#jim gordon scent

[fanfic-the-wish-your-heart-makes]

Fanfic writer here. Let me just...write that down ✍

This actually seems like it just has to be canon. What else could he smell like, except for maybe whatever his current lover smells like (later seasons Oswald must wear fancy perfume at least sometimes)?

What does Jim smell like? :)

Hello anon :)  Thanks for asking :)

I think I have in the past said that I think Jim probably smells like plain old shower gel - possibly seeing aftershave as something that isn’t an everyday, especially when he’s in one of his puritanical scowly moods

However

Jim’s suits are all perfectly tailored to fit him. Now - that’s because he’s the hero, and has to look good at all times (the costume department have said they deliberately source second-hand, slightly too-big suits for Harvey’s rumpledness) - but the in-universe explanation for that is that Jim does actually care about his physical appearance and how he presents himself, probably more than he’d care to let on.  

So - I think he’d probably wear a discreet amount of something.   Not too old-fashioned: Jim has a reverence for his father, but he also feels conflicted about him, deep down.  Scent hits memory and emotion like nothing else, and I’m not sure he’d be able to stomach actually smelling like his father.

So - I think he probably wears something that Barbara bought him for a birthday or Christmas, and that he’s simply stuck to since then.  Barbara likewise feels conflicted about her own background, so I don’t imagine anything her father or uncles are likely to have worn.  Something Chanel, maybe?  Maybe something a little chilly and sharp - Barbara might have been head over heels for Jim, but she’s intuitive, and she’d maybe have subconsciously picked up on those aspects of him.  Possibly Lauder for Men, then - with galbanum and juniper. Crisp and green and clean - none of the heavy leathery scent of older men’s fragrances. But some sneaky little floral hints in there, too, since Jim does have a softer and more vulnerable side. 

When he’s been misbehaving, and is all bluster and self-righteousness, and trying to project his faults on to everyone else, I put him in the new and deeply awful reformulation of Dior’s Homme Sauvage.  It’s a scent that shrieks ‘I’m normal - don’t pay attention to me!’ at a truly obnoxious volume.  You know any of those scenes where he’s been morally dreadful, and looks like he’s breaking out in a cold sweat, and is alternating between desperately avoiding eye contact and self-righteous bellowing, and is terrified that he might have more in common with Oswald and Barbara and Selina than he would ever care to admit?  Dior Homme Sauvage.

Apologies to anyone who likes Dior Homme Sauvage :D

Alpha Jim Gordon wearing scent blockers cause he knows some victims would stress out at the smell of a alpha. But now his whole unit thinks he must be an omega otherwise why else does he always smell like candy/sugar/sometimes fruit

Angry Alpha Jim Gordon letting his scent out full force and the officers around him are having some kind of whiplash

The irony of Jim Gordon’s normal alpha scent being something like cigarettes or smoke does not escape anyone present when they find out. Like what do you MEAN that’s what you were vaping and covering up??? Just smoke cigarettes???

AU OF THE CITY MARKS AU

AKA THE GOTHAM'S CRYPTID CHILDREN AU

Ok so basically an extension of the City Marked AU. 

In this, Marked aren't common and once they are Claimed, they are feral. Cryptids. 

They shift as they're Changed and the Mark appears on their wrist.

Their nails become clawlike and ears more expressive and pointed, and their teeth sharper, senses heightened, that sort of stuff. Basically feral humans. They can 'shift' these features when they want to though. So pretty much cryptids.

So, when Thomas and Martha are murdered and Bruce is Claimed, he's scared and confused, even as Gotham comforts Her child. 

But as Bruce hears sirens, probably police alerted by the gunshots, he realizes what is in front of him- Maybe he'll get his inheritance and hopefully stay with Alfred, but CPS and foster care and everything is still a large threat and that paired with..... whatever just happened to him, he can't stay. 

So he runs. He disappears, instinctively stepping into the shadows and letting them wrap around him, embrace him, and he lets Gotham's Wind lead him through the city. 

