A Storm Rising

Chapter 7

Nygma

I opened the doors to the precinct, I was a mission and that was to find Jim.

I looked around and saw him standing at his desk with his partner and a couple of other officers. I started walking up the stairs to his desk, taking slow easy strides like nothing was the matter.

I didn't even know what I was doing, I just wanted to talk. The fire inside me said it wanted to do something else. Something violent.

"Jim?" I questioned in my usual voice, slightly chipper. Very unlike the tone I had been using with him lately.

"Ah Nygma," he responded looking to me as he stood behind his desk. He placed his hands on his waist, pushing his suit jacket up slightly. "Did you hear the news?"

I blinked in surprise, "News?"

He nodded, "Yep!" then he sat down in his chair to explain.

I stood at the corner of his desk looking down at him.

"I apprehended three of Fish Mooney's men last night. Got them locked up in the cells as we speak. Assaulting a police officer, doesn't look too good for them. Slowly we will get information out of them about Mooney's plans and whereabouts.." he explained.

"Did you ask Oswald Cobblepot to join you last night?" I asked interrupting him.

He stopped in mid sentence when I had interrupted him. He nodded before speaking. "Well after you let me in on his little plan, I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. Only fair."

Fair? FAIR?! raged the fire inside of me.

My outward appearance was unmoved by his speech.

"What happened to him?" I asked even though I knew what had happened. She beat the fuck out of him and strung him up to die of shock in a meat locker.

Again, I only ask most questions to stroke my own ego.

Gordon shrugged at the question. "Why does it matter?" he asked. "He got what was coming to him, it should be the last time he underestimates me."

I blinked at the response he just gave me.

Wow. The Gordon I was head over heels infatuated with, in love with, was actually this selfish and arrogant. I thought him more of the gentlemen type honestly. Fooled me.

"Well as the saying goes Gordon, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

"What?" Gordon asked looking up at me in confusion. "What have I fool..."

But my actions cut him off from his inquiry. I don't know what happened, I must have snapped, the fire inside me blew into an inferno and before I knew what I was doing I hand my hands in Gordon's hair forcing his face into his own desk.

The slamming of his head into the wooden desk woke the precinct up, at that point I couldn't hear anything as I was on top of him forcing him to the floor.

He was caught off guard as I had the surprise advantage, but he quickly regained his control and we started grappling one another on the floor. I was punching and kicking, probably even biting. I have no idea what I was doing, I finally had lost it.

Gordon was on top of me punching me and then trying to restrain me. Other officers finally reached the two of us and pulled us apart. I was spitting out words at that point as two officers had me restrained and I was rubber against them.

"YOU SELFISH COWARD, YOU LEFT HIM TO DIE YOU SON OF A BITCH."

Gordon licked the side of his lip as it was bleeding. I got a few good wails in on him, I busted up his face pretty good.
