Chapter VI (II): You're the Lasso to my Wonder Woman
New York, Hell's Kitchen, 485 West 46th Street, 6 April 2006
What Jess doesn't expect, at the end of her investigation, is to return to her home and find Aziraphale waiting for her.
"Zira!" she welcomes him joyfully, embracing him.
"My dear girl, you are more and more beautiful and then you have such a spark in your eyes… something has happened to you. Something beautiful." the angel senses, smiling.
"Well, yeah ... let's say you guessed right: I'm dating a guy and I'm fancying him so much!" she informs him.
After all, for better or for worse, he has always been his confidant.
"Oh, Jessica, I'm so happy for you, you deserve it!" the angel rejoices. "You must absolutely let me meet him!" he adds, anxiously.
"No!" Jessica stammers, making him suspicious. "I mean, it's such a recent thing, give me some time, we're still in those 'just me and him' situations, you know?" she immediately runs for cover.
- Oh, how I wish I was at that stage with Crowley… wait, I'm not at any stage with him. - he grieves, but he regains his cheerful mood quickly.
"I understand perfectly well, dear. I promise I will not interfere until you feel ready. " he smiles at her.
"But I can tell you that he is a Doctor, one of those jobs that you praise so much, he helps people and blah, blah, blah."
- Well, when he doesn't make them do bad deeds, it is true that he helps them! - she mostly tries to convince herself.
"I couldn't have asked for anything better for you, even if I don't know him, I already like this young man!" the blond approves, only to remember something. "I know I shouldn't tell you, but it's such a curious thing ... Do you know that Crowley's protége also seems to have found a very special girl?"
For a moment Jessica fears the worst, then she remembers which between them is the detective. She is also flattered by how Crowley talked about her.
"Oh well, I wouldn't be surprised, it's Spring, the season of love!" she comments lightly, shrugging.
"I'm sure that girl will be wicked and heartless." Aziraphale shakes his head, in a total disapproving attitude.
"Hey!" Jessica acts insulted, but then she realizes what she's done, even from the confused way he's looking at her. "I mean, you're a bit of an asshole to generalize like this, Zira! Who tells you that maybe he doesn't feel attracted to this hypothetical special girl precisely because she represents his opposite? "
"Oh, my dear, you're right, I shouldn't allow myself to judge a girl like that, without even knowing her then!" the angel immediately repents.
"Exactly. Without even knowing her! " she reiterates. "By the way, why are you here? Do you have a particular mission to entrust to me? "
- Not tonight, not tonight, please, not tonight ... - she begs her lucky stars.
"No missions, simply, it was so long we hadn't seen each other, soI thought I'd drop by." he explains, smiling. "However, I think I'm going to go back to my library now. I'll tell you what, I thought I could come back here, in the name of the good old days, maybe when it's your birthday, to stay here little longer… a sort human thing, like travel, suitcase and hotel to book… "he plans.
"Oh yeah, that's a great idea!" she approves.
- As long as he doesn't watch me twenty-four hours a day, it's a good idea, - she ponders, grateful that he doesn't aim to stop at her place.
"Yeah, maybe if I can convince Crowley too, he likes New York as well, but he never gets to see it properly. Of course, unless he has to look after his assistant, who knows where he is ... "
"Damn right, who knows, I'm certainly the last person in the world who can know!" she giggles with feigned innocence, making the angl laugh as well
New York, Minton's Playhouse, Harlem, 206 W 118th Street, 6 April 2006
"You really are a vision!" Kevin exclaims ecstatically, when he sees her arrive with that little dress only half hidden by a black velvet jacket, enhanced by black leather ankle boots with stilettos.
Upon Jessica's decision, they agreed to meet right in front of the bar where they met that night.
"Thank you. As for you, Willy Wonka called, saying he wants his clothes back! " she teases him and he pouts. "Come on, dandy, I'm joking, you look great, it's a color that particularly suits you." she admits, giving him a little kiss.
"Oh good to know, then you'll see me wearing purple quite often," he smiles, against her lips, before deepening the kiss.
"Mm ... no matter how good it is, we can kiss later." she reluctantly separates, grabbing his hand. "Come with me, there is a taxi driver waiting for us and the driver already knows the destination," she explains, taking him with him. "Don't you dare ask him to reveal it to you because if you ruin the surprise I'll hit you!" she intimates him.
"But how? What about your promise? " he looks at her disappointed.
"And who talked about super punch? A normal one, like any human! " she makes him laugh as they board.
"Don't worry, I won't ruin anything."
