It's all in the name.


The drive to Fish's bar is a quiet one, with Bullock not wanting to talk with Mist in the car and Mist was happy with the silence, gave her chance to think on recent events.

Was it just her, or were the crimes in Gotham a little… strange?

She'd heard about the problem with these two weirdos grabbing street kids while using TCP, then there was a 'Balloon man', next another assassin with a metal spike as a weapon and they had recently just had Viper.

What the hell was wrong with this city?

Gordon steps out and opens the door for her and it surprises Mist, she was so lost in her own thoughts, but she quickly reverts back to her normal self and follows him and Bullock to the bar door.

When they walk in, she see's Fish sitting next to the bar with a big man next to her, a smirk on his face.

"Fish," Bullock says with a smile and two embrace with a quick kiss on the cheek passed before she turns to Gordon and nods.

"Detective and what did I do to get this surprise?" she asked, smiling charmingly.

"Well, we were wondering if you'd heard anything on the street recently, about somebody wanting certain members of your gang dead?"

Fish frowned. "I can't say that I have. Why?"

"Seems one of your men was killed by an assassin, name of Sphinx," Gordon interjected.

At this Fish laughed. "Oh, you've been reading too many fairy tails, Detective. The Sphinx is a legend, she's not real."

"She is and she's in Gotham," Gordon growled.

Fish raised an eyebrow before her eyes casted over to Mist. "Oh and who is this?"

"Special Agent Mist Terry of the FBI. Here to investigate the Sphinx crime," Mist said bluntly.

Fish smirked. "So you boys have a little lady following you around? Good, you two always needed a woman's touch to your team."

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm much of one, I probably have more guts then most men," Mist said smirking.

Fish smiled. "Oh, she's feisty, I like her, she's one to keep you two."

"The best compliment I've ever gotten off a member of the mob."

"I could image what some of the lesser ones would call you."

"The last one I met seemed to believe that a woman wasn't much of a danger, but in my experience, it's the women who are the most dangerous."

Fish clicked her tongue. "And you'd be right."

"I thought I would be," Mist smirked. "So tell me, what did Lazlo do wrong?"

"Lazlo?" Fish tilted her head to the side and thought for a bit. "Hmm… Butch have you seen Lazlo around?"

"Can't say that I have, Fish."

"Hmmm… I only assumed he was sick… tell me, is he okay?"

"He's dead," Gordon stated. "Wondering if you knew anything about it."

Fish shook her head. "No… I simply assumed, in fact I think we all assumed that Lazlo was simply ill."

"Well, he certainly isn't well," Mist stated bluntly.

Fish smiled and tilted her head to side. "Hmm… I suppose he isn't is he?"

"But you don't know anything about his death, at all?" questioned Jim.

Fish turned to him and smiled once more. "Believe me Detective, if I did I would tell you. Lazlo was one of my favourites. I hope you catch his killer."

"Medical examination shows he got beaten up pretty bad. Do you know anything about that?"

"Beaten? Hmm… I can't say that I do… Butch, do you know anything about poor little Lazlo getting beaten?"

Butch frowned and shook his head. "No, Fish. Can't say that I do."

"Oh, well as you can see neither me or my employes know anything about his death."

"None what so ever?" Gordon stated.

"None," Fish hissed, giving Gordon a glare.

"We'll keep in touch, Fish," said Bullock as he placed his hat back on. "You just keep your shutters closed and watch out."

"We'll be extra careful."

Bullock nodded before walking out of the bar with Gordon and Mist following.

"Agent Terry," Fish called, making Mist stop and turn to her. Fish smirked. "Welcome to Gotham, I hope you enjoy it."

Mist smirked back. "Hasn't disappointed me yet."

Then she nodded her goodbye before following Gordon and Bullock.


She walked back into the GCPD, Bullock gave her a glare and then continued walking.

"Say, boy scout, come up here and help me sign this will ya?"

Gordon sighed before nodding at Mist and wondering over.

Mist stood there before walking past everyone towards evidence and examination, a smirk on her face.

Oh if only they knew.

She walked right past the records room and headed towards the main forensic department.

