    Summary

    Dr. Y/n L/n is twenty-one, GCPD's youngest lead detective and head biochemist, and the only person in Gotham who might be able to stop Scarecrow's new Fear Toxin before it ends the city.

    When Halloween night goes wrong, she doesn't end up working the case from a lab—she ends up in a cage in the middle of the Arkham Knight's headquarters, with Jonathan Crane cataloguing her like a specimen and the Knight himself deciding, hour by hour, what she's worth to him.

    She was supposed to be a hostage. She wasn't supposed to survive this long, and she definitely wasn't supposed to start recognizing something in the man behind the visor—or in the monster who keeps calling her remarkable while he takes her apart.

    A slow-burn, canon-divergent Arkham Knight fic about captivity, science, and what's left of a person after everyone stops looking for them.
