Yep, I'm back and I'm pretty sure Barbara's fixing to die pretty soon for fucking up Ed and Oswalds relationship HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

"I'm going to gut her. I'll make sure she suffers for every fucking day Ed has been hurting because of their little plan!" Oswald yells angrily. Zsasz eyes him warily, small smirk on his face.

"Have you tracked her down yet?"

"Relax, boss. We've got it covered. My guys are out looking for her right now."

Oswald collapses into his armchair, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Has Ed called? It's been nearly 6 months since he woke up, he left a week after that. He should've called." Zsasz remarks.


"It doesn't matter now. He told me the day he left that he was done trying to prove that he loved me. That I would never see past the betrayal. I'd be too angry at his actions to see he truly cares for me."


That night, Oswald tries to sleep, but he's awoken by his nightmares once more.

And what an awful nightmare it was....

"Ed, stop, please wait, don't leave..."

"You don't see it. I gave you everything. I fell in love with you while we were together. Every word I said was true. But you didn't see that. You immediately blamed me. It was Barbara. She was behind this. I told her I wasn't ready to end it. She destroyed us...you can't fix it..."

"Ed..."

"It's broken..."

"Edward..."

Ed hands Oswald some dark black lump that seems to pulsate slowly. Oswald tightens his grip around it reflexively.

"Go ahead and crush it...it's already broken..."

That's when Oswald realizes they're drowning. Are they in gotham river? What's happening?

"Ed..." Oswald tries to grab at Ed, but Ed pushes him away.

"Have fun drowning in my tears.. "


Oswald wakes with a gasp, fresh tears on his face.

Broken...



The next day, Zsasz informs him they've found Barbara hiding with Tabitha and Butch.
Oswald goes to their hideout, more than ready for a little murder.
But it wasn't just Tabs, Babs and Butch.
Ed was there too, sitting there with Barbara.

"Ed..."

"Hi, Mr Penguin." Ed says quietly looking anywhere but at Oswald.

"Eddie, dear... don't look so sad." Barbara says warmly, pulling Eds face to look at her. The way she caresses his cheek...

Oh. My. God...

"Are you kidding me? Tge woman who dated my mothers killer and ruined our relationship? Are you completely stupid? She's manipulating you!" Oswald spits out venomously.

"I would never! You just don't see him the way I do..."

"Why don't you go and shove that hypothetical tiara up your ass, you little princess?!"

"Cause I like it on my head."

"You leave me the hell alone. And I swear on my mothers grave! You hurt him, you'll pay dearly. I still love him, but if he's happy, then I must understand that love is sacrifice... goodbye, Ed."
