Because I'm scared I might want it, too.

[ it's less about sarissa, and more about her. there's the entire truth, laid bare. goddamn her life. ]

[magnitudes]

Oh.

( That indignant irritation feels a little awkward, now. )

Doesn't have to be bad. I mean, my track record isn't good, but wanting something isn't automatically the worst thing ever, flashing danger lights, and all.

[hardedged]

Your track record isn't good? Well, mine's shit.

[ she's only ever loved two people in her life, and they're both better off without her. ]

[magnitudes]

My fiancée may have left me via frame job or simply not been able to get to me after someone else framed me, so I may still be engaged, technically.

And then the bloke I dated to get over her - didn't work, bee-tee-dubs - electrocuted me and hacked my head open.

I'd give you solid competition, at least.

[hardedged]

Jesus.

[ okay, solid competition for sure. ]

Wait. That dick you dated. He's the one that killed you?

[magnitudes]

( Say no. Say no. Say no. )

Yes. But you aren't gonna do anything about it because he will hurt my sisters if anyone finds out.

[hardedged]

Yeah fucking right.

[ that asshole's going down. ]

[magnitudes]

I'll stop you myself if I have to. You arent risking my sisters.

[hardedged]

You can't just let that prick get away with what he did.

[magnitudes]

He's invincible! I'm not-- He's invincible and they are the only people in the world that matter. Fuckin' watch me.

[hardedged]

Bullshit.

[ no one's invincible. ]

You protect your sisters. I'll handle him.

[magnitudes]

Do you trust me?

[hardedged]

Not when you're being a dumbass.

[magnitudes]

Way to bloody torpedo my request that you listen to me.

[hardedged]

You're welcome.

Now knock the martyr crap off. We'll figure it out, but don't let him win.

[magnitudes]

( strangled rage sounds, tbh )

God I wish I could say that I hate you.

( UGH. )

[hardedged]

Yeah well, the feeling's mutual.

[magnitudes]

Thanks for that, nice to know our situation is so healthy.

[hardedged]

If you're trying to change the subject, you'll have to do better than that.

So spill. I need details on this bastard.

[magnitudes]

Gabriel Gray. He can steal powers, that's why he killed me. He has some sort of electrocution lightning power and invincibility. He could have copied my memory reading or enhanced condition or pyrotechnics, or all of them, I have no idea. He fixes watches— he will kill the girls, Jessica. Please don't.

[hardedged]

[ her brow furrows, and she actually takes a moment to pause and consider the situation. then, with a sigh, jess reaches out, resting her hands on sarissa's shoulders. ]

Hey, look. He won't. I'll stop him. Promise.

[magnitudes]

I made him feel three bullets ripping though him and he barely staggered. The strongest pyrotechnic bullshit I had didn't do anything. You have no idea what he can do and he can just keep getting stronger.

( Her arms are hugged around herself, head dropping lower. )

Alison and Cosima and Sarah are the only good things about me, Jess. They're my saving bloody grace, I can't let him hurt them.

[hardedged]

[ she quiets for a moment, absorbing that information. she can't blame sarissa for protecting her sisters above everything else. jess would do the same, after all. ]

Sarissa, remember the party?

[ when she nullified sarissa's abilities. jess is insistent in her response, and for once, it's not merely due to her stubborn nature. ]

I can turn off his powers. Shut him down.

[magnitudes]

You can turn them off.

( Oh. She blinks a couple of times, before she seems able to focus on Jessica. )

Oh my god.

[hardedged]

[ jess nods, her hands drifting down as she releases her grip. ]

We'll make him pay.
