[EVENING, HOUSE 7 - 21ST JANUARY - CLOSED TO FAITH]
[Death hurts like a bitch. After days of confusion and nights haunted by dreams of a woman's blazing eyes and cruel hands wrapped around his neck, he finally puts the pieces together. Jessica. He remembers what she did. He remembers this place, the strange musty room, the silence.

He takes back his device and scans through the messages. He sees Jessica's public service announcement – Jesus Christ. She told the entire fucking community everything, even his real name. The only thing she neglected to do was provide a picture. How did he ever think he was in love with this woman? He's going to have to hide and he's going to have to change his name. How many people has he introduced himself to? A few: some will remember and recognise him. But a lot won't, and that gives him some breathing space to figure out how to deal with this.

First, he needs a bodyguard, preferably someone who can match Jessica and someone he can control. Someone he knows how to find.

Well, then. A name does come to mind. He goes to House 7, looking around for a familiar face, a girl with dark hair and eyes, a girl who told him that she had super strength. The moment he sees her, he doesn't wait: he has to risk it. He speaks a single, quiet word:]


Stop.


[DAY, HOUSE 9, HOUSE 10 AND OUT AND ABOUT - 23RD/24TH JANUARY - SEMI-OPEN]
[He lies low for a couple of days but he can't hide forever. Eventually Jessica is going to learn that he's back and he'd rather do that on his terms. Be prepared. So he takes Faith out with him and heads first to House 9 where he's looking for Kara, the one other person whose location he knows who is both susceptible to his control and has the ability to protect him.

Then he goes back to House 10, but warily, making Faith check first that Jessica isn't there before going in, and keeping his visit as short as possible. He's here to pick up a couple of things from his room, that's all.

While he's going from house to house, he can be approached – but note that Faith is with him at all times and she is under orders to protect him from any threat or attack. He's sticking to the busiest areas so there will always be NPCs around. Safety in a crowd.]

[Faith can't help the nose wrinkle at that. Married? At least that doesn't really play against how she'd be in a real situation with a real boyfriend. She's hardly even be comfortable with having a boyfriend, let alone considering getting married.] Hadn't really thought about it. We only just started dating.

And, yeah it's great having him here.

[ He notices that little nose wrinkle. He'll make sure to not go too deep into that discussion. Definitely not something she wants to talk about. ] We don't have to talk about it. I was just being curious. Nothing wrong with either. Dating is a good way to figure each other out.

Make sure you're still doing things for yourself though.

[She smiles. Yeah, she can't leave Kilgrave's side as much as she wants to. But she nods all the same.] I will. Promise.

You worried about me, Poe? I'm a big girl.

[ On reflex he smiles back because she seems okay. However, it still doesn't ease that feeling of not seeing the new housemate. Poe though doesn't want to piss Faith off either. He's thinking about his words. ] What?

Is a housemate not allowed to be concerned for another? Especially one that helped me. I know you can take care of yourself. But sometimes, someone else can care for you. I don't know anything about this Robin. Only what you're telling me.

[Faith isn't real good with trusting people to help her or their intentions in doing so. This entire Kilgrave situation will likely make her even less likely to let anyone close. Poe seems nice. But she thought Kilgrave seemed nice enough too. Her jaw clenches. She could let him in to meet 'Robin', but doesn't want to subject him to Kilgrave. Better to push him away to protect him. Be bitchy and maybe he'll leave it be.]

I don't know what you think is going on. But mind your own business. We helped each other move some furniture, not like we're old war buddies.

[ Faith is allowed to judge people how she wants to. Poe does the same thing. However he's been in many situations where people have betrayed him or manipulated him in such a way that he didn't think they would. An old friend once or another person he trusted since they were like family. He knows all about trust and where it could lead to sometimes. ]

Let's not go down this path okay? It's not necessary. I was just concerned nothing more. Some old war buddies can't be trusted. If you want me to leave, just say it. It won't hurt my feelings.

[Well, if he's going to make it that easy for her. She hates herself for what she's typing. But it's better this way. And it's not the first nor the last thing she's going to despise herself for.] Leave then.

[ She didn't even tempt to show him her boyfriend. It's a bit weird. Poe's going to be thinking about that more than what the words say. He types back a response anyway. ]

Fine. But I mean what I said about taking care of yourself. Most people would rather show off who their dating though.

[ He stuffs the device into a pocket before giving her a lifted eyebrow as he goes to walk away and leave as she had told him. ]

[He's leaving, that's all she cares about. It's not great that it seems he's not deterred in continuing to try and help. But he's safe for now. Faith waits until he's gone and then closes the door to turn back to Kilgrave who's not even moved from his spot on the bed.]

[She's the question and knows he'll make her answer if she tells him nothing.]

Just a nosy roommate. Wanted to know where I've been. I got him to leave and mind his own business.

[She shrugs.] I told him to leave and he did. Said he'd leave me alone. Might think something's up, but I don't think he'll do anything about it but insist that I can come to him if I need help.
rockypath: (look at my face)

[personal profile] rockypath 2018-01-29 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[A silent breath of relief. Okay. She moves back to her spot, sitting on the ground near the door.]
