Carmine Falcone

Isabels pov:
As I was searching for a place to stay I got a text from Jim asking me to come to his girlfriends apartment, I got there within minutes after getting a bit lost I rang the bell then Jim opened the door. "Isabel thank you for coming, I need your help" he explained how he wanted take down the mayor and someone called don falcone and I instantly agreed and the next morning met Harvey his partner, seemed quite boring but my whole life I've lived with supernaturals so many things bore me.

We called up to a car which I believe is the mayors guns at the ready and I got in the front with Harvey "good morning mayor James" Jim greeted "Gordon you scared the bejeebers out of me, almost spilled my coffee" which caused me to roll me eyes how pathetic, "sorry, sir you're under arrest" Jim explained "that's not funny" the mayor replied "depends where you're sitting" Harvey turned back to face him hmm maybe he's not that bad.

We then made our way to falcones house unannounced and barged into his office with his men tied up. "Carmine falcone you're under arrest" wow I thought he would have been younger being the boss of the underworld. Jim and him started talking but I just sat on a desk and stopped listening to think about what my family is doing right now until I heard him say "suppose for instance I had a knife to Barbara keans throat right now would you still be so brave?" Falcone challenged "you don't you're a liar" Jim told him "I have many faults but I'm not a liar, victor zsasz has Barbara you know victor" which made me think about the man before who was shooting at me and Jim "you're lying she's far away" Jim tried to deny it "he's telling the truth Jim" I cut though which caused all eyes on me "how do you know" Harvey asked "because I can smell the plastic" I spat back since I've never really liked Barbara I've only met her once but she seemed like a snobby rich bitch. Falcone smiled at me and asked who I was "Isabel michaelson" I took my hand out my pocket for him to shake which to Jim's surprise he did. "I'd listen to her Jim you have a good woman there she loves you much, to much" he said referring to Barbara "I could prove it to you but I won't I want you to believe me" I could tell he was telling the truth and some part of me wanted him not believe him and have Barbara killed but I couldn't put him though that I know what it feels like losing a loved one. Harvey tried telling Jim that he was lying but Jim dropped his gun while falcone called someone and asked to bring her in. Then in the background I could hear the song funkytown playing which made me laugh and all eyes were on me again to which I just shrugged them off.

Barbara then came into the room with her hands tied together with her looking like she'd seen a ghost with the same bald guy from earlier following after "What am I going do with you, by rights you have to die" which caused victor to smirk, so he likes to kill to? I knew falcone wasn't going to kill any of us which is why I just sat there not wanting to reveal my powers he just wanted scare them.

I zoned out again because it was truly boring me listening to men talk about morals and what not. Next thing I know he tells us to go which Jim questioned and falcone said "I want you to think about what I said, I want you to understand the truth that's all I ask. The catch is some day soon you'll see I'm right, oh and Isabel can you stay here for a moment i want to talk in private" he then looked to me "sure" I replied knowing he wouldn't hurt me Jim started to protest but I told him I'd be fine and to wait in the car which surprisingly he did.

Victor shut the door behind Harvey and Jim and I sat in front of falcones desk "Well mr falcone what did you want to talk to me about?" I said as I crossed my legs "please call me Carmine, victor told me about you how you helped jim when no one else would I admire a brave woman" he said which made me laugh "he would have done the same for me and besides I wanted a bit of fun" I smirked while looking into victors eyes which held an emotion I couldn't read. "Well I hope we see each other in the near future that will be all Isabel" I nodded and got up front the seat victors eyes not leaving me until I left the room and the doors closed behind me. "Well victor she seems nice, loyal to I could love for her to work for me" I heard him say to which I scoffed at, like I would ever work for someone.

After that day I need two types of drinks but first I wanted get to know the people here so I decided to go to a club I walked up to the bar next to a woman who looked at me with a smirk. "Hey I'm new to Gotham my names Isabel, what would you recommend I get?" I asked her "a pretty girl like you here on your own a bit risky don't you think?" She answered to which I laughed at "maybe or maybe it's risky for anyone that try's harm me" she smiled then nodded knowingly then asked a man get me a drink on the house.

After two hours of drinks and laughing with fish you could say I was a little tipsy turns out she was actually really nice once you got to know her, but she made it clear to anyone who turned on her would pay. As I ordered another drink someone spoke behind me "that's on me" I turned to see the same guy who shot at me "so how are you in a club drinking after getting shot less than 24 hours ago?" He asked "I didn't get shot must of been your imagination" I replied since the bullet wound healed pretty much straight after I got shot "me and my girls saw that a bullet hit you so don't try and deny it" I looked over to him and said "haha what can I say I'm a tough girl" fish then come from behind the bar and said she was calling it a night and asked if I wanted a cab home which I kindly denied as I wanted a snack. Though I didn't actually have anywhere stay I'd just have to go Jim's for the night I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Though victor spoke up and said he'd take me home "you're not taking home." I replied "why not we could get to know each other in the car" he pouted "or we could not" I smiled to him and got up from my seat and went outside not before sending a wave fishes way. I then felt the legs being picked up and got chucked over someone's shoulder my face heated up from the close contact but I managed to get out "put me down now." I warned he ignored me so I did the reasonable thing and flipped him over onto his back and carried on walking to Jim's without looking back. I heard him whisper "how did she do that" and a car door shut which made me smiled knowing that I won.
