“ i never respect my elders, ”   she is quick to point out, knowing that most of her elders tortured her or forced her onto stupid missions that worked for the bad guys. elders were overrated.   “ i’m going home. obviously. ”   jessica takes another step towards him in order to show that she was not afraid. that, in fact, he needed to be afraid of her.   “ so, you should get out of my way. ”

_{“you’ll have to eventually.” that was just how the real-world worked. he could have gone on about it, but instead, he gave a shrug in return. no, he wasn’t going to do anything stupid – well, more so than usually. “see, i could get out of your way or… we could talk.” he took a step closer in return – his own way of raising the stakes – “i believe… the move is,” a pause, “how do they say it these days? oh, right – yours.”}
