Cheng: I've seen you in action. I've seen that look in your eye. You're a killer. Jessica: Not today, I'm not. Today, I'm free. Do you know why? No, 'cause you're a shitty investigator. So go talk to the cops, go steal someone else's cases. You know what? Go beat off in the corner, because I don't give a dead moose's last shit. I'm gonna find the actual killer.

How to Stay Classy & On Brand While Spying On Your Enemy by Jessica Jones

Ficlet: Marci Stahl, Six Days Later (Daredevil)

She wakes up to the sound of hammering on the door, and Cheng calling, “Ms. Stahl! You’re going to want to see this right away, and so is Ms. Smith.” Marci wonders if he went to her own apartment first, but she suspects not. She still can barely stand to be in there, and she’s been spending all her past nights here in Jeri’s. There’s no one to stop her from taking over the lease, really. After all, Jeri did will everything to be split up among her associates, and she’s the only one of those still alive.

She fell asleep on the couch in her clothes, so she just dashes into the bathroom, tries to pat her hair into better shape, and then hurries to the door. Cheng is smiling, and holding a flash drive. “Joy Meachum had the best security system money can buy,” he tells her. “But with the camera footage there, I’ve now got it.”

Given what Marci’s pretty sure it contains, maybe he shouldn’t look so happy. But hey, at least he’s not gazing down at the wedding ring she’s had on for less than a month with pity in his eyes, which makes him way better than most of the people she’s interacted with lately.

She boots up her laptop, and together they watch it. Joy Meachum barely had time to hear a scream from one of her neighbors, and look in its direction, confused, before she disintegrated. It creeps Marci out, this woman not at all unlike her dying like that, with only her security cameras there to pay attention or miss her. And when she’s been trying so hard to not think about how alone in the world she is right now.

“So maybe for a split second or so all her cash and private possessions belonged to her brother,” Cheng says, “before he of course died too and passed them on to little Mr. Smith.”

The cash might get disputed, actually. Ms. Meachum was more specific in the willing of her professional assets to four different individuals, and the three still alive can probably try to twist the will’s language to make a claim. It doesn’t help matters that the two siblings still weren’t on the best of terms when they died; Marci knows it shocked some people to hear she’d left him so much.

She’s not even sure how much her clients will care. From the time Colleen Wing, sole heir to Danny Rand and surviving executor for Ward Meachum, first called Jeri’s number and got her instead, neither she nor Bethany Smith have made the vast fortunes they’re supposed be inheriting much of a priority. Ms. Smith does want some money, because she and her son really could do with it, but so long as the latter still inherits a very large sum, the exact numbers are too high to mean much to her. Ms. Wing has freely admitted she mostly wants to police Rand Enterprises’ behavior; Marci suspects she’ll need her later, rather than sooner. If she doesn’t switch to Matt by then, anyway.

For now, she says, “Thank you, Mr. Cheng. If you want breakfast…”

“No time,” he shrugs. “I’ve got six more cases to deal with this morning.”

More than her; Marci only has five today, including the Smiths. But when Cheng is gone and she checks her phone, she finds texts related to two of them. The Janson case might be clearing up, with one nephew likely dead, and his wife withdrawing her challenge. But in the Ghosh case, it seems the grandfather might not be dead after all, but possibly kidnapped.

Before she gets breakfast herself, she’s made a call and sent off four different emails. She doesn’t expect to hear from any of the four recipients until at least the afternoon, if then. Plenty of time to read her way through two different sets of financial records, and wait to see if there’s any news on three other people who still aren’t confirmed as alive or dead. She might even have time to do a little more rereading about inheritance law. She had surprisingly little experience with it before this all started.

She wants to work through the morning. Marci knows she’s going to crash sooner or later, feel all the grief she’s managed to avoid having time for. But she can’t face that yet.

She takes the time to make herself eggs for breakfast; it’s one of those weird things that sooths her enough to be worth it. She eats them facing away from the window; she has a crazy urge to cry when she looks upon the city for too long. Foggy’s ring feels heavy on her finger, but she refuses to take that off.

Jessica Jones: 2x13

Not how I expected the season coming to an end, I was more hoping for a big show down between Jess and her Mum- Still a great ending for a great series.

Jessica and Alisa actually made a pretty great team, I loved the scene where they saved the family from the burning truck- maybe she could have learnt to control her rage with Jess.

Jessica’s reaction after her Mum was killed absolutely destroyed my heart, brilliantly acted.

Genuinely shook when it turned out it was Trish who shot Alisa.

Trish shooting her was a great end to the arc that Trish has been on this season though.

It’s just that now Trish shot her Mum and Malcolm went to work for dick head Pryce Jessica doesn’t have any friends to rely on and this physically hurts me, where will season 3 take her?!?!

At least she’s opening up to Oscar, the two of them together is one of my favourite things to come out of this season- at least she has someone.

Casual Defenders reference giving me life.

Jeri has been through a lot of shit over 13 episodes but blackmailing her partners into giving her a tonne of money, starting her own practice and taking all of her clients with her was one hell of a way to end it.

Still representing Rand as well, so I’m expecting an Iron Fist return (with Malcolm would be great now that he’s working for Jeri).

The more I think about it, Pryce Cheng had been an offscreen presence even before he appeared in Jessica Jones season 2. He was the PI that Jeri used to try to find anything proving Danny's identity. And in The Defenders, Cheng was tailing Jessica from off-camera, which is how Jeri was able to track down Jessica to the city archives (making Jessica's suspicions that Jeri's having her tailed quite accurate).

    That makes a lot of sense, and hadn’t occurred to me. Thanks for sharing!

Cheng is gonna get himself killed. And im okay with that.

[princessjessicajones]

Pryce: Fine. If you can't join 'em, beat 'em. Jessica: Is that what you think you're gonna do? You think you're gonna beat me? Pryce: I'm gonna make you realize that working for me is your best option. Jessica: I always deal with problems head on. And I always deal with threats head on. Meaning I punch them in the head until they're unconscious. Wanna see?
