10. Pelican trouble

The GCPD Forensic, Edward Nygma, felt extremely honored when Alfred Pennyworth asked him to babysit Selina for a few hours. He was so happy he could show someone his babysit skills.

Selina stands outside the enormous mansion watching the car with Alfred and Bruce inside disappear through the manor gates in the distance. Bruce had a sudden toothache, so the butler took him to a dentist.

Selina's phone starts to ring and after answering it she finds out it's her friend Ivy who asks her if she could hide a friend inside Wayne Manor. Selina said it was fine as long she brought him over before Nygma would arrive.

After hanging up, Selina heads back inside and dashes up the stairs. While Alfred was away with Bruce she could finally take that extremely long bath she wanted to take since the day she arrived at the manor, but so far Alfred always clocked five minutes bath time.

Selina was relaxing and enjoying her warm bath when Ivy arrived. The red haired girl knocked onto the bathroom door and told her friend she hid her friend in the room with the sign on the door that said; 'out of order.'

"Fine, just make sure you pick him up again tonight!" Selina yelled at the door. "Also, don't try to steal anything on your way out! I know where to find you if you do!"

Ivy growled something in return then seconds later the front door shut, loudly.

Selina pulls in a deep, relaxing breath and closes her eyes, dreaming about a dark haired street boy she usually roamed the streets with. Then her memory flies away at the sound of the front door, opening and closing again.

"Selina, it's me, Mr. Nygma!"

Knowing that Ed will tell Alfred about her long hot bath, the young cat burglar scrambles outside the bathtub, then dries herself off quickly and 'shoots' into her street clothes.

"Selina!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm here!" Selina yelled back and came skipping down the stairs, looking as innocently as she could. "I'm going to watch some TV."

Selina dashes away, leaving Ed alone with a big questioned look on his face.

"Maybe I should take a look upstairs. Mr. Pennyworth said I had to check all of her traces to make sure she done anything illegal."

Ed listens and hears the TV in the other room then starts making his way up the stairs. Once he stands on the top landing he looks around then suddenly hears a strange noise. It sounded like a animal.

"Mr. Pennyworth didn't tell me anything about pets."

Ed walks suspiciously into the direction of the animal sounds then notices a room in the back with a sign, saying; 'out of order.' The animal noises definitely come from the other side of that door.

Ed grabs the door handle and realizes it's not locked. Cautiously he peers inside and notices it's a very old bathroom witch a broken bathtub in it and a toilet that seems overflowing with old, stinking porridge. The bathtub still has some water left in it, or maybe it's added in it, because there was a pelican floating from left to right.

Anger starts to boil inside the forensic's gut, but he still can force himself to close the door, calmly then make way back downstairs to find the culprit who sits in the TV room watching some documentary about cats.

Selina sits like a little child on the floor and straight in front of the TV, watching every move with her green eyes.

Without making a sound, and totally calm on the outside but already murdered the girl four times in his head, Ed sits down onto the couch.

"Do you…have any idea…how much trouble you are in?"

Selina frowns then turns her head to look at the 'calm looking man on the outside, but fuming like a wild racoon on the inside' then yells in defence and pointing at the screen; "It's rated G!"

Ed rolls his eyes; "I'm not talking about the stupid documentary. I'm talking about that thing you did upstairs!"

Selina starts to rise to her feet, her eyes locked angrily onto Ed. No one is allowed to accuse her from anything she didn't do, and she will be prepared to punch his face for it. Especially if he dared to grab her ear or something and kick her in a room like Alfred always does when she broke a rule.

"All I did was taking a bath that was over the five minutes, alright?! It's not like I broke one of Bruce's stupid vases!"

Ed jumps to his feet; "Stop playing dumb! You know what you did and I will make sure you will be punished for it!"

"Hey, I'm just a minor and you are the assigned supervisor with babysit duty. Whatever illegal crap I supposedly did, you will be held responsible for it."

Ed's face turns red in rage; "No I won't!"

Selina sends a cocky smirk; "I can always call Jim Gordon and ask him about the laws and rules of this city."

Ed opens his mouth and suddenly a squawk echoes through the manor.

