Sweet dreams - Jerome Valeska imagine
Random thing I just decided to do.
This imagine is set in season 2 episode 1
Plot: As you know at the end of episode 1, Theo has the future members of the maniac's in his skyscraper/penthouse or whatever. The inmates are attached to hand trolley's while Theo explains why they're there in the first place and during Theo's little speech he decides to call in two others that will be apart of the little team that he's putting together.
Song: Sweet dreams (Are made of this) remastered by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart.
Y/N P.O.V
As I leaned against the door frame with my twin brother across from me also leaning against the door frame, we both watched dearest uncle Theo give the inmates a short introduction to what he was planning for Gotham's future abyss of chaos. We leaned on the door frame with all the silence in the world because at the end of the day we've always been very quiet. In fact that's what we are notorious for here in Gotham. There are some people who call us the terrible twins or the terrible twos. While others would call us: demon spawns, Devils in disguise and my most favourite one 'The twins, Havoc and Mayhem'. As a matter of fact that's what our names are in Gotham's underworld. Havoc and Mayhem. Due to the fact that the names fit well, myself and my brother Heath decided to call ourselves Havoc and Mayhem.
Me and my brother possess abilities others don't. See, my brother has the ability to manipulate the earth. In simple terms, he can control earth, like creating tectonic earthquakes. He can move earth particles with his mind to do what he pleases. That's why he's called Havoc because an earthquake is practically a disaster and causes chaos.
What about me? You might ask. Well I have a much more different ability to be dear brother. I have what is called pyrokenesis or in other words, fire manipulation. Now you can see where the name Mayhem comes from. Fire is beautiful to me. Its beauty paired with its undying ability to destroy anything and everything in its path makes it all the more desirable. I possess a lot of power, so much so that I could scorch half of the planet if I wanted to.
Now you're probably thinking. Lab experiment gone wrong. Well I have news for you. You are wrong! Me and my brother were born with our powers and we certainly haven't gotten them from a machine. Come on, now that would be cheating. Anyway, me and my brother have lived in Gotham for 18 years now. We were born here. About 2 months ago we found out Theo was our uncle and that we had an aunt as well. Aunt Tabitha. Of course my brother was over the moon when he found out that our uncle was here to take back Gotham as his own. When me and my brother started getting into crime more frequently, Theo made us wear masks. It was annoying but who cares? We got to kill and terrorise people while robbing a bank and earning money from it. I think that's a win-win situation.
Anyway back to the present. I looked at all the inmates one by one. Luckily none of them noticed me and my brother just yet. But of course Theo had to draw attention to us as I tuned back into the conversation he seemed to be having with one of the men furthest away from us.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet the twins. You may find them quite familiar considering they are quite notorious in Gotham" Theo said as he gestured to us. I rolled my eyes, kicked off the door frame and stepped into the room confidently.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Walked in and strolled over to Theo ignoring the fact that I was in a room full of criminals. I mean I'm as much of a criminal as them but at least I never got caught. "Everyone this is Y/N" He introduced me, as I turned to look at all of them. Though one of them caught my attention. He was a ginger and had quite a sadistic smile on his face. 'Hmm, I wonder' I thought as Theo continued. "And this is Heath." Theo introduced my brother as he stood next to me.
"Oh bravo, now we're working with children." I bitchy voice said and I looked in the direction of the owner to see a dirty blonde haired woman. 'Bitch' I thought as I imagined how fun it would be to set her hair on fire in her sleep. "Oh believe me Barbara, they may look innocent but try not to be fooled." Theo warned as my eyes flashed with flames that surrounded my irises at her. She seemed to have caught my eyes changing colour as well as the rest of the group as Barbara squinted her eyes in suspicion at me.
"Y/N why don't you demonstrate for us exactly why you're a part of this group?" Theo said as he and Tabitha stood back along with my brother.
Who am I to disagree
"Sure" I said as the corner of my mouth twitched knowing I was about to scare the shit out of all of them.
I travel the world and the seven seas
"Observe" I said as I remained where I stood. I extended my pointer, middle finger and thumb, mimicking a gun pretty much and pointed it at a random guard that stood by the door. I held eye contact with the bitch, Barbara? or whatever her names was as I focused all my fire power into my hand.
Everybody's looking for something
Then I released the fire and it shot out of my hand almost immediately. The man was then engulfed in flames, which turned him to ash in less than 10 seconds. His screams only lasted for about 5 of those seconds. I kept eye contact with her as she seemed to get the idea of why I was there as fear definitely set in. You can just see it in her eyes. I then brought my hand up to my face still mimicking a gun and pretending to blow away smoke from the imaginary muzzle.