She stopped outside the door when she heard giggling.

She knew that giggle.

Slowly she opened the door and there was Edward with Enigma sitting on the bench next to him, giggling her little heart out as he made little explosions with some of the chemicals they had.

"How long will the DNA test take, Edward?" she questioned while she swung her legs on the edge of the table.

"It'll be done in a few moments, in the mean time do you want to see a purple flame?" Edward questioned, grinning as he set up a bunsen.

Enigma grinned and clapped her hands. "Oh yes, yes please!"

"Alright then," he sorted through the chemicals he had when Mist spoke up.

"Having fun?"

He yelped and span around with Enigma smiling and waving at her.

"Hello Mummy!"

"Mist?!"

"Hellos sweety, what's Edward showing you?" Mist questioned, walking over to her young daughter and Edward.

"He's showing me purple flames mummy!" Enigma squealed.

"Is he? Well, I'm afraid we have to leave now, okay?"

Enigma frowned. "Okay. Bye, bye Edward."

Edward waved as the little girl jumped off the table and walked through the door.

"Who's DNA where you running?"

"Oh? Enigma's."

Mist paled. "W- what?" she spluttered.

Edward shrugged. "She wanted to know who her father was, so I suggested a DNA test and- Mist?" Edward had only had his back turned for a few minutes and then Mist wasn't there anymore.

Suddenly he heard a small beeping from the DNA test and he quickly printed the sheet off.

He didn't understand why Mist was acting so odd… it was only a DNA test there was nothing to be-

His mind stopped as he read the results and then he understood everything.

He didn't know how he did it, but he raced out of the forensic lab and ran to the main office of the GCPD.

Edward ran down the steps, almost tripping over his own feet, he'd realised that he'd picked the test sheet up on the way out and it was tightly gripped in his hand.

It had to be a mistake, that was the only logical explanation, but just to make sure- where was she?!

"Ed, you okay?" asked Gordon frowning at the forensic scientist flustered face.

Edward glanced at Gordon with a deer in the headlight look to his face. "Pardon, sorry?"

"Are you okay? You look a little… flustered."

Edward blinked like the information hadn't fully sunken in before shaking his head. "What sorry, yes, yes I'm fine thank you, it's just… umm… do you know where Mist is?"

Gordon shook his head. "I think she's gone home, she needs to look after her daughter, why what's the problem?"

"Oh, there's no problem, no problem at all I just… need to speak with her, it's urgent."

Bullock came over and glared at the forensic scientist. "Say do you want to know what else is urgent? Capturing Sphinx. Get to work Nygma or else the case will be handed over to the MCU and that's the last thing I want."

"I… yes sorry umm…" Edward stuttered as he went to leave.

"Ed, what's on the sheet?" asked Gordon, eyeing it.

Edward flinched before going a little red and backing away from him a little. "It's… it's nothing, Detective, I can assure you."

Gordon raised an eyebrow and Bullock came storming over to him. "It sure as hell looks like something, give it here."

"It's nothing," Edward mumbled, gripping the sheet in his hand.

Gordon frowned at him. "You sure you're okay, Ed?"

Edward smiled at him. "I'm perfectly fine Detective."

Suddenly Bullock snatched the sheet out of Edward's hands and walked away from him while look at the it and his eyes widened.

Edward's own eyes had widened considerably behind his glasses.

"You have got to be kidding me?" Bullock said in disbelieve as he stared at the lanky forensic scientist. "How the hell did that even happen to someone like you, in fact, who the hell would want to do that with someone like you?"

"Bullock!" shouted Gordon as he gave his partner a glare. "What are you going on about-?"

Bullock shoved the sheet in Gordon's face, still staring at Edward in shock.

Gordon read the file and he looked over at Edward with a shocked and confused expression.

They had every right to.

"Like I said," Edward muttered. "I need to talk with Mist," At least he knew what the 'N' in Enigma's name stood for now.

Gordon's eyes drifted back to the paper and he read the words.

Name: Terry, Enigma.

Mother: Terry, Mist.

Father: Nygma, Edward.
