[ He can take her omission of an answer to that first question as a yes. Or not. Whatever. ]

Here?
I'm thinking contract breaches, false representation, and a lot of tracking down stolen shit.

well try investigating me and you'll be out on your ass, got that

good money tho?

[ He's still constantly trying to suss out what the best hustles are around here because like hell is he going to suffer getting a "real job." ]

Please.
I already know too much about you.

[ despite the fact that they never talk. the dream girlfriend experience was more than enough for her... even if she is curious how that relationship ended. ]

good cuz that makes 2 of us

[ It also just seems safer that way... the way they have it now, keeping a distance, because Jess definitely lowkey gives off Billy Butcher "will fuck up your life over next to nothing" vibes. ]

[ And yet, it occurs to her to ask ]

Are you just living off Lance?

fuck no
I keep her happy as hell, ask her yourself
shit's been fine

Just making sure that raise she wanted was a matter of respect and not necessity.

oh yeah THAT shit's got nothing to do with me
seems like a fucked up situation tho

Seems like.
Good luck with that.

yeah I'm not trynna fucking get involved

If Sionis comes after her you better fucking get involved.

[ He could respond with "who the fuck is that," except 1) he can pretty much guess by now, just from context, and 2) he doesn't really want Jess unloading whatever dirty details she knows on him, so: ]

is that her creepy ass boss
sounded to me like she had that shit handled

Creepy ass boss with the creepy ass club.

[ which it sounds like he might never have been to and, if so, hello, first thing about A-Train she's ever respected, she didn't see you there ]

Its more his boyfriend that's worth worrying about.
Just bump up your security or stay in housing.

yeah that one. don't even wanna know what kind of fucked up customer base any joint called "insecurity" is bound to have

[ Not that he hasn't been tempted to visit a time or two just to watch Dinah perform, but... fuck that. He isn't setting foot in a place called "Insecurity" unless he has to. ]

well that's vague as hell
I mean you know what I can do right? it's not we're fucking helpless here

[ He's not really supposed to be running but you know, whatever. ]

[ it's a shame this isn't a less serious conversation or she'd have some jab to make about his obvious inferiority complex. let it never be said that she plays nice with her Dom out of actual self-preservation. ]

Yeah you don't exactly keep it a secret.
SIN guns, tranq darts, magic shit. There's always something.

I'm talkin about against di's creepy boss's creepy boyfriend
does he have any of that shit.

I do.
If I can get it, so can he.

why the fuck do you have that

Not the conversation.

yeah well neither was fucking dinah

It's for putting a dent into assholes with superpowers. It predates you so you can relax.
At least where I'm concerned.

[ GOD, NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN... ]

ok but then what the fuck do YOU got against supes
someone accidentally run thru your boyfriend once or some shit

Where the hell did that example come from?

jesus it's just a fucking joke

[ uuuh huuuh. goodbye, shred of respect. it was nice meeting you. ]

Stick to running.
The point is, anyone who knows what you can do can find a way around it.
