Save me. Save me, cunty father and son who never acknowledge each other as such and get stoned together while casually running one of Gotham's most powerful crime empires and who may also beat the shit out of each other from time to time because they both suffer from anger issues and have a history of violence but they also care about each other in a terrible, horrible, dysfunctional way because they share a similar desperation for family that Gotham tore away from them both. Save me.

The life and death of one harvey Dent

[halfdent]

Twos  simply  rolls  their  eyes  ,  their  partially-sighted  one  more  highlighted  by  lack  of  lid  .  It  𝐖𝐀𝐒  his  job  to  watch  that  pretty  mouth  but  right  now  it's  grating  on  his  nerves  [  forgivable  as  it  will  be  later.  ]  he  sighs  .

The  more  this  relationship  has  flourished  the  more  Two-Face's  leniency  for  Leo  shows  .  No  one  else  mocking  them  in  such  a  tone  would  get  away  with  it  .

He  knows  well  enough  now  when  their  partner  is  being  genuine  &&  joins  him  ,  dropping  down  besides  him  .Harvey  had  tucked  away  after  their  altercation  .  He'll  be  back  ,  he  always  piped  up  eventually  .  They  are  both  alike  in  that  .  There  was  no  Harvey  without  Two-Face  &&  vice  versa  .

❝  Always  lookin'  down  his  nose  ❞   figuratively  .  ❝  the  usual  bullshit  .  ❞    It  as  no  secret  that  when  it  came  to  running  their  gang  ,  or  broader  than  that  ,  trying  to  change  this  city  ;  they  don't  agree  . 

❝   He  wants  to  gain  trust  of  Gotham's  underbelly  &&  spin  'em  so's  he  can  play  pretty  Barbies  &&  get  into  office  again  .  It's  not  gunna  happen  .  𝐖𝐄  𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘  𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐒  𝐀  𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄  ;  𝐓𝐖𝐎  𝐎𝐅  '𝐄𝐌  !  Things  ain't  ever  goin'  back  to  how  they  were  before  I  don't  get  him  ,  why  he  can't  jus'  look  in  the  mirror  &&  see  the  glass  is  all  shattered  .  ❞ 

❝ That’s your job~ ❞ He jokes teasingly, eyebrows lifting momentarily in support, the drink in hand almost emptied into his throat before he settles on the couch behind, dropping onto it carefully enough not to spill his drink. Their next toothless warning makes him almost grin, a theatrical shake of his head accompanying his words of feigned disapproval. ❝ Tsk, tsk. I knew you were kinky, but not to this level. ❞ Now the drink is finished, glass still in hand. ❝ We can discuss fisting, but I don’t think I’d be okay with- that! ❞ He gestures at their feet, humorously making a point. He loves teasing them, but when their next words hit, he knows enough is enough.

It almost saddens him, the grin on his face slowly turning into a smile before dissipating into nothingn, the glass in hand placed onto the coffee table before him. ❝ What did he do- or rather not do, now? ❞ His question is not a mockery, he is actually seeking the answer to it, and maybe there will be a solution, a peace to the WAR inside of their head, just maybe. He cares for them, the both of them; after all, they are merely different sides of the same coin, aren’t they? He has them whole.

[halfdent]

❝   You  know  I  didn't  mean  it  like  that  .  You've  always  been  here  for  us  .  Even  𝐇𝐈𝐌  .  Of  course  I  wish  you  visited  more  often  ,  even  if  I'm  not  always  ME  .  ❞   Bruce  was  more  understanding  than  anyone  that  it  had  not  been  Harvey  singularly  this  whole  time  .  He  often  wondered  how  long  Bruce / @vigilanthe  [ continued . ] had  known  ,  he  was  always  so  guarded  . 

❝   I  don't  .  ❞   He  sighs  in  his  own  truth  of  admission  .  ❞   Maybe  this  is  EXACTLY  where  I  should  be  ...  we  should  be  .  ❞   Harvey  averts  his  gaze  .

