[Her nose wrinkles a bit at the formality, but she'd get if they weren't close enough to be on a first name basis. Also because she doesn't like not finishing the job she was given, but that's another matter entirely.]

Hey, you asked me to do a job. If your boy wasn't so damn good, I might have been able to do better.

[valuedstrength]

[He grimaces. It's hard not to own up to the obvious now that she's tapping out.] My boy isn't exactly safe to send anywhere after. You took a big risk on this one.

[Even for her.] I promise I'll pay back in kind.

[neverthehero]

I will hold you to that.

[Because Jessica isn't the type to forget a debt that's owed to her. Especially since most people don't let her forget the ones she owes to them.]

And you may regret it later.

[And there's a smirk because she's kidding. Mostly.]

[valuedstrength]

[He has to smile at that. Steve expects whatever she asks for won't be easy, but hey he gave her a challenge. It's only fair to return the favor.]

Regret helping a charming lady like you? [Somehow he says it in a way that makes it sound like the joke that it is. Must be that Captain America for all ages thing... or the fact he truly respects people. Either/or.]

It'll be fun.

[neverthehero]

[How dare you be so easily likeable, Steve. It's usually only Trish that leaves her in this good a mood. Regardless, she'll nod her agreement.]

Oh, it'll probably definitely be that.

[Probably not the kind of fun most people appreciate, but close enough.]

Besides, you probably like coming back to your old stomping ground every once in a while.

[More NYC than Brooklyn, because Hell's Kitchen is technically more Manhattan, but close enough.]

[valuedstrength]

[He chuckles because there's certainly some truth in that.] I admit it would be nice to spend time around these parts when someone wasn't trying to destroy them.

[neverthehero]

[She smirks.]

So yeah. Feel free to drop by. I'll ...

[Normally someone would finish this by offering to let them sleep on their couch but Jessica doesn't really have a couch worth sleeping on by anyone but her.]

... I'll let you sleep on Trish's couch.

[valuedstrength]

[He grins in response. He gets the feeling that's her doing him a favor.] Let Trish know I'm grateful. [Steve rises to his feet. It's about time for him to go make some poor life decisions somewhere else.] Have a good day, Ms. Jones.

[He winks as if she needed any further proof he's teasing her.... and he's gone.]

[neverthehero]

[She watches him go, before shaking her head a bit, because she still can't believe that her job was to hang out with Captain America.]

See you around, Cap.

[And with that, she'll head back into her apartment to ... have herelf a drink for a job mostly well done.]
