Crazy Love (Jonathan Crane × Reader, Bane x Reader)

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

It’s a sunny, bright and beautiful day in Gotham so you decided to walk to work today. You live in the Narrows which everyone in Gotham knows it’s where the lower class and criminals live. Screw up town Gotham, you didn’t want to live near the rich, stuck up people even though you could easily afford it. The Narrows don’t bother you and it's closer to work. On the rare occasion someone tries messing with you, you just knock them flat on their ass and send them running. You’ve lived here long enough that the locals know you're a nurse at Arkham and just leave you alone.

You get to the secure employee entrance, and greet the security guard on duty. “Morning Joe. How are you this morning?”

“Good Morning Ann. Did you watch the news last night?” You shake your head no. “Oh, you missed some good television. They are sentencing Dr. Crane today. He went on a crazy rant as they were transporting him, saying his name is Scarecrow.”

You give him a polite yet fake smile. “Ya too bad I missed that. Well see ya later Joe.” Joe oblivious to your fake politeness waves goodbye. You can’t help but feel bad for Dr. Crane. Your father took advantage of a vulnerable person. Probably exacerbated his current condition more. Dr. Crane managed to escape and hide for several months after the league’s attack on Gotham. Batman eventually found him though. He’s been sitting in solitary confinement in Blackgate Penitentiary while he awaited sentencing and was also evaluated extensively by several teams of doctors. 

You make your way through the large building and get to the elevator. A fellow nurse and friend of yours, Theo gets on the elevator with you. Theo is tall, tanned skin with brown eyes, in his mid twenties, and he is very handsome. 

He pushes the buttons to both of your floors. You weren’t paying attention, you were lost in thought. Theo starts laughing hysterically, which startles you. “What the hell Theo?” He’s laughing so hard all he can do is point to the elevator buttons. Someone carved the Batman symbol into the metal plate next to the button to your floor. “Are you fucking kidding me!”

Your reaction just makes Theo laugh harder. He eventually calms down enough to form words as the elevator opens. “You know they just do that to get you riled up.” You scowl at him and step out of the elevator. “I thought we were friends Theo.” He blows you a kiss as the elevator doors shut.

As you enter your wing of the hospital you see Mary at the nurses station. She’s a middle-aged woman, mother of two young girls. She has short blonde, curly hair and kind green eyes. She’s worked at Arkham for several years. You picked her personally for your unit because of her kindness towards patients, but she was also firm when needed. 

She sees the scowl on your face and smirks at you. “I take it you saw the carving in the elevator.” 

“Wait until I find out who's doing that shit. They’re going to be sorry. Mark my words.” You can see Mary trying to hold back her laughter. Theo is probably right, because of your well known distaste for Batman, everyone thinks it's that much funnier to tease you. He’s a grown fucking man running around dressed as a bat, he should probably be locked in Arkham not running around thinking he’s a hero. Putting aside what happened between him and your father you still don’t like the man. If he wants to fight crime so bad he should become a police officer. To you he’s nothing but a vigilante. And Bruce Wayne is just a rich douchebag who irks you to no end.

After you leave Mary, you go get ready for your rounds. You have about two dozen patients in your wing. But there’s a handful that you handle specifically because they only behave for you or you just have a soft spot for them. Currently in your care is Carmine Falcone, Victor Zsasz, Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin), Edward Nygma (The Riddler), and Digger Harkness (Captain Boomerang). Digger was actually captured by the Flash. You tried getting people to call your floor the Flash Wing instead of the Bat Wing, but clearly that didn’t work.
