[Jessica's voice is desperate as she speaks, trying to find something in there to reach forward and pull out of her, to trigger the memories she's desperate to believe is still there.]
They pulled you out of the ground and forced you back into this world, I get that. And I get that I wasn't there to help you, so maybe you don't want my help now. But I owe it to the girl who lay out a four course breakfast spread when she was trying to get me to work for her to try.
I don't believe she's gone. I just think that you don't want to admit she's still there because it hurts too much, and I understand that too.
[She sighed heavily, before pushing back from the door.]
But the girl I knew? She wouldn't let some pompous, rich bitch turn her into her own personal death machine.

It builds up in her chest until she tries and fails miserably to get to her feet.] Don't talk to me like that!
no subject
[She's getting somewhere. She can feel it in her gut - she just has to keep pushing and maybe she'll manage to get through all the brainwashing and help Elektra remember.
Hopefully the memories will be able to do the rest.]
Give me one good reason besides a forced sense of gratitude that you owe that woman anything.
no subject
Why isn't that enough? [She settles on finally.]
no subject
[She takes a breath because she has no idea how to phrase it in a way that would make sense.]
It means she brought you back just so you could kill for her. That's not love.
no subject
I am a weapon. Weapons cannot be loved; only wielded by another. But, they can have value and importance. She treats me well considering what I am.
[That justifies everything, doesn't it?]
no subject
You're not just a weapon. You're not some blunt instrument that that bitch gets to wield around.
[She pauses for a moment before holding out a hand to her.]
But you have to choose it. I can't do it for you.
no subject
[She won't though. The very thought of it is upsetting her. She can't understand why she's letting this opportunity go to waste.]
no subject
[Calling this bluff is a dangerous one and she knows it, but she's going to do it anyway. She knows she's getting somewhere, and she wants to try and push that realization, even if she gets hurt in the process.]
no subject
The taste of orange juice floods her mouth. She can feel herself slipping into hysterics that she didn't know she was capable of. She can't do it. Why can't she do it?! She lets go with a scream of frustration. Weapons aren't supposed to fail. A part of her is afraid of what this leads to.]
What are you doing to me?!
no subject
I'm forcing you to make your own choices. Because you can make your own choices.

And that Jessica mattered to her.
So she swallows, taking that small victory for what it is, and turning back to the doorway to let herself out.]
Fine. If that's what you want, I'll go.
no subject
[It isn't until Jessica leaves that she truly breaks down into something between screaming and sobbing. Surprise: she doesn't know how to handle her emotions after having her mind broken so thoroughly.]
