Look, my parents were mad scientists who pumped me full of spider-juice just to see what would happen. I went to Hail Hydra high school and Nick Fury university. I've been extraordinary my entire life. After all these years of insanity... a little ordinary sounds pretty #$%^ great. You have your normal... and I have mine.
“Hey– hey- don’t say that,” Roger dismissed Jessica’s hypothetical suggestion with a sympathetic smile, chest warm at the compliment that followed. The Roger of years ago never would have guessed this is where his life could have ended up. He was hopeless. A petty criminal, with a pending divorce and an estranged daughter. But somehow, things got better. Infinitely better. And he knew just exactly what – or who – to attribute this all to.
She was standing right in front of him.
“Hey, there’s a hot shower with your name on it–” Roger grinned, gesturing down the hall toward the bathroom.
“Hey,” Jess shot one back at him with her hands thrown up in surrender. “I’m a realist and therefore obligated to make those statements. Also, shut up. That was a morbid compliment. Be flattered.” Her boots came off next and were tossed one on top of the other into the corner. The gross white shirt joined them before Jessica gave Roger a thumbs up and ambled down the hall.
She loved him.
It hadn’t been the plan, but somewhere along the line Jessica had fallen in love with Roger. Before he had been a joke ( unfortunately ) a punny one of kinda crook you put behind bars while warming up for the real show. He was, of course, so much more than that. He was kind and considerate and had become a better person because that was the man Kali needed. By doing so, he became a man that Jessica wanted in her life.
The water was blissfully warm on aching bones and bruised skin, but Jess knew she had to get out eventually or she would die in there. Wrapping herself in a clean towel she moved back out to where her husband was. “Maybe this is a good time to get a new costume.” She kicked at the discarded one. “A little I didn’t die again gift for myself.”
