"Okay that's the last one" groaned Jim placing the heavy box in his arms on the ground.
"Annnd I am officially a resident of Gotham" spoke Bella with a smile.
She was in the middle of unpacking some of the boxes and putting things away.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You could just stay at my apartment" suggested Jim.
Bella chuckled "you live just five doors down from me, I think I'll survive the distance."
"If you're sure, I just want to make certain you feel safe" said Jim shrugging his shoulders.
"Don't worry if I need help I'll just scream bloody murder and hope that you come running to my aid" Bella joked.
"That's not at all comforting but I appreciate the sentiment" said Jim chuckling at his goddaughters weird sense of humor.
Bella then pausing as she pulled out a picture frame of her parents felt her heart sink swallowing back a lump in her throat.
"You okay?" Jim asked noticing her changed demeanor.
"Yeah, I'm fine" assured Bella.
She carefully placed the photo down on its face then begun unpacking another box.
"How's Barbara these days?"
"Yeah she's good, excited about the wedding" said Jim looking out the apartment window.
"Are you?" Bella asked him.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" asked Jim turning to look at her.
"No reason, I'm sure its gonna be great" said Bella pretending to be happy for Jim's sake.
She'd never told him but Bella had never held any sort of respect for her godfather's fiancé. And why? Because she knew Barbara was a selfish needy whore who couldn't stand the fact that Jim had a life outside their home. Bella wanted more than anything for him to come to his senses and tell the bitch exactly where to get off. She only wanted Jim's happiness but that wouldn't happen while he was with Barbara.
"So what do you plan do now you're here?" Jim asked.
"Well I'm gonna get a job to start with. I'm hoping to get something around the area of catering" said Bella placing some books on the shelves.
"Why's that?"
"Well I've kind of developed a passion for cooking since I was little and thought I'd make a bit of a career out of it, I mean I know its gonna be a hell of alot of work but if I don't at least give a whirl then I can't say I tried" explained Bella.
"When did you become so wise?" teased Jim feeling proud of her.
"I was always wise, I just didn't like to show off" said Bella sending a smirk his way.
Just then the chiming of Jim's phone echoed through the apartment as he took it out his trouser pocket to see the caller I.D flashing on the screen but sighed and just let it go to answer machine.
"Dodging someone?" asked Bella.
"Its just work but they can wait" said Jim.
"You should find out what they want, could be serious"
"Nothings more serious then me spending time with my goddaughter"
"Hey we have plenty of time for that your work is more important right now, especially with what's going on out there right now" said Bella gesturing her hand to the window. "Gotham is gonna need all the help they can get. So I want you Jim Gordon to get out there and show these bastards just who their dealing with and that this city will not go down without a fight."
Jim shaking his head approached Bella and embraced her in a hug.
"You are Incredible you know that Izzy? I promise that the first chance I get we'll go out do something, just you and me" assured Jim.
"I'd like that"
"I love you kid"
"I love you too" said Bella smiling into his chest.
Pressing a kiss to her forehead Jim then pulled back and went to pick up his coat off the chair.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" he asked feeling unsure of this.
"Jim stop worrying about me I'll be fine, just go" Bella encouraged him.
"Okay but if you need me..."
"I'll know exactly where to find you"
"Just checking" said Jim holding his hands up in surrender.
"Be careful and kick plenty of ass"
"Always" grinned Jim.
He then left leaving a chuckling Bella in his wake, oh how she adored that man. Turning her gaze from the door to the suitcase by the couch she walked over and unzipped it routing through her clothing until Bella found what she was looking for and smirked.
'This is gonna be sweet' she thought to herself.
Yes Gotham was in need of help, and Bella knew just how to go about it.
...…..
"HEEEELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"
Screamed a female in her mid 30's who was currently being chased down an alleyway by two thugs and unfortunately right then found herself at a dead end as she came face to face with a fence.
"Awww what's wrong baby? We just want to play" cooed one of the men wearing a hoodie.
