The True Queen of Gotham

The Long way home

(Rocket POV)

"He's my best friend" The little boy whimpered "I just want him home"

Currently, I'm in a small but beautiful home of the Winston family. The little boy wrote me a letter, asking me to get his dog back. In the letter were several photos of the dog, but the one that made my heart clinch, was where the pit bull was snuggled up to the boy as he slept

I'm riding solo today, as my Queens are answering letters themselves

Harley is dealing with an abusive neighbour of a young family. The man yells curses at them, has music playing at all hours of the night and has thrown beer bottles at their house. The young couple can't even let their kids play in the yard, with fear he might hurt them

Not sure how she's gonna deal with it, but she did take her mallet, so no doubt there's gonna be blood

Ivy is dealing with a woman who feels the need to destroy an old man's patch in the community garden. He's had it for 30 years, but when the woman showed up, all his plants were cut and mulched into the ground. He asked why she did it, and she yelled at him to go back to where he came from

He's of Indian decent, but was born and raised in Gotham. He only wants to make the woman stop, however, Ivy will probably do a bit more than that 

"We went to the police, but they just said to get another dog" The Mum, Ophelia. sighed

When both parents found me sitting in their livingroom when they had come back from picking up their son from school, they weren't even scared, they knew why I was here

"I even went out on my own, trying to find any leads" The Ma, Vale, added "I put up flyers, knocked on doors. I even got the footage from our security camera and showed it to the police. They said they didn't have the manpower to deal with a stupid mutt"

"But Bubbles isn't stupid" Tony sniffled "He's a good boy"

"May I look at the footage?" I asked the butch, dark melanin woman. She gave me a nod and pulled out her phone. After a few minutes, she handed it to me, and there was a very clear shot of a white guy holding the dog "Do any of you know him?"

"No. We've never seen him before" Vale answers

"But I've seen the car before" Ophelia quickly says "It's been seen around the area a lot. Neither of us worried about it because we get a lot of cars looking at the area to buy houses and stuff" I see the guilt in her eyes and shake my head

"It's not your fault. These guys look like they do this for a living. No one would've seen it out of the ordinary" I click a few buttons on my glove and start my facial recognition software "It might take a-" Before I can continue, I get a hit. Frowning at how easy and quick that was, I open the file, only to huff angrily "Well I know who the guy is"

"How?" Vale frowned

"I have a special system in my eye" I answer vaguely "Your dog got taken by the mob"

"So that's it?" Ophelia sighs sadly

"Oh no" I smile, standing up "I'm getting back Bubbles"

"But it's the mob" Vale says quietly

"And I'm the Black Rose. You ladies have to understand something, there're 2 things I hate most in this world, animal abuse, and child abuse. If I find out either of those things are happening, I'll do anything to punish those responsible"