After this, I haven't fully decided what happens to Alfred, but Alfred has to leave but knows Bruce is alive and Bruce takes over the abandoned mansion. 

All the public knows is that the Waynes were found murdered in Crime Alley and their little seven-year-old was nowhere to be found. After three years of fruitless search, they give up and decide he's dead as his parents are. 

Bruce grows up running around as a feral little cryptid (with Alfred sneaking in and out to take care of him and all).

Once Bruce is 16, he becomes Batman.

Years later, Gotham randomly urges Bruce to sneak into the circus to watch. He doesn't know why. Yet. 

The Graysons fall.

Bruce knows what that nine-year-old is feeling because he feels it himself. And he senses it then. The boy has Gotham's Claim on him, not fully Marked yet, still a faintling, but still. 

Bruce watches from the shadows as CPS does its shit. 

Dick runs away the first chance he gets. Bruce finds him curled up in an abandoned building and coaxes the cub out of hiding. Bruce takes him back to the broken-down abandoned Manor. 

Not a month later, Dick is Changed as well. 

About three months after that Robin joins Batman. 

Barbara is also a faintling and soon after joining the Bats she is Changed. Once her injury happens, she becomes Oracle, and she is better at controlling her instincts than the others so she doesn't have to go into hiding. 

Jim Gordon is half-Claimed, so he can understand and speak Marked-Tongue. 

Years later, Bruce finds another faintling child, a little street boy trying to steal tires of the car he made. Bruce catches the cub and soothes him. 

Bruce takes him back to the broken-down abandoned Manor. 

Just like Dick, Jason decides to let Gotham Take him as She Took his dad and brother. 

It goes on, Every time they meet another Bat, Bruce and the others feel Her Claim on them. 

Cass meets them on a rooftop and Bruce feels Gotham's Winds swirl around the cub. he brings her to the Manor. Gotham Marks her soon after. 

Bruce Dick, Jason, and Cass are on patrol when Gotham whispers for Her children to follow. Her Winds lead them to a small back alley where they find two little kids, a boy and girl, the same age, scrawny and malnourished, two runaways from neglectful and abusive homes, trying to find food in a dumpster. 

The scent of Gotham's coming Claim all over both. 

The two faintlings freeze up and bolt when they see the shadow of the Bats from above. The Bats chase them to another abandoned building, where they half-coax-half-force the little ones out of hiding and bring them to the broken-down Manor. 

It takes a few hours to calm the little kids down enough to learn their names- Steph and Tim. 

Steph's father was bad enough for her to run. 

Tim doesn't speak. Soon Bruce manages to see why. 

There's a still-healing scar on the boy's throat. Red and angry. 

The cub's parents were neglectful and once when the autistic little boy (Similar to Bruce and Cass) refused to speak because he did not want to, his father cut deep enough to damage his vocal cords. 

Once Changed, Tim can speak in feral-speak without trouble but any human language is harder and sometimes it hurts him. 

Years later, Damian comes to them. Talia didn't know about Bruce's being a cryptid, or his being a missing person, though she did see how strange he was. 

Damian had slightly pointed ears and sharper teeth from birth, though Talia and Ra's never saw this much because he shifted out of it. 

When Talia leaves Damian with Bruce at the meeting spot she and Bruce used to meet and meet then, she doesn't note how Damian starts acting differently, how Gotham starts to Claim him the moment he steps on her soil.

After a series of hijinks, of craziness, Damian chooses and lets Gotham Take him as She Claimed his father, sisters, brothers. 

Duke is a faintling for a long time. After Joker takes his parents, Duke escape from foster care and is found by the Bats. 

Duke becomes both Meta and cryptid. He is Changed yet also a meta. 

in all their legal files, all of the Bats are either 'missing' or 'missing presumed dead'. 

Bruce is 'Missing presumed dead' and the file says that 'No body was found with his parents, but his whereabouts were never heard of again ever since this event when he was 7' 

 Dick is just 'missing' because cases of orphans running from CPS are common and he's probably a street kid somewhere. 

