Prologue

Jonathan Crane sat there, questioning himself as The Scarecrow said in his head, "Don't be intimidate by her. She's nothing to you!". "Yes she does! She used to be my world and she was the one who help me to conquer you!", Jonathan fought back. "But I'm still here aren't I Jonny?", said The Scarecrow as he laughed manically.

Jonathan held his hands at his ears, trying to shut the laughter out. "Jon?", he heard a softer voice. He turned his attention back to the centre of his 'kangaroo court'. A woman, who was holding out her hand while other police officers were trying to keep the criminals from harming the woman, walked slowly towards him. Bane was down due to a surprise Desert Eagle bullet to his legs and Jonathan knew escaping is the least likely possible.

"Please stop this. Come back to me. You did it before. You can do it again. Please, come back. I need you. Come back to me, my love", she said as she walked slowly to him with her hands stretched out towards him. "I can't Eva. I don't want him to hurt you", said Jonathan, referring 'him' to The Scarecrow. "You can't protect her! You're weak! You're nothing! She'll die if she sticks with you! Your father was right! You're weak! You can't protect anyone!", The Scarecrow screamed at him.

"Stop it!", he yelled to himself. "CSI Dawns, you can't help him", said the old man who was tied to the chair – the court's recent 'convict'. The woman turned to Bane and said, "If you had just simply shot him dead earlier it would've saved me some work". Bane was surprised to hear her remarks and the old man looked at the woman with fear. She was not insane like Jonathan Crane, but she's a fearsome person to behold or to anger.

The woman turned back to Jonathan who was already curling at the floor. She came closer, but this time it was not Jonathan. "You can't help him! You can never help him!", it was The Scarecrow and he was laughing. "I did it once and I will do it again!", she yelled at The Scarecrow. "I'm scared Eva", this time it was Jonathan. "I can help you. Just come back", she said as she held out her hand and he was unsure of what to do.
