You drummed your fingers against the desk as you waited for the woman to get back with your request. Having just returned to Gotham from being away for 6 years; you were itching to meet your friend Edward Nygma. He'd given you the address to his work place and so here you were, waiting in the middle of the GCPD. When you'd inquired about Edward to the woman at the front desk she'd given you a long look before heading off.

That'd been five minutes ago. You were impatient and turned around to leave when out of the corner of your eye you saw Edward talking with a woman. Unable to contain your excitement, you ran towards him.

"Eddie!" you squeal.

Edward turned towards you when he heard your voice and a look of surprise crossed his face before you barreled into him, knocking his glasses askew. He let out a laugh before wrapping his arms around you in a hug.

"You're here already (y/n)?" He said.

"Duh, silly!" you beam at him before letting him go. "I couldn't wait to see you." You reached up and fixed his glasses.

"Was your trip ok?" He asked.

"Fine," you said with a vigorous nod. Edward still had his arms around you and didn't seem very keen on letting you go.

You heard someone clear their throat and you turned your head to see the woman that Edward had been talking to before you'd interrupted.

"Who is this Mr. Nygma?" the woman asked. Her blondish brown hair was tied up and the light glinted off of her horn rimed glasses that were similar to Edwards own. Edward looked at the woman and abruptly let you go, only keeping an arm around your waist.

"Ah!" Edward said, his face brightening. "This, Ms. Kringle, is my friend (y/n) (l/n). She just moved back to Gotham after 6 years of living in Europe."

"Did I hear that Nygma has friends?" A rude voice said from behind you. You twist around to see a mean looking man walk towards you.

"Of course he has friends," you said indignantly. "Eddie's the nicest, sweetest, and most caring person I know."

"I would never think that someone would use those words to describe Nygma," the man said with a snort.

"And just who are you?" you snap.

"Detective Arnold Flass," the man said with such a sense of pride that you wanted to punch him. Male egos! Tch!

"So tell me Nygma, " Flass drawled, how'd you end up with a friend that's so good looking? I bet she just had to spre-"

Faster than anyone could blink, you slipped from Edward's grasp and kicked Flass where the sun don't shine. He doubled over and let out a groan.

"Don't ever speak to me or Eddie like that again," you hissed.

"Y-you bitch!" Flass ground out.

You aimed to kick him again but Edward grabbed your arm.

"Don't," he muttered, "it'll end up making things worse."

Begrudgingly, you listened and stepped back.

"What's going on over here?"

You looked to see two more men coming over to where you were. One had rather scraggly brown hair streaked with grey and looked more like a vagrant than someone that worked at a Police Station. The other was cleaner cut and had close chopped brown hair.

"Detectives," Edward said, pulling you closer to him.

"What's going on here?" the scraggy detective asked.

"Nygma's bitch kicked me," Flass spat, finally managing to stand up again, though he still had a pained look on his face.

You let out a snarl and made for him again. Edward sighed and wrapped both of his arms around you, pinning you to him.

"Eddie," you whine.

"If she kicked you then I believe that you fully deserved it," the second detective said bluntly.

"Jim," scraggly guy said, "she assaulted a detective."

"A detective insulted my friend, who happens to be a coworker of yours!" You snap back.

"If anything, it seems like you were trying to pick a fight," Jim said to Flass.

Flass scowled, "I was looking for Ms. Kringle," he said, "but it looks like she left."

You glanced around to find that he was right; Ms. Kringle wasn't around.

"She must've gone back to the Records Room," Jim said. "Why don't you go and check?"

"Yeah why don't you?" you snipped before letting out a small yelp as Edward pinched your arm.

Flass glared at you and Edward before stomping off.

"You better be careful Ms...?" Jim inquired.

"(L/n)," you said, "(y/n) (l/n). I'm a friend of Eddie's."

"Nice to meet you Ms. (L/n)," Jim said. "I'm Jim Gordon and this is my partner Harvey Bullock." He motioned towards scraggly guy.

"I can introduce myself," Bullock mumbled.

"Anyways, thank you for stepping in when you did," you say. "If things had continued, I probably would've been charged with assault." You let out a laugh before tilting your head to look at Eddie who still had his arms around you.

"Are you going to show me around now?" you ask. "Certainly this place is better than some of your questionable coworkers."

"Uh sure," Eddie said uncertain. "I'll get you the report later," he told Gordon and Bullock before leading you away.
