Sorry this isn't super long! But I was stuck on this chapter, I always viewed two characters that will be talking in this chapter always having chemistry together, who I'd put together if not for Joker and Harley :3 Anyway, let me know what you think! Thank you!

Chapter Two- 'Crow

A small gasp escaped Harleen as she heard. "The Joker? The..actual Joker?" Shock settled against her before a little smile went across her face.

She had always been interested in The Joker ever since she started reading about all his crime actions that were always posted in the papers.

He was the main person that she knew would make an impact on anything she could write, she wanted to interview him for it, along with the others that Batman had caught for Arkham. She was also going to involve the Batman somehow, she wasn't sure how yet but for right now the only thing on her mind was Joker.

"Could I speak with him?" She asked quickly as she caught up to Joan.

Though, Joan looked at Harleen and smiled, you could already tell what the answer would be. By the look on her face, she looked like she had heard that question before from others. Harleen tried to stay in good thoughts about the answer, but began to have her doubts.

"At this time I don't think that would be best. Let us see how you handle things with other inmates first."

But if only Harleen had known that it would be three months of waiting, three months of interviewing and speaking with so many inmates at the asylum that it seemed all their faces blurred together.

Except the occasional Poison Ivy, who had over those three months had began to consider Harleen as a friend. Edward Nigma also known as The Riddler, spoke to Harleen mostly in riddles. But it pleased her that he spoke to her at all, Joan always thought of him to be the quiet type, to doctors at least.

The other man she'd speak to seemed more willing, seemed more interested to speak with her, which currently she was in the interview room with him, him sitting across from her watching her curiously as she sat in the chair wearing her white lab coat, her glasses snugly on her face, with her hair pinned up. A few loose strands were down around her face, which she was giving out annoyed sighs and was pushing them back every now and then.

Jonathan Crane's file sat open next to her, while her notebook that was titled, 'Patient: Jonathan Crane AKA Scarecrow Interview Notes' was in front of her. It was opened to the page titled 'Interview Number 15, Part 1'. Doctor Crane had been on good behavior for the past two months, Harleen only getting to speak with him after his good behavior was cleared by Doctor Leland of course.

Beside them, was a voice recorder that she reached over and flipped on, speaking clearly as she spoke up so it would hear her, saying, "Patient interview fifteen, allowed another interview with Doctor Jonathan Crane, also known as Scarecrow."

"A question..." He spoke as he watched her taking a few simple notes, how he seemed to be doing, if he was behaving, how he was speaking. The usual things that she'd start out with everyone. She paused in mid sentence and lowered down the pen she wrote with and looked at him.

"What do ya mean 'Crow?" Crow, that little nickname she said that made him smile. He chuckled and leaned forward, his chest bumping against the rather large table that was between them, he had hand cuffs around his wrists that were attached to the table.

The most he could do was reach to the middle of the table, but not to her. "I have a question." He said in the same calmly tone of voice.

"Ask away." Harleen spoke in her usual cheerful, hyper type of tone and watched him as a smile broke along his face. "Why are you trying to get an interview with the clown?"

A tilt of Harleen's head made her think about that for a moment, when she started to answer, Dr. Crane cut her off. "Are you afraid that you won't? Are you afraid of what will happen when you gain access to such a man?"

She began to realize that he was toying with her, but this is what she wanted from any of them, she wanted to learn their ways, it would be excellent for when she attempted to write her book on all of them.

"Yes, I'm afraid and worried that I won't get to interview him, and about what he could say."

Crane thought this over and gave a click of his tongue, slamming his hands down against the metal table which caused Harleen to jump. She watched him closely, but tried to not show any fear that she may have had.

He slowly slid his hands across the surface until the chains clanked against the tables edge, sounding off that his hands had gone far enough and that the middle of the table would have to suffice.

"But...you do not feel that way with me...isn't that correct, Doctor Harleen Quinzel?"

"Harley..." She mumbled as she began to chew on her lip. Jonathan smiled at her and corrected himself, whispering to her. "Harley."

Harley leaned forward slowly, placing her hands within a few inch from his. "Why do you focus on fear?"

"Fear is a strong emotion Harley..." He said, glancing down at their hands, trying to inch his forward to hers, but the cuffs made a sound of protest. Harley noticed this and slightly moved her hands forward towards his, but stopped.

He noticed this was a result of his answer and looked at her. "But its not the only emotion." She said, looking at him curiously. By now, Crane was focused to see how her mind worked, it was obvious since she was the only one that he'd speak to.

"True, true..but it is one of the strongest, it drives people to do many crazy things. All from love, to hate...to even lust." A little grin appeared on his face and Harley inched her hands forward again, just barely out of his reach.

"Yeah...but you work on everyone's fears 'Crow...what's yours?" She leaned forward and noticed his expression changed, her hands slipped forward by accident but that didn't stop him. He reached out now that she was close enough and grabbed her hands into his. A gasp left her lips as she stared closely at him.

"You will have to do a lot more Harley...if you want to know that." He looked down and studied her hands, running his thumb against the beginning of her wrist. "As for you..it won't take me long to see what you fear.."

Harley glanced down, blinking some as she quickly mumbled. "I-Interview over." She pulled her hands from his quickly and stood up, turning off the voice recorder and closing her notebook and his file. But as she was about to leave, a sudden thought came to her.

"How 'd ya know I wanted to interview Joker?" She asked him as he sat back in his chair with his hands resting together against his chest.

"Things get around here at Arkham, nothing's a secret..."

So what did you think? Good? Bad? Let me know ^_^
