Mayor of Motham #13- Tough Love

*The hotel the Misfits were staying in for Zodiac's funeral*

 

Jules- Groan! Remind me never to drink again.

 

*He notices a lump under his covers, he carefully peels it back to be met with a truly horrific site*

 

Jules- Aaaaaaaaaarghhhhh!

 

*Down the hallway*

 

Chancer- Is someone getting murdered? Let me see!

 

Blake- Let's be careful, eh? My heightened senses detect... rot, blood and an overwhelming sense of regret.

 

Chancer- So someone is getting murdered?

 

Blake- Eh, probably.

 

*Blake and Chancer burst down the door*

 

Jules- No! Look away!

 

Blake- Oh, it's ok man, it's 2018. Homosexuality is generally considered acceptable

 

Jules-...But is necrophilia?

 

*Zodiac's corpse falls to the floor*

 

Chancer- Oh my god! That's Zodiac! He's alive!

 

*Dekker exits the bathroom*

 

Dekker- No, he's very much dead. But he was one hell of a kisser. Thank you Julian, for a most memorable night.

 

Blake- Ha! One for the calendars, eh Jules?

*The Mayor's office. Gaige enters to find Drury on the phone*

 

Gaige- Walker, we have to talk

 

Drury- Two ticks. Yes Commissioner... An "Empress Penguin"... Yeah, I don't know where they come from either... Uh huh... I heard about a Lady Spellbinder too... Even a Madame Zodiac, would you believe it. Sorry. Something's come up. Yes, I'll watch my back. *Hangs up* Please, take a seat, what did you want to talk about?

 

Gaige- The Great White Shark is bringing weapons into Dixon Docks.

 

Drury- Ok, I'll send some GCPD officers to stake out the place.

 

Gaige- Actually, I was thinking that you should let him bring them in.

 

Drury- What? Why?

 

Gaige- I mean with this Joker stuff and what's going on with Nygma... Perhaps it would be best for people to defend themselves.

 

Drury- No, I'm sorry, I can't stand by as weapons are being sold on my streets. I'm the mayor, you can't expect to turn a blind eye to this. Surely you can understand...?

 

Gaige- Yes?

 

Drury- I just realised that I don't know your first name

 

Gaige- No one knows my first name.

 

Drury- Come on, you must at least have a birth certificate

 

Gaige- I was raised by pirates. They didn't care much for birth certificates

 

Drury- Well that sounds thrilling. Have you seen Simon recently, there's something I wanted to give him

 

Gaige- Who?

 

Drury- ...My son

 

Gaige- The emo one that ran away to Central City?

 

Drury- That's Axel

 

Gaige- The icky wickle baby one?

 

Drury- No, that's Cameron

 

Gaige- That really shrill squeaky one?

 

Drury- That's Kitten. And she's a girl. Just, if you see him... let me know

 

*Drury opens a case beneath his desk and looks at it contently. It contains his Killer Moth suit*

 

-------------

 

*The hotel. Firefly's room. He's slightly more burnt than last time*

 

Gar- ...Oh damn...

 

Volcana- That was fun. Same time tomorrow eh?

 

Gar- Wait. It's not that I didn't have a good time, because fuck, I had a good time, it's just- why are you in Gotham?

 

Volcana- Snow Flame is meeting with the top drug lords in the country. This was the best place for them to meet

 

Gar- Snow Flame? The cocaine god?

 

Volcana- Yep.

 

Gar- Weren't you... together?

 

Volcana- Not "were", baby, we still are

 

Gar- But, we just...

 

Volcana- Yep.

 

Gar- Why?

 

Volcana- Because you don't have distracting delusions of grandeur. Yelling "Kneel before your pure white God" is a hell of a turn off.

 

Gar- But... won't he kill me?

 

Volcana- Oh no Gar, not if we kill him first
