1930s AU.

Based on a Underfell story "Sooner or Later You're Gonna Be Mine" by Staringback. Song doesn't belong to me.

(Corona City, what once a peaceful city of fame and glamor, now a city of death and crime. Several crime gangs have taken control half of the city as their land, demanding money to give mercy to the sad folks that begged to live. But none are as ruthless as the most dangerous crime gang of all, The Toxication. And their leader, Varian Quirinson, is by far the most dangerous crime leader in the city. He show no mercy, no compassion and no chance of forgiviness. There been told that Varian came from the farm life, with a drunken father and a tired mother. He been taught that if you want something so bad, you have to kill to get it. He kill to get what he promised himself, but...it all changed when he met...her.)

(In her dressing room, Judy manage to get her long hair in curls and lay them on the side. After that, she put on her makeup and slid her gloves in. Judy Pot, the little doll up daughter of the Pot's family, the richest family in the city. Judy was raised to live a luxury life, but she wasn't living that life as all thought. She does love them, but that love lead to the issues she have with them. At fifteen, she is forced to get in a engaged marriage with their business partner, the White and they argeed to let their daughter and son to married till they reach the age of marriage. Judy hated this life, she hated how she is used as a prize instead of being human, she hated her fiancee William and she hated her family. She let out a sigh and stood up, leaving her dressing room and head on stage. As she headed to the stage, she see the musicans getting ready for her part.)

(She is the main star of the hit jazz club in this city, the Razzle Dazzle Corona Jazz. She's the kind of gal men would kill for and the kind women would go green over. True, she is very beautiful, pale peach skin, crystal blue eyes, long brown hair with a blue bang and a figure of a goddess, dressed in a shimmer dark blue dress that sparkles and slit on the right side, white long gloves, sapphire earrings and her lapis lazuli necklace, but she never see herself as a goddess or beautiful. As she enter on stage, she could see one of the workers pecking over the curtains. She become a little curious.)

Judy: Hey Vex, what you seeing?

Vex: Jude, I think you need to see this.

Judy: Why?

Vex: Just come here and look.

(Judy walk to the curtain, she push it a little to take a look and gasped. Over at the eadge of the stage, sitting on the club table, is the Toxication. The waiters all take their order to not be killed and cause a scene, The Toxication are known to kill without hesitation. But the one that capture Judy's attention is their leader, Varian. He's a good looking fellow, dark hair that is comb back, a goatee on his chin that made him look mature, dressed in a fine dark blue suit and black leather shoes. Judy contuied to stare at him, it took her back to a time they were fourteen.)

(Before Judy got engaged, she and Varian were good friends, close friends actulley. She would sneak out of her city land and rush to his farm land that wasn't far from she lived. They would do everything together and she even helped with his chores, she never mind getting dirty and smell like hog slop, as long she can be with Varian. Over time, she listen to his problem of his father drinking problems and his mother tired behavior, just listening to his problems is never a problem to her, she listen to him more than anyone else does. She feel over time she have grown feelings for him, but one day, he just ran away. His mother doesn't know where he gone to or why. She feel sad and hurt, she thought she might never see him again. That is till she heard of The Toxication and that Varian is leading them into a life of crime. She couldn't believe her once close friend turn into a life a criminal.)

(The sound of a clear throat broke her thought, she turn and see Lance staring at her.)

Lance: Show time!

Vex: Be careful Jude. Those guys will kill you for sure if you miss a note.

Judy: Don't worry, it will be alright. 'Hopefully'

(Vex left to help with the orders. Judy stand in the middle as the curtains part always and reveal her. With the Toxication, they were talking about plans and which neighborhood to take down. Varian only nod and pretend to listen, it was pretty boring anyway to listen. When he look up at the stage, his heart dropped in the pit of his stomach. There standing is Judy, the same Judy he thought of never seeing again. She is beautiful, like the angel he knew her as. And to see her all grown up and looking like a million bucks, he is dying to get close to her.)

(Judy inhaled in and out, the music plays and her song starts, she vocalized.)

Judy: (sing) He caught me with the sweetest lullaby

He made me feel all glorious and divine

Invited me for a drink, blues and tender swing

And then he caught me by sweet lies

(Varian watch her sing with her angelic voice, just hearing it made his spine tingle.)

Judy: (sing) it started out that we were going to be friends

And even more when he popped the question

He gave me roses, gave me the world as clicking this

Chapeau

(The Toxication was tapping their feet to her music, but Varian's heart is beating to the beat of her voice.)

Judy: (Sing) But finally once day roses fade away

And butterflies they cut their wings so deeply

Sweetness has its price, he went out at night

And left me with a broken wing

(Soon a chorus of singers sing with Judy.)

Judy: (sing) When he went away I could not save my aching heart

I, I was blinded by the blueness of mine

I could not get enough of gangster love

(One of the member lean to Varian.)

Gerhard: Hey, isn't that your little friend?

(Varian didn't answer, he was too focused on Judy only.)

Judy: (Sing) I started having Veuve Clicquot at night

Instead of him a pillow by my side

He left me with a ring, memories of swing and painful

Agony inside

When he came I washed his bloody shirts

I took care of his scars and had to vet his wounds

Instead of roses, he gave me doses of lies

(Judy walk down the stairs as she sing still.)

Judy: (Sing) But finally one day he had to go away

And even though I begged him here to stay

He left with squeaking wheels careless of what I feel

I guess this wound will never heal

(She walked past men who was drooling over her, Varian can't help but feel a bit of possessiveness in him. Not liking how they are ogling over her.)

