"The big part of the job is looking for the worst in people. Turns out I excel at that. Clients hire me to find dirt. And I find it, which shouldn't surprise them, but it does."

MATT MURDOCK

        the city at dawn—just as garbage truck engines started to rumble and sunlight was beginning to peak in between the buildings—was matt’s favorite time of the day. the streets were peaceful, quiet and abandoned. the coffee shop he visited on the same corner of his apartment building had just opened their doors. he had hours before anyone else would even step foot in the establishment, which made it the perfect place to enjoy his coffee and a book, occasionally. as the elder woman behind the counter took his usual order, matt could hear footsteps approaching. as if right on cue with his senses, the door chimed and in walked another costumer. surprised by the unexpected company, the red head extended a kind gesture. “ … i’ll cover whatever they’re having, too. ” he said, coughing up a folded ten dollar bill.

Jessica was standing outside coffee shop for a while when she saw a familiar face. It was never settled whether they were friends or not but he was one of the people she allowed herself to care about. They had worked quite well together along with other people after all. As she entered the shop, she knew he had noticed him. Days in being at Chronopolis, she had noticed that some people a person would know would be an entirely different person they used to know. He could be different. Jessica sat nearby and exhaled, trying to erase any sort of recognition of him. “That’s kind of you but no, thank you. I can pay for my own.”

ILLYANA RASPUTIN

“Home, or they went to a rave and didn’t invite us,” Illyana said, very much on the verge of rolling her eyes. “Being here. I don’t really get where here is since I wasn’t paying attention, but hell is much, much worse than this. If that annoys you less.” She eyed the toy warily, unsure of where it thought it was going at a time like this.

“Rave, huh? So most occupants here are kids or adults who never got the sweet taste of their youth? Is that it?” She looked at the empty streets then back to the girl. “Just equally annoying. I don’t know what’s the deal with this place and that’s annoying.” It was more than just annoying. She was a little scared but she wouldn’t admit it out loud.

ELEKTRA NATCHIOS

         she  snickers     ‘   madam  chinese  munchkin   ?   that’s  a  little  rude   …    jessica  right   ?   not  that  i’d  expect  anything   less   from  your  anyway   .   ’     at  her  question  ,  the  smirk  on  elektra’s  lips  only  grows     ‘   a  magician  never  reveals  her  secrets   .   but  no  ,  i  sadly  don’t  have  the  power  to  bring  people  back  from  the  dead   .   ’

“Magician? More like a sword-wielding lunatic.” Jessica had not quite figure out yet was was going on but Chronopolis was a strange to be and she hated it. The possibility of Kilgrave being alive in this world was there and she was not sure if she was ready to deal with him again. “So, how did you do it? Or this just happened?”

DAISY JOHNSON

            the comment mostly goes over her head  -  she  GETS  it,  okay ?  shield really didn’t have the cleanest track record,  but neither has she and  …  lets just say,  being a part of shield helped her get  LESS  hypocritical and judgemental  -  and  then some,  of course.  but daisy knows they’re not perfect.     “  nah,  i can  BLAST  it out of range.  probably should if i do it anyways  -  …  why are you trying to take a drone down on this fine,  dreary morning,  though ?  ”    daisy’s  LAID BACK  demeanor,  however,  is stripped away  -  and she’ll  straighten  up.    “  nothing that i know of.  yet.  ”    and daisy will stand,  pulling her hair to one side.    “  only  ONE  way to find out.  ”

“Well, I’m not really fond of flying objects watching me like damn hawk.” That she thought was at least, obvious. “Well, are you sure that’s a good idea, SHIELD?” She asked knowing that jumping into unknown could be a bad idea. She had a lot of experience of diving into action that didn’t end well. However, she was naturally curious to fault and even if she voiced out some hesitation, she started walking towards of what could possibly a danger. It was what Jessica does.

JESSICA DREW

her heart had already started hammering. jess wasn’t really a stickler for the rules, but since their arrival, she’d stayed out past their curfew twice, both times weren’t very enjoyable. it was a good thing she was fast. she glanced down at the watch around her wrist and huffed, pushing her hands into the pockets of her jacket. jessica realised that there was someone else, and she scoffed at the accusation, “not mine,” she droned out, glancing up at the thing, “but unless you wanna get swarmed by guards, you really should be thinking about going home,” she warned, “you have less than five minutes, so i’d really get going.” jessica turned on her heel, beginning to walk in the direction of her apartment.

