With the CW network canceling almost all scripted shows on its network, many great shows have been canceled or are facing the threat of cancellation. Gotham Knights is potentially one of the shows that unfortunately, could share this same fate.

Many fans all over the world support Gotham Knights and would love to see it continued for more seasons! Gotham Knights has an immense following all around the world. The show has been a massive success globally, where streaming services like HBOMAX and the CW app have continuously shown the series in the top 10 most watched of 2023, ranking number six for the current year and number three for the last two months with only the international hits "The Last of Us", and "Succession" ahead, respectively. That's astounding statistics considering the series has only been on the air for two months.

Gotham Knights is the most talked about show on the CW. From its gripping and action-packed storylines, to production and costume design, to the phenomenal acting talent of a diverse cast, there is constant buzz about potential award nominations for this series. Misha Collins, playing the tragic Harvey Dent who, eventually becomes the iconic villain Twoface, has been exceptional invoking the duality of an honorable and upstanding man, who succumbs to his darker, deadlier side. Olivia Rose Keegan, as Duela Doe, not only provides comic relief, but is also effective showing her vulnerable side.

If the show is canceled, then the producers of the show will have to find a new home for it. However, that's not an easy task. The CW network, as well as, Nexstar Media Group, Inc. will have to be convinced to sell the show to other networks or streaming services. I do believe, however, that with the show's immense popularity and success on HBOMAX and the CW app, that selling it would be the best option if it's not renewed. Considering its popularity worldwide, other networks and streaming services would hugely benefit from acquiring Gotham Knights due to its cheaper production costs and potential buyers of streaming memberships.

I was moved to start this petition because I believe that Gotham Knights is a television series that is needed on air and to be seen not only for its talented cast and hardworking crew, but also for its diversity and real life issues that people around the world suffer with. In today's political climate where discrimination is rampant, Gotham Knights, embraces a cast of characters, as well as, actors of different race, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. They promote inclusion and acceptance, especially with the LGBTQIA community. Gotham Knights's storylines are emotional and raw because they tackle issues that are relevant in the world today, such as, substance abuse, mental health issues, homophobia, transgender discrimination and income inequality. Gotham Knights deserves to be renewed!

I'm writing this because this is something I care about deeply and it won't happen without the support of people like you. Starting a petition isn't something would normally do, but I was moved to do so because not only is this a show that means so much to the fans but also, to the entire cast and crew, who worked with dedication and love to create a series that fans would adore. It would be incredibly sad to see them so disappointed. I know I'm not alone and together we can make this change happen. Please sign and share!

Examples of reconnaissance imagery taken by the A-12’s Perkin Elmer Type I camera during the phase of ‘Black Shield’ operations conducted over North Korea:

An SA-2 ‘Guideline’ SAM site and MiG-17s lined up at Hwangju air base, both pictured by 60-6937, Article 131

The picture is of Ken Collins in front of an A-12. I personally knew Ken, his wife, Jane, and their four children as they were my neighbors at Beale Air Force Base. This is the kind of work they did in the A-12 before the SR -71’s being deployed to Kadena. For a short period of time, both the A-12s and the SR-71s were flying at the same time.

This was when the native people of the island of Okinawa started calling the Blackbirds~ Habu. They believed the airframe looked like one of their black, poisonous snakes. It was also handy to have both groups stationed for that brief period of five months in 1968. SR 71 pilot Buddy Browns had to emergency land due to an engine problem so he went over to the CIA’s A-12 compound, where they welcomed him and fixed his airplane. The CIA compound, while saying goodbye to Buddy Brown and his RSO Dave Jensen, said, “Just remember you were never here” The A-12 was a huge secret that very few people knew about.

June and July '24 reading diary

I was so busy in July I simply never did my June post, so it's a twofer!

Way back in May I borrowed all the literary-inspired cookbooks my library had, and the two I finished looking at in early June were The Book Lover's Cookbook by Jensen and Wenger, and The Book Club Cookbook, by Gelman and Krupp. Both have really approachable recipes, with The Book Club Cookbook having the edge on the recipes being inspired by the text and a little more exciting. I didn't find the selection of books featured terribly inspiring in either, and The Book Lover's Cookbook has a prevalence of Mormon literary fiction that explains what I'd loosely thought of as a Midwestern je ne sais quois in the food. Neither book is nearly as good as Kate Young's Little Library series, so! That's that on that, check out Kate Young if you like themed meals too.

