Beautifully Twisted - {A Jerome/Gotham Story}

As Time Moves On

Running through the halls of Arkham, just hearing the echoes of past inmates rattling the walls it seems, really haunts a person. My hand is firmly within Jerome's tight grip, his sinister smirk lighting up his entire face, his green eyes seeming to gaze through me like nothing else can.

And then a light appears at the end of the hall, seeming like a way of escaping. But knowing in my heart, that it certainly was no escape. It's never that easy.

"Jerome. Stop!" Suddenly, his foot steps stopped at my sudden scream, only it was too late. Someone appeared from within one of the seemingly empty rooms, knocking him over the head with a loud thud. The blood of the guard still covering us, even more seemed to appear on Jerome from the sudden hit as my eyes instantly watered, falling to my knees to shake and shake and shake him.

"Jerome! Jerome!!! Wake up...." My eyes traveled the dark hall in front of me, my mind going haywire as to what I should do. He's not waking up. He's not waking up!

"Oh don't cry doll! I'm perfectly okay..." I screamed from Jerome's sudden voice, jumping back slightly upon seeing him fully risen from the ground like nothing ever happened. But tons of blood covering his entire body. His mouth had trails of blood on both sides, a evil laugh escaping him.

"Jerome...."

"Ana! Wake up doll. Why did you have to go and pass out on me again?? I thought we were having fun..." Jerome's sudden chuckle awoke me from my deep sleep, my heart racing from that damned dream. What on earth was that about....?

"There she is! There for a while I thought I broke my dolly." His sudden laugh actually made a giggle escape me as I came back to myself, looking around our new hideout since leaving Arkham. Yes, we actually made it out okay. Although a whole bus of villains is now upon Gotham. And it's pretty entertaining.

My dad, Bruce, Alfred, Jim and Mr. Fox all made it out okay as well. My dad is actually helping Harvey at the GCPD while Jim goes off to search for Lee. Which is what I was hoping he'd do.

3 months have passed now since all that. My eyes met Jerome's, seeing a big, happy smile on his cute face. And my smile grew even more as his hands landed on my stomach, his beautiful green eyes seeming to shine with happiness. I never thought Jerome would want to be a father...