 Jason is 'missing' because cases of orphans running from CPS are common and he's probably a street kid somewhere. 

 Cass is just 'missing' because.... well, her father is a criminal so they assume she ran away.

Tim is 'Missing presumed dead' because what else are you gonna think when a rich couple's weirdo 7-year-old just vanishes into thin air? 

 Steph is 'missing' because they didn't find anything to indicate 'dead' but found everything to indicate 'runaway'. 

 Duke is 'missing' because cases of orphans running from CPS are common and he's probably a street kid somewhere. 

 Damian is 'missing' because Talia told CPS that he's with his father but refused to say who or where said father is. 

Yeah that's..... what I have in mind for this AU. So far.

I keep thinking of fandom x pokemon teams and then finding pokemon that would fit if there were regional/convergent versions of them and now I'm making it y'alls problem so here we go to start: Bruce Wayne/Crobatman

Public Brucie Wayne Pokemon. These are mostly non-combatant companion pokemon that the public knows he has:

Ace: Eevee that he had as a child that evolved into a Umbreon and a gift from his parents. This is one he has both as Brucie and as Crobatman, but it gets its own little cape and cowl when out with him. Ace is good friends with Bruce's partner Crobat; another childhood pokemon.

Maman: Kangaskhan; a companion pokemon that he feels an affinity with as a parent. This one, in particular, has an adoption problem just like him and adopts Gotham Cubone that it raises in the caves. Each of her adopted Cubone have become close with Bruce's children.

Duchess: Swanna; an entirely Brucie companion pokemon. A flock of them and Duckett live on manor grounds and this one enjoys playing along with Brucie's behavior at social events. Vain.

Vivillon (elegant pattern): another Brucie companion from the lands around Wayne manor.

Finizen: a fun-loving, unevolved pokemon that joined Brucie after a yacht party.

Shiny Aromatisse: publically, this pokemon provides lovely and wonderful scents and smells around Brucie's person to cut through the stink of Gotham, but in actuality provides comforting scents in high stess situations like hostage situations and helps healing down in the cave. She also happens to be an old lady as she belonged to Martha Wayne from her childhood as a Kane. Bruce loves her.

Blissey: the partner pokemon of Dr. Thomas Wayne before his murder. Often helps in the cave and good friends with Alfred Pennyworth. Often slaps Bruce for reckless behavior.

Gholdengo: a pokemon that's been in the Wayne family for generations.

Crobatman's partners and more combat/support oriented pokemon. Not all are permanently on the team and some just came to him in one way or another.

Knight: a Crobat that evolved from the Zubat that led tiny Bruce out of the caves he'd fallen into as a child. It scared him initially, but they grew very close. Ace and Knight are Bruce's oldest personal pokemon, and Knight joins him in the field as a vigilante.

Pearl (Gotham Marowak): Evolved from a Gotham Cubone that followed him home from his parents' funeral. A staunch companion that's good at dealing out damage as well as comforting children.

Zangoose: Caught during Bruce's training world tour and learned alongside him.

Gliscor: Caught while Bruce trained with the League of Assassins among the hidden cave bases there. One that shared his sense of justice and hates killing.

Swoobat: Caught in the caves below Wayne Manor. Comforts victims with their fuzzy body.

Sawk and Throh: more companions Bruce made on his world tour. Often sparring partners in the cave. Make fine training companions but don't leave the cave or manor much.

Excadrill and conkeldurr: helped build the cave. Were pokemon that chose to stick with Bruce because of his love for Gotham.

Brody: A Noivern caught as a Noibat from Gotham's cave system below Wayne Manor. Bruce often rides him over Gotham's skyline.

Carbink: Many hang around the cave area like the various bat pokemon, but one in particular loves to be in the main areas.

Gray: A Gumshoos that followed Bruce home after deducing he's batman. Helps Bruce with cases and good pals with Jim Gordon's Gumshoos.

Silvally: found on one of Bruce's cases. Created by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman and his more alien pokemon.

