WT: Of monsters and men

//"James Gordon stood by the window in his office, slowly putting the phone down. At first he had been hesitant to call the number. After all, it was merely a business card Mr Pennyworth had left on his desk. He had expected an ex-military person. Someone Pennyworth knew from his time in the Royal Navy, someone who was specialized in non-human warfare.To his surprise it had been a school he called. His skepticism had increased at that. Why would some random principal of some private school out in Westchester know how to deal with this very specific and unusual kind of threat?" //After an attack on Arkham Asylum that left most of the facility's basement area destroyed and several senior staff members missing, investigations quickly show that it could have only been carried out by a powerful metallokinetic.Detective James Gordon seeks assistance from a supposed expert on mutant topics - Professor Charles Xavier.X-Men/Gotham crossover fic.Mainly set a few years after the plot of "Apocalypse" on the X-Men timeline and towards the end of season two on the Gotham timeline.The X-Men exist inofficially. Unlike in canon, Jim rejoined the police force after the night Gallavan died (again) already.

Hey everyone!This is a little project I started a few months back for my friends because we all agree that the "Hugo Strange holding resurrected superhumans captive in Arkham Asylum" holds a great opportunity to build a bridge to the X-Men universe. Gotham and X-Men are two of my favorite things so why not take that opportunity, then?Please note that both franchises deal with heavy topics at times and most characters have trauma of some sort. Tone-wise this will be near canon typical: There might be violence, there might be angst, there might be grief, there might be sexy times ;^) Anything overly explicit will be noted as we go along.Please also keep in mind that while I have American family & used to live there, I was born and raised in Germany, so English is not my first language + this isn't beta-ed so pls excuse any language issues.This will kind of be an ongoing project, I will write when I have time, but can't guarantee any regularity. Plotwise: the basic framework exists but no details, so I am as excited as you are to see where this might be going :^)Much love & enjoy,Jo <3
