"Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man."

Devland walking into her ‘company kitchen’ isn’t anything new, but it still catches her off guard. For a while, she felt like she was the only human left on earth. 

“Good Morning Jade.”

“Good Morning Devland." 

Jade wonders how she’s been able to keep this office so secretive. How have the police not caught her yet? Maybe they just don’t care. Devland hands her a cup of coffee, like she always does. She wonders what would happen if they did find out. Would she be able to keep control like she always thought she could? It doesn’t feel like she controls anything anymore, not even her own body.

She sips a bit at the coffee. Parsnip. 

”…Is this poisoned with hemlock?“

Devland doesn’t move an inch. She doesn’t respond for a second either. 

"Perhaps.” She says. Knows it’d be worse to play Jade for a fool if she had already been found out. She’s always been smart like that. 

Jade sighs softly, staring at the coffee made exactly to her preference. Its kinder than what she herself would have planned. She downs the rest of the cup before leaving it pointedly near the sink. 

“I get it. Newtown’s first law. An object in motion will stay in motion unless stopped. Better to shoot the racehorse while it’s down then let it fuck up the bets." 

Devland still says nothing. Jade can feel her limbs start shaking. She thinks she’s done this to someone else, a lifetime ago. It feels like she’s lived so long. 

"I won’t lie and say I’m not scared but, you know there is a certain inevitability about all of this. I didn’t think I would survive the week anyways." 

Devland still wont say anything to her. Jade wishes she’d at least scream, or laugh, or cry. Instead she just pins her with that soft disappointed face she always wears around Jade.

"I’m only doing whats best for you dear." 

Jade smiles. It feels like a grimace. "Thats what I said, didn’t I?”

Her knees buckle and she falls to kitchen floor. Despite knowing she’s about to lose it, her life isn’t flashing before her like a movie montage. This is it. The last moments she’ll ever breath, and all she can think is how she never got the chance to clean the grout out of her office cafeteria.

“Can you do me a favor?” Its hard to talk now, her mouths full of saliva and her stomach hurts like a bitch. “Can you— ow fuck— Can you give the bears over to someone? Don’t really want em starving to death” She feels her legs freeze up and leans to lay on her side. 

Devland doesn’t answer, just stares at her some more and god fucking damnit, Jade can’t tell if she’s crying from frustration or pain. She opens her mouth to demand answers and finds she can’t speak. Hearts beating so fast. She’s going to die. She’s going to die. She’s going to die.

Devland kneels down and isn’t that fucking kind. Jade can’t speak or move and she’s in so much fucking pain she doesn’t feel real anymore and Devlands stroking her hair. Isn’t that kind. Isn’t that fucking fitting.

She stifles her sobs. God death is terrifying. She wonders if this is how Sam felt, all alone in the streets of the narrows. Did they cry? Did they have someone to hold them? At least Jade has the mercy of company. Unlike poor Sam, body young and fragile and cold, bleeding out on the ground, gun shot to head. Alone, alone. Everyone who was meant to protect them useless. She wonders if the streets set fire around them.

“It’s alright little one, I’ve got you.” Dev sounds just like her uncle in that moment. She’s so scared. She misses her mom so badly. Her mom is dead. At least the bullet was fast. She just wants it to end already. She wishes she could have hugged them all more. She wishes she could have apologized to Yvette for whatever she’d done. She wishes she could have done so many things. She might be convulsing, she can’t tell. It’s probably humiliating. Fitting. Fitting.

She feels her mind shutting down, and sleep, for once, is a blessing.

The family estate is as sprawling as she remembers it to be. The mansion is tall as hell, and the italian detailing is almost obscene. The most striking part of the whole place, however, had to be the lawn. Unlike most villas, the lawns were covered in gardens and vegetation, with hellenistic statues peppered in to remind the neighbors who they're living with.

She remembers when the lawns were all boring plain grass, and she sat next to her uncle with an ice cream cone in hand. "Uncle Carmine, you should fill all of this space with plants!" "Oh yeah?" He'd said, voices lilted and indulgent, as if he were human. "Yeah! Its all boring right now, but if you added plants, it'd look real pretty! Plus there'd be more places to hide during hide and go seek." Jade had broken out into a mischievous grin. "hmm—" he'd ruffled her hair and stood up— "perhaps I will little bug, perhaps I will."

"Never thought I'd be back in Bristol." The whole place was magnificent even with the wear and tear. Uncle Rick stuck out like a sore thumb.

"Neither did I." Rick barely glanced at her, eyes half lidded and cigarette nearly a butt. He looked half-wasted. "It's 3 am Jade." Jade only hummed.

"I 'member, Uncle Carmine used to take me on tours all the time. He'd even let me peek in on the Wayne Estate once and awhile."

"Carmine liked you better than his own kids."

"Not my problem they were too psychopathic to be good children."

"Yeah well, to them it was. When he left you as the inheritor to the Falcone name, Mario and Sofia were pissed out of their damn minds. 'Course, they both died pretty young so, he was right anyways."

"Seems pretty contradictory to will your business to the niece you killed." Rick gave a laugh that practically screamed 'I know more than you'.

"He always thought you were still alive. Said he could feel it in his soul. He was the first one to be convinced you were Jaguar."

Jade hummed. Now was not the time for past information.

"Well, might as well cash that check in now."

"Are you saying what I—"

Jade cocked and pointed her gun before Rick could try anything more. "Yeah."

"You gave Gotham over to me. I'm the one who's supposed to be looking over it."

"And you've done a pisspoor job at it. The gangs are all uneven, crimes gone up immensely, and black mask's vying for the top spot."

"You handed it over."

"Yeah and now I'm taking it back."

"You're not even his kid."

"Yeah and you're just an in-law."

"And this has nothing to do with that recent mortuary report on your friend?"

"None of your fucking business."

Tense silence reigned for a few minutes.

"....I'll call the leaders and let you know you've reclaimed."

Jade retracted her gun back to her suit pocket. "Nice. I'll get you somewhere else to stay."

"I appreciate it."

"Mhm. Now get out of my house."

Rick scowled and swayed his way back up into standing position. "Fuck you Falcone."

"Fuck you too Viti."
