This is my first Batman Fanfic and the first time i've written in a long time so please don't judge too hard. I wrote this story while listening to Sam Smith lol
Disclaimer: I do not own any DC characters but I would love to lock them up in my closet
The hospital at Gotham General was booming as always. Gunshot here, vigilante victim there, always something to do. Jamie Sanders worked her usual on call shift there as the lead nurse. She breathed Gotham, born and raised she vowed to never leave. Her passion since she was five years old was to help the citizens of Gotham. She wasn't built to fight and put on a mask but she was breed for saving lives. Her father was a well-known, as the chief of surgery in metropolis and her mother was the chief firefighter in Gotham. How her mother became chief in a male dominated field was not only her beauty but her brawns. She was tough, and growing up with a tough independent woman only made Jamie tougher. A tom boy to say the least, she tied her brown loose curls into a knot and went to work on the incoming patients. "What do we have?" the doctor asked urgently, Jamie grabbed gauze and continued feeding it into the open wound on the screaming man's side. "A victim of some vigilante's high speed chase, I think some debris landed on him" Jamie said while taking a syringe and sticking the patient with medicine to soothe him. "Okay I got it from here, page doctor keftin in neuro" she nodded and left the room leaving the doctor to work and pulling off her gloves. She knew tonight would be busy if a "superhero" chase was in store.
Hours later…
Jamie went into the locker room of the hospital and took a deep breathe rubbing her neck 'thank god that's over!' she thought. As she pulled off her scrubs Nell hit her on the back with a smack! Damn that got on her nerves when Nell smacked the hell out of her. "So what's on the agenda tonight? We chasing some tail at the red light bar?" Nell asked removing her scrubs also. Nell was an energetic nurse that Jamie befriended since she was too annoying for anyone else to handle. "Umm, I don't think so I'm beat tonight" Jamie answered putting her AC/DC shirt on and ragged blue jeans. "Plus I don't think I'm dressed to go out tonight." "Oh please if I had an ass like that and breast like that you could go out in sweat pants and guys would go crazy" Nell was on the little bitty titty side but she had her own curses to work with. She had sparkling green eyes that guys mooned over and long blonde hair, just an obnoxious attitude. Nell pulled a low cut dress over her head and grabbed Jamie's hand. "Please for me!" she begged. Jamie sighed, "Fine, but only because friends help other friend pick up guys" Nell smiled and they both chuckled before leaving.
Red light Bar
Jamie didn't want to admit that this was her first time really going out in months. She had been so involved at the hospital that she never stopped to actually have a life. Both females sat together at the end of the bar. 'At least I can drink and walk home from here' Jamie thought taking back her second shot of the night.
"So when was the last time you've been with a guy?" Nell asked taking her 5th shot.
A little personal Jamie thought but what the hell they were coworker friends
"Like a year I think" Jamie spoke loud over the band.
"Wow! Omg I don't know what I would do if I didn't get any for like a month" Jamie laughed at her slightly slutty friend before downing another. Sirens and shots rang over the music of the band outside, but no one moved, I mean this was Gotham, people were used to it by now.
"Okay so we are totally hooking you up tonight!" Nell yelled slightly slurring her words and throwing her arm around Jamie. She shook her head, "no thanks, Gotham doesn't have much potential when it comes to the male species" they both laughed when red hot chili peppers began to play through the loud speakers. Nell took a final sip of her drink and raced to the dance floor. Jamie laughed at her very drunk coworker and continued to sip on her jack and coke. As the night progressed the two friends danced, and Nell hooked up with some guy on her way to the bathroom. Jamie made sure to observe that the man had on a well-tailored suit, and noticed he only drank on expensive liquor tonight, so he probably wasn't going to kill her friend when she put them in a cab together. She made sure to set a reminder on her phone to call in the morning and make sure Nell was okay. Jamie stayed at the bar for another hour drinking water making sure to sober up before heading home.
Once she felt sober enough she grabbed her bag and headed out the door. Walking home late at night in this city would be scary to most but not Jamie. She made sure to keep her hands in her pocket where her switch blade sat in wait in case anyone tried to attack her. As she passed the alley way in between her house she heard slight groan. At first she thought nothing of it, probably two kids making out as usual. She peeked around the corner and noticed something red shining off the moonlight of the alley, and heard it again. Groaning. She inched into the alley hesitantly when she saw the shape of a body slouched between the alleyways. Scared the shadow might be injured she rushed to see if this person was hurt. She noticed her had on a red helmet and was holding his side with his hand filled with blood. 'Damn vigilante! And on my night off' she thought as she grabbed her jacket out her bag and wrapped it around his large body making a tourniquet. She tapped on his helmet to see if he was conscious when she felt hot deep breathe breathing from behind her. She turned with anticipation and saw a large muscular reptile grinning with a sharp toothy smile. "well, well I guess I can have a snack before my main course!" he leaped at her trying to grab her small frame when she jumped out of the way between his legs grabbing the blade in her pocket. She read about this monster in the news once, his name was Killer Croc. She chuckled as he turned around to face her. "A slippery little mouse! Good I love a good hunt" her hands shook with fear but she tried to focus. Think! She knew if she could get underneath him quickly she could possible collapse his lung allowing her to get the slumped over stranger and race back to the street filled with people. The only problem was he looked at least 200 lbs., so getting him to the street would be a struggle but at the moment she just had to survive. He smiled and ran his sharp claws along the alley walls, when he swiped at her she dove underneath him and pushed her switchblade into his lungs and twisted. Killer croc howled with pain and knocked her up against the wall with a hard thud that took her breathe away. Blood leaked from his side and he growled in pain hunched over on the floor, Jamie gathered herself and went over to check on the guy with the red helmet. "Hey wake up! We need to get out of here!" she shook him and tried but failed to lift him when she noticed the red batman symbol on his chest. 'You have got to be kidding me!' she thought when she turned to see Killer croc hovering over them with murder in his eyes. She closed her eyes as she saw death looming over her, when BANG BANG BANG! She opened her eyes and saw killer croc on the floor of the wet alley, and a gun near her head. "that should hold him off for a while" a dark deep voice came from the helmet as he lowered his gun and slowly lifted himself off the alley floor before slightly falling again before Jamie rose and took his arm and threw it around her shoulder and led him out the alley and into her apartment next door.
