You're my what?! A Gerard Way Fanfiction

☆ Jadis, Meet The Press ☆

Gerard

I stared at myself, in the airplane mirror. Frank and Mikey were right; I was being stupid zombie-man. Fuck, I'd probably scared the shit outta Jadis. I took my medication, and ghosted back to my seat.

"…He's just taking his meds, so he's not as…" Frank's voice trailed off. I stood beside my seat silently. Jadis' eyes were diverted, looking at Mikey.

"Petulant?" I supplied. Jadis' eyes flitted up to mine. "I'm sorry, Jadis. I'm a fuckwit. I understand if you hate me. I hate me. I'm just very tired, confused, and anxious and I hadn't taken my meds. But I love you, Jay." She stood up, walked over to me and hugged me.

"I love you, too, dad." She whispered. Suddenly, the cabin started to shake; turbulence, great. Jadis abruptly stopped supporting herself. I clung onto her, making sure she didn't hit her head. Within a second, her entire body went limp.

"Jadis?" I asked. She didn't move. "Jadis?!" I yelled, shaking her. Still nothing.

"What happened?" A female flight attendant asked.

"She just, fainted!" I yelled.

"Calm down, sir. You should all buckle up; the turbulence is going to get a bit worse."

"But she fucking fainted!"

"Strap her in too." The attendant said nonchalantly, turning away. I threw my head back, in frustration, and my sunnies, hoodie and hat fell off. Everyone around me turned and stared.

"Fuck!" I breathed.

The attendant spun around, to see what all the fuss was about. She froze. It seemed as if the world had paused. Nobody, so much as breathed. All eyes were focused on me, and the limp figure of my daughter, in my arms.

After a few seconds, the older passengers, adverted their eyes, to something, they believed, more interesting. Still, the younger, more adventurous passengers remained staring, wide-eyed and open-mouthed at me.

The flight attendant, who had previously been so impolite, scurried back over to where I stood.

Jadis stirred in my arms. I helped her stand upright, as she came round. Stillness remained in the cabin, accompanied by silence. The only sound was the intake of breath, and Jadis moaning slightly.

"Dad? Wha-" She stopped, staring at my face, and realizing my 'disguise' was no longer in place. "Fuck!" She said under her breath.

Silence dragged on, but was interrupted when the plane began to shake, violently. Jadis' grip tightened on my arm. Without a single sound, the flight attendant seated Jadis and I, then scurried off to take her own seat.

Jadis didn't say anything. Not until the pilot's voice came over the loud speaker and said, "We shall be beginning our descent in about ten minutes. Please return to your seats, and strap in." Jadis turned on me. Her face was panicked.

"What the fuck is going to happen when we land?" Her voice was shaking, she sounded like she was on the brink of tears. Shear horror, emitted from her eyes. Her body was shaking, and she had goose-bumps on her arms.

"Are you cold?" I asked. I was avoiding the question, but still genuinely worried about her getting sick.

"A little, but your diverting the question!" A shiver rolled down her spine. I leant over my bag, pulled out my favourite skeleton gloves and another hoodie. I handed them to her. She took them out of my hands, slowly. Her eyes were glued to my gloves.

"Something wrong with skeletons?" I questioned, not wanting to offend her.

"No," She shook her head, "It's just…I've seen you were these so many the times! I never thought I'd actually see them close-up. Then again, I never even imagined meeting you!" She put the gloves and hoodie on, then sat back and basked in the feel of it. Her expression of amazement, made me chuckle. The seatbelt sign dinged alight, and we began our descent. Jadis' hand clung to my arm. She only released her grip, moderately, when we touched down.
