Gotham Oneshots- Requests Are Open!

Isabella

Isabella is Lady Clayface, you can't convince me otherwise...

Oswald POV

I have to tell him. I have to tell him what I did. I killed his girlfriend. I have to tell him.

So I march myself to his office, determined yet terrified at the same time.

I knock on the door, and he opens it immediately.

"Oswald... shouldn't you be asleep?" He says tiredly, eyes red and tired.

"I could say the same thing about you...I need to tell you something. Something very important..."

"Okay... nothing bad, I hope..." He says sadly, stepping aside to let me in.

"Ed, you've been my best friend for a long time now. You saved me from certain death, you healed my emotional wounds as well as my physical ones. If it wasn't for you, I would certainly be dead. You believed in me when no one else ever would. You stood by my side through everything. Yet I... I hurt you. I did something awful, Edward. I...I killed Isabelle... I ordered Gabe to cut her brake lines. I'm the reason you're hurting so badly...and I'm sorry..." I say quietly.

I peek up at him only to see all the hatred in the world radiating from his gaze.

"You? You killed Isabella?"

"Yes, Ed, I'm sorry..."

"Why?!" He bellows. For a moment his defenses drop and I can see the entirety of the pain I caused.

"Ed...I did it because I love you...I know you want to kill me...that's why I brought the gun..." I choke out through my quiet sobs, handing him the gun I had in the waistband of my dress pants.

He takes the gun from me and presses it against my head. I whimper softly, closing my eyes. This is what has to happen. This is what's right.

"How could you do this? Love is sacrifice. It's putting someone else's needs and happiness before your own!" He shouts.

"I...I'm sorry Oswald...I can't kill you..."

"What?" I say quietly, my heart in my throat.

"You don't deserve death. You deserve to lose someone you love more than your own life! So maybe I'll just leave!" Ed yells angrily.

"Ed..." I say weakly. All my strength has disappeared. He can't leave. I'd rather die than live without him.

"Ed...wait, please...I need you..."

He's standing in the doorway. Then he walks out.

No... Edward...

Three weeks passed by without him. It felt like three years. I struggled with trying to run the city on my own. I felt like I was losing my mind.

I'm sitting at my desk when I get a phone call.

"Mayor Cobblepot speaking!" I say cheerfully.

"Mr Mayor...we have something of yours...." An unfamiliar voice says coldly

"Who is this?!" I hiss. "Are you working with Butch?! Or Barbara?!"

"My name is Kathryn Monroe. Do you remember me from the founder's dinner?"

"You... what do you want?"

"I want gotham to be judged. Punished. And I need you out of the way."

"Where's Edward? Do you have him!?!?"

"Oswald..." A broken voice says tearfully.

"Ed?" I say hoarsely, tears threatening.

"I'm so, so sorry, Ozzie...I should have never left..."

"Ed...I forgave you a long time ago. We can fix this, you just need to tell me something about where you are, I'm going to help you!"

"Oswald...check your email..."

I open my email and I find an email from an unknown address. I open it up and find picture after picture of Ed bloody and broken.

"Ed! Oh God... Edward..."

Another email pops up and I open it only to find a video of him in a warehouse, bloody and crying softly.

"Ed, oh God...oh God..no..."

"Oswald?" He says quietly, sobbing.

"Is this...is this live?" I say quietly in horror.

"Oswald...there's something I need to tell you..."

"Anything, Ed...tell me..."

"I love you... I love you so much, and I screwed up....can you forgive me? Can you forgive me for leaving you alone like that?" He hiccups.

"I forgave you before it even happened Ed...I love you so much..."

"Then you get to watch him die, Mr Mayor..." Kathryn says coldly.

"No, please! Just...take me!" I plead

"Oswald! Don't!" Ed begs, more tears falling.

Kathryn presses the gun against Ed's head. I whimper softly in fear. I can't lose him.

"We're at Ace chemicals. Above the main vats. Please...hurry..." He whispers softly as the line goes dead.

I rush out, panting. I hopped in my car. I don't know how to drive very well but I'll figure it out.

I drive about 150 miles per hour till I'm at Ace chemicals.

I storm inside, gun in hand.

"Edward! Where are you?!" I scream.

I spot him tied to a chair on the catwalk above the acid vats. I race up the stairs to him.

"Ed! Ed! Oh God, I was so scared! Ed!" I shout, running over to him and untying him.

"Oswald, get out of here, there's a bomb. A bomb down by the vats. If it goes off, we'll be incinerated..." He says quietly, eyes wide with fear.

"I'm not leaving you, Ed! I'm getting you out of here!" I shout.

"Not. So. Fast." A familiar voice says quietly behind me. I turn around only to see...

"Isabella?!" I gasp.

"Hi, Oswald...hahahaha...long time no see..." She says oversweetly, giggling.

"Kathryn sent me here...to begin the judgement. There is a bomb, yes, but not here, and not the kind of bomb you're thinking of. It's an aerosolization bomb. At exactly 3:00 sharp, the bomb will go off, and the blood of Alice Tetch will be released. And gotham will be punished!" She yells.

"Who has the detenator?" I yell.

"Bruce Wayne..." She answers evilly.

"It's 2:59...Ed, it's 2:59!"

Boom!

Something explodes in the distance, then starts the screaming.

I look at the window across from us, and a red cloud is rushing towards us.

"We are all mad here..." Isabella says quietly. Her eyes glow oddly. She puts her hands on her face, reshaping it somehow. She removes her hands to reveal a completely different person.

"What the hell?!"

"You like it?! It's a gift! From Professor Strange!! Much like the cloud of madness surging towards us!" She yells.

The window breaks and shatters into a million pieces. The cloud envelopes everything.

"Hold your breath!" Ed yells. I take a deep breath and press my lips to his. Because that would keep us from breathing at least.

After a few moments the cloud dissipates. And I pull away from the kiss, gasping for breath.

I finish untying him and we run.

THE END.

Isabella is Lady Clayface, she really is...
