Could you maybe please do platonic j squad x child prodigy ballerina 🫵😔
Ps I love all your Gotham stuff🫵😁
Of course! And thank you! Also, I haven't really been into any Gotham stuff for a while, so apologies if my writing for it is a little rusty.
PLATONIC J-SQUAD WITH CHILD PRODOGY BALLERINA! READER
Ballet has always been a huge part of your life. It's your passion; something you are extremely talented at. So when you're basically taken in by the J-Squad, that fact doesn't change in the slightest.
You don't involve yourself in their schemes much, if ever, unless it's more behind the scenes. You're way too busy with practice and rehearsals. Besides, wanted criminals can't really.
Plus, wanted criminals can't really take up being a professional allerina as a profession, so there's also that.
Speaking of practice, they’re all normally busy coming up with plans and causing chaos in Gotham, so they have a schedule in place for whose turn it is to drop you off and/ or pick you up from practice. That is, unless you’re old enough to where they trust you to drive.
Jonathan is normally the one who brings you to and fro the most since he has a freer schedule than the other two, as well as the fact that he can blend in a lot better since it can be hard for him to be recognised without the scarecrow getup. He does make sure to keep a low profile and ear cloths that make it hard for people to get a good feel for his appearance, just to be safe.
Jonathan is known by the dance studio as well as your friends as your legal guardian. Since he’s way too young to be your dad, you just say he’s your older brother ( Which, in all honesty, he basically is at this point).
When it’s Jerome or Jervis’ turn, they’ll normally wait at a hidden-away spot that you’ll leave the dance studio and head to in order to meet them.
Either that or they’ll get a goon/ hypnotized civilian to get you if they’re way too busy at the moment.
All three of them enjoy listening to both your excited rambles, as well as your frustrated rants, when it comes to how practice went/ has been going. Jerome and Jervis want all the tea, while Jonathan doesn’t really care. He just enjoys hearing you talk.
There is also the facet that all three of them have also, at one point, when discussing with you about your day, asked the question: “ You want me to get rid of them for you?” When speaking about a kid in your class who was especially disruptive, rude, or difficult.
In which you would just respond with “ Nah. It’s fine. The performance is coming up soon anyway, and I really don’t want me and the others to have to spend the next three weeks reworking the whole routine.”
Them going to your performances can also be chaotic sometimes. But they’re always wearing disguises, and at least one of them always attends.
Sometimes, goons even come as well, but that raises the chance of them being noticed, which, if they are, sends the whole theater into a panic, and the show gets canceled, which upsets you, especially if you haven’t gotten the chance to perform yet.
Overall, the three of them can be a real nuisance sometimes, but no matter what, you’ll always have their full support when it comes to your career and ambitions.
Warning: (This jervis has not commited incest with his sister because I say so)
Summary: Y/N, a periodist who sells information to Barbara and one of her closest friends gets invited to her club one night because Barbara wants her to meet certain hypnotist.

------------------------------
You've been friends with Barbara kean for a few years now. You met her when she was still in a relationship with Gordon and since he was always so busy with work she had time to hang out with you anytime. That helped you both develop your friendship, you provided your undivided attention to her and she often rewarded you with juicy gossip.
Even after everything that happened involving the murder of her parents and whatever she had with galavan, your friendship didn't end.
When she took over the Sirens, her new and trendy club, you were always ready to help her with anything she needed, any favour...
If you and Barbara had something in common was your love for good gossip so when she needed certain information you would gladly obtain it for her as long as she gave you free drinks for life in her club.
You always were seen as someone completely normal, your personality was bright and it really made you stand out but your looks? They were very ordinary, you could easily blend in in a crowd.
That was your biggest weapon, you went unnoticed almost everywhere. Most people didn't even look at you twice so thanks to that you were starting to rise as one of the best information dealers of gotham.
You would spend your time having a routine to mask your extracurricular activities and when no one would suspect you, you would go out and basically stalk whoever was your next target.
Tabitha and Barbara really valued you as their ally, and they knew how bored you felt so whenever they had some good show prepared for their clients, they would invite you.
Lately you hadn't been showing up, which was strange because you loved the free drinks; so Barbara came up with a plan.
