Tales from Gotham

Clothes shopping

Edward  arrives  an hour later and the three and walk into the massive building. Johnathan had never seen a clothing shop this big before and he had also never heard of Kerrigan. His father use to just take him to Khols to get everything when he needed clothes. Barbara and Edward looks around for stuff for him to wear. Edward puts his chin on his hand and says "I wonder what we could get him that Penguin would find acceptable, if its too casual he is sure to complain about it" Edward says. Johnathan had wandered over to a rack with nothing but Tshirts with long sleeves under them. Edward walks up to the rack "So thats the style you are into then"? 

Barbara and Edward start picking out clothes for Johnathan to wear, putting them up against his frame to see if it would fit him. They picks out 20 long sleeve shirts being of various colors mostly dark ones. 10 of those were thermals. He also picked out 6 short sleeve button ups, 6 polos, 5 tshirts, and 3 long sleeve overshirt button up sweaters. They get some socks and they are in the ridiculous style Edward wears. Edward then asks John "Boxers or brief". Johnathan says "Trunks" and Edward nods and picks out a pack of Underwear. It was 5 to a back so he bought 20 of them. They hadnt bothered getting a basket so they were holding everything in thier arms. They take the clothes to the counter and pay for it and the cashier puts them in bags which everyone carries them. They had been in the mall and exited into the main walk way. 

  "Now we need to get shoes" Edward says as they exit the store. "I have shoes" the boy says showing Edward his beat up old converse that had already had holes in them. "You need new ones" Edward assisted. "Okay" the boy says. They walk into footlocker and Johnathan sits down and they try different shoes on him. They had settle on a pair of sneakers, they were black skechers. Edward tosses the old converse into the bag as they walk out of the store. Suddenly a wif of something sweet comes thier way. Johnathan follows the pleasant aroma. He comes up to a Cinnabon cart. "Would you like one sweety"? Barbara asks sweetly. The boy simply nods. She buys him one and afterward they exit the mall. 

After they exit a young red headed female in a striped knitted sweater. "Hey you, your Bruces look alike" she says to him. The boy speaks "I am John not Bruce" he says. "Do you know anything about Bruce"? she asks. "No I dont" Johnathan says. Ivy puts out her hand to shake "Well hi, Im Ivy Pepper" she says. Johnathan rubs his sticky hand on his pants and shakes her hand "Im Johnathan Crane" he says. His other hand is still holding the icy bun. "Hello Ivy" Barbara says with a smile. "What you doing out here" Edward asks "Im just looking for sombody" she says. Edward smiles "Would you like to come to the house, you know Jerome is with us" Edward asks, Jerome is over there."Yeah, he left and told us he was visiting someone" she explains. "He was visiting us, I been out of the area for awhile and recently came back, so Barbara and Jerome decided to come over" he says. "Sure ill come" she says. 

The four of them get in the car and the boy and girl sit in the back. Edward asks "who you looking for"? and Ivy says "Bruce" she explains. "Why"? he asks. "It was for Selina, Bruce has gone missing" she says.  "I asked his Butler but he said Bruce had been taken, and it had something to do with him questioning the Company and Indian hills" she explains. "Hm, sounds like something to do with Doctor Strange" Edward says. "Do you think you can help me find him"? Ivy asks. "I can certainly try, I did work for the GCPD before I turned to a life of crime" Edward says. The group of them drive start driving to the house after they loaded all the stuff they bought.
