Tales from Gotham

On your own part 10

Afterwards the city goes back to how it was as the crowds are managed by Mister Penguin. Things seem to be back to relitivly normal, but the town now has absolutly loyolty to Penguin. The two females who Edward had met the day before are wondering where he is. Penguin is in his club checking in and is discussing business with one of the workers at the club and then someone familiar walks into the club. Its a tall skinny man with purple shades, an entirley green suit and pants and shined brown shoes and and a green bowler hat. Penguin is talking to a man at the bar and suddenly the man comes up behind Penguin and asks a question. "Once was warm, but now is cold, natural cause or inflicted harm, all will become me.. What am I"? the man asks and Penguin turns around "Y You cant be"? Penguin is in shock. "The man removes his hat and glasses and set them on the bar and puts them down and leaves his hands on the bar and leans over Mister Penguin. "Hello old freind, I guessing you missed me"?

Edward asks with a smile on his face. "You look like you seen a ghost Mister Penguin" Edward says with a laugh. "How are you not dead"? Penguin questions. "I had a vest on" Edward says. "You did a good job Ozzy" Edward says. "Go away Ed" Penguin says turning around. "Oh, come on, are you mad I tricked you into shooting me"? Ed asks. "No, im angry you betrayed me and didnt let me in on the plan" Penguin says. "Oh come on Ozzy, dont be like that" Edward says. Edward turns Penguin around and says "Can we talk outside"? Edward says. "Fine" Penguin says as they go outside.

Outside the club in the back Penguin crosses his arms. "You have 10 minutes to explain yourself Edward" he says. "Well, I didnt tell you since I wanted to do this on my own, I auctually didnt plan on you and Jim finding me, but it seems it worked out for the best, since I proved myself and now you have total control of everything in this city" he says. "Did you really find someone else"? Penguin asks. "No, you are the only one I promise" Eddy says. "Fine, so what now"? Penguin asks. "Well, I planned on going missing for a few months, but ill keep in contact wih you this time" Eddy says. "Sounds fair, Good luck Edward" Penguin says. "Good luck Oswald" Edward says as he kisses Oswald foreheard. "Ill be seeing you" Edward says as he disappears. Oswald seeming stressed walks back into the club.

Penguin comes back in and the man standing at the bar asks "Everything okay Oswald"? he asks. "Yes, everything is fine" he says. "You look stressed" The man asks. "Im fine, give me a shot of whiskey" Oswald tells the Bartender and the Bartender gives him a shot and Penguin takes the shot down quickly. "I will protect your territory" Penguin says as he leaves the bar and exits. Penguin has all sort of emotions after realizing that Edward has returned, that Edward planned everything without him, the thought that Edward might be disloyal to him, and the fact he tried to kill Edward and Ed didnt even car about it. He goes home that night and he doesn't tell anyone about the fact Edward is back.
