Gertchase

Gertchase is the het ship between Gertrude Yorkes and Chase Stein from the Runaways fandom.

Canon
Gert and Chase were childhood friends who grew apart after the death of Nico's sister, but her death anniversary two years later brings their whole group of friends back together.

It is that Gert has a crush on Chase from the start as she is seen checking him out and inviting him to study before the Runaways reunite as a group. However is preoccupied with his feeling for Karolina, not knowing that she coming to realise she is a lesbian and has crush on Nico. Chase's crush on Karolina causes fiction between Gert, Chase and Karolina as Gert remains jealous. Gert pushes Karolina towards Nico but this backfires when Karolina becomes defensive as she is not ready to come out yet.

Eventually, on the night of the school dance, Gert and Chase kiss and sleep with each other after Gert confesses her feeling to Chase and Chase claims to have "always seen her." Once on the run from their parents they hold hands while asleep in the back of their van.
