Don't leave me hanging on the telephone!
"I don't know if I like this."
"It's only while I find my feet, once I get enough money and I find a place and my jobs going well and I'm comfortably in it, I'll move out."
"Still," Edward shrugged as he held the phone to his ear, sitting in Arkham phone hall, were patients could ring their families or friends from outside if they were good. "I don't want him thinking he can move on my turf."
Mist laughed on the other end of the phone. "Your turf huh? Since when did I began a piece of land?"
"You know what I mean."
"Just calm yourself Edward, there's no one else I'd rather be with you then you," Mist paused a second as she glanced over the edge of the sofa to see Jason pulling himself up on a bar as he did his morning exorcises. "Then again…" she trailed off. "The eye candy is father enjoyable."
"You keep talking like that I'm gonna stop calling you Sphinx and start calling you Kugar," Jason stated as he pulled himself up again and Mist chuckled slightly before she lay back on the sofa, resting her hand on her stomach.
"You are joking aren't you?" Edward called down the phone.
"Of course I am, you idiot," Mist laughed. "I'm twice his age… I think.. at least I hope… wait. How old am I again?"
Edward shook his head. "I miss you," he muttered. "Everyone else here is so boring."
"What about your BFF?"
"Jonathan?"
"Yes the chop shop Doctor."
"Dear god, don't ever say that to his face, he will not take that lightly."
Jonathan, who was sitting with Edward reading, glanced up at him and narrowed his eyes.
"What did your adoring harpy from hell call me this time?"
Edward sighed and waved him off.
"Will you two ever get along?"
"Probably not."
"No," Jonathan stated as he glared at him.
Edward glared back. "I wasn't talking to you."
"Is he there?" Mist asked and Edward could practically hear the smile.
"Yes, he's here."
"Hey Strawman!" Mist shouted down the phone and Edward winced as Jonathan narrowed his eyes. "Have you helped Dorothy find the Emerald city yet?"
In the background Jason sniggered as Jonathan narrowed his eyes.
"Are you done?" Edward questioned as he put the phone back to his ear and grabbed Jonathan' wrist as he went to leave and pulled him back to sit down at the table with him, before Jonathan slapped his hand away and went back to reading.
Mist smirked. "For now," she teased before wincing and making a slight gasp.
Edward shot up in excitement. "Are they kicking?"
She rolled her eyes. "You know I don't know if I should be creeped out or amused by your excitement of our twins causing me bodily harm. I think I might settle with creepy."
Edward rolled his eyes this time. "Come now my mystery, even you have to admit it's rather exciting and interesting to feel the little ones kick."
"At least you know they're still alive and haven't been poisoned by the venom causing through your veins!" Jonathan yelled so Mist could hear him.
She narrowed her eyes.
"Was that really necessary, Jon?" Edward sighed as he glared slightly at his best friend who grinned back at him.
"What it is true. Mist can be a… vile woman."
"At least I didn't toxin the entire city!"
"At least I don't try to kill the ones I love whenever I have a hissy fit!"
"That's because you don't have anyone!"
"Okay enough," Edward shooed Jonathan away before turning slightly. "Mist, my mystery calm down, think of the little ones."
"Sorry, it's just… couldn't you have been friends with anyone but him?"
"I don't understand why you two don't get along."
"Because she's a damn harpy who delights in teasing and causing me pain, does that anger your question?" Jonathan snarled.
"Again wasn't talking to you."
"I swear to god I'm going to slit the throat of that demented fear monger at some point."
"I'd rather you didn't do that."
"Why is he even with you?"
Edward sighed and leaned back in his seat crossing his arms. Honestly this would be so much easier for him if Mist and Jonathan got along. He didn't see or understand why they didn't like each other, he could see the good qualities in both of them, why couldn't they see it in each other?
"Because this place is rather creepy and whilst I do not entertain the notion of ghosts being real… the psychos in here are. So it's nice to have someone to be around."
"And you picked Jonathan Crane out of the lot of them to be the guy you'd take down with you to the creepiest part of the asylum?"
"Yes…" Edward trailed off and looked over to where Jonathan had been sitting only to find the place empty. "What the hell…?" he trailed off looking around before turning and then leaping backwards as he found Jonathan not an inch from his face. "Jesus Christ Jonathan!" Edward snapped as Jonathan burst into a fit of laughter.
"Sorry," he chuckled. "Did I startle you?"
"Just get back over there you demented bag of straw!"
Jonathan walked round back to his seat still chuckling to himself.
"Now can you see why I don't like Jonathan Crane?" Mist called from down the phone.
"Beginning to," Edward mumbled before glanced at the time on the clock on the wall in front of him. "I'm going to have to go."
"Okay…" Mist sighed sadly. "If you must."
"I must my mystery, as much as I don't want to," Jonathan rolled his eyes at the antics. "I love you," Edward whispered before glancing at Jonathan who did his best impression of a kissing face, not that Jonathan Crane was very good at such a thing since he didn't know what a real one was like to begin with.
Edward glared at him before he rolled his eyes.
"I should hope you love me," Mist laughed. "I am having you kids… again."
"Yes, well I do love you," Edward laughed along ignoring Jonathan as he rolled his eyes and pointed a finger at his open mouth and made a gag face.
"I love you too," Mist smiled. "Bye."
"Adios my Mystery," Edward smiled as he hung up the phone before it turned into a glare as he faced his friend. "What is your problem?!"
"A lot of things."
"Really, you don't say?"
Jonathan got to his feet and closed his book as he looked at Edward down his nose. "Next time, could you please refrain from brining me along for your phone calls. They really are quite…disgustingly sweet."
"Well, I suppose when you're going out with the venomous venus fly trap that is Poison Ivy you would not be used to sweet things."
Jonathan whirled around and punched Edward square on the nose, the other reeling back and falling to the floor holding his nose.
"Don't ever speak like that about her again."
"You do it all the time!" Edward yelled before he grabbed at his nose. "And for the love of god would you stop punching me, do you seriously want to break my nose?"
"I'm with her in a relationship, or whatever it is we have, that means it's different," Jonathan narrowed his eyes. "As for breaking your nose, I'll stop hitting you when you stop saying and doing stupid things."
"If my nose gets broken one more time, the Doctor said I'll speak in a naisely tone for the rest of my life!" Edward narrowed his eyes but he was smirking slightly. "And if you think I sound annoying now, think how annoying I'll be when I sound like that?"
Jonathan scowled. "I may just do it anyway. More to annoy Mist since it doesn't matter to me."
"Why wouldn't it matter to you?"
"Because half the time I don't listen to you anyway."
"Why am I even friends with you?"
"I have no idea."
"Yeah? Well that makes two of us."
"I should certainly hope so since theres only us two here, if you said any other number I would be worried that you were quite delusional."
"Shut up, Jonathan."
THE END.
Note: I had so much fun writing this :D Honestly can't tell you how much fun it was to explore this group, which in After Arkham, this group may be a recurring theme.
Mist and Jonathan don't like each other, like at all and it always puts dear old Eddie in an awkward position, to say I'm a riddler fan girl I do like torturing the poor riddle man XD
who else is excited for Gotham season 4? I know I am! :D Can't wait to see Scarecrow, I've missed the fear monger from season 1 and such a cliff hanger it's gonna be cool to see where he is now plus the actor who plays him is kinda cute, or is that just me? XD