Lunala: Chose Bruce due to affinity. Not part of his team unless they decides to join him on justice league missions.

Rex: a Tyrantrum Bruce caught on a case. Pampers the thing by showering it with compliments. He thinks he's super cool, and it makes Bruce feel boyish.

Vengence: a Corviknight brought as a rookidee back from an English holiday in his teens with Alfred just before he left on his world tour. Roosts with Penny, Alfred's Corviknight.

Batvroom: a Revavroom that possesses that Crobatmobile. Named by Dick Grayson.

Kryptonian Minior (green core): Clark entrusted this minior to Bruce's care as a show of trust and frienship. Keeps to its meteor form unless needed.

[myweakness-isyou]

omg Jim Gordon, why can you smell penguin and say, "You just have a remarkably recognizable odor.Part dandy,part snake.After all these years,it hasn't changed."？？!！

Why this obscure and suggestive expression ？ You're really starting to make me suspect that you two have a past worth discussing (more than the "old friend" presented on the show, it's not that simple), and yes, I could just say relationship (does that mean first love？) Often a person's scent is thought to contain deeper metaphors, as if people can smell a hint of character, and of course the most direct link seems to be memory -- so, What memory can you clearly remember the scent of Oswald's perfume or aftershave and firmly associate it with the person (considering penguin are by no means the kind of people who only use one perfume/aftershave), not to mention that you can still smell it and make super accurate judgments all these years later!!When you smell it, what emotion does it evoke？(Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I have to say this is really like an old flame reunion.) By the way, I'd like to know exactly what constitutes the smell of dainty and snake-like🥰🥰

The Tattooist and the Artist: Death and Destruction

Part VII

The Joker escapes from Arkham and abducts reader. Red Hood becomes lethal again and vows to take him out.

Warnings: violence, swearing and sex

These moments with you were Jason’s best, he cherished everything. The feel of your skin, the sound of your voice and of course your scent.

Jason was deep inside you when he felt your hand reach for his, Jason’s slow and steady pace had you writhing underneath him. Your body was still for Jason alone, and it drove Jason mad.

‘Y/n’ Jason moaned in your ear, you sunk your teeth into Jason’s neck as he felt himself get close. Close to the end of the race as he filled you up.

His dick had been aching for a release and it was too irresistible not to explode while buried inside you.

Jason huffed out as he caught his breath, realising he had been selfish and not allowed you to come. Jason gave you a deep kiss as he slithered down and ducked his head under the covers.

‘Oh fuck’ you gasped as Jason took your hard length into his mouth, finishing you off while he smiled at the release of your pleasure.

Of course, it isn’t just sex that Jason treasures with you, it’s everything. But the fact that you never grow tired of Jason and never to hesitate to take his length, just makes Jason feel so special. Feel so good.

Jason was a happier man now ever since he got with you, especially since you said yes to marrying him. Even more so.

He sings in the shower, he whistles a lot of the time when he is working. His regulars always say they notice the change. Roy has said it too many times.

Jason is such a happier person now he has you, he has nothing to offer but his undying love for you.

Though, happy moments always get disrupted and Jason found himself watching the breaking news on the TV in the studio.

A breakout at Arkham Asylum has caused mass casualties and disruption among the citizens of Gotham. Jason always prayed hard in these moments, but he saw red when he found it was Joker that had escaped.

Jason saw police cars outside and near enough shit himself on the spot. Realising they were going at a speed he’d been away from for a while.

Jason was driving home when he got a phone call from Commissioner Gordon, not sure why he’d be getting a call he answered.

‘Hey Jim, what’s up?’ Jason asked, Jim’s voice was filled with concern as he began to break the news.

‘Hi Jason, I need to tell you something’ he began, Jason’s heart stopped beating as he found a safe place to pull over.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘There was a break in on Preston Avenue, an art gallery was raided and the owner, y/n y/l/n was taken. We’re trying to find him, but he had you as his emergency contact’ Jim informed as Jason’s heart never seemed to start again.

