Tales from Gotham

Penguins Mother

Penguin and Ed were at his club drinking, chatting business, and chatting about life. "Do you think she would be happy with what I done with my life up to now? I became mayor of the city, something auctually respectable" Penguin says as he taks another shot. There is a large bottle of Whiskey

in the middle of the table. Ed is not much of a drinker himself but he does drink on occasion. He noticed Penguin did drink a great deal and Penguin seemed to drink heavily. Ed knows that despite what he told him, that Penguin is still grieving the loss of his mother, and it becomes more apperent

when he is drunk. Penguin seemed to be able to drink a lot without passing out though. Edward smiles and says "Im sure, she would have been very proud". Edward is not very good at sociol interactions but he does feel sympathy for penguins suffering. Even though he doesnt think it really matters

to penguin if he does. Penguin is the type to wallow in self pitty when hes upset, he doesnt like others pittying him. Ed smiles and says "I command respect, I carry a nation, my name is known across the lands, what am I"? Ed asks. "You are... A King"? Penguin awnsers the riddle.

"Yes, Kings dont mope." Ed says. "throw hell and too, I will remain, by your side, until we break the tie" Ed says. Penguin doesnt understand why Edward isnt just more direct sometimes. Why does he have to speak in riddles. "Freind"? Penguin guesses but sure he is wrong. Not really caring though

as he knows Ed will correct him if he is wrong. "Correct, you have a freind, and thats something to be happy about" Ed says with a smile. Ed feels bad as he thinks he not really helping Penguins current state very much. "Would you still be my freind if I lost being mayor" Penguin asks. "Of course"

Edward says with a grin. "Why would you"? Penguin asks. "I admire you Mister Penguin, you have an unbreakable spirit, an endless conviction. You also are very smart" Edward says. "I admire spirit and intelligence" he says. Suddenly there is gunshots. Penguin ducks under the table so does Edward.

A group of people break it. Its the freaks of Gotham. Lead by none other then Fish Mooney. When the shooting has stopped Penguin and Edward get out from under the table. "Why didnt you stay dead when I killed you the first time" Penguin spits out at her. "Well, you didnt either did you penguin"?

Mooney says to him with a smile. "You look as horrible as ever" Penguin says spitefully. "Right, your in no place to talk" she says. The staff of the club come out and its a stand off. Nygma smiles "GCPD is already coming, you should be running". Penguin looks at Ed "But, they will arrest most of the

people here too" Penguin says. "You are the Mayor, I work for you, and the people here are simple club workers, what can they do"? Edward says with a smile. "This isnt over Penguin"! Mooney says and leaves the premises.
