Tales from Gotham

Eddys Nightmares

Its been three weeks and Eddy is now regularly taking his medication. However a change has happened which is disturbing the rest of the house or at least its disrupting penguin as he can hear Eddy moving around the house at all sort of late hours of the night. Penguin decides to get up one night and see whats going one. So one night Penguin leaves his bedroom and sees Ed walking down the hall. "Penguin"? Ed whispers softly when he sees him. "Hello" He says. "Ed, you been making so much noise the past three weeks, what is your issue" he asks. "The medication gives me Nightmares, so I not been able to sleep very well" Edward says. Penguin sighs "Youre annoying on and off your medication" Penguin says. 

Penguin grabs Eds hand and says "Follow me". Eddy questions it "Why"? he asks. "Your sleeping with me tonight" he says. "Are you sure"? Eddy says. "Yes, because that way you can't make anymore noise, and maybe you will sleep" he says. "If you say so Mister Penguin" Eddy says following Penguin to bed. Penguin lays down on his side his back facing Ed and Ed sleeps on his back. "Go to sleep Ed" Penguin says. Ed falls asleep and has another nightmare and wakes up, but sees penguin is snuggled up in his chest and goes back to sleep. 

The Next morning, Penguin is out of his room. Penguin is sitting with Victor drinking and watching the news as she seems to do most morning. "How did you sleep"? Penguin asks. "Okayish" Ed says. "You cant take them anymore" Penguin says. "What? Really"? Ed says. "You are more annoying with your stupid nightmares" Penguin says. "What about the bodies" Ed asks. "Well figure out something else" Penguin says. "Do you guys want any breakfast" Ed asks. "Yes, please" Victor says with a smile. "Yes, Thank you" Penguin says keeping his serious expression. Ed makes them both breakfast. After breakfast Victor and Penguin leave. 

Ed cleans the Dishes and lays down on the couch in front of the tv and puts on the science channel. Barbara comes in and says "May I sit with you Ed"? She asks. Ed sits up "Yes, Hello Miss Keen" Ed says. "So, hows it going"? She asks. "Im tired" He says. "Still with the nightmares" she asks. "Yup" Ed says. "What penguin say"? Barbara asks. "To stop taking them" he says. "Hm, so what will you do about the random corpses" Barbara says. "I have no idea" Ed says and sighs. "Maybe, I can find a different one" Barbara says. "What"? Ed says. "I know someone I can ask" She says. "A Dealer"? Eddy asks. "No, its a pharmisist" she says. "Oh, well alright" Eddy says. "Tell me what they say" Ed says. "What do you have nightmares about"? she asks. "Just flash backs about how my dad use to beat me as a child" Eddy says. "Im sorry Eddy" She says frowning. "Its okay" Ed says.
