Disclaimer: I own zip, although muse is my character as well as Joe and the little café.
A/N: sorry for such a long wait for this chapter but you see my life is slowly killing me and I have lost the urge to write this story. I have come up with an ending and I do plan on finishing this story. I want to thank the faithful readers of this story and welcome the new ones.
Chapter 11
Gordon sighed while walking to his office threw the bustle of the station with Frank hot on his heels. Jim had just found Ricky Ray outside HQ with the normal envelope attached.
He sat at his desk looking, contemplating, on whether or not he wanted to open his newest lead on Muse.
"Are you gonna open it or just stare at it all day?" Frank questioned sounding somewhat frustrated.
Gordon ran a hand threw his hair "I wish I could just stare at it all day"
Frank gave his friend a reassuring pat on the shoulder "I know what you mean"
Jim had slowly started to open the envelope and let the contents slide out on to his desk.
As always there was a note and a CD.
The note stated:
Dear Gordon,
I hope my friend Ricky Ray didn't give you too much trouble. Let me just say these past few days have been enough fun for a few weeks, so a little me time is in order; don't ya think? But moving on to business, the CD was made as a reminder and something to add to my lovely little file! Enjoy my time off Gordon, because the next thing I pull won't be small.
Loony Toon,
M. Muse
Gordon let a small smile form on his lips.
Frank piped in "What? What is it?"
"It seems our friend, Muse, needs a rest from being the center of attention" Gordon spoke while folding the note back up.
"It sounds like you're getting use to Muse Jim" Frank said with a raised eyebrow.
"She's been terrorizing the city for three almost four months now so" Gordon was cut off
"That's not what I meant! She's not another Batman, Jim!" Frank yelled
Gordon replied calmly "And she's not another Joker either. Now get home and see your family Frank."
Frank gave a small glare but left Gordon's office, all the same.
Gordon heaved a sigh "Let's see what little present she left me this time"

(With Amie)
It had been a good week without Muse gallivanting around Gotham. Amie had started getting bored of normal life all over again.
She took a deep breath and watched the town's people go about their oh-so wonderful lives.
"Joe Joe, I'm getting tired of watching life pass me by" Amie huffed.
Joe ran a hand through her hair "I know ya are, but you need to let your shoulder heal up. Or would you like another month of healing added to the few weeks you have left?"
Amie pouted "I don't wanna"
Joe sighed and then had gotten an evil idea "If you don't stop your whining I swear you won't get your birthday gift"
You wouldn't!" She gasped
Joe smirked "Oh I would"
Amie glared and growled at him but said nothing.
"So I got news about your birthday to warn you about" Joe spoke quickly.
Amie raised an eyebrow "And what's that?"
"You know how much my family loves you" He pause and then went on "Well my cousin is throwing you a big birthday party with mostly all of Gotham coming"
Amie chocked on air "What!" After regaining herself she yelled at him "You better not be behind this Joe or I'll..."
"I didn't say anything Aim, believe me all I wanted to do for your birthday was make you dinner, watch movie, have cake and give you your present" Joe said cutting Amie off.
"Well since I know I can't get out of this, please for the love of god Joe help them plan thus thing to the point where I can bare it" She sighed and put her head on the counter.
Joe gave her a small smile "I will okay"
He waited a few seconds before asking "Hey, you gonna let Batman and Joker know it's your birthday?"
"Humm, I haven't really given that one much thought, I don't know" Amie shrugged.
(Elsewhere)
"Tell me how you managed to miss Batman, you babbling imbecile!" yelled a voice coming from the shadow that sat behind a desk.
"Boss, I'm sorry! That new character Muse got in the way of the shot and… and it won't happen again boss! I swear!" stuttered a grown man who was pleading for his life.
The figure stood "You're right it won't happen again"
The man cowered slightly "Boss?"
Before the poor man knew what was happening he was engulfed by a red smog. Soon the room was filled with screams of terror.
"Musical Muse… I do wonder what goes on in that mind of yours, what terrors lurk deep in your subconscious" The shadow paused to think and then continued "I do believe we'll have to find out now, won't we?"
Chuckling to its self the shadow left the now silent room.
A/N: Yeah I know its short but hey the next ones extremely long and I'll try and get it up this week. Sorry if the chapter sucks!