An even more disappointing cookbook for me was The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World's Great Drinks by Amy Stewart. The stories about each plant are less interesting than the same author's Wicked Plants, and there's a real problem with the text uncritically repeating claims rooted in marketing or racism about the quality or appeal of different items. A letdown! I'm glad I borrowed it instead of buying!

An interesting gothic novel set in Jamaica and England, The Confessions of Frannie Langton was pitched to me totally incorrectly as a romantic mystery. I enjoyed what it is very much once I got over expecting an arc in line with those genres! It's a very disturbing story in which a woman recalls her life as a slave and a free servant, including acting as assistant to race scientists, and the overlaps and problems present in sex work, domestic service, and marriage for women in the 19th century. Sara Collins writes gorgeous sentences, the emotional intensity always felt commensurate with the material in any given scene, and she created a really special character in Frannie, who has complex and sometimes difficult to read feelings about her own agency. In particular, this book has the most powerful portrayal I've ever read of acts of racism particular to white abolitionists, and their need for "perfect victims." Collins also narrates the audiobook, which I highly recommend.

A book that was not for me is Y/N by Esther Yi. This is a literary fiction book about a woman who writes self-insert fanfiction about her favorite K-pop idol, and also about the relationship between the viewer and the artist, the lover and the beloved, the artist and the creation, the believer and the religion. It's about identity, loneliness, and searching for connection. It's a funny book, but it's a very cerebral surreal philosophical story, and this is only going to be for you if you're up for meeting the book's high level of effort. For me, the highly stylized and ambiguous sentences occasionally irritated me to the point of physical pain. I wish I could recommend it more warmly!

I also wish I'd straightforwardly enjoyed Rita Mae Brown's Wish You Were Here. This is a Virginia book with a richness of local detail and expression that really tickled me, even though the mystery was a bit too easy. It also has conversations between the adorable pet characters where they promote eugenics and pathological models of crime. I realize this sounds ridiculous. It was really jarring, and I'm torn about whether to read more and find out whether this is the only incidence.

Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper is one of those major children's books I never read as a child, a nice romp about siblings on vacation in Cornwall trying to find the Holy Grail before nebulous bad guys get it first. Very charming, if not quite engaging enough for me, but I understand it picks up when magic is introduced in the next book. I'll probably read that and find out.

The Star Wars anthology From a Certain Point of View (ed. Elizabeth Schaefer) has some very fun stories, mostly by authors I already knew I liked, and a whole bunch of stories that made me mutter various levels of "Oh, fuck off." I think a) some of these people don't understand how to utilize fanfiction, b) a certain amount of making the Empire characters sympathetic is reprehensible, and c) it is incredible how many writers will invent a daughter (specifically a daughter) for characters to cheaply jerk reader tears. My favorite pieces were Meg Cabot's sweet look at Beru and the two about doing paperwork. I'll probably read the other two 40th anniversary anthologies they did to scan for fave writers and mutter about the same problems again.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a book I remember my dad liking when I was a kid--and I remember him following the issues with Stieg Larsson's estate, too--and I only sort of knew what it was about. I knew it's a suspense mystery about a journalist and a hacker PI catching rapist-murderers (the Swedish title translates to something like "the men who hate women," which is more appropriate imho). I wasn't prepared for what a nice meditation it is on friendship, isolation, and the ways society fails vulnerable people. I also wasn't aware Larsson was an expert researcher and exposer of neo-Nazi/far right/racist hate groups, which is relevant, too. It's a brutal book, but not bleak. I unsurprisingly love Lisbeth, and while there are some writing choices I truly hate, I love that she's kind of a mess. I will also offer a hot take that I think this would have been a better book without the romance subplot. Still fascinating, and I will read the other two in the series that weren't ghostwritten.