❝   Of  course  you  are  .  Bruce  Wayne  Gotham's  golden  darling  . ❞   He  takes  a  deep  breath  in  through  his  nose  ,  what  was  left  of  it  ,  ❝   It's  still  not  that  simple  without  someone  spinning  the  legalities  ,  sure  you  can  bribe  a  few  of  the  more  covetous  officials  but  no  one  I'd  trust  who'd  take  a  bribe  .  This  buildings  a  relic  .  It's  invaluable  to  this  city's  history  .  However  much  of  a  shithole  it  is  .  ❞ 

Two-Face  took  the  moment  to  interject  ,  whether  to  disparage  Harvey  or  he  wanted  to  to  talk  with  Bruce  too  [  maybe  both  ]  was  unclear  .

❝   Yeah  &&  you'd  bend  the  rules  too  if  it  wasn't  for  Brucie  fundin'  all  your  pretty  campaigns  !  ❞

❝  Yeah  ,  when  isn't  it  founded  on  a mountain of corpses  ?  Shot  in  an  alleyway  or  something  else  ;  the  states'  money  is  no  more  cleaner  than  ours  .  I  suppose  she  did  what  she  had  to . ❞   &&  refusing  money  from  the  boy[s]  she  had  rescued  was  a  show  of  faith  that  they  could  change  .  Or  she  just  didn't  want  to  accept  that  kind  of  money  from  them  .  Whatever  the  reason  .  Harvey  had  helped  her  out  of  all  legal  trouble  back  when  he  as  elected  into  office  .  It  wasn't  the  first  time  he  pulled  the  wool  over  the  public's  eyes  to  protect  a  friend  .

Stormy eyes cut over to him at his words, gaze lingering on his face. She barely recognized him. Sure, she’d seen his face around town back when he’d been prominent and trying to clean the city up, but things were different now. He was different. So was she.

Or maybe not. Time seemed to stop for her at some point when they were growing up.

Her gaze returned to the old building, time having not been kind to it. “The money she was getting from the state was blood money too…” she frowned. How many kids had come through that building that didn’t belong there? How many families were torn apart by corruption and vendettas instead of situations like theirs?

She remembered more than a few kids showing up with such stories. It didn’t matter anymore and she shook her head lightly in mild dismay; it was still sad to see how things had turned out for one of the only safe havens she’d had growing up.

“I don’t know why I came back… what I expected to find or… what I was looking for,” she admitted. It was easy being open with him, but it always had been. He’d been another of those bright spots in her life. She had so few of those, past and present.

Keep  your  enemies  closer  .  Even  so  .  Anyone  of  their  adversaries  had  a  tier  for  the  consideration  of  who  was  more  a  threat  .  Oswald  ,  yes  was  a  rival  mobster  &&  Two-Face  despises  the  bastard  .  There  was  still  higher  chance  to  have  a  drink  with  the  self-acclaimed  monarch  (  give  him  a  break  with  all  these  fancy  titles  first  clown  boy  fancies  himself  𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄  𝐎𝐅  𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐄  &&  now  this  )  than  there  was  say  Batman  .  Obviously  .

Burns  .  He  could  testify  for  the  severity  of  that  kind  of  pain  .

It's not often that Oswald finds himself behind the bar of the Iceberg Lounge, crafting fruity cocktails with pretty little umbrellas tucked betwixt the ice cubes. With a schedule such as his, it's often far too difficult to carve out time for luxury, let alone menial labor. It's not something he has to do either, not with a packed roster of employees (both above and below the table). Still, it's something that he feels compelled to do. A king who turns his back on his subjects is a fool digging his own grave.

Humble endeavors put him into contact with those perpetuating his system of symbiosis, those who serve him as he serves them. Speaking with the other in such a candid, personal way reminds him of this. He's giving information that could be used against him, sure, but there is a certain trust within distrust echoing through the upper echelon of Gotham's rogues. At least amongst those not too far gone, anyway.

"It was for my mother, ya know." Oswald hums as he refreshes the glass passed his way, sending it right back with one of his signature umbrellas.

"I could take my old man breaking my things, but hers? I can still remember the way she screamed when he stomped on that little finch's cage....You know, the only thing I regret is not making him hurt. The cold numbs you up, but he should'a fuckin' burned."
