Coming Full Circle

Scarecrow stares at me as I look down at the empty pill bottle that I always carry around. I take the pill bottle in my hand and give it a small shake. When no sound is heard, I toss it back onto the bed, and run a hand through my hair in frustration. I stand in the middle of the room with the door locked not caring about anything else that's happening outside these four walls.

Scarecrow walks over to the bed, and picks up the empty bottle. These where the subscripted pills you were given in Arkham, right?

I nodded, and took a seat on the single chair that was in the room. "They gave me those as a subscription during my treatment. I took quite a few before I escaped just in case, and thanks to those damn pills I've been able to retain my sanity-well what's left of my sanity intact. I never thought that this would happen here of all places. But how could I not see this coming, I knew from the start that I needed more. Now, I don't know what to do."

Scarecrow stared at me with a caring look. Jonathan, you need more of these pills, but you can't go back to Arkham as easily anymore. Didn't the new chief of command move the asylum to an island just outside of Gotham?

I looked up confused at what he just said. "I-I think so? An island, to secure that no one is able to escape, sounds crazy if you listen to yourself repeat it over, and over again."

Jonathan-

I waved him off, looking to the side. "Look, I need some time alone, so just go away." When I didn't hear a reply I knew that he left me by myself. What was that man's name who runs Arkham now? I think i-it was something Sharp? That doesn't make any sense! How I'm I supposed to get more without that damn billionaire watching my every move? I don't want to go back there. I can't go back there. But I know I can't afford him to see me like this, how mortified I will be if he did .For the rest of the day, I stayed on the seat not thinking about anything else. Not knowing that I subconsciously began to fidget with the cuffs of my sleeves.

What was that noise?

I open my eyes startled, and quickly sit up on the bed. I lean on the headboard and try to listen for whatever noise that was. I looked from side to side, but I don't hear anything. It could have been Alfred waking up by now? I look over to the digital clock on my nightstand, and see that it's four in the morning. The suns not even out yet. Alfred doesn't wake up until the sun is up.

I get out of the bed, a little groggy from standing up to quickly and still trying not to put too much pressure on my right leg. I turn to open the nightstand next to my bed, and take out my personal house keys. Opening up the door, I head into the hallway. My whole mansion is dark, and there shouldn't be any noises made at all. That is to say that if everyone is asleep. And last time I checked I had one extra visitor staying here. Crane.

I rub my eyes as I try to make an effort to finally be awake. When I feel something cold on my feet it reminds me that I was walking bare foot, and forgot to get my slippers. And also I was only wearing my buttoned up night shirt which matched my black night pants. Ignoring everything else about my choice of sleep wear, I make my way to where the noise is coming from, and realize that it's coming from the kitchen. I frown as I see a light emitting from the kitchen, and realize that Jonathan must have opened the refrigerator.

I take a turn into the kitchen. "Cra- what is this?" I walk more into the kitchen, and realize that the refrigerator was left opened. I grab the door, and close it then I look around the kitchen and see that no one is here. "Did he leave the door open on purpose?" I look back over to the refrigerator, and open the door. Carefully examining how long this door could have been left open. That's strange; this door wasn't opened for more than a couple of minutes. For whatever reason he was here, he certainly wasn't here to eat, all the food remained untouched. He must have just left when he heard someone coming. After all, loud echoes could be heard from the noise my feet were making. I should go check on Jonathan just in case.

Walking around in the darkness of the mansion, I finally come face to face with Jonathan's door. I lean into the door, and try to listen in. When I don't hear anything I place my hand on the door knob, and turn it. But instead of the door opening up, the door knob didn't budge, meaning that he locked the door. Why would he lock the door? He has no reason to. Unless…

I quickly reach into my pocket of my night pants, and take out my keys. I slide the key into the key hole, and begin turning the knob once more. I carefully open the door, and look inside the room. I don't see Jonathan anywhere until I look at the bed. There curled up in a small ball is Jonathan. What really surprised me was that he was still wearing his suit, and he sounded like he was… mumbling?

I get closer to his curled up form, and I can barely make out the words that he's mumbling. I whisper quietly. "Crane?" He doesn't react when I call out his name, and still keeps on mumbling. I get closer to him, and try to listen to what he's trying to say.

"… sca…ow…cr…ow…"

I can't make out anything that he's saying as he's mumbling his words into the pillow he's holding tightly. So then I move my hand, and place it on his shoulder, startling him as he stops all movement.

"What do you want?" Saying it in that cold tone of his, almost making him sound like a whole different person.

I frown as he doesn't even look at me. "You were mumbling in your sleep, are you okay?" I didn't hear a reply, so then I grabbed his shoulder, and turned him around. Once he was turned around I saw that he was asleep. Did he just fall asleep right now? But he did just reply. Why does a psychiatrist have to be so difficult?

I move his body to one side of the bed, and grab the end of the sheets, covering his body up instead of having to get him inside of the bed sheets. He holds onto the pillow he has in his hand, and looks like he finally was at peace. I sigh, and move to the door, giving him one last look, I gently close the door. Deciding that I should make my way back into my own room, but the whole way as I'm walking back to my room, I couldn't get out of my head at what just transpired with Jonathan. He's been acting up lately; I wonder what could be causing this.

My eyes flutter open to the sound of someone knocking on my door. "Come in." I grunt in my morning voice, trying to sound the least bit of interest in someone coming into my room so early in the morning.

I see that Alfred opens the door, and peeks in. "Master Wayne I have come to inform you that it's already pass ten, and was wondering if you were going to come down to have breakfast."

I lean on my elbows as I try to take in everything he's saying. "Pass ten? Guess I might have overslept a bit, but yeah, I'll be right down."

