This happens to be a new story idea which I stumbled upon on YouTube.
I was just rewatching my favorite Jerome clips until I finally found a few Jeremiah clips after when Jerome dies… but I'm willing to make this short story happen by changing a few things and having at least 2 neutral endings to Poppy in season 4 of Gotham.
I will be getting back to my Jerome stories, I love him more than Jeremiah, it's just that I was trying to do more for his twin brother since he's played by my favorite ginger haired actor, Cameron Monaghan.
If you have any ideas on future Jerome and Poppy or Jeremiah and Poppy stories you can tell me in the comments!
I do not own Gotham! DC Comics owns it! I only own my original characters!
"Do you really have to leave for school? The bed feel sooo cold without you in it, beautiful." Jerome's voice was heard from the bathroom as Poppy was getting dressed in her school uniform.
Jerome was hiding out and staying in Poppy's new penthouse which she earned to live in after doing a few contact kill calls. While in hiding, Poppy tended to his gunshot wound since she was reminded of that horrible day when her uncle Jim Gordon shot him. Her own heart felt like it stopped beating for a few seconds before seeing Jerome and Jim running off away from the stage when the ginger haired maniac instructed Poppy to run away and don't look back.
All it took was for her to be brave and rescue Jerome by putting her uncle into a headlock and rendering him unconscious, before leading Jerome away from the scene.
But all of Gotham thinks that Jerome was killed by the hands of Jim Gordon, but his body was nowhere to be seen. And yet, there was a tombstone at the cemetery just for him which Poppy had contacted to make it seem that Jerome was really dead.
All she needed was a bag full of sand and glass to put inside of a coffin, and pretended to be the crying Queen of Chaos at the funeral a few days back when she had the cult members and a few of the Riotters with her as protection.
"I have to. I haven't been in school for a few days now. You're the one who said that I should keep my identity a secret." Poppy explained as she was brushing her long black hair, while coming out of the bathroom in her sky blue lace bra and black panties.
"Did I? Or was it for you to stay like this in front of me?" Jerome asked after putting his finger on his chin while looking at Poppy's young but toned body. "You are really tempting me to have you now, Doll." He stated before Poppy smiled at him, until she headed towards her vanity to put on her oversized red hair bow.
Poppy smirked before she bent down to have her butt up in the air until she heard Jerome growling.
"Now you're being such a fucking tease." He responded with a dark tone in his voice, before growling once more.
Poppy giggled before putting on her black over the knee socks, unaware she heard Jerome getting up out of the bed and snuck up behind the 18 year old high school senior. She jumped slightly when she felt the cold but rough hands of Jerome's touching her hips and pulling her close to him.
"Jerome Valeska…" Poppy gasped as she felt pleasure taking over her with just one single pull towards Jerome's pelvis.
"Such a fucking tease… Poppy Gordon, what am I going to do to you? Wearing lingerie to school. Don't you know that you're mine?" Jerome asked as he growled at the end of the last sentence, before spanking Poppy's left cheek.
Poppy let out a moan causing Jerome to laugh at her reaction, before making her pull her body up.
"And you need to get back into-" Poppy started to say before gasping out when she felt Jerome's fingers touching her down below and into her panties. "Fuck…" she moan while leaning her head back into his left shoulder, before feeling his stretched out lips kissing her neck and the other hand was holding onto her waist.
"That's right. You're mine… All mine, gorgeous." Jerome whispered in Poppy's ear, before he felt the 18 year old young adult's hands holding onto Jerome's left wrist.
"Yes… I'm yours…" Poppy moaned quietly, before her left hand traveled to rest behind Jerome's red hair, unaware that someone from a far away distance was secretly watching the two.
After school, Poppy had called out an emergency meeting at the abandoned capitol building which happens to be the Riotters hangout. The delinquents from different campuses around Gotham ages 14 to 22 were chatting up a storm as they were waiting on Poppy who was their leader of their gang.
"What are we going to do?"
"Poppy's boyfriend is out of the picture now. Who's going to run his cult?"
"Is Poppy that serious about running two different cults?"
"We're Riotters, not clowns!"
"Those lunatics will ruin us!"
Poppy climbed up the stage before the delinquents noticed her as they decided to put their conversation aside and listen in.
"I know that I've been busy handling Jerome's cult and all of you guys. But we have reached a critical spot in our plans to take over Gotham. With Jerome in recovery from his failed plan, I have to run both cults at the same time. Right now, we've got bigger problems." Poppy explained as she pulled out a projector of someone wearing a jester outfit on the rooftop taking pictures." Glitch told me that someone leaked our hideout to the GCPD. I was alerted by him during last period at school that a full SWAT or Strike Force team will be on their way anytime now."