Judy: (sing) When he went away I could not save my aching heart

I, I was blinded by the blueness of mine

I could not get enough of gangster love

(Gerhard had to hit Varian in the head hard to get his attention.)

Varian: What the hell?!

Gerhard: Saids the guy who is a killer and yet he is falling for his childhood sweetheart.

Varian: (blushing) She's not my childhood sweetheart! She's-She's just a friend.

(Gerhard pull a look that said 'for real?'. Varian rolled his eyes and watch Judy perform.)

Judy: (sing) I thought that you knew that you were mine

Kept me caged like butterflies

I was talking, my heart breaking

Shoots and guns, the police and these and that

You got me caught with a lullab, I can't even run if I try

Harder to forget thet you left me with diamonds and rings

And bling blings

(Judy walk back to the stage, on her final verse.)

Judy: (sing) When he went away I could not save my aching heart

I, I was blinding by the blueness of mine

I could not get enough of gangster

Could not get enough of gangster

Gangster love

(The audiences clapped and hoot loud at her performance. Judy each blow kisses at each men that love her work, that alone made Varian's blood boiled. After she give her final kiss, she leave the stage and take a break in her dressing room.)

(She stare at her own reflation, who stare back at her. She always hated to look too pretty for the audiences, it remind her of how she have to be pretty for her family and fiancé. She wanted to leave this place, start a new life and be a famous musician that will make her be known. While staring at her own self, she never hear the sound of the door open and locked. Her throughts broke when she felt a pair of arms wrapping around her shoulder.)

(She gasp, push whoever it is and back away to the wall. She look at her captor, it was only Varian alone.)

Judy: Can I help you mister?

(Varian clear his throat, smooth his suit and walk to her. She feel herself getting scared, but this is her own friend since teenagers. She have no reason to be scared of, if he became nothing but a cold blooded killer.)

Judy: Sir?

Varian: Forgive me, I should have knocked.

Judy: You should have. What business do you have for coming in a lady dressing room? Do I have to call Lance to remove you?

Varian: He won't be much of a help angel, my men are keeping him busy while we have our little chat.

(Judy narrow her eyebrow at him, she doesn't want to know what his own gang are doing to her co-workers. He is close to her, not giving her so much of a personal space.)

Judy: Varian, I think you are making uncomfortable.

Varian: You never seem to have a problem with back when we were teens. (Close to her face) Looking at you, you really are a angel from heaven~

(Judy gasped, his face is way close to hers. She let out a blush, making her color look more red than ever. Varian let out a smirk, she have a way that make her get so flustered. Just one hint and she will be like a red apple, sweet and bright. He lifted his hand and caress next to Judy's cheeks, feeling her soft texture and feeling them warm and cozy. He chuckled.)

Varian: So cute~

(Judy look away from him, only her eyes moved.)

Varian: Heard you are getting married. William White, right?

Judy: Yeah? This have nothing to do with you.

Varian: Right, right. (Back away) You're right, none of my business.

(Judy can't help but feel his voice got playful and flirting to a sense of jealousy. Is he really jealous of Judy marrying William? That's silly, he have no reason to get jealous over. And yet, something doesn't seems right. She shook her head. She doesn't have time for this. She move past Varian and about to leave her room, then out of nowhere, Varian grab her and dip her low to the ground. She look at up and see him grinning down at her with a flirtation look.)

Varian: Leaving so soon? We had a lot to catch up to.

Judy: Sorry, but I have a job to do and I can't waste time-

(He pull Judy up, grabbing her hand and grab her waist, pulling her close.)

Varian: Not even for a small dance with me? Angel?~

(He pull Judy in the middle of the dance floor as the Jazz swing band play music, the two beging dancing. Judy stare at Varian the whole dance, since when did he became a pro on dancing? Guess being a gang leader have it's pricks.)

(Varian stare at Judy while dancing with her. He have to admit, it been years since he last saw her after he left the farm life. He really miss her, want nothing more than to come back to her. But he is nothing but a criminal and a simple farm boy, he couldn't afford to give her the life she is living on. He think back on the days they spend together, she was the only one beside her mother that ever show him true kindness. She never see him as a lowly peasant, only as a person like her. It made him fell harder for her. After that fight with his father, he ran away and join in a small crime gang, learn to be a criminal and raise up to be a feared man. He heard from a couple workers from White Corporation that Judy is getting married to William, and it made him boiled in rage and jealousy. Judy desvere more than living like a prize doll, but he couldn't be the one to give her that.)

(Judy feel her feet getting tired from dancing and her high heel shoes aren't made for dancing. Varian could see that she is getting a little tired. He pick her ff her feet and carry her all the way to her dressing room. He set her on her couch. Judy is beyond confused. Why is he acting like a gentleman to her when he act like a killer to others?)

Judy: Varian-

Varian: (kissed her hand) Have a smooth night, my precious songbird~

(Just like that, he leave her room. Judy only feel like something is out of ordinary with him. Varian and his Toxication group left the club and head to their hideout, an old abandoned gas station. Inside, Varian drink a bottle of whiskey he hidden in his secret chest while laying on his old bed. In his mind, he can only see Judy alone grown and a teen. He let out a tired sigh, put his whiskey away and went to sleep. His dreams are filled with a life he wish with Judy. And that, is how his whole life changed again.)
