He’s always been CONSIDERED a heavyweight when it comes to drinking but he could never quite surpass Bullock.  Tonight had been the only OPPORTUNITY to try another swing at it and Jim Gordon had a competitive FIRE in him that quickly jumped at the challenge.  He’d lost if his state of being wasn’t much of a hint. After MUCH stubborn refusal for Bullock’s help , he finally MAKES it into the apartment to find it empty.  He had texted Harvey to let him KNOW that he’d be out late with Bullock but it SEEMS like it’s a late one in the office for his hard working boyfriend.

He frustratingly UNDOES his tie at the neck ( why the hell was it so tight ? ) , jerking it off as he stumbled into the closet with a hand AGAINST the wall to steady himself.  Damn it , it’s so hot in here !! He quickly undoes the buttons to his shirt.  When he FINALLY gets it off , he grabs at a black dress shirt OFF the hanger and put its on , not thinking twice about how big it was on him.    He undoes his belt , zipper down but GIVES UP on getting out of his pants , swaying too much WHEN he tries to get his legs out ( it wasn’t this hard before ).  Unsteady steps make their way to the kitchen top COUNTER as he spreads down on top of it , enjoying the cool surface as he STARES up at the ceiling.

Harvey should be home soon.  Jim MISSES him —-  he stands up suddenly , swinging from one foot to the OTHER before he finally gets his footing.  It’s only then that the door opens , the familiar face elicits an unusually lop sided smirk from the DETECTIVE , mischief glints like ice when the light hits the surface just RIGHT.

                   “ ‘ey , Harv , ” Jim SLURS giddily from on top of the countertop. “ C’mere baby , ” he says with open arms , each word PUSHED out as if the detective’s tongue was trudging through THICK mud.

Harvey was PROBABLY a better man than Barbara made him out to be in her own mind, and she probably would have gotten along with him JUST FINE if it wasn’t for the unfortunate fact of JIM GORDON. when would that man stop causing daily annoyances in her life?  Today, was no different. It was a shame that he was the only DETECTIVE in the city that’d be SOMEWHAT cooperative with her ( even if it was rather reluctant ), which meant with any situation that Barbara needed handled, she’d turn to Jim.  Really, it wasn’t the END OF THE WORLD. Just any issue with the lease on her bar, and sure, Jim was in homicide and he wouldn’t DIRECTLY be able to help her with the situation, but he’d point her to someone who’d actually take the matter SERIOUSLY and then she wouldn’t HAVE to commit a homicide ;; it was a win-win.  However, upon first entering the GCPD there didn’t seem to be a sign of the MAN in question. Sighing, she realized what she’d have to do. ASK HARVEY--  --- BULLOCK.  Bullock was her first choice, and after a short lap around the space in the GCPD that she was allowed to wander without causing suspicion, she determined that he was also missing. GREAT.  Now, came the annoying part.  Finally - she had to pay a visit to her LEAST FAVOURITE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Harvey Dent. The current owner of Jim’s heart, and naturally, a thorn in her side. It wasn’t that she didn’t LOVE Tabitha ; she did. But Jim... She couldn’t explain all that Jim meant to her.  She raised her hand and gave a couple of short, sharp knocks, before she allowed herself in. 

“HARVEY.... Neither of us want to talk to each other, so I won’t be indulging in pleasantries.                               Where’s Jim?”

This night turned accidentally depressing.

I’m listening to THIS song and thinking of Nora and Victor. I can’t, guys. It breaks my heart ;~;

Harvey doesn’t like it when Dick asks too many questions about the cases he’s working. Or, at least, he THINKS he doesn’t like it. His brow furrows and his lips purse and there’s a moment of silence that stretches between the ask and the answer that Dick fills with A THOUSAND thoughts before one word is spoken. 

Ordinarily, Dick tries to REFRAIN. But THIS one has been ALL over the news, all over the papers. Everywhere he LOOKS, he SEES Harvey and this man. Everything he hears is Harvey and this man. He’s still not sure of what is going on, but he THINKS he understands. 

This man says he’s innocent. Harvey says he’s not. They’ve gone to court because Harvey speaks with a voice greater than his own when he wears his suits and ties and the shiny shoes that smell sharp. He speaks for so many people when he wears these things, and throws his shoulders back. Takes pride in what he does and how he does it. Harvey is GOOD at his job. 

But Harvey says this man is not innocent. Jim isn’t sure. They’ve argued about it, Dick has heard them through his door at night. When he’s curled up tight in bed and they think he’s asleep, they speak in hissing whispers to one another, and Dick WORRIES. It isn’t often that Harvey and Jim disagree. They always seem so happy. So safe. 

This man, innocent or not - is making trouble for them. 

But Dick, small circus boy in a city he is only just beginning to understand, wants to know why Harvey doesn’t think the man is innocent too. Why he’s trying to put him away forever when there isn’t IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE, as Jim puts it. 