I finished the Lymond Chronicles at last with both The Ringed Castle and Checkmate, and I screamed and screamed and clapped like a seal. Nothing new to say about the series, they're wildly engaging and also frustrating in some important ways, and I'm very glad I read them and more glad I read them with friends.

I also picked back up with reading Jordan L. Hawk's Whyborne & Griffin books with Maelstrom. This is a hugely silly series, which I needed because just look how many heavy and heartbreaking books I've been reading! Monster of the week scares (rats with human faces! cults with unspecific goals!) that appeal to the same reasons I like the Rachel Weisz Mummy movies, great sex scenes, interpersonal problems with heart. Which characters are cartoon characters and which aren't is a little bit scattershot, and that really showed up in this one, but oh well, it was a hoot.

Nightingale Chapter Fifteen - Choose

Summary: Jensen Ackles seemed to have it all. A hit television series fifteen years running, a budding music career and a stunning wife. To the casual observer, his life was perfect. But it was a façade. No more real than the supernatural world created on a soundstage.

That day on the lake had started with uncertainty, but when he pulled you from the water everything became clear. The truth was, he’d been the one drowning.

Pairing: Jensen Ackles x Reader, Jensen x Reader, Jensen x You

Characters: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Genevieve Padalecki, Misha Collins, Reader

Warnings: Hurt/Comfort, Hospitals, Drowning, Fluff, Angst, Smut, unprotected sex

Chapter Fifteen: Choose

Word Count: 3037

Author’s Notes: This is a complete work of fiction about a real life person. The circumstances are totally made up and are in no way a commentary on the fantastic Jensen Ackles or his family.

This is also a unique reader insert story as I have given the reader a physical description including hair color, eye color and body type. Hopefully you can still lose yourself in the utter fantasy where Jensen is the hero and you are ripe for rescuing!

Masterlist

Nightingale Masterlist

Jensen stole a look at you as the car pulled up to the dreary office building. The very picture of grace under pressure. Resolute and calm. The best damned poker face he’d ever seen, only the icy hand in his betrayed your fear. He released you only long enough for the two of you to exit the vehicle, immediately resuming his hold as you were led into one of the offices.

Part of him was worried that if he let go, you would simply disappear. There were so many aspects of this that were far beyond his control. Everything seemed to be lining up to rip the two of you apart. It took every bit of persuasion to get the agent that showed up to allow Jensen to accompany you, even still the intimidating man kept shooting dirty looks in the rear-view mirror.

The office was sparse. Four walls, a desk and a few chairs. Glaring, overhead fluorescent fixtures provided the only light source, and one wall had a suspicious looking framed mirror.

“Suppose that’s one of those two-way mirrors?” Jensen said, half joking.

“Oh, I’m sure,” you glanced over and gave the mirror a salute.

“Jesus,” he muttered. “Suppose they’ll start with the good cop or the bad cop?”

“Good or bad is simply a matter of perception, Mr. Ackles.”

The two of you turned to see a man with black framed glasses and a charcoal suit enter. He was young, maybe a few years younger than you. A wiry, swimmer’s build and a thick mop of unruly brown hair. He carried a file under one arm and a cardboard drink carrier with three cups in his free hand. With the casualness of youth, he kicked the door shut behind him and tossed the file on the desk.

“Non-fat, vanilla latte for Doctor West,” he said handing you a cup then the next one to Jensen. “Coffee, black.”

“Uncle Sam really does know everything,” Jensen said, accepting the coffee.

“Your tax dollars hard at work,” replied the man, dropping into the vacant seat on the opposite side of the desk. He ran a busy hand through his hair, causing it to stand on end, and opened the file, pulling out several papers in seemingly no order.

You frowned down at the paper cup held in your lap. This was not what you expected at all. “Who are you?”

His head popped up in surprise, “Ah yes! Right… sorry. My name is Frank Solomon. I’m the agent in charge of your case.”

“What happened to Agent Jackson?”

“Retired. Last year,” he resumed his paper shuffling. “I hear he spends most days golfing in Sedona. Nice work if you can get it.”

You furrowed your brow as he spread out several black and white mug shots in front of you. “Now Doctor, I need you to study these carefully. Do you recognize any of these men?”

