A/N please vote in my poll to see decided what will happen to Ed Nygma.

"And then she brought me back here" said Harvey as he finished telling the story to someone on a video call named Jason. This Jason seemed about 17 or 18, yet very well educated and knew what was going on. He had brown hair with a white streak in it, and green eyes.

Apparently the flying woman had recognized Harvey and called this guy who confirmed he was in fact Harvey Bullock. "So I guess I have memory loss? You two seem to recognize me but I certainly don't know you."

"Actually it looks like you time travelled" said Jason.

"What!" said Harvey. Jason held up a bizarrely flat cell phone.

"I've been texting Bruce Wayne. Apparently Jim Gordon got pulled 20 years into the future and Damian found him in the basement. I'm gonna text him and tell him your here too".

Then Harvey disappeared. Then a few seconds later he reappeared translucent.

"What the?"

Back in Wayne Manor

Bruce Wayne had looked up from his phone. He'd just finished calling and texting everyone. He told them to be careful what they revealed around young commissioner Gordon and warned Barbara not to come to Wayne Manor, even though her and Alfred were in Fresno.

Bruce heard a loud bang come from upstairs where Damian and Jim were. "What happened? Are you okay?" shouted Bruce.

"I'm fine I just knocked over some of my stuff!" yelled Damian from his room. Bruce sat down.

I probably shouldn't have told Jim not to look into stuff the way I did. I hope I wasn't to harsh.

Bruce reminded himself of all that could happen if Jim Gordon accidentally altered the timeline because he knew to much. Or how quite simply his son's mother was not a topic Damian would want to be asked about at all, which naturally Jim Gordon wouldn't know.

I guess that's the cost of what we do. Way to many secrets to keep and relationships strained.

Then Bruce realized something.

How long can I keep our identities a secret? He's already seen part of the cave so he'd recognize my symbol, he knowswe do something bizarre, and he's going to be here with us. Commissioner Gordon does eventually find out my identity, but not 18 years ago! When I was 16 Gordon did definitely not know who I'd be in the future.

Even if we do get him back before he finds out about us, what will happen when he's in say, 2001 and he hears about the capped crusader going around jumping on rooftops? If he's seen the cave on the future he might figure out it's a young me. And that's not even considering him just seeing the news. We have it on all the time and they're constantly reporting on-

Damian ran into the study. Bruce jumped up. Damian caught his breath and said "Dad, we have a little problem".

A/N This is the first time a segment was from the point of view of someone other than the characters who got sent to the future. I tried to shed a little light on some things without losing too much of the dramatic irony which I thought made the story so much more interesting and suspenseful.

I know I said Damian has an Arabic accent and then didn't bother trying to write it into the dialogue. If anyone has tips on how to do that I'd be happy to hear in the reviews. I'd like to thank everyone for the follows favorites and views. Please review! It will help me get updates out faster.
