The king and queen of Gotham

Withdrawal

I've decided to do it from both Jerome and Faith's point of views, hope you enjoy!

Jerome's Point of View

I woke up to a massive migraine and realized I was standing up, strapped on something in a line of people. Looking around I see some of my fellow inmates from Arkham, but wait? Where's Faith. Then walks in man, I feel as if I've seen him before, and a girl after him. 

"Hello everyone, my name is Theo Gallavan." The man with the big ears, Theo, started to give a speech about us, to us, to make us want to be apart of his cause. I wasn't buying it, but by the looks of it, Faith hadn't made the crazy cut, so I needed to be on this guy's good side. 

"Oh, that is spooky," I said, making direct eye contact, I smiled. "That is me to a T." Theo smiled. "These other bozo's? Oh, I don't know?" I paused for effect. "But me? You're singin my song." There, I got him, I can see it in his eyes that I already made a good impression, maybe I could even lead these crazies, and rescue Faith? I'd best not get ahead of myself. You failed her, she's there all by herself, no protection, no friends cause you held her too close, she could die because of you. 
"Quite, Jerome," Sionis said. I rolled my eyes at his authoritative voice. "Keep talking." He nodded at Theo. Man, that guy is a jerk, stupid. We could make him stop talking, cut him up into little pieces, feed him to the dogs.

Theo started to spew his speech again. "Imagine a group of brilliant outlaws like yourselves, each selected for their unique ability, all working together as a team. Imagine the synergy, imagine the impact. Gotham would tremble before you." Ha, synergy? I doubt the brainless people in this group understood him. I bet Greenwood, Dobkin, nor Helzinger understood his big words, they were imbeciles. 

"Well, that sounds fabulous, but I'm not a brilliant outlaw." Ahh, of course, Barbara had some sort of input.  She could never ever keep her stupid mouth shut.  "I just have mm, issues." Ha, she had a pile of issues as tall as a skyscraper, being a bitch was one of them. 

"You have ferocity and beauty and desire and that's enough. Come with me, Barbara." Ugg, BARF. He was flirting up a storm, and I could see Sionis getting red in the corner of my eye. Hehe, he's pissed. "Whatever you want in the world, it's yours." Man, this dude is good at speeches. 

"Theo? That's your name, right Theo? You're getting way ahead of yourself here." God, Sionis was a prick. "First of all keep your hands off her." I rolled my eyes, he could be so bossy, even when it was clear he wasn't the one to make demands. "Second, this who "magic team" I gotta pass. I don't take orders Good luck on everything though. It was an intriguing concept." He stood there all high and mighty like he was a king. 

"This is very disappointing," Theo said, shaking his head. 

"Oh, fair play. You want a reward for busting us out of Arkham." He is such an idiot, I could practically taste the tension in the air. "I am grateful, how does a million bucks sound? Pretty good huh? I can get it for you today, as soon as I hit the street."

"Money's not the concern, oh I had such high hopes for you, I didn't anticipate sexual jealousy." See! It's that obvious Sionis thinks he owns Barbara. I don't know much about her, but I can tell you know one will ever own her, ever. "That always poisons the well. You have to go, Tabitha will see you out." Theo gestured to a woman wearing a tight, black suit. A whip was curled on her hip, she looked ferocious. They released him, and he stretched.

"Miss Kean is coming with me." He said, his stupid voice still full of authority. Couldn't he see the way Tabitha was looking at him, like a pot roast sitting on a table, just waiting to be devoured. 

"Oh, she doesn't want to go where you're going." With that, Tabitha wrapped the whip around his neck, pulling him to the ground. She began to beat him. (A/N here I'm going my own way on his death) She kicked and punched at him, the whip still around his neck until he was gurgling for breath. She then took out a knife and stabbed him in the back until he stopped moving. Smiling she pulled out the knife and wiped the blood on Greenwood, who sniffed it, then licked it, laughing to himself. Sicko.
