The True Queen of Gotham

The meeting of three

(Rocket POV)

For the last couple of days, I've been going over the letters Francis gave me, most of them were about revenge. Of course I was going to get it for them. One letter made me smile, it was from a 3 year old girl whose doll got stolen by a bigger kid

Her writing was terrible and her spelling was worse, but it was so cute. She even drew pictures on the letter, and I was gonna frame it and hang it on my wall

I looked over to the recliner and smiled as my eyes fell on the doll now in my possession

I tracked down the girl that had stolen it, and was quite sad from what I found. Single income home. No heat. No power, barely any food. The mother was struggling to provide for her 6 kids after her husband left her with nothing, but she was trying

The little girls name was Amanda, she was 5 and just wanted a toy of her own

I wasn't gonna kill anybody over a doll, so I offered the girl money and another toy, in exchange. She reluctantly agreed, no doubt understanding the situation her family was in

What she didn't realise was I had just given her 10 million bucks cash, with a note explaining what had happened

I kept an eye on the family, and was very happy that the mother was now in the process of buying a nice house, in a good neighbourhood

For now I was reading a letter from a man named Harry Colton

His family is one of the richest in the city, however, he had turned his back on his family to marry for love

I researched about the Coltons, to find that everything they did was a business transaction orchestrated by his father. Even having kids was signed by a contract. But there was something interesting that I found also, something Harry's father was hiding from the family

Harry was a simple guy who owned his own mechanics shop. He had very little money, but he was happy

Unfortunately, someone kidnapped his wife and two kids. They must've seen his last name and presumably thought they could get money. They were asking for 100 million bucks

He went to the cops, but from the emails I've been reading between certain officers and Harry's father, they're hoping that the wife and children die, so Harry will come back to the family, and do as told

Harrys wife and children were taken while they were out shopping for a birthday present for him, so I've hacked into the security feed of the shopping centre, hoping to get a glimpse of the kidnappers

In the letter, they were taken 4 days ago, and Harry only has one more day to pay

As I'm watching the feed, I see Donna, the wife, and her twin daughters, Tina and Arina, walk out of the building laughing, then I see Tina quickly walk towards a woman struggling with her bags

There's a brief interaction between the two, before Donna and Arina join them

They take the bags from the woman, then follow her off camera

They don't return

Searching for more cameras in the area, I find one and rewind. When they reach a black van, the woman is distracting them by tripping and falling. Donna quickly helps her up, but as their attention is on the woman, they don't see the two men getting out of the van behind them
