I have such a fucking headache.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

I need a fucking drink. Or a day off.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Fisk is like, barely my circus. It’s more of a systemic injustice anyway. He’s been locked up like, who knows how many times? And I fight the system every day, so. You’re just sentimental, and sometimes for the wrong people.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

What does a steamy make out session have to do with standing up to injustice? You know, forgiving him just like, perpetuates that the behavior is okay. I hate that ‘they’ve changed so it’s okay now’ shit.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

You know, I could like, write something up. I’m on a lot of forums.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Not to mention the coverup. I guess you could alter the message however you want running a popular media outlet like that. Guess you could write your involvement out too. Well, and that’s the problem with people and money. It just turns them fucking evil.

…PI brain working overtime here.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

The guy from the Bugle? Where’d he get that kind of funding? They sell papers, sure, but not enough to fund supervillain creation. Skimming wouldn’t go unnoticed either. Jamison is somewhat wealthy outside of the paper business, but again, not that wealthy. It was just him? No benefactor?

Oh, yeah. You’re totally at a disadvantage, Jess. What the fuck? She doesn’t let her being entirely out of her depth show on her face though. She’s calm, collected, maybe a little stern. “Yeah, I know it. You tell me your version, though.” Totally lying.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

She blinks. Is she at a disadvantage? She doesn’t feel like she is. Maybe she is then. What would someone really smart say? “All of it.” Nailed it.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Wow. My parents just stayed dead. People really like cloning shit and building shit to fuck with you. I wonder why that is.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“No, I know. I’m like, really good with faces.” Part of the whole PI thing. The things that get stuck in her brain…

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“Right, well, I’m…I guess you already know.” That’s not new. A lot of people just seem to know her. She chalks it up to being good at her job and hopefully nothing else.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

I’m not. You have clones. I have…what I have.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Staring. Face all scrunched up like that’ll make her recognize this lady. Nope. No bells rung.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Your what. Why were you roasting your clone daughter? Who the fuck cloned your daughter? That’s some seriously sick shit.

000

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“My hero.” The sarcastic tone is more than obvious as she sets down her empty bottle. “Sure do. Keep ‘em coming.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< don’t text you back and I’m like, constantly in some fucked up shit and you never know if I’m going to show up or not?”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< boarding on an epiphany, but she’ll likely be a little to stubborn to acknowledge it. If she never finishes the thought, it never happened. Can’t rely on you to make me better, I have to make me better. Yeah, no. “You’re telling me you like this?” She gestures at herself. “The drinking and I >

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< of her cheek again. Coppery tang of her blood on her tongue. She frowns. “It’s not just dark. It’s a bottomless pit, Peter. You can’t flashlight or pull your way out of a bottomless pit. A-and that’s not fair to you either! You know? I don’t…I can’t rely on you to make me better.” This is >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< the first she’s heard that from him. She isn’t sure how much merit she can put to it though. He’s saying it without seeing the whole picture. He doesn’t know what he’s saying it to. “It should. I mean, it does. I just…I’m like an anchor, in the bad way. I’m cement shoes.” Chewing the inside >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< cases that remind her about that shit she went through. Too many girls, too many creeps. Maybe it’s put her in a spiral. She could just…not take the cases, but if she doesn’t, who will? She can’t do all the good he does in a costume. She has to do it with her case work. She blinks. Definitely >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< Like he can see all the shit she sees in herself, and now he knows it’s there. Maybe he is fucked up, but he holds himself together quite a bit better. It’s not a competition, but fuck, only one of them wakes up with whiskey breath. It’s not him. And maybe all this is derived from too many >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

He doesn’t know the half of it. There’s a reason she hasn’t told him, and he better not have asked around about it. That’s her shit to tell. It’s just…hard to talk about. Especially to someone who apparently thinks so much of her. The last thing she wants is for him to look at her all…different. >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< saying the word ‘happy’ will kill her. It feels like it might. She takes a breath. “Like, when I’m with you, I am. I can’t be with you all the time, and I don’t want to be.” She had her fill of a man’s constant attention. She needs her privacy. “I’m too fucked up, I think.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< his question. Him having to ask that kind of guts her, and she didn’t think she could feel more like shit than she already did. Thinking about the answer, the real answer, makes her feel even worse than that. “I don’t…I dunno. It’s not that you don’t. I just don’t think I…can be that.” Like >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“I’ve heard that before and it’s been so not true.” She points out, like that defends her immaturity in being unable to explain herself. When did you lose your edge, Jess? Around the same time you became a lonely loser or? She chews on the inside of her cheek. Jess finally looks up at him at >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< reach a hand up and scratch the back of her head. He’ll know those are all cop out excuses because none of it is shit he cares about. He’s got you dead to rights, Jessica. “Because I suck, and I’m kind of a downer. I guess I’m just…trying to spare you from the shitstorm.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“Well, yeah. I eat your food and break your shit and we have like, no hobbies in common.” She says, not really making direct eye contact. Still fidgeting with the glass idly. Doing her very best not to accidentally shatter it by holding it too tight. She abruptly stops her fidgeting so she can >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Anyone who says ‘do you know who I am?!’ or some shit like that automatically loses. Everybody knows that.

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

< and now you’ll save on…uh, apple juice.” She starts nodding, and then looks up from her empty glass to see what of hers she can spot around here. “Well, and I can bring back your t-shirts and stuff.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Fuck. Shit. This is a big bag of fucking shit. Shitbag. Fuck. Also the hole you dug for yourself, Jess. You shitfuck idiot. Okay, time to jump to conclusions. You’ve been saying nothing for too long. “I can probably clear my stuff out tonight, if you want. I mean, I didn’t ever bring much over >

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

“Well, if it does, you mind keeping me out of it? I get enough boots thrown at my face as it is.” Lifting her beer to finish it off.

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Character. She watches him inhale his juice and when he speaks, she sets her sights on the empty glass. Fidgeting with it. “Uh…what about?”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

It seems her reputation does not proceed her. That’s probably a good thing. “Just my usual luck, yeah. You?”

110

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

He goes unanswered for a moment as she drinks nearly half the beer. “Yep. The usual.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

That’s called character. It wasn’t a great note. She obviously cannot succeed at losing a guy in however many days. He’s stubborn. “I’m too good of an investigator to take months on a case, Peter.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

What’s wrong with the bar she hides out in? “That’s what they say.” She polishes off the rest of her juice and sets the empty glass down on the counter. She peeks up at him, nose still scrunched. “Well, yeah, because you’re all sentimental.”

100

JONES. @packapunchpi.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Taking it, no questions asked. Flicking the cap off with a finger.
