In the Hidden Places

Sometimes Blake felt as if he had two beats–the one he walked with the badge and blues, and the one he held close to the vest, off of the payroll.  The latter included his times spent at St. Swithin’s, not so much ‘giving back’ as keeping a connection he needed nearly as much as the boys who now lived there instead of him.  Maybe more, some days.  

There were leads he was paid to follow up on, to trail to their ends, and there were those that couldn’t warrant a piece of paper at the Gotham City Police Department, no matter which station house received the information.  As one of them, Blake was painfully aware of how much his city routinely failed its youth.  He was only one man, but as a man who had spent his own fair share of time kicking around the city streets, feeling alone, abandoned, he did what he could to help the kids that seemed to be invisible to the system.

Kids like the one he’d talked to that morning, and kids like the one he was looking for once leaving the station house.  The former was in her mid teens, savvy and practiced, and lived outside the system by choice, at least, that’s what she’d tell you if you asked her about it.  The latter was reportedly much younger, a newer face on the scene, an unknown variable who had been spotted squatting in a rundown failed tenement project, and doing so alone.  Alone was no good in Gotham.  Gotham swallowed alone.  Emotions kept close beneath his coat, Blake’s eyes were sharp and his nerves on edge as he made his way to the edge of center city, towards the tenement.

Jess was curled up in the corner of a room, watching out the window though he wasn’t certain what he was looking for. He was still pissed that he had to leave his last spot when the cops raided it looking for either a fugitive or some kind of gang operation; he hadn’t stuck around long enough to hear which one it was. He’d barely managed to get away without being seen, knowing that they ignored most of the homeless squatting in the empty building, but they wouldn’t just walk past a kid who could pass for twelve. He wouldn’t go back in the system, not after they’d found his parents and brought him back home the last time. He’d throw himself from a window before he set foot in that house again.

It was when he spotted a man walking toward the tenement that he felt the uneasiness constantly simmering in his gut raise to concern. He didn’t walk or dress like someone who was homeless, which was really the only kind of person that would be on this street.

Jess stood from where he’d been curled up in the corner of the mostly empty room, staring at the man in the doorway. It didn’t take a mental giant to figure out he wasn’t one of the other homeless who stayed in this house, between the gun at his side and the lack of holes in his coat. “Who are you?” he asked, taking a step to put one of the windows at his back.

I am completely rebooting my blog to only include the Dark Knight universe. I may include marvel if I decide it’s too much work to make a completely separate blog.

I’m going to be changing my url several times in the next few hours or possibly days, so bear with me. I have to actually see it a few times before I stick with something I like.

In the middle of a conversation, my muse begins to cough up blood. How does your muse respond?

"You know, I've been hearing rumors that you and I are having some sort of scandalous affair. Apparently you're my sugar daddy."

Send me a very scandalous rumor about my muse to see how they would react.

“I can understand where that rumor comes from. I’m a good twenty years older than you.”

[thesmallknife]

Jess chuckled. “That is true,” he remarked, looking back at his papers for a moment before looking up again. “Wait...is it really twenty years?”

Be the villain you were born to be. Stop waiting for someone to come along and corrupt you. Succumb to the darkness yourself.

“Please be more careful next time.” Gabriel says, wrapping his palm in gauze. “Glass shards are not a pleasant when embedded in skin.”

[thesmallknife]

Jess hovers over him, eyes still red from where he had been crying when he saw Gabriel’s cuts. “I-I’m sorry,” he sniffles.

☹

He’s not had a pleasant day, training did not go well and the weather was foul. Gabriel was not paying attention when he pushes the double doors that lead to the kitchens open forcefully and he winces when he hears a pained cry.

Jess is sitting on the ground where he fell, clasping his nose that quickly began bleeding. “Geez, I know my cooking isn’t the best, but you don’t have to try taking me out of commission just to avoid eating it.”

“What do you think I’m an animal? Why do you think we have so many tarps in the shed? Okay, yes, we use them for moving leaves in the fall, but it’s also for body removal.”
