Helena had to admit that coming here was not kind to her nerves. She tensed as she mounted the old steps of the Crane house. It hadn't been easy to find, but she'd wanted to see the place. The house was certainly impressive, almost reminiscent of Wayne Manor ( Read more... )

Unfortunately for her, Dr. Crane was definitely at home. At the sound of the doorbell, he hissed in displeasure, knowing Joshua would certainly be too preoccupied to answer.
He opened the door, adjusting his glasses. "Hello?"

Helena kept her first instinct in line. She was coming here as Helena Kyle, not as the Huntress. She managed a shaky smile.

"Hello, Dr. Crane. Is Joshua in?"

"I believe he is, yes." Crane scrutinized her with his cold gaze. "Is he expecting you, Miss...?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Helena Kyle." She offered her hand, letting out a nervous chuckle. "No, I don't think he's expecting me, but he's helped me with a couple of projects at the Lance Center.

"What's he like?" Helena asked as she drove. "I know that's... probably an odd question, but, I mean, I've read the old papers and things like that. It's... Well," she flashed him an apologetic smile, "It's hard to imagine Jonathan Crane getting married, let alone having a kid."

If the question annoyed him, he didn't show it. "You've met my mother. What do you think?"

Helena considered this for a moment. "I've only met her at a few 'high society' meetings, and those aren't really known for bringing out the best in people," she admitted. "But she's seemed... really formal, which I guess fits."

"They can be a lot alike - of course, considering who she was raised by, that's pretty surprising." He turned back to her. "But honestly, talking about the two of them together? No thanks. Does that answer your question?"
