INSANE FOR YOU || Jerome Valeska || Gotham || [1]

THE MAN WHO DESTROYED OUR LIVES

V I C T O R I A

We exited the apartment and started walking to Theo's building. We finally reached the building and Selina went in first, so she could open the door for us. A couple of minutes later the door opened revealing Selina out of breath, "Come on in" she said. I smiled at her and she smiled back. We entered the place that was filled with cars, it was the parking garage. We entered the actual building and started going up the stairs. Harvey stopped and looked up, "Oh, for Pete's sake" he said out of breath already. I chuckled to myself and kept walking up the stairs. Once we were closer, we started hearing things. "Death to the Son of Gotham" we heard people chanting. Harvey looked up, "What in the hell is that?" he asked. "Death to the Son of Gotham" the people kept chanting. Jim looked up too, "Nothing good" he said then continued up the stairs. "Death to the Son of Gotham" they chanted again. Harvey waved at Jim, "I'll be right there" he said.

We got up to the place and we all filled it, the people took notice of our presence and stopped the ritual. I stood in front. The old man held the knife tight, "Sacrilege" he yelled. Everyone started  shooting, I raised my hand and my knife came flying out of my holster and through people's necks, killing them slowly. It was me, Jim, Alfred, and Selina fighting the very last guys off. Jim finished the man and looked at Bruce, "Drop the knife, old man. It's over" he said. The old man looked at Jim, "So it would seem" he said. He tried to attack Bruce but was shot. Jim turned around and saw Harvey, "That was a lot of stairs" he said. We all ran over to Bruce. I lifted my hand and my powers untied the ropes in no time. Alfred looked at Bruce, "You all right?" he asked. Bruce looked at him and hugged him. Jim looked around, "Where's Galavan? What did you do?" he asked looking at me. I shook my head, "I didn't just come here to kill Theo. I looked at Bruce, "Hey kid" I said. Bruce came over to me and hugged me and I hugged him. Jim looked confused, "What's happening?" he asked. Bruce looked up at him, "She's my sister" he said. Jim's eyebrows furrowed, "That's impossible" he said. Alfred stepped forward, "It's true. She was adopted by the Dane's from Thomas and Martha" he explained. I looked at him and nodded and so did he. Jim looked at me, "I need your help to find him" he said. I nodded, "I'll kill him if I find him" I said. Jim shook his head, "You can't do that" he said. I nodded, "If you can promise me, he stays behind bars. Until the day he dies then he'll rot in there. I won't kill him. I'll let you do your job. If you can promise me that much" I said. Jim nodded, "I promise. He will stay there for good" he said. I nodded, "Okay, I'll help you find him" I said. Jim shook his head, "What about Penguin?" he asked. I looked up at Jim, "I'll handle him" I said.

Jim and I walked up the stairs trying to find Theo. Jim looked at me, "Where could he be?" he asked. I looked at him, "In his penthouse" I said. We got up there and saw Theo struggling, "Theo Galavan. You're under arrest" Jim said with his gun pointed at Theo. Theo looked at him, "Oh, God. Uh... you scared me, man. I thought you were gonna shoot me" Theo said walking over to him couch. Jim pulled out his cuffs, "Cuff yourself" he said throwing them at Theo. Theo grabbed them and put them on himself, "Well, thank goodness for... simple men of principle. Who believe in the system" he said. Jim put his gun down and walked over to Theo, "This time you'll get the chair" he said picking Theo up and walking him. Theo turned around, "You want to make a bet?" he said chuckling. Jim turned him around and put the gun to Theo's head, "Whoa" he said. Jim looked at him, "Maybe you're right" he said. I smiled and nodded. Theo put his hands up, "Steady now, Jim. I was just talking big, as they say. You caught me fair and square" he said. Jim nodded, "Had you that way the last time. You turned it around" he said. "Jim! Back up. I got him" Captain Barnes said with his guns to us. Barnes looked at us, "Back up, I said" he said. Jim and I backed away from Theo. He looked at Theo, "And you... on your knees. I have a warrant to search these premises. Jim, now, you put your gun on the ground and put your hands on top of your head" he said. Jim lowered his gun, "What?" he asked. Barnes looked at him, "You heard me. You're still a fugitive" he said. Jim shook his head, "Captain, I've done nothing wrong" he said. Barnes looked at him, "I want to believe you, Jim. So we're gonna do this by the book. Put your gun on the ground and let's handle this the right way" he said. He looked at me, "You too" he said. My eyebrows furrowed, "I don't have a gun, dumbass. I am the gun" I said with a smirk. I put my hands up and flicked my fingers and Barnes slammed into the wall, which knocked him out.

I saw Oswald and our man come in, Jim raised his gun to me and Oswald, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, nobody shoot... We are all friends here" he said in my defense. I walked over to Oswald and stood next to him. Jim looked at us both, "Like hell we are. But there we are. Done now. They're still alive. That's something. Look forward now, Jim. What now? I will kill you to get to him if I have to" Oswald said. Jim looked at me, "Victoria what about your promise?" he asked. I shook my head with a smirk, "I don't keep my promises, no one ever kept theirs for me, Jim" I said. Oswald stepped forward, "Forget that this man sicced Barbara Kean on you. Forget that he nearly killed the mother of your child" Oswald said. I stepped forward, "Forget revenge" I said. Oswald nodded, "Think of the greater good. Think of Gotham. He has the courts in his pocket and billions of dollars at his command. Are you 100% sure that he won't beat this and walk free again? Are you sure, Jim? Think of Gotham" Oswald explained. I saw it in Jim's face we made a break through to him. "Captain, Bravo Team in the vicinity of the penthouse"  the radio said. We looked at Jim, "But think fast" Oswald said.

Jim, Oswald and I took Theo into the car and into the trunk. We drove to the docks and opened to trunk, "You're a man of conscience, Jim. You'll regret this" he said as we pulled him out of the trunk. Jim looked at him, "I have many regrets. This won't be top of the list" he said taking him to the edge of the docks. Oswald grabbed the bat. Then we followed Jim and he brought him to his knees. Theo looked up at us, "Oh, well... here we are. Shame. It's gonna be a beautiful morning" he said. Theo looked at Jim, "Good-bye, Jim Gordon" he said. Then he looked at Oswald, "This is for my mother" he said. I watched as Oswald took swings after swings at Theo's body. Then he stopped and looked at me. Theo looked up at me, beaten half to death. I pulled out a knife from my holster and held it. It laid in the palm of my hand, it started to float in mid air. I was so enraged by just looking at his face. He killed the man I loved and he killed my friends mother. "Does this looked familiar to you?" I asked. He looked up at me, "No" he groaned. That mad me even more angry, "It's the knife you killed Jerome with" I said. I balled by fist and flicks my fingers out and the knife went straight into Theo's neck, and the bloody knife came back into my hand, I smiled in victory as he coughed up blood, "that's how he felt" I said. Oswald continued to beat him, "Kill me, please. Please" he pleaded with blood in his mouth. "Enough! That's enough" Jim said pulling Oswald back. I chuckled at the pain Theo was in. Jim brought his gun up and shot Theo. I chuckled and walked next to Jim, "good man" I said. I watched Jim walked away. As Oswald came back with him umbrella and shoved it down Theo's throat. I smiled and I put my hand in Oswalds shoulder, "We did good my friend. Justice has been served for the people we lost" I said looking at the dead body of Theo. I looked at Oswald, "You hungry?" I asked. He looked at me, "Starving, Vickie" he said. I smiled and nodded, "Let's go get something to eat" I said and we walked back to the car.
