Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)
Chapter 15 (Part 3)
Gotham city (Day 92)
Gotham city hall
Victor Zsasz was sitting in a chair handcuffed while being put on trial. During that same moment Oswald Cobblepot AKA the Penguin banged the hammer on his desk.
"Order in the court." Penguin said
Zsasz then started speaking.
"So uh….will I be appointed a lawyer, because I feel like my rights are being violated." Zsasz said
"You have the right to remain silent, bailiff." Penguin said
In that moment one of Penguin's men duct taped Zsasz's mouth to keep him quiet.
A crowd of people were standing behind Zsasz as they watch the trial unfold.
"Now where did you see the defendant before the explosion happened?" Penguin asked as he approached one of the witnesses in the court room.
"I saw Zsasz coming out of the building." The man said
"The same building that claimed so many innocent lives?" Penguin asked
"Yes." The man said
"Are there any others who can backup this man's testimony?" Penguin asked the crowd of people in the court room.
Everyone in the court room raised their hand.
"Very well then." Penguin said
Suddenly Zsasz tried to speak, but due to the duct tape on his mouth he could only make muffling sounds.
"It appears that the defendant wishes to say something." Penguin said
The bailiff removed the duct tape from Zsasz's mouth.
"If you guys are going to kill me can I at least go to the bathroom before I die?" Zsasz asked
"It appears that the defendant has already accepted his fate." Penguin said
The bailiff puts the duct tape back on Zsasz's mouth.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury it is time for you to decide. Is Mr. Zsasz innocent or guilty?" Penguin asked
There was a moment of silence for the crowd of people, but then they finally, came to a decision.
"Guilty." Everybody said all at once.
Penguin then turns his attention towards Zsasz.
"Victor Zsasz by the power vested in me by well me I hereby sentence you to die."
The crowd of people cheered for Penguin.
However, they're celebration was stopped when they heard gun fire coming from the other room. The doors open and we see one of Penguin's men with a look of fear on his face.
"Boss we got a problem." The man said
"What is going?" Penguin asked
The man was then shot in the back of the head by Tabitha Galavan as she entered the court room.
"Hello Penguin." Tabitha said with a fiendish grin on her face.
Two of Penguin's guards tried to aim their guns at her, but Tabitha immediately killed them before they could open fire.
All of the people in the court room got terrified of Tabitha so they backed away as she pointed her gun at them.
"Leave." Tabitha said to the crowd of people.
Everybody did what she said and they all left city hall.
Tabitha then turned her attention towards Penguin. She approached the scared man and grabbed him by the collar.
"I have been waiting so long to kill you and nothing is going to stand in my way this time." Tabitha said
Zsasz watched in amusement while still being handcuffed in the chair.
"Listen if this is about me killing Butch…." Penguin said, but was stopped short when Tabitha interrupted him.
"Don't you say his name you took him from me." Tabitha said as she pointed the gun at Penguin's chest.
"Can't we talk about this?" Penguin asked
Tabitha then punches Penguin in the face.
"There is nothing to talk about you little freak." Tabitha said in an angry voice.
"Please don't do this I beg you." Penguin said
"It's too late for that." Tabitha said
Just before Tabitha could pull the trigger something grabbed her right arm and pulled her really fast. It felt like a fishing hook was reeling her in, but in this case it was a grappling gun. Tabitha then fell on to the floor and she looked up and saw one of the masked vigilantes with a grappling gun in his hand. Unbeknown to her it was really Bruce Wayne behind the mask. Bruce kicked the gun out her hand and punched her in the face. Tabitha quickly untied herself from the grappling gun and then kicked Bruce to the ground. Before Tabitha could react she was attacked by the second vigilante. Again unbeknown to Tabitha it was actually Selina behind the mask. Tabitha blocked a few of her attacks, but Selina was able to kick her in the stomach. Bruce quickly gets back up from the floor and helps Selina fight Tabitha. While this was going on Penguin decided to hide behind his desk. During this same moment Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock came into the court room. They ran over to where Zsasz is and picked him up from the chair.
"Let's get him out of here." Jim said
"I can't believe we're actually doing this." Harvey said
Jim and Harvey take Zsasz out of the court room. Penguin saw the two police officers leave the room with Zsasz, but he couldn't worry about that right now. Penguin knew that Tabitha was going to kill him and he needed to think of something fast. Suddenly Penguin saw the gun that Tabitha dropped earlier.
As Bruce and Selina continue fighting Tabitha they start talking.
"Why are you doing this?" Selina asked
"To get revenge on Penguin for killing Butch." Tabitha said as she tried to punch her, but missed when Selina dodged it.
"It won't do you any good." Bruce said
"I don't care." Tabitha said
Bruce punches Tabitha in the nose, which makes her bleed a little. This makes Tabitha mad so she instantly tackles Bruce and the two fall on the floor. Selina tries to help Bruce, but Tabitha kicked her to the ground.
"I have had enough, it's time to put an end to this." Tabitha said
"I agree." Penguin said
Tabitha then turns around and is immediately shot in the chest by the Penguin. Penguin shot Tabitha a second time in the chest with her gun. Tabitha then drops to the floor as she starts bleeding to death.
