Chapter 26: A Trip To Gotham

John was usually one to trust someone as great a threat that Henry was but in this particular situation he had no choice, once again an alien weapon found in Russia ended up in Gotham and he knew he had to get it back but he needed Henry's help

John gets out of his car as he closes the door and presses the button on his keys which causes the car to lock he turns and starts to walk as a "Whoosh" causes him to turn over

He sees Henry in normal clothes as he walks towards him

John: Thanks for doing this.

Henry scoffs as he doesn't even look at John

Henry: I'm only doing this cause there's something in Gotham I need, otherwise I wouldn't be.

John wanted to ask what was in Gotham that was important to Henry but he knew that if he asked questions, he wouldn't get the help he needed so he just shrugs it off

The two men walk past an old postal office, it looked like it seemed better days, they stop at the end of the sidewalk as they both look out at Gotham

Gotham became mostly a ghost town, people wouldn't come to a town like this not after what happened many years ago with the new joker

As Henry looks around, John noticed at the corner of his eye a little girl lying just a building

John smiles as he walks up to her kneels down

Henry's gaze turns to John as he sees what he's doing, he walks over to him and taps him on the shoulder

Henry: Hey. What are you doing? *John looks at him* We're not here to be helping hands.

John: She's a little girl Henry.

Henry scoffs as John stands up

John: Are you seriously gonna tell me not to help this young girl?

Henry glares at John and he looks down at the young girl, he tilts his head as he sees the sadness in her eyes, maybe her mother had abandoned her, maybe she left her here because she couldn't handle parenthood, tears fall down her eyes as she cuddles a dirt filled blanket tightly

Henry snaps out of it as looks back at John

Henry: We have other business to take care of. Let's go.

John sighs as Henry walks past him not before bumping his shoulder into him as John slightly chuckles

He looks down at the young girl as he bends down to her

John: I'll be back.

John pats her on the head as he stands back up and follows Henry.
