Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)

Chapter 18

Gotham city (Day 93)

An hour had passed since the Edward Nygma AKA Riddler escaped from Jim Gordon and Eduardo Dorrance. However, things were not going so well for the Riddler due to the fact that everyone in the city is now aware that he is responsible for the destruction of Haven. The word had spread out fast and now all of the citizens of Gotham are hunting down the Riddler.

The GCPD

Captain Gordon and Eduardo were in his office looking over the map of Gotham city and pin-pointing the possible areas that Ed could be hiding. While this was going on Eduardo received a message on his radio communicator.

"Big zero one to Big zero two." A voice on the other end said

"What's your status angel?" Eduardo asked in response

"We've cleared out 13th to 36th street West Broadway, but we'll keep pursuing up street." said the man as he finished his sentence.

"Report back as soon as you find anything linking the whereabouts of Nygma." Eduardo replied

"Yes sir." The man answered before signing out.

Jim who was listening to the whole thing had this to say.

"That's progress, but still no Nygma." Jim said

"Don't worry Jim my boys will sweep him up by night fall. Now tell me about this Scarecrow." Eduardo said

"He has chemical weapons so your men will need gas masks and taking him down might be a big win." Jim explained

"That's why we're here." Eduardo replied

Gotham City Hall

Oswald Cobblepot AKA the Penguin had just finished making a weapons deal with a gang of criminals with selling two hundred bullets for their guns. During that moment one of Penguin's servants entered his office and handed him a note with information. As Oswald read the note, he became shocked of what he just found out.

"Edward Nygma is the monster responsible for the death of all the innocent people at Haven." Penguin said out loud to himself with his henchmen still in the room.

Oswald crumpled up the piece of paper and gritted his teeth with mixed feelings of anger and worriedness.

"Ed what have you done?" Oswald asked to himself even though no one could answer that question for him.

Meanwhile

Ed had no idea where he was when he first woke up. All he remembers is that someone knocked him unconscious when he was trying to hide from the angry mob chasing him through Gotham. As Nygma examined his surroundings he noticed that he was duct taped to a beach chair and there were two electrical cords strapped to the chair as well. Ed then saw what looked like to be three or four car batteries all hooked together with these electrical cords. All of these things were connected to an old car.

"Time to wake up buster." A random voice said

Ed lifted his head up and saw that his captors were a middle-aged blonde lady and two young men.

"Where am I." Ed asked

"Shut up you little pip squeak, it's time for your execution."

Without any warning one of the young men got into the car and started up the engine. This caused Ed to get hit with electricity and it made him scream in agony.

"That was just a taste of what is yet to come. It only makes sense that you die slow and painfully after what you did to Mojo." the lady said

"Who is Mojo?" Ed asked

The lady then shows him a picture of Mojo and it turns out to be a dog.

"Are you kidding me, 300 people died, and you're only upset about a dead dog." Ed said

This made the lady angry as she felt insulted by what Ed said to her.

"We don't care about people, we only care about Mojo. He was a good little dog who always smiled until you killed him." the Lady said

"I've got news for you lady, dogs can't smile." Ed replied

It was in that moment the lady had enough of Ed mocking her dead dog, so she ordered her sons to start up the car again and electrocute him some more. As Ed was being tortured by the electricity, he started seeing flashes of memories in his head. It showed Oswald saying something to him.

"Don't worry Ed I'll have you fixed up in no time." Oswald said

The flashing memories ended after that and now Ed knew the truth. He wasn't going crazy after all, Oswald did something to his mind, which made him kill all of those people at Haven. The only question he could think of was why did Oswald do this to him?

As Ed was continued to be electrocuted suddenly it stopped when the car shut down.

"Did I say you could stop." the lady said

"I'm sorry ma, but the engine won't start." one boy operating the car said

"Yeah can't we just beat the guy instead?" the other boy asked

Nygma noticed that the electrical wires connected to the car were burned out, which gave him an idea.

"Yes, please anything, but electricity. Good thing that the fuel lines are clogged." Ed said

The lady looked at him and smiled evilly.

"Unclog it boys." the lady said to her sons

The two boys did exactly as she said and after that they tried to re-start the car engine again. What they don't realize is that the fuel line is leaking, which is what Ed wanted. As the car engine started the electrical wires made little sparks that caused the fuel to ignite on fire. The fire spread to the inside of the car and caught on to the driver's pants. He jumped of the car and started to stop drop and roll. The other boy and the lady tried to help him. This gave Ed the opportunity to get up and start running away from his captors. Even though he was still duct taped to the chair he was able to escape.

"It's time to find out what Oswald did to me." Ed said to himself
