Tales from Gotham

Oswald's Bully

Jimmy had grown up to be a skinny crack head. In school he was taller then Oswald and made fun of him for being a short mamas boy. He use to call Oswald a gay wimp, and bully him endlessly. Jimmy was actually very tall and had a broad frame. He had more meat on him when he went to high school but that was before he got on drugs. He use to steal Oswald's lunch money, beat him up, and all sort of tortures he could think of. Jimmy had a sort of sick pleasure in watching others suffer, and Oswald was just weak enough of a victim that he could mess with.

Jimmy had a bag of rocks and was going to pull them out and smoke them when her heard a loud bang on his door and then it was crashed open. He saw three men standing there. A Tall bald one with a creepy smile on his face, completly black outfit consisting of black boots, black jacket, pants and a black buttonup shirt. On the other end was someone just as tall with a dorky smile and dorky coke bottle glasses, combed brown hair, a green buttonup with short sleeves tucked into brown pants and brown penny loafers. In the middle was a short man, who was very skinny, wearing a tuxedo, and what looks like bowler shoes and a ridiculous fohawk. He had jet black hair.

The three men walk foward, the two taller men following after the short man with a fohawk. Jimmy reacts and runs and jumps behind the couch and pulls out a crowbar. "Aye, back off man, I aint playing ya hear"? He says holding the bar ready to strike. The Tall gentlemen with glasses passes the other two and grabs the crowbar and knees the man in the stomach and than swiftly swings it doward smacking the man in the head without a word. The skinny Jim grabs his head in pain "What do you guys want"? Ill give you the goods, just dont kill me" He says croaching oer holding his injured head. The Tall man with glasses speaks for a moment "I regret to inform you that we are here to torture and probobly kill you, you ow a debt which needs to be paid, but ill introduce me and my freinds" The Tall man with glasses says bending over to be eye leverl with the man. "My Name is Edward Nygma, That there".. He says pionting to the short man. "That is Mister Penguin, and you see that tall gentlemen with a shaved head" Edward says to him. "That, That is Victor, he kills people for fun, hes an assasin who really enjoys what he does" Edward says. "Any last words before you meet your demise" Edward asks with a smile.

The man gets up and is shaking "I.. I don't know what debt you mean, but I can give you the money I have from the dealings, I only have 2000$" he says to him as though that isnt considered a lot of money. Edward steps forward and smiles again "No, that isnt going to cut it, we came here for some games" Edward says with a smile. Penguin had a terribly disinterested look on his face. "Victor, help me tie up the man" Edward says with a smile. Victor smiles as well as he walks over and ties up the man "With pleasure" He says.

A moment later

The skinny man is gagged and bound to the chair and cant move. "Some good knots" Edward says smiling back at Victor. Victor smiles "Thank you Edward" He says. Penguin bends down and looks the man in the eyes "I really doubt this worthless primate is going to remember me Edward" Penguin says to him. Penguin pulls out the gag. "What do you want man? like im sorry for whatever you think I did but I got stuff I can give you dont kill me" He begs. Penguin says "Do you remember school"? Oswald asks him. "Im 34, I cant really remember any of that now" he says. "There was a little boy you use to pick on" Penguin says. The man trys to think "Cobblepot"? he asks. "You are cobblepot"? The man asks. "Yes, I am him" Oswald says. " I grew up and joined the mob, and than I made some very deadly freinds like dear Eddy here. Eddy enjoys killing people and he came to me wanting to murder someone, you were the only one I could think of to quench his blood lust you see" Oswald explains to him. The man is starting to panick "Like im sorry for what I did, we were kids, I was stupid! My life wasnt so great at the time, im sorry man" He says. "Well, you dont have to convince me honestly, you have to convince Edward" Oswald explains. "Edward"? He asks. He looks up at the tall man and Edward smiles and waves.

"Honestly, I had forgotten about it. Its not worth worrying about scum from childhood but dear Eddy has different ideas it seems" Oswald said as he walks to the kitchen "Do you have any liquor"? Oswald checking the cabinets. "Its not in the kitchen, its kept in the closet in the hallway" the skinny man says. Oswald goes and takes it out and goes to the kitchen and gets a glass and pours it in. He starts drinking it and smiles at him. "You are a wonderful host" Penguin says. Edward smiles and crouches slightly so he is in front of the man. "So, tell me why I shouldnt kill you" Edward says. "Oswald told us in the car what kind of awful things you did, use to burn, whip, beat, hang him over high places till he would scream for mercy, Why is that"? Edward asks. "I was a messed up kid man, im sorry, my life didnt get no better, im a crack head and I always need my next fix, killing me cant change anything" The skinny man says. "No, but its nice revenge" Edward says. "Why do you care so much"? The Skinny man asks. "Oh, ill tell you why" Edward says leaning over and whispers in the man ear "Oswalds my boyfreind" he whispers. Only him and the Skinny man could hear it. Oswald and Victor hadnt. The skinny mans face fell and he starts screaming out insults "I KNEW YOU WERE GAY YOUR LITTLE MAMA BOY FREAK"! Edward sighs and smacks him across the face with the crow bar. "Oh do shut up please" Edward says. "Im just going to kill you now okay"? Edward says with a smile.

Edward proceeds to beat the man repeatidly with the crow bar, the man winces in pain and after about 40 strikes is coughing up blood. "You fucking wierdos" The man says. "Oh, dont know when to shut up do you"? Edward says with a smirk. He starts to laugh. "Oh, I had a marvelous idea"! Edward says looking at victor. "Can you get me something scalding, to pour down his throat"? Edward asks. "Can try using the old oil from the car" Victor asks. "I need to change it anyways" Victor says. "Perfect hurry back"! Edward says. Victor had gone and retrieved the oil using a bucket he found in the mans yard. "No No" the man begged and Edward is searching the kitchen to find something to hold open his mouth. Victor held open the mans mouth and Edward proceeded to pour it while the man screamed in Agony. After about 15 minutes the man was dead. "Where you learn this trick"? Victor asks. "It was a very cruel method of punishment in the old days" Edward tells Victor. "I like History" Edward says with a laugh.

"What should we do with the body"? Edward asks. "Lets make him into a soup and give it to the childrens homeless shelter" Edward says. Penguin this whole time was simply watching drinking liqour in the kitchen. "I think they deserve better, dont you Edward" Penguin says. Edward smiles and say "I thought it would make us look charitable" Edward says. After four hours Victor and Edward had cut the man up, put him in a big pot and cooked him into stew. They then took this pot and dropped it at a homeless childrens soup kitchen. Edward is carrying the big pot, Penguin looking very unethuised next to him and Victor with a blank expression is next to him when he walks in. "Hello, Id like to make a donation" Edward says with a smile. He brings the big pot to a desk. A woman comes up to him "Did you make this yourself" she asks. "Of course" Edward says and nods. She picks up the lid and looks inside and closes it "Smells heavinly" She says. "I would hope so, its for the children" Edward says. "Wonderful, we shall serve it right now" she says. Edward smiles "glad to be a help to the less fourtunate" Edward says.