You looked briefly then shook your head, “I don’t understand… I thought you were relocating me?”

Solomon’s dark, brown eyes were sharp and probing. He gave the impression that he could find your every weakness with a glance. He was the hawk and you the prey.

“Do you want to be relocated?”

It felt like a trap, regardless of how you answered. “Do I have a choice?”

“There’s always a choice.”

“Alright!” Jensen broke in with a huff, “Before we go any further with this spy vs spy double talk crap… where the hell have you guys been?”

“Jensen,” you started.

“No! Seriously, she’s been doing her own thing for what… three years now? How does that work? You guys just drop her in a foreign city with a fresh ID and say good luck? Hope the mob doesn’t come knocking!”

For the first time, Agent Solomon looked uncomfortable. It was slight and he recovered quickly. “Typically, the agent assigned to any given case sees it through to its completion. That means keeping in regular contact with witnesses until trial, and sometimes beyond. The longer a case drags out, the less likely it is it will ever go to court.”

“So… time passes, the trail gets cold, Jackson retires, and I was forgotten about?”

“This wasn’t a top priority case, no.”

“You son of a bitch,” Jensen ground out, the muscle in his jaw clenched.

To his credit, Solomon didn’t flinch. He kept his sharpened gaze on you. “Circumstances have changed, you recall the code name Bishop?”

A chill slid down your spine, that old saying about someone walking over your grave came to mind. “That was the name of Colin’s contact.”

“We were never able to get his real name, anyone he met with in person and could provide an ID disappeared. Or wound-up dead, like Colin Garrett.”

He passed a grainy, black and white picture to you. It was a still from a surveillance camera, you recognized the back stairwell from your New York apartment building. And you recognized him.

“Oh… my God.”

“Doctor West, can you identify this man?”

“That’s Arthur Green. He was Colin’s racquetball partner… they grew up together.” You closed your eyes as you realized just how naïve you’d been. “In the neighborhood. Colin was in it from the beginning, wasn’t he? Before he ever became a doctor.”

Solomon laid out more pictures, several of Colin and Arthur in their younger days. “We believe so.”

“So, you’ve got a positive ID on this Bishop guy and that’s reopened the case?” Jensen asked. “That’s why you guys finally showed up?”

“Arthur Green has been in and out of the system his whole life. A typical repeat offender. He was released from Federal prison on parole six months ago. Two weeks ago, he failed to check in with his parole officer, that was when his file came across my desk.”

“I don’t get it… If you guys already had him, why let him go?” Jensen asked with a shake of his head. “What exactly do you do at the FBI? Cold cases?”

Suddenly, briefly, the agent looked even younger. Like a kid caught past curfew. “Until recently, I was part of the surveillance department.”

“How recently?” you asked, afraid of the answer.

“Very recently.”

Jensen choked out a laugh, “Great! The FBI lets Green go and send a rookie to clean up the mess!”

“I recognized his face from a file I skimmed nearly five years prior and found it a perfect match. There was no one working on this case after Jackson retired and frankly, my superiors are not exactly convinced it’s worth looking into now.”

Solomon gestured to the papers on the desk, many of them featured information about you. Your aliases. Your testimony. Every detail of your life tracked by the government, some of it even from before you knew Colin. You really wanted to throw a match on the whole damn thing.

“Arthur Green has been out before now, but this is the first time he’s ever disappeared on us, and I believe that is because of you.”

“Because I blew my cover.”

“I have to hand it to you, spectacular work. That Dateline piece really drummed up a lot of interest. Your sister and her husband even went on the Today show.”

“Husband. Frankie married?”

Leaving your little sister behind was the hardest thing you’d ever done. Harder than walking away from your dream job, harder than moving to a city where you didn’t know a soul. How many times had you picked up the phone, seconds away from dialing her number just to hear her voice? How many birthdays had you missed? Christmases. Graduations. Job interviews. Late nights conversations about horrible first dates. Or amazing ones. Frankie was your best friend, and her absence was something you never grew accustomed to.

