"There's a war coming. A terrible war. There will be chaos. Rivers of blood in the streets"
Cobblepot never enjoyed the Blood. But pretty soon. He was bathing in it. But before the blood, came the water. "Don't ever come back to Gotham" were the last words that he'd heard. He was pushed face first into the water. He floated there lifeless. Until he realised that he was still breathing. He lifted his head up, only for more waves to take over. He let them guide him. Feeling sorry for himself.
He swam until he could see the first spot of land. He pulled himself up. He gave the ground a friendly pat, as if it was an old friend. He rested. Looking up at the sky. Shaking from the wind.
He got up and started walking. There must be a store around here that could give him directions. He walked down a long road. He tried to summon a car. Most of them drove past them. Like he didn't exist.
Then one stopped.
"Hey are you okay? Would you like a lift somewhere?" The Guy asked. Cobblepot looked at him. The Guy seemed genuine. He looked unassuming and cute.
"Why thank you Sir's. I've been walking for over an Hour" Cobblepot said, getting into the car.
"Here have a beer mate" The Guy's friend said. For some reason. Cobblepot didn't like his friend. The Guys introduced themselves as John-Paul and Stephen, who was called "Ste" for short. Cobblepot liked John-Paul.
John-Paul asked Cobblepot questions and made him feel calm. Cobblepot didn't like Ste, the other guy. Ste was shorter, and over-confident. Ste had Rat-like features and he talked way too loudly for Cobblepot's liking.
"So... you've...had an adventure?" John-Paul asked.
"Yes. I'm some-what bloody. But war is never squeaky clean" Cobblepot said. Ste laughed. It irratated him.
"Here ya. Have a drink on us" Ste said. Cobblepot took the bottle from him, but he didn't drink it. They paused as they saw Seagulls up above them.
"Did you know that Seagulls can actually lay their Eggs in water and take care of the Eggs in there?" John-Paul asked.
"Yes. Males and females" Cobblepot said with a nod.
"Oh Oswald...you like birds too?" John-Paul asked. Cobblepot nodded. They looked at each other in the rear-view mirror. Poor Ste, so clueless and crass. Ste turned to Cobblepot and said:
Got a lot in common with Birds right? People tell you that. Right Cobble?" Ste asked.
"Umm...Excuse me?" Cobblepot asked.
"Do you fake that walk? You walk like a Fucking Penguin" Ste said laughing.
"Ste!" John-Paul said Shocked.
"Well it's true" Ste said with a shrug. He turned back. Cobblepot grabbed his own bottle and put it on his lap.
"No Stephen. No-one's ever told me that" Cobblepot said.
He broke the bottle. It shattered. He took the sharpest piece of glass and buried it into Ste's neck. It was terrible. Not Ste's death. But seeing John-Paul McQueen covered in his "friend" blood. The shock and the horror, made Cobblepot nervous. For a second.
But Cobblepot had bigger things to worry about. Before John-Paul had time to react, or scream for help, Cobblepot's hands were around John-Paul's neck. He'd be patient this time.
Cobblepot tried to control his hard on, as he felt John-Paul go unconscious. Making sure that no-one was around, Cobblepot got into the driver's seat.
Cobblepot didn't know if John-Paul was worth more Dead or Alive.
For the first time since Gordon freed him, Cobblepot wanted Fish Mooney by his side...