Selina laughs; "I know my witty comments can make people speechless, but this is something new."

"Just shut up!" Ed scowled. "You know exactly that was not me!"

Selina sighs, suddenly remembering something Jim told Alfred. It had something to do with Ed's crazy obsession for games and riddles.

"Look, if this is one of your stupid games, I'm not interested. If you'll excuse me, I'll go back watching my documentary about cats."

Ed takes a step closer to the young girl and penetrates his furious eyes into hers and says, emphasising each word; "You've done some silly things in your life, you little cat monster, but this is the WORST!"

Selina, not taken aback by the look in Ed's eyes, asks plaintively looking; "Can you tell what I've done?"

The bird in the bathroom squawks again, then suddenly she remembers Ivy was hiding a friend in the house. That's also the moment she regrets for not asking Ivy if her friend was human or not.

"Wait, Ed, I can explain it!" Selina yelled and ran after Ed who already stomped back up the stairs, down the first floor landing to the room in the back and entered then closed it before Selina could make her way in.

Selina made a thud to the door with her nose, then rubs the sore spot and grumbles; "Ed, let me in!"

"Go away, Selina!" Then, with soothing voice, Ed says addressed to the bird; "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just calling some friends and-aaagh!"

Selina hears Ed scream loudly then hears the pelican squawk angrily. It all sounded like Ed is getting throttled by a bird.

Selina decides it's best to hide in her room, in case Ed comes out and is still able to attack her.

Jim and Bullock is buying their well-earned lunch at the food truck when suddenly a phone starts to ring. Jim grabs his phone and looks at the caller ID.

"It's Nygma."

Bullock snorts then takes a bite from his cheeseburger and asks, with mouthful; "Since when is he calling you?"

Jim simply shrugs then says into the phone, with an edgy tone; "Jim Gordon speaking!"

Ed swallowed, realizing Jim doesn't like to be interrupted during his lunch break.

Jim listens to what Ed has to tell and his face turns even more soar.

"There's a what?"

"What's going on?" Bullock asked, gaping at his puzzled looking partner.

Jim puts his phone back in his pocket and says while making way towards the car; "You've got to see this to believe it."

Bullock looks at the burger in his hand then to the bin, debating to take it with him or dump it. He knows Jim doesn't like crumbs in his car, but he's also still hungry.

"Harvey!"

Bullock quickly fills his mouth as full as he can then rushes to the car and hops into the passenger seat, chewing wildly as Jim keeps pushing the speeding limit, getting at Wayne Manor as fast as he can.

Slowly, the three adults stroll down the stairs, all three equally puzzled. How could Selina be so stupid and take a bird that size to the Manor. Alfred would go ape. Fear sparkled in Ed's eyes when Jim mentioned it.

Bullock snorts, coming from the kitchen with a cold beer. "Yeah, if that crazy cat-brat wanted to have a bird to play with, we could have called Cobblepot."

"Hey, I'm telling you, I'm not the one who took it!" Selina hollered, strolling down the stairs and into the hallway, up to the three adults. She isn't even noticing Ed's glare, slowly turning infuriated again. "There's no way I'm going to take the blame. But, since no one believes me, I have a question. Is there a prison sentence for something like this?"

"Didn't I tell you to lock yourself in your bedroom, for your own protection?" Ed growled.

Selina froze up again, whimpering in fear. Jim starts wondering what Ed did to make her that scared.

"Her own protection?" Bullock snorted for the second time, taking a sip from his beer. "From a pelican?" Selina's face, slowly turns into a smirk.

"No, from me!" Ed bellowed, chasing Selina all the way back up the stairs and into her room, which she securely locked behind her.

"Ed, just leave her for now!" Jim hollered from downstairs. "How are you going to get the bird out of here before Alfred returns?"

"Well, I was thinking…" Ed marches down the stairs and into the study, lifting up a large carbon box. "With this?" Jim scowls at Bullock before the cop could even snort about Ed's ridiculous idea. "Hard to imagine that catching a pelican could be the least of my problems."

"Tell you what, we help you with catching the bird, but you have to take it to a zoo, yourself." Ed nods agreed.

