Problem with scoping

gistfile1.js

// I cannot change this object.
var normalResponseObject = {
    send: function (status, data) {
        alert("This was executed.");
    }
};

var aScope = function () {
    var reaction, status;
    
    var oldSend = normalResponseObject.send;
    normalResponseObject.send = function () {
        // Problem 2: I want to be able to move the code which generates an object
        //            which wraps normalResponceObject elsewhere, but yet still 
        //            have it set a reaction and status which can be accessed by another function.
        status = arguments[0];
        reaction = arguments[1];
        
        oldSend(status, reaction);
    };
    
    setTimeout(function () {
        // Problem 1: assume this is a function which was executed on a particular event happening.
        //            I want to find way of explicitly passing in reaction and status, instead
        //            of depending on closures.
        alert(reaction.hey);
        alert(status);
    }, 500);
};
var anotherScope = function () {
    // Assume that this was being called later on against the normalResponseObject but not here.
    normalResponseObject.send(200, { hey: 5 });
};

aScope();
anotherScope();
