AN: I'll be honest here-I spent a good part of Batman Begins going, 'ohh, pretty!'
SwordStitcher-If Kitty was as annoying as Harley, I'd be glad of the peace.
Voodoo-Mutant-Child-Joker would not have been pleased.
She thinks it might have been his eyes that first caught her attention. It must have been-if she hadn't asked for the problem number, she wouldn't have paid him much mind. He'd been tucked up in the back of the class, apparently trying to disappear into the wall. But she had to ask him, and he'd given her that sharp look.
If she was going to be honest, his eyes were creepy. They had no business being that blue, none at all. She'd vowed then and there to leave the boy with the scary eyes alone. He was probably going to be a serial killer or something.
Shame he had to offer to rescue her, though, because then things spiraled out of control.
Falcone doesn't like to admit it to himself, but he doesn't like the director. He looks fragile enough-a regular stick of a man-but something about him is just off. Maybe it's those eyes. If this goes wrong, he's having those gouged out.
He isn't at all surprised when one of his boys comes back with stories of Arkham nights, of a Scarecrow that sets even the most hardened inmates to shrieking. He knew there was something wrong! And now he can get whatever he wants out of the little man with the scary eyes.
It doesn't occur to him that maybe he shouldn't bring it up while he's in a padded room with no bodyguards.
Rachel Dawes has never been more tempted to engage in childish behavior. Doctor Crane is, without a doubt, the most annoying man she has ever had to deal with. Ever.
She's willing to admit that he creeps her out. It always feels like he's probing around inside her head. Maybe he is. Those eyes just aren't natural, not at all.
She tries very hard not to show it, but she's relieved when he finally disappears from view. If she can get him put away, she'll be thrilled. And she'll sleep better at night, knowing that he can't see inside her head anymore.
If they didn't get him things, he would have worn contacts. Unfortunately, they'd gotten him more than a few things. In college, he could usually get a discount if the clerk was female. (Although a few males had done the same.) Later, in Arkham, he'd successfully convinced the night nurses that he was just working late, and that he had nothing to do with the rash of terrified patients. Nope, nothing at all. Hell, he'd even managed to convince the prison worker that Falcone was insane, despite the lack of screaming until he went in.
But oh, they made his life miserable at other times. He was lucky Kitty wasn't a jealous woman.
THE END
