Sorry it's short…but college is hard! Though I think I may have found some time to upload more frequently so look forward to it!

Day One:

When Scarecrow saw Rhiannun laying there, he froze. He couldn't help but look at her stretched out body and her closed eyes. A new emotion trickled at the edge of his consciousness before he pushed it away and leapt into action. He pulled out a syringe filled with something he had created to slow the spread of poison. He injected her then carried her back to his hideout hoping he would be able to save her in time.

As soon as he got back he gently laid Rhiannun on his operation table and switched to Crane. The doctor then proceeded to take samples of Ivy's poison and work on the antidote as fast as he could. Inside his mind scarecrow growled, "You better save her."

Crane spoke aloud as he mixed substances together, "I only hope I can."

They both knew the chances were slim.

Day Two:

Scarecrow sat next to Rhiannun, watching her breath as the machine hooked up to her monitored her heartbeat. She looked better than she did yesterday, but she was still greatly weakened. He was livid at Ivy and many ways to slowly kill her consumed him. But he knew, that at this moment, he didn't have time to be angry as he was too busy worrying about the unconscious woman in his bed.

Now it was only a matter of time before she was healed and would wake up…if she woke up. Crane had told him that if she didn't wake up within six days, she never would.

Scarecrow refused to acknowledge the facts and until she woke, he would not leave her side.

Day Three:

The poison was now entirely flushed out of her system. Rhiannun wouldn't die, but the days were counting down and she only had three days left to wake up.

Scarecrow still had not left her side: he hadn't eaten, he hadn't shaved, and he hadn't slept. The only thing he would allow himself to do was use the restroom because that was unavoidable.

He came back and sat in the chair he had placed beside her bed. He continued to watch the steady rise and fall of her chest as her heart monitor let out the steady beat of her heart. He then realized he had never really taken the time to look at her. Sure, he had observed her, looked into her eyes, and knew what she looked like, but he had never really looked.

So he did look. He honestly looked at every inch of her face, every shade of color in her hair, the slight blush on her cheeks that looked so pleasant on her alabaster skin.

He continued and noticed every little thing and his breath was taken away.

Day Four:

Crane, who had been silent up until then, allowing his counterpart to play the part of the agonized lover, finally forced scarecrow to eat something. They were both hungry but Scarecrow was quite obsessed with his cause to abstain from the world until Rhiannun awoke.

Crane was also amazed that Scarecrow had managed to stay awake this whole time. He was definitely pushing his limits and Crane knew he would have to sleep soon.

Scarecrow still stayed beside the sleeping woman. He continued to watched her as he waited for her to awake. He couldn't help but give her a small kiss on the forehead. He took her hand as he lay his head on the mattress and before he could help himself, he fell asleep.

Day Five:When Dr. Crane woke up he put on his glasses and checked Rhiannun's vitals. In his mind, Scarecrow was sound asleep and would probably remain so for a few days. He thought to himself, "My friend, you really pushed yourself this time."

He was just about to leave the room when he noticed Rhiannun's heart beat start to quicken. He smiled for he knew she was about to wake.

He sat down beside her and taking her hand, started to rub it to make her mind focus on the real world. She slowly started to move…

Rhiannun felt something squeeze her hand and she wanted to see what it was. She struggled to open her eyes but they were so heavy and the lights were so bright that they caused her eyes to sting.

She gave up on opening her eyes so she let go of the hand and with the person's help sat up. Only then did she slowly open her eyes and stared at the blurry figure before her, "Scarecrow?"

Her vision cleared moments later and she saw Dr. Crane. He smiled slightly, "Not quite; Scarecrow wore himself out taking care of you. He finally crashed last night after four days."

She looked down at her hands as tears threatened to drop, "Four days. I still can't believe Ivy did that...just left me there."

Crane pushed his glasses up, "Oh, yes, that reminds me. Happy belated birthday."

Rhiannun looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you for remembering, even though I know you memorized my file…it's still nice to know that someone cares at least a little. No one ever has."

Crane frowned a bit, "Surely your parents…"

Rhiannun interrupted, "I never had parents Dr. Crane. I was born in the narrows and my mother was an addict; They found me, abandoned, after she had tried to sell me for drug money.

They never found her and no one ever came looking for me. I was in a few foster homes but none of them kept me long because the new I was a 'crack baby'. They always thought I'd go bad no matter what I did. My last foster family was the Mcmurphy's so I go by their name. They were real nice and wanted to adopt me but the system wouldn't let them.

Finally, I ended up in a girls home, but even there, no one supported me or really cared. I wanted to prove them all I could have a life so I studied and did well academically. I was able to skip a grade junior year and because I had a lot of AP credits, I was able to skip my freshman year of college and get a degree in business. After that I got a job working at Sonar Corp, where I met my ex-fiancé…and, well, you know the rest of the story."

Crane continued to frown, "That wasn't on your record."

Rhiannun laughed a bit, "Do you think any good standing business would hire me if they knew I was from the narrows?"

Crane raised an eyebrow, "I suppose not."

They were both awkwardly silent before Rhiannun started giggling. Crane continued to raise his eyebrows at her, "May I ask what's so funny?"

Rhiannun beckoned him over and then touched the side of his face causing him to flush slightly. She giggled again, "Doctor…You're all scruffy!"

He looked into her eyes and said in a low quiet voice, "I shall go shave then."

She watched him leave the room and she noticed something in her felt weird…almost like butterflies.
