Here it is, an idea I've had for a while now but finally realized. Though it would seem strange to combine the two shows I think they have enough in common. This will be an AU. Modern day. Mainly an introduction but a taste for things to come. No warnings for this chapter. Tell me what you think!

It was a cold New York city night. Not a winter chill but not the warmth of summer either. A girl that had never travelled across state or out of her own town for that matter was getting off a bus and had to navigate her way through the twisted and crowded streets. Still in high school, Nancy Wheeler looked a lot younger and looked a lot more vulnerable than she was. She had never been anywhere on her own. This was certainly a lot different from Hawkins, Indiana. She held her thin jacket close to her chest; She was on a mission and couldn't back out now.


Asleep at her desk after finishing an entire bottle of burbon, Jessica Jones wasn't expecting any clients to arrive at her apartment/private investigator 's office that day. Sure, she might have been an alcoholic but she still had the skills needed to solve a case.

She switched in and out of conciousness. She swore she could see someone walking up the hall from behind her apartment/office door window but it then seemed to blur out of existence. She closed her eyes. Head down on the desk as she tried to blackout.

"Jessica Jones?"

Lifting her head slowly like it weighed 100 tons, she faced this young girl standing there looking worried. She was cute, naive, her face in a permanent state of panic and in the wrong neighbourhood.

"...ugh?"

"I-I'm sorry...I tried to call...I know...I know it's late but I really need to talk to you."

"How did you get in?" Jessica stared at her angrily, her tone very dry.

"It was unlocked...it was opened a bit and your light was on so..."

Jessica massaged her temples, "Fuck."

"Sorry, this was a bad idea...can we talk tomorrow?"

"Kid, how old are you?"

"I'm not a kid. I'm 18," she laughed nervously.

"Look, I'm not working on anything new, ok?" She stood up and walked over to the door, poking her head outside to see if anyone sketchy was wandering the halls.

"I think this will interest you. There's this lab in my town. They've been doing these secret experiments for years. There's been a lot of strange things happening lately. My friend went missing and..."

Jessica was only half listening as she fetched herself a bottle of the only water in her entire apartment. "Yeah, well unless you have any proof that the two are connected..."

Nancy showed her some poloroids she took. Black and white photos of the main gate of this secret lab deep in the woods. "I did some background on you, Miss Jones. I think this lab might be responsible for what happened to you..."

Jessica frowned and just stared at her for a second. "You don't know anything..."

"Nancy. Wheeler," she stuck out her hand but Jessica turned away from her.

"It's time for you to go, kid." She opened the door, standing there, watching and waiting for her to make her move.

"Please, I came a really long way and you're the best at this. There could be kids younger than me being experimented on and I can't stand by and do nothing."

Jessica closed her eyes and exhaled loudly, "Go home."

Nancy shook her head in disbelief, ready to cry, "I can't believe you. I-I don't understand."

"It's out of my hands. Maybe try the Avengers, kid. I'm sure Hawkeye is available."

Nancy glared at her for a second, turned away and stepped out. "You have to be the most impossible person I've ever met..." Nancy felt a sharp pain ad if someone stabbed a pick through her forehead. She keeled over a bit, losing her balance.

"What is it?" Jessica asked showing a moment of concern. Nancy held her hand up at her to back away. The pain went away and she collected herself, walking back to the elevator.

Jessica locked her door and sighed, "You want my help, now you don't want my help. Typical."

She poured herself some scotch and sat down. She looked over the photos Nancy left for curiosity sake. The building did look off and the logo seemed familiar. Nancy must have just gotten this film developed because there were some of her and another girl. The other girl she took as her missing friend. She started feeling guilt or maybe it was just her stomach. After she finished that drink she decided maybe she should look into this. Maybe find Nancy too because she didn't have a place to stay tonight.

She put the glass down, accidently shattering it and leaving a huge dent in the desk; one of the many disadvantages of being her.

She bundled up with her only leather jacket and ran to the elevator. She could still be able to catch up with her. No one in the lobby and she couldn't pick her out on the street. If she was a desperate girl at that age in the big Apple for the first time and a one track mind she would starving which could explain why she reacted that way when she left. There was a greasy pizza place nearby, cheap but filling. She walked onward, hands in her pockets, getting weird glances, mainly creeps. She thought she saw Nancy standing outside the pizza place. Her back to her.

"Hey, kid!" She didn't turn around, "...Nancy!" The girl turned around but it wasn't her; she looked too happy, less sad anyway.

Out of nowhere a fist came at Jessica face. It did little if anything to faze her.

"Ow, yeah you really got me there," she said sarcastically.

It was a whole group of thugs. Whether this was in some way related to Nancy she didn't know. She did her best to overpower them, first couple guys no problem, she booted them across the street but then this one guy approached her and every time she punched hit it was like hitting steel. He finally had enough and picked her up, squeezing her waist tightly. She struggled but couldn't get him off her. He pushed her into a brick wall, leaving a body imprint like a cartoon.

Before she could stand up and fight or even get a better look at him, he punched her in the head. This wasn't like anything that she experienced before, someone as strong as this; he literally knocked her lights out. Everything went black.


In the morning, Jessica woke up under a pile of bricks.

"Miss? Uh, Miss? You alright?" She opened her eyes to see an older construction worker. She amazed him by pushing the bricks off and standing up seemingly unharmed. She shook the dust off her jacket. She looked around disoriented. "You, uh, need assistance?"

She looked around, peering at the buildings and the people like they were foreign to her. "Where am I?"

"We're at the corner of 5th and Main."

"Huh..."

"Are you ok?"

She scratched her head strangely and looked herself over, "Well, sir, I'm trying to figure that out. Where's the nearest hospital?" He pointed up the street. "Thanks..." She started walking unknowingly out into traffic. A truck blasting his horn sent her jumping back.

"Uh, Miss? I think you dropped this." The older man handed her a picture discarded on the ground.

It was a picture of Nancy but Jessica was looking at it like it was the first time she'd ever seen her face. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "What a looker!" Her face continued to stay that way.

The construction worker was getting a little more concerned. "Er, uh,;think you can get there on your own?"

Jessica nodded, as she looked at the picture lovingly, twirling her hair. The man left her, nor really sure what to make of the bizarre encounter. Jessica kissed the picture before slipping it into her front pocket.

She started walking to the hospital but found herself distracted by a large neon sign. The red neo sign animating a pair of women's legs opening and closing. 'LIVE! NUDE! GIRLS!'

Jessica was so drawn to this she couldn't think of anything else. She wanted to go inside for seemingly unrelated reasons. She would never have wanted to go into a place like that before. It's not like Nancy would be in there unless she really needed the money to go back home. It must've been the bright colors. She certainly wasn't thinking clearly maybe not thinking at all. Then she had this feeling like a shock to her system. A pain in her chest. Then a spike of pain to get skull. Hospital first.

More soon! Let me know what you think so far!