She had just hired a man named Jervis Tetch, an hypnotist, a little novelty after months of musicians... she knew you would like it, plus she had been trying very hard to get you on blind dates lately so when she saw her chance, she took it.
Your friend messaged you one afternoon something ambiguous but urgent 'come to the club, doll yourself up'. Having nothing better else to do that day you decided to comply with whatever strange plan she had in mind.
Tabitha was still there, if things went out of hand she could still talk some sense into Barb.
You entered her club wearing a blue nightgown, a sparkly gown that hugged your body just right.
Looking around, people seemed to be waiting for the show of the night and the only sounds on the building where hushed conversations and the click of the heels
Though you were absolutely breathtaking, your face had a frown in it and the moment Barbara saw it her face fell from an awed expression to a scolding one.
Impatient were the first words you gave her "Barb, babe, I have a shit ton of files to store, what's so important that you desperately need me" She lightly tapped your forehead "And your files will still be there after tonight. You haven't been coming to your usual visits here, Tabi is starting to miss you" The blond woman nudged your shoulder.
As if on cue, Tabitha appeared next to Barbara "She's exaggerating, she just wants to show you something tonight" Rolling her eyes Barbara responded quickly "More like someone" The suggestiveness in her tone was evident.
You pinched the bridge of your nose "You brought me here because you want to set me up on a date? Come on, you know I'm tired of boring people." Your friend only laughed "I have a feeling you will find this one engaging. He's the hypnotist we have here tonight, give it a chance, you'll enjoy the show"
Barbara's gaze seemed to go to someone who was entering the club and her smile quickly spread "Wait here" After that, you asked for your first drink of the night, Tabitha did the same and both of you started a conversation on how was the business going and joking about if it was worth it to give you free drinks considering your drinking habits.
Immediately after laughing with the dark haired woman, Barbara arrived accompanied by a very attractive man. He was well dressed with beautiful long hair that ended on his shoulder with soft curls, a nice mustache and deep dark eyes.
Barbara introduced the man to me "Y/N darling, this is Jervis Tetch, the incredible hypnotist" She made a gesture with her hands to accompany the presentation.
"Very nice to meet you Ms Y/N; Ms Kean hadn't told me that such a beautiful guest would be here tonight" Tetch said this while extending his hand to Y/N
Y/N took it while raising an eyebrow "So an hypnotist? Very interesting..." Jervis looked at you with a sudden interest glowing in his eyes "Don't you like hypnotism, Ms Y/N?" You chuckled lightly while taking a sip of your drink.
"Honestly I never believed in that, I think it's for feeble minded people… but hey, maybe you can prove me wrong" The mocking tone didn't annoy the man, instead his smile became wider "Ah! A skeptic... well Ms Y/N I'm eager to prove you wrong" His gaze remained fixed on you for a few seconds more and he finally mumbled "I hope you enjoy the show"
He went to the backstage to prepare himself all while your friends made some comments on your skepticism.
It surprised you that Tabitha didn't immediately agree with you, you never took her for someone who believed in that kind of stuff but seeing her so sure of that man made you give it a chance.
The lights went off, only the stage was illuminated and in the center of it there was Jervis Tetch, the man of the night, as Barbara put it.
He started presenting himself as he had done the previous nights and asked for a few volunteers, some people were eager to participate and Jervis would gladly pull them onto the stage and make his little show.
After a few rounds of asking for volunteers, he decided that he wanted to show something more to the public than those cheap laughs born at the expense of the hypnotized people.
"For the next act I want to offer a demonstration of my ability to those who doubt" His gaze held yours for a few moments before he turned to the rest of the public. "I need one last volunteer, one with a strong mind that wants the definitive proof that this is not a cheap charade." While he pretended he was looking at random volunteers, his eyes were obviously going back to yours every few seconds.
Before you could do nothing, you felt a little push behind you making you lose balance and stumble a few steps forward. You looked behind and saw Tabitha and Barbara smiling at you, your blond friend raised her glass while Tabitha gave you a look that screamed 'go along with it or she won't stop'.
Jervis, seeing his opportunity, quickly announced "We have a volunteer!! Come on the stage dear, let us see who's brave mind will be tested." After another quick and half angry glare at your friends you started going towards the stage while mouthing to Barbara "I'm going to kill you "
Of course you weren't serious, Barbara knew your temper and she only laughed with Tabitha about your inconvenience.
