Tales from Gotham

Showdown at the iceberg lounge

Edward, Victor, and Penguin drive to the Iceberg lounge which is the club that Mister Penguin was in charge of running. It took about 10 minutes to get there and Victor was driving the vehicle. The three walk up to the double doors and Penguin pulls out a set of keys and unlock them. Penguin was wearing his typical tuxedo, Victor was wearing all black, and Edward is wearing a yellow button-up, sleeves folded up to his shoulder tucked into his brown khaki pants and brown shoes. They walk into the empty club and the three sit down at one of the tables. No one is there today. Penguin pulls out his phone "Jerald, I need everyone to get down to the club right now! Okay fine leave Gabe with the fishermen dealings but everyone else needs to drop everything they are doing right now"! Penguin hangs up the phone and puts it in his pocket.

15 minutes later 16 cars showed up outside the lounge and walked into the place and start filling up the club. Penguin had his shotgun on the table, Victor had one of his two pistols on the table, and Edward had his single pistol on the table as all the people walked in. One very husky older looking man leans up against the bar and says "So, what we here for boss"? he asks. "We have some trouble with the court of Owls and they are after me and Edward now" Penguin says. "Thought those guys were just a story" he says. "Tony, you know all stories around Gotham City are probably true, no matter how unlikely they sound" Penguin says. The men all pull out their guns casually waiting for the men to come.

20 minutes later 12 people wearing Owl masks come barging in with machine guns and start shooting around randomly around the bar. Everyone takes cover and Edward flips the table over and Edward, Penguin and Victor hide behind the table. One of the men stands up from the bar and shoots at one of the court of Owls who falls to the floor. three of the mob members stand up from the floor and shoot but then get shot and falls to the floor and than the court of Owls guns run out of bullets and the rest of the mob members stand up and start shooting. All but 12 of the members of the court have about 50 bullets holes in them each but one of them was wearing armor and isnt completely dead yet. He groans in pain and Penguin, Edward, and Victor stand up and go around the table and walk up to him. Victor picks him up by the neck and says "You better talk" he says. "Ill die before I talk"! the skinny man still with the Owl mask on spits at him. Victor puts a gun to his head. "I would happily arrange that" Victor says. "Stop Victor"! Penguin says in a commanding voice. Penguin walks up to the man and smiles "Listen friend, there are things far worse then death, and you see my friend here" he says putting a hand up to Eddy chest. "He enjoys torture, and murder and I am going to let him have so much fun with you, I suggest you talk before I let him have his way" Penguin suggests. The man looks over at Edward and Edward has a grin that appeared on his face and looks excited like he is holding back a squel and looks down at Oswald. "Really Mister Penguin"? Ed asks. "Yes, I am just about done with these idiots, if torture is needed I would be more than happy to let it happen" Oswald says. "I I... What do you want to know"? the skinny man in a mask asks.

"What is all of this about and where do I find Bruce"? Penguin asks. "Bruce is with the court, they trapped him on an island somewhere, Bruces Father was part of the Court before he was murdered and he threatened to expose us, so he was killed for it, we are a secret organization that runs everything". The man confesses. "What Island is he on?" Penguin says. "Kayler Island, there is no map its on, its a secret place, there is a man who can give you directions" he says. "Drop him Victor" Penguin says. "Right boss" Victor says dropping the man to the floor. Penguin pulls out a paper and pen and hands it to the man "Write down the information of the man, who I need to speak with" he says. The man does as he asks and hands Penguin the paper. Penguin reads it over and nods "Good" and puts the paper in his Jacket. "Now, Edward get rid of this disgrace" Penguin says. "Wait? What! I gave you what I wanted" the man says. "Yeah, but while I usually honest, I lied this time, I going to let Eddy have you. I dont like being crossed you see, and I dont like when people take my freinds for hostage either" Penguin says in spite and walks off. "Victor, you may join Eddy if you wish, have fun you two" Penguin says as Victor and Edward grab the man and drag him away and Ed has the most wicked grin on his face "I am going to have fun with you"! Edward says. "No! PLEASE SIR"! NOOOOOO".

The bar is still filled with about 80 of Penguins men. "Now, I going to need about 30 of you to stay and the rest of you may go back to your stations" Penguin says. about 30 men wait and the rest leave the bar.
