Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Cobblepot's Forbidden Love: 30. You Have To Be Kidding Me

I had weeks to think about what I did.

It was funny honestly. In the end, Arkham Asylum is worse than death.

And Oswald had been stuck in there for awhile, but he gotout only a couple of days ago, people say he acts different ...I don't think so.

Nothing cna change Oswald Cobblepot.

I sat in my new apartment -thanks to Theo Galavan's money vault- very fancy, high ceiling chandelier in the kitchen. I sighed as I crossed my ankle over my leg as I sat in my comfy chair, a black robe over my black on black silk pajama's. I was grinning fromear to ear as I sunk down in my chair with a cup of coffee in my hands.

No more running. No more worriment. No more having to kill people for a living. And All I have to worry about is keeping the innocent's safe.

I love it.

I took a sip of coffee as I watched TV, there was a knock on my door. I growled as I set down my coffee and stood up closing my furry black robe, I walked to the door and opened it, gun in my robe pocket "Who is ...it?"

"Me."

I almost shut it but he put his hand out to stop me, rats. Henry smiled wide as he shoved open my door "Hm, my oh my Nessita ...Beautiful place you got here."

"I paid you in full" I said and moved so my big comfy chair was between us, he leaned forward into the mirror hanging on the wall and checked out his reflection.

"Yeah. I just wanted to come by and see you. You look ...good."

I realized my robe had came open so I quickly tied it then put my hands in my pockets, my right hand on my gun.

"Leave, please."

He walked around the chair "I heard you broke it off with the Penguin, a free woman like you shouldn't be alone" I pullednout my gun as he came towards me and he easily grabbed my wrist and took it from me while I tried to punch him with my other hand he caught it.

I wrestled with him and a gun went off, bullet hitting the wall beside his head. Henry quickly took me in his arms and pointed the pistol at my head "Move and she dies."

"I told you to leave her alone, can nothing get through your head?"

My eyes couldn't believe the sight before me. Sal stood there smoking a cigar with his pistol pointed pointed at Henry "I beat the hell out of you and yet here you are ...giving my neice hell" he shook his head.

I wrestled in Henry's grip as it got tighter "She owed me."

"And you owe me" a woman stepped out from behind Salvatore and cocked her head, hands on her hips "Let her go, Henry."

Fish? Fish Mooney is dead..

Henry let me go and I fell onto my side as he shoved me, Sal shit and Henry fell back onto the carpet. I looked from him to Sal and Fish ...I was in shock.

"What? How?-"

Fish wagged her finger at me "Your dreaming, Nessita" she crossed her arms and looked to Sal who nodded "You have someone waitin to speak with you but, first... There is someting you need to see" Fish said and motioned to Sal.

Sal reached down and smiled "Im not a ghost. I swear" I reached up and grabbed his hand, we walked out the door ....and into another room.

I gripped onto Sal's hand when I saw we were in Arkham "Sal?"

"Yes, precious?"

My heart feot heavy when I heard him say it, I looked up at him "I'm sorry I couldn't save you" he kissed my head and led me through another door.

"Im better than I was."

I looked up bat him before he pushed me into something, a bed. I looked on it to see Oswald staringup at the ceiling.

Oh great. Arkham.

Of all inmates he brings me to the one I dont wanna see at the moment. I crossed my arms "I don't want to be here" I told Maroni as I stared at Oswald. I seen something on the table beside him and raised a eyebrow.

I turned back to Maroni "Sane? Him!"

He chuckled "I might not like him, but he treats you like a queen... Like you need to be treated. I hate the life you have had" he said and stepped beside me to look down at Penguin "Ya know ...I always gave you second chances ...maybe you need to give him one."

I made a face "When hell freezes over" I mumbled, he put a arm around me "Do it for his mother. You liked her."

"Yeah" I agreed sadly.

The door beside us opened and ...Mrs Kapelput came through, my eyes widened as I saw her touch her sons forhead and he didnt even move. She turned to me "Take care of him."

Then it all turned dark.

My heart beat sped up as I reached around for something to grab and felt nothing "No. No. No!" I shouted.

A light flickered to my oeft and like someone flipped a light switch I was ...in my room, at home.

Home..

"Nessita!"

I turned to find my mom smiling at me, my heart shattered as I looked at her. Black dress, white gloves, hair pulled into a ponytail. My mother Linda Michaels stared back at me.

"Mom?" I whispered.

She was smiling "You got raised so well. Beautiful" she said and ran a hand down my hair, my spine shivered. It was like a ghost had touched me.

I sniffed as I looked at her "Mommy" I said like a helpless child "I ...I miss you" it came out as a sob and she put her arms aeound me letting me cry. I rested my head on her shoulder.

"Shh. Let it all out."

I sniffed "I have royally screwed up. I don't know what to do ..." I sighed into her shoulder and she left go.

"Darling what does your heart say?" she asked "What did I always tell you?" she grabbed my hands and put them to my chest "Your heart is bigger than your mind. Let your heart guide you not your brain."

I looked her in the eyes "I screwed up. I screwed up big time" I whispered as I closed my eyes, feelin my moms hands on my own.

"I know" is alo she said and let go of me "You must follow your own heart though. Now then" she smiled "What do you want?"

I took a breath and smiled sadly "I ....I dont wanna be a assassain ...or spy. I have had enough."

"And?"

"And what?" I asked. She gave me a look ...one of those a mother can give amd scare the hell out of you legally.

She smiled "I believe a certain man will never let you go."

I realized then what she meant and I shook my head "Oswald-"

"Needs you" she said and gave me a look "Especialy now."

My eyes opened from the dream as someone knocked on my door. I growled as I put a hand to my head and stood up closing my furry black robe, I stopped for a second living deja vu then walked to the door and opened it, then put my gun in my robe pocket "Who is ...it?"

BEfore me stood ...Oswald, all neat in a black suit and purple tie, I raised a eyebrow as I leaned on the door "Aren't you supposed to be ...not here" I said, he laughed making me a little scared.

"Oh, Nessita. I wanted to come by and speak with you, is it okay?"

I just stared at him.
