17-year-old Emily Sterling loses her parents in a fatal car crash. She then moves with her aunt Matilda, who works as a clown with Haly's Circus. There, she meets the handsome and mysterious Jerome Valeska, and unexpectedly, falls in love with him u...
"Victor, stop! You're not acting like yourself! Stop!" I yell aloud at Zsasz. Victor was attacking me under the orders of Jervis Tetch. I had no other choice but to electrocute Victor. It helped me for the moment but other than that, I needed to stop Jervis. I wish I had been careful of Zsasz. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be hypnotized.
Earlier That Evening "All we know is that he is holed up there and he will release more of that toxin if we don't stop him. Victor, you and Emily go high up and Harvey and I will stay below. Are we clear?" Jim asks. I grab my stash of weapons and suit up. "Yes, sir Captain No-Fun. Let's go, brown eyes." Victor says to me. I say nothing to Jim or Harvey so I walk away. My mind is racing with thoughts of my children and Jervis. Victor and I set up shop in the building on top of a ledge. "You scared of the height?" Victor asks. I am looking down at the building. There are a few lights and most of the street is empty.

"It's not scary. Remember, I can fly if I fall down." Victor rolls his eyes. "Of course, flaunt your powers like you always do." Victor hands me a walkie-talkie and starts setting up a machine gun to aim for whoever comes through the door. "Bullock, We just entered. No sign of Tetch anywhere. Anything for you? Over." I ask Harvey. "Nothing yet. Jim and I separated to have a better spread. I'll let you know what we see. Over." I then sit next to Victor, who is looking at the building. "What's on your mind?" Victor asks me. "I feel incomplete. I have everything I want: children, money in the bank, a home, high paying job, an education, but I'm lacking one thing: the father of my children. My husband." Victor moves closer to me. "Do you really miss him?" "Of course. He was my husband, no matter how screwed up he was. Every day, I wake up; hoping that he's next to me. That me witnessing his death was all a bad dream and that he's still alive somew. So, yes. I do miss him." Victor kept looking at me. I didn't know what his angle was but he was trying to move his face closer to mine. "Woah, Victor. I thought that-" "I hate girls? I hate some but you are an exception." Victor grabs me and begins to kiss me. As comforting as I felt, I knew that it was wrong. I pushed Victor away from me. He then tries to grab me from behind and throw me over the building. "Victor, stop! What the hell?!" Victor wasn't paying attention to me. He felt like he was in a trance. Wait a minute. Suddenly, I hear laughter coming from the side. As I hit Victor, I look over to see Jervis Tetch, laughing. "Simple fool. You thought that he loved you? If only you had gone to his home three days earlier like I did." It finally clicked. Tetch paid a visit to Victor and hypnotized him to try to kill me tonight. I hit Victor with my elbow and do a backflip to secure myself from the edge of the building. Victor was deadset in trying to kill me. I start running inside the building and I call out to Jim or Harvey. I see Harvey but before I ask him to help me, he proceeded to shoot me with his gun. I yelp and jump off the catwalk bridge and land on my feet. I'm yelling for Jim but I hear nothing. What the hell am I going to do now? Both Harvey and Victor turned against me and I can't find Jim. My thoughts are interrupted when I am knocked over the head with a metal pipe.
An Hour Later
"Wake up! I need for you to be focused!" I hear someone shouting. It was Jervis, pacing back and forth in front of me. I was tied up with chains and rope and duct tape was on my mouth. I kept yelling but nothing was coming out. Jervis smiles at me and says, "My, dear. No one can hear you and no one will come to your rescue. All of your friends are under my spell and no one knows where you are. Now, you and I have some business that we must attend to." My mind was racing. I need to get out of here. Jervis walks up to me and takes the tape off from my mouth. Jervis looks at me and says, "A woman with your kind of power needs a strong and equally powerful man by her side. My love, you need me." I was horrified by what I was hearing. "You know nothing about me and what I need." I sneer at him. Jervis chuckles and walks up towards me. He grabs my face and plants a kiss on my lips. I become paralyzed. I am unable to fight back.
