This is a scenario for the Jerv Squad (BTAS, Gotham, Arkham). Let's say there's a guard at Arkham who's been making their lives Hell lately (think Lyle Bolton). When they're out of Arkham, their adorable S/O sweetly tells him they have a surprise for him! That guard? Dead. Totally dead. Messily, brutally, dead. They can see the body, if they want! How does Jervis react?

"The only good Arkham Guard..." Hatter Party x gn! Reader

God I hate Bolton so fucking much I'm just channeling that internally.

TW: murder, mutilation, body disposal, taxidermy

BTAS

- He is rather neutral on actually seeing the body. He trusts his loved one to have done as they say. He will, however, ask if you need any assistance with disposal.

- If you do, he'll mind control someone to take care of it. Do it in such a way it won't be attached to you at all. Clean. Neat. You don't need to be there for that.

- While he understands you obviously handled a lot of gore and violence in the murder of this man, he still feels some need to not make you watch things like that. You deserve to only see good things. Sweet things, kind things.

- Knowing you did this after seeing him hurt... It makes the bruises ache less. Did you get hurt? He'd feel truly a cad if you got hurt. Kissing over even the smallest scratch you might have gotten.

- He's going to want to stay out of trouble for a bit. He just wants to cuddle next to you in bed for a while. Watch some old movies with you and order food in for a day.

- It'll be one of the moments you see him casual, his hair pulled up out of his face, pins in his mouth as he gets fabric together for sewing outfits.

Gotham

- Only wants to see the body as evidence that the man is really dead. He's certain you really did it, but... it's good to make sure, especially with how many people seem to "come back" in Gotham.

- You certainly did the deed, though. All for him...

- Similar to BTAS, he's not going to do body disposal himself. Hypnotize some big brutes to cut the guard up into teeny tiny pieces, yank out his teeth to derail dental record identification and maul his face.

- Yet all the while it's happening he's taking you in his arms and holding you close. Kissing you softly. It becomes a dance in which he twirls you in the moonlight. Slow, then moderately paced to the music in your minds.

- As the body is spread across different parts of Gotham and beyond, he wants to spend several days only focusing on you. On the both of you.

- You deserve pampering after all that. It takes hard work to do what you've done! He loves the wickedness of your mind and the planning it must have taken.

- You'll have to be careful, though, love, or else you'll have a cell right next to him at Arkham.

Arkham

- Oh~? Oh, oh, oh? A gift from his beloved? His dearest Alice?

- When he finds out what the gift is, he wants to see the body immediately. Gloat. Get all those details on how he suffered for all the times he suffered.

- In truth, he's so giddy he can hardly stand himself. Probably kicks the body and might even mutilate it further.

- If he's in a particularly "creative" mindset, he might look into giving the corpse a seat at the tea table. Taxidermy can't be too difficult, can it? Especially with a stuffed rabbits head. Fine movements with scissors and a sewing needle...

- The guard is much more useful this way! Really, it's like he's a brand new man. That makes Jervis giggle at his own joke.

- As for you... He can't thank you enough. If you thought he was clingy before, be prepared for right after this happens. Holding onto you tight. His protector.

- It makes him a little sad. He wants to protect YOU! But perhaps- perhaps you can protect each other.
