Janice hadn’t really felt this way before.
It was weird and she didn’t really know how to describe it. She missed Randy with her whole body – she missed waking up and seeing him next to her, she missed the way he smelled and how he laughed. Her past relationships had never been this serious – they had mostly been flings and friends-with-benefits situations. With Randy, however, it had been different. She had proposed to him, and she had been the one to end it.
But it was better this way. Better they break off the engagement than get him roped into situations he wouldn’t be safe in – and she refused to have another Masque situation. Refused to let Tombstone do something to harm Randy, because she knew he would. As much as she loved her dad, he almost refused to see her as a fully grown woman.
In his eyes, she was still a child.
So, feeling like she didn’t want to be alone, she had reached out to Felicia. Janice didn’t like many people, but Felicia was cool (even if she refused to call herself a spider-man villain).
Janice had been sitting on the edge of a building, dressed in her Beetle armour with the mask pulled halfway up her face, when Felicia showed up. “Thanks,” Janice smiled sadly at her words, continuing to stare over the city. “I miss him, more than I thought I would actually.”
Felicia of course had been nosy when she found out that Janice had broken off the engagement. The fellow criminal seemed to really like that Randy guy, judging by the several times Felicia had to sit through her ramblings about the man.
She didn’t understand why Janice would break things off the way she did. Sure, Masque had nearly fucked things up, but that was part of their lives. Janice was always going to be tied to this lifestyle so long as she shared DNA with Tombstone. And Randy had to have known that, right?
Felicia walked across the rooftop and plopped herself down next to Janice, half frowning at the less than enthusiastic answer she’d received. Janice was clearly pretty broken up about it all. She felt for her friend, even if she might have been a little judgy about the breakup. Nudging Janice softly, Felicia shrugged. “Well that’s why I’m here, isn’t it? So you can forget about him? What’re we doing tonight?”