Meanwhile next to her, I heard cackling so I glanced over to see the ginger red in the face laughing like a lunatic. Huh, well now I know why he's here. I looked at Theo once again for further instructions but before he could say anything someone else spoke. "No way!" Someone said and I looked to see it was a man at the end of the line staring at me in awe.
He looked down at my hand and that's when I realised my tattoo was showing. Yeah when I was like 16 I made an impulsive decision to get tattoos. Two to be exact and both are in red ink. My first tattoo is on my back right in between my shoulder blades. It's a fire dragon and it goes all the way down my spine. My second one is on my right wrist and you guessed it. It was a fire dragon as well. This one wrapped around my wrist and ended on the top my hand.
"You're her and he's him" The guy said as the arrogance I saw earlier disappeared pretty quickly. "What? An arsonist and a silent brooding figure in the corner. Ya real scary" The ginger spoke for the first time as he seemed to have composed himself and sobered up from the laughing fit that he was just having. That's the first time I heard him speak before. "No you idiot Jerome, that's Havoc and Mayhem. They're notorious in Gotham. Most of the time they remain masked villains and are most known for the chaos they both inflict. They were in the newspaper this week. They're terrorists." The man at the end of the line answered the ginger that I now know as Jerome.
Jerome seemed to take an interest as we made eye contact, which quickly turned into a stare down. 'Well, let's see if this guy has enough balls to actually look at me' I thought as my stare became impenetrable. "Yes, as some of you may know Y/N and Heath are in fact the very terrorists that most Gothamites have come to fear, isn't that right Y/N?" Theo said as he came over to me placing a hand on my shoulder.
Some of them want to use you
I nodded without breaking eye contact with Jerome and out of my peripheral vision I saw Theo look between us and smile. "Hmm, I can see this is going to be a very interesting team. Do me a favour Y/N, try not to kill them within their first hour of being in this little team." Theo said curtly as I felt his gaze on me.
Some of them want to get used by you
"I don't know Theo, it's all dependent on how much they piss me off." I replied as Jerome grinned at me and smiled maliciously. "oooh is that a threat gorgeous?" Jerome said his smile only getting wider as I wouldn't let up in the stare down. "only if you see it as a threat but I don't know. Though I will admit you are quite an interesting character." I said as my eyes glow with actual flames behind them.
some of them want to abuse you
Theo rushed to step in between us. "Easy Y/N, let's not to scare the recruits off too early," Theo said. However I ignored Theo and kept my eyes fixed on Jerome. Jerome only chuckled and seemed thoroughly amused by this small predicament. "Hmm, I like him," I said after breaking eye contact and backing off.
some of them want to be abused
"Send the others back and get more like him then this team will actually be worth our time" I said as I stood next to my brother near Theo's desk. Theo seemed to laugh it off as he himself pretended not to be completely scared out of his wits by the small interaction me and Jerome had. Meanwhile Jerome was still looking at me, watching me, no observing me as if I'd disappear into thin air. 'Hmm, attachment issues much?' I thought as I looked away from him.
Sweet dreams are made of this
I zoned out as Theo kept talking and being a down right bore, that is until the guy that recognised me that was at the end of the line, was dumb enough to think he could just leave and ended up getting himself killed. Then Theo announced he would get the others out of their restraints.
As they got the inmates out of their restraints, me and my brother walked over to the spiral stairs and began climbing. That is until a certain ginger practically sprinted towards the stairs towards us. I stopped on the stairs while my brother kept moving while Jerome hastily made his way up the stairs.
Who am I to disagree
Jerome stopped one step down from the one I was on and without a single word exchanged, crashed his lips onto mine. Of course it came as a surprise to me, but I reciprocated nonetheless. Jerome cupped my cheeks with his hands as we continued to kiss completely lost in each other, well that and we were completely oblivious to our surroundings. One of my hands was at his nape, playing with the small hairs while my other hand was on his chest.
I travel the world and the seven seas
I barely even know Jerome and yet I'm kissing him as though we've been in a relationship for like ever. Who cares I'm going to hell anyway, might as well lose my sanity on the way. Bye bye Sanity and hello insanity. It's about time for a change. Jerome then pulled away and rested his forehead against mine. "Oh it's like you were made for me gorgeous." He said with the same malicious grin as before.
Everybody's looking for something
"Oh no handsome, it's like we were made for each other" I said as I grinned at him. "What'd ya say we continue this else where, hmm gorgeous?" He asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes and right then and there I knew this would be nothin like Gotham as ever seen before. Oh we're comin Gotham. Better run, run as fast as you can, quick, quick because chaos has a plan!
