The True Queen of Gotham

First of many favours

(Rocket POV)

'It was a gruesome sight today, as bodies were removed from the abandoned Blue Steel factory, in the Old industrial area of Civic City. The police have not yet formally made a statement, but from witness accounts, it was a place of a massacre. One of Gothams most notorious villians, Bane, was amongst the dead, executed. Is there are new Hero? With Bane, and many other villians constantly escaping from prison over the years, do we finally have a hero who is willing to pull the trigger? Or was this the work of another villian? Are they killing off other villians to take their place in the ranks? We can only wait and see if more bodies show up'

I smirked at the screen as police officers are running around the area, no doubt looking for clues. It's been 2 days since it all went down, Connor is a really cool kid, smart and sassy. Dinah did a great job raising him on her own

He's currently asleep at the moment as it's 4am in the morning and I had a little trouble getting any shut eye. My thoughts keep running around as to who 'He' might be. My first thought did go to Joker, with him and his obsession with chemicals it was viable, but he'd never work with Bane, and Bane would never work for him

I've been searching files that have a connection with Bane and his henchmen. There has been absolutely no communication between them and somebody they don't usually talk to....nothing

There was a conversation thread between Bane and The Penguin, but it mainly dealt with a favour Bane owed him

My frustration is getting the better of me. I've become so irritated that I can't find any information that I need, that I've become an eater

I'm hungry....I eat

I'm tired....I eat

I find a lead....I eat

I hit a dead-end....I eat a shit load

Today however, I'm apparently busy. Francis said she needed to show me something so I'm just waiting until she arrives

She sounded pretty pissed off, so no doubt it's gonna end up in someone dying

To distract myself, I decide to look online for a new car. There has been no alert about the failed robbery, but I don't want to chance fate

I saw a few priced well above market value, and a few that shouldn't even be on the road. Looking for something simple, and clean, becomes harder and harder as the more I type

I did end up finding a nice little Toyota being sold by an old woman. According to her ad, she can no longer drive anymore due to her failing eyesight. The car has had one owner and no accidents. Considering the traffic in Gotham, that's a very tall feet

When I hear my bedroom door open, and shuffling of little feet, I stand up and find a tired little boy in my hallway

"You okay buddy?" I asked Connor softly

"Bad dream" He whimpered

I quickly walk up to him and pick him up. He snuggles onto my shoulder, holding the teddy bear I brought him yesterday. I realised quickly that I had absolutely nothing in my apartment to accommodate a kid, so Connor and I went on a shopping spree. I bought him everything he wanted. So now every room in the place has some toys and little clothes scattered around them
