Every reputable city needs its supplies of teachers, firefighters, policemen and lawyers. Gotham was hardly a reputable city. Nevertheless, it still needed its surgeons.
Clara Moore, a former war doctor, had her own rules and morals. Schemes that kept her alive in the eye of the raging war. Tactics of actions. Systems and formulas that ensured her survival. Plans. Control. But one man decided to test her rules. After all, he knew that sometimes only a little push is required to make someone's order crumble.

"Hazel." "What?" "My name." I swallowed hesitantly, afraid to shatter the silence between us anymore than I already had, "It's Hazel." The silence of the night made it seem as if someone breathing too loud could make the silence shatter into a million pieces. My voice was no exception, and I was terrified that if I spoke to loud, even one word, the it would shatter, along with everything in the room. The silence seemed to make my voice feel smaller than it was, so when I finally heard his footsteps again, it shocked me to hear how loud and distinctive each one was, as if the silence broke just for him. As if he ruled the silence. It's as if he didn't even view the silence as fragile, but a force that he had to over come. And he didn't want to back down from the fight. <~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~> Summary: Hazel has always tried to do the right thing and be the best person she can be, but that can get confusing when you end up being hunted by someone you don't even know.

Gotham City Sirens Season 1 The Dawn
|| Highest Ranking || #1 in Gotham City Sirens (12/19/19) (11/15/19) (10/26/19) (10/15/19) (08/29/19) 10 years have gone by since the return of Bruce Wayne to Gotham . It has also been 10 years since Ecco was presumed dead. But what people don't know is she survived with the help of a few friends. Years later, criminals still run their territories, and crime is at an all time high. Criminals like Ivy Pepper, Oswald Cobblepot , The Riddler , Selina Kyle and Ecco still causing chaos. However this isn't there story it's the story of ,NEW CRIMINALS , NEW HEROS and a NEW GOTHAM because this is no longer Gotham ,this is the story of what happens after what is now Gotham City. *Warning : I wrote this story a while ago which is why the first few chapters aren't the best , I plan on editing when I get the chance , however I promise the rest of the chapters and season 2 and season 3 get better*Complete

Cloaked Intentions.
Title: Shadows and Secrets Blurb: Gotham City doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget-and neither does the man watching over it from the rooftops. As a forensic psychologist brought in to help the GCPD profile Gotham's most dangerous criminals, you've always relied on logic and evidence to make sense of the chaos. But when your cases begin crossing paths with the city's infamous vigilante, Batman, your world gets darker-and more dangerous-than you ever imagined. He's infuriating, secretive, and impossibly brilliant. And he's got a knack for showing up when you least expect it. As you dive deeper into Gotham's twisted underworld, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. When a new threat emerges, one that ties your past to his present, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. In a city where trust is a weakness and love can be a weapon, the question isn't whether you'll survive Gotham-it's whether you'll survive him. Because in Gotham, secrets don't stay in the shadows-they burn.