"We must evacuate now before the police get to us first." Glitch responded as he climbed up the stage to join Poppy.
Poppy nodded before speaking once more.
"He's right. We could all go to Blackgate. Or maybe Arkham." Poppy stated before the Riotters started speaking once again.
"Where will we go?"
"We can't go back home!"
"Those pigs will find us all!"
"There is an old freighter near the Yellen Shipyard. It's called Jericho. Ruby is there now to make sure it is safe. We need to hurry before it's too late." Poppy explained once more, before she climbed off the stage. "We can't afford to lose any more members. Bring everything. The money, weapons and even the armor. Use the cars we have hidden in the garage to escape, and switch out license plates. We can do this… cause what are we?!"
"Riotters!"
"From what city?" Liv asked.
"Gotham!"
"We are?" Poppy asked.
"Gotham Riotters! It's do or die!" Everyone shouted.
As everyone dispersed to gather everything inside the abandoned building, Poppy was checking on her blue flip phone as she received 2 missed calls and voicemails.
One was from an unknown number which she decided to listen to.
"Poppy Gordon? This is Bruce Wayne calling. I just wanted to say thank you for saving my life the other day at my company. I never expected this to happen when you wanted to do a research paper on me, but what I can expect from Detective Gordon's niece. I want to show you my gratitude by having you invited to come visit me at my mansion. Please call back soon."
Poppy rolled her eyes knowing that she remembered saving him a few days ago at Wayne Enterprise when an unknown attacker came and shot up the place to look for something.
But with her smart street skills and small police training, Poppy managed to lead Bruce out of the office quietly before finding his butler Alfred.
'I didn't have to save the kid. But he knew his way around the place. Good thing he doesn't know who I'm truly am behind the mask." Poppy thought to herself before seeing the second voicemail which happens to be from Jeremiah. 'He probably got the music box.' She thought to herself before listening.
"Poppy… I think I'm being followed. On the cameras, I see some people from Jerome's cult-" Poppy listened before feeling Liv's hand on her shoulder.
"Ruby said it's safe to go be over on the freighter. She even finds out that it still works after many years." Liv explained as she still had Ruby on her phone.
Poppy nodded before returning back to Jeremiah's voicemail as she started to hear gunshots.
"Jerome is back from the dead, I know it! I think they're looking for you too… Poppy, call me back!" Jeremiah's frightened voice was heard over the sound of gunshots while he was running off which the 18 year old teen was in shock to hear.
"What's your call?" Liv asked after Poppy hung up her phone.
Poppy turned around to face her friend before speaking up again.
"I'm putting you in charge while I'm gone."
"What? Me?! In charge?" Liv asked as she was in shock while following Poppy from behind.
"I have to go. Jeremiah's in danger." Poppy explained after turning around to face the long haired blonde young adult.
"In danger? Poppy, I thought you cut everything off with this Xander Wilde or Jeremiah creep." Liv asked after she followed Poppy into the abandoned women's restroom so the short black haired girl could change out of her school uniform.
"Look… I was once friends with him. But yes, I cut him off because he wanted to date me while Jerome was locked up in Arkham the first time. He's like family to me, Livvie." Poppy explained after walking into the handicap stall and starting tossing over her white button up shirt, blue and red striped tie and black skirt.
"Poppy, we're in the middle of a war. What if the police come? They expect Poppy Riott. The Joker's Girlfriend. Five Feet of Fury to show up with us. What do we have against the police?" Liv asked as she can hear Poppy changing into her clothes before the 18 year old young adult walked out the handicap stall.
Poppy wore a grey tank top, a black leather skirt, red thigh high knee socks and black boots.
"A smart army of delinquents like us." Poppy answered, before putting away her gun into her holster. "Liv… be strong. And be a leader for once." She responded before hugging her best friend and left her alone in the restroom while putting on her black leather jacket, knowing it was chilly in Gotham today.
As she made toward the parking garage, one of the Riotters had a blue car ready for Poppy to take with her after switching out the license plates. When Poppy climbed into the car and put the keys in the ignition, she started calling Jeremiah while she had Misery Business by Paramore playing in the background.
"Poppy?" Jeremiah's voice was heard after he answered the phone which sounded like he was out of breath.
"Where are you?" Poppy asked.
"At the cemetery. Hiding at the entrance."
"Don't worry, 'Miah. I'm coming to save you." Poppy started to say, before hanging up her blue flip phone as she started speeding her way out of the abandoned parking garage while heading to save the other Valaska twin.
