Saved by shadows.

Luna and Lucifer raced up the steps towards the ward that was holding Jonathan.

Luna was quicker then her brother, who was trying to get a grip on which voice he should listen to and who's he should try and avoid.

"Doctor!" Luna shouted as she ran up to the man she had seen talking about Jonathan before.

"Luna," the doctor frowned when he saw Lucifer running up behind her. "I never knew you had a brother…"

"I can save Jonnythan!" Luna cried as she grabbed the doctor's hand. "I can save him!"

"What do you mean?"

"My blood," Luna explained. "The yellow stuff didn't work on me, Doctor Crane said it was because of my blood, he said it wouldn't activate the hallucinations."

The Doctor's eyes widened before he quickly stood up. "Luna that… may work but.. it depends what your blood type is."

"Well… it's black blood, the colour is black," she paused before taping her finger and frowning. "I don't think Jonnythan's bloods black."

"No, no," the Doctor laughed shaking his head. "I didn't mean that. But… I guess we could give it a go, this way come on," he beckoned the children to follow and they did until they walked past Jonathan's room. Lui insisted that he stayed also pointing out that he didn't like needles.

The Doctor and Luna left Lui with Jonathan, who was actually asleep for once and Luna sat down on one of the grey plastic chair, rolling her sleeve up to show her skin.

The Doctor prepped the needle before he plunged it into Luna's skin, she winced slightly and a few tears ran down her face before the Doctor took it out and placed a small plaster on the wound.

"I'll get this down to blood works, we'll get it sorted out right now, I promise you, he'll be awake by the end of the day."

Luna smiled and stared at him. "You're sure?"

The Doctor smiled and nodded. "I take it you'd like to stay here, correct?"

"Yes, please. Yes I would love to!"

The Doctor nodded and smiled before directing Luna to the waiting room were Lucifer was already sitting and smiling at her with hopeful eyes.

"They say they can do it and fix Jonathan he'll be cured!"

Lui's eyes widened and he smiled. "You mean it?"

"Yeah, Lui! Yeah we do!" cried Luna and she smiled and hugged him.

Edward smiled and looked past everyone staring intently at Kristen Kringle. Should he go and speak to her? Tell her how he really felt?

Edward smiled and went to walk forward when suddenly Mist was standing in front of him.

"Mist?" Edward blinked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see if you've made any progress in ghost blades case."

"Umm… no, no I haven't…"

"Oh come on, I gave you more information then what you actually needed to solve it."

Edward frowned and shook his head. "It's not that Mist, I have to prove it."

Mist rolled her eyes. "Of course you do, well see ya Edward, got a job to do and stuff."

Luna was pacing up and down a deep frown was set on her face.

"Luna, he'll be okay," Lui whispered as he stared up at his sister. "I know Jonny will be okay."

"But it's been hours Lui!" Luna cried as she turned to face him. "Hours. What if he isn't okay… what if something goes wrong and it makes him worse, way if-,"

"Luna, Lui, there's someone who'd like to see you," the Doctor said smiling at them both.

Luna and Lucifer looked at each other before they got to their feet and wondered into Jonathan's room to find him sitting up and staring at them before he smiled that smile they'd missed so much.

"Jonnythan!" Luna shouted as she came running over to him, climbing onto the bed with Lui not far behind her.

They both gave Jonathan their best bone crushing hugs and he laughed before he hugged back and then he stared at them both and smiled.

"I've missed you two," he whispered as he ran a hand through Luna's hair and placed a hand on Lui's shoulder. "It's good to see you both and know you're okay…" he trailed off and frowned. "Where's my Dad?"

Luna and Lui frowned before looking away and that was all Jonathan needed to know what had happened.

"Oh," he whispered before biting his lip and letting tears fall down his face before he wiped them away and began to get out of bed.

"Jonny you can't leave!"

"Yes I can," Jonathan whispered as he climbed out of bed and grabbed his folded clothes. He couldn't believe they were still here. "I can leave and I will."

"No," Luna shook her head. "You can't. It's too dangerous."

"Luna I'll be fine!" Jonathan snapped before he frowned and shook his head. "I'm… sorry I didn't mean to snap like that."

Yes you did, Jonny boy! You and I both knew that you did and we both know you've been awake longer then what the nurses and doctors think you have… you almost snapped out of the fear coma instantly.

Jonathan shook his head and ran a hand through his hair at the voice that seemed to be laughing right next to his ear.

He'd heard it a few moments after he snapped out of the coma but he'd kept silent and waited until he thought it would be a good idea to let the nurses and doctors know he was okay.

He quickly pulled his clothes on before he glanced at Luna and Lucifer. "How have you two been?"

"Stealing," Luna answered honestly before she frowned. "It was the only thing we could do and it was easy for us."

Jonathan frowned and shook his head. How long had he been out? He needed to get his father's research and look through it, he needed to try and understand what drove him to think he could cure fear.

But we both know you can't cure fear, you have to embrace it don't you Jonny? Why don't we teach Gotham to embrace fear too?

"Shut up," Jonathan hissed under his breath before he looked at Lui and saw him frowning.

Could Lui hear the voice too? Jonathan hoped he couldn't. He prayed he couldn't hear the voice.

He picked his coat up and frowned when he saw a sleeve had ripped, great because that's just what he needed.

Lui and Luna grinned at each other at the sight of the ripped coat, Lui fumbling through his bag to get to what he wanted.

Jonathan saw their smiles and raised a curious eyebrow. "What are you two up to?" he questioned before Lui pulled out a brown package tied with red orange string.

"We saw it, in a shop window and no one was buying it so…we took it, for you," Luna explained with a shrug like it was the most normal and common thing to do.

