Becky was calm. It had taken a while. But the tears were over. Her face expressionless.
She sat on the straw matress, and stared into space. It didn't matter.
She was a prisoner of the scarecrow, she was a wanted felon, and her chances of escape were practically nil.
But the situation wasn't completely beyond her control. At Wayne Enterprises she'd been frozen with fear. She's spent the last however many weeks in a constant state of nervousness, fear just below the surface.
Not any more.
Becky's new policy was indifference. If she didn't react, if she didn't panic. Then she'd be calm enough to notice any openings or oppurtunities.
She didn't care whether or not the police came looking for her. She didn't care if the batman was on her side. The only thing that mattered, was her survival. Whatever it took. She wouldn't become a criminal, but she had no intention of being a helpless civillian either.
The next time Crane took her out. She'd run.
She would not let him beat her. She was no fool. She could do this. She could survive.
She could win.
Even if she had to kill Crane to do it.
She didn't care.
Jonathon Crane watched Becky through the monitors. His expression was clinical, cold. Becky's face was empty. She had conquered her fear, and Jonathon was pleased.
Granted ths would make her harder to control, and she was more likely to attempt escape now that she had moved past her hysteria. But it was a big step in preparing her for her future role as his mistress.
The mind was a delicate thing. Alternatively impossible to predict and easy to manipulate. Full of contradictions, traits both common and unique.
A persons psyche changed as they grew. The mind of a child was very different from when they grew up, minute changes were constant. But a complete personality shift was rare. This was what was needed to create the mistress he needed.
A complete change of Beckys morals, her thougt processes, her loyalties, would not happen instantly. It would take time. There would be stages.
Indifference was the first step.
A.N It took forever, it's not very good. It's very short.
I'm not happy but it's all I've got.
Please comment fave etc