When the taxi arrives at its destination, Kevin is somewhat perplexed.
"But… we are at the Empire State Building ! Didn't you talk about an isolated place? "
"Yes, but I also wanted something spectacular. This is spectacular for sure, as far as isolated… it could become empty, if you… " she winks at him, fiddling with the buttons of his shirt.
Kevin understands and grins.
"Ooh, the helper of Heaven is approving the use of my dark and evil powers!" he makes fun of her.
"I didn't tell you to make people throw down, just make them go away ... nothing too dark." she specifies.
"At you wish, Milady." he makes a half bow before going to the entrance.
As soon as he enters the reception /ticket office, he does not even give the operators the time to speak.
"I'm going to go up to the terrace, I will let everyone leave and you will block the entrance to all those who try to enter, except for a beautiful brunette in a black flowered dress." he arranges his orders, satisfied to see them nod.
Within half an hour the building empties of every tourist. Around midnight Jessica receives a text from 'Princess in Danger':
' Now you can go up, Vision, I am waiting for you on the terrace, on the eighty-sixth floor. K. P.s. All these efforts of mine deserve a prize ;P '
Jessica smiles, walking undisturbed through the hall, the corridors and taking the elevator up to the indicated floor, and then she walks towards him, beautiful and smiling, who is waiting for her with open arms , in the center of that terrace that is now only at their disposal.
"Now I understand what you meant when you asked me to save my energy for tonight," he comments, a little disappointed.
"Oh no, I don't think you understand anything!" she smiles, before pulling him to her and kissing him passionately.
Without stopping kissing, they move some steps until Kevin finds himself with his back pressed against the metal bars through which you can enjoy a breathtaking view, made even more enchanting by the lights of the night. They finish that fiery kiss just to be able to fully enjoy that view.
"Look, that's Brooklin , beyond there's Queens . There should be New Jersey and then Pennsylvania , Connecticut ... " Kevin explains, wrapping his arm around her waist, before they use the free binoculars to see everything better.
"Okay, you gave your show, I'd say it's time for me to give mine." Jessica decides, taking some sneakers from her bag and changing her shoes. "Powers or not, if I jump with those fucking uncomfortable boots I'll kill myself!" she makes him laugh.
When she is ready she takes him to the side of the balcony, the point from where he can have the best view.
"So, from here I will jump to the hundred and second floor and then from there to the tip," she announces.
"Won't it be too much? Jess, really, I just need to see you jump up a tree… it's better if we go back down. " he worries.
"This is because you don't know my powers!" she replies boldly. "Look!" she adds, before giving herself the push, an elevation that has nothing human.
With a series of quick leaps Kevin sees her reach the observatory on the 102nd floor and from there with another 'small jump' for her the final tip of the building.
She easily leaps back to the observatory and from there back down to the terrace in a single, nimble leap, grateful to Trish for giving her a tight dress that stays still around her legs.
"So, do you still want to see me only climb a tree?" she brags a little, while changing her shoes again.
"Amazing. You were absolutely amazing. You are unique, Jessica Jones!" he applauds her, before hugging her.
"You're not too bad either, Kevin Thompson!" she ruffles his hair, kissing him. "What do you say, do you still have some energy?"
New York, Four Seasons Hotel, 57 East 57th Street, 7 April 2006
It's almost two in the morning when Kevin takes her to his suite.
Taking advantage of the clear and not too cold night, the two allowed themselves a romantic walk of half an hour.
"Holy shit!" Jessica exclaims as she enters that spacious, luxurious and fully equipped suite.
There is a large bed that looks very comfortable, a sofa that is no exception, a large window from which she can enjoy an excellent view, fresh fruit in a bowl, above the coffee table, a mega TV and a bathroom worthy of a royal.
"You could have just said 'Wow, what a nice room!'" He teases her for her bad language.
"'Wow, what a nice room' doesn't fucking give the same idea as 'Holy shit!' I mean, holy shit, Kevin, you live in a palace! " she replies, ecstatic, going to explore every corner. "And I bet you don't even pay a quarter dollar!" he adds accusingly, crossing her arms.
"Oh well, maybe someday I do, if I earn particularly well!" he shrugs, taking off her jacket and placing it in the chair, along with his jacket.
It is a sufficient trigger for her to start unbuttoning his shirt, as he searches for the zip that closes the dress, discovering that it is on the left side.
She lets him lower the zip, remaining in black lingerie, before shedding his shirt and pants that reach the white carpet of the floor, along with her little dress. In a whirlwind of kisses, hickies, moans and caresses, the two deepen their knowledge.
