Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Cobblepot's Spy: 12. Maroni's Spy

I was going to kill Maroni, my uncle's great idea for my to spy on Penguin was stupid. He wanted me to get close to Penguin, since 'him and Falcoen are on good terms' they will think nothing of it, I was dressed in a black lacy sleeved long sleeve shirt, black boots and black jeans. Black lipstick and dark makeup. My gun on my belt and my dagger on the otherside of my belt.

I waked into Oswald's hearing a woman singing, I stood at the back of the club to see Gertrud singing and Oswald sitting down, I crossed my arms as I watched her finish "-The whole world Smiles with you" when nobody started clapping Oswald stood up quick and started clapping, people followed suit and I smiled. He may be a snitch and a idiot, but he cares for his mother.

"Mwah! Boo! Get off, you old bag" Oswald turned and looked back at the man at the bar, I raised a eyebrow as Oswald stood up and buttoned his jacket, Gertrud looked sad, Oswald walked towards the man and grabbed a bottle "You-"

The bottle shattered and the man went down, blood splattered onto a woman who gasped, I laughed and sat down at the bar "Oh, I missed going to clubs" I said, Oswald looked up at me and his eyes widen "But, I hang out more at bars."

"Clean this" he told a waiter who nodded, he looked towards me I leaned my elbows on the bar and smiled at him "What are you doing here?"

I sighed "I came for a drink" I said and looked at the man laying on the floor "But, if you are busy-"

"Nessita, it has been so long" Mrs Kapelput said as she walked towards me, ignoring what her son had just done. I smiled at her, as she gave me a hug "Too long. When will you come see me?"

"I am so buy with work, here lately. I am sorry" I told her as I helped her onto the stool beside me "Eventually though."

She patted my shoulder "Soon. Oswald, you didn't tell me you became such good friends with Nessita" she scolded her son who poured me some whiskey "My boy is hardly home anymore, I was afraid he had ranoff with a woman-"

"Mother" Oswald said and his face turned red.

"-but, he was here all along" she sid happily, I put my hand on the bar and took the shot of whiskey before handing it back to Oswald "What is your job Nessita? I never asked."

I smiled "I work at Bamonte's. A resturaunt. My uncle Sal runs it" I said, Oswald's hand shook as he poured my drink. I took it in my hands and smiled at him "What's wrong Oswald?"

"Can we talk in private?" he asked with a smile, I smiled to Gertrud as I stood up.

She sighed "Oswald, we were talking."

"It won't be but for a couple seconds, mother. Promise" he said as he grabbed my arm. I jerked my arm away and followed him to Mooney's old office, when we entered the first thing I said was "Holy shit."

There was a huge ass penguin in the corner "What is that?"

"A gift from your lovely uncle" he said with a attitude, I raised a eyebrow and laughed "I would appriciate if you quit bringing up Maroni in fornt of my mother."

"I didn't bring up MAroni. I brought up my uncle" I said and narrowed my eyes "I came here to ask to be friends but, if you cannot see things my way-"

He held a hand up "Friends?" he asked and looked confused.

"Friends. You know, the past is the past and all that."

He just stared at me "Why?"

I shrugged "Maroni and Falcone are.. on good termms I guess at the moemnt. There is no reason for us to argue" I said and held my hand out. He just stared at it before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards him, close.

His grip was tight and my eyesbrows raised "This better not be a trick" he warned, I shrugged.

"I know better" I said. He let me go and I rubbed my hand "Thanks so much."

"You had me in a car crusher."

"No. Maroni did. I just ...tol him of a good place. Unless you wanted your mother dead" I said, when he started to talk I said "Relax. I wasn't about to kill her, I like her. She's ...nice a good neighbor."

He just looked at me and he relaxed a little "You ...he told you to ...kill my mom and ..you said no?"

"Actually ...I said we should go after you instead" I said and sat donw in one of the chairs.

He didn't know what to say "Thank-"

"I didn't do it for you. Like I said, I like Gertrud."

He smiled "Free drinks. For as long as you wish to continue drinking."

"For life then? As long as I work for Maroni I will have to drink."

To my surprise he actually laughed and sat down behind the desk, he pulled out whiskey from behind the desk "Exactly what you had the night we wrestled in your apartment."

I took the bottle from him and raised a eyebrow "Well. How about a drink?"

HE poured some whiskey into two glasses and we knocked them together "To new friendship" he said. Iraised a finger "And to old ones."
