Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)
Chapter 17
Gotham city (Day 93)
The GCPD
Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle were in the medical room talking with Lucius Fox about upgrading their vigilante suits. The two of them were showing him some drawings of how they want their outfits changed.
"What do you think?" Bruce asked
"It's very impressive, you and Selina really put a lot of detail into the design." Lucius said
"Do you think you'll be able to put it together?" Selina asked
"Nothing I can't handle, but it may take some time for me to get these new vigilante suits made." Lucius said
"We understand." Bruce said
"Just one question, what do you two plan on calling yourselves when wearing these new outfits?" Lucius asked with a curious look on his face.
"Batman and Catwoman." Selina said
"Now those sound like cool superhero names." Lucius said
"Yes, they do." Bruce said
"I'll make sure I start working these vigilante suits as soon as possible." Lucius said.
"Thank you." Selina said
"You're welcome." Lucius said
Meanwhile
Jim Gordon and Eduardo Dorrance tracked down Edward Nygma AKA the Riddler to his secret hideout. The two men entered the abandoned house and used caution, because they believed the place might be booby trapped. They make their way to the living room and finally came face to face with the Riddler. The two men drew their guns and pointed them at the Riddler.
"Freeze, put your hands behind your head." Jim said
The Riddler turned around and saw the two men aiming their guns at him.
"Captain Gordon what the hell are you doing here?" Riddler asked with a scared look on his face.
"You know damn well why we're here Nygma." Eduardo said
"Why did you blow up Haven with an RPG?" Jim asked
This made the Riddler so confused, because he had no idea what Jim was talking about.
"What….what are you talking about I didn't blow up Haven." Riddler said
"Don't play games with us Ed we have proof that you bought the RPG from the weapons dealer and the evidence from the crime scene matches the same one used to destroy Haven." Jim said
"No, I swear I would never kill a bunch of innocent people." Riddler said
"You're the Riddler you've killed people before so why should we believe you." Jim said
"I say we take him down while we still have the chance Jim." Eduardo said to his partner.
This caused Riddler to panic as he begged the two men not to kill him.
"Please don't kill me I'm begging you." Riddler said
"You should've thought of that before killing all of those people at Haven." Eduardo said
In that same moment Eduardo started walking towards Riddler, but before he could shoot him something made a clicking sound. Jim realized what happened as he noticed that Eduardo accidentally stepped on one of the square floorboards. This made Riddler chuckle as it was all part of his plan.
"Looks like you fell for my trap. This whole area of the floor is rigged with land mines underneath and will blow if you take your foot off of it." Riddler explained with an evil smirk on his face.
Jim knew this wasn't good so he knew that he'll have to play Riddler's game in order to save Eduardo.
"Tell me how to deactivate the land mines Ed." Jim said
"Oh of course all you have to do is simply press the off button on this remote, that is if you can reach it on the book shelf without stepping on any of the squares on the floorboards." Riddler said as he showed the remote and placed it on the book shelf behind him.
Jim had think this through if he was going to deactivate the land mines and save Eduardo.
"Well I love to stay and chat, but I have to go so see you later." Riddler said as he escaped through a secret exit door that was right next to the book shelf.
Eduardo then turned his head and looked at his partner. Eduardo made sure he didn't move his foot off the rigged land mine underneath the square floorboard.
"What now Jim?" Eduardo asked
"I got an idea." Jim said as he looked at a chair next to a piano.
Jim then stands on the chair and gets up on the piano. He then jumps to the other side of the room without touching the square floorboards. Jim then grabs the remote from the book shelf and presses the off button, thus deactivating the land mines.
"Thank god." Eduardo said as he removed his foot off the square floorboard.
"You alright." Jim asked
"Yeah I'm fine." Eduardo said
"What now?" Jim asked
"Well we need to get the word out that Riddler is the "Haven bomber" and hopefully somebody in Gotham will provide us information on where he's going." Eduardo said
"Alright." Jim said
