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

SANE IN THE BRAIN

V I C T O R I A

It felt like forever, like years had gone by. Jeri was arrested and I knew Bruce would go to her. Selina said she and Bruce are living on the streets, something about Bruce wanting to know the ropes, Oswald got out of Arkham and visited Ed. Ed called me right after. Jim got arrested. And last of all, and the one I truly care about, Barbara woke up. Through all of this I haven't stopped thinking about her, what she means to me. I hadn't been able to visit her, through everything, I had been so busy and I couldn't even visit her. But now she's back and I have no idea what to do. My name had gone down at the GCPD. I wasn't their top priority so they gave up on me entirely. No more searches, no more wanted signs, I was free. All that's missing in my life is Jerome, I miss him so much. But I can't turn back the clock and get him back but at least I avenged him.

Just got news that Jim broke out, sorry Ed. But I have my own worries. Oswald had then had found his family and then his father died, poor thing. He still hasn't tried to reach out to me, so I won't make a phone call. A couple of days later, Ed got captured and put into Arkham, I'll have to visit him. I'm currently living in my house again finally, I missed it. I heard a knock at the door. I got up and walked to the door and opened it, there she was. Barbara Kean. I was surprised, "Barbara?" I asked. She smiled, "hi, Vickie" she said. I smiled and let her in. I sat down across from her, "Why are you here?" I asked. She smiled and looked down, "I wanted to see you, we left off, unfinished, in my opinion" she said nervously. I shook my head, "Barbara, you know who my heart belongs to. And I love you as a friend" I explained. Barbara nodded, "I understand, I just really wanted to see you. I thought about you a lot when I was asleep. Our friendship" she said smiling. I smiled and grabbed her hand, "I'm sorry I didn't visit you. I was really busy" I said. She nodded, "it's okay, I heard you killed Theo" she said. I chuckled, "it was me and Oswald, with the help of Jim" I said. She nodded, "you avenged him" she said. I smiled, "yes I did" I said.

I wanted to see Ed, he was a good friend and I know what it's like in that place, the first couple of days. I drove to Arkham. I sat down in the visiting room waiting for them to get Ed. The guard acme back with Ed in his strong hold. Ed looked at me and smiled. He sat down, "Victoria, it's so great to see you" he said. I smiled and nodded, "it's good to see you again too Ed. How have you been in here?" I asked. He looked around then back at me, "are you aware of what's going on underground?" He whispered. I leaned in, "how do you know about that?" I asked. He looked at me in disbelief, "so you do know" he said. I nodded, "well yes, that's where I was experimented on" I said. He smiled, "I'm going to break out of this place" he said. I nodded, fully supporting him, "your best bet are the vents" I said. He nodded, "thank you my friend" he said. I got up and left.

I got back to my house and took a shower since it was already night time. I got out and dried myself off. I put on a black tank top with a black sweater over it, and black shorts. I walked to the living room with dinner and sat one the couch. "The masked assassin that attacked the GCPD earlier tonight has been identified as former mayor Theo Galavan. Now, there were reports that the assassin was forced off the roof, then fell right over there, then stood up in front of all of us. And it was him, Theo Galavan, alive. And from what we know, he's responsible for three officer fatalities. We also learned that he is still at large and is considered extremely dangerous" the reporter said on the tv.

I couldn't believe it, he's alive again. I felt like screaming. I put my plate down on the table in front of me. I looked at Theo's face on the tv, my hand balled up and the tv shattered. I got up and walked over to the phone and dialed a number. "Hello?" Oswald's voice came through the phone, he sounded angry. "Hello Oswald" I said. He chuckled, "I'm guessing you saw the news" he said. I scoffed, "looks like we're going to have to kill this son of a bitch again" I said with a smile on my face. He chuckled, "it appears so" he said. I exhaled and smiled, "this time. We have to make sure he can't come back" I said. I heard Oswald chuckle again, "I know. And I know a way we can make that happen" he said.
