Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)
Chapter 14
Gotham city (Day 92)
The GCPD
Captain Gordon was speaking to Theresa Walker on the radio and informing her about the destruction of Haven.
"As of now the death toll stands at 311, 49 people are injured, and more than 2 dozen are unaccounted for." Captain Gordon said
"I'm so sorry Captain Gordon, do you have any idea who may have done this?" Theresa asked
"There was an incursion by several gangs so one of them could've done it. We still can't rule out who was behind the destruction of Haven." Captain Gordon said
"I'm working on getting you help." Theresa said
"You've been promising us help for weeks. I have bodies lined up on the streets." Captain Gordon said
"You have every right to be upset Captain Gordon and I will do everything I can to make sure that you…." Theresa said, but was immediately stopped when Captain Gordon turned off the radio, because this conversation was going nowhere.
As Captain Gordon sat in his office he suddenly heard some commotion going on outside. He exited out of his office and saw the police trying to keep the civilians under control, because they were arguing about what happened at Haven.
"Let them through." Captain Gordon said
The officers did what he said and let the civilians speak.
"When are you going to find the guy that blew up Haven my family was in there." A man said
"How are you going to keep us safe if you and the police can't even defend yourselves?" A woman asked
"You said that the masked vigilantes would protect us. Where were they when Haven burned to the ground?" A random man asked
Captain Gordon listened to what the civilians said and he too kept asking himself the same questions over and over again. He couldn't let this get to him, because right now the main priority is to find out who is responsible for blowing up Haven.
"I know how you feel, we all lost people we care about. I feel your grief, I feel your anger. I know you're all scared, but we can't let this destroy the hope that we've built. I understand if you feel that the vigilantes abandoned us, but you have to remember that they can't be everywhere at once so you shouldn't lose faith in them. I promise you we will find the person behind the destruction of Haven and justice will be served." Captain Gordon explained
"How are you going to stop it from happening again." A man asked
The civilians continued arguing and nothing Captain Gordon said was able to calm them down. Captain Gordon could tell that the civilians weren't going to listen to him so he walked away from the scene and went in the other direction where Lucius Fox and Harvey Bullock were standing.
"It was a nice try." Harvey said
"Can you blame them they're angry and it's going to take more than words. Someone has to pay for this soon." Captain Gordon said
"Well the department is not exactly firing on all cylinders. We got more men than bullets and we ain't got that many men." Harvey said
Jim then turned his attention to Lucius.
"Lucius I need something, go through every piece of evidence you can find. I need to know who did this and how." Captain Gordon said
"It's not going to be easy the crime scene alone…." Lucius said, but was stopped when Jim interrupted his sentence.
"Just do whatever you have to the clock is ticking." Captain Gordon said
Lucius just gave him a quick nod in agreement and then immediately left to go do his job.
"More then you know, I mean when Penguin was leaving Haven that's when the whole place blew up." Harvey said
"You really think he would have something to do with this. I mean he wanted to take over Haven so why would he destroy it?" Captain Gordon asked
"Well I mean the Lo Boyz and Deadshot did betray him so maybe Penguin figured if he can't have Haven then nobody can." Harvey said
"This doesn't make any sense I mean there's got to be more to it." Captain Gordon said
"Or what if it was someone else who wanted Penguin dead. I mean think about it who is the only other person in Gotham that Penguin has pissed off in the past?" Harvey asked
"Barbara Kean." Captain Gordon said
"Bingo." Harvey said
Captain Gordon needed to find out if Barbara was behind this or not.
"Harvey you're in charge until I get back." Captain Gordon said
"Wait where are you going?" Harvey asked
"To get answers from Barbara." Captain Gordon said
Captain Gordon then left Harvey and headed into the garage of the GCPD. He got into his car and then drove off to head over to "The Siren's Club".
Meanwhile downstairs in the medical room Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth stayed with Selina Kyle while she was still resting in bed. During that time Alfred noticed that Bruce had a worried look on his face.
"You alright master Bruce?" Alfred asked
"Hmm….oh sorry Alfred I didn't mean to not answer you." Bruce said
"You must be worried about something." Alfred
"What makes you say that?" Bruce asked
"Well you do have a concerned look on your face." Alfred
"I do, huh, I didn't even notice." Bruce said
"What's bothering you master Bruce?" Alfred asked
"Selina has been asleep for hours, I mean I know she's alright, but I just want her wake up, because I care about her so much." Bruce said
"I know you do master Bruce and I know how you feel. I care about miss Kyle too, sure we may have had our differences in the past, but I'm happy that she came into our lives." Alfred said
"I love her Alfred, I've been in love with her ever since we first met. When we got separated during the destruction of Haven I got scared. I was afraid that I was never going to see Selina again if one of us had died in that explosion. I can't imagine my life without Selina." Bruce explained
"I'm sure Selina feels the same way master Bruce." Alfred said
"Thank you Alfred." Bruce said
"You're welcome master Bruce." Alfred said
In that same moment Bruce and Alfred saw that Selina was starting to wake up. She opened her eyes and it took her a few seconds to realize where she was.