Bruce and Selina couldn't believe what just happened. Selina became very mad, because even though she was longer associated with Tabitha she still cared about her. Selina then yells at Penguin with anger in her voice.
"YOU MONSTER!" Selina yelled
Selina quickly gets up from the floor and rushes at Penguin before he could even shoot her. Selina knocks the gun out of his hand and then uses her claws to slash his right eye out. This caused Penguin to scream in pain.
"My eye you scratched out my eye you b#%ch." Penguin said as he tried to cover his missing eye with his right hand.
Selina then knocks Penguin out with a single punch. Selina then turned around and saw Bruce kneeling next to Tabitha's body. She quickly rushed over to the dying woman and kneeled next to her.
"She's losing a lot of blood fast." Bruce said
"What do we do?" Selina asked
Tabitha then started speaking to the vigilantes.
"I'm not going to make it." Tabitha said
"Don't say that we'll take you to the GCPD and get you medical attention." Selina said while trying to fight back the tears in her eyes.
"I appreciate the offer, but it's too late for that." Tabitha said
"Don't say that we can still save you." Bruce said
"I said no." Tabitha said as she started coughing up blood.
It was in that moment Bruce and Selina knew that it was over for Tabitha.
"Please tell Barbara….I'm sorry." Tabitha said
Those were Tabitha's final words before she died. Bruce and Selina knew she was gone. Selina closed Tabitha's eyes with her fingers and just started crying. Bruce comforted Selina with a hug and waited until she finally, calmed down.
Gotham city docks
Jim and Harvey drove to the docks in the police car.
"I gotta be honest Jim I don't know how safe Zsasz will be at the GCPD. There's than a few cops who would love to see him on a slab." Harvey said
"That's why we're not taking him there." Jim said
The two men exit the vehicle.
"Wait a minute tell me this is not a catch and release." Harvey said
"What choice do I have either I let him go or he's dead for something he didn't do." Jim said
Jim took Zsasz out of the police car. He then took the duct tape off his mouth and used a key to unhandcuff him.
"Thank you Jim." Zsasz said
"I'm not doing this for you." Jim said
"Of course not this city will never be what you want it to be Jim, because it's always going to belong to the bad guys like me." Zsasz explained with an evil smile on his face.
In that moment Jim turned around and walked a few feet away from Zsasz.
"Give him your gun Harvey." Jim said as he turned back to face Zsasz right in front of him.
"What?" Harvey asked
"Yo what?" Zsasz asked with a look of confusion.
Jim then pulled out his gun showing that he was being serious.
"Jim." Harvey said
"DO IT!" Jim yelled
Harvey did Jim what told him to do and gave Zsasz his gun.
"You got a death wish Jim, because I'll kill you and Harvey too." Zsasz said
"Maybe, but maybe I'm just tired of listening to you Victor." Jim said
Zsasz looked at the gun for a few seconds and then looked back Jim.
"You know what you seem tired so why don't we do this another day." Zsasz said as he gave Harvey back his gun.
Jim put his gun away too as he approached Zsasz.
"People like you are always trying to own this town, but you never will. Now get the hell out of my face." Jim said
There a moment of silence between the two men. Zsasz then nods and starts walking away from the scene.
"See you around Jim." Zsasz said
Before the police got back into the police car they saw Zsasz turn around to say one more thing to them.
"Oh and by the way tell your masked vigilante friends that the next time I see them they're dead meat." Zsasz said
Zsasz then continues to walk away.
Jim and Harvey ignored what Zsasz said and proceeded to head back to the GCPD.
The Siren's Club
Barbara Kean was sitting at the bar hoping that Tabitha was alright. She knew Tabitha was going to hunt down Penguin no matter the cost. All Barbara could do was wait and hope that her friend will be safe. Barbara heard a sound and quickly turned around.
"Who's there?" Barbara asked
Barbara pulled out a gun that was hidden behind the bar.
Barbara then heard voices.
"We're not here to hurt you." Bruce said
Barbara then saw one of the vigilantes enter the room.
"What do you want?" Barbara asked
"It's about Tabitha." Selina said
Barbara then puts the gun away.
"Is Tabitha ok please tell me that Tabitha is alright." Barbara said
In that same moment Barbara saw the second vigilante come into the room. Bruce was carrying Tabitha's lifeless body, which was wrapped up in bed sheets.
"We're so sorry." Bruce said
"No." Barbara said as she walked towards the masked woman holding her dead friend.
"How did this happen?" Barbara asked
"She tried to kill Penguin, but we intervened. We fought her, but during the confrontation Penguin shot her in the chest twice. We tried to help her, but she refused and died from her wounds." Selina explained
"Before she died Tabitha wanted us to tell you that she's sorry." Bruce said
This broke Barbara.
In that same moment Barbara got down on her knees and started crying uncontrollably.
Somewhere underneath Gotham city
Ecco was holding a lantern to see how far the miners were doing with digging the tunnel. The miners have been working non-stop digging through the tunnel with shovels and pickaxes. They finally, reached their destination in the tunnel when they came across a brick wall.
