She's a little late—shocker—but, Happy New Year, people.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

@HeLiesBeneath ~with 𝘽𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 of all people and really wishing she had suggested the meeting place. Or least remembered to bring a flask with her for this.

Warming her hands around her mug instead, she fixed the good doctor with a long look.

"You gave me a name...Start there."

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

@HeLiesBeneath "Vague is an understatement, 𝘋𝘰𝘤."

The call from a random payphone; a tip about a military base that official records claimed doesn't even 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁; and then...radio silence. For months.

And now here she was, two trains and a cab ride later, sipping coffee in the Bronx~

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

Someone...is lurking.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

She's got some experience being broke and willing to risk it, yeah. But if he insists...

"You asked," she shrugs, knowing food poisoning is the kind of risk he'll only need to take once. Everybody's gotta learn. "Knock yourself out, man."

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

"If you have to ask, it's probably already bad."

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

His faith in her is staggering. Figures, for a Catholic.

Pin 'em down...and if she's wrong, then she's the asshole with super strength (again) who's harassing innocent people on assumptions from their so-called friends and neighbors.

Even he sees how that might backfire, right?

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

If anyone has 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 to a sixth sense it’s her.

Pin em’ down. Ask a few questions. See how they react or the extent of the information they have. Nothing’s 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦. Just varying degrees of difficulty.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

Soooo, someone would have to have bat-hearing like him, or failing that they'd probably have to be a mind reader to be able to clock one of these guys in a crowd.

That's not tough; the word he was looking for was 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚.

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

Their heartbeats are irregular. Cadence is 𝘰𝘧𝘧 from the typical human’s. Body temperature’s a bit lower too.

Beyond that it’ll be 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 to differentiate.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

replaced by Skrulls! You have to prove it—expose the truth!'

She'd love to know how to tell the difference, if he's sharing? Any more of these conspiracy nuts show up, she's gonna have to move.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

'As far as he can tell'. 𝘏𝘮𝘮.
Guess she's taking his word on that...for now.

But he's right; it's been a mess since the news came out. People have been coming to her for days paranoid because people close to them have been acting wierd lately, so 'they 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩'𝙫𝙚 been~

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

As far as he can tell he is.

But yeah. He heard about that. Things haven’t been any better on the streets after it all. He’s got a good way of determining who’s real and who isn’t though.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

Long week, and it's the aliens' fault again.

And speaking of...he is the real Murdock, right?

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

He wouldn’t dare approach her without some token of reverence.

Long night?

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

. . . If it's as early as she thinks it is, he'd better have at least brought coffee.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

She's here, but also not—

proceed with caution.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

~needs more reasons to drink.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

Nah...unlike his, hers is more of the usual. Hence the procrastinating.

But honestly, she'll take being bored over the cases she worked after the Return. Give her shady business partners, cheating spouses—the more 'interesting' shit just stresses her out. And it's not like she~

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

What’s on her plate? Anything a lawyer can help with?

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

She'll gladly take the seat and the coffee while 𝘩𝘦 has fun sifting through files. Sounds like a nice way to avoid dealing with her own caseload for a couple hours.

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

Exactly.

There’s an extra seat here at Nelson and Murdock if she’s into long case files and a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 of coffee.

Her and Foggy would get on well.

[Jessica Jones @SuchAnAssh0le]

Ah. So Bishop is less an actual client, more a means to an end.

Reminds her of the kind of move Hogarth would've made. Not sure it sits quite right, but logically it makes sense. Smart way to catch the bigger fish.

[𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗸 @HISBLINDRAGE]

Right.

He’s trying to work out something with the DA. If she gives us more of what she has on Fisk, some of the time can be eased. His involvement hinges on 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵. Whatever gets him more information on the Kingpin to put him away. For 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.
