Chapter 21
First Person POV: Alyson
I was not made for running. I was an heiress not an athlete, not that heiresses can't be athletes it's just I'm not one. There was already a stitch in my side and my lungs weren't working fast enough. After we made it out of the building we had run about thirty seconds before we lost Edward and Dawn. Either fortunately or unfortunately Batman had brought Robin with him and the Dark Knight went after Dawn and Edward sending me, Jervis, and Jonathan a little birdy to run from. Really, you would think that Batman would have run after us, I mean, two rogues were better than one...
What's going on?
I gasped as my arm was nearly pulled out of it's socket as Jervis pulled me to the right into an abandoned building and from there all three of us squeezed into a supply closet. As misfortune would have it the way I was practically flung into the closet after Jonathan I ended up with my facing the professor and as soon a Jervis joined us I was pressed into his chest. I could feel my cheeks flushing. This was going to be awkward.
Where am I?
Third Person POV: Crane
'Well now this is an interesting turn of events, eh, Johnny," laughed Scarecrow as they could hear Robin enter the building.
'Oh, shut-up' Jonathan hissed as Alyson shuddered against him. Her actions back at the apartment surprised him, he had expected her to act like Dawn and look all hopeful that the flying rodent and his partner would save them, but she looked conflicted. Jonathan could feel Jervis glaring at him, but it wasn't as if he had purposefully arranged them like that.
'Unless, you did subconsciously,' sneered Scarecrow, really not liking how close the girl was to them, he wasn't afraid of the little man but the Mad Hatter was quite possessive and a little nerve-wracking when it came to his Alices.
'You are quite tiring and idiotic.' Jonathan heard Alyson's breathing change. 'Oh, look, it seem's we will be having even more fun.'
First Person POV: Alyson
'What's happening?'
This was so awkward, I didn't know what to do. I was so confused, why hadn't I attempted to escape when Batman came crashing into the apartment? All of this could have been over. I could have gone back and... and been the simi-perfect little Heiress again. A pathetic little girl who went for a degree in psychology just to piss of her parents.
'Why?'
I winced. What was that voice. It sounded so familiar but it wasn't coming from anywhere. I was starting to have trouble breathing and my head felt like it was being pounded by a rock. I could feel my legs weakening, Crane stiffened sensing my unbalance. This couldn't be happening now. Not now, not like this. I felt Jervis place a hand over my mouth, probably thinking that I was going to scream. I clawed at his hand, my lungs were on fire and my vision was starting to go fuzzy. The last thing I felt before my mind went blank was two hands holding me up and one still around my mouth.

It is not necessary but I do set up what will happen in the future better and if something I write seems as if it has come out of the blue you may need to re-read the previous chapters.
