Detective Gordon was wondering if he could ever get over the heartbreak that Barbara had caused him. She had abandoned him in the apartment they had formerly shared. To make matters worse Jim had the weight of working at the GCPD on his shoulders and he felt as if his world was in a downward spiral. The stress that he had been put under was beginning to take a toll on him physically, he had dark circles under his eyes from the lack of sleep and he was beginning to get a small belly from eating too much.

One night he sat on his loveseat, with a glass of beer in his hand, staring at the fireplace trying to calm himself down. His mind was going a hundred miles an hour, he still felt guilty that he hadn't found the Wayne's killer and the last image he had before his eyes drooped to a close was the image of Barbara. He fell asleep peacefully that night for the first time in a while.

Next Day

Aurora Skye was walking on the streets of Gotham heading to the GCPD building this was her first day as a detective in the homicide division. Her heels clicked on the pavement as she grew near to her destination. Aurora was fresh out of the academy at the age of 26. She was of average height and had a perfectly hour glass figure which she accentuated with black slacks and a button up white blouse. She stopped herself at the door of the building taking a deep breath before she walked in.

"Catching your bearings?" A man asked behind her making Aurora turn around to see a man who was relatively older in a brown hat with a matching jacket and a beard.

Aurora flashed a smile, "Yeah, it's my first day. I'm Aurora Skye," She stuck out her hand.

The man happily accepted her offered hand and gave it a firm shake, "Harvey Bullock, pleasure to meet you. Captain told me you would be coming." He opened the door for her and they walked in.

Aurora was taken aback by the hustle and bustle that was going on in the building. She almost got ran over just standing in the by the doorway, and she quickly followed Harvey by the Captains office and he gave her a pat on the back of luck on her first day. She also noticed as Harvey sat down across from another man who was around her age with his nose in his paper work.

Aurora focused her gaze back on the Sarah Essen's door, "Come in," Sarah responded.

Aurora stepped in and once again extended her hand, "It's a pleasure seeing you again, Captain."

Sarah shook her hand and gave her a warm smile, "Likewise, now you will be working homicide along side of Harvey Bullock and Jim Gordon." Sarah handed Aurora the badge and pointed her in the direction of Harvey and the man she had noticed before. "Jim," the man raised his head up to look at his boss, "I'd like you to meet the newest member of your team, Aurora Skye."

Aurora waved and smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gordon."

Jim gave a small smile stood up and extended his hand, which she quickly accepted, "Please call me Jim." Jim couldn't help but get a good look at her and he had come to the conclusion that she was cute. Her dark locks brought out her green eyes and the red she put on her lips made them very desirable he couldn't deny. However, he retracted his hand and noticing his new co-worker's attractiveness made him think of when he first laid eyes on Barbara.

Aurora grinned once more and nodded taking note of Gordon's change in behavior but ignoring it, "Jim," she looked between the two gentlemen in front of her, "well, I can't wait to work with the both of you"

Sarah stepped in and said, "Well, that might happen sooner than you think. Someone sent an anonymous tip that there is a man with Oswald Copplepot's description."

"What does that have to do with homicide?" Bullock questioned snidely.

"They think they saw his corpse over by the docks." That got both of the men's attention and up and out of their seats very quick Aurora almost didn't have enough time to catch up.
