Brothers Reunited

Beatrix was slipping in and out of consciousness. She felt pain on her right leg, the knife still deeply lodged in her thigh.
Eddie had been rambling on about something, but all Bea heard was muffled. The girl squirmed barley realizing that she still had handcuffs on.

"By the way, what's your name again?" Her capture asked.

"Beatrix." She responded looking out the window of the moving car.

"So, what's your story?" He asked while keeping his eyes on the road ahead of him. Beatrix needed to focus on something other than the horrendous pain, so she gave in a decided to talk to the man.

"What do you mean?"

"Your story, you know, where you come from stuff like that."

Bea shrugged her shoulders. "There isn't that much to tell. I grew up in Boston.

He took in the information and slowly nodded.

"I was part of a wealthy family."

The man laughed.

"Then what the hell are you doing in Gotham?!"

"I ran away."

"Why?"

"I wanted to be a dancer." Bea paused wincing in pain then continued. "But my mom and dad thought that dancing wasn't a real career. So I left. It's not like my parents cared, they were always too busy with work. I hated it."

He glanced at her in confusion.

"You hated being rich?" Eddie bursted our laughing yet again.

"Some people would kill to have that trust me. Hell most people in Gotham don't even have parents!"

Beatrix rolled her eyes wondering if anyone had already noticed she hadn't come home.

Jim Gordon was giving Josette a ride back to her house, they stayed in awkward silence until Jim cleared his throat and spoke.

"So how are you holding up?"

Josette looked at him. "Im doing okay...considering the circumstances."

Jim nodded. "How's your mom?"

A while back Jim used to date Josettes mom, Katerina. Jim used to be Josettes father figure, now the two are strangers to each other.

"I don't know. She split about 6 months ago."

"Oh. Sorry to hear that."

When they reached her house the girl thanked the detective. She opened the door and closed it shut.

Jim rolled down the window called out for her.

Josette quickly turned around.

"If you ever need anything call me. I'm always here."

"Sure Jim." Was all the girl said before entering her home.

It was 2am, Josette was tired as hell. She looked to her left seeing all her siblings sleeping in front of the TV in the messy living room.

"Your back..." Jeremiah said in relief.

They both shared a hug.

"Where's Beatrix?" They asked at the same time.

"I thought she stayed with you?"

"No. Bea went to go get you."

Josette facepalmed. "Why didn't you stop her?"