"Stay away from me!" cried the woman.
"Come on now girl don't be like that, you'll like us" spoke the other laughing along with his friend.
The hooded man then grabbed the woman by her jacket but unexpectedly she'd connected her fist to the guys jaw causing him to stumble backwards taking that as her opportunity to make a run for it, however unfortunately found herself being floored by the other.
"Bitch!" snapped the man on top of her.
He snatched up her wrists and roughly pinned them above her head.
"Noooo! Please stop!" she cried through her hysterics, struggling like crazy to get away.
"SHUT UP!"
"Finn just cut the bitch!" shouted the hooded fellow from behind.
Just then as he went to join his partner in crime he suddenly found himself being hoisted into the air.
"Yo Jace! Give me the gun!" called Finn over his shoulder but weirdly didn't receive a response. "Jace!? Jace what the..."
CRACK!
Went the sound of the guy's skull as he was thrown head first into the brick wall knocking him out cold as his body crumpled to the ground.
The shaken woman narrowed her gaze from the thug to a figure in front of her. They were wearing a black hoodie, black paintball mask, black combat boots, cargo pants and leather gloves.
She watched as the person then came to her kneel down beside her.
"Don't worry your safe now. Go home. I'll take it from here"
Spoke the masked new comer as the victim nodded in understanding before automatically getting to her feet and running off feeling utterly grateful to the brave hero for saving her.
"Now what to do with you I wonder?"
Questioned the masked female looking down at the unconscious rebellion in disgust.
...…..
Not an hour later Jim had just stepped out a diner with his partner Harvey in toe. Safe to say that neither was in a pleasant mood as they were on the case of Martha and Thomas Wayne who had both suffered a brutal fate, and what was worse was that their son had witnessed the whole thing.
Jim had promised the Wayne's son Bruce that he personally would capture the sick bastard who murdered the boys parents and see to it that justice was served at its coldest. But for some reason Harvey didn't want to have anything to do with it and just wanted to close the case ASAP.
"Say what you want, I'm not gonna rest until I find this scum bag" said Jim.
"Listen hot shot just do me a favour and don't start talking to anymore witnesses until I say, alright?" shot Harvey.
"I made a promise to the boy"
"Well that is not my problem, and besides promises can be broken"
"Not this one"
"Well you see that's you're problem right there soldier boy, you're too soft"
"And you're a skeptic" argued Jim.
Just as they approached the car both men stopped dead at the sight before them. Sat leaning against the car was two unconscious men both dressed as punk rockers strangely bound and gagged.
Both Harvey and Jim looked at each other completely bewildered before they approached the two with caution and as they got closer Jim saw a camcorder in the blonde guy's hands with a note stuck to it that read the words 'play me'.
Jim taking the camcorder did as the note said and played the video watching as someone had filmed them chasing a woman down an alley looking as though they intended to rape her before the video cut off.
"Well this is certainly something you don't see everyday" said Harvey.
He then caught on to a letter that was pinned to the other male's jumper that was titled 'GCPD'. So opening the envelope both men read the contents.
Dear my fellow police officers,
Here I present to you two dirt bags who I had witnessed intending on committing an act of vulgarity on an innocent and personally made it my business to handle the situation. No thanks is needed.
All my love and support
Muse
"Definitely something you don't see everyday" muttered Jim.
"Hey! Wake up!" shouted Harvey slapping both men across the cheeks.
The thugs then groaned awake taking in their surroundings.
"Howdy there boys, hope you enjoyed your nap because guess what? You're under arrest" spoke Harvey in a sarcastic tone as Jim produced the handcuffs.
"Mmph shmph" mumbled the man with the blue mow hawk rinse.
"Yep, you're in alot of that" said Harvey.
Both guys were then hauled off into a squad car and taken down to the station for questioning.
And on a rooftop not far away eyes of steel lurked over the city that night watching its every move and each little sound it made. Gotham would know peace again, it was only a matter of time.
