Being in better conditions was different for Dr. Crane. He had his own lab and funding. For the most part things were going perfectly, but he could feel things slipping from him. There were new ties that had been made that were sending situations out of his control. He would gain control back quickly enough, he had planned for this, or at least planned for things to go horribly wrong. It always had to be left open to the option. Men that planned too sharply ended up failing miserably. In the end he would get what he wanted, it didn’t matter how he got there.
Dr. Crane wore a longer jacket tonight. It had been tampered with and sown in parts to hide needles and various tools and weapons he normally used. He made the exchange with the shady individual in the darkness of the alley. Heather had been tagging along behind, but she stayed just around the corner where he had told her too. He pocketed the drugs that he needed into his coat and the man left down the alley counting his money. It was unfortunate that he had to get chemicals this way, but the original market he had was closed and he had broken a tie with another underworld control. He would always find what he needed but in this case the quality was questionable.
To Heather it might have seemed like a drug deal and that was exactly what it was, though not for use. Dr. Crane had been trying to fix a problem he’d created with the Scarebeast and some less than marketable drugs were needed. He never intended to use recreationally, he would use them to make a better chemical and enhance his creation. When he had first injected it into him, the full completed version, in the asylum in front of Agent Tiffany, he had never expected to not be able to control it. Heather was kept in the dark about most of these things. He knew that she didn’t care for it to be that way but that was the way he wanted it. She had never seen the Scarebeast, not that he expected her to never not see him. It was simply a matter that hadn’t come up yet. But to her it may seem like he was just buying drugs…He didn’t care.
He thought about Miss Glass and everything she had already endured with him. Dr. Crane found himself thinking about her often, but of course for purely research reasons. He understood the psychology behind what she was doing, her fears that led her behind his steps and they always would. He had molded her just perfectly to what he needed her to be, it was beautiful how everything fell into place. She was truly the perfect research subject. From the moment he bumped into her car he knew.
So when he turned back around and out of the alley to face her he leaned against the wall. He stared at her for a long moment as she paced a bit away, kicking her feet against the tar on the ground. He didn’t want to be out here much longer, there was work to do. He motioned for her to follow him and then turned down the dark alley once more. He kept his eyes up as they walked, remembering this alley way and many like it. It had been a long time since he’d crossed the bat family…His last encounter with Nightwing. It almost seemed like he had twisted him, made his greatest fear a reality….He was all to accepting of showing him the truth. Who was he to keep it from him. Ever since that night it seemed like the bat family wouldn’t touch him. Dr. Crane almost smiled at the thought as he walked with her. “Will walk back to the lab…” he spoke in regards to the stolen care that they had clearly abandoned.