“Hold on.” What the other girl said didn’t exactly made sense to Jessica but so far, she had been the most helpful among all the people she talked to. Not like she had talked to a lot of people. She was people observing people from the sideline. “ Why am I going to get swarmed by guards? Also, I’m not nowhere near home.” As soon as she said those words, Jessica figured something out. She looked around and the way the streets are empty, she had a pretty good hunch of what was partially going on. “Shit.”

ELEKTRA NATCHIOS

          ‘   and  like  a  phoenix  she  rises  from  the  ashes   !   ’     she  exclaims  ,  tilting  her  head  to  the  side  as  she  eyed  the  private  investigator   .     ‘   surprised  to  see  me   ?   don’t  worry   —   i  won’t  be  kicking  your  ass  tonight   .   ’

Jessica had so many questions in her head for her and though it was all valid, she had a feeling it would sound stupid out loud. Besides, she didn’t want to fight her either and interrogations with her would probably lead to fighting. “Yeah, I don’t know what the hell is going on but you were supposed to be dead? Who else you brought along with you? That head bitch in charge? Madam Chinese munchkin?” Matthew? She really wanted to ask. It was one of those deaths she was not able to take lightly.

CELESTE CUCKOO

If principal didn’t dictate sticking to her guns, Celeste would have admitted her appreciation for he other woman’s abrasive nature. Brushing a wave of light blonde hair from her face, she shrugged her shoulders lightly. “Oh? Lots of people must be gunning for a girl like you.” Looking up at the drone, she watched the metal contraptions attempts to follow the commands of its true owner. “The drone wasn’t mine you know…..but I’d like it to be.” Smiling sweetly, teeth bared an all, she brought the drone to a crashing halt on the ground. “Careful with your words, twat.”

Jessica watched the drone crashed to the ground and it was only then she realized something about the girl. She had special abilities, just like her only, she was not IGH-made. Jessica had managed to get her hands of some files from IGH and she had been keeping an eye on those people. What she took was not everything there was and she was sure she was not on the list. “Lovely.” She commented with an obvious lack of enthusiasm. It warranted another eyeroll. “Go back to your mother, kid.” Jessica turned on her heels and started to walk away because she was not going to fight some kid.

ELEKTRA NATCHIOS

          elektra’s  laugh  carries  itself  down  the  nearly  abandoned  street  as  she  shakes her  head  ,  causing  her  long  hair  to  fall  over  her  shoulder   .     ‘   you  kiss  your  mother  with  that  mouth   ?   ’     she  asks  ,  stepping  out  of  the  shadows  and  closer  to  the  other    .

Jessica almost froze when she realized who it was. “You.” She said with sternes but there was a hint of disbelief in it. She was pretty sure the explosion killed her.

ILLYANA RASPUTIN

“First day jitters? Same. All I know is that everyone else went home.” And she did not really know what ‘home’ meant for her. “I don’t know what I’m talking about half the time, but I thought it was a toy, and kids get annoyed if you mess up their things. Maybe it’s a grown-up’s toy, though. Grown-ups are better at getting retribution.”

“Home.” She repeated the word with a scoff. Surely, she still have her apartment double as office apartment but everything was not what it seemed. “I don’t do jitters. I do annoyance and anger. First day of what though? Of being in hell?”

IRIS WEST

Iris barely had time to react before being accused of something she knew nothing about. It took her a moent to regan her compusre before rolling her eyes. “Listen I barely know I got here I was… I don’t know who that belongs too, but I’d prefer if you keep it, and it’s pieces away from my ass.”

Jessica was getting tired of not knowing what was going on. “Where is ‘here’ actually? Oh, never mind, you probably don’t know too.” She said before letting out a loud frustrated groan. Jessica decided to look for logo or anything in writing that would hint the owner of the drone but Jessica was not really counting on it.

Jessica Jones  +  her love for S.H.I.E.L.D

[atjessicajones]

VISION

vision gave her a sympathetic look as he let his feet touch the ground. “unfortunately, i don’t think that’s a very good idea. unless your goal is to anger kang the conqueror by destroying his property.” he answered with thoughtful look on his face. “i don’t think angering him is a good idea right now.” vision said before casting a glance at her. “are you planning to breaking the curfew?”

Her eyes narrowed at the Avenger in confusion. “Well, I’m angry at everyone and everything. It’s nothing personal.” He stated although the confused look on her face still remained. Jessica couldn’t really care less about angering Kang yet, Vision’s concerned was somehow alarming. “Excuse me? What curfew?”

