I would like to apologize- [He stops, because he sounds sarcastic. It's like a natural reflex. He continues on more normally.] I would sincerely like to apologize to Hayley Stark for dosing her with a highly unpleasant fear toxin last July, according to the calendar that the Admiral has inflicted on us. It was unwarranted in her case.

[Added later: Crane sounds exasperated.] And in the case of anyone else who was affected at the time.

[Added even later: Crane's getting used to it.] Including people who were directly killed as a result of it, otherwise indirectly impacted or generally traumatized by the experience. At the time I clearly needed to work out who was deserving of what.

He's included in the general apology.

No. We agreed not to get into specifics. I didn't take you for a liar, Hayley.

I meant for being a total jerk, actually, but I guess he wouldn't accept it anyway.

Then you obviously don't know me at all. [Pause, sigh.] I told you I wouldn't lie to you as long as you don't lie to me, but just.. try to stop being so mean to him. Please.

Right. [Crane honestly hadn't thought of that.] No, he wouldn't.

Saying that to you was inconsiderate. [Pause.] It may be better if I settle for ignoring him. I imagine doing the same won't exactly be a chore for him.

If you really want to just ignore him? I guess that's okay.

[LONG PAUSE.]

Can I bring coffee to your room later? We should catch up.

Better than being civil and insincere.

[Pause.]

That sounds like an excellent idea.

[Late in the evening, when many would be going to bed, Hayley showed up at Crane's door with two cups of coffee. She gave a quiet knock, glancing unpleasantly down to Franklin's room and genuinely fearing he might appear. Everything that had happened had only made her want to avoid him more.]

[If the knock wasn't so quiet, Crane would have been concerned that it was Nygma, who always seemed to knock just as loudly as his suits. Crane walked quickly to the door and opened it, quickly moving aside to give Hayley room to enter. Much of his room was still unexpectedly blue from the super power flood.]

Good evening, Hayley. The hallways were safe, I trust? [After Dawsey, Crane didn't trust them nearly as much as he had before.]

[Hayley started moving inside the instant he opened the door and moved aside, but she hesitated when he made the remark about the hallways being safe, glancing up at him. Did he know about Franklin already? After that brief faltering, she quickly stepped out of the doorway. The inmate set his coffee down on the desk, having added a little cream and sugar as he seemed like the type, and carried her black coffee with her as she took a seat on the edge of his bed as if it were her own. It was a subtle sign that she had missed him and an even more subtle gesture of trust.]

"I'm not dead." [This was, tragically, a legitimate answer as death was a genuine threat.] "Why? Run into trouble lately?"

[Crane noticed the faltering, but guessed that it was Hayley being reluctant to come in. They were still in rather thin ice, apparently. Crane tried to ignore it. He took the coffee that Hayley had put down and leaned against the desk. The coffee was still warm. And at the very least Hayley appeared comfortable now that she was actually inside his room.]

I'm not dead either. [Crane said, but paused before replying to the second part of her question.] I did have a run in with Perry Dawsey that did almost end up with me dead.

[Hayley was looking down at her coffee, held between both hands, until he mentioned Perry's name. Immediately her gaze shot up to Crane. It seemed that all of her friends were destined to hate each other. Although she supposed Perry wasn't really a friend, certainly not compared to Crane.]

"I'm glad you survived." [She was sincere and sounded that way. After a sip of coffee, she decided to dive right in.] "What happened?"

[A pause.] "I helped a vampire commit suicide."

[At the very least, Hayley seemed concerned about the Perry situation. Maybe things had gone better than Crane had expected.]

He tried to kill me. My warden intervened. [Crane didn't provide any more details. It was really a somewhat embarrassing situation to have been involved in.]

[Crane looked at Hayley in surprise at the mention of the vampire-suicide.] I wasn't aware that was even possible. Which vampire was it?

"Why did he try to kill you?" [She asked curiously. Then it occurred to her that she didn't even know much about Crane's alleged caretaker.] "Who is your warden anyway?"

[To the latter, she shrugged and dropped her eyes again.] "Franklin? He killed me before. I talked him into killing himself when he was totally vulnerable. I mean, I had to finish him off technically? But he did most of it."

[She swallowed, seeming uncomfortable with the memory. When she continued, her voice was quieter.] "He exploded. There was blood.. everywhere."

Because he's insane. [Crane sniffed, trying to ignore the fact that his ribs still hurt from where Dawsey had gotten his well placed kick in.] My warden is a man called Eames. No first name that I know of.

[Crane was slightly chilled to here about Hayley's success with Franklin, but also glad to hear that she had other targets apart from him.] Well, at least he had the right idea. Did you get caught or is this Franklin keeping quiet about what happened?

[Crane took a sip of his drink. The description of blood didn't phase him. Worse things could happen. The explosion was unusual, but he was prepared to wait to hear about how exactly that had come about.]

"He has some anger issues, yeah.. That name thing is like, freakishly common around here." [She was referring to only having one name. Arthur didn't have a last that she could recall. Then there were Loki, Merlin, and others.]

[To the question about getting caught, she shrugged uncomfortably and took a sip of her coffee.] "Honestly? I got a little freaked out by the blood. I called Capa to help me take care of it.. and he did. We got in a fight about it and he took away my filters for a little while, but.." [She shrugged.] "That was it. Franklin told him not to blame me."

[Her tone was slightly more sadistic and amused by the end. After all, she had effectively killed someone and gotten away with it and still had every part of her arsenal intact. She took another sip.] "Oh! That reminds me. I want another vial of the toxin, since you used the one I gave you not on yourself."

Anger issues. [Crane laughed at that, rather bitterly.] I'll say. He's the first person on the barge that I've seriously encountered who'd be willing to beat you to death just because you happened to say the wrong thing.

[Crane trailed off. He didn't particularly like talking about Dawsey. He didn't particularly like thinking about Dawsey. In any case, Hayley's story was far more interesting that the Dawsey situation. The fact that Capa had been prepared to take away a body had not been what Crane was expecting.] It sounds as if that whole situation resolved itself adequately, even if the actions of all the parties were surprising.

[Crane looked at Hayley at the mention of the toxin and frowned. He honestly didn't have any of it available and no way of making it in the foreseeable future.] I don't have any, Hayley. Not even for myself. They were confiscated.

"That's not fair! There have to be like, at least four." [She smiled at him, trying to show she was joking and left it at that.]

[She shrugged about the incident with Franklin. Of course it could have been worse, but she still had trouble with how much blood there was and just how angry Capa had been; it was an unpleasant memory. In response, she only sipped at her coffee.

When he gave her an out by talking about the fear toxin, she jumped on it.] "By who?"