Alfred nods, and makes his way to close the door, until I quickly grab his attention. "Alfred wait!"

He turns around, and reopens the door. "Yes?"

I rub my eyes for a bit, and push the covers away from my body. "Has Jonathan already eaten breakfast?"

Alfred shook his head. "No, and I find it quite strange."

I furrow my eyebrows. "Why is it strange?"

"Because when I went by his door, it was locked, and also he has a habit of being up before either of us, either sipping some tea or watching the news in the living room. But he has done neither of these things."

My frowned deepened. "Thank you for letting me know, Alfred." He nods, and closes up the door. Did Crane lock the door again after I left the room? I'm starting to see why he has these strange mood swings. I just hope I'm wrong.

I get out of bed, and decide to skip out on the shower, and just start to get dressed. The quicker I can get done with this, the quicker I could go see Jonathan. I know that last night wasn't a dream. With that in mind I head out of my room, but not before retrieving the house keys.

Once I'm outside of his room, I raise my hand to knock on the door. "Crane." There's no response, so I take out my keys, and begin to open the door. When I open the door I get the shock of my life. "He's gone." I begin to look around the room, everything is as it was left, but I had a bad feeling that he didn't leave his most cared for possession here. I begin my search for the one thing that would try to put me at ease, in which I hope, is still here.

I searched the cabinets, and didn't find anything there. Then I moved my attention to the closet, and noticed that his notes were nowhere to be found, and that the only thing he could have taken were his damn notes. Then that means that he… "He left to try to make more of his toxin." How could I be so stupid as to trust him? I should have confiscated his notes when I had the chance. He will never change, that is perfectly clear to me now.

Walking by busy streets, and narrow dirty alleyways, Jonathan was slowly walking around with no direction in mind. I was the one who slowly lead Jonathan around making sure no harm came his way, as he only stared out into space with no sense of everything that was going around him.

"Scarecrow… Scarecrow… Scarecrow…"

Jonathan, I'm here. Now, all you have to do is trust me.

Jonathan fell to his knees holding his notes close to his chest. The next movement that was made was made by my own will as I slowly lift up my head. Finally, I'm able to move once again. And this time I won't make the same mistake as the last time. I'll make sure that damn Bat pays for what he did to you, Jonathan.

Alfred is following me as I get ready to leave the mansion. "Master Wayne, where are you going?"

I turned around, and retrieved my keys to the motorcycle. "Where else? I'm going to find Crane, and figure out what's going on with him. Cancel any appointment I have today, Alfred." Exiting the mansion I head to the garage in where I have stored my motorcycle, and place the helmet over my head. Before I could start the engine Alfred is walking towards me with something in his hand.

He held it out to my face. "Just in case, this could come in handy Master Wayne." I don't hesitate to take it, and place it inside my leather jacket. Starting the engine I begin riding off to search for Jonathan.

I need to find him; he's a danger to the whole city, and himself.

I take a turn on a curve, and head for any warehouses around the docks. The only one that comes to mind is the one that's across town. There was a warehouse reported to have been used to make chemicals for medicine, until it was reported there was a chemical spill that made workers there quit their job, and move to another location. Sounds like the perfect place for Jonathan to call home sweet home.

If Jonathan really is planning something or trying to make his toxin once again, I'll have no choice but to send him to Arkham Island. It's the only place where he'll be treated, and be accepted to, and besides Quincy Sharp did say he was looking for Jonathan. Maybe all he needs is some help, and the right treatment. Which is more than I can do for him.

After riding for what seemed like hours, I finally arrived to an abandoned warehouse. It stood large, and held this weird aura around it. Taking off my helmet, I look out, and try to take in my surroundings. The warehouse itself was as it was said: deserted. It was white with the occasional rusted sides from being here for such a long time. The entrance itself was a door in which you had to walk up to from the stairs on the side.

I walk up to the stairs, placing my hand on the railing, and notice that it has rusted pretty badly with some of it peeling off if you scratch at it enough times. Ignoring this I continue making it all the way up to the entrance, and observe that the door had a secure high tech hardwired lock installed. This place was for employees only; I guess they tried to make sure that no one else was to enter here. I reached my hand into my jacket, and take out the device that Alfred gave to me. It looked very unusual to me; its shape resembled a detonator switch. I began checking it to see what it was supposed to do, until something else came out of it. The part that came out was a small screen with an amplifier wave showing on it. I took the handle with my right hand, and took the other part with my left hand, placing both my thumbs on the small joy sticks at each end of the device, I began moving them around. Seeing that every time I moved it, a sound would come out and the screen would turn green until finally the secured lock gave a small shock of electricity. I closed up the device, and placed it back into my jacket, as I opened up the door.

Once inside I saw that this place contained many stored chemicals even some barrels full of toxin. There were so many chemicals here; I wouldn't know where to begin. I probably couldn't even pronounce let alone know what these chemicals were, or were supposed to be used for. I looked over to a table that was in the room. I reached the table, and could see that it hasn't been used for a long time. With all the saved up dust on it I hardly think that Jonathan would be here. But if he's not here, then where could he be? He could be anywhere in this whole city, and I can't go looking for him in my Bat suite. Not since all the chaos that's been happening lately.

My eyes widened at the realization. Could he be-

I quickly came out of my thoughts, and made my way out of the warehouse. With a whole new location in mind, but still hard to believe he might actually be there. It doesn't matter as long as I find him, I won't stop looking. I quickly run back to my motorcycle, and begin to deduce the direction in where he might be. Roaring the engine to life I quickly begin to retrace my steps. To the only place he was really able to work in since he began his research, and his experiments.
