[ Jess has learned to be careful, too, several times over. Stumbling into her abilities after the accident, she pushed them only as far as she thought they could go, and when she met Kilgrave, he had her push them past the breaking point just to see where it was. It was always about the right pressure with him, given that, at any moment on the right day, if her mind could slink itself into a safe corner, she was filled to bursting under the skin with the urge to kill hm. Careful and controlled.
Now she exercises caution by staying under the radar, no matter what it takes, but her instinct to protect others over herself wins out against all her better judgments when a teenager's mutation has forced them to flee their own family. The Underground may be destined for failure but she trusts it over the foster system. On an individual basis, at least, and they're smart enough to send their least breakable representative to liaise with her when necessary. Their only mistake was assuming she was a professional.
Jess thinks they've actually been working together better since they fucked that pretense away. They kiss like it's combat, Jess having to duck her chin just rend their lips apart so she can get a word out before someone half-attentive wanders by and they end up racking up Pornhub views uncredited. ]
Your place. [ It can't be any less shabby or more fragile than hers and he probably doesn't have a deposit sunk into it. ]
