Jessica POV

I slam the door, blocking out Dorothy and Trish screaming at each other for the 12th time this week and head out of the building.

I do this a lot now, walk around New York like a lost tourist, its better than listening to Mama Bitch and Patsy tear that red wig apart.

Four blocks and a hotdog in my hand later I glace to my side, noting two of those white and red sticks blind people use, one of them is a kid, probably ten, while the other's wrinkles have wrinkles, dam how is someone that old not stuck in a home?

The two turn down a dark alley and 5 guys who scream muggers follow after them, smirking.

"Shit" I curse, throwing my hotdog to the ground and running after them, I can't stand by while a couple blind dumbasses get killed.

"Didn't you hear me? I said give us the money old man!" the asshole at the front of the pack orders patting a bat against his hand threateningly.

"Not happening shithead" the old guy replies, "Matty just like we talked out, this is your test."

"What is he talking about?" the guy with the bat asks one of the guys behind him.

Before anything else can be said I move forward throwing two of the guys into the alley wall, then picking another up and throwing him into the fire escape 30 feet above, I move to take out the other two only to see the kid ninja kicking guy with a bats teeth out and the other one already out cold on the ground.

"You wreaked my test" the kid frowns, taking his stick from the other guy.

I raise an eyebrow "Test?"

"Yeah" the kid agrees, "Stick I can try again right?"

"Not today kid" the old man, Stick (what kind of shit name is that?) "What's your name girl?"

"Jessica" I reply, not able to hold in my curiosity about what's going on, "So you a teaching at blind ninja school? Weird cult? Or is this your freakish idea of bonding with your grandson?"

Stick laughs, "I'm teaching him to use his powers, maybe you could use some help with that too Jess."

I frown, crossing my arms "I can use my powers just fine."

Stick sniffs the air, "Really? Cause it smells like you dented the walls and the fire escape throwing those assholes around, plus lots of blood, they deserve it, but I don't think you wanted to hurt them that bad."

He is right, I didn't mean to hurt them that bad… I look to the kid "What powers you got errr Matty was it?"

"Matt" he corrects, "My senses are heightened, I had trouble not hearing the whole city, Stick taught me to control them and how to fight."

"I ain't done teaching you to fight Matty, we're only a year in, you got a long way to go" Stick tells him before going back to me, "I can teach you to really use your powers, to fight, if you got what it takes."

I didn't see much of what Matt did but he was badass, if that was after only a year how good will he be in 5 years? Plus with powers like his, he'll be great. Powers like mine with ninja skills, I could be really badass, "Okay Mr. Miyagi make me a Karate Kid."

I head home after getting a time and place to meet up with them tomorrow and a stop at Blockbuster to get the Karate kid movies out, if I'm about to become it I might as well watch a fun one first, cause I'm betting training with someone like Stick will be hell.

Walking through the front door I see Trish sitting on the couch with a ice pack to her left eye, "Mom's out with friends" she speaks before I can ask.

"Good" I reply, moving over to the TV and putting the video in, "I'm gonna watch Karate Kid, you wanna join me?"

She smiles, getting up and putting popcorn in the microwave (she never wants to talk about the shit her Mom does, this is good though, sitting together and watching a good movie, this is comfort and family, for both of us.) "Why the kung fu movie? I didn't think they were your thing?"

I shrug, sitting down and grabbing her blanket, "I don't know it looked fun…plus I um sighed up for one of those free kung fu classes."

"Cool" she grins looking a bit jealous, "Wish I could join you but…."

"I know" I nod as she sits down next to me, her Mom would never let her learn to fight back.

She pulls the blanket back to her, eating a handful of popcorn, "Are sure this is a good idea? What if you hit someone to hard or something?"

"That's why I'm doing this" I tell her, grabbing some popcorn myself, "I read somewhere fighters learn to control how much strength to throw into a punch or a kick, if I can learn that then I won't have to worry as much about putting bullies or your Mom in the hospital" I want to tell her, but Stick was very clear that this was not something to share around.

"Good" she smiles, "I hate having to give all those autographs to get those bullies and nerds to stop them talking when you throw jerks threw walls" she jokes.

I give her a light shove before looking to the movie.

So yeah, if you haven't guessed yet I am trying my hand at a AU, were Jessica Jones trains with Stick and Matt and changes a few things along the way. Jessica is 15 and Matt is almost 12 and I know the personalities aren't right, but I figure people change a lot growing up, especially Jessica who we all know changed a lot after Kilgrave, so I use the little we've seen in flashbacks for personalities.

I've got the first 5 chapters and a connected one-shot ready to post, I am working on more but I think it should be said that I do randomly lose interest in an idea and that might be all I post, hopefully it won't be.
