Rosabelle Darling is a beautiful and kind girl but is also very intelligent. She becomes a forensic scientist in the gcpd. There she meets Edward Nygma and they soon become good friends. Maybe even something more. She finds herself doing and feeling...
~that's Rosabelle~ Rosabelle's POV- I wake up hearing my alarm. I debate if I should stay in my cozy bed or get up, sure the answer would be easy if I didn't need to go to work today. I don't want to be late for my first day. So I decide to be the professional adult I am or at least should be, and get up. I quickly turn off my alarm since the noise was annoying me greatly. I get ready for the day, you know do the normal stuff everyone does in the morning brush teeth, take a shower, get dressed, brush hair, and eat breakfast

After finishing my breakfast I grab my bag and head outside. I work in the gcpd as the new forensic scientists and the place is within walking distance. I am really lucky I got this job, seeing that they already have a forensic scientist but I guess being old high school friends with James Gordon helps. I was kind of hesitant on accepting Jim's offer.
I really wanted to be able to do things, like getting a job, by myself. I am smart, way more intelligent than Jim that's for sure, but most of the time I get degraded to just a pretty face. But even though Jim got me the job I will show them I deserve the job.
Thankfully I was out of my apartment in good timing and have time to get there on time.
- small time skip brought to you by my bored mind- I get there just a little earlier than needed. As soon as I walk in I can see guys look at me. Ugh, men. " Rosy! Over here" and there is the infamous James Gordon calling me over to his desk. I hate that nickname and he knows it but I decide to just ignore it and head over to him. He's with a man kind of gruff-looking, he has a beard and mustache and a hat that covers his messy hair, he is also wearing a suit sort of like Jim's. To be honest he looks like he is an alcoholic but also looks like Jim's detective partner.
" Hello Jimmy," I tell him as I reach his desk. He rolls his eyes in return as he stands up to give me a small hug
"How you been?" " Great how about you? How is Barbara?" "Good. Good." cough " Oh, um this is my partner Harvey Bullock. Harvey this is my old friend from high school, Rosabelle Darling." The man I already predicted was Jim's partner stretches his hand out to shake mine which I politely accept.
"Hey there. I never knew Jim had such pretty friends." Jim rolls his eyes while I just make an awkward laugh in return.
"I'll show you to the commissioner's office so you can get started on your first day."
" Thanks, Jim."
"Wait you're going to work here," Harvey asks me sounding surprised which I'm not astounded that he did so most men are shocked when they see am a very intellectual.
"Yes, I am a new forensic scientist."
"Oh, your the girl Jim kept talking about. I was sure he was over-exaggerating about your looks."
" OK, we must be on our way come on Rosa." Jim was quick to take us away. I was barely able to say goodbye.
"What was that about ?"
"Oh, nothing he likes to joke around." I gave him a simple smile and nod in return, Then he knocked on the captain's door.
" Come in." a woman's voice responded. Jim opened the door and lead me in. There was a woman behind the desk with light brown skin, and curly brown hair, she is probably the captain since there was no one else there.
"Captain Essen. This is the new forensic scientist. The one I was talking to you about."
"Ah yes. Pleasure to meet you. My name is Sarah Essen" she shook my hand as I introduced myself.
" Rosabelle Darling. The pleasure is all mine Captain. "
" Yes, Jim told me about you" Jim blushed when she said that " Anyways welcome to the GCPD Darling. Jim will you please get her situated."
"Of course. Come on Rosa" I just nodded goodbye to Sarah and followed Jim.
" So as you know you'll be working with someone"
"Huh don't envy you. Kind of envy Ed though." Harvey says joining us.
"And why is that?" I ask him curious why it is such a bad thing being partners with this man.
"He's a very weird guy and has a weird obsession with riddles." he answers with an eye roll.
"Anyways this is your office but you'll be sharing it. If you have any troubles or questions you can always come to me."
"Of course. Thank you, Jim." I give him a tight hug and a peck on the cheek and head inside to my desk.
I hear them talking and Jim telling Bullock to shut up before their voices fade away. I take a moment to take in the office, it was very clean, a lot like my grandparent's home in England. Even the desk that looked taken was very clean and organized. After taking the place in, I begin setting up my things on my desk. Just as I was finishing setting up some of my books I hear the door open.
"Oh. Pardon me I didn't know someone was here."
"No worries, I was just finishing setting up my things. I'm Rosabelle Darling pleased to meet you"
"Ah yes, the new forensic scientist. Jim Gordon's friend right?"
"Correct and you are." he was a tall man with neat brown hair and brown eyes, he was a handsome man.
"I disappear every time you say my name. What am I?" I was confused for a moment but soon understood he was asking a riddle.
"Silence" I made a small laugh " and you must be Ed" His eyes filled with joy and he made a giddy smile but he also seemed surprised.
"You are correct but how do you know my name?"
"They have mentioned you before and your fascination with riddles. Which I'm glad since that means you are indeed an intellectual person and I too enjoy riddles. But would you tell me your full name, please? Ed just doesn't seem fitting enough for you" my quick-talking stuns him for a little bit but he doesn't fail to answer.
"Edward Nygma." I nod, now that name fits perfectly to him.
"That's a lovely name. You know you're the first person who doesn't immediately comment on my looks. It's refreshing honestly, not being told I'm a hot redhead."
"Well, you don't have to worry about that here. But I believe your hair is strawberry blonde though."
"Yes, it is. Finally, someone who I didn't have to explain my hair color to." then we both smiled and starred for while, glad to have found someone who could get us.
But the moment was ruined by woman storming in, quite mad. She had red hair styled in a ponytail, she also had a petite stature about my height. She looked like a librarian.
" Mr. Nygma what is the meaning of this?" she held up a cupcake with a bullet in it.
"I... it's a riddle"
" Well it's inedible!" a beautiful woman is a dangerous thing how could she not get it.
I do not pay attention to what she is yelling at Edward because I'm too focused on seeing the way Edward is responding to this situation. His eyes where full hurt and sadness, then it hit me, hard, he liked this girl.
This made me feel stupid, how could I start feeling for this man so soon, it was really stupid of me. But I still like him, but he doesn't like you, well at the very least I will just make it my mission to make him happy, even if it's not with you, yes even if it's not with me.
