frank puts her gun back on her belt and busts out of the closet, wrapping her arms under Charlotte's and holding them behind her back.

Charlottes world stopped. Every bit of anger or hate she had washed away as she looked at Frank. Her jaw was wide until she completely broke, clutching unto her tightly as she sobbed.

frank doesn't say anything and shuts the door behind Charlotte as she steps out.

He arrives first, donning his iron suit, landing on the floor. "Matty, call your dog off. I'm only here for you and if you don't come out, I will kill Madeline Gallagher-Covington tonight. I have her, and I know you know that I am not lying." He takes aim at Frank, a silver bullet travels out of his suit, hits her leg and wraps around her like a bracelet, soon encasing her in a suit. She's allowed a hole where her face is to breathe and see. He takes aim at Lottie and fires off a second one.

Charlotte yelps and quickly moves, rushing back into murdocks room, shutting the door, looking at him.
“Okay, look. I’m so sorry Matt, but that guy out there is take what he wants, and I’d rather it not be you.” She whispered, keeping her distance. “Please, I wanna help. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” She nods softly, keeping the door shut tightly.

"Go."
▪︎ He scales the building, working through the pain that it sends through his wrists.
■ One wrong move and his two months of healing could easily turn into four.
▪︎ He pulls himself onto the rooftop, laying on his back to catch his breath.
A series of rapid fire texts get sent Matt's way:
'Not immune to this Killgrave. Different from ours. Harder to resist.'
'Tried to keep Lottie away from him. Kinda worked. She hates me now'
'Lost my flask ☹️'
'Need new plan. Ideas?'
▪︎ Matt lays on the roof listening to the messages, his heart sinks.
■ Jess's immunity didn't extend to this Killgrave variant, this guy either had a different strand of multiversal virus or it wasn't a virus at all, great.

"Text her back. Hang in there Jess. I am working on a plan, sorta. Send message."
■ He didn't actually have a plan, but he wasn't going to tell her that.
▪︎ When the bulk of the pain subsides he sits up, grabs his crutches, and goes to the power supply box. He cuts what he assumes are the lights, listening as the hum of energy down below dies down.
Jessica switched back to TikTok, seeming to be mindlessly scrolling through the videos while actually scanning their surroundings. Her hand reached out to a tray when they passed by, one syringe of sufentanil had been acquired.
She frowned when the lights went out, shoving her phone into her pocket, "Must've blown a fuse." She muttered, with her newly free hand, she injected the syringe into Killgrave's arm. "Lights out mean nap time, right?"
*Still angry from Charlotte running away, his walk is faster and more aggresive*
I think Murdock's room is up he-
*He stops and looks down at his arm, then to Jessica, holding the syringe. Betrayal, anger, and sadness wash over him all at once, realizing what she'd done*
Jessica-
*He starts to feel weak. Dizzy. Need to sit down and... No. He had a mission to complete. He could rest tomorrow morning*
You find Stark and do as he says. Kill anyone who gets in your way. NOW!
Jessica met his gaze, glaring at him. "And you enjoy your nap, Murdercorpse."
She tried to push his order out of her mind, her body moved automatically, as soon as she was sure he couldn't see her face, her expression fell. Fear and worry washed over her all at once. One person at the forefront of her mind: Reva Cage.
How many more Reva's would she make tonight?
She continued through the hall, going up to Matthew's room, at least until she saw Frank going to the roof. She followed after her, "Hey, Frank! Where's Stark?"
"tryin ta get to matt, come on" she waves for Jess to follow
"No, Frank, I need you to shoot me. Somewhere non-lethal preferably because if I run into Stark I will have to do what he says. I am not completely immune to this Killgrave. Slow me down before I have to kill you."
"what- no! i can't shoot you!?" she shakes her head "what if I lock you in a closet or somethin?"
"You do that, I will kill you, not my fucking choice. Pull out your gun and shoot me. Don't try to argue with me on this. We don't have the time."
frank pauses for a moment and pulls out her gun "I owe you a free shot then" she says before aiming at the woman's thigh "and a really strong drink" she shoots
"Shit that hurts." Jessica sucked in air through her teeth, "Jim Beam is my drink of choice. Kilgrave should be asleep for the next two hours. I'm staying here until his virus wears off."
"Now, go stop Stark."
"if I give you a gun right now will you shoot me or can I give it to you just in case that freak comes looking for you?"
she's already sliding out the window
"Keep your gun. I'd shoot you the second it gets in my hands. Go."
she nods and runs out to the rooftop.

