The episode begins in the apartment Hideout of Jonathan Crane and jervis tetch, only tetch inhabits there surprisingly clean a boat, he's so busy cooking up dinner that he doesn't notice the door open and close the sound of the door opening and closing in the background, he does notice when one of the chairs of the kitchen table is pulled back for someone to sit in
jervis: oh Jonathan you're home early from the Legion meeting, luckily for you I'm really done and making dinner, hopefully you have the stomach for something spicy cuz I'm making Curry like my mother made it
a voice that sounds like Jonathan's: sounds great tech
jervis's face scrunches at the use of his last name, but brushes off as he prepares two plates of Curry, carefully maneuvering off the step stool he was using with his head down he nearly drops a plate when he looks up to see not the face of his roommate/lover, and then it's place is the blank expands of
the question: and it looks great too, (he Yanks a plate from Madrid versus hand and without any prompting begins digging in)
Jervis(frightened and mad): hey you stop that that's for Jonathan, what are you even doing here, where's Jonathan
the question(after drinking half a cup of water): that's a good question buddy, and it's exactly what I'm trying to answer
Jervis(annoyed and Confused): well I don't know where he is, why do you want to know
the question: you see Batman had been tapping Legion meetings and noticed that the Scarecrow wasn't at this years, he's on League business and he wanted me to look around to see if Spooky's planning something
jervis(setting the other plate of Curry has down as he sits at the table): well, I'll tell you if he was planning something he'd tell me, but I haven't heard a peep from him since he went out to go to that meeting, (his tongue grows worried), y- you don't think someone kidnapped him do you
the question opens his mouth to speak but then there's a crashing sound from one of the apartment windows, rushing over they see a brick was a note duct tape to it
the note States: if you want to see the Scarecrow again come to the Gotham hat Museum before midnight or the straw man's going up in flames
with a note is a photo of Jonathan minus all of his clothing except for underwear and his signature mask, clearly he had struggled during his kidnapping telling from the bruises on his chest and arms and the noticeable blood beneath his nails
Jervis(trying to hold back tears): oh God,(turning to the question) you have to help me save him, please I'll tell you anything you want to know
the question(already pulling out his car keys): you better be sincere about that Promise Tech
jervis: believe me I will,(thinks about something while holding up a finger to stop the question from walking out) one sec let me get into something for the occasion
soon the two of them are in the questions car, the question is wearing his usual get up will touch is wearing something that wouldn't look out of place on the body of a Noir Detective film love interest, but obviously older to fit his tiny body, the question is very purposely trying to not look at him
soon the at the Hat museum and through the doors, it doesn't take too long to find where Jonathan's being held, they find crane tied to a pole much like his namesake next to him stands a red-headed man with a mediocre mustache dressed what seems to be a Spirit Halloween Mad Hatter outfit
the mediocre mustache man looks directly at Jervis and begins maniacally laughing
Jervis(annoyedly confused): you're laughing like I should know you, which I don't, now let go of Jonathan or I swear I'll make you rip off that stupid mustache and stuff it where the sun don't shine
mediocre mustache guy: don't you recognize me, I'm your soulmate darling
Jervis(recognizes the mustache guy and is Furious): oh God, I thought we went over this Harold
The question feels he should probably leave, but when he tries Jervis throws him a glare and he decides to stay
jervis(death glaring Harold): first of all I did not and will never love you, second of all this is the reason why, (he makes a circular motion with both hands around the room), ever since we were kids you always did this to people I like, honestly I shouldn't be surprised, I was expecting this one day
the question is again considering just leaving, but before he can Jervis is scrounging through a skirt pocket and pulling out a gun
Jervis(loading his gun): I probably should have done this years ago, but better now than never
Harold is about to light the lighter in his hand to threaten to burn the Scarecrow, but tetch is fast with his hands and a bullet is embedded in Heralds kidney
Harold(on the floor): you're ugly anyway,(coughs up blood dramatically), I'll see you in hell
Harold braces for another gunshot which doesn't come, he finds out why when the sound of sloppy making out and to his ears he glances over to see tetch and crane indeed sloppily making out, he tries to push through the pain from his bullet embedded kidney but he finds that he's been cuffed by the question who pulls them up by the chain connecting his hands
later back at the apartment, the question Jervis and Jonathan are all eating some more curry, Jonathan has his clothes back on
Jarvis(after swallowing a bite): you know he going to owe me for all that juicy info I gave you
the question: I take it you want some info about the league
jervis: oh goodness no all the intent to ask for is it,(he looks embarrassed to say it but he does) to me and John from borrow one of your coats and and hats for some special time
the question(with a quizzitive tone to his voice): do you want the mask too
jervis(blushing wildly): oh goodness no, Johnny here(he gestures to crane who's devouring a second plate of Curry) seems to have the odd ability to make his face all shadowy when he's wearing a hat and not something to cover it, I don't know if it's something acquired from his resurrection or he just knows how to angle a hat well, but it is quite sexy
the question not his head and acceptance of this deal and continues eating
the end
