Meeting the most beautiful Red pt.01
Dcxdp - Crimson Psyche (JazzxKate)
Jazz had always known that her body was changing after living in a contaminated place at such a young age. But growing a pair of fangs wasn’t anything she had ever expected. Even through her religious research, she had never find anything regarding it.
Well, Her brother also had them, so at least it wasn’t only a ‘Jazz thing’. Besides, it didn’t really bother her for a good chunk of her teenage years, so she had never really paid enough attention to care. Just a sharper canine, that’s it.
Things did change after finding out about Danny’s… situation when he was 14.
The change was drastic after that.
Her brother didn’t really had the thirst since his ghost half was able to convert the ectoplasm to the needed energy. But Jazz hadn’t been so lucky (could she even said that?) Her body was still very much alive, and drinking raw ectoplasm will only give her ecto-poisoning. But no matter how much she drank any form of liquid, her throat was always parched.
So she had to get creative, she began testing out different things as an alternative;
Boiling the ectoplasm simply turned it to gas,
Adding it to food gave her mild food poisoning,
Mixing it with differ materials and even injecting it directly into her bloodstream, none of it worked. It was only the sheer absurdity when she, Danny and her brother’s friends were brainstorming that the scent of Tucker’s meat burger, that was slightly raw, caught her appetite.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when Sam basically shouted how she was like a vampire when it clicked. Ectoplasm was basically a ghost’s blood.
Danny didn’t need blood cus his other half was eating it already,
She doesn’t have that perk,
It clicked after so long… She had to consume blood now to survive,
That was three years ago, the initial disgust had long been buried as Jazz drank from the blood bag.
The appeal to get the permit wasn’t pretty, but after pestering Vlad for a good while; They managed to find a decent blood bank that allowed her to buy some of their stocks on the note that she’ll be working in Gotham as their volunteer/helper. The job wasn’t the most glorious, but she could use her degree and help. So it wasn’t much of a lost if one were to look at the bright side.
Of course she had tried to find other kinds of blood as a replacement, but the closest was a pigs blood, and they weren’t the most fulfilling though they taste the same. It was more of a snack than an actual meal.
“Dr. Fenton,” the guard greeted her, a cheeky smile on his face “How was the meal?”
“Shush it Danny, you know its weird when you call me by that title”
“But it’s work etiquette ~” Her little brother everyone,
“Whatever, just make sure to not scare the patients too much this time, I actually would like to do my job for once”
Danny had followed her to Gotham and took the guard job after a close call the previous year. No matter how she might have showed her displeasure, she was grateful at the help. Things around her had been pretty weird to say the least, it was like the city it self was trying to end her.
Though she was a bit pissed since she was being babied by her baby brother.
“Fine, fine. Its not my fault you got into so much trouble-and so often, lately, and there I thought I was the problem attracting sibling”
“Okayyyy!!! Geez,” he pouted, grumbling all the way to the treatment room.
Jazz could only sighed at that, She would like to say that she could her handle herself pretty well from a day to day bassist. The training from their mom and the fact being a vampire has its perks.
BUT!!! The fact that the asylum was the center of a concentrated attack was not her fault. The fact that she found out that she was severely weak to a mere Gas was also not her fault!! That was like- unfair!
“So what happened with the Dame that rescued you last week after the outbreak? Any progress?” Danny smirked,
“None of your business ,”
“Aw come on~ you were definitely falling for the Dame, you were all goo goo - gaa gaa eyes on her, need to make sure she isn’t another Johny situation you know~”
“Fine, fineeeee. But Im gonna pre order an ‘I told you so!’ If she is”
“Oh wow, full name. Scaryy~” Jazz wants to bury her brother’s head into the ground just to wipe that smirk off of his face. “We’re here,”
Jazz took a deep breath as they arrived at the treatment room. Danny’s smile also dropped as they stood in front of the door.
Or more often known as “The Joker”
One of the most complicated patient the asylum have ever housed. Even has a track record of influencing the Doctors that tried to treat him. How fun… Jazz took her clipboard and nodded to Danny to signal him to open the door.
Though she was infuriated by her brother’s teasing, she knows she could count on him if the Joker decide to do something UN-funny and tries to break out. Wouldn’t be the first time if he did, she was sure it wouldn’t be last either, though she severely hope it was.
