Tales from Gotham

A favor

Penguin steps out from his room in his pjs and starts to get dressed. There is a knock on the door. "Just a minute" he yells as he walks over to the door and he turns the door handle. He sees Edward Nygma standing in front of him. Edward has a goofy grin as usual.

"What can I help you with my freind"? Penguin asks him politly no malice in his vioce when he says it. Penguin would not readily admit it but he become rather fond of Eds company. Penguin hated and distrusted most people, while he knew Ed was clearly crazy, he did

not think Ed would ever hurt him, and Ed seemed to enjoy helping. Edward was more then eager to serve Penguin when he had things he needed. Ed seems to be a real people pleaser, and Penguin assumed this was just part of his personality. He knew Ed never did anything

with ill intentions, when he offered others assistance. He just seemed to like helping. "Well, I have a meeting with a client, and they dont really trust me, and its a very dangerous person I was wondering if you would come" he asks. Penguin scoffs "Ed, while I am king

of Gotham, and clearly very clever, would you look at me?" he says to him. "Im a cripple, and not much of a fighter, what good would I do if things turned ugly" he says. "This is true Mister Penguin, but you are better at negotians and a better talker then I, I thought

perhaps, you might have better luck"? he says. "Ah, well I suppose I could, but you would Ow me one" Penguin says with a smirk. Hes unsure if Ed would take this as teasing, or sincere but he was testing. Ed was also very bad at sociol ques so even if he was kidding

he might not have realized. "Well, I Ow you much already Mister Penguin, and I would be happy to repay you in whatever way you see fit" Edward says with a smile "Even if it means my life" he replys. Penguin sighs "Dammit Ed, why do you always go back to this life and

death, while I might threaten you, I dont really want you dead. Not only are you a useful asset, you are a.. You are a good freind Ed, and I not saying that like I do to most people. I do consider you a freind" Penguin says. Ed smiles back at penguin "I am glad you consider me such Mister Penguin".
