Jackie attempted to shove the entire burger in her mouth, she didn't care if the entire diner watched.
Bruce smiled as he ate another fry "So are you still going to auditions at the studio? He asked.
Jackie put her burger down as she shrugged "Don't know anymore. I mean, I'm pretty sure the company doesn't want a pregnant dancer on their hands." She said.
"Nonsense! I'll talk to them." Bruce said.
Jackie gagged a little "Bruce, no—"
"Hey, I donate to that ballet studio! I do it because you go there-because you were really sure about being a Ballerina! Ever since you were 14! Bruce lectured.
Bruce sighed as he continued "Maybe you can try again, you're still a grat dancer and your knee is perfectly fine now! You could dance The Nutcracker if ou wanted to!" he said.
Jackie sighed 'Don't go talking to the Dean of the Ballet Academy of Gotham. Please. I'll figure it out." She protested.
Bruce nodded "Okay. Finish your burger." He said.
Crane was adjusting his formula as Carlisle walked into his study, hoping not to alarm the Scarecrow as he came up behind him.
"What?" Crane asked with an annoyed tone in his voice.
Carlisle cleared his throat "I found you a groupie." He said.
Crane rubbed the bridge of his nose "You didn't interrupt me jus to tell me you found me a play thing." He suggested.
The man tossed the ultrasound picture onto Crane's work desk, causing him to tense as he slid the picture closer to himself.
Crane observed the picture, secretly admiring the forming fetus that he helped create.
"It's marvelous, isn't it?" Crane asked in a euphoric tone.
Carlisle nodded "It is. It will be a beautiful child." He said cautiously.
Crane sighed "Retrieve her for me." He requested, turning to Carlisle "And make sure she knows to pack an overnight bag." He said with a smirk.
Carlisle nodded, walking away from Crane's desk.
Jackie returned home, turning on every light in the living room as she made her way into the bedroom.
"Ms. Gibbard." She heard coming from behind her.
Jackie gasped, turning around to see Carlisle coming out from a shadow.
"What!?" Jackie exclaimed, trying to calm her now racing heart as she held onto the counter with all her might.
Carlisle chuckled gently "It's okay. I'm not here to hurt you." He said, trying to reassure Jackie.
Jackie rolled her eyes "Then what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Crane has requested your presence. And said you should bring an overnight bag." Carlisle said.
Jackie huffed as she walked out of her bedroom and into the kitchen; trying to escape Carlisle as she began cleaning her dirty dishes.
Carlisle followed her, Jackie turned around and crossed her arms "Please tell Mr. Crane that if he wants to talk to me, then he needs to come talk to me himself—and quit sending his messenger boy!" she said, walking to her entrance and opening the front door.
"Please, leave." Jackie remarked.
Carlisle sighed, this battle was over and he would pass on Jackie's message to Scarecrow as he walked out of Jackie's home and back out into the cold Gotham air.
Jackie closed and locked her door, leaning against it as held her non-existent baby bump.
The girl above him gasped for air, moaning as she rubbed her skin as she rubbed against his shaft as he looked up at her bored.
Crane sighed as he held her hips as she moved up against him when there came a knock at the door, Crane quickly looked to the door and pushed the groupie away.
"Come in." Crane said, sitting up in bed.
The groupie covered her herself as Carlisle entered the bedroom "We have a problem." He remarked.
Crane sighed as he grabbed his boxers and left the bed, walking towards Carlisle who tried to keep his distance from the bed and the groupie.
"What?" Crane asked.
Carlisle sighed "Ms. Gibbard refused." He said simply.
Crane cocked an eye brow "What do you mean refused?" he asked.
"She said that if you wanted her, you needed to come and get her." Carlisle remarked.
Crane nodded "So be it." He said.
Carlisle agreed as he nodded, turning away and nearly exiting the room when Crane grabbed his arm "Oh, and one more thing." He said.
"Yes, sir?" he asked.
Crane leaned in closer "Please take *her* to a cell, I'll use her for experiments use later." He said, turning away to retrieve his clothes.
Carlisle walked towards the bed while Crane finished getting dressed "And when you're done with her, come with me" Crane said, walking out of his bed chamber.
Jackie hummed the tune on her IPod as she fixed herself a midnight snack; she wrapped her cardigan closer around her body as she turned the stove off.
"All she's got is the way he looks; many miles on the other side; he had overheard her choice; and he delved off her Cliffside…" Jackie sang as she turned around to grab a bowl when there came a knock at her door.
Jackie turned down her IPod down and cautiously looked at the door, she took a deep breath as she walked to her front door and looked through her peep hole.
She huffed as she saw Crane standing in front of her door "What do you want?" she asked.
"I want you to let me in." Crane said.
Jackie shook her head "No."
"I'm coming in either way…might as well open the door, before I knock it down." Crane told her.
Jackie huffed "What do you want, really?" she asked.
"Carlisle gave me your message…and I'm coming to collect." He said.
Jackie silently screamed in frustration as she unlocked her door and opened it wide "What do you want with me!? You know, most guys would have run for the hills if their baby mama told them to go for it!" she yelled at him.
Crane walked into the home and smiled playfully at Jackie before he pricked her with a needle and pushed a sedative into her skin.
"Goodnight, Jackie." He said with a smug look on his face.
Jackie slid onto the wood floor as she gently passed out "Mother fucker…" she managed to get out before passing out on the floor.
Crane looked down at her for a second "Carlisle, get her in the car." He said, walking down the hallway towards Jackie's room.