"We found it at last." Ecco said
Ecco then walked over to the sleeping Jeremiah Valeska who was currently recovering from his stab wound. Jeremiah was lying in a custom bed while in his purple suit.
"Boss, boss wake up." Ecco said as she gently tapped Jeremiah on the shoulder.
"Ouch." Jeremiah said as he woke up from his sleep.
"Stitches still sore huh never would've happened if you had worn that armor I prepared for you." Ecco said
"That bullet is making you sentimental." Jeremiah said
Ecco didn't say anything except smile at Jeremiah.
"Give her a shake huh." Jeremiah said
Ecco did what he said and shook her head.
"Better." Jeremiah
Ecco nods while smiling.
"I told you I had to let one of those vigilantes stab me in the flesh at least once. What better way to sell the deception than by making it look like they actually killed me." Jeremiah explained
"I get it you needed the vigilantes to think you were dead boss." Ecco said
"Right." Jeremiah said as he grabbed Ecco by the collar.
Ecco could tell Jeremiah was being very serious.
"I take it you have news." Jeremiah said
"All systems go." Ecco said
"Well then lead the way." Jeremiah said
Ecco showed Jeremiah the end of the tunnel. The miners had just finished tearing the brick wall, which allowed the two psychopaths to see what's on the other side. Jeremiah and Ecco now find themselves coming out of what seem to be the fire place and into the living room of Wayne Manor. The two villains then see a plastic surgeon standing next to the two patients he had just finished operating on.
"Doctor I'm hearing good things." Jeremiah said
"The bandages are ready to come off. Your assistant thought you'd like to see the results." The doctor said
"Indeed I would." Jeremiah said
The doctor approached the two patients sitting on the couch and proceeded to removing the bandages from their faces. As Jeremiah sees the results he was amazed with the doctor's work. The patients faces look identical to Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Jeremiah laughed in joy.
"You both look beautiful I love family reunions don't you." Jeremiah said
"So what's the next step boss?" Ecco asked
"Get Jervis Tetch I want him to hypnotize these two and have them ready for the party. After all it's for a very special day." Jeremiah said
"Yes sir." Ecco said
"Everything is almost complete all we need now is our two guest of honor for this important occasion. We're going to give Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle a family reunion they'll never forget." Jeremiah said
Jeremiah and Ecco laugh evilly.
The Siren's Club
Barbara was in her office all by herself. She stood next to Tabitha's lifeless body as it laid on a table no longer wrapped in bed sheets. Barbara kissed the forehead of her dead friend as a final goodbye. She then places the bed sheets back over the body.
"I miss you so much Tabitha." Barbara said
Suddenly Barbara heard a familiar voice.
"Barbara." A familiar voice said
Barbara turned around and saw that it was none other than Captain Gordon.
"What do you want Jim?" Barbara asked
"I heard what happened to Tabitha I just came by to see if you were alright." Jim said
"Go away Jim you're only here, because you feel sorry for me." Barbara said
"Barbara I'm not here, because I feel sorry for you. I'm here, because I wanted to make sure you were alright." Jim said
"Why?" Barbara said
"Because it's what I do I care about people." Jim said
Barbara was surprised that even after everything she has done to Jim he still showed compassion towards her.
"I'm sorry it's just that…I miss her." Jim said
"It's alright I understand and I know Tabitha meant a lot to you." Jim said
"Yes she did." Barbara said
"I am so sorry for the loss of your friend." Jim said
"I appreciate it, but it's not going to bring her back."
There was a moment of silence between the two, but that ended when Jim started talking again.
"I could've prevented this I should've stopped Tabitha from going after Penguin. How could I have been so stupid." Barbara said
"It's not your fault Barbara, Tabitha wouldn't want you to blame yourself." Jim said
"You really think so?" Barbara asked
"Yes I do." Jim said
For some reason Jim's words actually made Barbara feel a little better.
"Look I need to get back to the station. If you ever need to talk just give me a call alright." Jim said
"Okay." Barbara said
Just before Jim left the office Barbara wanted to tell him something.
"Jim." Barbara said
"Yes." Jim said
"I just wanted to say thank you." Barbara said
"You're welcome." Jim said
After the conversation was over Jim exited the office and left "The Siren's Club".
Wayne Manor
Jeremiah was checking on Jervis to see how the hypnotizing process was going.
"Jervis how are things going with the mind control on the two patients."
"We're just about done Jeremiah your puppets are ready." Jervis said
Jeremiah approached the two patients sitting on the couch.
"Hello, you two can you tell me what your names are?" Jeremiah asked
The man spoke first.
"My name is Thomas Wayne." Thomas said
"Good." Jeremiah said
Jeremiah then turned his attention to the other patient.
"How about you miss who are you?" Jeremiah asked
"My name is Martha Wayne." Martha said
"Excellent." Jeremiah said
Jeremiah then looked at Jervis.
"You've done well Jervis this may be your finest work ever." Jeremiah said
"Thank you Jeremiah and I promise you that these puppets will not disappoint you for the little family reunion party your throwing for Bruce and Selina." Jervis said
"It's all part of the plan." Jeremiah said
