YES! I'm turning this into a full story; since some of you want it so bad!
This is a work in progress, so just give me a break on a few kinks until I work them all out.
BUT ENJOY!
"You're guilt has been determined, this is merely a sentence hearing!" he'd said for the millionth time that day, he was getting rather sick of it.
The guilty man squirmed in his chair "That's not fair!" he proclaimed.
Scarecrow shook his head "Not my problem." He said.
"So, death or exile?" he asked.
The man sighed "Exile! I chose exile!" the man proclaimed.
Crane pounded his gavel "Exile it is!" he said, the jury cheered as the man was carried away.
The villain looked down at his list "Bane? Some 'pressing' business for me?" he said
Bane came forward and simply thrusted Jackie towards Crane's desk before walking away.
Crane smirked "Jackie, I knew you'd be back." He said.
Jackie nervously chuckled "Yep. Look, we need to talk." She said.
"Then talk!" he said.
"It kind of private." Jackie said, a tone of annoyance in her voice.
Crane smirked "There's no privacy here, now talk!" it echoed throughout the room.
The room went silent, the jury glancing at her before Jackie cocked an eyebrow "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm dead seriously; now talk before I send you into exile!" Crane said, getting annoyed himself.
Jackie looked around the room before glaring at Crane "I'm pregnant." She said.
The room got even quieter from shock; "Holy shit!" Bane managed to get out before the room began to fill with mutters.
Crane dropped his gavel from shock, he was speechless while Jackie continued on.
"I'm 3 months, and it's yours. Just figured you'd like to know." Jackie said with a cocky tone to her voice as she turned around and left the courthouse.
The room turned back to Crane, who finally let out a shallow deep breathe.
"…court adjourned." He managed to get out before pounding his gavel.
The court house emptied with a few staying behind, Joker stared at Crane until the room was nearly still.
"I think I've discovered my fear; you procreating!" he said with his maniacal laugh before leaving.
Crane mocked his laugh as Joker walked away while Bane walked up to his desk.
"You wanna tell me what the fuck that was!?" Crane asked, burying his face in his hands.
Bane shrugged "A common courtesy?" he suggested.
Crane slammed his fist on the table "Did you have a fucking clue that was going to happen!?" he yelled.
Bane chuckled "She said she needed to talk, I figured it was intel in exchange for her life; excuse me for not assuming that you had a sex life!" he said.
They both went silent before Bane took a step closer "I can take care of it for you." He suggested.
Crane shook his head "No…but, if you could, please retrieve Ms. Gibbard, I want to talk with her." He said, getting up and leaving his desk.
Bane nodded as he watched Crane walk to the closest door and leaving the court, it was obvious that this event had shaken him up a bit; and Bane wasn't going to be the man to point it out.
Jackie ate a bowl of cereal as she ate on her couch, she kept glancing at the ultrasound on her fridge as she contemplated her decision to tell Crane was a good move or not.
She was clueless when it came to this, she now feared for her life now that the secret was out.
It was then a knock on her door shook her from her thoughts, when she gently placed her bowl on the coffee table and got up from the couch.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"The messenger." The person said on the other end.
Jackie looked through her peep hole, seeing Bane on the other side of the door "What do you want?" she asked.
"I've come to retrieve you." He said.
Jackie sighed "Why?" she asked.
"Because, Dr. Crane requests your presence to discuss a sensitive matter." He said through his mask.
She opened the door "I need to get my shoes on." She remarked.
Bane motioned his hands "Then do so." He remarked, stomping his way into her townhouse.
Jackie cautiously turned her back to him as she retrieved her pea coat from the back of her couch, then grabbing her boots that rested next to her couch.
"So, a baby. That sounds…fun." Bane said.
Jackie looked up at Bane "You really don't have to strike up a conversation, in fact; you talking makes me nervous." She said, strapping on one boot.
Bane put his hands up in surrender "Just trying to relax the situation." He said.
Jackie smirked "Well, to be honest, it's not your situation to relax, but nice try." She said, strapping on her other boot as she stood up and put her pea coat on and grabbed her purse.
Bane assisted with the door as Jackie walked out and turned around to promptly lock the door behind them.
She turned to Bane "Onward, then!" she said.
Jackie tried to keep her distance from Bane as they walked along the sidewalk, waiting for one of the many tanks to pull over and give them a lift.
After a tank ride to the courthouse, Jackie stood where she had stood way too many times before.
She was alone, exhausted and just wanted to sleep; the idea of having to deal with this mess another second worn her down as she longed for sleep.
"Jackie." Crane said, walking out of his corridor with two tea cups and a tea pot.
Jackie looked at the man surprised, when she heard the name 'Jonathan Crane' she expected a mask with fear toxin and a 'no mercy' policy; but this completely took her by surprise.
Crane cleared his throat as he walked up to her and handing her a tea cup "Tea? It's decaf." He said.
Jackie shrugged "Okay." She said gently, letting Crane pour her a cup of tea before she gently sat down on the marble floor.
Crane joined her, pouring himself a cup of tea before making eye contact with her; she glared at him as she sipped on her steaming cup of tea.
