It was a stormy day in gotham. A young girl was just brought to GCPD. She was badly beaten and scared , she wouldn't let anyone near her. You could tell she had a rough life and that she was going to be on the defense for a long time.

"Hello little miss." a man walked up to her with a warm and comforting smile. By the way he acted and dressed you could tell he was a cop. " My name is Jim Gordon. Can you tell me what happened?" he sat next to her and looked at her hands where she held a crescent moon amulet.

"Why am I here?" she asked Jim.

"A few officers found you in an alley not far from here. What were you doing down there?"

The young girl shivered " I was hiding from someone. He scares the living crap out of me but I knew him since we were kids." she told him in a scared voice.

This confused Jim to no end. Who could she know that could scare her so much she resorted to hiding in an alley. "If you don't mind me asking but who are you hiding from?" Suddenly the TV in the office came on.

"JIM" yelled a man with shaggy hair and a wore a fedora on his head called out to the man. "THEY'RE BACK!"

"Who?" Jim was confused on who was back.

"Jerome's wannabes." When the girl heard this name she froze and turn pale. Her reaction did not go unnoticed by the kind man. He crouched down and looked at her.

"You know Jerome's cult don't you?" She nodded shakingly. "What's your name?" he knew that it was late to ask her name but if he knew her name he could see the connection between the madman and the scared girl.

"Lily. He always called me his pure flower." she said to him gripping the necklace.

"Who did?" he questioned Lily looked terrified

"Jerome himself" this confused Jim even more so. How did she know him?

"What was your relationship with him?" Jim asked Lily.

"I'm his adopted sister." The shocked Jim to the core. How did he not know that Jerome had a sister? "He didn't see me as his sister. "

"What do you mean?" Jim was confused.

"He is like Jervis Tetch. He sees me as a lover, a possession." Lily coward.

"Oh my god." Jim knew Jerome was sick but his own sister. One lunatic loving his sibling as a lover was bad enough but two was a nightmare. If Jerome was anything like Tetch, he would come after her and hurt her like Tetch did Alice. This isn't good. He had to watch out for Bruce as well because of Jerome's cult. " Do you know anyone around here to take you in?" She shook her head no . "Would you mind if I put you with someone until we catch Jerome's cult?" She shook her head again. " Let's get you checked over then we will head to a friends house." Jim brought her to the M.E. office to get checked over. He walked into the office and was greeted by the ever angery Medical Examiner Dr. Lee Tompkins.

"Jim? What's going on?" she walked up to him and saw Lily hiding "Oh hello. What's your name?"

"Lily. My name is Lily" the young girl shyly responded.

"She needs to be checked out before I put her in protective custody." Jim said sternly. This confused Lee to no would he put her in protective custody?

"Jim what in the world is going on?" Lee ask sternly. "Why does she needs to be put in protective custody?"

"She's Jerome Valeska's adoptive sister. She ran away from his cult and I'm guessing because he was much like Tetch." This made Lee very concern. She knew she had to put her anger towards Jim aside and help this little girl hide from that monster. It's bad enough that his cult is trying to revive the monster. She looked back at the girl and held her hand out towards her

"Come on sweetie. Let's make sure you are ok." Lily was hesitant of moving forward but she could see that Lee was a good person at heart, so she grabbed the woman's hand and followed her. Lee gave her a ten minute check up and saw that she was fine and perfectly able to go to wherever Jim was taking her. "You're all good and since I know today has being very terrifying I think every girl who goes this and is as strong as you are deserves" Lee pulled out a hidden stash of chocolate "Chocolate" she gave the young girl the stash and smile. " Be safe sweetie." The young girl nodded and walked back to the kind hearted cop.

"Bye Dr, Lee" The young girl smiled softly then followed Jim out of the station.

About an hour later Jim's car pulled up to the Wayne manor's Gates.

"This is where I'm staying? Why?" Lily spoke up.

"Because Jerome was going to kill Bruce before he died. We need to keep both you and him protected."Jim said with no room to question him. He pulled into the driveway and walked to the door. When he and Lily made it he rang the doorbell and not even five minutes later an older man that had a kind face but serious face had opened the door.

"Ah Detective. Nice to see you again." The man said in an english accent. His eyes wandered down to the young girl next to him "Who's this?"

"This is Lily. She needs to be in protective custody because of the Cult" Jim gently pushed the young girl forward."Please let her stay. She and Bruce are in danger." Jim begged slightly to the englishman.

"Of course." He smiled and held his hand out to the young girl. "Welcome Miss. Lily. Let me introduce Master Bruce." He called out for the mysterious Bruce

"Yes Alfred?" a young man that was about Lily's age walked up to the door. His eyes met the young girls dark brown eyes that were filled to the brim with curiosity. "Hi" he smiled and gave her a small smile. "I'm Bruce." The young girl shied away from the young man.

"Bruce meet Lily. She needs to be in protective custody but right now you are the only one who can keep her safe. The cult is after her and they are trying to bring Jerome back. Keep her safe."
