What about you?

[Matt manages to ask that without moving his mouth and, if Kilgrave's heartbeat is any indication, without him overhearing them. he has to ask. while he'd like to go, all of this way above his pay grade, realized too late, he brought Jessica here. he did this, even if it wasn't his choice. he won't leave her alone, if it means she's going to die because of him. he'd rather die, himself]

[better make your answer quick, Jessica. here comes the man of the hour]
aworldonfire: (just wait until the bomb drops)

[Matt hesitates for a moment, a deep frown settling into the corners of his mouth, and then, against his better judgement, makes a break for it. Kilgrave seems surprised by this and calls after him, but it's a second too late -- Matt's gone]

Well, that's annoying. [a beat] Guess it's just the two of us, then. [does he know Jessica's awake? is he just monologuing to himself? it's hard to tell]
aworldonfire: (the beats through your mind)

[interestingly, it doesn't take too long for a really good lawyer to just show up on his own -- or so the guard that comes to get Jessica tells her. Matt's sitting in a room at the jail, back in civilian clothes, waiting for her, a stack of papers all printed in Braille spread out in front of him, his fingers tracing the lines. he pauses, however, when the door opens, raising his head, giving the impression that he's looking at her as she's pushed into the room, and then hurriedly gathers the papers back into one neat stack so he can push the aside, give her his full attention]

Miss Jones. [so they meet again] I heard you had a bad night.

I can go, if you'd rather wait for Miss Hogarth.

[and yet he makes no motion to stand up]

[he smiles tightly]

Would you believe me if I told you the Devil made me do it?
aworldonfire: (it don't mean that it's fair)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-07-05 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[he holds up a hand, immediately, placating]

The latter, not -- [he shakes his head] Sorry. [because yeah, he realizes how that probably sounded]

I'll come up with something. [a beat] I have it on good authority that you had a damn good reason for what you did. [he's -- not sure how he feels about the fact that she killed someone, but what else was she going to do? if she'd just hauled him into the cops or whatever, he would have been out again in thirty seconds, tops, and gone right back to hurting people]
aworldonfire: (i will walk on my own two feet)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-07-09 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll figure it out. [a beat] I owe you that much.

[please take a hint, Jessica. he doesn't just know the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, he is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen]
aworldonfire: (the sun broke free of the clouds)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-07-12 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[he offers her a wry smile]

I'm kind of a -- a solo act? [there is no crime-fighting squad to join] I'm not doing this because I want something from you.
aworldonfire: (teach you to believe in something)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-07-12 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs] Like I said, I owe you. [he screwed up. if he hadn't gotten involved, things might have gone better for her. so, pretty much, yeah]

I think I've got a better chance than Miss Hogarth.

[despite her connections and the fact that she's a shark]
aworldonfire: (i will walk on my own two feet)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-08-05 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure I'd have a better chance of finding people who can testify. [a beat] Pretty sure I can actually convince them to testify. [there's nothing threatening in the way he says that, for the record. he's not going to run out, find Kilgrave's other victims and threaten or beat them into doing what he wants. he just -- well, he has a reputation, now. a good one. better than it was when he first started with Fisk. people might be willing to do a favor for the Devil of Hell's Kitchen if he asks them. he's pretty sure Hogarth doesn't have that going for her]

[plus, if nothing else, he's relentless. if that doesn't work as well as he's hoping, he'll think of something else. he owes Jessica that much]
aworldonfire: (don't think i could believe you)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-08-13 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Matt doesn't react to her taking the paper in front of him. it's notes on her case, anyway, and even if it wasn't, he doubts she'll be able to read it. it's in Braille, after all]

A support group?

[he ... doesn't really do support groups, but]
