Nico: hey uh.. do you wanna share that cookie?
Karolina: huh? wait.. Ooooh
Nico: oh nevermind. uh I thought.. sorry
Karolina: no! no! GAY! ME, GAY!
Nico: oh! uh me gay too!
Karolina: that's great
Karolina: ...
Karolina: cookie?
Gert in the background: yeah, she's terrible at this
excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lady and savior Gertrude Yorkes?
Words can't explain how much I ship Gert and Chase, in the comics, in the show, just every scene they have together kills me, I can't wait to see them get closer week after week and then to see them kiss and date and love each other with a burning passion of one thousand suns
moodboard: Marvel’s TV Series Runaways (2017-)
“Finding out my mom is evil would actually be the least surprising explanation.”
Runaways (2017) #6
Gertchase Drabble
Episode 6 was a let down on the GertChase front so I thought I write a drabble.
They’d been discussing how and when to release the tapes incriminating their parents.
“We could do it now. Get it over with.” Karolina brazenly said.
Chase looked over to Karolina who was staring at everyone with annoyance.
“I just think we should let the whole affair scandal with our parents die down a little.” Nico quietly added.
Karolina blew out an annoyed breath.
“What is going on with everyone? Up until last night everyone was on board. Now everyone seems distracted or against taking our parents down.” She turned to Nico and continued. “I get that this affair has your family in a wreck, but what changed? You were so ready to take her down.” Nico opened her mouth as if to answer but shut it and looked away. Karolina looked to Alex who shook his head and then to Molly who shrugged her shoulders timidly. She seemed to be stressed and this conversation seemed to be weighing down on her. Karolina looked to Chase who was standing beside her.
“I kind of agree with Nico.” Chase said under his breath as he looked away from Karolina’s accusing eyes.
“Gert. Back me up here.” Karolina said looking to her purple haired friend.
Who at the moment was staring down at her phone with a smile on her face.
“GERT!” Karolina whispered in hard tone.
Gert’s mirth filled eyes changed into confusion.
“What?!” She quipped with annoyance.
Karolina looked at Gert with a confused slightly irritated expression.
“The tapes. We should release them right?”
“Yeah, agreed. The sooner the better. We don’t want them killing someone else.” Gert replied causing Karolina to smile.
Gert’s phone pings causing her to look down at her phone with a huge smile. Chase couldn’t remember the last time he saw Gert smile that wide at anything or anyone besides himself. He felt a small twinge in his stomach as he watched as her eyes lit up and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. He watched as she chewed on her glossed lip as she texted. Who could possibly cause Gert to act like this?
“Look we’ve got class in 5. I say we pick this up after.” Alex said causing Chase to look away from Gert. Everyone nodded in agreement. The group quickly dispersed.
Chase watched as Gert and Molly walked away together. He followed close behind the pair of sisters.
“Is that the guy from last night?” Molly asked with a grin on her face.
Chase felt the small dip in his stomach again.
What guy from last night? He thought she was supposed to be helping Nico and Alex not meeting some guy. Chase felt weird.
“Maybe.” Gert replied with a teasing tone. Which he knew was a yes.
“He’s really funny and smart. We are like totally on the same level.” Gert said with excitement.
Chase felt like his stomach was filling with sand. He didn’t know what to make of this. Gert with some random guy was not sitting well with him.
“Gert do you think you can help me study for my Spanish test?” He didn’t know what came over him but it just tumbled out of him.
Gert turned around quickly with surprise written all over her face.
“Please.” He added.
Gert quirked a brow and said.
“As long as you promise to show up.” She said with a smile.
Chase felt a small pang in his chest. Her smile was different. She wasn’t beaming at him like she usually did. He didn’t know if his smile faltered but he tried to act like he wasn’t upset.
“I’ll come to your house. You won’t have to wait for me I promise.” Chase replied eagerly.
Gert smiled again and it was wider, brighter even, but it wasn’t his smile. Chase felt the pang harder this time.
“Bueno. Nos vemos mas tarde.” Gert’s replied as she walked away. Her spanish response left Chase confused but none the less the pang in his chest turned to a small tightening he couldn’t explain. He watched as Gert walked away only to be interrupted by someone clearing their throat. He looked to find Molly giving him a small smirk and amused twinkle in her eyes. Molly began to giggle as she ran off to follow Gert.
gertchase fic based on the last episode of the season.
so yeah,based on the last episode, an answer from the whole runawaysanswertime a few days back and @rowansdagger writing prompt post,specifically #91. ‘ can i hold your hand?’.
