Ask/Dare Bruce, Jeremiah, Edward, Oswald, 514A, & Jerome - Gotham *OPEN* + MS

First Question:

Jkichan asks: Jeremiah, why did you shoot Ecco?

Oswald: Yeah, why did you shoot Ecco? I remember Ivy got in contact with me for the first time in years and it was hours after the whole debacle with you holding Barbra Lee hostage. She expressed to me her shock and anger for what you did. And it was to your own proxy no less! 

Ed: Oh I have a feeling this is going to get interesting...

514A: What's happening? Who shot who now? 

Bruce: Wait! *grabs Jeremiah by the jacket* You did what?! 

Jerome: Bruh. 

Jeremiah: *forces Bruce to release him* Well, let's just say that Bruce leaving Gotham is what angered me. And I'll be honest, as devoted as Ecco was, she actually did get pretty annoying over the years. At first, when we first met, she seemed tolerable enough. We worked together on various projects. She was even the one who introduced me to the Waynes. Thanks to her, I actually would have never gotten the chance to work with Thomas Wayne. But when I got doused with my brother's insanity gas- 

Jerome: Thank You >:)! 

Jeremiah: Jerome, don't interrupt me. 

Jerome: Don't tell me what to do! You're not our mom! And our mom was a whore! 

*Just as he says this, Bruce and Oswald cover 514A's ears* 

514A: ?

Jeremiah: ANYWAY! She got pretty annoying after I was doused with the gas. I tried to trick her into killing herself by playing Russian Roulette with me. But that just seemed to make things worse. As you all know, she survived. I did try to warn her that her devotion to me might very well be her undoing. And to make matters even more worse, after Bruce returned and she released me after I released that riddle spouting hooligan that stabbed me the knee with half of a paint brush- 

Jerome: *playfully punches Ed's upper arm* You're a badass for doing that to my brother. He really needed that to lift his spirits after Brucie-boy rejected him. 

Ed: Thank you?

Jeremiah: *aims a gun at Jerome* Jerome, I won't ask again! Do not interrupt me! 

Jerome: Then, don't ask! Geez! You're still uptight as ever! Even after 10 years! *walks away* I'll be in my corner if anyone needs me. *Gives Bruce the bird as he walks away* 

Bruce: Oh yeah! Real mature! 

Jeremiah: As I was saying, after I released that riddle spouting hooligan and his penguin boyfriend, we went to the Sirens Club and you all know how that turned out. And now, the reason why I shot her. She called me 'Daddy'. That's why! She had the audacity to call me her father! Something I was hoping Bruce would call me once he and I would be bound together. I had been waiting for that ever since I met him! For him to call MOI that! But no, Ecco had the nerve to steal that opportunity from him! So I punished her for commiting that horrible act... ...BY ENDING HER MISERABLE FUCKING LIFE!!! And I'm hoping I get a better right hand. One that won't steal from me or anyone I LOVE.

Bruce: Why the hell would I ever call you that? *fake gags* 

Jeremiah: I was hoping you would understand. Especially after our 10 year long separation. But I guess you still don't. 

*Both Oswald and Bruce release 514A* 

Oswald: Have fun dealing with Ivy. I'm sure she'll be happy to hear about this. 

Bruce: Yeah, and take it from someone who's seen the more sinister side of her, she is NOT to be taken so lightly. As a matter of fact, she isn't to be messed with AT ALL. She has perfumes and plants and chemicals that can do who knows what to you. 

Jeremiah: *glares at him* Oh you'd know about chemicals that would hurt me, wouldn't you? 

Bruce: *glares back* Hey, I'm not the one who planned on melting the city and ruining it's chances for reunification! You know what your chemical plan ended up succeeding on? Contaminating the water and killing most of the marine life! 

Oswald: Wait what? That really happened? 

Bruce: It's complicated but I promise I'll explain it to you, Ed, & Five in the future at some point. 

Jerome: *buts in* Hey, what about me?

Bruce: YOU get no part in this! *pushes him away* 

Jerome: *walks away with Jeremiah* Tch, and people say I'm rude... 

Jeremiah: Well, you are... 

Jerome: And you're no better! You know, after the 10 years he's been away, he's still a prude that's very rude. 

Jeremiah: Intentional rhyming much? That whole shtick belongs to Mr. Jervis Tetch. 

Jerome: The Hatter guy? Oh my god! I haven't seen him in years! Well, technically because I was dead... but still! How's that sonovabitch doing? 

Jeremiah: He's been doing fine. He shaved his mustache, though. 

Jerome: AWWW~! I liked him when he still had it!
