From Just Roll With It: Riptide #130

and you find her suddenly, after seeing her wanted posters everywhere and she lies that shes still with the navy (you know all of her tells when shes lying. shes not good at lying to you either). shes in completely new clothes and when she talks about her crew she has a look on her face that was only ever directed towards You

you ask to see her again and she says no. you see her a few weeks later and you have to fight her. she lands on your ship with magical wings that youve never seen before either. and she tells you that shes going into the black sea. you say its a bad idea and she nods. but you can see that she wont be persuaded against it. you have to remain strictly professional because all eyes from your crew are on you and youre already under suspicion because everyone knows that was your best friend. you ask her to stay safe and she says she'll try, and that she'll see you later.

you hear that shes on the raft base with you later, when pirates suddenly attack after a loud declaration. you catch a glimpse of her diving through the sky, meteors streaking through the sky around her. her magic wings let her swoop effortlessly through. you remember how she used to run with her arms spread wide to pretend she could fly.

you dont know if she survives.

Holy FUCK Jay’s confrontation with her dad here might be my favorite piece of dialogue in the show so far. “You are the strongest man I’ve ever known, but you are a fucking pathetic father.”

From being too afraid to be candid with her family over the phone to this, what an insane shift. Seeing her mother alone and sick has to be a huge part of it. And maybe it’s just the fact that this happens right after taking him back to Zero, but I also feel like seeing Chip, Chip of all people, treat Ollie with more care, respect and attentiveness as a surrogate guardian than her father ever gave her must have played a part. Watching the most dysfunctional person she’s met make this kid feel safe and loved must have been a hell of wake up call. Jay could have grown up feeling like her dad loved her. Jayson could have done better. He chose not to.
