Summary: (Sequel to Always…) Sixteen years have passed since the fear toxin was released. Jonathan's moved on and created a life elsewhere, using Lisa and Amy to create the image of a 'family man'. Now, when they return to Gotham, Jonathan's past is catching up to them as the truth unravels in front of Amy.
Prologue
Amy Alison Crane was no stranger to insanity. Although she did not know it, her birth father, Jackson Rippner, had been a smooth-talking psychopath. Her mother had been driven insane by both her fathers, even though her adoptive father was more adept at hiding it.
Now, Dr. Jonathan Crane, her uncle—yet, he had elevated himself to being her father and effective hid the existence of his brother—was as disturbed as some of the patients that he treated. She had known he was insane for years. How could anyone, no matter how brilliant they were; work in a nuthouse such as Arkham Asylum, where he had once been the Director many years earlier, and still remain sane? But her biggest problem was her mother's blindness to Crane. Lisa worshiped him and the ground he walked upon.
It was no surprise when Amy's illusion of a perfect world came crashing down, thanks to efforts of a determined father and the last 'good' cop in Gotham. Jackson Rippner, her long-dead father, ended up working opposite Jim Gordon to bring Jonathan Crane down for good and help her learn the hidden truth.
Author's Notes:
Just a short teaser. A real chapter should be up tomorrow. I have it written, but I still need to type it up and the last two days have been busy for me. At the beginning of the story, Amy doesn't know anything about Jackson. Jonathan has erased Jackson from all their lives. Lisa no longer remembers him and as an effect of the toxin, she's very trusting off Jonathan, but no one else. She's not even very close to her daughter. Enjoy!
