I sat in my chair in front of my mirror, getting ready for tonight. I was a little confused as to what we were going to do after tonight. Theo never gave us anything about afterwards. We become stars, then what? Surely Jerome had something in mind.

Jerome came in my room when I finished curling my hair. "You ready, gorgeous?"

"Yeah." I said quietly.

"It's gonna be amazing," Jerome said, taking my wrist and pulling me out the chair. He began to dance with me. "After tonight, everyone in Gotham will know our names." He said.

"Yeah, but then what?" I asked quietly. Jerome knitted his eyebrows at me. "We become stars, then what?"

He smiled at me. "Then it's just you and me, baby."

"You mean, like-"

"We'll ditch Galavan and terrorize Gotham to our hearts content. Ooh! Maybe I'll go after my brother" He exclaimed, then laughed at the thought.

"You have a brother?" I asked him. "Yeah, he's a total dud. I'm pretty sure he's hiding from me somewhere right now. I'm not sure."

"Huh." I say. What would Jerome Valeska's brother be like?

"You guys almost ready?" Tabitha asked at the door. "No, because Jerome's distracting me." I said, putting a stop to our dancing and pushing him out my room.