‘What?’ Jason whispered, tears in his eyes as he realised the break out at Arkham and your disappearance had to be connected.

Jason went to the BatCave and remained there until he found a lead, he had to find you. Even if it killed him in the process, Jason had to get you home safely.

‘Jason? I’m concerned about you, you need to take a break and eat something’ Bruce said softly, running Jason’s shoulder.

‘I have to find y/n Bruce, I won’t stop until he’s in my arms alive and well’ Jason replied sternly.

Bruce knew what Jason was going through, he’d done this every day for almost a year while Jason was under the grips of Joker. Bruce couldn’t argue, he’d done the same thing.

‘You need any help?’ Bruce asked only for Jason to slightly nod.

There was silence in the room as the two men hunted for a lead, hunting for you.

‘I love him so much, Dad’ Jason said, finally breaking as the tears came out.

Bruce looked as Jason let his emotions fall from him, tears down his face. His body shaking as he looked at the screen.

Bruce pulled Jason in and held him tight, Jason rested his head on his father’s shoulder, soaking his shirt with his tears. Jason hadn’t cried like this before, it was a pain in his chest that he’d never thought he’d feel. A pain of heartbreak.

The two remained where they were for a while until Jason could stop to take a breath again, wiping his tears away. Bruce still had his arms around his son, not letting him go, as he had done so long before.

‘I’m going to kill the Joker, I am. He needs to die Bruce, please don’t get in my way’ Jason said as his face showed nothing but anger.

Bruce wanted to protest, but then he felt the same. Knowing the Joker had killed his son, Bruce wanted to kill him. But never did.

Red Hood was a menace tonight as he hunted through all the leads he had, the hideout he found Joker was hiding in.

Batman was close by to help take enemies down, but he wouldn’t intervene when the time came for Jason to kill the Joker. Batman wouldn’t lie when he said he doesn’t want Jason to go down that road, whether or not he changes his mind, Bruce will stand by his son.

The room you were in was dark, but there was some light sources scattered around, enough for you to see your surroundings. You knew it had to be a few days by now, as your stomach was hurting from the hunger. You were thirsty and just wanted to go to sleep.

‘Little precious, the big bad Batsy isn’t coming’ Joker laughed as he showed you his face.

You were trapped with your arms and legs bound, the other two hostages were in the room with you. You sat in between them.

Joker pulled the young woman’s hair, the young woman who was in the gallery with you at the time of the ambush. She whimpered a little as the Joker pulled out a taser.

‘Leave her alone’ you shouted, getting Jokers attention. He smiled menacingly at you, coming over.

Holding the taser to your crotch, you felt your heart racing as he neared you. The Joker remained smiling as he inched his hand, holding the taser, towards you.

There was a crash from outside the room and some gunfire, diverting Jokers attention elsewhere.

‘He’s here’ Joker laughed, you stared at the door waiting for it to open, only to feel a sharp pain in your stomach.

You blacked out as you realised it was a stab to your gut, and you were bleeding heavily, losing consciousness you went out easily.

‘Fuck you’ Red Hood screamed as he rushed to the three henchmen in the room.

Snapping one guys neck, severing the seconds jugular and throwing the third out of the window. Not caring who lived and who didn’t, Jason just wanted you.

‘One bad day!’ Joker laughed, recognising Jason straight away as the Robin he’d killed years before.

Red Hood reloaded his guns, Joker pulling out the famous crowbar. Triggering Jason’s memories of his death, he saw Red and Jason let the adrenaline lead.

It wasn’t long until Jason had the Joker on the floor after hitting him with a powerful punch, shooting him in the knee.

‘What now son? Batsy must be so proud’ Joker smiled.

Batman arrived just in time to witness as Jason pulled his gun up and shot Joker in the head. Red Hood stood for a couple of seconds as he watched Joker, dead on the floor.

‘Y/n?’ Red Hood let out a gut wrenching scream as he ran to you, unconscious.

Jason sat next to you the whole time you were in hospital, never letting go of your hand. Still not sure if Jason was even here, he just remained where he was.