"Jessica, before this gets out of hand, let me tell you: I'm not aiming for sex with you tonight. I mean, I would like it more than anything, but I feel it would be too hasty. With you I want to take all the time you need. " he murmurs, stroking her hair.
She smiles softly, kissing him even deeper, until they both have to stop, to catch their breath.
"Which is really weird. I mean, I slept with a lot of girls ... "
"I don't like this topic!" Jessica growls, pinching his side.
"Ouch! But what? You can't be jealous, huh? Look, it was before I met you! "
"I am not jealous!" she lies shamelessly. "It's just that it's deeply wrong that you abused those poor subjugated girls."
"Did you see me right? Do you really think I had to resort to my powers? " he smiles cheekily.
"Stupid sexy English!" Jessica mutters, making him laugh. "But you better stop luring girls if you don't want me to super punch you!"
"You said you would never use your super strength against me!" he reproaches him.
"So don't give me a reason to change my mind!" she warns him.
"If you do, I'll change my mind too and use my powers on you to make sure you can't attack me!" the persuader is put on the defensive.
The detective looks at him in a way that is anything but threatening.
"Oooh, you have to be really quick, because I'm going to attack you right now!" she murmurs sensual, before jumping astride his black boxers for another series of hot kisses.
They spend the night talking about their powers, their first discoveries, their background and many other things.
Kevin also reveals his villain name to her.
"Bullshits! You can't call yourself that. What, was Murdercorpse already taken? "
"Hey, so-called superhero, without even a shred of costume, show some respect, Killgrave is a name that makes people tremble!" he scoffs.
"Oh yes, with laughter!" she sneers impudently, but then becomes more serious. "So, you can also force people to tell the truth."
"Well, yes, among other things." he shrugs.
"You're like Wonder Woman's Lasso!" she comments, as if enlightened.
"What?" the persuader frowns.
Jessica tells him about that DC heroine and her powers.
"Since Philipp is gone, I have read all the comics he used to read and have become a real connoisseur."
"Funny that you tell me about DC and this is the Gotham suite!" he makes her laugh.
"Really! And what about the purple painting and the vase of violets instead? " she asks, pointing to the various parts of the room.
"Coincidences, I swear to you!"
Then Kevin gets more serious.
"Jessica, the accident, the serious loss you have suffered, everything you have told me ... I would love to use my power over you to take that feeling of loss away from you." he sighs.
"I don't want that, because, as unpleasant as it is, that feeling is part of who I am." she explains, hugging him. "Not that you have any better feelings than mine, hearing your story. I may have lost my family, but you seem to have never had one. " she murmurs, looking for his hand. "I can be your family, Kevin."
He looks at her almost touched, intensifying his grip. "I'd tell you the same, Jessica, but you told me you have a sister."
"Oh yeah, Trish, she also wants to meet you! As Zira would like it too, but no fucking way I'm going to please him! " she mumbles.
"Do you know that, before you told me, I was convinced that Zira was a pretty little angel with the same appearance as you, but only a tad older? Because that's the way Crowley and me are, "he tells her.
"Oh, then I want to meet him for sure!" she giggles, intrigued.
"I was thinking about what you told me earlier, actually yes, you are a little bit Wonder Woman and I could be your Lasso of Truth. Imagine what Crime Superduo we could be together… oh well, as long as Crowley is okay with me taking the side of justice, maybe with some bad deeds here and there, to compensate. " he speculates.
"No, don't worry, I suggest that everyone stays in their place. And then I would never fight alongside someone who has such a stupid nickname! " she mocks him again.
"Hey, come here, badass heroin!" he assaults her, carrying out a tickle-based revenge. And despite her powers, she suffers it, a lot!
When they decide to close their eyes, it's dawn and before she pulls up the sheet to cover herself, Jessica lays her head on Kevin's chest.
"You are the Lasso to my Wonder Woman." she murmurs already, half asleep and he, having heard her, smiles in the dark.

Notes:Er, did you really make it this far without decaying a tooth? ^^ '
There must also have been a confrontation between Crowley and Aziraphale ... but he was already coming out too kilometric, so you'll see it in the next chapter, among other things :)
Isn't true that hearing Jessica say that she goes out with a Doctor makes a little Easter egg / Crossover? 😂😂
Ah, I forgot, I stole the famous line 'Murdercorpse' with impunity from episode 1 × 9 'AKA Sin Bin' because I couldn't resist
As always, I hope you enjoyed it, but feel free to tell me anything!
