Such A Joker (Jerome x reader) ~ (Jeremiah x reader)

Charded

Selina sprays the door once again trying to melt the metal as she's attempted for what feels like hours. "I don't know what else to do (Y/n)." She huffs and looks at me. "Simple. You can die." Firefly speaks clearly awake from my kicks of furry. She holds a second flamethrower in our direction. "Hey drop it Dragon! Don't make us hurt you." I say to her fed up with this place. She laughs and smirks at me. "You think you can hurt me? I am the Goddess of Fire!" I roll my eyes. "This girl is nuts! LISTEN HERE! You're not the Goddess of anything! You're Bridgit!" I scream at her and laugh at her insanity.

"We grew up together. We're friends. When my mom left, you took me in." Selina says trying to trigger some memories. "Goddesses don't have friends!" "Says who? Okay yeah. Maybe we can play along. Goddess, right? Okay, let's be your servants! Let us be your servants." Selina and I bow down to her. She walks up and points her gun at us. "Why do I need a servant?" I look at Selina clueless of what else to tell her. "It's part of the story! Strange just forget to tell you! You have to have servants!" Firefly looks up in pride. "I guess that's true." She smiles and walks off. Oh man. We're in some deep shit now.

Jim POV:

After strange has molded my face onto another person he injects me with what he calls honesty serum. "I need to know what you know." As the liquid seeps into my veins my body becomes numb and I loose since to my own mind. Everything just a jelly bowl of words and facts swirling in my mind. "How do you feel now?" I shake my head feeling nauseous. "Not good." "Can you be more specific?" "I feel vulnerable. Naked." Strange smiles at my words. "Your feelings are natural and normal. There is nothing to be ashamed of. You are in a helpless situation. There is nothing you can do. Do you understand that?" "Yes. No." I strain at my own words spilling out of my mouth. "No? what can you do? James, what can you do?" "Made a plan." "tell me about your plan." "If I don't check in with the GCPD by noon, tell them I'm safe, they'll come after me." Strang chuckles and smiles like a mad man. "Yes. Yes, I know. You did check in with the GCPD. Nobody's coming. You can relax." MY FACE! Strange plastered my face onto someone!

(Y/n) POV:

We follow firefly around waiting on her hand and foot and praying we will get rescued in the next minute. We pass a door guarded by two men with guns. Why would they be blocking a door when this whole place is empty?

I step forward and bow at the firefly. "My queen. I have kept this secret long enough. We are planning a grand celebration! If you would please release us from our duty just for a second. We could make sure the preparations are all in order!" "A grand celebration?" She asks slyly. "Oh yes! We couldn't be walking around without having a party for the goddess of fire!" She hums and smiles. "You are released." She giggles in excitement and continues her path to who knows where.

"Why'd you do that here? We can't get out!" "Relax. Look at the two guards. If this whole place is going to explode and the place is empty why do they need to stand guard?" "they're keeping something in." She says in realization. "Right! And don't you think Jim Gordon or Bruce Wayne would have come for us already?" She smiles and crosses her arms. "Not bad Gordon." I shrug my shoulder and spin playfully. "Well, I am a detective!" "How do we take out the guards?" I look over to both the men around the corner once more. "I take the left you take the right?" She shrugs and smiles. "I don't see why not."

We run to the two men and with one kick and a few punches from both of us the men fall cold. I grad the card on one of their shirts and scan it on the door lock. Once successful the doors slide open to revile the dream team. Lucius sitting in a red leather chair, my dad chained up to a chair, and Bruce trying to free him. "Hey, there boys!" I wave and slide into the room.

"Now listen. This whole place is going to blow and the whole circus is moving upstate. Soon too. We might have an hour." Selina says, and Bruce walks over to her. I wish those two would get past the whole love-hate thing and just love!

I walk to my dad and pull a bobby pin from my hair. "What are you doing?" He asks dazed. "Are you high?" I ask laughing poking his cheek and continue to work on my lock. "Yo. (Y/n) I'm leaving for servant duty. What should I say?" "Tell her I'm making her a fucking cake!" she nods and leaves the room.

Once I got my dad free we all sprint out in the hall and to the front exit, but when I hear Strange's voice and I rush to him. This ass has got to get something in return for hurting my friends!

Once we arrive at the lunchroom for the inmate's Strange lays on the ground sleeping. My father goes to smack him, but I stop him and do the honors myself.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
"This sure relieves my stress!" Strange's eyes open and he looks at me. "Ah, Ms. Gordon. I thought to be in here this long would've made you return to old habits." My father pulls me up and slaps the man once more.

"I'm going to stand you up now and you're going to give us a tour of your secret lab." "NO!" Strange refuses. "Well guess what? You don't have a choice." I say in a sassy voice and laugh. Man, what as gotten into me? I'm never this high strung!

Or am I? I can't remember!

"It's this why right?" "Jim, we can't go down there. I set a bomb the lab is going to blow up. We must get out of here! In 10 minutes, everything within a quarter-mile radius will be dust." "That's madness." "Yeah! Plus my favorite coffee shop will be gone! What the hell strange!" I cross my arms and stick out my tongue to the man.

"We have to go!" "You tell me how to shut off  that bomb or I'll batter you to death right here!" "I can't it's too late!" Selina steps upfront. "Nygma knows the way down there." My dad then leaves strange and comes over to us. "Could use some help." "Yep," Lucius replies. "Now you three. We've got nine minutes. Get as far away as you can." "No," I say but he pushes me with the others. We run out of the building into the crisp air of the nightly dusk. "My car! Come on!" I run and allow Selina and Bruce to get in. We drive far enough away, but not far enough for my father and Lucius to have a getaway. Nine minutes pass and nothing happens. "They did it!" Bruce smiles and we all cheer in joy, not so much Selina, but I could tell she was happy.

I drive back to the gates and see the GCPD crawling around the place. We get out and I rush to my father giving him a hug. "This city is in deep trouble if we don't find that bus!" Harvey screams and the young cops shiver in their belts rushing off to do their duty. "What bus?" My father looks at me and sighs. "The bus with Strange's monsters It got away." My father leads us both back to my car with Selina perched on top and Bruce on the hood. He grabs Bruce's shoulder and my own. "I have to go. I might not see you both for a while, but I promise I will keep in touch." "Where are you going?" I ask in a worried tone. "I have to find Lee."

His girlfriend. He's leaving me to find his girlfriend.

"Do me a favor. Say goodbye to Bullock and take care of this one." He ruffles my hair. "I can take care of myself dad." "I know." He smiles and pulls me in for a hug. "Bye, darling." He kisses my head and slowly walks away. "Bye, dad."

"Come along then Master Bruce," Alfred says ushering his younger leader into the car. "You be safe Ms. Gordon." "You too Alfred." As they drive away Selina comes up to me and elbows me slightly. "So Gordon. What's on the list now?" I sigh and smile at my feet. "I've got an old friend to see." She laughs and hugs me surprising me entirely. "Good luck Cat." "See you around G."
