Son of a Gangster (Gotham)

Gotham

I'm thinking of also adding Alberto Falcone, Carmine Falcone's other son, into the story.

RIP Emilio Delgado. You will be missed and your performance as Luis, the Fix-It Shop owner, on Sesame Street is stamped in our memories forever.

By the time they arrived in Gotham, Leo had fallen asleep. Sofia smiled at him.

"We're here Miss Falcone," said the driver, pulling in front of the Gotham City Police Department.

"Good, now take my son to my father's mansion," Sofia said, "I'll meet you there."

"Yes, Miss Falcone," said the driver.

Before Sofia got out of the limo, she got a blanket and covers it over Leo's sleeping form. Sofia gently kissed her son's cheek and got out.

As the limo drove away, Sofia walked into the GCPD. She was greeted by Lucius Fox.

"I'm here to see Jim Gordon," Sofia said to the man.

"Okay, follow me please," Lucius said.

Sofia followed Lucius and was then told to wait. Sofia was looking around for Jim.

"Gordon. You got a visitor," Lucius informed him.

"Hot damn!" Harvey said when he saw Sofia, "Fox in the hen house. No offense, Harper."

"None taken," said the newly transferred detective, "But you got the idiom Captain."

"No, I don't!" Bullock disagreed.

Sofia smiled when she spotted Jim Gordon.

"Be right back," Jim said to the two, and made his way over to Sofia.

Jim grabbed Sofia's arm, so that they could talk. "Sofia, what are you doing here?"

"I came to help you," Sofia simply stated.

"Oh yeah? How's that?" Jim asked.

"Penguin." Sofia answered then said, "Oh, I know you didn't directly ask me but I find men tend to have trouble seeing the simplest solution even when it's presented to them."

"Where's your son?" Jim asked looking around, wondering if the young boy was with Sofia.

Sofia smiled, "Don't worry Leo is safe at the mansion."

"You shouldn't have come back here," Jim said to her.

Sofia smiled, "Oh. Jim. I don't need your permission or my father's. I'm a Falcone. This city's my birthright. My father might not think I'm ready, but I am."

"Is that so?" Jim questions still wary.

"What do you think I've been doing down south the past ten years?" Sofia asked as if the answer was obvious and it was extremely clear.

He looked between them with realization in his eyes. "You knew you were coming back from the moment I left your father's house. Everything that's happened was what? You're sizing me up?"

"No. Not everything," Sofia replied as she looked down and then up at Jim innocently. "But I had to get to know you if we're gonna work together".

"We're not," Jim spoke, wanting to sound determined.

"Don't be sore, Jim," Sofia told him. "You came looking for a gangster, that's exactly what you found. We can do great things together, you and I." Sofia smiled at Jim. "I'll be in touch." Sofia then walked away from Jim.

Leo woke up when Sofia came back and Sofia said "You're awake, good. We are going out to get some dinner."

Leo asked Sofia, "Mommy, why are we in Grandpa's kingdom?"

Sofia got closer to her son and sat on the couch next to him and said, "Well darling, as you know your grandfather ruled over this city for many years, and then he...well he ran away and now someone else is ruling Gotham. I'm going to continue the family business but I'm going to need you to listen to me and be a good boy. Can you do that?"

Leo nodded, "Okay, Mama."

Then Sofia smiled and hugged him and said "Oh trust me sweetheart, once we're done we're going to be so happy. Now, how does going out for pizza sound?"

Leo's eyes widen and nodded eagerly, making Sofia chuckle. They didn't have pizza very often. But when they did, Leo's favorite was margarita pizza, but he also liked cheese pizza too.

When they got back from dinner, Leo sat down on the couch and took out something from his jacket, it was a compass locket. Sofia gave the locket to Leo for Christmas last year.

Sofia came and sat down next to him, "Leo if you're so worried about losing it then you need to put it around your neck."

Leo frowned, "But what if I forget when I need to take it off? I don't want it to get ruined."

Sofia smiled, "I don't think you'll have to worry about forgetting. Do you want me to help you put it on?"

Leo nodded. After Sofia got the locket hooked around Leo, he opened up the locket. It wasn't an ordinary locket it was one that played beautiful music this one played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." As Sofia hummed to the song, Leo snuggled closer to his mother, making Sofia smile at him.

"Mommy?" Leo spoke.

"Hmm?" Sofia murmured.

"Do you think Uncle Mario is over the rainbow?" Leo asked.

"Yes, I do," Sofia said softly.

Leo frowned sadly, "I miss him."

Sofia stroked her son's face, "I know you do sweetheart, so do I. But he wouldn't want us to be sad. Okay?"

Leo nodded, "Okay." Then he fell asleep against his mother.