Jervis extended his hand to you to help you get onto the stage, he kept your hands together until he positioned both of you in the center of the show.
"Well dear, tell us" He signaled to the public "Do you think your mind will be strong enough to resist the temptation of your deepest desire?" You were looking deep into his eyes and found a matching curiosity.
You arranged your hair, not completely used to the attention on you "I believe the mind is stronger than any whim" Jervis laughed, loudly this time "Well my dear let's see how strong are your whims"
He proceeded with his usual talk "Do you listen the watch ?" You nodded, going along with his instructions "Now look into my eyes" You were already starting to feel a slight tingle in your head "No around them not above them, deep into the center." Suddenly you felt a small shudder of your body, as if you were physically being kicked out of your own consciousness.
His eyes held yours tightly, almost desperate. Jervis was confused at first, your mind had offered a resistance he hadn't faced before.
Finally your tightly closed knuckles gave in and relaxed and that was Jervis' sign that you were under his spell.
"You are calm, very calm... you're looking toward the man you desire, the man you love" The smugness in his face was very well hidden under his calm almost silky voice "Do you love me?" The whole club stayed silent waiting to see if the hypnosis did its trick.
Jervis felt your hands lay on his shoulders, they went down onto his chest where you wrapped his waistcoat and said "Very much" Your lips immediately found his in a passionate kiss.
Everyone at the Sirens started whistling and shouting as an encouragement, Barbara laughed lightly, very entertained by this outcome.
The hypnotist had initially planned to give you a short kiss but your lips were so awfully enchanting and he felt as if he was in the clouds. For a moment he let himself enjoy the wonderful feeling you were providing until he remembered he was in the middle of a show.
With all of the strength he could muster he broke the kiss, surprised that he didn't notice your tongue inside his mouth. Everyone around you clapped satisfied with the show but before he could formally close for the night you grabbed him closer and murmured against his lips.
"See? For the feeble minded..."
He stood frozen against you, looking at you with a surprise he couldn't even explain himself. Were you aware the whole time? The hypnosis should've worked... Oh how badly he wanted to kiss you again...
Before he could say anything you intervened "I admit it Mr Tetch, you've surprised me beyond measure I sure have no doubts of your ability now" Your smile betrayed you, he knew you weren't hypnotized and both of you knew that your mindset hadn't changed one bit.
Tabitha got closer to the stage to help you get down and once back beside the bar, with a drink in the hands of Barbara waiting for you.
As always, you were the last to exit the establishment, instead you decided to go up to the rooftop to finish your drink.
A few seconds of watching over the amazing yet depressing view of the city, Tetch decided to finally make his presence known.
He approached with a court nod and positioned himself right next to you.
"Ms Y/N I have to admit you really... astonished me tonight" Y/N didnt even look his way before answering "You did as well" Doubt was written all over Jervis face "When I said it think hypnosis is for the feeble minded I didn't mean that I don't believe in your ability... I just pointed out how some people might offer more resistance than others"
"How?" He asked, low, fascinated "I could ask you the same..." Both of you fell into silence once more.
Until he took out his watch again "Will you be willing to try again, dear?" You shrugged and he started again " Look into my eyes-"
Jervis let out a little squeak when you interrupted him by kissing him again, this time deeper, and grabbing him against the wall of the rooftop, cornering him.
Eventually he relaxes onto the kiss with a shaky breath and took you but the waist. Whenever your lips separated from his to breath, he would follow you as if you were his source of oxygen.
Your tongues now intertwined with each other like a slow dance. Jervis would sometimes let out some high pitched groans.
Tetch had never felt this way, something so sudden, so intense. He felt so out of control but so good at the same time.
Before he could realise it, you had pulled away without any intent to fuse your lips again. You looked at him as he wanted, deep into his eyes and said in a firm but soft tone "Don't try to hypnotist me again, if you want a kiss just ask for it" He tried once more to taste your lips but you let go of his waistcoat and walked away.
He stood there, flustered and with his cheeks burning hot, his breath ragged from the make out session. He watched you go, your high heels clicking against the concrete floor and your firm pace never leaving a place of doubt in your way.
Jervis licked his lips, lasting the last remnants of your lipstick and hoped very deeply that after finding his sister he might have a chance to kiss you again.