     “Shouldn’t you try? If he didn’t kill       those people . . . he shouldn’t go       to jail. Right? Even if he tries to       ‘take you down’, isn’t that what the       law says? Innocent until proven       guilty?”

Of course, he doesn’t understand Harvey’s role in any meaningful way, doesn’t understand that he is EMPLOYED to argue for the state government. Doesn’t understand the political machinations behind these sorts of things, or the full and confounding extend that the law can reach when hairs are split to the Nth degree. 

All he understands is the conflict in the house, and what Jim is saying. But he wants to understand. He wants to learn more of what Harvey does, even if Harvey keeps giving him that LOOK.

❛ Hey man, I’ve got a question for you. ❜  Sinking down into a seat, Josh eyes the older man, comforted by the knowledge that he can  trust  him.  It allows him some freedom;  the chance to open up just a bit more while in his company.

❛ If  avant - garde  cinema is art ‘cause it  provokes  people  --  gets a reaction outta the audience  --  then...  doesn’t that make  provoking  an art? ❜  Okay.  Maybe that’s stretching things a little bit.  But he’s got something on his mind, something that this type of reasoning could help excuse.

“I see things in this city isn’t getting much better than before, is it?” Alfred raises an eyebrow at the district attorney as he stepped into the GCPD.

    This was not how this night was supposed to go.

    Tonight was to be about celebrating with Gotham’s influencial members of society about how far Snow Industries had come in the past year, as the torch had now been passed to the eldest Snow daughter after the recent death of the former owner, Arthur Snow.

     Questions from Anna, who spent so much time in prep school, were not supposed to be asked. This was supposed to be a time for the sisters to reconnect, a time where they could simply just... be, and not dwell on the past. 

     And yet, those questions were asked, repeatedly, so much so that Elsa had to leave her own party to get some air on one of the adjoining balconies of this grand hotel where this party was being held. The gloves she had chosen to wear with her dress for such a formal occasion felt too stifling, too confining, especially given the mounting anxiety of the heiress herself. Did they ever consider the pressure she’s under? Just how a twenty-something was supposed to pull off something of this magnitude while still silently grieving the death of her parents?

      There shouldn’t have been anybody outside ------ well, there wasn’t when she had briefly checked before a white glove slid effortlessly off of her arm. Pale fingers stretch into the night air, flexing for but a moment before a snowflake or two flies into the perpetual cold breeze always seeming to run through this damn town. A shaky breath is released from the woman as she tries to calm herself, to tell herself that this is fine.

      Tonight was not supposed to go like this.

He's always finding himself BACK at this place , where it smelled too much of the STERILE solution that couldn’t HIDE that thickly coated odor of miserable souls that CONTAMINATED every crevice of this building.  Jim’s had his FAIR SHARE of visits to hospitals , more so than most as the RISK that came with his JOB was at a much higher stake.  He HATES hospitals though , no matter how many TIMES he’s been in them.  It’s the MECHANICS of the entirety of the hospital itself that he despises , patients OFTEN treated and handled more like cattle than INJURED human beings , the DOCTORS having no more than a certain allotted TIME for non-fatal injuries… well , most of them anyway.  There were a RARE FEW that had treated him with genuine care , as if he MATTERED.

Doctor Dent was one of those FEW with a real concern for injured STRANGERS.  His hands were gentle , dark eyes EVEN kinder , very much like his PERSONALITY as Jim had come to find out the FIRST TIME the doctor had treated him for a gunshot wound to his shoulder… and THEN the visits became regular with EVERY time that Jim came in BLOODY and bruised and sometimes unconscious , their sense of familiarity with EACH OTHER now on a first name basis.

He GLARES down at his hand as if this was the limb’s FAULT ( Harvey wouldn’t be happy ) , a deep and gaping wound through the PALM of it from a knife that had run right through it , FRESH streaks of blood RUNNING down from it.  A few stitches MAX by the look of it.  The sound of footsteps draw near so Jim puts on his most IMPASSIVE expression , one that he’s MASTERED.  He can literally feel his HEART soften despite the almost distracting PAIN when he spots the raven colored hair parted and gelled off to the side with PRECISION , matching colored hues catching his GAZE in it’s abysmal WARMTH , white lab coat finishing off the immaculate look of a GOOD doctor.

              “ I can explain , ”  he starts sheepishly , his GOOD hand covering the bloodied one.  It’s not often the DETECTIVE acts less gruff and more on the polite side to any STAFF of this awful place and it’s most likely why DENT seems to be the one treating HIM every time.

          “Oh don’t play coy, Two-Face.” Ivy was practically yelling at him. All of Gotham knew how little love Ivy had for this monstrosity of a human, but he had now pushed her over the edge. “I know it was you that caused those forest fires few miles south. You and Catwoman were the only two who knew that I was experimenting with a new species of plants there and now…” fire was blazing in her eyes. “All of them are GONE!” she raged. It took everything she had in her to stop herself from choking him right there. “I could hear their cries. I could feel their pain! If you have an issue with me, you bring it to me. You don’t make my children suffer just for your own amusement!”
