Gordon studied the room carefully, his eyes moving from the overturned lamp on the table to the chair sitting near the stove, facing outward, as if someone had been watching the door.

"Somebody sat right there, watching that door," Gordon muttered. "Look at this burn mark on the armrest, too."

He crouched down, examining the spent bullets littered across the floor, clustered by the refrigerator and beneath the table, glinting dully in the lamplight.

"Twenty by the body, at least ten more scatte

    "So you want to help Jack?" Miss Alice studied Thomas over the rim of her glasses."Yes, I want to offer him a real home." Thomas met her gaze steadily, his hands folded in his lap."You want to adopt a fifteen-year-old." Miss Alice tested the weight of the idea aloud, not quite phrasing it as a question."Yes." He didn't waver."Hmmm. Okay. Let's see what he wants to do." She sighed and reached for the phone on her desk, instructing Mr. Lyle to fetch Jack from the common room.Lyle poked his head through the doorway of the common room. "Mrs. Alice wants to see you.""Why does she want to see me?" Jack's stomach tightened immediately. In his experience, being summoned rarely meant good news."Who knows. Maybe she knows what you did last night." Lyle smirked, clearly enjoying Jack's discomfort.A grimace crossed Lyle's face as he led the boy down the hall and knocked on the office door."Come in." Miss Alice's voice carried through the wood."Well, go in, boy." Lyle muttered, giving Ja

    Mr. Lyle sat in a chair in front of the door, shining the flashlight directly in Jack's face. Water dripped off his hair, pooling slightly on the floor beneath him."I was just out.""Yeah, out getting into trouble. I bet we will hear about it in the morning." Lyle's voice carried the weary suspicion of a man who had seen too many kids sneak back in through that same door. "Head upstairs and dry off. Change your clothes. Then come back down here and clean up this water mess.""Fine."Jack headed upstairs, water squelching in his shoes with every step. He changed his clothes, peeling the damp fabric from his skin, and found Harley waiting for him outside the door, her arms crossed and her face tight with worry."Hey you.""Hey."She gave him a hug, holding on a little longer than usual."I'm so glad you're safe.""I'm sorry I made you worry," Jack said, trying to sound light about it, though exhaustion betrayed him in his voice. "See, like I told you. I'm back.""What happened to you?"

    The Waynes' car pulled up."Hello sir," the man said in a distinguished voice."Hello, Alfred."Alfred stepped out of the car and opened the doors. The Waynes climbed in, and he closed the doors gently behind them before returning to the driver's seat."Alfred, can you get me to Gotham Central as fast as possible.""Yes sir." Alfred's voice carried the calm certainty of a man who had never once failed his employer.Alfred stepped on the gas and drove away, weaving through the wet Gotham streets with practiced ease.-*-"Jack, Jack, Jack." Gordy sighed, rubbing his temples as though the weight of the boy's troubles had settled directly behind his eyes. "You and me. I was hoping we got past this. I just spoke to you this morning. Why?""What did you expect?" Jack's voice held more exhaustion than defiance."I just want you to at least try. You're putting so much stress on Miss Alice. She's trying her hardest to keep you guys safe. Think about that. You're truly letting me down, Jack."J

    Harley and Mike made it back to the Orphanage, ducking into the alley where three ropes hung from the side of Moe's Bakery, worn from countless nights of secret comings and goings."Race you to the top," Mike whispered, already reaching for the second rope."You're on," Harley said, tying her bag to the first rope before hauling herself up, her arms burning with the familiar strain.They scaled the ropes with practiced ease and crossed the roof to the windows. Mike swung a leg over the sill of the boys' window and paused."You coming, or are you gonna stand there all night?" he asked.Harley didn't answer right away. She stared toward the street, a knot forming in her stomach."Harley?""I'm just thinking about Jack," she said finally. "Where do you think he is?""He's probably already back, laughing at us for taking the long way," Mike said, though his voice lacked conviction."Yeah," Harley murmured. "Probably."She climbed toward the girls' side, but her eyes lingered on the empty

    The floor creaked. Harley's eyes snapped to the doorway; Mike's darted to the stairs. Both froze, straining to hear if the sound would come again."Harley, Mike," Jack whispered, waving them over, his hand cutting through the dark in a quick, urgent motion. "Here."He handed them a flashlight and one list each, his fingers brushing theirs in the exchange."Each of you look at your list and only grab the things on it. Don't make trouble for anybody else. Let's keep quiet and get done as fast as we can." He paused, concern softening the edge in his voice. "Harley, Mike, be careful.""Okay, J.""Yes, Boss."They filled their burlap sacks with food and other items, moving carefully between the shelves, while Jack filled another sack with random things, glancing over his shoulder every so often. They met back in the last aisle, all three a little breathless from the effort and the fear of being caught."Did you get everything on your list?" Jack asked."Yes. Boy, is this sack heavy," Mike

    Jack and Harley hugged the shadows along the rooftop, moving carefully until they reached the fire escape. Jack set his bag down and pulled out three sheet ropes, his hands quick and practiced despite the darkness. He had clearly rehearsed this moment in his mind, running through every knot and every step until the motions felt like second nature."What are those for?" Harley tilted her head, curious."I came up with this idea last night," Jack said, testing the knots with a firm tug. "It should make things a little easier. We're going to use these three ropes to pull up our bags instead of carrying them up.""Oh, I was wondering how we were going to get our stuff on the roof." Relief softened her voice; the climb had already left her arms aching, and the thought of hauling a heavy bag up a ladder had been gnawing at her since they started.Jack tied the three ropes to the chimney shoots and tossed the slack over the edge, watching it unspool into the darkness below. There was a quiet

    4 years passed and Jack was no longer a bottom feeder. He was someone of influence, someone who could implement change. -*- All morning Alice was in court. She found the whole process tiring and she was happy that it was finally over. Mr. Lyle pulls up in front of the orphanage and Alice step

    “Look, it fits. The suit may be a little big but it fits.”Alice tugs at the shoulders and straightens the sleeves. She takes a wet cloth and wipes Jack's face. Alice stepped over to the window and looked outside. Then she walked back to the desk and grabbed her purse. It was hanging from the chai

    "Calling all cars, calling all cars. Shots have been fired on Everton rd."A police car zoomed, and a siren blared. The sound echoed down the empty street and flashes of red reflected off of the freshly fallen snow. Gordon rounded the corner, and he cruised by the ice covered mailboxes. He wante

    During Crisis the Monitor picked up a man from a pile of bodies. It was strange to see a man with green hair and white skin. Even the man's plastered smile gave him the chills. The Monitor could feel that something was different about this man. He wondered what could it be? What made him so myst
