Evangeline was finally released, after convincing Hugo she had gone insane, and rehabilitating again. Nygma had never even showed. She walked free, a mission set on finding Oswald. She still had the scrap of paper, and she pulled it out, reading it over and over.
After hours of studying a map, Evangeline found where she needed to go. She walked up the steps to a grand house, and rung the doorbell.
"Who wishes to see Mister Cobblepot?" A butler asked.
"Evangeline." She answered.
"He has never mentioned an Evangeline." The butler said monotonously, "Are you sure he invited you to see him?"
"I'm positive, thanks." Evangeline smirked, moving to push past the butler.
"I'm sorry, miss, but you can't see Mr. Cobblepot." The butler pushed her aside, and she scraped her knee on the steps.
"I know for a fact that I can, actually. He told me to come here when I finally was able." Evangeline tried again, aggravated.
"Please leave, Miss." The butler said.
Oswald started walking down the stairs. He looked at the open door, then past the butler to Evangeline.
Their eyes met, both widening.
"Evangeline..." He hobbled down the stairs as quickly as he could. Evangeline pushed past the butler, meeting him in the doorway. Oswald threw his arms around her, holding her tightly. Evangeline buried her head in his chest, putting it against his pounding heart.
"I began to think...I was scared I would never see you."
"I'm here, Penguin. Oswald, I'm right here." Evangeline gripped him harder, tears coming loose from her eyes. "Are we still...just friends?"
"What? No? No." Oswald was stroking her hair now. "I wasn't me when I said that. I was someone else."
"Are you the exact same man I knew?" Evangeline asked, praying and hoping the answer yes.
"I'm me again. The same man you knew before Arkham." Penguin answered, pulling Evangeline closer. "Maybe even madder."
"Madder is better." Evangeline whispered, before pressing her lips against his, needing him more desperately than she ever did before.