Jonathan felt his eyebrow raise further at her confession. Seems the brother and sister had been on the streets for a while if they were thinking like this.

He took the package and began to open it before his eyes widened and he turned to the his only two friends in the wide world and he smiled. "It's perfect," he whispered before stood and pulled the long brown leather, very much like Luna's and Lui's in style except the material was leather and it didn't have a hood.

He pulled it on and looked over at them smiling. "Lets go."

They wondered out of his hospital room only to be stopped by the doctor.

"Jonathan, I can't let you go," the Doctor said with a frown. "I've called the police they'll be hear to talk to you.

Uhg… do we have to? Why don't you tell this guy were to stick it? Huh Jonny?

Jonathan actually agreed with the voice and he narrowed his eyes at the Doctor. "Then call them back and tell them not to bother, I'm coming to them to collect my father's belongings."

"I can not let you just go out of there, you've been through a traumatic experience.

No kidding, Sherlock. Who does this guy think he is, our councillor or something? Speaking of, if you are now listing to me, you might need one.

Jonathan clenched his fists at the voices taunts before he pushed past the Doctor and Luna and Lucifer followed. "Believe me Doctor, I shall be fine."

He left the hospital with his two companions flanking him as he walked to the GCPD all the while the annoying voice would constantly pipe up and tease him more and more.

He just wanted it to go away, it was saying things that weren't right, that were morally wrong on so many levels.

He kept glancing at Lui watching as the boy's face would fall deeper into a frown every time the voice spoke to him. Obviously he could hear it.

Not what Jonathan needed right now.

As they walked up the steps into the GCPD, Luna and Lucifer got closer to him and looked down at them and gave them a comforting smile. "You two will be safe with me, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."

They smiled and nodded back to him before Jonathan smiled and stood up, walking into the GCPD.

As he entered the main part of the department, two Detectives came over to him and instantly Luna and Lui both hid behind him.

"Jonathan Crane," one that was clean shaven and looked slightly younger spoke up as he held his hand out for Jonathan to shake. "It's good to see you're okay."

Luna and Lucifer peeked around Jonathan and recognised the two Detectives standing in front of them as the people who killed Jonathan's Dad but saved Jonathan.

"Thank you… umm?"

"Detective James Gordon. Myself and my partner here, Detective Bullock," the gruffer policeman gave him a nod. "Were first on the scene and we got you to the hospital."

Jonathan smiled. "Well, from what I have heard I owe you my life," he smiled and looked at Bullock and nodded. "Thank you, for saving me." And for killing our Dad. the voice added in privacy of Jonathan's own mind.

"From what I heard the Doctors said you'd still be in the coma."

"Yes well… I had some help with that," Jonathan smiled and Luna pocked her head around him, with Lucifer doing the same thing.

"Who's your little friends?" asked Bullock as he stared at Luna and Lui.

"Well, they are just that Detective, they're my little friends," Jonathan smirked before he pulled the two to the front. "Luna and Lui Fright. My two only friends."

"It's very mice to meet you," Gordon spoke with a smile of kindness. "And it's good that they have someone big to look after them."

Jonathan smiled. "Yes… and it's good to have someone small to look after me."

Okay, Jonny can we skip the pleasantries please! Lets get to the point of why we are here!

Jonathan rolled his eyes at the voice before he smiled polightly at the two Detectives. "I was wondering if I would be aloud to collect my fathers belongings… I know he was a bad person after what has done but.. he's still my father."

Luna and Lucifer glanced at each other in concern. Something was off with Jonathan, something was very off.

Lucifer glanced up at him as the voice sounded again and he frowned.

The voice didn't sound like a very nice person, he sounded mean and cruel.

He sounded like he was trying to take Jonathan over and he then would start talking about fear and Gotham.

"Of course," Detective Gordon nodded and smiled. "Umm, follow me this way and I'll take you to our evidence department. I'm afraid you'll have to deal with a very… unique individual."

I wonder what he fears, say Jonny, shall we find out?

"Oh will you please be quiet," Jonathan hissed under his breath again as he followed the Detective, Luna and Lucifer not far behind him. "Who exactly will I have to deal with?" he questioned the Detective.

Gordon opened the door and led him inside. "His name is Edward Nygma," Gordon sighed and shook his head as he rounded the corner and there stood a very tall lanky man with horn rimmed glasses, wearing a goofy smile on his face.

"Detective!" he spoke cheerfuly.

A little too cheery. He's forcing that smile and that grin, look at his eyes Jonny, he ain't smiling for real.

"Ed," the Detective spoke. "Could you take Jonathan to pick up his father's belongings. They'll be under Gerald Crane."

"Of course Detective, I'd be happy to," Edward smiled as he turned and looked at Jonathan fully.

He seems like an interesting one. Lets strike a conversation with him when the Detective leaves.

Jim nodded before he placed a hand on Jonathan's shoulder whispered to him. "By the way, he asks riddles."

Riddles? Who does guy think he is? A freakin Riddler or something? Wonder what that makes us?

Disturbed, Jonathan answered back.

Ha, good one Jonny, nah I was more thinking… oh I got it! Remember what all those bullies used to call us? Well I sure do. Like kicking a scarecrow, pft! How'd they even know what it's like to kick a scarecrow? Surly they must know if they can compare us to one!

I never really gave it much thought.

Yeah well you don't give anything much thought do you?

Jonathan decided that comment didn't deserve to be responded to.

He looked at the Detective and nodded in understanding and just like that, Gordon left. Leaving the Scarecrow and Riddler in the evidence lock up, staring at each other in silence.
