Thread: Hero Business [Defenders -- Sigr & Virginia]

Control was necessary. Jessica had to be able to open doors, hold coffee mugs, and not hurt the people she wanted to touch, after all. She broke things all the time, but mostly they were hers, and very replaceable. Alarm clocks in particular got the worst of it, as did her office door. They suffered for entirely different reasons, but they both suffered. She would, however, say that she definitely should be given some kind of award for not crushing people because there were a bunch of people who deserved it. His understanding of what she'd done wasn't necessary. It didn't matter if nobody else got it, not anymore. She knew it was the right thing to do, and there were more people than she'd probably ever know who'd felt his effects and could sleep at night now. He was dead, they'd be fine, that was what mattered. Matt accepted the topic change, and she settled down the rest of the way. The light color doesn't really matter. That wasn't an opinion based on Jessica's personal driving habits - she barely ever drove - it was casual observance of twenty-some years of formed and held memory of what the city was like. colorAB3ECFbGood.bcolor That made things easier. The dark haired woman hesitated, lips tugging down into a frown that went further than it usually did, and she all but forced out that's why I came to you. It was followed up promptly by the less flattering well that and you're the cheapest lawyer I know and I was pretty sure you'd feel obligated to answer my phone call. She wasn't sure how well he'd listen to her because she may not have entirely have planned to listen to him if things were reversed. Depended on how things went down, she supposed. Jessica liked to have a plan, but sometimes plans were garbage and it was just better to wing it. Keep an ear out. If anyone says anything weird, I want to know about it. Information gathering starts now. It turned out that what she meant by 'go' was 'walk to the end of the hall where she could skill keep an eagle eye on Malcolm's door. The conversation she had was short and a little bit stressed, but her voice was gentler than it often was. Not obviously, but there was something that relaxed in her when she talked to Trish. She was the closest person Jessica had, and she'd realized that was important. Using a credit card was kind of a pain in the ass - Jessica couldn't help but run through all the ways she could end up tracked every time she swiped the card - but it was the fastest way to move money for this kind of thing and Trish had convinced her. She found Matt when she was done, tucking the slightly beat up cellphone into her pocket. Malcolm's going to go stay with a friend until I can pick him up later. She hadn't asked the man about this plan, she was just assuming that he would agree to it. Leaving Malcolm home alone left him open to reappearance from the police. Trish's apartment had cameras and she would know not to let anyone in unless it was illegal not to. After he's out I'm getting him a cab and going to the bar. To think. Obviously that was why. Telling him was kind of I still don't have a finale for all the little shit we're going to heap up on them, but I think Karen should be targeted next. I rewatched some Daredevil and oh man, I don't think he'd deal with a whole bunch of paranoia better than Jess, and we know she's a mess.
