If not for the medication still holding her back, she'd have enthusiastically agreed. She had no intentions of letting anything stop her from finding her two darlings. Harley would fight tooth and nail before letting anything happen to them. That half-handed reassurance Crane had so casually offered actually gave her a sense of peace, a boost in confidence. Funny how the mild support of one other person just made her feel so much more capable.
His next answer was a great deal less encouraging. How was that possible? Even people outside Gotham had heard of The Joker. For it to not be 'terribly familiar,' he'd have to have been living under a rock for the majority of the last decade.
"...Between the Gothams we know?" she repeated. Maybe it was the sedatives, but he really wasn't making any sense. As far as she was aware, there was only one Gotham City in the USA. Although, if there were two Gothams and they were really far apart, maybe that would make a bit more sense... But what were the chances of there being another Gotham with another Arkham Asylum? ...And a guy named Jonathan Crane. Really, those were too many coincidences. And he had mentioned the Bat last time, too. There was no way there was more than one Batman, right?
The look she gave him indicated she though he was sputtering nonsense and she wasn't sure where he was going with this, but she'd go along with it anyway. She tried to steady her breathing so her speech wasn't so broken up. "...Well, let's see. The other Professor Crane is a friend of mine from Arkham. Kinda quiet, plays chess a lot, but nice if ya get to talk to him. Most people wouldn't think Scarecrow would be, but... Oh."
She cut herself short and just looked at Crane. Right. If he hadn't heard of The Joker, he probably wouldn't have heard of Scarecrow either. "Dunno if ya heard of him. Scarecrow was that guy with the weird powder and gas and stuff that makes people freak out. Dunno much about it 'cept what was on the news. Never really talked too much about that kinda stuff."
She was feeling a little better after the rest. At least the hallway around them wasn't spinning anymore. It was easier to focus and speak now.