▪︎ He grabs the crutches and gets up, his hands are trembling, barely holding onto the handles.
frank runs between them "if you want him, you bit metal coward, you'll have to kill me first!!"
"If you insist." His arc reactor hummed and then shot a beam at Frank, settings set to exterminate her.
frank ducks and pushes Matt down to the ground too before throwing her knife right in between the plates of the armour, sinking right into his right knee
she runs over and shoves him to the ground and kicks the knife deeper into the joint before getting another knife and stabbing it into the arc reactor
The knife dented the metal when it hit his suit. His elbow slams into her head, metal meeting bone in an instant. He fell back, arc reactor flickering then glowing, strong and steady, "We'll be right back, Matty! We're going for a ride!" Thrusters roared to life and in an instant they were traveling up, into the sky.
"Wednesday, get the second suit for the way back down. I want Matty impressed."
" Yes sir, Mr. Stark. "
He pressed his hands against Frank and blasted her in the stomach, suit already loading missiles to follow up the blow. "Stay out of my way, Castle. Matty's mine. He wants to go with me."
Frank's head goes back with the hit but she brings it back just as fast and spits all the blood into his visor, covering it completely.
she sinks the knife into a plate on his neck now just to stay on him "I really don't like bein this close to you, you son of a bitch" she spits out, the blood dripping down her chin
she feels the blast hit her vest and she groans with the impact "why can't you understand he doesn't want you?? no one wants someone like you!!" she sinks the knife deeper and twists it, ripping the layers of metal before stabbing it down and doing it again and again. she yells out like an animal, refusing to look down or focus on anything else

Jessica switched back to TikTok, seeming to be mindlessly scrolling through the videos while actually scanning their surroundings. Her hand reached out to a tray when they passed by, one syringe of sufentanil had been acquired.
She frowned when the lights went out, shoving her phone into her pocket, "Must've blown a fuse." She muttered, with her newly free hand, she injected the syringe into Killgrave's arm. "Lights out mean nap time, right?"
*Still angry from Charlotte running away, his walk is faster and more aggresive*
I think Murdock's room is up he-
*He stops and looks down at his arm, then to Jessica, holding the syringe. Betrayal, anger, and sadness wash over him all at once, realizing what she'd done*
Jessica-
*He starts to feel weak. Dizzy. Need to sit down and... No. He had a mission to complete. He could rest tomorrow morning*
You find Stark and do as he says. Kill anyone who gets in your way. NOW!
Jessica met his gaze, glaring at him. "And you enjoy your nap, Murdercorpse."
She tried to push his order out of her mind, her body moved automatically, as soon as she was sure he couldn't see her face, her expression fell. Fear and worry washed over her all at once. One person at the forefront of her mind: Reva Cage.

She continued through the hall, going up to Matthew's room, at least until she saw Frank going to the roof. She followed after her, "Hey, Frank! Where's Stark?"
"tryin ta get to matt, come on" she waves for Jess to follow
"No, Frank, I need you to shoot me. Somewhere non-lethal preferably because if I run into Stark I will have to do what he says. I am not completely immune to this Killgrave. Slow me down before I have to kill you."
"what- no! i can't shoot you!?" she shakes her head "what if I lock you in a closet or somethin?"
"You do that, I will kill you, not my fucking choice. Pull out your gun and shoot me. Don't try to argue with me on this. We don't have the time."
frank pauses for a moment and pulls out her gun "I owe you a free shot then" she says before aiming at the woman's thigh "and a really strong drink" she shoots
"Shit that hurts." Jessica sucked in air through her teeth, "Jim Beam is my drink of choice. Kilgrave should be asleep for the next two hours. I'm staying here until his virus wears off."
"Now, go stop Stark."
"if I give you a gun right now will you shoot me or can I give it to you just in case that freak comes looking for you?"

Charlotte alone barges in, immediately grabbing Matt, putting her claws to his throat, clearly agitated and not in the right headspace.
“Where the fuck is she, Murdock! Are you working with them too, huh!?” She screamed in his face, her claws inching closer. God knows what Charlotte would do if Frank was gone.

