Free Falling: A Gotham "Love" Story

Chapter Twenty-Four: This Is Gospel

"Hello from the other side, I must've called a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry for everything I've done."

(Third Person POV)

"Are you sure about this? We can just leave and go home if you're not up to it."Jonathan asks as Amy looks at the entrance of the crypt, her breathing becoming quite shallow. While she was incredibly curious about why Hush put up an incredible fight in order to get rid of her, she wanted to get the hell out of there.

"Is Thomas awake yet?"Amy asks after a while, turning around to see Selina and Batman nod. Batman picks up a slightly conscious Hush and walks him over to her.
"What's in there? You wouldn't try to kill me, well you wouldn't have tried so hard to kill me, if you didn't know what we're about get."

"Why don't you open it and find out?"Hush asks arrogantly and Batman twists his arm hard enough for Hush to exclaim.
"It's something meant for you and Sarah. That's all I could tell from the notes Uncle George, your father, had hidden in his old room. I don't know exactly what it is."

"I guess we're finding out then."Sarah says out of nowhere, Oswald throwing her a worried look.

"We have to give blood right? The three remaining from this bloodline."

"Well four if you count Sarah's child as an Elliot."

"Don't worry Thomas, he's going to be a Cobblepot through and through. But that's why you wanted me to be safe, isn't it? If you accidentally killed Amy before time, you had a plan B."Sarah says angrily

"Exactly my dear. Don't worry though, I wasn't planning on killing the child. I'm insane and diabolical but even I have limits."Hush says nonchalantly

"I cannot believe that I'm even remotely related to you. Even if you were kind to me when I was a child."

"Sarah, I was kind to you because your sister was always galavanting with Bruce Wayne and never paid you any attention. You and I were actually close for the 5 year age difference there was. Though that all changed when your adoptive father died. Amelia actually decided to start caring for you and paid attention to you so you didn't need me. And to emphasize because I'm expecting a remark from Edward, I only did so because I related to you. Not because I had feelings to you."Hush says quietly

"Thomas-"

"Just get this over with. Look Batman, can you let go of one of my hands if I'm suppose to spill my blood and everything? Amy as you would know, the ten blade would be most beneficial."Hush says as Batman raised an eyebrow and sighed, releasing one of Hush's hands

"Sarah, we don't have to do this if you're not up to it."Oswald says as he notices his wife shaking a bit

"I'm fine, Oswald. I'm just queasy about blood."Sarah says, stepping up next to Amy as they face the large menacing doors. In front of the door, there was a small dish that had begun rusting and the two sisters nodded in agreement. Amy, Sarah, Hush and Batman, who was still holding Hush by his other arm walked towards the door and stopped once they got there, Amy looking at the blade in her hand. She quickly stabs the middle of her hand, letting out a quick yell.

"Do you want me to cut your hand or do you want to do it yourself?"Amy asks as Sarah raises an eyebrow

"Only if you don't stab my hand like you did yours."Sarah says as Amy makes the cut and walks over to Hush
