I own ONLY Jake and Abby. And the mysterious friend of Jakes'. Or do I? You may never know... O.o

Thank you Lone Wolf for the speedy review. And to answer your question the type of Wolfhound is the Saarlooswolfhond. Look them up because they are SUPER pretty. I LOVE the way they look and I really want one. Being in Canada makes me want one more because they are good with cold. And it will be explained further in how she came to have the name she does. Promise. Also ThatOne please understand that I take people saying things like "you are the first to come around so soon bullshit" and "Can I just say that sounds really lame?" as flaming. There are nicer ways to put it. Also, I mentioned this before, like chap 1, that this is based of the characteristics I got from the MOVIE not the game or comics or anything else. Just the MOVIE version of Crane. I have done a little research since writing the last chapter, but can't find much on Cranes' character. So bear with but I hope I'm closer than before. Now on with the story!

Crane smirked at me. "Is that supposed to frighten me? Are you trying to scare the master of fear?"

I glared hard at the man. "No. I know I couldn't if I wanted to. Because you are an emotionless bastard with no feeling for your fellow man."

"I'm trying to cure Gotham of it's fear."

"You're a bully. You're using your fear toxin to manipulate peoples minds and make them go nuts! You made me what I am now." Crane seemed bored by the conversation and that only made me madder.

I stepped forward and punched him in the jaw. Then I pulled back my fist and drove it into his nose. Then I stepped back and took a deep breath, drawing my gun from the holster on my leg. I aimed it at his head and was just about to pull the trigger when Crane spoke.

"Is killing me going to make the nightmares go away?" He asked me and I paused. "You really think this will help? I made you face your fears to try and help you get over them. And now look at you. He has warped your mind to make you a violent, vengeful, monster. It's not the kind of girl you were before. I didn't make you what you are now, your 'friend' did."

I looked at Jake and realized what Crane said was true. I wouldn't have become the Wolfhound if it hadn't been for Jake. He had been the one who fueled my hatred for Crane. He had pushed me to get my revenge. But even when I was training with Jake I couldn't get away from the visions from the basement. Killing Crane wouldn't get rid of them. Nothing would. This revenge was pointless.

"Did you ever ask him why he wanted to help you?" Crane asked me and I shook my head. "Ask him. You'll be quite interested in the answer."

I thought for a moment then turned to Jake. "Why did you help me? Why were you so bent on having me kill him?"

Jake looked me dead in the eyes. "Because I needed someone to do it. That friend of mine that gets me all my gadgets? He's my boss. He won't let me kill Crane. But he doesn't know about you so you could kill him and I wouldn't get shit."

"You were using me to get your revenge on Crane? Just so your boss wouldn't get mad!" I glared at Jake. "What else weren't you telling me?"

"He plans on killing you after." Crane said from behind me and my jaw dropped.

"Is that true!" I snarled at Jake and he looked slightly ashamed. "At least you have the decency to look ashamed you dirty rotten lying bastard!"

I turned the gun on Jake and pulled the trigger. He went down but reached for his gun, but before he grabbed it I pinned his hand down and put a bullet between his eyes.

"I'm surrounded by liars." I growled. "What is wrong with people today? Why do they have to lie and kill each other? It's disgusting."

I turned to Crane and chuckled. "I guess I owe you one for saving my life... How about a deal? We leave each other alone and let the other do what they want."

Crane, knowing a great opportunity when he saw one, agreed and I left him and the imposters tied up in the car park. I couldn't be sure if he would keep his word, but I knew if it came down to it I could kill him.

No one's POV

Abby kept the name Jake had given her, it was who she was now. She still had the memory of how she got the name, but it was tainted with hatred towards Jake. Abby closed her eyes as she lay back on a motel bed and remembered how she became the Wolfhound.

It had happened a few weeks into training with Jake, the two were taking a break and Jake was laughing about how stubborn Abby was being.

~Flashback~

"You remind me of the Saarlooswolfhond's my parents used to raise. They were so strong willed and hard to train like you." Jake had laughed. "They were also pretty quiet."

"You know why I'm so quiet." Abby had told him.

"True." Jake was silent for a moment. "You know what?"

"What?" Abby had asked, wary of whatever idea Jake had just had. Most of those ideas ended with new bruises for Abby.

"You remind me of one of the rescue cases my mom took in. Her name was Dawn and she was a beautiful Saarloos but she didn't really trust anyone because she had been beaten at her previous home. She was tall and lean like you and had the most beautiful reddish-brown coat. Eventually she learned to trust us and she turned out to be the best Saarloos we had ever had." Jake had looked over at Abby and smiled. "From now on I'm calling you Abby Dawn, the Wolfhound."

Abby had smiled at Jake and nodded. "I like it."

~End Flashback~

Abby sighed. Jake had seemed like such a great guy then. She may have even fallen for him given enough time. But he had lied to her and was planning on killing her after she had taken care of Crane. Crane, that was another thing on her mind. How had he known about Jake's plan? Sure he was smart, but was he really that smart? The mere thought of it scared Abby a bit. The things he had told her had made her question what she thought. Sure he had probably said those things to save his own skin, but how did he know she wouldn't kill him after she killed Jake? Was he really that good at psychoanalysis?

"Could he have made some sort of mind control toxin?" Abby asked herself aloud the laughed at the stupidity of the idea. "That's just absurd. He said so himself, he is the master of fear. Mind control would take away peoples will power and their ability to fear. I think. Oh I don't know anymore!"

Abby buried her face in a pillow and groaned. She wasn't sure about anything anymore. But she did know what her next move would be. Rid this city of all the bad eggs and make it better for people to live in. She was sick of liars and criminals. So unlike the Saarlooswolfhonds Jake had told her about. They were honest about if they want to kill you at least. Actually most if not all animals are so unlike humans in that respect. Face a angry grizzly in the woods then at least you know where you stand. Depending on your reaction to the situation you could come out dead or alive. With people it's different. You could be stabbed or shot in a random mugging and you wouldn't even know who the mugger is.

"That settles it." Abby said to the room around her. "I will rid this world of it's liars and criminals by whatever means necessary."

I hope I got Crane closer to his character this time. I did read up on him a bit so I did make an effort... But if he is still OOC then let me know and send me a bio or characteristics or something to help out? What did you think of the turn of events with Jake? I was going to keep him longer for Batman to take out... But I felt that this was more plausible. Otherwise Abby would end up killing Crane and the story would be over... Any guesses about who the mysterious "Boss" is? Lol. I might reveal it... maybe. Anyway, I need 3 reviews from 3 DIFFERENT people. Lone Wolf reviewed 2 times and I'm counting it this time, but not after this.

Oh and for those of you who were wondering, if anyone really cared, I got chorus and dance ensemble in My Fair Lady. -.- Not happy with it 'cause now grade 9's are getting lines over me. A grade 10. Who was in one acts last year. But enough about me. PLEASE REVIEW. Because Reviews are love.
