I waited. I waited in my appartment, one day felt like five months as I waited on a call from MAroni, I was dressed in my best shorts over black leggings, a black tank top with a dream catche ron it, black boots and a black trench coat.

I walked back and forth pacing and drinking waiting on a call. I grabbed my phone when it went off "YEah?"

"We have business."

HE hung up and I smiled as I ran downstairs and into the street, I walked to Maroni's van and got in the passanger side seat, goons were in the back with MAroni and one drove "Where we going?"

"To end this" is all that was said.

--------

"So, there he is. Fish, you mysterious, crazy, gorgeous killer, you. I love ya. Come here" I looked to where Harvey, Gordon, PEnguin and Falcone hanged and my stomach fell as they all looked at me. "This this is delicious. Finally" Maroni turned to Falcone "You're hard to kill, old man."

"No. Your people are second-rate. Even Nessita worked for me before she went to you."

"My niece knows what side to be on" Maroni said and walked to me, his back to Falcone, he put his arm around me.

"Miss Mooney, if I may, a brief word. I know my life is forfeit. I speak not for my sake, but yours" Penguin spoke, we all loooked at him "Because after all, I still love and respect you. Kill me if you must, but keep Falcone alive. As soon as he's dead, Maroni has no use for you. You are simply a threat. He will kill you."

"Oh! You think?"

"Why would he need another boss in town? Another rival?" Penguin told her.

"That's where you're wrong, smart guy. She's not a rival, because she's not a boss. She's an underboss. An underboss takes orders" Maroni said.

"I don't take orders" Fish Mooney said.

"I know that. We're cool. Relax."

"I'm relaxed."

"I don't think you are, babes."

"Please don't call me babes" Mooney said. I looked at her eyes and flinched a bit, she looked freaky.

"You see? Not relaxed. Babes? Really? It's a term of endearment. It means I like you. Fine. I misspoke. You're not an underboss and you're not a babe. You tell me what you are."

"What we are, Sal are partners."

"Whatever you want. Partners. I'm partner number one, and you're partner number two. That's the deal, right? I'm number one and you are?" Maroni waited.

"Number two."

"There you go. Simple math. One, two, babes. Oops. Sorry. That's the last time. I swear" Maroni said and chuckled.

I turned on my uncle "Partners? What do I go back to being a assassain? A-a goon who is at your beck and call?" I snapped, his eyes widened "Maroni, I have worked my ass off for you."

"N-nessita. You will still be my partner, my precious,"

I looked him in the eyes "Sure" I said, he kissed my head and wrapped a arm around me.

"Guys! Can you feel the buzz in the air? That's victory. Redemption. Power! When this old man dies, a new day begins. We will rule Gotham. We are building a dynasty. We will whip this town like a rented mule. Right, babes? Oh-ho, just all right, relax. I'm kidding you. Guys, no, seriously. Don't call her "babes. " Or "toots" or what have you. It's a woman's lib thing."

A shot went off and my stomach hit the floor as I helped MAroni to the floor, I heard "I am relaxed" from Fish Mooney and I gasped as I held my dead uncle in my arms. A tear went down my face "No. No" I whispered as people ran this way and that. I held my uncle to me as I felt someone pulling at my arms "No!"

He put a hand around my mouth as he made me run we were shot at and we went around the side of the building in the shadows, Oswald moved hair from my face "I would ask if you are okay but, Irealize that is a stupid question" he said, I looked away from him as I thought on my uncle's body laying in there dead and unmoving.

He grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me to him, I rested my head on his shoulder while he ran his hand down my hair "Everything will be fine. I'll get FIsh Mooney" he whispered, I shook my head as I looked at him.

"She'll kill ya."

His hand tightened on my shoulder "Probably. But, I don't like seeing you hurting" he told me, and looked up at the night sky above us "I don't know why. I wish I did" he whispered before leaning down and pressing his lips to mine, he smiled.

I sighed as I gripped his jaacket in my hands "We are not starting this" I said with a laugh, he smiled and squeezed my hand before walking away. I settled down in between some crate's. I waited patiently. That is when I realized my leg was bleeding, blood ran down my ankle, I could feel it. I sat on the ground and rolled my pants leg up to see a bullet had grazed my leg.

I stood up and leaned on the building, I made my way around the building to see a car rounding a building and shooting out of the place like a bullet, I seen Falcone in the back seat and smiled.

I slowly reached the inside of the building and limped towards the lifeless body of Salvatore Maroni. I looked down at him and felt sick, I didn't get to know he was my uncle for long but, it was fun while it lasted. I smiled down at him when I heard yelling from the roof.

I took my gun out and almost fell as I tried to run up the stairs, I held onto the rail with all my strength I had left. I got to the top and leaned on a wall, I slid across it towards the opening to see OSwald pushing Fish Mooney backwards, my eyes widened as he pushed her over the edge and looked down as she fell.

Butch was on his knees behind OSwald. "No!"

Oswald was in shock as he looked down at the water "I'm the King of Gotham" he said then stood up on the edge and yelled "I'm the King of Gotham! I'm the King of Gotham!"

I just stared at him "Get your ass down from there before you fall after her" I said, he turned and looked at me with a smile, I leaned onto the wall and he dropped back down onto the floor before walking over to me.

"I got her for you. I killed FIsh Mooney for you" he said and smiled bigger "She killed your mother and now your uncle. I got her."

I nodded "Good job" I said and held my hand out. He just looked at my hand. My face was getting paler by the second.

"Nessita?" he said and I tried to walk towards him, only to fall into him. He looked down at me as I bit my tongue to keep from yelling becuase of the pain coming from my leg.

HE moved hair from my face "You'll be fine" he said quickly and looked over to Butch "I need you to carry her!"

That is all I heard before I passed out in Oswald's arms.
