Chapter X

The next morning when (Y/n) woke up, she got dressed and walked to her lab room. She usually woke up early and had time to do whatever she wanted in the lab.

As she tested new things, she heard something. "I'm back!" Yelled a voice. It was Oswald. She walked out of the room and over to where he was. Next to him was a tall, very pale man with white hair. "Oh. Hello there." She said with a confused face. "Anyways. Oswald, it is too early for you to be yelling. Other people are sleeping. You probably don't know what that is because you are never here at night, but other people need it." She said as she sighed. He looked at her with a confused face as if he were saying 'what?'. He looked over at the pale man and remembered why they were there. "(Y/n), this is Butch. A friend of mine-" he was interrupted by Butch. "We aren't friends." He said with a glare. He looked mad. Oswald nodded worriedly and continued talking. "Anyways, he was dumped into some swamp and turned into that. We were hoping, since you are a scientist, you could take tests on him to see how he could be fixed." Oswald explained. (Y/n) nodded and thought for a while. "I suppose so." She said. After that, Butch followed her to the lab room and sat in a chair for her to take tests on him.

A while later, she grabbed a needle. "Aren't you a scientist? I thought you needed to be a doctor when using things like that." Said a voice from the doorway. She looked up and smiled to see Jonathan walking in. "Well, actually we need to take blood samples sometimes and I learned how to draw blood." She said as she drew the blood. Butch stayed quiet as the other two spoke. "Who's the corpse?" Jonathan asked. "Corpse?" Butch asked. When Jonathan realized he wasn't dead, he shrugged. "You look dead." Jonathan said as he sat down. "Be nice to him. We don't want him snapping your neck." (Y/n) said with a laugh. "We? Somebody must care about me." Jonathan said with a laugh as (Y/n) blushed lightly. "Look, if you are going to be like this please don't do it around me. It's gross." Butch said as he made a fake gagging sound. (Y/n) laughed at the comment and continued taking samples. "There isn't much left to do. So you can wait or go hang out with your penguin buddy." She said. "I'd rather die than hang out with bird-beak, but I guess that's not an option now." Butch said, pointing at himself as he left the room. (Y/n) let out a small laugh and went back to testing the blood. "So I was thinking-" Jonathan started saying before (Y/n) stopped him from talking. "One second. I need to be careful with this." She said. Jonathan quietly sighed and looked at the door.

Once (Y/n) finished, she looked back at Jonathan."What were you saying?" She asked him. He looked at her. "I guess I forgot" he said and shrugged. She raised an eyebrow and nodded. There was a knock on the door before (Y/n) told the person to come in. "Ms. (L/n), the big guy was wanting to know if you were done testing." Jervis said. "I'm done, Jervis. You can tell him to come on in." She said as she smiled at Jervis. He smiled back and nodded as he walked out. Jonathan mentally glared at this. Of course (y/n) was nice and friendly to him too, but for some reason he was jealous. The way she smiled at him. As Jonathan thought about this, Butch walked in with Oswald. He looked up at them from the ground. (Y/n) explained everything. As she spoke, Butch interrupted her. "So how can I fix it?" He asked. (Y/n) sighed and looked at Jonathan as if she needed help. "A cure is unknown at the moment." Jonathan said. (Y/n) mouthed a 'thank you' as he gave her a nod. Butch glared at them both before getting mad. "You said that you could help me. It seems like nobody in this town can help. I thought you were one of the bests scientists in Gotham." He spoke loudly. "It's just that-" she tired saying. "No! Don't say another word! Are you even a scientist?!" Butch said as he threw things off the table in anger, making shattered glass go everywhere. Jonathan noticed his anger and tried to get him away from (Y/n). "She didn't do anything wrong. She never said that she could help you. Oswald did. Don't go after her for doing nothing." He said. (Y/n) backed up and the two argued. Jonathan was a little shorter than Butch, mainly due to the reason that Butch was very tall.

    (Y/n) looked over Jonathan's shoulder to see Oswald looking at the two if them with a look that was a mix of worry and confusion. (Y/n) and him looked at each other and glared.

After all the arguing, everybody was in the dining room as usual. Jerome was telling everybody his 'plans'. He never said anything important so nobody listened. (Y/n) stared at the table and played with her hair as she thought about something. She felt a tap on her arm and looked over at who caused it. She looked at Jonathan with a smile. "Hm?" She asked. He shrugged and looked back at her. "Just bored..." he said. She nodded in agreement. "Can't we just leave? I mean it's not like we are going to get in trouble." She said with a small laugh. He laughed and shrugged.
       
       They whispered to each other for a while until the 'meeting' was over. Once it was, they both got up and walked to the lab room. Jonathan say down on a chair as (y/n) did the same. "So.." he mumbled.
(Y/n) looked at him and thought about something. "Hey uh... thanks for earlier... you know, about Butch.." she said. "No problem.." Jonathan had a light shade of pink on his cheeks. They say in silence until there was a knock on the door. (Y/n) got up and opened it. There stood Oswald along with a man in a green suit. "Not this time. Last time it didn't end well, Oswald." She said with an annoyed tone. "There is nothing wrong with him. This is Ed. A friend of mine. He's part of the 'team' now (let's imagine he was in the show). He is a scientist and Jerome told me to bring him to you." Oswald said as Ed had a bored expression. "Uhh ok fine?" She said. Ed walked in as Oswald walked away. "Odd.." (y/n) said. "I'm Ed. Nice to meet you." Ed said, holding out his hand waiting for her to shake it. "(Y/n)..." She said as she ignored his hand. Ed looked over at Jonathan and thought for a moment. "Aren't you Scarecrow?" He asked. Jonathan nodded and looked at (y/n) with a raised eyebrow. (Y/n) shrugged and walked over to him. "Ed this is my... friend, Jonathan. Jonathan, don't kill Ed. It may be tempting but just don't." She said with a small laugh. Jonathan gave a small laugh as Ed had a worried look.

   The rest of the afternoon, Ed and (Y/n) made more fear gas and other things like that while (y/n) talked to Jonathan. 'Every time we get one second of alone time, somebody has to interrupt us...' (y/n) thought as she stared at the desk
