Gotham One-shots

My Version of You (Jim x reader)

(After the 'Tetch' virus infected the city)

~★~

Jim... Jim, Jim, Jim... how stupid could you really be?

You weren't as important as everyone else was in the GCPD, but, then again, everyone does have some sort of importance.

You were a replacement for Kristen. Kristen Kringle.

Jim had handed the job over to you.

You and Jim have known each other ever since the academy... Yes, you went to the academy.

But! Ha! You were kicked out, and never graduated.

So, here you were, in the filing Annex, of the GCPD... but with no badge.

True, you were a tad ashamed, but, nonetheless, you took the job.

After working there for a few weeks, you began to reconnect with Jim.

You found out that the infamous Barbara Kean was his ex fiance. And that his ex-girlfriend, Lee Tompkins, works at the GCPD as well, as M.E.

You mentally ground, rolling your eyes.

However, Jim noticed this... and the two of you, actually, laughed.

~★~

And, now, here you are. In the middle of the precinct.

An infected Lee Thompkins, with a walkie talkie that has Jim on the other line... He was Underground.

Buried underground... alive.

"Jim~" Lee says into the walkie talkie, allowing her sing song voice to travel, "I left you a way out. You should have found it by now."

"The virus, " Jim says, causing you to gasp, "you left me the virus."

"Yesss," Lee hisses happily, gripping the walkie talkie tighter, "if you take it, you will be free, and you can be with me... If you don't, however... that coffin will become your permanent home."

"No!" You find yourself shrieking.

"____?" Jim's tone now worried.

"Yes! Jim! Don't do it! There's alway another wa---"

You were cut off by, none other than, Lee herself.

"So, this is the little bird you tried to replace me with, is it, Jim? What was her name, again? ____?"

"Lee, I swear, if you hurt her, I'll---"

"You'll what, Jim? Kill me? Yes, that will do nicely. Bring out your dark side." She chuckles, "here ya go, Harvey."

She tosses the walkie-talkie into the air, expecting Harvey to catch it, but, instead, you did.

"Jim? Please, oh, please be okay."

"____? Oh, thank God, you're okay."

You laughed, "me? You're the one who's buried."

"Yeah..."

"Look, I'm gonna have Lucius, somehow, track the device. So, please, just breathe. Help will be there momentarily. "

"Okay... but, can you... nevermind."

"No, keep going, what is it? What ever it is, Jim, let me help."

"It's just... can you sing for me? No, nevermind, it's a stupid idea, it's just, back at the academy, you would always sing and it would calm my nerves---"
