That sucks
I didn't mean to get mad at you
I mean
I wasn't really mad AT YOU

[ well, maybe a little. but shhh. ]

You did a good thing
That guy shouldn't be on the streets

[steerclear]

[ "you did a good thing." it's such a small sentence and it should not make her feel a single goddamn thing, and yet... ]

He shouldn't
And you shouldn't have had to do it
That's all it was
Unless you want me to break him out so you can catch him again

[ aaaaand back to being flippant. ]

[decathlons]

Uh, no
That's okay
Thanks
Definitely don't want to do that

[steerclear]

[ so are they good now? is this them being good? she's pretty sure it is, but it's weird. ]

Okay then
Good
Gotta tell you tho I did get a good punch in before he fainted like a baby and I turned him in

[decathlons]

[ they're okay. he still doesn't love what she did, but he'll get over it, he thinks. ]

You didn't have to do that

[ he does almost smile at the image, and then he feels bad about it. besides, maybe this william baker guy tried to hurt her? then yeah, she would've had to protect herself ]

Or maybe you did idk
I couldn't have caught him

[steerclear]

I know I didn't
But he did deserve it

[ she isn't touching whether or not he could've. that's his assessment and his alone. one thing jess knows for sure is that if anyone else could've taken care of kilgrave, she would've let them. ]

[decathlons]

[ he used to look, at first. he used to look a lot. but the trail got colder, and time went on, and he had to ask himself what he'd even do if he caught this guy. how much of his life was he going to waste on trying to find this one guy? he wouldn't have any proof or anything to turn him in.

peter doesn't think he would've hurt william baker. that's not what he does. that's not what he uses his powers for. but, also, it's scary to think about, isn't it? what if, because he's grieving, because he's mad, what if he slipped? what kind of person would that make him? someone who uses super powers to hurt regular people?

in other words: a bad guy. ]

Yeah, no kidding
Did he
Say anything?

[steerclear]

"Who the fuck are you"
And
"Ow"

[ when jessica confronted her own demon in the end, she'd snapped his neck, and if that makes her a bad guy she accepts it with open arms. when she confronted peter's she'd reminded him of what he'd done. and he had denied it, and then he'd gotten defensive and angry. and then she'd punched him in the gut at about a quarter strength, because it wasn't her fight. because she'd wanted it to hurt. and if that makes her a bad guy too, she can't find it in her to care too much about it.

peter doesn't need to know what that bastard had said when he'd gotten defensive. ]

[decathlons]

Oh
Yeah I guess he would've

[ kilgrave wasn't an ordinary person, though. he was one of those super powered people hurting and killing ordinary people. which kinda -- goes back to his point. ]

[steerclear]

You okay?

[ a dumb question that she hates asking, but she has to know. ]

[decathlons]

Yeah
Yeah it's just
You know
Weird
Especially with my aunt
It's been a lot for her to deal with

[steerclear]

Makes sense
I've heard it'll get better after a while
Once it's done

[decathlons]

Yeah that's what everyone says

[steerclear]

Trish would know better than me kid

[decathlons]

Thanks, maybe I'll ask her.

[ he is definitely never asking her. ]

Sooo
Did you get any leads on those weapons guys?

[steerclear]

[ trish probably has a sixth sense now where, right now, she's getting a shiver because someone won't talk to her about something. at least the change in subject here is good -- no more talking about feelings, and it HAS been two days since they spoke. ]

Got a name from one of them
Was gonna go check the last known address today

[decathlons]

Really? Where is it?

[steerclear]

W20th, between 9th and 10th
Whoever it is still has money for rent after buying up the freaky tech market

[decathlons]

I'll meet you there
