some plotted shit for @fistsandcaffeine
heavy sighs left his lips, looking around at the carnage that only they could cause. his hand held his ribs, subtly trying to see if there were any serious injuries. few bruises, a crack or two, but nothing he couldn’t use his chi to fix.
he turned to look at everyone who’d shown up just as this thing was winding down. he was happy to see some of them, elektra, black cat, colleen... really happy to see colleen again, but that’s when he saw her.
“ shit... ” eyes lingered on misty for a moment, hoping she was going to keep ignoring him, for once. normally he’d talk to her, attempt to remain friends with the woman he wanted to marry, not that she was keen to let him. he wasn’t in the mood to steam clean his memory after trying to talk civilly to her.
if it was possible there was one person he wanted to see even less... and she didn’t even really know why. he looked at spider woman, the thin disguise of those glasses not doing much to hide her gaze... the gaze he once loved, ironically. while the rest of the defenders engaged in happy conversation with the newcomers, he was really hoping they didn’t notice he was staying back... and maybe still watching jess and hoping she didn’t notice.
