Gotham: Twisted Together (Season 4 Revision)

Burn

Eliza went back to the Falcone Mansion then walked in. "Who goes there?!" Oswald hollered. Eliza slowly walked into the room. "Eliza! Oh my...where have you been?!" He asked and began to hobble towards her. "Oh hey. The wild cat returned." Grundy said. Oswald embraced her. She didn't really hug him back then made him let go and approached an Asian doctor in the room. Seeing Grundy hooked to white barrels and three people with tape over their mouths and blood being taken from them, rose a suspicion in her. She took the gun from the back of her pants and gripped the doctor's coat in a fist and pressed the barrel to his chin. "NO!!" Oswald shouted. "What's she doing?!" Grundy asked, frightened. "We need him! He's making him better!" Oswald said. She looked to Grundy. "Is that true?" She asked. "Yes!" Grundy responded. She let go of the doctor then put the gun away. "What...is WRONG with you?!" Oswald asked her as he hobbled over. "I just saw all this. Got suspicious." She said. "Well, we're fixing him." Oswald replied. She gave a nod. "Hey." He said to her. She looked to him. "Come back to me. Pussycat. Whoever told you something else, did something to change you somehow, don't...listen to that. You're mine. And I know I'm yours." He said. "What do you mean by fix him?" She asked. "Oh! He didn't always look like this." Oswald said. "Tabby is taking too long. Can you find out if she's okay?" Grundy asked. "If...you...trust being left with the doctor." Oswald told him. Eliza looked to the doctor. "You kill him, I'll kill you." She simply stated to him. "He will be living like he once was. And will be my most magnificent creation." He responded. "I knew he was weird." Eliza said and headed out ahead of Oswald. "Tabitha hangs out with Barbara. We'll check there first." Oswald told her.

She drove the car to Barbara's Sirens place. Oswald got out then looked to Eliza. "Open the trunk. Hand me what's inside." He said. She opened the trunk and seen a large gun. She took it out and gave it to him then shut the trunk. "Let's go." He told her and headed in. She followed. Hobbling inside, Barbara, Tabitha and Bruce's butler were talking. About who they get to kill. Oswald walked in and rested the gun on his shoulder. "Only one problem." He said. "Who do I get to kill?" He asked. The three of them looked at him. "Well. Don't we make the little gang?" Barbara said, then began to leave. Oswald, Tabitha, Eliza and Alfred all followed. Barbara got into a car with Tabitha and Alfred. Oswald was in the backseat of his own car as Eliza drove. She followed Barbara to a building and they each parked then got out and headed inside, preparing for the battle. "I'll need everybody to hide. And stay silent. Until you know not to be." She commanded. Eliza looked to Oswald. He nodded. She walked to by a pillar and hid behind it. Alfred hid beside her as it was wide enough. "Master Bruce has spoken about you. I think." He said quietly. She looked to him. "The woman who follows the bad ones." He said. "Eliza." She introduced, without a handshake. "Alfred." He said. "You know, if you'd like there is..." He continued but was cut off from her. "We have to watch our cue. If you don't mind." She said and watched and listened. "We can save you." He told her. Her eyes looked to her peripheral then she paid attention. Barbara spoke to some guy and he claimed her to be outnumbered. "Oh,how you're mistaken." She said. Everyone came out of hiding and a small war began. Everyone was fighting someone. Eliza made her way to Bruce Wayne as Alfred was fighting someone. Jeremiah had Bruce Wayne and kept a knife to his throat. "Don't come any closer or his blood will be all over you!" Jeremiah yelled to her. "You're not gonna do that." She said as she walked closer. "Please!" Bruce pleaded. She stood in front of him. "Oh. You test me. I like that." Jeremiah said. She grabbed his knife and pulled it back then sent Bruce away. She and Jeremiah began to fight. "You don't know who you're messing with, lady!" Jeremiah said. He drove the blade into her side and she yelled. "No!!" Bruce cried out. Jeremiah took the knife out of her then she kicked him backwards and he rolled, sitting up on his knees. Then Tabitha had him. Eliza placed her hand over the wound and leaned against a pillar. Bruce hurried to her, wrists still bound. "You're gonna be okay. You hear me? You're gonna live." He assured her. Barbara hurried to him and grabbed his wrists. "Nevermind her! Come with me!" She said and pulled him away.

