Darling-Jeremiah Valeska

Chapter~9•

We exited the tunnel where the cold breeze hit us, the smell of smoke hit her nose as Jeremiah continued to lead her down a path. She noticed people standing in corner's and turf's being fought over, she kept thinking 'Me and Jeremiah caused all of this.' It was crazy to think that about 10 months ago the city was normal and gangs weren't fighting over turfs, people weren't desperate for food or anything or the sort's. Alice was pulled out of her thought when Jeremiah started to speak to her. 

"What?" She asked turning to look at him, Jeremiah sighed before smiling again. "Lost in thought again hmm" He purred, stepping closer to her. "Yes actually" She paused smiling a bit "I was thinking about how almost ten months ago Gotham was normal and we turned Gotham into a mad house in just a day" Jeremiah looked away and faintly smiled thinking back how he and Alice changed Gotham in under 24 hours. Turning his gaze back to Alice he put a hand on her face rubbing circles on her cheeks with his thumb. 

"Well we do have something to attend to Darling" Jeremiah said before turning around and fixing his suit jacket. Alice hummed through her lips taking Jeremiah's hand in her's and locking their fingers. Jeremiah opened a door stepping aside to let Alice walk inside, Jeremiah walked in after her walking behind her watching as Alice looked at the makeshift dinner set up. Alice smiled and walked closer touching the cloth of the table before turning around. "Did you do all this J?" She asked walking over to him and hugging him without thought. 

Jeremiah hummed and nodded softly before wrapping his arms around Alice which was almost imposable as she was 5'6 and he was 6'0 so she only went up to his shoulder well barley. "I thought it would be nice to get out of that manor and go out" Jeremiah hummed pushing Alice back a bit before grapping her chin in-between his index finger and thumb, tilting her head up so she looked into his eyes.

"Now about about dinner." Alice smiled and nodded, turning around and walking toward the table. She never thought Jeremiah was the type to be a romantic but here she was. Jeremiah pulled the chair out for her before pushing her in and going to take his seat.

After Alice and Jeremiah finished their food Jeremiah stood up and walked to Alice holding out his hand for her, Alice took his hand as Jeremiah started to walk back to the door they entered from. When they stepped out Jeremiah reached in his coat pocket taking out a gun. "Here Darling" Alice looked up to him and raised a brow "What" Jeremiah looked down to her "Oh my dear were going to have some....fun" He looked forward as a wolf would when they see a deer or maybe a sheep. Alice took the gun and held it by her thigh as she walked behind Jeremiah. Alice watched a Jeremiah took his gun from his jacket walking up to two men fighting. 

"Hello.." Jeremiah paused looking at the men like they were below him and not even worthy to be in his presence, he cleared his throat "Gentlemen" The men looked at him and their eyes wide realizing who was standing in front of them. "H-hello" One of the men stuttered out, Alice appeared beside Jeremiah looking at the men. The one that spoke had brown blonde hair with brown eyes, he had white hair growing in while the other man looked younger than him by maybe 15 years. The younger one had black hair and green eyes he almost looked like a cat to Alice. 

She went to Jeremiah and tapped his shoulder, when Jeremiah looked down to Alice she whispered something to him. The men were now looking at Alice, she didn't look like a girl to be running around with the infamous Jeremiah Valeska. Maybe he was using her and would kill her when she was no longer needed or wanted. Both men looked at each other before turning their gaze back to the couple before them. Jeremiah looked at the girl before him with surprise and shock at what she had told him, she smirked to Jeremiah before rubbing a hand on his arm.

"So what do you think J?" She purred holding her gun out to where the men could see it. The men paled and just gulped as they saw the gun in her hand, the men were silently praying in there minds in hope they wouldn't die. Jeremiah thought for a moment before answering her. "I don't see the harm, dear" Jeremiah answered looking back at the men he noticed that they almost looked as white as him. He laughed under his breathe before Alice raised her arm with the gun in it.
