Tales from Gotham

Back at the house

Penguin and Edward come back to the house and rush in the door shutting behind them. "We have got some big trouble" Penguin says. Edward rushes in after them. Barbara is sitting on the the couch with the children. Jerome was not there and Victor had walked out of his room when he heard the door open and is fully dressed in all black. "What happened boss"? he asks him looking concerned. "Edward pissed off some people while looking for Bruce" Penguin says. Barbara gets up and looks at the kids "Children, pack your stuff, we are leaving for a few days" she says. "Where is Jerome"? Penguin asks. "He went home to take care of the park, something came up" Barbara says. The children run into the room and start packing. 

Barbara puts her hands on Penguins shoulder "What are you going to do"? she asks. "Man the fort and if not I have a hide out" Penguin says with a smile. Barbara nods at him. "Good luck Oswald" she says. "I dont need luck Barbara, I am Oswald Cobblepot" he says with a confident smile. Barbara laughs "You get them Mister Penguin" She says as she waits for the children to get their stuff ready. After about 20 minutes the children have their stuff ready. They go out the door. Edward looks at Penguin and Victor looks at Penguin. "Whats the plan boss"? Victor says. "Lets go somewhere more open" Penguin says. Penguin goes to his room and takes out his shotgun and smiles, Victor smiles and takes out his two pistols. Edward goes to his room and get his pistol. They all get into the car and drive to the Ice burg lounge. "Mister Penguin why did we come to your club"? Edward asks. "Simple Edward, its open, its been hit with gang violence before and its closed today" he explains. Penguin pulls out his phone "Gabriel, get all of the man and send them to the ice burg lounge immediately"! he says. "Alright let John deal with the fisherman but everyone else must come" Penguin says. Penguin hangs up the phone. 

Penguin sits at a table, and Edward and Victor take a chair. Penguin looks over Edward who has a smile on his face. "Ed, why are you smiling"? Penguin asks. "We get to shoot people" Edward says trying not to chuckle. "Well, you do not change at all do you Edward" Penguin says. 5 minutes later about 16 cards show up at the scene with about 5 people each vehicle and they all start walking in the door. The men are all various sizes and heights and all have different guns. They all start standing at different spots in the club. One of them is a husky gentlemen looking about 65, sits up against the bar and asks "So what we hear for Penguin"? he asks. "We have the court of Owls on our tail and waiting for them to come and try to find us" he says. "I thought they were a story" the man says. "Apparently not" Oswald says. 

Barbara point of View: 

The children had packed their bags and followed Barbara to the car. Barbara had decided to drive them back to the amusement park but hadn't told them yet. As they drive in the car Johnathan asks "Miss Keen, where are we going"? Johnathan asks. "The amusement park" BArbara says. "Do you think Mister Penguin and Ed are going to be okay" he asks. "Well sweety, Penguin deals with this type of trouble all the time, its part of the job, I sure he can handle himself" Barbara says. Ivy looks at Johnothan and places her hand on his. Johnothan looks over and Ivy smiles at him. Johnothan smiles back but still looks very worried. Johnothan doesnt want Edward and Mister Penguin to die. After she comes to the gate of the Amusement park, which are shut since its closed today she says to the children "Stay in the car one minute" she says as she parks the car and get out. She puts her finger on the button "Hey! Its Barbara, please let me in somebody" she says. After 5 minutes the doors open. The person who comes to the gate as it does is Selina. "Hey, how you doing Barbs"? She asks. "Hello Selina, there has been a little problem looking into the missing of Bruce" she says. Selina face drops "What? What happened"? she asks. "Ivy asked Edward to look, Edward was kidnapped, Penguin saved Edward, and now the people who took Bruce are out to get Penguin and Edward" She explains. "What? Are you serious? We have to help them!" She says. 

"Well Penguin and Edward probably went elsewhere and Penguin probably called in all his men and is having a major shoot out" she says. "We probably should interfer" she says. "Where is Ivy"? Selina asks. "In the car with Johnny" she says. "Johnny? You mean that kid that looks Similar to Bruce"? she asks. "So you know of him"? Barbara asks. "Yeah, hes a odd kid, he staying with you"? Selina asks. "Yes, but we all left the house and I brought him and Ivy here while Penguin and Edward deal with this business" she explains. Selina nods "Cool, hell have fun seeing all the other kids" Selina says as she walks back in. Barbara waves at the car "Children! You can come out"! she says. The kids unbuckle and unpack thier bags and carry them in as they walk into the place. Ivy runs up to Selina and Selina turns around and hugs her. "Im sorry Selina, I tried finding Bruce, I found this kid but I ended up getting everyone in trouble" she says. "Its okay Ivy, its not your fualt and gang members are always in trouble, I dont think its anything they are not use to, I sure they will find Bruce" Selina says. 

Ivy lets go and Selina looks at Johnathan and Johnathan smiles. "How you doing Kid" she says. "Im okay" Johnathan says. "So he speaks" Selina says. "So, how you treating Ivy" Selina asks. "Well uhm, she asked me be her boyfriend" he says. "You what"? Selina says looking at Ivy. "Hes sweet though" Ivy says. "Well, you work fast" Selina says. "Come on you dorks" Selina says as she walks into the park and walks towards the area where all the children are eating dinner. All the heads look up at the new kids in curiosity.