You opened your eyes after a few hours of being here, confused yet also terrified that you were still where you were.

‘Baby’ Jason gasped as he saw you were awake, Jason’s face coming into your view.

You cried with relief as you saw him, Jason, and he saw you looking at him. The two of you smiling.

You reached your other hand up to place on Jason’s face, he held the hand with his other, kissing your palm. Jason felt his heart beating again for the first time.

There weren’t any words spoken, but Jason knew you were there. You knew he was and that was all that mattered in this moment.

An unspoken love toward each other as you had your sweet reunion.

[officialbruciewayne]

It was the first thing Bruce became cognizant of as he returned to consciousness. A slow, layering awakening, senses dipping into existence like ink in water. The clean sharp scent of a hospital. The rustle of starched bed sheets. The singular, spindly flower in the vase with the tidy well-wishes of J.

Jim Gordon would have signed his name. Jay wouldn't have sent flowers, and probably not even well-wishes. John would have signed as Green Lantern.

No, Bruce well-knew who left this gift. Studying it for a long time, before, "hn."

Pain was not the most prominent sense. Muffled as it was beneath a truly inspired cocktail of analgesia, muddling Bruce's thoughts. Like touching something through gauze- his hand jerked towards his chest. Felt around tubes and dressing. Eyebrows furrowing as his eyes closed for a moment.

A moment longer. Another half-pat at his own chest, barely a twitch of his hand, and Bruce was asleep again.

[soulvagrancy]

The Taste of Vengeance, Part II

Jim Gordon has tried to quit smoking for over a decade now, yet every night Gotham City presents him with some new excuse to relapse. Last week it was an argument with Barbara, yesterday it was the mayor parading him around a press conference like a prized hunting trophy, tonight it was the slaughterhouse.

A routine check gone awry according to the officer who called it in, more than likely he smelled something rotting and blundered in hoping to collect some hush money from a negligent butcher by throwing around the word "health inspection": somewhat of a signature move in his old stomping ground in NYC. He expected a few defective freezing units, maybe a couple roaches, or exposed wiring near puddle of water if he was really lucky... but expectations rarely survive exposure to Gotham.

The officer was "Damn lucky to be alive!" According to detective Bullock, Gordon was inclined to agree given what curiosity usually got people in this town. He remembered turning his head toward the car's backseat to take a look at the rookie's bloodshot and unfocused eyes on the way to the site, his complexion, shades paler than when Gordon had seen him when he clocked in that evening. It was pretty clear he couldn't hear a word of Bullock's tirade.

The patrol car came to a screeching stop, they could smell the crime scene through the rolled up windows and it took a few precious seconds of gathering themselves to open the car door and approach the hastily secured perimeter.

"Nobody's gone in, Commissioner" came the declaration of a female officer, muffled through a medical mask. "No kiddin'-" replied Bullock, only holding on to the contents of his stomach through sheer spite.

Already slightly ajar, the flimsy plastic doors opened with a prolonged high pitched squeal and the three found out just how inadequate the thin medical masks they were just handed were: the revolting stench of raw meat left out to rot for weeks melded with an uncanny mix of chemical smells, taken together the odor in the room was so dense and omnipresent that it gave the impression of wading through an invisible gelatinous mass. Even through the tangled mass of noxious substances Gordon could pick up on traces of hydrofluoric acid, busting mob hideouts had made the old cop all too familiar both with it and the effects it had on the human form. Bad as it was it still compared favorably to the sight, mercifully limited by the limited scope of their flashlights as it was. Amorphous and semi-liquid flesh covered the floor, clogging the drains running at the center of the room, forming a disturbingly uniform carpet of gore where even bones and internal organs surrendered their unique textures and shapes to the red mass squelching beneath the men's feet. Gordon waved his flashlight upwards to inspect the hooks where slaughtered livestock would be hung to be drained of blood, he almost allowed himself a sigh of relief when he saw the remains of hooves and legs still dangling from it rather than hands curling their fingers in pain. Bullock put a stop to that fantasy, aiming his flashlight squarely at the centerpiece of that grim exhibition: The fleshy print of a human body laid against the wall opposite the door they'd come in from, the only remnant of the victim were a pair of jeans, a sleeveless shirt and a bloody apron along with an empty knot hanging over them. They heard the rookie scampering out of the building with a yelp. "Welcome to Gotham, kid."

