The Beginnings of the king of crime

If someone was flying over this city full of the most disgusting,greedy, and selfish creatures most don't even to be deserved to be called human they decieve and manipulate the masses into thinking they're such upstanding citizens.

At least that's what I think after all I'm working for one of these "upstanding" citizens his name is Cobble Pot is what I thought in my younger years this changed moderately fast later on one of the few 'good' people in this city was Cobble pot in my eyes.

You may ask what he makes me do and how did I end up here.

Well I ended up here from what Cobble said, My parents owed him a debt and they proposed to offer me to him to pay for what they owed and he accepted it.

They were so quick to sell me out instead of just paying him the money, they were in fact very wealthy but they decided I wasn't worth a dime.

Cobble Pot is actually one of the nicer players of this game called life he treated me so well and it was suprising because I saw how he treated a few other kids, all of them dead it could be my talent.

It is more than likely why he did treat me so well, It was all because I was a natural at deceit , manipulating and learning I could learn anything at a accelerated rate everything I tried it all came naturally like I was practicising all my life every movement fluid wasting no energy or resources.

As soon as Cobble Pot tested what the guards were adamantly speaking about he started treating me better than others giving me more resources all to most likely to make me more loyal from what the guards said.

And it seemed like Cobble Pot grew fond of me and eventually he told me I could call him father and he publically adopted me I found it odd.

And the jobs he made me do were information gathering and assassination mostly sometimes I was spying.

But during one mission I saw a portal open up and a black goo come out of the portal and last I saw it was near a wound I gained from the fighting I had to do in my last mission and then I blacked out and was in my room.

Cobble Pot eventually told me why he was so fond of me compated to others.

Cobble pot:"Karma my son now that your 18 I've finally decided to tell you , but I've been meaning to tell you why I did all of this, I realized I was growing fond of you and so I kept my crime more hidden recently do to that Bat, I wasn't going to leave you like your parents did...."

I gave him a nod of acknowledgement to continue after he paused.

Cobble Pot:"I needed someone to help me with my adventual goals, I always wanted more power, and if I wanted to somewhat keep it even if I died I needed someone to continue where I left off, that's why instead of cutting you off and leavinv you to your devices when these feelings started to sprout I just continued caring for you and personally helping your growth."

Cobble Pot :"Listen Son, we may have not have started out close but what happens happens, and I have been hiding something.."

Me:"What is it?"

Cobble Pot:"Well I found it weird how you could learn things instantly so I thought it was genetic, some kind of brain mutation, I came to this line of thinking because of all the superpowered people maybe it was a mutation so I took a smaple of your DNA and took it to some scientists they told me that you had no superpowers but you had genetics similar to my own they knew this because I thought of having myself genetically augmented, and so I had your DNA tested to see if your my son and you are, it turns out your mother was someone I was with for a night..."

I looked suprised and slightly angry with this information not being shared with me but I understood why this could be hard to share.

Me:'He was worried what my reaction could be.'

Cobble pot:"I never knew, I would've never left you with them if i did, but I did confront them on this later on the women knew but the man didn't but the women , your mom was indifferent but he cared less he apparently thought of you as just something to be used to resolve a future debt, so I left them be I was mad but I didn't bother with them bevause I know Gotham will probably swallow them up anyways."

Me:"So this is the true reason your grew so fond of me , even if it is I will still love you father."

Cobble Pot:"It isn't the of reason I also grew fond of you naturally I believe at least."

Me:"Thanks for telling this to me Father."

Cobble Pot:"You deserved to know, now this doesn't change the fact that we will work tpgether to rule Gotham I shall become the kongpin of Gotham and then you will succeed me."

Me:"Yes father."
