Tales from Gotham

The Note

Dear Mister Penguin 

I have not seen you much and I have been on my own now. I got a job and was able to handle on my own but it felt like something was missing. I don't like working the office scene anymore but I know me and my nightmares irritate you sometimes. My voice still talks to me but he hasn't been as irritating as he usually is. I going to be entirely honest and say while I was away I did flirt around and seduce a few women in order to gain favors. I didn't have much interest in these women but they were so easy to manipulate. They were not smart like you are. If by reading this note you want to renegotiate the status of our relationship I understand. Just know that we share a bond, and no matter what happens, I will always care about you. I decided that ill just start committing white collar crime instead of getting an actual honest job. That part of my life is over and I am going to become one of the most notorious in Gotham, but probably never as well revered as you Mister Penguin. 

Sincerely yours Edward Nygma 

Ed had already left and gone home after Edward, Victor, and Penguin had found Jimmy. Eddy had gone home and Penguin had pulled out the note Ed left for him. He decided to wait the next day though. It was now 12 o clock and Wednesday afternoon. It had been a slow day so Penguin decided to open the letter. He was sitting at his desk in his bedroom and opens the letter to read it. After the reading he thought to himself. He should be angry at Edward. He basically said he was cheating on him but at the same Penguin had to wonder if he might have done the same. Gotham was a terrible city and it took terrible measures in order to survive in it. Penguin thought long and hard and pulled out a pen and paper and wrote a note back and sealed it in a white Envelope. He wrote on the front in cursive "To Edward" and the address on the front. 

After he wrote it Penguin stood up from his desk and walked into the living room. "Victor, would you be so kind as to deliver a letter for me, the address is on the envelope. Try not to let anyone notice you" Penguin says holding out the letter. Victor walks over and grasps it from Penguins hand and looks at it. He reads the name on it, and the address. He looks up at Penguin and asks "This for Eddy Boss"? Victor asks. "Yes, why I said try not to be noticed" Penguin asks. "Right boss" Victor says and nods. "Ill deliver it right now" He says. "Thank you Victor" he says. Victor gets in the car and drives to the motel and parks in front of it. "This seem to be the place" Victor says rechecking the address on the letter and walks to the door and knocks three time. Victor was wearing the same outfit from the night before. Edward was in a white wife beater tank top and long straight blue jeans. Edward is writing something when he hears the knock. He had assumed it was the niabhor woman. 

Edward puts down his pencil and smiles as he goes to open the door and turns the knob slowly and is surprised to see Victor. Victor quickly puts out his arm holding the letter. "Victor I wasnt expecting.." Edward is cut off when Victor speaks. "Mister Penguin has asked me to deliver a note to you, I didnt read it." Victor says with a straight face. "Oh, this must be a response" Edward says taking the letter. "Thank you Victor" Eddy says as he takes it from Victors hand. "I must be going now, ill be seeing you Ed" Victor says nodding his head. "Victor! Wait.." Penguin says. Victor turns around "Yes Sir"? He says with a smile. Edward found it charming how simalar Victors reactions to things were to his own. "We should hand out sometime again" Eddy says. "That sounds like a lot of fun Edward" Victor says. Victor grabs the envolope and turns it over and writes a phone number on it. "Call again, if you ever feel like hanging out again" Victor says handing the envolope back to Ed and than getting in his car and driving away. 

Edward shuts the door slowly and inhales deeply and exhales and goes to sit at the desk. He opens the letter and begins to read it. 

Dear beloved Edward Nygma 

I have read your letter and I can see why a normal 9-5 job might bore you. You seem to be have in the past ignoring a lot of impulses you had which were not being met. Being free feels nicer than putting on a show sometimes but we all must learn to behave, no matter what setting we are in. As for the women, I should be angry with you but I am not. I should ring your neck, but I did already try to murder you for it so I guess that is good enough. To be perfectly honest though, I dont really blame you. This is a desperate world after all and we all get by differently. You just happen to get by on flirting. Also while I dont understand your entertainment on manipulating women, I could understand the ego trip you might be getting from it.  I still love you Eddy, and I am not angry, but I ask you not do any such things without first alerting me of it. I find it rude to do otherwise behind my back. I am perfectly happy with you as my lover, even if you are gone for months or days on end. I am still happy to call you mine, if you still consider me yours. Thank you for he letter. Send me a text telling me if you got this. 

Dearest reguards Mister Penguin-Your birdy 

Edward smiles after reading the note. He was too lucky to have such a man as Mister Penguin in his life. He smiled and pulled out his cellphone and leaned back in his chair tilting it on one leg. He messages Penguin. 

Edward: Hello, my little birdy freind 

Penguin: Hello, Edward how are you doing 

Edward: Im wonderful, I just got your message. Victor delivered it swiftly. Im so happy you are not upset with me. I love you Oswald. 

Penguin:You know you ow me now, you are going to have to make it up to me *smirks* 

Edward: *smiles* Oh, Mister Penguin, I will do anything, just name it I will be there! 

Penguin: *smirk* Send me pictures of you naked, I want to show you to my freinds 

Edward: :D Oh Mister Penguin, that is so naughty. Is there anything particular you want me to wear? I know you are going to share it to try and embarrase me, but you know I dont got no shame. 

Penguin: That and maybe a kinky session where you get on all fours for me and peg 

Edward: This is getting kind of hot, you are such an alpha 

Penguin:You are such a slut sometimes Eddy 

Edward: I know, but im your slut 

Penguin: and everyone elses! 

Edward: :( Im sorry Mister Penguin, I promise I wont anymore. Would it make you feel better if I let you punish me? You could beat me, choke me, anything you want, burn me. Ill make it up to you I promise 

Penguin: That is indeed a tempting thought Edward, but I am a bit weary of trusting you right now. I know you truly care about me though, so I forgive you. 

Edward: Would you like to kill all the women? I can do it, I can send you thier heads, I can film it, you can watch the video and see them suffer. 

Penguin: Who is your latest one? 

Edward: My old boss but I dont go to that office anymore, we just went to watch baseball, not a lot happened. 

Penguin: Send me her head, and send me her heart, and put it in a nice little box wrapped in purple wrapping paper and maybe I will forgive you. 

Edward: I promise Oswald I will 

Penguin: Im coming over in 30 minutes 

Edward: What? To... Okay.. What did you want to do"? 

Penguin: I going to bring a riding crop, you better be ready 

Edward: Sounds sexy ;) Cant wait! Ill be waiting for you. Love you Mister Penguin 

Penguin: BE READY
