Trick or treating in Gotham

The bell rang, the door opened, "Trick or treat?!" Jonathan watched in disgust as the plump woman in the door way laughed and handed over handfuls of candy, how had Jervis dragged him into this? He watched as the Mad Hatter accepted the candy and beamed at the complements on his costume, how convincing it looked, how he got the hair just right and how he looked just like the real Mad Hatter, blah blah blah. The door closed and Jervis walked back down the path to his friend, who had been waiting at the gate. "Isn't this fun?" he grinned. Jonathan did not reply. "Oh stop sulking, I know you are, under that sack of yours, I can hear you, sulking away." The Hatter continued this monologue all the way to the next house. Both the men where in full costume, but no one gave ether one a second glance, because it was not the first Hatter or Scarecrow they had seen that night. It was Halloween and everyone seemed to be dressed as a Rouge, or the Bats himself, no one noticed the real thing even if it knocked on there door, which in Jervis' case, was quite true.
They stopped at the gate of the next house. "Are you coming ?" Still no answer. "Suite yourself, but I'm not sharing my sweets with you if you refuse to at least come to the door!" Crane's scowl deepened beneath the Hessian of his mask, Jervis took his silence as a decline and skipped off down the path, leaving Jonathan by the gate. When the door opened Jervis removed his hat in a sweeping ark and held it upside down in front of him, "Trick or treat" he asked happily , the person behind the door dropped some candy into the hat, after thanking the candy giving man, Jervis turned on his heel and set off down the path.
When he reached the curb he looked inside the hat to see what sweets he had got. Scarecrow shot out his hand and snatched a fistful of candy from Jervis' hat. Jervis yelped from the sudden movement and turned on the laughing man. "See here Jonathan, give that back! If you wanted some you could have easily come to the door, the man would have given you some too!" Jonathan frowned under his mask and handed to candy back.
"Thank you, come on dear, you should be enjoying this, it being a celebration of fear and all that, I thought you would have jumped at the chance to scare the living daylights out of some civilians" Jonathan hadn't thought of it that way, he had almost forgotten that Halloween was not just a cheap commercialised way for shops to get money and kids to get candy, and he had also forgotten the meanings of the words "Trick or treat" "Okay Hat, you twisted my arm, lets go" As they walked down the street, Jonathan felt for the gas cannister strapped to his wrist, maybe this was going to be fun after all.