Gordon lit up another cigarette in the vain hope the tobacco and the scent coming off the burning dust of the Bat-Signal would overtake the phantom smell of the crime scene. He was taken away from his thoughts by the sound of combat boots on concrete behind him. Silently he wondered if he'd gotten sharper or if his shadowy friend allowed himself to be heard as a form of professional courtesy.

"What took you?" "I was held up, what do we have?" Gordon reprised the newest horror conjured in the guts of Gotham. Batman remained silent for the entire tale and only allowing a brief hiss to escape his lips at the mention of hydrofluoric acid: A brief hint of the man beneath the mask, which Gordon had learned to recognize as the sign of gears in the engine of deduction housed in Batman's head turning.

"You know something about this?" "Maybe, nothing concrete." "Do you think it could be one of your usual customers?" "I'm not ready to rule anything out at this stage, but no. It doesn't match any M.O. from the Arkham crowd, and most of them are too pathologically dependent on attention to allow something like this to go unseen for any amount of time." Batman scratched his chin and took a step toward the edge of the roof. "The fact that the butcher had to be restrained, meaning he was killed at a later time, precludes this being a crime of passion or opportunity, and the fact that the cows received the same treatment indicates that whoever did this wasn't after him specifically." "Maybe it was meant to conceal the remains?" "Then why leave the clothes there? We're missing vital context. Start with the slaughterhouse. Owners, workers, who made the deliveries." Gordon sighed deeply, this was gonna be a long night.

"It's not like we have any other leads..." He scratched his head and turned around to address Batman- "Unless you-" -but he was already gone.

Staying

TW: mental health issues, emotional issues, anxiety

Barbara is recharged against the desk, closing her eyes tight to make a huge effort. Her prototype wasn't fully functional, since she would opted to get a surgical one but how are the things right now. She doesn't think that can be possible right now. The headphones in her ear were transmitting the signal of the phone call. Which she was struggling to understand, the important thing is that he get it. That Jim Gordon got it.

—Yes, I'm telling you, you need to leave Gotham, you can't stay at this place anymore it's not safe. Not either something the GCPD can mannage—

She insisted, a while ago she sent the evacuate notification to the GCPD, in her vision, Alleytown was the first place, next the rest of the city. A battle for the city is coming. The pit was just the start.

«Barbara, you cannot stay here either is dangerous and you're defendless in there. Plus, you haven't considered that, with people off the city and external forces causing chaos and distractions local goons are gonna be completely out of control»

Jim responded, he was right. She scolded herself internally for taking this situation in another whole personal level. But she just wanted him to be safe. She huffs.

—You're understanding, Dad. Local goons are the least thing i would worry about. How difficult is for you to just take Haley and go to our old house in virginia? You're a cop! You're supposed to be good at following instructions —.

There was a silence for a couple of seconds, Jim then scoffs and makes a weak laugh at the other side of the line. Making Barbara break the tension it was rising on her.

«First of all, that was your Father's house, not mine, I don't have nothing to do in it. Second of all, you're the one who needs to listen, take a deep breath for me, honey, please»

Her father, the alcoholic man who killed himself and her mother in that accident. The one who resisted to listen to other people, the one who forced her to grow up at such young age the same man who—

«Inhale»

Barbara took a seat in the chair, and followed the instructions. Inhaling the air of the ambient, not humid as the cave, but with a scent of concrete and wood. Now, the belfry.

«Exhale»

She did as told. The grip of her fingers that had tightened in the desk was loosing in the process, with every breath. The pounding sink feeling was deepening in her chest as she breath.

«The first time you went on a mission, what did I told you?»