Agent Solomon nodded, his expression unreadable. “Married with a two-year-old son.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose in an effort not to completely break down. “Great. That’s… that’s really great.”

Jensen’s heart broke for you. On one hand, that was a successful execution of witness protection, wasn’t it? It had kept you alive and your family safe. It wasn’t easy, but a worthy sacrifice given the stakes. Still, it seemed especially cruel to miss so much just trying to do the right thing.

“You mentioned a choice,” he said. “What’s the choice?”

“Well, we can put Doctor West back into witness protection. Make her disappear, just like every other time. Obviously, your fame and nontertiary makes this tricky, but it can be done. It won’t be pleasant or comfortable, but it will be effective.”

“What’s the other option?” you asked.

“We flush him out.” Solomon leaned over the desk and pulled out a file with Jensen’s name on it. “Mr. Ackles’ celebrity status gives us a unique opportunity. You stay here in Vancouver, engage in all of your typical activities. Maybe go out on the town a bit more, see and be seen. When Green shows we take him in.”

“You want to use her as bait?!”

“Jensen,” you quietly admonished him.

“No! No way!” Jensen was up and out of his seat, taking to pace while his thoughts ran wild. “You’ve got her disappearing God knows where for the rest of her life or stay here and hope this nut job doesn’t kill her while you guys are taking a smoke break. Either way, she loses her life and for what? To give you a win big enough to get you out of the mailroom?”

“You are absolutely right.” Solomon’s tone was even and measured. A counterpoint to Jensen’s impassioned outburst. He looked directly at you, his dark eyes not quite as calculating as they were before.

“Dr. West, do you recall your first interrogation session with Agent Jackson?”

You were still wearing the silk camisole and short set you wore to bed. Colin had bought it for you on his last business trip and you liked to wear it when he was away. A romantic notion that maybe it was lucky, that if you wore it, he would return safely to you. Just like he always had.

You sat in a room so freezing cold that you could practically see your breath. Wearing flimsy night clothes that did nothing to keep you warm and even less to keep your modesty. You felt so exposed and vulnerable. And scared. And confused. It was surreal! Like something out of a movie. You must have been there for hours before someone finally came in and spoke to you. It was Jackson. He gave you a coffee. Lukewarm, without a hint of cream or sugar.

He didn’t ask you any questions. Just laid out the case. File after file. Pictures, confessions, fingerprints. It was all there. Utterly undeniable proof that the man you loved, lived with, wanted a future with, simply didn’t exist. He was a con. A made-up persona and you were nothing more than set dressing in the fake life he used to deal drugs.

“He lied… everything he said, everything we did.” You sat there, numb from the cold and now from this bombshell that had blown your life apart. “I thought he was a doctor.”

“He is,” Jackson said, pulling out Colin’s med school records. “Board certified. Has been for nearly two decades.”

“No.” Two fat tears burned a bitter path down your cheek. You brushed them away with an impatient hand. “Doctors help people. They save lives, they don’t destroy them. They take an oath to first do no harm. The opioid crisis is an epidemic, its killed thousands!”

The grizzled agent shook his head as he shuffled through the papers, “I don’t think your boyfriend thought much about that oath when he took it.”

“Well, I did.” You raised your chin a notch as you swallowed down the tears. “When I said those words, I meant them.”

Jackson met your determined gaze and for the first time, you didn’t see distain or suspicion. You saw respect.

“Whatever you need from me, you’ve got it.”

You nodded, “I remember.”

“You were outraged that anyone who would take the Hippocratic Oath would be involved in something that killed people for profit, let alone someone you loved. You offered us your assistance before we even asked. Your actions were motivated out of the desire to help people, because that’s what doctors do. That’s who you are.”

You weren’t sure what to say to that. It seemed like such a long time ago, a lifetime ago. You’d been naïve in your relationship with Colin, and it cost you everything. Even your name. In many ways, it felt like another woman had said those things. An idealistic, stupidly brave woman who acted impulsively and from the heart. A woman who did the right thing because her conscience would never allow her to do otherwise. She was a believer.

God… could you ever really be her again?

