Even if you had done all that, there's so many things he could have done or said to work around it. [it's easy to comfort Faith, to tell her the things that she doesn't believe for herself. sure, Faith's a slayer, but her specialty lies in vampires, demons, the forces of darkness. Kara's a superhero, and Kilgrave is the truest definition of a villain that Kara's seen in a very long time. She should have taken care of it, of him.

Then again, wasn't he one of the ones she failed? That was her whole job, her whole purpose: protect Kilgrave. And he's died twice now. Who knows how many more times Jessica or anyone else will kill him before they get out of here. Should she protect him from that? She'd told him she wouldn't, but...

That's what she's here for.

Kara inhales deeply, trying to squelch the growing panic, keep it from erupting again.]

I'm so tired of feeling this way, Faith. I can't stop thinking about everyone who's died. He's making me think about it, and I know he made me think about it, but it's just... this movie, in my head, and I can't stop replaying it. And he hurt you so much, I just... I hate that he did that.

[she turns then, pressing her face into Faith's neck.]
