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

MAGIC COLLAR

V I C T O R I A

They let us go from our trapped state, then two guys came in with a box full of tools. I knew it was for me. The guys plus me and Barbara were on the couch and they looked between me and the two guys, then at Theo. "Come here Victoria" Theo said to me. I looked at Jerome who was sitting next to me with his arm around me. I got up and walked over to them. There was a chair and Theo gestured to me to sit in it. I nodded and sat. The two guys had their tool box opened and the first tool they grabbed was a screwdriver, since the collar was screwed onto me.

Theo put his hands on my shoulders "This is probably going to hurt, so we don't need to strap you down?" He asked. "No, I'll be fine" I said with a monotoned voice. Theo's hands came off of my shoulders. The guys started to unscrew the screws on the collar. I looked at the couch where everyone was sitting and they were all staring at me and what was going on. In total there were 16 screws in that collar.

Theo walked around to looked at me "Are you okay so far?" He asked and I nodded. The guys came around with dummy keys, they started to unlock the collar, there were 6 key locks on the collar, I counted the amount of times I heard and felt the feeling of something being unlocked. "These people really didn't want you to get this thing off" Theo said from behind me. "It almost makes me wonder what you can do" Theo said. "Oh you'll find out once this collars off" I responded.
"This isn't even the worst part"

The guys came out with pliers and started to unlatch the collar, 6 latches. "Alright boss all we have to do is take it off her neck now" one of the guys said. One of the guys started to pull, and I started to wince and groan. "Stop, are you alright?" Theo said. I nodded "keep going" I said. They kept pulling and it hurt so much, it was unbearable. I started to scream, and I saw Jerome stand up in concern. The guys are moving to slow. "Stop" Theo said. And they did. "Boss, we're barely pulling it" the guy said. I was panting, it hurt so much and I knew why. "Keep going" I said out of breath. "Are you sure?" Theo asked. "I need this thing off, now. Keep going" I demanded. They guys kept pulling.
"They're too slow"

I shook my head, I knew this was going to hurt. I shooed the guys hands away and grabbed the collar by myself. Everyone on the couch looked concerned and scared about what I was about to do. I started to pull the collar. I screamed and I ripped the collar off. I breathed heavily, I looked at the collar. "That's why it was so painful for you" Theo said he grabbed the collar. "There about 16 needles connected to each screw" Theo said examining the collar. "Yeah, it hurts as much as it does pulling it out as it does putting it on" I said. "Let me see your neck" Theo said. I moved my hair so he could see. "It healed" he said in disbelief. "One of the greatest joys about being me. I have inhuman healing" I said.

Theo handed the collar back to me. I looked at the needles and then something oozed out of it. The green thick liquid. They had been injecting that stuff into me all this time, making me stronger. "Can I ask you a favor?" I asked Theo. "Of course" he said. I showed him the green liquid. "Can you somehow run a test on this liquid and find out what it is?" I asked. "Of course" he said.
"Finally we're free"

"Now if you don't mind, I think everyone here and myself want to see what abilities you have, since I did sort of tell you and everyone that you are the most powerful here" Theo explained, and I chuckled at him comment. I walked to the center of the room. And turned sideways so everyone could see what I have to offer, even Theo's sister was watching from beside him. It's been a long time since I did this but I try every now and then. I closed my eyes and breathed. I opened my eyes and focused on my powers emerging again like they did before. The green power started coming out {top of the chapter}. I smiled, everyone from the couch stood up in amazement. Theo starts to walk up to me "Now that's power, let's test it" he said.

Tabitha brought in a guy that was tied up. "Kill him with that power" Theo said. I looked at the guy and walked up to him. I smiled, I focused my power on him. He started to scream then his head exploded. The blood splatter got on my face. "Out standing" Theo said. "Tabitha clean this up" Theo ordered his sister. Theo pulled out a towel and started to wipe my face. "Now that is the power that no one else in this room has, but you" Theo said and I smiled.
