AN- hello, this is the first story I've ever decided to publish. If I've made any mistakes, please feel free to leave a review telling me.

I honestly don't mind if you leave me what might be the nastiest review I ever receive, I mearly request that anything negative said in these reviews are constructive. Thanks if you've taken the time to actually read this.

Disclaimer- I do not own young justice or any of the characters affiliated with the DC universe. I only own my OC and the plot.

I'm sitting in my room, looking into the mirror across from my bed. Inside the frame of reflective glass, I see myself. A girl who looks to be somewhere between sixteen and seventeen, with a short bob of light brown hair and piercing icy blue eyes. I look almost exactly like my father, except for the fact that I'm female and a few inches shorter. We share the same tall and lanky build that caused him to be bullied as a child. It's a wonder that it took him so long to snap and become who he is.

My name is Alison Maria Crane; I'm the daughter of Jonathan Crane aka the Scarecrow. Most people look at me with pity or horror. They can't believe that such a man could find someone to have a child with. They assume that I'm just like him and want to help him terrorize Gotham. I mean I did when I was younger but it's not like I knew any different.

"Right, that's what they all say.", I hear a familiar voice say in my head.

I think back at her saying,"Shh, I'm trying to do an inner monologue here."

That's Siren, she's the voice inside my head. I have multiple personality disorder, another of the traits I inherited from my father. She drives me crazy sometimes but, at the end of the day, she's probably my best friend.

Siren just can't leave me alone, so she asks,"Are you ever going to get to the part where you state why your having an inner monologue in the first place?"

"Oh yeah, that's probably important." I think mostly to myself,"I mean if anybody else could hear this they'd probably ask where I was going with this."

"Go on then." She prompts me on.

I reply In defeat saying,"Alright, alright."

I'm currently trying to calm myself down. I can't believe how stupid I was to think that was a good idea. By that, I mean what I did last night.

I was on my way home from the asylum, after visiting my father, and thought I heard fighting. I say that like fighting is abnormal but, this is Gotham so it really isn't. I was going to look the other way like any other citizen of Gotham is taught at a young age. Sadly, I didn't. Something caught my eye; it wasn't a regular mugging going on or even the city's dark knight saving the day. It was every one of the sidekicks I had ever heard about, even some that I didn't have a name for. There was Robin, a not uncommon sight in Gotham, along with Artemis, Kid Flash, Aqua Lad, Miss Martian, and Super Boy. Then there were the ones I didn't recognize, such as the African American girl who was flying, surrounded by a purple aura and another girl who was dressed like a magician and speaking some weird language. They were fighting a bunch of thugs and what appeared to be the Joker.

The fight was epic to say the least. I couldn't look away, but the sidekicks slowly started to fall unconscious until only Artemis, Robin, and Miss Martian were left standing. The thugs were over powering them.

It was then that I made the decision that I would soon come to regret. I took out the gas mask my father always had me carry around and put it on my face so that no one could recognize me. Then I ran into the mess of bodies, slowly taking out the thugs that got in my way, making certain I didn't kill any of them, until there were about four left, including the Joker. I don't think anyone noticed me. I'm still finding this hard to believe since I'm almost 5"11, but to each their own I suppose. Anyways, Artemis and Miss Martian were focusing on a thug each which left robin with the Joker and a thug. Robin was so focused on Joker that he didn't notice the thug that was coming up behind him. So, I stepped in. Just as the thug was about to take hold of Robin, and Robin was knocking out the Joker, I picked up a steel pipe and hit the thug over the head. This effectively knocked him out and allowed Robin to finish taking care of the final thug. It was at this point that the three of them took notice to me.

I turned to leave, but Robin called out to me asking, "Wait, who are you, and why did you help us?"

I didn't know what to say so I turned around and just stood there. Probably worried that I hadn't herd him, he asked again. I still didn't know what to say. Siren decided to take over at this point.

She said,"My name is Siren, and I helped you because I felt like it. Nothing more, nothing less."

Artemis didn't seem to like this response and asked in an untrusting voice,"What's your real name?"

"Alison", I said my voice wavering as Siren relinquished control back to me.

I didn't really care whether they knew my first name or not, but I knew I couldn't give them my last name. Of course right after this thought went through my head Miss Martian had to ask me the question I wasn't willing to answer.

She asked me,"What's your last name?"

To this I responded, "None of your business, I have a right to my privacy."

My thoughts betrayed me. Both Siren and I simultaneously thought,"Crane." We forgot that Martians can read minds and Miss Martian muttered my family name out loud. Robin and Artemis looked at me as if asking for verification. I didn't respond; I just turned around and started running. I didn't stop until I returned home. I was surprised to find they didn't follow me.

I've been sitting here on my king sized canopy bed ever since. Just staring at the dark grey walls and Gothic furniture that surrounds me. On occasion, I stare at the mirror I began my monologue looking into.

I've been waiting for hours. They're going to find me and when they do they're going to lock me up. No questions will even be asked, after all my father is the Scarecrow. I'm obviously insane. Note the sarcasm.

"Calm down Ali, they don't even know where we live," Siren says in an attempt to calm me.

"That's not reassuring," I respond,"Robin is Batman's sidekick. They can find anyone."

It's at this moment I hear a knock on the front door.

"See," I thought at Siren, "I told you so."

"Yah, yah,"she thinks back, "we don't know if it's them yet."

My mother seems to open it and has a brief conversation with whoever's on the other side. Neither Siren nor I can hear what's said until my mother calls up to me,"Alice, you have guests."
