Rachel sat strapped to the old electro-shock chair. The air in the basement was filled with Jonathan's hallucinogen, and Rachel could not avoid inhaling it. There were two people in front of her, one dressed as a scarecrow, and the other as a sparrow. They were asking her questions she could not understand, her head was too clouded. Every time she did not answer one of the questions, the sparrow would push a button on the chair, and since it was not hooked up properly, a painful jolt of electricity shot through her.

She just sat there, trying to remember what had happened. all Rachel could remember was walking into a room, and realizing it was a basement. That was it. "It's a simple question, Ms. Dawes" the scarecrow said in a horrifying voice. "How long has it been since you left Gotham?". The fog in her mind was beginning to leave. Gotham City. Rachel tried to concentrate. When did I leave? "A month ago" she finally sputtered. "Good" the scarecrow said. "Now when was the last time you saw the batman?"

Rachel's thoughts were so scattered she could not think of hardly anything. It seemed every time her mind started to clear, it would quickly fog over again. After a minute or so the sparrow pushed the button, and Rachel was shocked again. Where did the sparrow come from? She tried to remember. I walked in the basement and... there was Jonathan...Jonathan!...Scarecrow! He's the Scarecrow! Her mind clouded over again. She grunted from the pain of the shocks.

Suddenly she noticed her coat was thrown on the ground beside her. If I could just get to it...Another shock. "She can dish it out, but she can't take it!" the sparrow said. Then Rachel remembered. Sparrow. The patient had said he was Sparrow. Someone had said Sparrow was one of the town heroes. Who said it? "When was the last time you saw Batman!" Scarecrow demanded. Batman...Bruce. I talked to Bruce before I left. But when was the last time I saw Batman? She knew she would get shocked again if she did not answer soon, so she blurted "Right before I moved". "So he's still in Gotham City?" Scarecrow asked. Rachel nodded. Her mind slowly cleared and she somehow managed to get one arm free without her captors noticing.

The gruesome pair were talking quietly to each other, so Rachel quickly freed herself and darted for her coat. She was immediately knocked out by Sparrow's elbow in her face. She fell to the ground, and her thoughts became scattered again. Sparrow...Dr. Crane...No, Dr. Crane is Scarecrow...Her husband...Layla. Sparrow picked up the coat to see what Rachel wanted. A taser gun fell out of the pocket. The villain's eyes lit up. Rachel tried to escape again, but Sparrow shot her with the taser, and she fell to the ground again. Scarecrow hovered over her. "Good-night" he said, pushing a button on a disk he had in his hand. A white powder shot out, and right when it hit Rachel's lungs she was out.

The police found Rachel in an alley an hour later, and after realizing she was okay, they took her to the police station for questioning. She told the police inspector what had happened. "The Cranes" the inspector repeated. "What a pair. We've always known they were up to something, but we can never prove it. Poisoning the patients!...By the time we realized Jonathan Crane had escaped from Arkham, Dr. Johnson had re-evaluated him and said he was fine. Then Dr. Johnson went crazy, so we started investigating him again, and look what we found". He handed the DA an old newspaper article. It had both of the Cranes' picture on it, but the headline said: "Teen Patient Kidnapped by Doctor". Her jaw dropped. The inspector continued "We've been trying to catch those two for years now. If I know them, they're miles from here by now"

Jonathan and Layla dumped Rachel in an alley, then jumped in the car, driving away from their troubles once again. "Where are we going this time?" Layla asked. "Gotham city" he said. "Are you sure you're ready for that?" she asked. Jonathan smiled at his wife. "Yes, I'm sure"
