' You keep digging for information on me like I'm some open book... You ain't gonna find shit on me. ' // LEMME GIVE YOU SOME FRANK CAUSE ♥️♥️
“ oh, but i don’t need to. ” jessica jones has never learned when to not poke a damn rabid bear. and out of all predators prowling these streets like it’s the fucking jungle, castle is probably the most dangerous of them all. she’s done her homework; finding all the information you want in the gaping void that is the internet isn’t all that hard once you know where to look. jess does --------- she’s damn good at her job, can unearth secrets other people can’t even begin to imagine. it’s gotten her into more trouble than it’s worth it, but hey, she’s got that type of curiosity that cannot be sated, mixed in with just enough lack of self preservation to make her one of the best in her field.
but she doesn’t need all that to read him. she doesn’t need to know all the details of his admittedly fucked up background to see how he ticks. it’s in the way he holds himself, shoulders tense and drawn in, fingers itching for the trigger. it’s in the vacant look in his eyes, devoid of any glimmer of warmth, like the person he once was had just checked the fuck out. she’s seen that look often enough in the mirror to know what it represents. to see past his hard facade and glower. so her lips curl into a smirk, saccharine and sugary sweet. i dare you, the flash of white tiers between rubies seems to say. underestimate me.
“ you’re a glutton for punishment with a guilt complex as big as you are tall. ” switchblades infused in whiskey, the smoke of new york at night. she conceals the predatory glimmer beneath long lashes, curvature of the spine angled just so. she’s built herself from the scraps regurgitated by serpentine beasts, clawed her way out of hell. there’s dirt under her fingernails and her skin still smells of sulphur. it makes her reckless. it makes her brave. “ you act though as shit but you’re just as fucked up as the rest of us. and yeah, maybe you’re scary, the big bad punisher with his big boy toy guns and deadly aim, but you don’t scare me. now sit the fuck down and eat your damn bagel. save the act for someone who actually gives a fuck about your tragic backstory. ”