"Hey what happened?" Selina asked
"Selina thank god you're alright." Bruce said
Without any hesitation Bruce gave Selina a hug.
"Thanks B, I'm really glad you're safe too." Selina said
"Do you remember anything before you fell unconscious?" Alfred asked
"All I remember was that there was an explosion at Haven and then the next thing I know everything went dark." Selina said
"You were trapped under some rubble, I got you out safely just in time before the building collapsed. I brought you back to the GCPD for medical attention, because you were coughing a lot due to the smoke from the fire." Bruce said
"What happened to the civilians, are they alright? Selina asked
Bruce had a look of sadness on his when Selina asked him this question.
"Not everyone survived Selina, from what I heard from Captain Gordon he says that 311 people are dead. There are a few survivors, but they're still injured from the destruction at Haven." Bruce said
"Oh my god." Selina said with a shocked look on her face.
"The police are trying to investigate what could've caused the explosion and who may be behind it." Alfred said
A single tear fell from Selina's right eye.
"This is horrible, who would do such an evil thing?" Selina asked
"I don't know, but I promise you that we are going to find the person responsible for this no matter what." Bruce said
The Siren's Club
Captain Gordon enters "The Siren's Club" and sees two of Barbara's guards dragging a dead body away. He sees Barbara at the bar and tries to approach her, but is stopped when Tabitha Galavan got in his way and points a gun at him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Tabitha asked
"I need to speak with Barbara." Captain Gordon said
"You're wasting your time Captain Gordon so I suggest you leave now before I decide to put a bullet in your head." Tabitha said
In that moment Barbara intervened.
"Stand down Tabitha, obviously Jim is here for a reason so I don't mind talking to him for a while." Barbara said
Tabitha gave Barbara a quick nod and puts away her gun. After that Tabitha left the room so that way Jim and Barbara could talk alone.
"So what brings you here Jim and don't tell me that you just stopped by to say hello." Barbara said
"Where were you yesterday on the night that Haven was destroyed?" Captain Gordon asked
"You seriously think I had something to do with that, you've got to be kidding me. I heard Penguin was there when it happened so for all we know he could've done it." Barbara said
"This isn't a game Barbara, because right now 311 people are dead and I need you to start telling me the truth." Captain Gordon said
"What makes you think I attacked Haven?" Barbara asked
"I know you wanted to help Tabitha get revenge on Penguin for killing Butch. You knew Penguin was at Haven when it got blown up." Captain Gordon
"Yeah sure I wanted to help Tabitha kill the little twerp, but if I wanted Penguin dead I would've had my guards bring him here and get it over with." Barbara said
Captain Gordon could tell Barbara was telling the truth, so if she didn't destroy Haven then who did?
"If you and Tabitha are not behind this then explain to me why your guards were dragging a dead body away earlier." Captain Gordon asked
"There were rumors going on." Barbara said
"What rumor?" Captain Gordon asked
"Some people saw a shady guy walking around by Haven just before it blew up." Barbara said
"Barbara this is Gotham you're gonna have to do better then shady guy." Captain Gordon said
"How about a location, a building in the low east corner of Harlem Park. The man we interrogated says the guy is hold up in there." Barbara said
"You're worried "The Siren's Club" could be next." Captain Gordon said
"A girl has to protect her territory Jim." Barbara said
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Captain Gordon asked
"Jim I may be evil, but I'm not a heartless b#. Just do your job and get the guy that destroyed Haven." Barbara said
Captain Gordon didn't respond back. As he was about exit the club Barbara stopped him when she asked him a serious question.
"Do you really think I could've killed all of those people?" Barbara asked
"I don't know." Captain Gordon said
"I guess I deserve that." Barbara said
Suddenly Captain Gordon heard someone calling him on his police walkie talkie. It was Harvey so Captain Gordon instantly answered it.
"Jim can you hear me?" Harvey asked
"I hear you Harvey." Captain Gordon said
"We need you back at the station, we got a problem." Harvey said
"I'm on my way." Captain Gordon said
After that Captain Gordon quickly exited the club and drove off in his car.
Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed this new chapter to my story. As you can tell things are now going to get very intense now that the police are going to begin hunting down the person who blew up Haven. I plan on having Bruce and Selina getting back to business as the vigilantes in the next chapter. I know you're all wondering when I plan on brining Jeremiah back into this story, well I promise it will happen, but it may take maybe two or three chapters. The reason why I say this is, because I'm still trying to carefully plan out how I want each main villain to fit into this alternate version of season 5. The way I see it the main villains are basically Nyssa Al Ghul, Bane, and Jeremiah Valeska. The other guys like Penguin or Ivy Pepper are just minor villains of the season so I just wanted to clarify that. The next chapter may take time to update, because there's going to be a lot of action and talking scenes in it. Anyways thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a good day.
