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

KNOCK-OUT GAS

V I C T O R I A

I didn't sit with Jerome much longer, he went to go sit with the other crazies. Minutes after that a gorgeous blonde entered Arkham, in fancy clothing. Half an hour later she came and all the guys started to whistle at her, just like they used to do to me, that is until they figured out what I did to half of the guards here. I was the only one not whistling at her.
"What do you think she's in for?"
"I don't know, but I'll find out" I thought. The blonde sat down next to me. "Hi I'm Barbara" She said smiling at me and held her hand out for me to shake it. "Victoria, nice to meet you" I said shaking her hand. "Patient D-340 take your hand away from her!" The guard yelled. I rolled my eyes and looked at him, "Make me" I said. Jerome looked at me with a smile then looked back at the guard that looked too scared to do anything, than looked back at me and I winked at him. I turned my head back to pay attention to Barbara.
"Ask what she is in for?"
"What are you in for?" I asked following the voice in my head. "Killing my parents" She said smiling at me. "Me too, plus mass murder, bombs, and arson. Can't forget those" I said smiling. "So that's why everyone is so scared of you" She said looking around the room and seeing that everyone looking at me fear. "Except for that ginger" She said pointing at Jerome. "He's someone that I just met today. I'm in isolation, I'm technically not supposed to be in here, but the doctor said we should give it a try" I said looking at Barbara. "I think you're going to be my best friend" She said smiling at me. " I don't do friends, but for you I'll make an exception" I said smiling at her.

The next day, we were in the rec room. Specifically Jerome and I, Barbara and Sionis, Aaron and Dobkins, and Greenwood. Barbara was laying on Sionis while Aaron was painting her toe nails red, Jerome had his arm around my shoulder. Greenwood was sitting on the other side of Jerome. Greenwood had kept on staring at me. "Hey Greenwood, keep staring at my girl and I'll kill you" Jerome said to Greenwood. "Not if I beat you to it" I said leaning over Jerome so Greenwood could hear me. Then I slumped into the side of Jerome getting closer to him. "Get more comfortable gorgeous, that means I can stay here all day with you by me" Jerome whispered into my ear. It sent chills down my spine, I had never felt anything like this before. "Thanks I will" I said smiling at him and then leaning more into Jerome.

"Someone tell me a funny story" Barbara said. I raised my eyebrows in amusement. "I have a good one" Sionis said. Jerome and I looked at each other and smiled. Then started paying attention to Sionis. "So when I was in college, I played for the varsity polo team and I had a... a string of ponies" Sionis explained. I was focused on the guy the quards just brought into the rec room. "Greetings!" The guy said. Sionis dropped his hand onto the table. The guy had his hands up. "I am Zaardon, the Soul Reaper" The guy said. "You have got to be kidding me" I whispered. "So I had these ponies..." Sionis said, then we all turned our attention away from the guy and back to him. "And the maître d' says, "You can't bring them in here" Sionis says only to be interrupted by the guy again. "Hear me, slaves" He said then everyone in the room turned theor attention to the guy acting like an idiot.
"This guy is a clown"
"Tell me about it" I thought. "My patience is wearing thin. Surrender your souls to my mercy, or I swear by the master, I shall feast on your pain" He said standing up on the table. Barbara and I looked at each other in disbelief that this was happening. "I shall gorge on your torment. I shall crush you like a bug" He said, then he started coughing.
"More like gagging"
He collapsed on the table and a weird blue gas started to come out of his mouth, and it started to fill the room. All of the people at our table got up and backed away. Jerome had me in his arms. Everyone started to breath in the air, and coughing. It felt like we were falling asleep. Jerome and I collapsed onto the table still in each others arms, when we blacked out.