She hissed and accidentally clawed his face a bit.
“I’m gunna fucking kill you, Murdock. Then I’m gunna kill Killgrave, then stark and lastly jones.”
frank puts her gun back on her belt and busts out of the closet, wrapping her arms under Charlotte's and holding them behind her back.
"Lottie! I'm right here! Matt's a friend!"
Charlottes world stopped. Every bit of anger or hate she had washed away as she looked at Frank. Her jaw was wide until she completely broke, clutching unto her tightly as she sobbed.
"I got you Lottie, I got you...Jesus Christ what did you do to him?" she has one arm around Charlotte while she walks over to check on Matt "hey, Murdock, what happened? you alright? should I call a nurse?" she's already extremely concerned for him too

“Sorry.” She whispered, immediately stepping away.
frank doesn't say anything and shuts the door behind Charlotte as she steps out.
she doesn't even look at her, just watching the hallways waiting for them to come looking for Matt.
He arrives first, donning his iron suit, landing on the floor. "Matty, call your dog off. I'm only here for you and if you don't come out, I will kill Madeline Gallagher-Covington tonight. I have her, and I know you know that I am not lying." He takes aim at Frank, a silver bullet travels out of his suit, hits her leg and wraps around her like a bracelet, soon encasing her in a suit. She's allowed a hole where her face is to breathe and see. He takes aim at Lottie and fires off a second one.
//Over here now, tagging everyone!
Charlotte yelps and quickly moves, rushing back into murdocks room, shutting the door, looking at him.
“Okay, look. I’m so sorry Matt, but that guy out there is take what he wants, and I’d rather it not be you.” She whispered, keeping her distance. “Please, I wanna help. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” She nods softly, keeping the door shut tightly.

"Go."
▪︎ He scales the building, working through the pain that it sends through his wrists.
■ One wrong move and his two months of healing could easily turn into four.
▪︎ He pulls himself onto the rooftop, laying on his back to catch his breath.
A series of rapid fire texts get sent Matt's way:
'Not immune to this Killgrave. Different from ours. Harder to resist.'
'Tried to keep Lottie away from him. Kinda worked. She hates me now'
'Lost my flask ☹️'
'Need new plan. Ideas?'
▪︎ Matt lays on the roof listening to the messages, his heart sinks.
■ Jess's immunity didn't extend to this Killgrave variant, this guy either had a different strand of multiversal virus or it wasn't a virus at all, great.

▪︎ When the bulk of the pain subsides he sits up, grabs his crutches, and goes to the power supply box. He cuts what he assumes are the lights, listening as the hum of energy down below dies down.
Jessica switched back to TikTok, seeming to be mindlessly scrolling through the videos while actually scanning their surroundings. Her hand reached out to a tray when they passed by, one syringe of sufentanil had been acquired.
She frowned when the lights went out, shoving her phone into her pocket, "Must've blown a fuse." She muttered, with her newly free hand, she injected the syringe into Killgrave's arm. "Lights out mean nap time, right?"
*Still angry from Charlotte running away, his walk is faster and more aggresive*
I think Murdock's room is up he-
*He stops and looks down at his arm, then to Jessica, holding the syringe. Betrayal, anger, and sadness wash over him all at once, realizing what she'd done*
Jessica-
*He starts to feel weak. Dizzy. Need to sit down and... No. He had a mission to complete. He could rest tomorrow morning*
You find Stark and do as he says. Kill anyone who gets in your way. NOW!
Jessica met his gaze, glaring at him. "And you enjoy your nap, Murdercorpse."
She tried to push his order out of her mind, her body moved automatically, as soon as she was sure he couldn't see her face, her expression fell. Fear and worry washed over her all at once. One person at the forefront of her mind: Reva Cage.
How many more Reva's would she make tonight?
She continued through the hall, going up to Matthew's room, at least until she saw Frank going to the roof. She followed after her, "Hey, Frank! Where's Stark?"
"tryin ta get to matt, come on" she waves for Jess to follow
"No, Frank, I need you to shoot me. Somewhere non-lethal preferably because if I run into Stark I will have to do what he says. I am not completely immune to this Killgrave. Slow me down before I have to kill you."
"what- no! i can't shoot you!?" she shakes her head "what if I lock you in a closet or somethin?"
"You do that, I will kill you, not my fucking choice. Pull out your gun and shoot me. Don't try to argue with me on this. We don't have the time."
frank pauses for a moment and pulls out her gun "I owe you a free shot then" she says before aiming at the woman's thigh "and a really strong drink" she shoots