"What are you doing?!" Bruce asked her. Bruce and Barbara drove a knife into the man and Barbara stepped back. Looking proud. Eliza slid down the pillar and sat on the floor. The man was beginning to burn. Like red hot veins crawling all through him. Oswald dropped his gun and got down on one knee beside Eliza. "Oh my....oh! You're gonna be okay. I'll get the doctor to stitch you up and you'll be right as rain!" He told her. She looked to him. "I'm sorry Oswald." She said. "For what? You did nothing wrong." He said to her. She looked away from him and her head dropped. "Eliza?!" He questioned. "Eliza!" He cried out. "Alfred." Bruce said and gestured to her. Alfred hurried to her and got on one knee on the other side of her. "Don't you touch her!" Oswald yelled at him. "Easy chap. Just checking her vitals." He said. He felt her neck. "She still has a pulse. We'll take her to the hospital. We're about to head there anyway." He said. Oswald looked perturbed. "Alright. Fine. I'll make sure this scumbag gets arrested! For stabbing her!" Oswald yelled. Alfred went to the other side of her as Oswald stood. He picked her up in his arms and Tabitha unbound Bruce Wayne. He caught up to Alfred. They began to leave the building. Bruce kept looking back from time to time. "Master Wayne, why do you keep looking over your shoulder?" Alfred asked. "Alright. We're out of sight and earshot. Well played." Bruce said. Eliza opened her eyes. "Damn. You're good." She told him. "What in the bloody hell? I thought you actually fainted." Alfred said. Bruce opened the door and Alfred walked out with her. "You can put me down now." She said. "That I could, but you still need medical attention." He told her. Bruce opened the back door to the car then Alfred helped her in. They got in after and began to rush to the hospital. Bruce looked back to her. "We still haven't officially met." He told her. "My name is Eliza. And I know yours." She said. "Of course. Everybody knows my name." He said. Alfred parked at the hospital and they got out. Alfred told a couple paramedics that there's a woman in need of help. Bruce helped her out of the backseat. The paramedics took Eliza. "I told you!" Bruce said. She smiled a bit as she was helped inside. She was taken to a room and a doctor began to freeze the wound. She looked to the entrance, instead of watching the doctor do work. A man went walking by. One of Sofia's goons. He looked in the room by chance then walked on. She looked to the doctor. "Stitch me up. And do it fast." She said. "You're bleeding a lot. It's making it a bit difficult to see. It will take a bit of time." He said. She reached to behind herself. "Please don't move." The doctor said as he was stitching her. She took her gun out and aimed it at him. "Stitch me. Quickly." She repeated. "I'm doing the best that I can." He said. Victor Zsasz turned into the entryway and leaned on it. She aimed her gun at him. "Whoa. Easy pussycat. I just got word that you're in here. Now how...did that happen?" He asked. She dropped her arm to her side. "That's what I thought." He said and pushed off the entry then began to step in, closer. "Who did this to you?" He asked. "Jeremiah Valeska." She said. "Valeska? I thought it was Jerome." He said. "His twin." She told him. "Man. I gotta get out more. Looks like you have. Holding a police gun. Where did you get that?" He asked. "I've been around. Zsasz." She said. "Don't act like you care about me." She added. He made an expression as if to say 'fair enough'. "I'll just get the bandages on now." The doctor told her. He bandaged her side and taped it. "The stitches will have to come out in three weeks. And you may want to take some painkillers in the meantime,I ask you to not overdose." He told her then left the room. Victor watched him leave then looked to Eliza. She sat up and gently got out of the hospital bed. "What are you doing? Why are you walking?" He asked her. "I've felt worse." She told him and looked him in the eyes then began to leave. She tucked the gun back in her pants and headed out. "Where are you gonna go?" He asked her. "I don't know." She told him. "Oswald abandoned you?" He asked. "No. I left him." She told him. "You made the right choice. Why not stay with me?" He asked her. He stood by Sofia's room. She looked to him. "I'll never stay with you and that bitch." She replied. She walked out, holding her side but with pride. After making her way to a place, she knocked on the door. Looking around for if anybody was watching, she looked ahead as the door opened. "I need help." She said.
