Merry Christmas Everybody! Due to situations beyond my control, I am feeling…A lack of Christmas Spirit so tonight I shall watch Svengoolie, after writing this Christmas Gift to you my Fans…In this Chapter the Heroes find hope while the Villains find the opposite.

Jonathan was blushing a bit after realizing what he had done. "I…I was sleep singing wasn't I?"

"I presume this is something that regularly happens in your universe?" Don asked

"Well…Not regularly…" Jonathan said, he mopped his brow, "I…Had this horrible dream…I was being tormented by this Mutant Insect and the only way I could get him to leave me alone was if I sang him to sleep."

"As someone who hates bugs…" Said Raph "I can sympathize…We get the feeling you've sung this song before."

"I have." Jonathan said

"Who is this Evie?" April asked

Jonathan rubbed his arm shyly "She was both…My Therapist and the one person who had showed me kindness my whole life…We knew each other in school before I became a criminal…" Jonathan wasn't sure how much of this story he wanted to tell "After some time of being my Therapist at Arkham…We fell in love… But I couldn't resist one last attempt at a Caper…But…That Bolton! He was ready to kill me…Evie saved me…She took the bullet that was meant for me…After a long time I didn't know what to do…I started drinking…Days past by like a dream…Finally unable to bare my guilt any longer I screamed out to the Heavens that I was sorry and if I had anyway of turning back time…After I felt no immediate catharsis…I decided it was time to end my wretched life…I took a knife…Slashed my own wrists…Apparently Batman won't have even one of his enemies destroy themselves he quickly took me to Gotham hospital…As they raced to save my life…I was in a strange dream state…I remember I was laying naked in a cold dark place…And I heard Evie talking to me…At first I assumed this was an ordinary dream and continued to wait for death…Evie's voice became clearer…And I saw a shining light above me…Evie was hovering above me surrounded by the shining light…It felt too real to be a mere dream…I began to apologize to Evie but she…She told me she was not angry at me and all she wanted me to do was live…Live and be happy…I had no idea how I was to do that without her…I begged her not to leave me again…Then Evie…Sang me a song…To which the song you heard me sing was my reply to…When I woke up…I was in a bed…On a spaceship headed to another Planet…Apparently during some point during my descent into despair Joker had apparently stolen an Atomic Bomb attempted to drop it on Gotham…Apparently that was when the rest of Planet drew the line with Gotham and had all us Rogues sent to Alderbaren…The Penal Colony Planet."

"I can't help but agree with the rest of Earth…" Don said "Exile to another planet was the least they could have done."

"During the ride over…The other rogues learned of what happened to me…Pamela took pity on me…She came over to me…And comforted me…She knew she could never replace Evie in my heart…But she would be my friend, my companion to this strange other world." Jonathan sighed wistfully "That's the long and the short of it."

Casey came over and wrapped one muscular arm around Jonathan's beanpole body "Dude." Casey said "I never thought much about Crooks bein' anything but Crooks but after hearin' your story…I see that even Crooks can change."

Jonathan chuckled a bit nervously but deep down he realized Casey was one jock who wouldn't beat him up.

Meanwhile in a Cabin in the Woods, Eleanor and Edward Nygma had passionate sex before falling asleep. At 3AM Nygma woke up still basking in the euphoric glow he was sweating profusely from both the intense sex and that the bed was so warm. (The bed was so warm partly because a Wooly Sheep was wrapping her arms around him with her head resting on his chest)

Nygma sighed with pleasure and stroked the head of curly white hair…His hand reached her ear…It was long and floppy…And didn't feel like a Human ear at all. That sent a shock down Edward's spine…He continued to feel that ear for a few moments, then he looked down at what he was sharing his bed with…Eleanor couldn't maintain her Human illusion while she was asleep and if someone was to touch her and feel something that obviously wasn't Human then the illusion would be broken.

Edward looked at the Creature resting her head on his chest with silent horror for a few moments…Then he took a deep breath and screamed with absolute terror!

The Scream woke up Eleanor with a start…For a few moments she was completely disoriented, as Edward scrambled out of bed shouting "Don't touch me! Don't touch me you freak!"

Then Eleanor realized to her horror he was no longer hypnotized and had seen her true form while she was asleep!

"Edward!" Eleanor pleaded "Please listen to me! I can explain!"

"What is to explain?!" Edward asked furiously "You're a talking sheep!"

"I know." Eleanor said sadly

"I…" Edward wasn't sure what he was going to do "I…You do not know who you have trifled with Freak!"

"Edward!" Eleanor ran forward and clung to his arm "Please don't be angry! I didn't ask to be this way! None of us did!"

Her blue eyes welled up with tears…For a moment Edward felt his heart soften…Then he quickly felt shock and horror again…"Get away from me you FREAK!" He screamed pulling away from her. He ran out of the cabin, he picked up his clothes which he had left in the doorway and for half an hour screamed and fumed in the woods, whilst Eleanor wept.

But! At that same time Marzipan woke up from a dream…She quickly got dressed and went downstairs, that was when the Turtles were arriving at the Waldorf Astoria.

"Leonardo!" She meowed, hopping from foot to foot like an excited kitten. "I had this dream!"

At this point, Leo knew to listen

"What was your dream?" He said

"I heard about the Nursery Massacre last night…" Marzipan said "And I couldn't help but ask myself…Is it possible any Cubs escaped…Well I last night I saw in my head…Like a Baker's Dozen of them escape the attack and run…I saw them run to a place with lots of trees and rubble."

"You mean…" Leo was trembling

"It means that some of those cubs could possibly still be alive!" Marzipan said "Follow me!"

Merry Christmas everybody!