She continued through the hall, going up to Matthew's room, at least until she saw Frank going to the roof. She followed after her, "Hey, Frank! Where's Stark?"
"tryin ta get to matt, come on" she waves for Jess to follow
"hey red! i gotta talk to you. it's important"

Charlotte alone barges in, immediately grabbing Matt, putting her claws to his throat, clearly agitated and not in the right headspace.
“Where the fuck is she, Murdock! Are you working with them too, huh!?” She screamed in his face, her claws inching closer. God knows what Charlotte would do if Frank was gone.

frank puts her gun back on her belt and busts out of the closet, wrapping her arms under Charlotte's and holding them behind her back.
"Lottie! I'm right here! Matt's a friend!"
Charlottes world stopped. Every bit of anger or hate she had washed away as she looked at Frank. Her jaw was wide until she completely broke, clutching unto her tightly as she sobbed.
"I got you Lottie, I got you...Jesus Christ what did you do to him?" she has one arm around Charlotte while she walks over to check on Matt "hey, Murdock, what happened? you alright? should I call a nurse?" she's already extremely concerned for him too

she takes a deep breath and finishes getting her guns ready "we're meeting them outside the room, we're not involving him anymore" she says to Charlotte as she steps out of the room. she looks back in "get away from him. now." @blackcatirl
“Sorry.” She whispered, immediately stepping away.
frank doesn't say anything and shuts the door behind Charlotte as she steps out.
she doesn't even look at her, just watching the hallways waiting for them to come looking for Matt.
He arrives first, donning his iron suit, landing on the floor. "Matty, call your dog off. I'm only here for you and if you don't come out, I will kill Madeline Gallagher-Covington tonight. I have her, and I know you know that I am not lying." He takes aim at Frank, a silver bullet travels out of his suit, hits her leg and wraps around her like a bracelet, soon encasing her in a suit. She's allowed a hole where her face is to breathe and see. He takes aim at Lottie and fires off a second one.
//Over here now, tagging everyone!
frank slides another small gun from her belt and pokes it through the opening. she takes a deep breath, waiting for a moment where she's got a clear target before shooting, aiming for Stark's reactor.
Wednesday was already watching the movement.
" Incoming, move left. "
Stark moved as instructed, the bullet landing in the wall behind him, he reared his foot back and slammed it into the metal casing she was in, thrusters activated for an extra boost. "Annoying bitch." He growled, the impact splitting the wooden door open. "You are not getting in my way!"
"Matty! It's time to go home! Wednesday, activate search and recovery mode, bring what's mine back to me already."
" Searching for Matthew Murdock. "
"let me out of here and give me a fair fight then!! whattt, you scared of me?!" she laughs mockingly "man needs all his gadgets to beat up a woman n get back his soulmate, ain't that just the saddest thing?" she laughs again and spits at him through the opening
"Still wouldn't be a fair fight, you're a woman. Now do what women do and be silent." He flew through the room, checking under bed and then the supply closet. Took him longer than he would have liked to notice the open window.
He flew outside. "Matthew! Let's go!" He yelled, flying into the air to get an aerial view of the area. "See him yet, Wednesday?"
" Tracking, sir. "
"still more man than you are!!" she sounds practically joyful "you're so scared of a woman you gotta shut her up" she grins "can't even fight her like a pathetic piece of shit, you're all talk. you're a coward"
"Be a good girl and shut up!" Stark does a lap over the hospital, trackers finally getting a ping when they spot his beloved on the rooftop. "There you are. Matty, come down from there, you're going to get hurt. Worse than you already are." He flies over to the lawyer, his lawyer, his Matthew. "Come on, let's go home."
frank takes her knife from her belt and starts to slide it between the plates of the suit, cutting through it while he's gone.
after a while she's finally free, the suit in pieces on the ground.
she runs in the direction he left in and goes up to meet Matt on the roof.
