Tales from Gotham

Scares and Marks

Edward had decided the next morning to visit Barbara. He figured she already had a suspicion he was alive and thought he would say hi. He decides to visit Barbara at the amusement park. He is wearing a lose green short sleeve button up. The sleeves only went to his elbow. He had loose fitted blue jeans and sandals on. Though he had faint scars and bruising on his arms too. The park is open. He buys a ticket at the ticket booth and ends up walking to the circus performing show. He sits in the audience, he waits till the show is over before he walks around and approaches Barbara as she leaves the stage. "Hello, wonderful show" Eddy says. Barbara is stunned "Hanh, EDDY! I knew you were alive"! She says as her face lights up and she smiles as she runs up to hug him. Eddy smiles and hugs her back. She runs to Jerome who was leaving the stage. "JEROME GUESS WHAT"! She says excited. He looks back at her curious "Oh, What Barbs"? He asks. Barbara smiles and pointed at Eddy. Jerome looks and notices Eddy as his face changes into a smile. "Well, speak of the dead"? he says as he walks over tilting his head. He was wearing his lion tamer outfit. "Put it there friend" Jerome says putting out his hand to shake. Eddy thinks he is going to be shocked but shakes his hand anyway and is not surprised when he feels a shock and pulls away.

Eddy laughs "You havent changed Jerome" Edward says with a laugh. "So, howed you come back from the dead"? Jerome asks. "I just never really died" Eddy says with a smile. "It was all a big ruse" Eddy explains. "Ah, clever Eddy, so you here just to visit or do you want to come work maintenance again? Or I could try putting you in the show if you would like, could use some fresh talent, ya know"? Jerome says. "Im just visiting, I haven't seen you guys in awhile" Edward says with a smile. Barbara notices scares on Edward chest as Eds shirt was unbuttoned at the top. "Ed, what happened"? she says going to touch his scares. Ed pulls back and buttons the last button on his shirt. He made a mental note to wear make up or wear a different shirt next time. "Just, a rough night with my lover" Eddy coughs. "Oh, were you two getting kinky"? Jerome says raising a brow. "A bit... I think we took our game a bit far and Im terribly sore now, but I dont think ill forget it" Edward says. "Damn Eddy, I know you were a hard core Kinkster, should discuss some of your ideas with me sometime, maybe ill try them with Barbs" he says. Barbara elbowed Jerome in the stomach. "JEROME" she says.

This earns her a laugh from Jerome "Sorry Doll" he says. "Was only joking"... "No Im not" Jerome whispered to Eddy. Barbara looks at Eddy and grabs him by the collar pulling him foward and looks at Ed "Is he hurting you" Barbara asks looking at him seriously. "N not in a bad way I promise" Eddy says with a nervous chuckle. "He better not be Eddy" Barbara says. Eddy laughs about the fact Barbara is so protective of him. He knew that Barbara still considered him a friend even in the long absence. Jerome laughs at Barbara reaction. "So, hows things been for you guys"? Eddy asks with a smile. "Fantastic! We been making so much money! This place is packed most day" Jerome says. "Good to hear" Eddy says with a smile. "You know, I really appreciate your services, they really helped the park" Jerome says. Barbara smiles "Eddy! Lets get you some snacks! I missed you"! Barbara says grabbing his hand and drags him off.

Jerome walks off and does some other business. She takes him to a stand and asks for a cotton candy, the guy gives her a free one since she works there. She also orders funnel fries and a hot chocolate which was served in a soda cup with a straw and whipped creams. She sat Eddy down at a bench and smiles sitting next to him. Barbara was in a tutu outfit. Edward started eating his cotton candy first. She smiles "What you been up to Eddy? I must know!" she says with a smile. "Well, first I went to the other end of Gotham and rented a Motel, Then I needed to get stuff for killing, and the house so I took a bus to home depot, and than asked some dudes there outside the store to help me carry it home and promised to pay them, they agree and then I murdered them and disposed of the bodies and later used the imformation from thier wallets to get money, and than I ended up buying the car from the guy at the place since it got impounded since the Motel I lived at had a rule about motel room parking only.

So I ended up going to walmart to get some other things and met Bailey and she gave me her number, and than later ended up saving a chick being approached in an alley way and killed the men there. She gave me her number and I dated Bailey and the woman I rescued at the same time without telling them about each other. Then I pulled my scheme which sent the town into a riot and Penguin and Jim decided they needed to calm the disaster and then I pissed off Penguin by telling him I found someone better and he shot me. However I later found him and told him I wasnt dead. After which my freind Bailey got me a job as an accounting clerk, and I ended up seducing my boss and was still dating the other women. I later ended up coming back to penguin and gave him a letter explaining everything I been up to and he forgave me but was upset. However I said he may punish me to make it better and could do anything to me and he did EVERYTHING, not that I didnt enjoy every bit of torture and pain he gave me. So now I am scarred and marked head to toe" Eddy explains. Barbara is amazed. "Wow Eddy, you sure been up to a lot havent you"? She asks. "Yes, I have" Eddy says with a smile. "God, I missed Oswald so much" he says. "So you are working in an office now"? she asks. "No, I got bored and started doing random murders to mess with the police, and now sticking to white collar crime to make money. I missed all you guys. I wanted to come back to say hi. Me and Penguin had a rough night at my motel" Edward says. "Jeese you guys get rough dont you"? She asks. "Sometimes, this time it was mostly Oswald was angry and wanted to make me his again" Edward explins. "Terrotorial isnt he"? Barbara remarks. "Yeah, but that isnt news to either of us is it? Its kind of ovbious he like that isnt it"? Edward says. "So true Edward" She says.
