You ran down the streets of Gotham as you heard sirens in the distance, your mind going haywire from the simple fact that you actually managed to escape! Well, with the help of Selina Kyle you did. And you couldn't have been any more grateful than you already are. Hugo had planted a bomb at the bottom of Arkham, so everyone had to be transferred to a different location. And you were actually going to be one of those people.
But noooo sir! You're now free. And no longer will Hugo Strange have any hold over you. He tried so hard to mess with your mind, make you into someone else but you wouldn't allow it. He could see the fire in you. And the main reason he was so interested in you, was because you used to be in the Maniax. And you were actually Jerome's main person. Jerome and you knew each other since you both were little tikes. And you never separated.
Then Theo Galavan happened. He took Jerome away from you and you felt like your whole world had crumbled. So you started to cause chaos all around Gotham, until Jim Gordon finally caught you and got you sent to Arkham once more, of course being put under the care of Strange. He toyed with your mind, tormented you, over and over again. He wanted to know everything you knew. So he drugged you numerous times. Until finally, you discovered a way to beat the drug, causing him to panic. Which really humored you.
Seeing him squirm is one of the best things you've ever seen. So you finally reached a little dark area where no police sirens could be heard, taking in a deep breath as you smiled slightly, actually feeling good for the first time in forever. If only Jerome could be here right now. That would make it so much better. His escape plans were always supper funny. And the way he'd describe them to you always made you laugh. Which he loved.
Jerome never let you down.... even though people claimed he was insane and mental. And yes, he was. And so are you. But he still was that Jerome you remember him being in your childhood. He still had a bit of him in there. He was just driven mad. But you got to admit, Jerome being all chaotic and crazy, is actually a turn on. You shook your head with a little grin lighting up your face as your eyes adjusted to your surroundings, when you noticed a turned over bus half way down the road, your eyes instantly going wide.
The Arkham bus! That's all the transfers... You slowly started to walk towards it, a little nervous as you heard the silence from around it, really confused. Now through all that nonsense, they've got to be awake. But who was driving? Your pace finally sped up as you reached the driver door, when it finally bust open, almost making you have a heart attack from the sudden movement, when your eyes went wider than they have in a long time.
"Ah.... I see you've found us. Finally. I was wondering where another woman might be roaming.." Fish Mooney spruced herself up as she grinned, a sly grin at you, making your lips turn up slightly, still surprised. How the hell...? She chuckled slightly at the look on your face as she gently grabbed your arm, leading you to the back doors of the now rumbling bus, hearing the movements of everyone inside.
"Open the doors. I think they await their release." You grinned at her as you flung them open, actually kind of excited to see who all was in there. You've never been shown what Hugo was up too. But then the smile instantly dropped from your face as deformed figures started to descend from within the bus, slowly backing up as they all looked forward, clearly confused as to what was going on. But they knew one thing. They're free...
You moved behind one of the flipped over cars as you watched all the people coming out, your eyes growing more and more as you saw all these people Hugo had experimented on. Your eyes narrowed as you pin pointed one figure that started to walk out from all of them, when you heard a laugh ring out amongst the people and your heart stopped. Jerome....?
You instantly moved away from behind the car as you slowly started to follow him, your heart picking up its pace as the sound of his laugh kept ringing within your ears. That's Jerome. And you know it. You know that laugh so well that it's grilled into your mind. You finally broke out into a run as his pace sped up, trying to distance himself from everyone as you finally reached him.
"Jerome.....?" He suddenly stopped, his whole body seeming to tense under the little bathrobe he was wearing, his ginger hair gleaming under the flash of light breaking through. He slowly whirled around at the sound of your voice as his green eyes met yours and your eyes instantly watered, your heart beating so fast you could pass out. It's really him.... He looked at you moment as he seemed to be racking his mind at the sight of you, when he suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with humor. He's still in there....
"Helloooo darling! My my... what a beautiful thing you are..." Your face dropped at the tone of his voice. Does he not remember?? Oh no..... You slowly walked closer to him as his smile never faded, softly placing your hand on his slightly, cold, pale cheek, your mind going crazy. He's alive....
"Jerome...? I.... it's you. Oh my gosh. Valeska! You've actually risen from the dead. Only you could do that...." Suddenly, he laughed, a huge laugh, making your heart sing from the mere sound of it, still not fully convinced that you aren't currently still in Arkham under some crazy drug. He relaxed into your touch as his eyes suddenly widened, confusion mixing with the humor as he looked around the area, then back to you, a smile slowly coming back to his lips.
"(Y/N)....?" Your eyes widened as excitement reached your face, a huge smile forming as you nodded your head in a crazy manner, throwing your arms around his neck as he clutched onto you, your tears falling freely now.
"Oh my gosh! Thank god you remember. I was so scared you'd have forgotten..." He slowly pulled away from you, when suddenly, he planted a big kiss on your lips, making your cheeks go warm as he pulled away in laughter.
"Ahhh! I'm baaaaaaack. Oooh how good it feels to say that. My my, I've missed a lot haven't I? And look at you! Still beauuuutiful as always my dear. Noooow, how about you help good ole Jerome here around, fill me in on what I've missed..." You smirked a little as he looped his arm with yours, laughing as you descended down the road now filled with all of Hugo's creations....
