Spinning out of control.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this fic that belongs to DC.

Summary: Jonathan Crane has been released from Arkham asylum, however his plans on staying low and moving on with his life are soon ruined. SLASH! Yaoi! as in boyxboy (mainly WAYNE/CRANE 'cause there is not enough of this pairing in the world!)

A/N: I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes and all chapters (minus the prologues) will be at least 1,000 words long or over. Also I have noticed when I copy and past my work onto the Doc Manager, some of the words tend to go missing, so I apologise if this happens. =.=

Chapter two

People's thoughts

Scarecrow speaking in Jonathan's head

Past moments

(Jonathan's POV)

Jonathan glared at the retreating mans back, he still wasn't sure who he was and to be honest he really didn't care, hopefully he wouldn't have to see the arrogant man again.

He decided to read another chapter of his book before packing it away and heading back to his home.

Along his way he passed a newsstand, catching one of the headlines he reads:Bruce Wayne donates to charity! and underneath a picture of the billionaire.

He felt his eyes widen at the picture, Bruce Wayne! That was Bruce Wayne!

He couldn't believe it, why would the billionaire come up and talk to him, and in the park of all places, what if someone saw him with him, the renowned scarecrow?

Oh well it wasn't his problem, as long as he stayed away he was fine, besides what would a socialite like Bruce Wayne want with him?

Besides he had his own problems to worry about, like the Bat, who had promised to check up on him to make sure he was behaving himself and then of course his ex had just broken out of Arkham.

He hoped that he wouldn't come looking for him like he said he would, he had been beyond angry when Jonathan had said that he was being released and that he wouldn't be continuing on with his research on fear (well not in the practical sense however he was still allowed to study it but on paper, not on people)

He still remembered what happened when he decided he didn't want to continue on the path that he was on.

His boyfriend at the time had decided to go out with Two-Face and the Joker to have what he said was a 'man's night out' leaving Jonathan at the base alone, they had previously had a little fight. Scarecrow had had enough of the way the green cladded moron treated his Jonathan so had taken over Jonathan's body and decided to leave Gotham, however he didn't get far before a certain flying rodent jumped him.

Literally, one minute he was ducking and running down alley ways, next thing he knew he was being pinned to the ground.

It was at that point he decided to give control back to Jonathan.

"Get off of me you stupid overgrown-"

He was cut of as his already aching head was slammed into the ground.

"Quite! I'm taking you back to Arkham Scarecrow!"

"What!? No you can't! I'm leaving Gotham, I swear I won't use my fear toxin ever again!"

"Do you honestly expect me to believe that?"

"It's the truth… I just need to leave."

The Batman glared down at the man beneath, gripping his arms he twisted the man around so he could yell at him, however paused when he saw the bruise on his face.

Reaching out his hand he trailed his thumb beneath the bruise causing Jonathan to flinch at the touch.

Speaking softly the bat questions "I didn't do this did I?"

It sounded more like a statement but scarecrow answers anyway. "No you didn't."

"So then who did?"

He could feel his eyes begin to water so closed his eyes and began shaking his head.

"It doesn't matter."

"Tell me Jonathan."

Blue eyes looked up into the face of the Bat, letting out a soft sigh he replied.

"The Riddler… we're…"

He didn't finish but he could tell that the Bat man knew what he was going to say.

"Is that why you're leaving, to get away from him?"

"Yes… That and the fact I wouldn't be able to start again in this place."

"You might, maybe you should listen to your doctors."

The Batman watched as a mixture of emotions crossed the porcelain face.

"Yeah, something tells me that won't be happening anytime soon."

The Batman just smirked down at him. "You have two options Crane: One, you come with me willingly, or two, I'll force you there."

Jonathan grimaced at the second option, not particularly fond of having the Bat man 'force' him to Arkham.

"Fine, I'll come with you willingly."

And he had, unfortunately someone had seen him going to the asylum with Batman willingly, and it had been all over the news.

Twelve days before he would be leaving Edward had been captured and by the Bat and brought in, and after three days in isolation Edward was allowed into the rec-room, where he confronted him.

That was one fight he didn't want to remember… needless to say Edward was put back into isolation for the remainder of Jonathan's stay.

Though Edwards threat, or rather his promise still rang in his ears; the promise that he'll find him and break him.

Perhaps when the Bat visits him he should ask for his help?...

… Nah, I'll figure something out when the time comes.

Or you can let me take over and I'll end his life for ever harming you.

Which one? Eddie or the Bat man?

Both… and you should stop calling him 'Eddie'... we don't need him, we're all we need.

Jonathan sighed, grateful that he was almost at his apartment, it had been a rather long day, plus he had work tomorrow.

Your right. I need to stop thinking of how he used to be… thats not the real him.

And with that Jonathan Crane finished his trek to his apartment, with no idea what was in store for him.

A/N: Greetings and salutations, I hope this chapter was OK.

I'm sure you have already guessed from this chapter, that Jonathan used to go out with Edward Nigma.

I hope that doesn't put anyone of this story.