“Y/N. The drug ring is done, most of the people involved have plea bargains with the DA or they disappeared altogether. Arthur Green is an outlier; his only motivation now is revenge, and his sole target is you. The only question is, what do you want to do about it?”

You could feel Solomon’s eyes on you, willing you to go along with his plan. Waiting for you to tell him your decision. Your choice. It didn’t feel like it was yours though, it felt like the same choice you’d been faced with seven years ago. The only difference was that you now had an acute understanding of the consequences. Not just for you; for everyone. And it paralyzed you.

Jensen’s voice came from somewhere behind you, “Agent, would you give us a minute?”

“Absolutely,” the younger man replied. He drained his coffee in one, long swallow and tossed the paper cup in the trash can as he passed.

The heavy door clicked closed behind him and Jensen’s hands landed on your shoulders. The steady warmth of his palms helped ground you.

“Every time I think all of Colin’s dirty secrets are out in the open, another one pops up.”

“I know.”

“He’s been dead for seven years and the bombshells are still coming.”

Jensen dropped a kiss to the top of your head, “I know.”

You picked at the hem of your shirt to busy your hands. “I’m still so angry with him, you’d think I’d be over it by now. Its useless to be furious at a dead person.”

“I hate to break it to you, but it’s a pretty normal reaction. I’d be mad too, hell I’d be pissed!”

“I’m more pissed at myself.” You blew out a breath, your head falling back against Jensen who was still behind you, steady as ever. “I should have kept in better contact with Agent Jackson.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong, alright?” Jensen came around to face you, “You went above and beyond here. Most people wouldn’t have had the strength to leave their whole life behind. You didn’t even hesitate. That took real guts.”

“It wasn’t guts. It was a complete lack of understanding of the consequences. I thought I’d be gone a month or two at the most. That they’d catch the bad guys and I’d be home in time for Christmas!”

You squeezed your eyes closed, thinking immediately of your little sister. How many important days have you missed? How many times was she alone, mourning you, mourning your parents? She paid the price for your poor judgement, perhaps even more than you did.

“Frankie’s married, she’s a mom! We always said we were going to raise our kids together, you know? After Mom and Dad died… we just didn’t want to be apart.” You dropped your head to your hands, “God! She’s never going to forgive me for this!”

“Baby, I don’t know your sister. But if she’s anything like you, she’s not going hate you for doing what you thought was right. And she’s not going to give up searching for you, she sounded pretty stubborn in that interview.”

“It’s a family trait.” You stood to pace, your mind working over-time only to come to the same conclusion over and over again.

“Disappearing into witness protection was the best option to keep her safe. As badly I as I wanted to take down a drug ring and bring the mob to justice, Frankie was my real motivation. If the mob thought I was dead, she wouldn’t be on their radar. Now that Arthur Green knows I’m alive… she’s a potential target. I don’t care what the Agent Solomon says, she’s in as much danger as I am.”

Jensen studied your determined profile. Your jaw was set and your eyes clear. “Sounds like you’ve made your decision.”

“The only way to make sure the people I love aren’t in the crosshairs, is to put myself there instead.”

He hated it. The very idea of it made him want to throw you over his shoulder and book a private jet to parts unknown. But this was bigger than the two of you. You were right, everyone connected to you was at risk. There was only one way this could go down, but he wasn’t about to let you do it alone.

“Not just you, Sweetheart. This is on both of us.”

“Jensen, I love you. And I know you love me too, but you don’t have to do this to prove it. Even with the FBI backing us up, I don’t know… it’s a risk. A big one.”

“It is,” he agreed, grasping your shoulders. “But there is no risk I wouldn’t take for you. The mob, the drug ring, the damn FBI… it doesn’t matter. You and me together, that’s what matters. I’m not leaving you. Not now, not ever.”

You reached up and cupped his face, your thumb tracing the ridge of his cheekbone. His arresting green eyes locked on yours long enough to silence your doubts. The cold fear you’d felt since regaining your memories melted away, leaving resolve in its place.

“Stronger together?”

Jensen winked, causing you to grin back. “Damn straight.”

“Well then. I guess it’s time for Doctor Y/N West to come back from the dead.”
