Jerome Valeska Imagines

Can we keep him?

Being apart of Theo Galavan's little crew had a few perks. Nice place. Warm bed. Big closet. What more could a girl ask for? A friend. A love interest. Someone who 'got' you.

Theo had told you Tabitha was going to get some inmates for a project he was starting. He said they were from the Asylum like yourself.

Theo had collected you first as a.. Well, as a prototype. He had Tabitha nab you, as you were the most popular criminal at the time, and was supposed to have her grab two others but, let's just say they didn't make it out of the Asylum.

Anywho, you'd been in his gang for a while now and you'd been feeling lonely. You complained every chance you got to him about wanting a lover and he told you to wait and it would all come in time because, at that time and little to your knowledge, he was planning on kidnapping six other inmates. When he finally did he came to the room you had at the penthouse and told you to join him and Tabitha downstairs. You got on something more.. You, as you were wearing pajamas. You went downstairs, following Tabitha closely, to hear a few people talking.

"What the hell is this place?"

"It ain't Arkham anyhow. Things are lookin' up."

The three of you made it down, Theo walked ahead as you and Tabitha stayed near the stairs.

"Welcome everyone. My name is Theo Galavan, this is my sister, Tabitha, and my favorite, third-in-command, (Y/n)." A few of the boys started talking in jumbles that you couldn't understand. Theo raised a hand. "I understand you're feeling.. Confused... Scared," he started walking down the line, "little groggy, but please, relax. Today is the first day of a wonderful future for all of you." You walked down the line behind them all, checking them out. Eyeing them shamelessly(HAHA CAUSE IAN AND SHAMELESS. I'm sorry I'll stop). They looked at you as you did so, smirking clear as day. You looked to Tabitha for approval that it was okay. She nodded with a smile. You continued the line as Theo talked, taking your time. "If you want it."

"Who are you?" A girl asked.

"Well, now the question is, who are you? The world sees criminal lunatics, I see brilliance." He said eyeing a ginger you'd be getting to in a minute. "I see charisma, and power. I see power."

"Yes." The ginger whispered. "Exactly, my man." He made a little noise, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "That's so spooky. That is me to a 'T,' these other boys.. I don't know, but you're singing my song." He said, a creepy smile forming.

"Quiet, Jerome. Keep talking." The first man in line said, looking to Theo. You'd made your way to the ginger and tilted his dolly back a little to see his face. You liked his eyes.

"Hiya, Princess." He said with the same creepy smile. You liked it.

"Imagine, a group of brilliant outlaws like yourselves, each selected for your unique ability, all working together as a team. Imagine the synergy." You tilted the dolly back up and felt his arms a little. They were pretty nice.

"Like what you're feelin', Doll?" You smiled at him.

"Imagine the impact," Theo said, walking towards you and the ginger. He shot you a knowing look. "Gotham would tremble before you."

"Well that sounds fabulous, but I'm not a brilliant outlaw. I just have.. Hm.. Issues." The girl said.

"You have ferocity, and beauty, and desire, and that's enough. Come with me Barbra. Whatever you want in the world, is yours." He told. At this, you rose your hand. "Yes, (Y/n)?"

"Hi, yeah, so, I don't know what your plan is here but, can we keep him?" You asked pointing to the ginger. "I don't care what we do with the others, but we've gotta keep him. I think I've finally found him, Theo! Please! We gotta keep him! He could be my only shot! No one's gonna wanna go out with a convict, but another convict! Please, oh please, Theo!" You begged, hanging on the gingers dolly. Theo shook his head and sighed.

"Alright, (Y/n). But he's your responsibility." He said tiredly. You squeezed between the ginger and a bald guy and ran to Theo.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" You exclaimed, engulfing him in a hug. He chuckled and let go. You skipped to the ginger and put your hands on his restraints. You looked to Theo, as if asking permission. He nodded exhaustedly. You smiled and undid them. "We'll see you before dinner, Theo!" You called as you grabbed the gingers arm, pulled it close, and went to the stairs. You stopped at Tabitha's feet and pointed at him with a huge smile. She smiled back and nodded. You jumped a little with excitement, before running up the steps pulling the ginger with you. The rest of the boys looked at Jerome as if he just won the lotto. He smirked and waved at them as you lead him to your room.