[atjessicajones]

STEPHEN STRANGE

judging by the look on her face, stephen knew he should have left his slightly villainous looking yet incredibly useful cape at home. or maybe he should have shaved off his mustache. after all,  much to stephen’s chagrin, kang the conqueror did have similar facial hair. “oh, come on,” he let out a tired sigh as he stepped closer to her, “i’m a captive, just like you, lady.” stephen looked up from his broken watch and quirked a curious eyebrow at the woman. “do you live nearby? because kang’s guards will be here soon. you might want to consider going home.” 

Perhaps, Jessica was being hostile---well, more than the usual---but she was just lost. “Captive.” She processed the words she had heard from him and she started to get agitated but she knew better than to let her emotions get in the way so she took a deep breath. “Let me get this straight. This is Kang’s doing?” She tried to recall everything she had remembered about Kang during her time when she thought she could be a hero. “So, what the hell is going on?”

[atjessicajones]

ILLYANA RASPUTIN

Illyana had sort of lost track of time (okay, definitely lost track of time), and decided that she might as well focus on not getting arrested or whatever the rules were. She had barely figured out in which direction she should be going when somebody else showed up. She had been very prepared to be friendly and semi-helpful if asked (which meant not guessing at directions) until  “Uhm, no? Do I look like I’m making it do anything?” She held up her hands. “It’s annoying me too. It is just someone’s weird toy, though, right? Not something invoke wrath from anyone important or a powerful nine and a half year old?”

Jessica just shrugged at her question. “Who the fuck know? I’ve only been in this place for a few hours and I’ve already met a bunch of weirdos and assholes.” She let her detective skills kicked in as she looked at the drone then at anyone or anything around the area, trying to look clues on who’s controlling the drone but she was still listening to her. “What the hell are you talking about?”

[atjessicajones]

CELESTE CUCKOO

The drone wasn’t hers, but had her mood been brighter or the woman kinder, she would have admitted that outright. Instead, Celeste closed the distance between her and the other woman. “Cute little thing, isn’t it?” The semblance of a smile spread across her face, but none of its warmth reached Celeste’s hard blue eyes. Keeping her gaze on the stranger, her mind reached forward, taking control the metallic contraption. It whizzed in circles, dipping lower and lower, until it hung dangerously close to their faces. “I feel oh so tempted to fly this through your head.”

Jessica just rolled her eyes when she seemed to be playing with her toy. Jessica had been observing people for the longest time that she could tell that there was something awfully wrong with her. “Cut the shit, kid.”  She lightly give the machine a slap to the side, just to get get it away from her face. At her statement which she thought was close to a threat, Jessica lifted a brow at her direction. “Yeah? You wouldn’t be the first one to try putting a hole though my skull.” She knew better than pick a fight with a kid so she stepped away from her but when she did, the drone’s alarm started to get louder. “Seriously, kid. Stop being a twat.”

DAISY JOHNSON

         daisy’s no longer the  PEOPLE PERSON  that she used to be  -  though some remains of a bubbly personality remains,  that takes until the other person reaches about  LEVEL SIX,  at the very least.  otherwise,  strangers get a  HARD TO READ,  agent johnson,  with an outer lying kindness.  daisy may not be a ray of sunshine,  but her kindness didn’t go nowhere either.    “  does it have a shield logo ?  ”   the brunette will drawl out,  brown eyes gazing up from her screen.    “  ‘cause if it is,  i’ll happily let you take mack for run.  if not,  don’t think i can help you  -  unless you want me to shoot or quake it down.  ”

“S.H.I.E.L.D. Great.” She grumbled under her breath and looked for that particular birth symbol. Jessica was not sure if it was an eagle or falcon but she knew exactly what she was looking for. “There’s none. That’s fine I can...” She trailed off when the drone flew out of her range when she tried to reach for it. “You got to be fucking kidding me.” She groaned and looked up at the woman again. “Do I have to stay away if you’re quaking it down or?” She was not able to get the answer to her question when from a distance, she heard heavy footsteps. “What the hell was that?”

[atjessicajones]

Looking around the streets, Jessica found it weird how it was empty when it was just five minutes before nine. Most of the bars are also already close. She was told that there only a few 24/7 stores in the area but the person was in a hurry so she was not able to ask. She had also noticed a swanky looking drone hovering over her and it making those annoying beeping sound which was pissing Jessica off. She glared at the drone before noticing a figure by the window looking at her. “Hey, asshole,” she called out. “Is this your damn toy? Keep this away from me or I will smash it and shove the pieces up in your ass.”
