering at the edge of the void itself. Gazing into the yawning nothing outside has taken a toll. The void dragons carry a piece of that nothing with them, and it slowly devours their being. They are all unhinged, and their madness is contagious. It flows out of them to break the minds of lesser beings when the dragons fly into a rage and lash out.
Voracious Scholars. Despite their removed existence and strange quirks, void dragons still hoard treasure. Gems that glitter like the stars of their home are particularly prized. Their crowning piece, however, is knowledge. Void Dragons jealously hoard scraps of forbidden and forgotten lore of any kind and spend most of their time at home poring over these treasures. Woe to any who disturbs this collection, for nothing ignites their latent madness like a violation of their hoard.

You would not believe how long it took to find the entry for Pathfinder. It's not in the Draconomicon, but actually in Bestiary 4. I came across the 5e version before it, actually, while looking through all the countless types of dragons to pick from.

Billing problems
Is alchemist certified for biohazard cleanup? Because billing the justice league for this would be hilarious. Imagine how Alfred would respond!

At the moment he's not even a certified citizen!

"Sir." Alfred got Bruce's attention from the door of his study. "We've received a bill for your 'country club' activities in a most unusual manner."

Bruce slid a pen knife through the side of the envelope and pulled out the trifold sheet of paper.

"Unusual how?" Non-invasive mold removal?

"It was found on your pillow, sir." Bruce froze for a moment before rushing through the entirety of the letter.

Mold removal, vent repairs, cleaning?

One hundred and fifty thousand dollars?!

He... Actually wasn't sure if that was a lot for this service or not.

He flipped the envelope back over...

Alchemic Solutions.

Of course.

"Call Alchemist and tell him to either call me or contact me while I'm on base. And I'll pay him... If this isn't some joke on his part."

Though... Thinking about it, the Mountain -had- stopped smelling like an attic recently...
 
I fully support that becoming canon lol.

Biohazard cleaning up an entire mountain complex must be expensive as hell! Honestly, he probably lowballed the price.
 
Definitely. Removing mold in a house can run up to 30 thousand dollars. Mount Justice is significantly larger.

Each fan that's repaired in the vents could cost between 200 to 2k, depending on accessibility, level of damage and type of damage. The actual HVAC units, for a facility the size of what they're using?

By cost alone, you could combine that bill with Alchemist's annual wage and it's still cheaper than hiring actual, licensed and certified professionals.

I mean, it's surely cost more if they had to get regular people to do it, but a lot of that is paying for the time of so many people for a much longer duration. Despite Alchemist's time being worth more, it's still much, much less in terms of total hours. That figure might be fairly reasonable, especially considering that it's roughly equal to his yearly salary for using his powers otherwise, and probably didn't take him more than a week.
 
Would it have been better to explore an I.D. version of a mold-infested version & clear it?

What would have resulted? Poison Ivy meme?
 
Ah. A void dragon. Those lovely creatures that make you think "Is this a dragon or a Lovecraftian abomination in the shape of a dragon?" Less of a jokester than I was expecting. These things look more like nihilism given form.

The biggest difficulty isn't financial cost but the hiring of people who the Justice League can trust to keep a secret, which is probably the real reason Batman hasn't fully fixed up the Mtn. Justice base.

The only superhero team with a justifiable secret base is Marvel's "X-Men", as Professor X can wipe memories, cause workers to think whatever they're doing is normal, and make people order supplies on his behalf to avoid a paper trail.

He should get something to remove that pesky "cause everyone around him to go insane" debuff, sounds unhelpful for the support character that needs to be around everyone.
Or does that not apply to him because he hasn't spent an eternity\instant (instarnity?) in\around the Void?

If Rotten Ivy is encountered, what would the item be?

Unless you get a Dryad's Cordial or something like it.

I do not think Leslie/ Alchemist would want to take that.

Edit: Would that be an intro to Undead Sewers with Rot & Zombies? A Mario parody of Piranha Plants? Undead Turtles & a Bowser Parody?

I'm pretty sure it was stated that a gl (probably Alan scott) built the place.


Most of the heavy hitters of the Justice League have powers or tech that can help

It'll be about another fifty years before he develops his aura issues, so that's not an immediate concern.
And he's been in the void. All the way back in chapter one. Not the void of space, but the void between realities where a little sock-puppet grabbed him and changed him while other, more alien things watched and laughed.

He waved to them, if I recall correctly.

Pretty sure you're right, but Batman does hire a lot of civilian contractors and vetting them has proven problematic in the past.
The whole Joker attack on the Mountain in the first place only came about because a civilian knew about the location in the first place. Once burned, twice shy after all.