Next to him in the close confines of the Church of Gibborim's van gert is stiff, but every few seconds she quivers,her breaths are shallow and too quick.turning on the trash bag they’re sharing as a pillow to look; her eyes are squeezed shut tightly-like she's bracing herself for impact or protecting herself from some kind of horrifying attack. Seeing gert like this-it scares him,cause for the most part gert is fearless and fierce,she’s a silent storm,calm and then biting strong winds,loud crackling thunder and pelting bombardment of pulverizing rain.now though, shes making herself small,curled up like a closed armadillo,hands clutching his coat-he draped it over her earlier since she gave her blanket to karo and nico to share-God this girl.
gert let out a wet whimper and it breaks everything in him,reaching out, his large hesitant hand,he turns her over to face him,and gert’s is a deer in headlights-how much can he break?.quietly as not to scare her further or to break the silence ,he picks her hand and lays it low on his abdomen, under his palm.
4,7,8 he breathes,while gert watches and feels the calming rhythm under their hands.slowly,so slowly ,the panic recedes from her eyes,and bit by bit she uncurls and than her breathing begins to match his own.till shes just laying there next to him,face and form leaning towards him,eyes shiny and trusting and hesitant -she’s all soft and vulnerable-open to him.and chase wants to clutch her to him,give her every ounce of security and warmth and love in him but right now gert doesn't need to be enclasped,she needs that little distance between them,she needs to just hold his hand and see him-needs space and the connection they have right now.And as her chase,he will be what she needs,especially in moments like these.
it’s in the wee hours of the morning, molly holds in a giggle,those two-could they be any more in wuv, sharing a pillow,turned towards the other,gert’s palm on his lower abdomen under chase’s. ugh luvy dovey gross,and eww they're hands must be all sweaty too.wait that coat gert’s clutching to her-it’s chases.there’s a bubble of giddiness and the soft, cozy warmth filling her up once again from seeing them like this. this feels like old times,gert and chase,gert chase and molly it’s home,all thats' missing is their beloved dinosaur.
when gert wakes up,it’s to see chase,his eyes -all doe like looking at her-that look ,it makes her blush and hurriedly she gets up and goes outsidefor air and to probably on molly.and the sorry sap that he is,he’s left with a pained smile cause-gert does feel something for him,she feels safe with him but she’s holding back and running away,no matter. he isn't going to push her, there will be a moment for all that later but till than he’ll be here for her.
it’s still sunny and they're hurdled up God knows where, molly’s is pressed against gert,her head buried in the crook of her sisters’ neck.The two leaning against the dinosaur, now named Old Lace.its cute,adorable and yeah,he’s a puddle of goo.and it's at that very moment when he’s the puddle of chase goo,that gert’s green eyes,catches his and wordlessly she holds up her hand-palm up.voice low and hesitant when she asks ,’’can i hold your hand?’ and okay now he’s a puddle of goo.there is nothing more vulnerable than asking to hold someone’s hand,and this is strong defensive gert asking - meaning it’s even more. gert doesn't leave herself open to be hurt and rejected,but still she asks to hold his hand.thus,Chase can feel his face, all soft and smiling warmly at her, he knows he’s red so, quickly and steadily he takes her hand,settles next to her - she’s warm and he once again he’s feels home,she and molls and now Old Lace are home.he eye’s her reaction and she’s awkwardly shy and cute but she’s seems serene now compared to minutes before,before his hand held hers.
so here they are,after hours of running and dogging the public cause -now the five of them are America's most wanted,they're hidden away in some scheduled area -nico and karo are curled up diagonally to the right right and Alex, sitting a little ways ahead,hands in pocket. gert next to him,his hand holding hers,molly on her right-cuddling into her,and old lace; a steady leathery and cool assurance of safety and protection at their backs.
let me know if any of you like the fic.
p.s if there’s anyone who can polish this or just wants to work on a gertchase collab,inbox me.
I am so hapoy that Runaways decided to make the parents the good guys, but still have them do the dubious shit they did in the comics. It brings a new light to their reasoning and adds so many layers of characterization to them