It was weird to think about that, in those times she was barely 16, and wasn't definitely her first mission, she had been Batgirl for a while. Anyway, her father mannaged to discover her secret. Even if they didn't spoke it, until she revealed herself as Oracle to him a couple of years ago. He watched, listened, and cared for her. What kind of Dad would be if he didn't?

Since the accident, she has been dealing with the strange paranoia and fear to the world. A hunger to prevent everything but changing with the weight of making mistakes under the influence in over-thinked thoughts. She's a good planner because she's a natural overthinker. But it was times like this when everyting that she has been repressed is taking over her.

—It's useless to repress my thoughts—Her voice sounded broken, but his throat tightened with each breath—If I want to have a clear mind I have to let it go. Let them happen, let them flow, let them go—

Barbara didn't wanted to think of the worst case scenario, but the thought was already in there. Just eating her brain and blinding her judgment.

«Exactly, just breath, embrace them and let them go»

She took a deep breath once again. Making herself self conscious of the situation. And agreeing with what her Dad was saying, getting the GCPD and specially him (probably the only trustable cop in the city) out of the situation would be a huge mistake.

«The GCPD can help holding the random contingencies around the city, before the event in Alleytown detonates and it extends all over the city. Just breath Barbara, everything will be alright, you're not alone»

She took another moment to keep breathing to herself, slowly clearing her mind. Everytime she's alone, this happens. Its the first time in the last week where she got some help. But help isn't bad, right?

—Okay, —She finally mutters, reclutantly— Please, just take care, and if something happens— She was interrupted.

"Call the hotline, search a bunker" Jim was so used to this process, especially after returning to health after Barbara's paralysis. «Please be safe you too...» he dry swallowed. «I love you Barbara»

—I love you too Dad— She finally hangs up the phone.

She now, needs to focus, the has to finish setting up the belfry and track the evacuation of the city. At least the surrounding districts of Alleytown. Putting a pin in the financial district, she has a feeling, it was one of the most vulnerable points, either for distraction or goons taking advantage of the situation. But most important right now, she has a meeting to prepare.

"....there's an alley of Bruce....... I'm kidnapping her not only to fuck with him ...but she keep her safe ... she's the daughter of Jim Gordon and she's the closest thing to a older sister I have..... The joker..... shot her through the spine paralyzing her " Jason felt tears drip from his eyes "please don't let anyone hurt her"

@arkhambird

Rose clenches her jaw, contemplative. Jason having such compassion for the enemy could throw everything off. For a cop, no less. But one look at Jason and she knows she'll agree regardless. Jason Todd sees himself in every victim. It's why he's spared Harley, despite the role she played in his torture.

"I won't let her get hurt." She agrees, although her expression is pinched. "... Don't make a habit of keeping Bruce's strays." She warns.

"Just where do you plan to keep the mighty Oracle?" She drawls. It's a serious question, Barbara Gordon is highly trained and her mind is a dangerous thing. Rose isn't naive enough to think the loss of her legs has slowed her down a bit. She'd only fought Batgirl once, briefly, not over anything personal, long before she'd gotten involved with Jason. People like Barbara are like dogs with a lead, once they catch a scent they chase it until it falls dead in their jaws. With tools like the Bat has, she has a never ending pool of leads to choose from. You don't just give something like that up.

What Mad Pursuit

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/VI0g915 by arrowinthesky (restfulsky5) Clark and Bruce are finally honest with one another and share one night in each other’s arms, then a heat, with the promise of more. But then Bruce becomes deathly ill. Self-doubt is Clark’s worst enemy, and his newly acquired omega status Bruce’s. Believing he isn’t enough of an Alpha for Bruce to survive his biological alteration, Clark finds a way to time travel and bring someone the omega had once loved back from the dead. Upon his return, without the person he’d meant to bring back for the greater good but with other Gothamites from Bruce’s past instead, he finds his world changed—again. Bruce appears to be improving, but Clark’s claiming mark on Bruce’s neck is covered by another’s. Or is it?
