omg perfect never apologize

[So you know who's really, really good at her job? Jessica Jones. While Sam tries - and man, does he try - he doesn't have the PI expertise in his skill set, doesn't know what voids to look for when you're looking for a man on the run, and months prior to this conversation, Captain Fucking America shows up on her doorstep looking for a favor.

She doesn't know who recommended her, but she'd kind of like to punch them in the face right about now.

Point of the matter is, you don't say no to Captain America, even when he insanely looking for a guy who's wanted in fifty different countries for crimes he's committed over the past ninety years (even if Steve claims that he was brainwashed, which given her personal experience she can believe.

He probably knew that. The bastard). Jessica pulls all her strings, raids all her contacts, and even takes advantage of some of the nice Avenger perks along the way, but at the same time she made sure to make herself clear that she isn't in the hero business anymore. She's only doing this so that Steve owes her one, because Captain America owing you a favor is something you only get to happen once. And when she's exhausted the last of those resources (because Bucky is better than good, he's a goddamn ghost), she meets him back at her office with what she does have, prepared to settle up.]


That's all I got. Sorry it's not as much as you might have wanted.
