Vampires of Gotham

Chapter 25

Gotham

Cullen Manor

Carlisle POV

Carlisle paced around his office.

The whole of Gotham was ablaze with the latest gossip concerning them, everywhere he went he would overhear someone talking about his family. They talked about how the girls had gotten expelled from school, talked about Emmett getting into trouble and had now been banned from several shops. the latest scandal they talked about involved Bella, they spoke about the crush she had developed on Wayne's Kid and how she had slapped him after being rightfully rejected by him (Carlisle scoffed at that, the boy should have been honored that someone as beautiful as her even looked at him, and from what he could see Bella was far better than that girl he was with), what really got the tongues wagging was not only was Bella and Edward in a relationship with each other but also how this wasn't the first time Bella had done something like this, they had found out that she had attacked another girl before all over a boy she had liked.

Everything was being blown out of proportion and it was ruining the standing he worked so hard on achieving. in fact ever since they came to this damn city things had been going wrong, people don't look at them as they should, they don't act as they should around and his 'family' was suffering because of it to make matters worse Jasper who had been his heir, had become mad and ran off into the woods and hadn't back yet, Carlisle was just thankful that Jasper hadn't been seen by any of the people of Gotham as Carlisle wouldn't have been able to deal with the shame Jasper would have brought down on them if he had been seen by someone acting like a mad man.

Turning his head Carlisle paused slightly when he saw that morning paper on his desk its headline looking up at him

Wayne's Fundraiser Beats Last Year's Target Once More!

Wayne.

That was it!

Carlisle would talk to Bruce Wayne. He was sure he could convince the man to see things his way, to see that Bella was innocent he was sure the man would see sense after all Bruce had taken a boy in after finding him on the streets so he would know that boy isn't hundred per cent trustworthy. Carlisle knew that if he played it just right he could get the man to disown the boy (something he had done before when a boy had insulted Rose when he refused her attempts to get him to court her), it would not only take the eyes of the city off his 'family' but it would always make sure the boy's low-class blood didn't mix in with the blood of the high society spoil it.

Carlisle turned around and picked up his office phone, he then typed in the number for Bruce Wayne (he has seen one Doctor place the number into a telephone when he had been at the hospital)

"Hello My name is Doctor Cullen, I need to speak to..." Carlisle said to stay only for a young boy's voice to interrupt him

"You're not a doctor, you lost that position"

"I am a Doctor, I have studied for years to become one! You will..."

"Yet you threw all of that away with your actions at Arkham. but then I heard you weren't that good of a doctor anyway."

Carlisle's face twisted into a look of pure rage at the boy's words. His hands itched to discipline the boy for his rudeness.

"How dare you! You insolent child! I am the best Doctor that place ever had, now I need to speak to Bruce, put hi..."

Carlisle looked at the phone before he rang the number once again.

"Hello! Wayne manor. Dick speaking! what can I do for you?"
