~Time jump brought to you by the Legends screwing up/ fixing the time line since 2016. (After Jeremiah fell and Gotham's been reunited)~

Violet's P.O.V

     "I had nothing to do with any of this." I state glaring at the Captain Detective. "Where's my daughter?" I question.

     "She's safe. Violet You understand I could have you arrested and Martha taken away?" 

     "I had nothing to do with his plans. I stayed because running didn't work he found me both time and when you came for us." Gordon sighs and stands up. "If you are going to take my daughter away from me, then Bruce is her godfather." I tell him.

     "It doesn't have to be that way. Did you help him in any way with any of it?"

     "No. I stayed for her." I say simply. He gives the detective a nod and he leaves.

     "Did he hurt you or Martha?" I shake my head and he sees right through that. "I'll ask again. Did he hurt you or your daughter?"

     "He hit me once." I state truthfully. "That's it." 

     "You're lying."

     "He threatened to shoot me and Ecco. He choked me." The detective walks back in with Martha. She runs towards me and I bend down opening my arms. She runs into them and I hold her tight. "I got you."

     "Where's daddy?" 

     "Daddy had to go away."

     "When will he be back?" I look at the detectives for help.

     "I don't know." I tell her after receiving no help. "We're gonna stay at Uncle Bruce's for a while. Are you charging me with anything or not?" 

     "No, you're free to go." I pick her up standing up. I walk outside to see Alfie waiting for us.

     "I figured you wouldn't want anything to do with me." I say half joking half concerned he really doesn't want anything to do with me.

     "Never." He says opening the door for me. I smile climbing in. "I don't have a car seat for the young miss."

     "I'll just hold her." I say buckling in. 

     "Lullaby?" I nod and start humming the usual lullaby. 

     "Your mother used to sing that to you and your brother." Alfred smiles. 

     "I know." I respond. We get there and I walk into my room. I set Mar on the bed and look around. Nothings changed. I quickly get changed and lay down next to her. 

~Two months later~

       I run as fast as I can. I forgot how many enemies he made. I silently curse. I duck into an alley and lean against the wall. What the hell did he do to the Penguin Riddler? A bullet lodges itself into the wall next to my head. I start running again, pulling out my phone. "Alfie, I need help the penguin and Riddler are chasing me, please I need help." I scream falling to the ground.

     "Finally." Penguin says hobbling over to me with Riddler. 

     "I haven't done anything to you." I whimper holding my leg.

     "No, but your husband did." Riddler states. Tears stream down my cheeks. I feel it before the shot registers in my mind. 

     "Miss Violet?" Alfie's voices shouts over the phone. I try to talk but no noise comes out. 

     "A-" I start coughing up blood.

Jim's P.O.V

     I sigh walking up to the scene of a homicide, normally I wouldn't bother, but Harvey called and said I needed to see this. "Harvey, what's going on?"

     "Thought you telling her family would be easier than the uni's doing it. Considering they might not make back from Arkham." I follow him and go pale, seeing the victim. "Nothing was taken."

     "This was a hit." I state. "Who was the last person she called?"

     "Her butler. She was shot once in the left leg and again in the chest. Someone made sure this would be painful for her. If you look at how she fell, she was trying to stop the blood pouring out of her leg." The forensics scientist informs us. 

     "I'm going to Arkham, then I'll talk to Alfred." 

     "One more thing. I can't be completely sure until the M.E does her examination but it appears that she was pregnant." I glance at her one last time. She didn't deserve this and her daughter doesn't either. I get to Arkham and wait for the guards to bring him. 

     "Commissioner to what do I the pleasure?"

     "Jeremiah." I greet trying to find a way to tell him. "There was a murder early tonight-"

     "I had nothing to do with it as you can see I've been in here."

     "I know. The victim was.... Violet Wayne." He keeps a mask of calmness, but pain and anger are clear in his eyes. "I only told you because she loved you." I leave and go to Wayne Manor. 

     "Hey Jim, long time, no see."

     "Selina, what are you doing here?"

     "I like the kid she grew on me. Why are you here?"

     "Bad news." I state walking in. 

     "What happened? Does it have to do with why Alfred's panicking?" 

     "Yes."

     "Is Violet alright?" She questions sounding... scared. Dread and guilt fill me.

     "Gordon, did you find her?" Alfred asks meeting us halfway.

     "I need you to come down to the station so you can take guardianship of Martha until Bruce comes back."

     "Where is she?" Selina demands.

     "Gone." 

     "What happened?"

     "I don't know, we're still working on that." Once we're at the station, Lee comes over, looking solemn. "Let me guess he was right?"

     "Yes."
