Young Guns
Chapter: 3
It's that same old dance
Private School
The rest of the school day was rather interesting as Bruce decided to stay as James also stayed as well under the watchful eye of both Detective Gordon and Bullock as James mingled with several students as he is attending classes along with Bruce in which in a way to keep their mind off the escape mad kid who escaped Arkham and is gunning for Bruce due to their last encounter.
Bruce had read up on Jerome Valeska as the kid is sick and crazy, whom killed his own parents and has a brother who doesn't live in Gotham and is not like Jerome at all, due to the fact the brother of Jerome lives with his uncle. Bruce vowed not to kill him and that is what he is aiming to do, so the school day came to an end as he got some homework to do and right now Bruce along with James are heading outside of school.
They are followed behind by both detectives and there is Alfred by the car, everyone else is heading home for the day in which it is a rare sunny day in Gotham and most the time the city is dark and moody considering there is a so-call curse upon the city, for some reason. James had finished talking to Helena in which they're setting up a date for a later time and after that he joined Bruce.
"This Jerome fellow seems like a disturbed person," said Bond "Guess his train hasn't boarded the station,"
"Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot," said Bruce
"You know one they could make that into a song," said Bond "It has a nice ring to it,"
"Ah, Master Bruce and James," said Alfred "did you two had a good day at school considering that nut job escaped,"
"It wasn't so bad," said Bruce "Ted Wildcat Grant got embarrassed by James in the boxing ring, other than that it's a typical day in school,"
"Good, good," said Alfred "We'll be making a pit stop in the hospital as I know you want to check on Max,"
"Of course," nodded Bond
"The James talks about him," said Bruce "He is kind of like you,"
"Well I wouldn't say that," said Alfred "And I take it our escorts will be tagging along,"
"Got that right," said Bullock
Captains orders," said Gordon
They headed to their cars and drove off.
Gotham Hospital
They took their time, but arrived at Gotham hospital a private hospital owned by the Wayne Foundation of Wayne Enterprises as everyone got out of their vehicles and headed inside, then using the elevator to head to the floor that Bond's uncle Max is on. Once they got to the room as Bullock and Gordon stood guard outside as James, Bruce and Alfred headed in the room as Max is lying there peacefully.
"Ah I have company," said Max "Besides these bloody doctors and the lovely nurses,"
"How are you old friend," asked Alfred
"The treatment is going well as I will be in here for a week," said Max "I don't mind it as I prefer holidays,"
"Good to see you are doing well," said Bond "And don't worry your wife will be giving you hell later when we get back to England,"
Max chuckled and said "I know, I know, and you Alfred need to speak more to Olivia, she is still pissed at you,"
"I….uh have duties to Master Bruce here," said Alfred
"If you need anything Mister Bond let me know," said Bruce
"Oh call me Max," said Max "Everyone does and same time tomorrow with the visit,"
All of them nodded as the doctor came to check on Max as they know in which it is time to leave and so they do so, to head to Wayne Manor for the rest of the day and Bruce wanted to get some homework done.
Unknown location in Gotham
"Time to get up kitty cat," said Jerome
Selina groaned and woke up as she felt a chill upon her body as she is wearing some odd looking outfit that is very relieving and growled in anger as she tried to lunge at Jerome, but couldn't due to the fact she is chained to the wall.
"What the hell am I wearing you asshole," said Selina
"Just something of a pussy cat wears in parties and guess what you are Brucie's date," said Jerome as he laughed "It will be a night to die for, oh that is right….time for the guest of honor to come,"
Wayne Manor
Gordon and Bullock patrolled the grounds of the Manor as Alfred, James and Bruce were inside as it is a relaxing time as Alfred went to go make something to eat for all of them as James and Bruce were in the study in which they were talking for a moment as the television is on, but James rarely watches television and then the channel changed to something else as it shows an image of a red haired person with a strange smile and Bruce knows who is it.
"Hello there couch potatoes of Gotham," said Jerome "I need no introduction, because all of you know who I am," he laughed "Well Bruice I got a surprise for you," the image switches over to Selina as she is in a strange get-up and is chained to the wall "If you want to rescue your precious kitty princess. Come to this location and because kitty witty will lose all of her nine live if you don't come in time," it shows a location and then to Jerome "Be seeing you Bruice it will be a reunion to die for hah,aha,hah,ahahahahahahah,"
