In your wish me away Au, could you add more to Gordon’s reaction to Batman suddenly appearing with a baby vigilante ???🤣 Oh and do Gothamites know about her??? If so how does the public perceive her??
Gordon is 1000% done with Bruce, and yes, in my version of things Gordon does know that Bruce is Batman though they never officially sat down and spoke about it, they both know that Gordon knows. So after the whole baby bug-hero flies directly into Batman while gleefully yelling "Daddy!" When Batman and Gordon were just finishing up talking on the GCPD roof about the latest in crime and what Gordon would appreciate help in, Gordon of course visits Bruce and everyone at Wayne Manor to get brought up to speed on the newest Wayne.
Once there he actually meets the little one, they called her Marietta, and he is even more horrified at how young she is and just seeing her not in her hero costume? Form? Whatever it was was daunting to say the least. It took everything in him not to outright yell at Bruce and Alfred right then and there with the baby there. Baby. Because that's what she was. A baby. And he thought the first Boy Wonder had been young...
"Before you say anything Gordon, please just listen. It really isn't...I don't...she has unconventional powers that she doesn't understand." Bruce had all but shouted as he picked up his newest daughter and held her close.
"So...she's a meta?" Metas were still a rough subject for both men...God, even calling Bruce a man was hard because in his mind, Jim would always see that ten year old boy covered in his parents blood, his eyes and soul faraway from everything.
"Not exactly. She's....she possesses magical abilities, and has...Christ I don't know how much I can say. I promise you James Gordon is trustworthy. He's kept the family "business" a secret from everyone, even his own partner and wife. It would be best for everyone if I could explain the whole story to him." Bruce had spoke like there were others listening in other than Alfred and maybe the boys. But this was Gotham so Jim was on high alert.
He however was not expected flying plushies that spoke to just pop out of nowhere, and he will deny to the day he died that he screamed before he pulled out his gun and shot at the red spotted one. Thank God nothing save for a broken vase happened. After a frankly, very long and disturbing talk about little Marietta Wayne, Jim was ready to go yell at a whole ass state in France. She was just a kid! A kid! And they treated her like that? They wished her away!?
It took longer for him and Marietta to calm down since she started to cry at his obvious distress. She had him hold her as she cried and told him not to be sad. Not to be mad. In her limited toddler talk...it was heartbreaking. It did nothing to waver his worry at the young one just randomly popping up at Rouge fights. She was a soldier once, she didn't have to be again, but like Bruce, Alfred, and uh...Plagg and Tikki explained, she didn't understand yet.
So Jim could really just grin and bear it and maybe try and bribe the small one with treats and toys everytime she appeared before him if he was talking to the "Dark Knight" or his associates. Well that was on him and he would gladly have Bruce be mad at all the sugar he was giving the kiddo rather than the father of so many being distraught or distracted by his baby being hurt.
When Marietta called him "Gampa Gordon!" Well he wouldn't change a damn thing that was for sure.
