Jim POV

A dozen transport vans were stolen from the GCPD motor pool. That must be how they are transporting the bombs. They were spotted here, here and here." Harvey said pointing on a map.

"They are moving towards the outskirts of Gotham. Jeremiah must have changed targets."

"Gorden!" Came the booming voice of the General.

"Perfect." Harvey mutters.

"You've got some serious explaining to do! What happened to my men!" The General demanded.

Before I could reply Harvey intervened "General we've got some serious fish to fry we don't have time too..."

"I didn't ask your option detective." The General replies turning his attention back to me.

"Two more sightings Boston and moving north along the van hook highway." Harper said pointing towards the spots on the map.

"Why? What that doesn't make any sense what buildings would he be targeting there?" Harvey demands.

"You told me Jeremiah promised to turn Gotham into a dark island. We need to cancel the evacuation get those people off those bridges."

"Absolutely not." The General replies. They are filled with people leaving the city we will bring them back into Gotham. Buildings fall..."

"The bridges are the targets! Harper spread the word."

"Don't move." The General replies. "Arrest Captain Gordon." His men go to obey his orders and Harvey pulls out his gun.

"I wouldn't do that." He says pointing it at the Generals men.

"Arrest them both." At this everyone in the precinct turn their guns on them.

With that I turned to a nearby officer "I need your radio." Instantly he handed it over without thinking twice. Not removing his gaze or his gun from the General and his men.

"This is Captain Gorden I want all the bridges cleared now! I repeats get everyone off the bridges now!"

Quinn POV

"Civilization is so fragile Bruce. Gotham will soon be every man for himself. A more savage place." This Ra-a-Ghoul guy says to Bruce.

Suddenly the sound of high heels could be heard. "Sounds like fun. Are you sure you want to leave?" Barbara asks. Upon hearing Barbara's voice Bella lets out a low growl. She struggles to get out of Ra's men's grasp. "Oh hay Bruce, Bella, Quinn." Then turning and nodding in Jeremiah's direction says "freak" before returning her attention back to Ra a ghouls.

"Hello Barbara. I'm really glad you came."

"Oh so your the infamous Barbara Keen. The one who shot Quinn." Jeremiah says cocking an eyebrow. "I take it you want to kill her?" He asks turning his attention to Bella who glares angrily in Barbara's direction.

"She needs to pay for what she did to Pooh Bea and me." Bella replies still glaring in Barbara's direction.

"Look, I'm sorry ok. I may have over reacted slightly. So sue me." Barbara replies.

Jeremiah sighs "sorry sis, but there is no way I'm going to let you kill her."

"Why not? Do you want to make hewa go bye bye youself like Jewome  would habe?"

At the mention of Jerome's name, Jeremiah lets out a low growl "No. Bella, I am not going to kill her. In fact, Blondie here isn't going to die."

"What?" Bella demands angrily turning her attention back to Jeremiah. "You can't let hewa get away with what she did to Pooh Bea and me!"

"I can, I have and I am going to let her go. That my dear Bella, is your punishment for continually comparing me to Jerome. Knowing that the woman who paralyzed our dear friend is going to get away with it. Wait, what do you mean what she did to you?" Jeremiah replied.

"And here I thought you were supposed to be the smart one." Jeremiah turned his attention to Me and he gave me an apologetic look before sighing and turning his attention back to Barbara. "Bella Puddin, cover your ears cause I'm about to use some really bad language that you don't need to hear or repeat."

"Why? It's not like me hasn't heawd them befowa."

"Bella."

"Ok, ok." Bella replies rolling her eyes and sighing as she puts her finger in her ears.

"Over reacted? You shot me in the back and now I'm paralyzed from the waste down! Your a selfish dog ! How could you let her get away with this?" I demanded of Jeremiah who shrugged and then sighed.

"I told you, Bella has too learn some respect..."

"You shouldn't punish Bella for telling you how she feels. Do you want her to shut herself away from you? Because that's exactly what's going to happen if you punish her for being truthful. She's not going to tell you or anyone else for that matter, how she truly feels."

Jeremiah sighs "fine."

"Bad news baby, I'm not leaving. Gotham's in my blood and I don't think that I can't let you leave either." Barbara said it's then that I noticed that she carried a golden box in her arms.

"What's in the box Barbara?"

Barbara smiles opens the box to reveal a small dagger. "You reforged it. Well now." Ra A Ghoul replies.

"You see, you say that your leaving but I have a feeling that you'd be back. And I don't like looking over my shoulder." Barbara replies unsheathing the knife Ra Ah Ghoul's men doing the same with theirs.

"You've already tried using that knife."Ra a Ghoul reminds Barbara. "Oh and also your outnumbered." Ra replies nodding towards his men.

At this, I exchange a knowing glance over at Bella. "That demon's heads not working out for you is it." Barbara replies sarcastically as Oswald and her gang enter the room guns a blazing.

"When will you ever learn Barbara the knife has to be held..."

"By Your Heir Bruce Wayne yeah, I know." Barbara replies.

Meanwhile Tabitha attacks Jeremiah and has him on his knees her whip wrapped around his throat. I hear Bella let out a snarl her eyes flashing with anger. Before she's able to attack Tabitha I grab her and pull her back towards me. "This is for Selena." Tabitha hisses at Jeremiah. Bella instantly goes to assist Jeremiah but I held her back.

"Puddin..."

"Let me go! Miah's in twouble! Me habe to help him!"

"I'm sorry Bella, but I can't let you do that."

"Why not? Don't you cawe about what happens to him? She's going to make him go bye bye Pooh bea."

I sigh before I reply "don't worry Puddin. Jeremiah is stronger and ten times smarter then she is, she won't kill him. On the contrary, if anything it will be the other way around."

"How can you be so suwa?"

"Don't you remember what Jerome said? He and Jeremiah have the same blood running through them. I know they are two different people, but sometimes siblings especially twins, tend to think and act alike."

"Does that mean that somewhewe deep down inside Miah lobes us like Jewome did?" Bella asks her eyes filled with hope.

"We always have hope for that, love." I reply with a slight smile.

Bella's smile instantly disappears and I can see tears threatening to fall. "You don't think that he lobes us do you? He will neba be like Jewome will he?" Bella asks sadly and I sigh.

While we were talking, Jeremiah is able to quickly turn the tides on Tabitha and now Jeremiah's on top of her holding a knife to her throat.

"In that case this must be very disappointing for you. Dying like this." Jeremiah replies with a smile. However, before he can kill her, he is shot in the shoulder blade. Tabitha looks up in shock to see that her savior is none other then Oswald Cobblepot. Bella and I can tell that she's groaning inwardly.

"What are you doing?" Bruce demands as Barbara grabs him by the arms and drags him in Ra Ah Ghoul's direction helping him drive the knife through his stomach.

"Well done Barbara." Ra ah Ghoul replies as flames spread through his body. Their victory however, is short lived as an explosion rocks the city as the first bridge falls followed in sequence by all of the bridges. Everyone stares out the window in shock. Bella begins to shiver and hides behind my wheelchair as she sees Jeremiah begin to smile sadistically.

"The choice is now yours Bruce. Stay or fulfill your destiny. Become Gotham's Dark Knight." Ra says second later he evaporates into ashes.
