Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

The judge linked his hands together, peering over his moon shaped glasses as he stared down intensely at the dark haired man before him; his suit as sombre as the look on his face. The judge smiled, glancing down at the evidence before him as he spoke.

After analyzing the evidence and the report by Governor Swan, it appears that you are a reformed character. It is with great pleasure to release Mr. Gerard Way from Thamesmead prison on grounds of good behavior. He will be released on probation on the condition that he does not approach Mr. Frank Iero nor will he professionally or socially interact with children.

Gerard sighed with relief as a thin smile spread across his lips as he the courtroom was dismissed. He walked out of the dock and out of the corridor to be met with his lawyer. “Congratulations Gerard” Lauren said, shaking his hand as she offered her client a PR smile. It didn’t matter how she felt about the case, she had won; that’s all that mattered now.

Even if she did find him repulsive.

“Thanks” he replied, walking with her out of the courthouse. They fell into an uncomfortable silence. He dug his hands deep into his blazer pocket, his mind wandering from one thought to the next as he headed towards the exit. The feeling of freedom was almost overpowering, he hadn’t seen the outside world in years. He almost couldn’t believe this day had come.

But it had.
And now there was business to attend to.

He pushed open the double doors to find rain thundering down outside. He smiled up at the dark, pregnant clouds, the cold air hitting his face as the water splashed on his skin. The shitty English weather never felt so good. “Gerard?” Lauren asked, leaning against the doorframe as she folded her arms against her chest. “What will you do now?”

Gerard glanced back at her, flashing her a menacing smile that made her blood run cold. “I believe I’ll be visiting an old friend… have a nice life Lauren” He said coldly as he walked out into the rain. Lauren watched him leave, running a hand through her red hair as she stared at him in disbelief.

What the hell was that man going to do?