"Fine!" Bullock growls, placing his beer onto the coffee table. "Let's get fish breath back to the zoo."

"I'll feed him some fish to lure him to the box," Jim said, walking into the bathroom followed by Ed and Bullock. All three adults stare stupefied to the bathtub. It was empty. No sign of a pelican, at all.

"No one shut the door?" Ed started fuming of anger.

"Either that, or that bird is way smarter than it looks," Bullock snorted.

Selina, who heard Bullock's comment all the way in her bedroom, start to laugh her head off.

Ed, slowly getting it, turns murderous again and if it wasn't for Jim to intervene in time, he would have done something really horrible to the young girl, who purposely, had let out the bird.

"Let's spread out and find this freaking bird," Jim said, grabbing Ed's arm in time. The forensic calms down and nods.

The three adults start scoping the entire manor for a pelican.

It just so happens, that this very pelican is waddling down the stairs, through the hallway and into the study. A loud crash is heard when the bird knocks over a few small side tables, and squawks, angrily.

The two cops and the forensic, rush quickly down the stairs to check the damage. It's a war zone in the study and it seems the pelican has left the crime scene, cause as the adults spin around to find the bird, they can't find it. Unaware to them, the pelican had waddled to the kitchen.

Suddenly, another uproarious crash and this time it's the sound of breaking glass. While Ed's cleans some of the mess in the study, the two cops rush toward the kitchen, again without any results. The bird was gone, into the laundry room.

"Where is he?!" Bullock growled, really feeling the urge to give up and get himself a beer. Jim stops him before he can even open the fridge.

"If you check the laundry room, I'll check upstairs!"

Bullock gives Jim a stink-eye, then shrugs and does what's told.

Jim heads upstairs, not noticing the pelican behind him, who just escaped Bullock's eyes and waddled through another door into the hallway.

Jim checks all the bedrooms, even the ones with the doors closed. You'll never know. Maybe Selina might have let him in, to annoy them. The pelican however, explores the down stair rooms.

Bullock stopped searching and took a beer break to calm his nerves.

" Pelican! Mr Pelican?" Ed shouted, heading up the stairs then starts spinning on the landing in distress. He totally lost his marbles and doesn't know where to look.

"Did anyone catch it yet?" Selina comes from her room, meeting eyes with the insane Ed. With a loud scream, Selina disappears into her room as Ed charges in a straight bee line, toward her.

Bullock, who heard the young girl's distress call and thinking she saw the bird, bounces to his feet and rushes through the laundry room, almost slipping onto something in the process. The cop looks down and under his shoe.

"Yuk!" Bullock growled and a disgusting look forms on his face. "That freaking bird just shitted on the floor and now it's under my shoe!"

Neither of the two other adults heard any of it. They are both too preoccupied. Ed, with banging onto Selina's door, demanding her to let him in so he can shove something down her ass, while Jim desperately tried to calm him down. But there was no going back for Ed. He just had fallen off the edge of sanity.

Selina, quickly escapes through her bedroom window.

After another hour, the three men finally catch the bird, who was lurking at Bruce's aquarium. Jim quickly covered the bird with the box and ignored its angry squawks. Then the cop looks at Ed who was standing in the bathroom looking into the mirror, mumbling softly.

"Alfred will go ape. He will never trust me again."

"You're the one who's going ape. Get yourself together and get that crazy girl and snap her like a twig."

"No, I can't do that. I will go to jail."

"Who cares if you go to jail. We will learn a lot of new cool things in there. We can hang out with other loonies."

As Ed keeps muttering a conversation to himself, Jim and Bullock share a stupefied look. Then, Bullock shrugs, ordering Jim to take the bird to the zoo, while he finishes his beer and keeps an eye on the loony-bird named Nygma.

Jim just shrugs then lifts the box up and heads downstairs. Then he places it onto the backseat of his car and hops behind his wheel, taking the bird to the nearest zoo.

Selina however, walked into Ivy and told her the bad news about the three adults who chased the bird all day, and probably had taken it to the zoo by now. After that, Selina had to run.

And running is what she did, but the angry ginger haired girl did as well.
